Expectations were sky-high heading into Bethesda’s E3 presentation on Sunday. What new information would we get about Doom Eternal? Maybe they would even tease some information about Starfield? But fans in attendance were stunned after Bethesda producer Todd Howard spent the full hour talking about how they worked really hard on Fallout 76 and how it would be nice if everyone stopped insulting them and gave the game another shot.

Expectations were sky-high heading into Bethesda’s E3 presentation on Sunday. What new information would we get about? But fans in attendance were stunned after Bethesda producer Todd Howard spent the full hour talking about how they worked really hard onand how it would be nice if everyone stopped insulting them and gave the game another shot.

Adding: “It just hurts to hear all this criticism. Not everything is going to be an ‘A.’ How about an ‘A’ for effort? The whole Eastern Penitentiary quest was pretty fun. Robot marshals! Would it kill you to be just a little more supportive and patient?” While some fans may be disappointed with the lack of new games at the presentation, it seems the company is intent on staying the course by continuing to tell peopleis a good game. And with Howard’s closing comments that “everyone being so negative and critical makes us not want to do another game,” it seems it could be quite a while before we see any new ideas over at Bethesda.

Bahaha

Biggest joke is...they didn't work really hard on it😄

I am a HUGE Fallout fan and have played every version since the original, that I bought in a physical store, when it came out. ‘76 is the end of my love affair. 😕

I too work hard, I am an Elementary school dropout with 700K gaming debts.

Courier6rules Gave the game several chances but I’m sorry, Even though this is satire.

😂😂😂

They worked 16 times the normal amount

bouphe Man it's a good job I know what The Onion is 🤣

The Onion stopped doing satire in 2020?

no Todd I won’t buy another month of Fallout 1st subscription!

All we wanted was Fallout 5 and Elder Scrolls 6, not this online bullshit

A touching display of emotion, that.

Who's putting bad Hard Drive articles on The Onion

Outer Worlds, on the other hand...

“c’mon everybody...!”

Students at Riverview Middle School Spell Out Human 'OH HELL NO!' on School Playground

Haha, nice try Todd, no Bethesda is dying because of this!

Fallout 76 proves Bethesda is mean.

Another one of Todd's lies.

gamefreak be like

I hoped it was a 'NO MAN'S SKY' case, but 76 is just a shitty game with still lots of bugs in it (some even from the release date)

Todd Coward

Unfortunately at the presentation the microphones didn’t work, the podium was on fire, and also there were just wild jackals running around biting people, but they promised to fix all those problems in the upcoming weeks.

When satire becomes reality.

looks bad todd

'Best of OGN'

LIES. THAT WAS ALL ME. I WAS THE REAL FALLOUT ALL ALONG

lololol!!!

lightningtybo 'Really hard' apparently = 90% re-used assets from the previous game.

I mean I know you guys are supposed to be ironic, but seeing all the other shit that they pulled off with this game it doesn't seem so unrealistic.

bullshit is hard work, and that's what Todd is best at !

Coyoteous Wow the Onion made a true news story

renee I’ve been playing the game since release and still find some entertainment in it but it’s getting stupid. Like seriously I don’t want to make a bunch of alcohol for dailies or work for the next 2 months to get a bag

Did they even apologize? No, fuck them.

renee Well I'd love to give it a go but unfortunately not going to happen for the next two years.

renee Fallout76 should have had more time in development but since the release the devs have been nonstop fixing, improving and adding to the game and it is enjoyable to play.

SuperRowando

If they worked 'really hard' there wouldn't have been a college essay's worth of bugs and glitches... And also 76 wouldn't have been a complete fucking flop How truly sad and pathetic. They're too far up their own rectal sphincters to own up to it

no

yugiohtas Sure, as soon as Todd Howard makes a public apology where he admits he lied knowingly before a live audience.

KaiserNeko Reading that article made me feel pity for Todd Howard. He is either genuine and kind of incompetent. Or he's playing the 'victim status' in order to sell his games, which either way is pathetic. Sorry Todd maybe elder scrolls 6 will be better, let's hope so.

KaiserNeko I miss when the onions stories were satirical.

