    Huge fan of Fallout, huge fan of Elder Scrolls. This game is so broken that I am now not a fan of any future games made by Bethesda.
    Pro:
    Fallout game you can play with friends.
    Cons:
    An alpha build to game at full price.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Long time fallout fan, drawn in with three so some might call me a newcomer but id say having experienced every iteration of fallout to have taken place in this engine allows me to confidently say this is the least stable.

    i have roughly 20 hours logged and i have to say that every quest feels like an uninspired slog from point a to point b and back for a little more ammo and some xp. weapon mods give you a reason to keep looting but you reach a point where you no longer have anywhere to store loot, even after trying to sell off some stuff.

    The camp system is a relatively decent port of the settlements from fallout 4 but you're prevented from doing anything really interesting or fun with it by build size limits and the inability to build near existing locations.

    Player interaction is a joke, trade is nonexistent with other players and next to pointless with robots as most items are worth literally nothing, PVP should have been left out as the way it's implemented means if you don't want to interact with PVP you don't have to and can just leave the server or move on without taking any meaningful damage.

    Level locking weapons seems like an unnecessary way to keep powerful weapons out of the hands of low level players and personally resulted in my inability to use the first gun i came across.

    Notable glitches that happened in the hour preceding this review alone, crashes, server disconnects, a glitch in a quest where you drop quest items from your inventory and the game decided to register all of my .308 ammo as a quest item before causing it to disappear into the void never to return, a supply drop was spawned inside of a boarded up building, enemies both t posing and having severed appendages reattached with long strands of flesh.

    Enemies are probably the worst part of this game because with no interesting NPCs to occupy your time one would expect enemies to pick up the slack, i have never felt threatened by an enemy in this game, my first death (and second) were the result of trying to participate in an event that i was unknowingly about 30 levels under leveled for, literally every other enemy i have encountered has been laughably easy to dispatch and frequently when fighting a band of enemies of mixed level the highest level enemy seems to somehow be the easiest to kill, also the vast majority of the time scorched and ghouls are the only enemies you seem to encounter while wandering, and while scorched seem to be the replacement for raiders it seems game breaking to find spawned in and lootable raider corpses out in the world.

    If the narrative that the vault residents are the first to set foot in Appalachia since the nukes fell, then how did raiders get here. I'll not even mention the fact that logistically there is no way the brotherhood of steel should exist in this game because delving down that road may result in an aneurysm.

    All in all i got about what i expected from this game the only reason i didn't give it a 0 is that some people put together this world, and it does look good, granted it also looks like it was made six years ago because Bethesda refuses to acknowledge that time passes, which might be why the state of buildings in this game is roughly the same as the buildings in fallout 4, or maybe that's because Bethesda just wanted to recycle as much as they could from fallout four to minimize the effort they would have to expend on this game.

    This is probably ten times longer than the average review of this game but i felt providing context for the hate this game is receiving was important, because people aren't just hating on this game because of the bandwagon effect, there are reasons to genuinely despise what Bethesda has done to our beloved franchise in this installment, and while some people might enjoy this regardless of what it is those voices cannot be given the same credence, someone who gives this game a 10 is just trying to offset the vast majority giving it a 0, now whether it deserves a 0 is up for debate but inflating your score to offset the average is just slimy, to anyone still reading this novel, know that this game is not bad because it exists, its bad because it wasn't given the effort it needed to live up to its potential.    … Expand

    A horrible buggy mess as expected from Bugthesda, they also changed a lot of the lore from this 21 year old game series. They decided to do one of the most anti consumer things you can do to a game, make it online only and it backfired. Sorry to see you go fallout, it was fun while it lasted.

    This game takes everything you loved about the Fallout serious, and scraps it. Then it adds on horrific lag, and terrible frame rates (even on a gtx 1080 on medium settings!) making combat an incredibly frustrating experience.

    First of all, its a buggy mess.
    The world feels so empty without NPC's and the endgame (or the lack of it) is a joke.
    If you're playing coop, only one can use a workbench at a time, which slows the game down a lot.
    Overall i wouldnt recommend this to anyone, especially with the current price tag.

The constant, and I mean CONSTANT, stopping to play holotapes or read long terminal entries is annoying in the extreme. NPC interaction was fun in prior games, especially New Vegas, but it doesn't exist here. If I weren't a Fallout fan, I'd see no reason to play this. And banking on nostalgia just isn't enough to keep even a fanboy interested for very long.

