I don't understand the bashing of Fallout 76, it has the great immersion of Fallout, with all things which missed before, a deep crafting, all the loots are useful now, the rpg/survival progression is excellent, great quests, PNJ are often "funny", the multi is an awesome addition (aids, trades, fights), the Fallout world is really alive now, with frequent events (rescue a nuclear plant, beat a big monster with other players...). The PVP system is also great, for example, if a high level player attack you, don't reply and the damage will be very low, so you can escape, if he kill you, he's marked as "criminal" and other players could attack him ;) otherwise, you can fight as usual, the good thing is, when a lower level try to catch your "treasure" you can shoot him a bit, to keep the place ;)
    If course, it would have been even better with an Obsidian script ;)    … Expand

    After adding wastelanders, the game is much better than in the premiere.
    -Less errors & bugs & crashes
    -more FPS
    -lots of new content
    -A little better graphics
    -Microtransactions :/

    SUMMARY:
    "no longer terrible game but below average successful"

With a massive install of over 35GB this updated is larger than many games and the amount of new content it features is impressive.

    New locales, missions, weapons, and characters are introduced to the game as well as several improvements which greatly improves the game in most phases.

    Two new factions, The Raiders and Settlers are introduced and through a series of missions and optional side quests they offer; players will be able to decide which faction they wish to align with before they embark on the final main mission for the game.

    The new factions offer very detailed bases which not only give players ample exploration space but also more opportunities to use the classic dialogue trees which allows players to select their responses and actions and also affects their reputation and how various characters respond. Aggressive responses are likely to start a fight or make people wary of you while more balanced and helpful responses will increase your standing with them.

    There are all sorts of new Legendary creatures and weapons and players will be able to earn special currency to purchase new Legendary items.

    Crafting is still a huge part of the game as being able to make and fix weapons, food, armor, and ammunition is vital to surviving the Wastelands.

    There are also several other missions such as the introduction of a new bar whose owner will have several missions for you as well as a murky past.

    Players can now get an Ally who will help them out and go on various missions. One is an Astronaut who depending on choices you make can become a romantic interest and adds a bit more depth to the overall game and a nice break between the battles and travel over the vast gaming area.

    Fallout 76 had more than a few issues at launch and has endured much criticism from the gaming community as a result. The developers have continued to put out new content and fixes for the game and with the arrival of the free Wastelanders update; the game is shaping up more and more to what players had hoped it would be.

    Being able to play solo or with other players allows for versatility and I actually saw a server wait que for the first time which shows that more people are coming in to try the game. Players must have the base game in order to play Wastelanders but it can be found under $20.00 and since the game does not really have an end; is ideal for people with time to play. Having completed the new main quests; I still have countless options such as doing side quests, taking on a cult, launching a Nuke, hunting creatures, and taking on a mysterious cult as just a few of the many remaining options available to me.

    I really enjoyed this new update as I became immersed into the new missions and storylines and found myself looking forward to playing each day. I did many quests on my own and had friends join in when I needed more firepower on a quest, crafting help, or general company.

    There are still various glitches that arise and I found a few in character animations such as odd twitching and players clipping into objects. Considering the update was completed while the team was working remotely and arrived only one week after the planned launch is impressive and helped me overlook the issues as I really enjoyed the new missions, locales, and updates as it was almost an entirely new game in various aspects and more in line with what we expected at launch.

    Wastelanders is a very impressive step forward for the game and hopefully more fantastic content like this will be coming in the future.

    No puedo darle un 10 porque aún sigue siendo un título muy experimental y esto conlleva a que existan aún muchos bugs, que si bien Bethesda va solucionando, no al ritmo que a mi y a otros nos gustaría.    … Expand

    Played on day one and beta. Was annoying.. but after one year later i logged in the game again.
    Gotta be honest, i`m a HUGE fan of Fallout 4 and 3. Was very dissapointed at launch, but now, with wastelanders, rocking 100+hours already and can`t even scratch the surface of secrets and side missions, wich is what i liked in fallout 4!

    J'ai passé, environ, 800h sur ce jeu et, à moins de "Rusher" les quêtes principales, il est impossible de s'ennuyer au bout de quelques heures, comme sur d'autres jeux (TOW, 50h de durée de vie, par exemple).    … Expand

    This is probly one of the best IF not the best Online Survivor RPG out there currently
    Professionaly speaking however ... Keep that in mind
    FO76 osnt have much in terms of competition, Ark - 7 Days to Die - Conen Exiles FO76 WL (WasteLanders) has NPCS / Story / Quests / Events among many other things over Games like Ark and many others in the Genra the 1 downside is ...

    You cant realy denie that FO76 is prob the best in its Genra, The problem however is the Genra isnt realy all that big.
    Ark gets 7/10 and its more buggier then FO76, Dosnt have Quests dosnt have Story Dosnt have NPCS dosnt have Events Exc Exc
    so I guess 10/10 for FO76? I Realy dont like that review score i mean compare it to say FO4 and ... Meh Rather have FO4 with coop then this game but still

    I Would put Ark 3/10 FO76 WL At like 7-8/10 or such truthfully only giving it a 10/10 coz i relised how high people aparently view other Online Survivor RPGS out there.    … Expand

    Fallout 76 is now in 2023 too much of a Theme-Park MMO now to recommend and Simply a Shell of What Fallout is all about but back in 2020 when this Expansion was released, it was good but not now.    … Expand

    The Fallout 76 Wastelanders update might be the salvation of the game. The free expansion finally adds NPCs to the world and adds a lot of new content. Bethesda also improved the graphics, in particular the lighting system. It's still not technically perfect however and the new additions come with their own problems. Still, the Wastelanders update is a giant leap for Fallout 76.

    So, the issues I had were just minor nuisances really. But the landscape is gorgeous despite the horrors that can be found within, the soundtrack is amazing, and the stories of those inhabitants that have survived, gives the wasteland and sense of hope. The main story quests are generally enjoyable and there was the feeling that they all had a purpose. There is still a grinding element to the side quests though, as you try and level up, but the goal of finding that treasure pushes you towards the end zone.

    Fallout 76: Wastelanders is a clear improvement on Fallout 76, with NPC's actually making West Virginia feel like it's worth exploring and doing things in for the first time since the game was released. The new quests are entertaining and engaging, featuring characters that are genuinely enjoyable to interact with and will put a smile on your face. Sadly, these are still too far apart and the core problems that held Fallout 76 back remain, particularly as a new character has to play the interminably dull and lifeless original content just to experience what was brought in with Wastelanders. It also doesn't help that this is riddled with bugs and the game has a number of issues with the mechanics that are only fixed by microtransactions and a subscription service.
