You can expect a very lengthy story of around 60 hours of gameplay with some of the best storytelling Rockstar has ever done Rockstar went all out on the level of detail this game brings the players as it is leaps and bounds above anything else they have done The world is extremely large and will make any open world MMO’er feel right at home for questing, exploring, and make completionist wonder if they should quit as there is that much to do in the game Red Dead Online GTA 5 but in the wild west - and that’s not a bad thing - A lot of the missions are an extension of what we would have done in the story but if you happen to be caring something of value - other players can kill you can take it for themselves. There will be microtransactions but currently, the only thing that would apply would be gold bars which are used for cosmetics only Different multiplayer mode that mimics modes we saw in GTA 5 And of course, no modern multiplier is complete without a battle royal mode Fallout 76 Now when you do have a full team of people all running quests together and fighting off the wasteland it is fun and you do not notice some of the negatives. With that said Fallout 76 is a shell of a game of what was promised to us - Bethesda has said fixes and content are on the way but right now we have another No Man’s Sky on our hands It was supposed to be an answer to all the prayers for the fallout fan base which was Fallout game we have known to love but multiplayer It was not Sure it had that Fallout feel of a game but it had and still has a lot of downsides No non-robot NPC Because of no NPC, the story is locked away in audio logs and notes found throughout the world No decision dialogue Limited building storage A LOT of bugs No Mods Support Destiny 2 - Season 5 (Season of the Forge / Black Armory) Black Armory will be releasing on December 4th - Must own the Annual Pass Story-wise we are being tasked with a new mission to go rediscover 4 weapon forges lost during the golden age The Hype is real - and yes we know we have been stuck in this before but the success of Forsaken has us encouraged New higher light level - Increase of 50 Power Levels New powerful and unique exotics New areas that we have never been able to access or explore before Soft cap will still remain at 500 Players under 550 should see an increase in Prime Engram drops, and receive higher power bumps to help them reach end game content a bit easier Powerful reward sources will remain consistent for anyone who owns D2 Forsaken New powerful gear rewards introduced for anyone who owns the Annual P --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/allthingsgeekery/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/allthingsgeekery/support