To make it clear: my gaming experience in the Fallout series starts from Fallout 3 and New Vegas, and in TES – from Oblivion (I got my first PC at the time of release of the last one). I’m not a die-hard fan, but from these days I completed each game from the both of the series thoroughly, with the time passing and modding resources growing and a new ways of playthrough appearing. Skyrim turns 7 years this November and I’m installing it on my PC once in a half of a year from the moment of its release, load with ton of mods and go on exploring again. Fallout 4 is on my hard drive from the day of release. There is no need to discuss other games in that review, but I want to mention my high appreciation of the games from the Dishonored, Doom, Prey and Wolfenstein series, released by the departments of your company.

    I’d like to call myself a fan of Bethesda studios. I mean, among the other studios you create a worlds that can engage a gamer for years. It’s an incredible work. I’m studying gamedev now and I know what I’m talking about. By the way I started to learn it also due to my childhood experiences taken in games including the works of yours. And furthermore, these worlds I mentioned allow gamer to build up his own unique experience using mods. This extends a living cycle and replayability of games a lot. But we have a thing there.

    You know it yourself about the bugs, glitches and gameplay problems of beta version, about the easiness of cheating, about lore, about the paper discs, about uninstalling the game, etc. I see no reason to write about it all, the other users and journalists done that for me already. All of these things could be forgiven and they would forgive.

    What is ruining the general impression of the game is total unoriginality and the fact that the game itself is not finished (even in the context of open beta version). It’s obvious that the game is always a profit-oriented product, but this time the profit looks like the only reason to make a game. You can see an indifference to the final quality of a product in many aspects such as animations, questing, fractions, crafting, graphics, PvP interaction (more on this later). You did a great job, but I’m sure you know it – to make a game on a quality level of your previous releases you must have done a 10 times better. Now it looks like Fallout 4 with a great fan-made multiplayer mode. You know exactly why – the game uses a huge percent of content and code directly from Fallout 4, that had its own visual and gameplay style after all. That is not a problem. The problem is that the remaining part of content made without the proper effort. I’d undoubtedly support a small team of modders made such mod for a single player game. This quality would be an unbelievable success. But not for Bethesda level of studios.

    The second problem is uncomplicated, absolutely non-challenging PvP and survival in multiplayer game set in a post-apocalyptic world.

    In this case the statement about support for mods sounded like an avoiding the responsibility for an incomplete final product. Something like “modders will improve, we provide the ground”. For now, after all the waves of hateful reviews, you probably see that it doesn’t work that way.

    Due to a very high target you had to hit I evaluate your work strictly comparing it with previous experience. I tried my best with beta, sessions of which took place in the dead of night in my country. And after participating I have to note with my regret that your decisions taken this time are wrong.

    Thanks for the beta. Now I assure that there is no sense in buying the game for now, until the serious update and improvement releases. Will these improvements be made by the studio or implemented by modders – time will show, but this game have to change greatly.

I'm not going to give this game a 0 out of spite like others, but I'm also not going to sit here and pretend like this game has no glaring problems. I've experienced broken quests, a-posing enemies sliding around on the ground, de-buffs from items that can't be cured, very poor hit-box registration and unresponsive combat, insane performance issues, and many more bugs that were present in the beta, and still made it into the final release. There are no NPC's, no dialogue, and no choice. Instead, you discover the dead bodies of NPC's and you have to listen to holo tapes that provide no immersion and seem ramble on for ages. You can hear people speaking to you, and quest objectives telling you to "meet the mayor" or something along those lines, only to reach this person and realize its actually a robot or a giant computer terminal. It results in a dead, boring world that sadly has no life to it. If I were to go into hardcore fan mode, I could complain about the lore established by previous titles, and how this game absolutely shatters everything that has already been set in place. As a positive note, I do have fun playing with my friends. Interacting with each other to fight a group of enemies or just exploring the world can be fun, but after a while it just isn't enough to keep me playing. I have given this game 25 hours minimum, to ensure I have seen and done as much as possible, the last thing I want is to create a lackluster negative review based out of spite. I can admire Bethesda's interest to push the series into a new direction to offer something fresh, but sadly this risk was not worth it. A return to normal single player RPG stories would be a much welcomed return in my book.… Expand

    Fallout 76 at its core is a game designed in a similar fashion to that of Fallout 4; split between too many directions and attempting to cater to too many different groups that it fails at everything it does.

