10 Disastrous Video Game Sequels That Forgot What Fans Want

1. Fallout 76

Shadow of War Microtransactions
Bethesda

Much like Command & Conquer: Rivals, Fallout 76 was revealed and released in 2018... to less than warm reception.

When Bethesda released the mighty Fallout 3, standards were set for open-world games, this was the new benchmark. However, this isn't the case anymore. Now, most assume their games will almost certainly be full of bugs and glitches alike.

A saving grace for a while was a great story. To some, it was a diamond in the rough, but in Fallout 76's case, there just wasn't a story worth following.

Literally, this game was deserted, as all of the NPCs are replaced with either robots or computer terminals, with the reason being that the dwellers of Vault 76 were the first to venture out into the wilderness on Reclamation Day.

It's clear once you peel back Fallout's writing and faction-based storytelling, that the Creation Engine has seen its day. Though the game has received many updates since launch, it just wasn't what most fans wanted. We can all help that with the backing of Phil Spencer, Bethesda games get back on track.