This one... sounds eerily true, and could see someone like Todd saying it

No

Okay, so maybe the bag wasn't canvas, but some sweatshop worked really hard to get you that nylon one.

Nah. Lol. I didn't even give it a first try.

I mean that's pretty accurate.

It took us 6 months to release the game we said we would release last November. Give us a break and your money.

RDR2 online has better multiplayer than Fallout 76

iceGGfishh

I thought you made fake articles? This happened

yugiohtas

I have fallout 76 installed and still haven't played it much

oh i'm sorry, i didn't know showing our frustration to a bad unfinished work and a company who keeps lying to us was considered mean

I believed this completely until I saw the account

OMG. How NOT to monetize a game.

Nu. Never.

See Todd. See Todd Work. Work Todd Work. See Todd Cry.

People forget how hard it really is to put that many bugs in a single game. I can't wait for their next mega hit bug collection.

ValveNewsNetwor CTRL C + CTRL V is hard work? Damn teachers should've given me an A for effort then.

JuiceHead33 Hell no they don't care so why should i

Lmfao, even Nintendos Virtual Boy games are better than this piece of shit game.

im DEAD

NintendoBandage Lol wrekt

Wait this is pretty close to what they did

Fallout 76 was the downfall of Bethesda, why would we want to contribute to that failure?

amzzar

It's a good game. I can't see why people still hate it now. I guess not everyone can think and form an opinion for themselves and have to stay on the hate bandwagon.

I missed the Fallout 76 portion of the conference, so I may actually just accept this tweet as truth, based on what I've heard.

😆 I really like FO76.

stillgray

The amount of people who ate the union is astounding

MerkDEnglish

raulohimself XD

FallDrift Aaaaaah no , Bethesda can get fucked. First impressions count and this will forrever be a stain on their rep. Just like how no man's sky never lived down its terrible first impression.

disasterwarlock

Give us the ability to craft our weapons the way we liked them like in fallout 4

stillgray Hard work doesn’t guarantee a good product.

alyssaaguilo “We worked really hard this time.” Which means we didn’t really do shit last time and wanted your money

terrible game.. stick with fallout 3 or 4.. I like 4 better than 3. btw don't buy it at GameStop 10 dollars cheaper on eBay and 8 dollars cheaper on amazon. that's why $GME is cratering.. videogames PlayStation XboxE3 xbox investing stocks

Great game now, I love it

I still don't have my bag.

When did The Onion start posting real news? Jeez maybe Doom Eternal is really making everything turn upside down.

Okay but that’s literally what happened lmao

cassafra5 No

Thank you for being you Onion.

Bethesda shows they spent the last year figuring out how they can nickel and dime their player base for more money! And threw together a BR game and some NPC's int a game that should have already had them... But you right, we should stop being mean and just accept it!

reisartjunk

Yoshemo1 Todd Howard really hard or regular person really hard?

I don't do participation trophies

Last Fallout I played was Vegas. So behind 🤣

Na I actually like the game

You're fired.

Cc BellularGaming lol lol

stillgray I thought the onion was supposed to print fake headlines

TeeExTee I thought you guys were supposed to be satirical?

People who play on Gary's Mod worked harder than the stuff we see in Fallout 76. Though I suppose given the insanely long list of hidden cash shop only items that was left in the game in a secret dev room goes to show were all the man hours went into this asset flip of a game.

Priceless

ZhugeEX

And then it literally happened.

HardDriveMag did the Todd Howard thing better. Again. RIP the OGN.

😂😂😂

nope... it's gonna keep beeing shit

Welp

Do you all have a time machine or something? If so, can I borrow it? I promise not to change *too* much.

TVsJonLee

Look, all it needs is some human NPCs, a branching storyline, a single player offline mode, and mod support, and the game will be perfect. Oh wait that’s Fallout4

I'm glad i waited to see how 76 turned into an utter crap fest.

The best part is Todd Howard actually did this

hold on what do you mean this is The Onion?

Cc dr_cmb

AaronRowe1

LIES....Todd Howard didn't have the balls to get on stage right now 😂🤣

bam. the event isn't even over yet and you got on it.. lol

Both FO76 and ESO can go bump themselves

On point with this one

It must be hard to be The Onion these days. All your stories are actually plausible.
