    It is still a pay-2-win game that is NOT free-2-play and ALSO requires monthly subscription to enjoy without constant frustration and feeling you are playing some cheap free-2-play mobile MMO

    It kinda feels like a lite/worse version of Fallout 4. The new missions with npcs made the game better, but the stories are still not really interesting and way to short. I wouldnt play this game solo, because it just doesnt feel fun, i only played it with friends. Why did they even make a cap for the players chest this just ruins the fun.

I wouldnt play this game solo, because it just doesnt feel fun, i only played it with friends. Why did they even make a cap for the players chest this just ruins the fun. A change a while ago completly ruined the game for me tho. Enemies now scale with your level so there is not really any player progression. A low level will deal as much damage to an enemy as somebody with a higher level since the enemies scale to each player. When you get stronger over time the enemies in the same area get stronger aswell so there is not point for me to upgrade my character. The System before was way better, where enemies would have a certain fixed level in a specific area. I also prefered the perk system in Fallout 4 where you could unlock every single perk. It is a grind to unlock every perk, but this was another reason that kept me playing. Why couldnt they just make a Fallout with coop combatibility instead of an online Fallout. Im just gonna stick to the other Fallout entries for now. Expand

    Недоделаная, баганая, скучная, сырая, унылая, никчёмная недоигра, позор ленивым, жадным, бездарным разработчикам.

    It is really disgusting that after you pay 60 dollars/euros you will have to get a gamepass like subscription to enjoy the full game, and its not just skins, but armors and completely different game modes. Fallout 4 looked better and the building is not fun anymore and it has no point. Literally no choices in an RPG and it doesnt have some of the fun gameplay mechanics in other Fallouts.

    A complete wasteland of wasted potential. Elder Scrolls Online was a major failure, and it seemed like it would be Bethesda's greatest failure. However this game managed to take that title. Not only is this the worst game Bethesda has ever made, it is the biggest letdown in over a decade as Bethesda fell from great heights to this pathetic mess of a game.

    It's hard to define all the reasons this game is bad. Disgusting business practices? Bad customer support/service? Crap forum moderation? No cohesive plan for DLC releases. Day one game breaking bugs persistent through year two? Yea, this game isn't even worth this review. Done.

    This game should 've been a Multiplayer add-on for Fallout 4 because it's basically the same game without an offline mode and that's it.

    The graphics are ugly as sin with absurd post-processing effects. They made combat worse than Fallout 4, so they removed the fun part. The reward for my first quest was a slot machine token.

    I played 10 hours, there's no story, nothing to do. I was so disgusted that I played Fallout 1 and 2 for the first time.

    I played this once on Xbox game pass and I hate it. Probably because I'm not such a multiplayer fan, also microtransactions and greedy developers.

    W życiu nie grałem w tam mało klimatyczną grę. Twórcy w ogóle nie wiedzą o co chodzi w świecie Fallout ! Bardziej to gra SIMS niż Fallout. Szkoda czasu - i tak projekt zostanie zamknięty do 2 lat.

    Fallout 76 is just like Destiny. a boring, empty but kinda cool looking world(if you are ok with **** graphics and a f*cking old engine), but unlike Destiny FO 76 got no good Lore and a pretty f*cked up gameplay. I mean Destiny got atleast nice shooter-elements.

    so if you combine **** graphics, bad gameplay,a pathetic story, totally useless and stupid pvp, spice all that up with some

    What an incredibly buggy mess. Even several years in the game feels like an early access title. Plus outrageous microtransactions. How sad that the gaming industry has fallen this far. Gaming used to be fun, but it's now nothing but battle passes and corporate greed. It's honestly toxic.

    in 2022 Fallout 76 has some bright moments, especially "steel dawn" DLC and of course they finally added NPC's (LOL). But it's still not even mediocre game, but pretend to be close i guess. As a fallout fan i'm sad, that this franchise getting worse with every game since Fallout New Vegas. If Fallout 4 has it's own charm, Fallout 76 is just bad.

