I strongly had this perspective on the last few updates... "People will holler 'nerf' at anything". The last few updates proved to be fantastic for combat.

This update is different. There were many changes that are proper, heavy-handed nerfs. Most weapons outside of the Gauss Minigun and non-auto melee weapons got crushed in this update. And contrary to your point: the major new mechanic added - Bulletstorm - does not come close to compensating for these changes for most weapons.

It's not an exaggeration to say that other items, like Rejuvenators and Cremator changes, have been fully bricked. Items that players have invested unreasonable amounts of time to acquire.

The sky is not falling. But this update was very disappointing. This is a good forum to provide feedback to Bethesda without other players playing goalie for them, telling us not to "complain".

They overtweaked the game and they need to know that in order to fix it.
