People are going to shit on me for this, but Fallout 76. I spent hundreds of hours playing that, and enjoyed the social aspect. Jumping into activities with other players and getting to see their camp creations and sharing my own was a blast.
fallout 76 can be okay, and it was fun in the earlier days, when the content wasn't trying to be serious (and failing), and I've played an ungodly amount of it (thanks, FOMO). but honestly, fallout 76 is just kind of a chore. it's a grindfest like any other mmo, and I really can't find much fun in it.
IMO Bethesda has someone at the top levels who forgets to ask if the task they are assigning the player is fun or needed. Far too often things just weren't fun like trying to find a camera on the tourist to complete dailies and weeklies that required it (this is after they added it to the game a month AFTER they added it to dailies/weeklies)
There's was a time during the covid lockdown where I was paid by the government to smoke weed all day and play fo76 with my best boys. I don't have the time or energy for big live service games anymore, but if I did I'd be playing it again. I still boot it up to go around my camp like a museum of that time.
Besides from performance issues, fallout 76 is great!
Enjoy what you want man, don't let us convince you otherwise :P