    Against my better judgement, I risked getting this on Steam when it was discounted. What I can say for sure is... WTF! What kind of Fallout is this? 1- The crafting and building. Somehow they managed to make this more complicated and less usable than for Fallout 4.

I would be impressed if this was what the team were hoping to go for but I doubt it was. 2- The fighting is poor and jerky/laggy. 3- Things randomly disappear and pop back in again. Trees, buildings, people... Half way through doing something the thig just... vanishes so a conversation is stuck or you plummet to the ground because the building you were on isn't their. If you survive the fall, you're then trapped in the basement as it phases back in. 3- What kind of story is this? There almost is no story. It's wake up alone, go outside not being able to collect much on the way, wander around a bit picking up a wee mission or two. Done. Nothing about that is any good. The suggestion that this could be played as a single player game is... erroneous. 4- Where the flip is everyone? Where are the NPCs? I get its a radiated wasteland but seriously? 5- The weapons and armour 'degrade' very quickly. This is one of the cheap ways that the franchise is trying to milk money from people no doubt. 6- It's art is very bland. These are just a few of the complaints and I will be applying for a refund. Not even discount bucket is worse this. It's rubbish. Expand

    Been playing Fallout since 1997 and loved every title since.. until this one.
    F76 is just not a Fallout game. It is a generic multilayer game we already have way too much of.
    I still don't know what they where thinking.. why take a timeless and classic franchise as Fallout and ruin it with a cash grab like that... then again, kinda the same thing happened back then with Fallout Tactics.

    That aside, just looking at it is for what it is... it is a mediocre multiplayer survival game, full of bugs and glitches. Nothing special!
    No npcs, no story, no great characters, no great moments that stick with you for years, like we had in the "real" Fallout games!
    Personally biggest disappointment this year.. but hey, I still have fun with the classic and newer Fallout titles.

    Its bugy, i dont think it would even count as a fallout game, and bethesda didn't learn from their ancestors, Interplay did a similar think with Fallout Brotherhood of steel, made it a money making machine no one likes, but people still play it.

    FO76 ran like an asthmatic pig uphill on PS4. However it runs pretty dreamy on PC. Personally I liked everything that FO76 had to offer except one thing a major deal breaker. The base game stash limit is a measly joke of 1,200 lbs. Not 1,200 items, but 1,200 numbered in weight. Ok back off to play FO4 for the umpteenth time. No problems hording to my hearts content in that one.

    Could be very good game but unforgivable:
    - cant redeploy camp. Ok so i've tried to rebuild and what? No materials/base parts (2 available camps no materials) cant even fast travel to unexisting camp.
    - fast travel - there is no public transportation so why paying caps? - too much limited storage and building parts at once - even with human npc's still feels like uncomplete game, place

    Don't let the 'new content' and sale price fool you!

    What a waste of time- every time i log on, i get a "camp cannot be placed" error message and so the first thing i have to do is damage control, every freaking time! I have to start finding a place to redeploy, and then i have to see how many quest tasks that i previously did have evaporated and need to be re-done- ooh sooo much fun,

    And if i want to play the game solo {so that i don't have to re-setup camp every time because some douche put a gaudy palace of horrors where my simple camp was while i was offline} I have to pay extra for that privilege.

    So yeah, there may be some new add-ons, but that just wasn't enough for me even at a low price. If I want some Fallout, i'll go back and re-play Fallout 4, or new Vegas or even fallout 3, anything but this- there are just too many great games out there to waste time on anything so mediocre.

    Fallout 76 represents a big disappointment and the lowest point of the series so far. Riddled with bugs, repetitive and dull gameplay, nonexistent story and outdated graphics, it fails as a both multiplayer and singleplayer experience for fans and newcomers alike.

    Miracles do happen once in a while and No Man’s Sky proved that sometimes it is possible to get back on your feet even after a terrible failure. Right now though Fallout 76 is botched spectacularly on so many levels that even talking about this game is a waste of time. [01/2019, p.46]

    An unfinished game with bifurcated identity and in an almost dysfunctional state. It's hard to build on a bad base, that will never change. Like the war. [Issue#292]