    Fallout 76 utilizes an aging engine, which in and of itself is actually a very good engine, but one that isn't kept up to the recent gaming market standards, nor one that is utilized to even a fraction of its potential. This is evident by the numerous mods that outstrip the vanilla product that are produced by unpaid, [at times] hobbyists without the resources of a massive business at their back.

    Fallout 76 attempts to appease both PvE and PvP players using a failed system that in the end only detriments both groups. Throw in the poor shooter mechanics, framerate/graphics issues, server issues and numerous bugs and you're left with simply a poor gameplay experience.

    Furthermore, Bethesda's attempt at creating any meaningful story once again falls quite short in a world devoid of human NPCs, adequate quest systems or progress. The world and story are poorly crafted as is, hidden behind the logs of newly deceased West Virginia residents rather than a living, breathing world, but take into account the multiplayer nature and you're hard pressed to enjoy a narrative with others talking over audio logs.

    All in all, if you're looking for a proper Fallout entry (by that I mean Fallout 1, 2, 3, Tactics and NV), then you're out of luck here. If you're looking for a poor attempt at a console port and Fallout 4 multiplayer devoid of anything of substance, then this entry is for you. This of course is subject to change in a year or two with the addition of private servers, mods and bug fixes, but this hinges on the fact that Bethesda actually cares to fix their game's issues which doesn't seem likely given that these core issues were in place three years ago with Fallout 4 and the contention of the game's criticism.

    Lastly, Fallout 76 is of course a Bethesda game riddled with Bethesda bugs tied to an engine that's been modified and remains unfixed with the same bugs present since Morrowind. One can hope the numerous bugs will be patched, however, given that Bethesda hasn't cared to do so in several game releases (Oblivion, Fallout 3, New Vegas, Skyrim, Fallout 4, Fallout 76), this doesn't seem to be a good hope.

    Overall I've given this game a 4/10 due to subpar and poor visuals, performance, narrative, quests, world building, gameplay and bugs. Visuals, performance and bugs are fixable which would give this game (IMO) a 7/10. This is, I believe, generous considering the fact that this is an entry in a once renowned, beloved and masterpiece RPG series: Fallout. If one were to look at this game from a Fallout perspective, then this game would score far lower in my mind considering its inability to remain true to the tenants, lore and core that is Fallout.    … Expand

    Fallout 76 is a game that attempts to be something different from its predecessors. Unfortunately, that leads to 'loss of identity' and 'more technical difficulties'.

[8/10] * The visuals and the    Fallout 76 is a game that attempts to be something different from its predecessors. Unfortunately, that leads to 'loss of identity' and 'more technical difficulties'.

    The Outstanding:
    * The world is massive and active effort is put in to diversify each environment. [10/10]

    The Good:
    * You can hang with friends and goof around wearing a pink dress! [8/10]
    * The visuals and the scenery are at times really pleasant. [7/10]
    * 'Enemy variety' is more than any other previous entry. [6/10]

    The Bad:
    * Introduction of microtransactions through 'Atom Shop'. [4/10]
    * The game has those typical Bethesda bugs, and these are compounded by Bethesda venturing into the online world for the first time. [3/10]
    * Some basic obvious features are missing at launch; i.e. push-to-talk button, FOV settings, key-binding issues. [2/10]
    * Shooting mechanics are not the best. As in, if you are an FPS player, you'll find this to be very very average. [4/10]
    * Most quests (40 hours in) are "Start➡Locate➡Shoot➡Loot" and based on who you are, that can get boring early on. [2/10]
    * No actual incentive for PvPing other than 'wanting to'. [2/10]
    * A specific PvP style that requires following an 'honor system'! And can be exploited in different ways. For example:
    Player A attacks B. B takes very little damage. B puts on the best gear and weapon and almost one-shots player A. [2/10]
    * Lack of general polish. Presumably due to improper or limited testing. Example: Long holotapes (5-6 minute audio tapes) that you need to listen to without getting disturbed. They surely hadn't tested this in a multiplayer environment.) [3/10]

    The Ugly (things that would infuriate fans)
    * The game uses Creation Engine, which seems inherently flawed for an 'online' coop game. Example: FPS is tied to your in-game speed. [1/10]
    * Some issues and bugs that existed in the past 2 installments and were reported ad nauseam and even made news, are still present in this game. [1/10]
    * No human NPCs. This changes the DNA of this Fallout game drastically, if not eliminate it completely. [0/10]
    * Lack of 'mods' which is one of the main attractions of any Fallout game. Obviously 'mods' can't be introduced to public servers. But "there won't be any mod-supported custom servers until November 2019 at the soonest" based on Pete Hines, vice president of Bethesda. [0/10]

    Rating Average: 3.5

    Summary
    Bethesda has tried something new here. Regardless of their intention, they have created a product that focuses on something that is not their strong suit.
    To bring up a comparison; imagine a game like Destiny but without the superb shooting and without any NPCs, but with a bigger map. That is Fallout 76 for you.    … Expand

    Es wurde schon huntert mal geschrieben - es hätte einfach eine Mod für Fallout4 sein sollen, auf keinen Fall ein Vollpreis-Titel. Bethesda hat eigentlich ein paar schöne Ideen gehabt!

    Multiplayer - gut für die, die das haben wollen... Aber bitte optional, nicht verpflichtend! In dieser "finsteren, nuklear verwüsteten Welt" wirklen diese bunten Männchen mit beschissenen Hüten wirklich albern und töten die Spielatmosphäre komplett ab... Zumal sich nicht einmal die Mühe gemacht wird, die Server nach Sprachen zu sortieren. Mein erster Start behinhaltete Englisch, Spanisch und Deutsch - schon im Vault. Wahrschienlich waren sich die Leute gar nciht bewusst, dass man sie hören konnte - die Voice-Option ist ja standardmäßig auf Dauersendung, eine Rückmeldung gibt es nicht.
    Durch die Eigenschaft des Multiplayer kommen ja schon an sich einige "Zugeständnisse" mit... Es gibt keinen Pause-Modus, der Respawn ist ständig kurz gehalten - es spawnen permanent Mobs um einen herum... Dabei wird nicht darauf geachtet, ob gerade Spieler im Gebiet sind oder nicht. Ich hatte es inzwischen häufiger, dass ich mich durch ein Gebiet nach vorne kämpfe und plötzlich von hinten angegriffen werde...Durch die gleichen Mobs von eben oder sogar völlig andere, viel höherstufige. Durch die Online-Server fliegt man auch bei einer Internettrennung aus dem Spiel - und verliert dabei Items und Fortschritt von bis zu 5 Minuten - man respawnt nicht einmal am gleichen Ort sondern am Eingang des aktuellen Gebietes.
    Mir fällt spontan keine Neuerung zu Fallout 4 auf, dafür wurde aber enorm viel zugunsten des Multiplayers beschnitten. Ich denke, niemand spielt Fallout, weil es so unfassbar toill aussieht... Die Grafik ist alt und überholt - aber ok, wenn der Rest stimmt... Einige spielen wegen der Story - es gibt sie, sie ist aber viel dünner als bei Fallouot 4 - hauptsächlich wird das daran liegen, dass auf NPCs fast komplett verzichtet wird. Diese Idee ist nicht einmal schlecht und nachvollziehbar - aber dann muss die Welt eben viel erzählen. Die Audiologs, die man quasi als Hörbuch nebenbei bekommt sind eine grandiose Idee! Leider dauern sie immer nur 1-2 Minuten und kommen nicht unbedingt häufig vor. Also Story: So lala... Man könnte auch des Bauens wegen Spielen - hier leider ein ähnliches Prinzip wie früher - nur wieder stark beschnitten... Sammeln - leider nein, die Kiste umfasst nur 400kg... Die Welt ist so leer unde statisch, dass enorm schnell Langeweile aufkommt... Die Größe nützt da überhaupt nichts... 75% der Häuser sind nicht begehbar man kann kaum Türen öffnen, Dinge zerstören geht (so gut wie?) nirgendwo... DIe Automaten, Fenster, Schilder und Geräte machen nicht mal ein Geräusch wenn man dagegen schießt...

    Alles in allem ist Fallout 76 vielleicht Fallout 4 Lite - auf keinen Fall das Geld für einen Vollpreistitel wert! Nach etwa 1-2 Stunden kommt das erste mal enorme Langeweile auf, wenn man sie unterdrückt, schafft man vielleicht noch etwas länger.

    Schade um das Spiel, das Geld, die Zeit und die Vorfreude!    … Expand

It's a pretty bizarre feeling when you try to immerse yourself in a world of long awaited game but the game doesn't allow you to.
    From exiting uninspired vault 76 to late high level areas of the map, game falls short in presentation, atmosphere and most sadly gameplay. Yes, the exploration is still there, and in most basic way it still feels like a Fallout, but all of the other aspects are disturbingly lacking.
    The story feels gutted and 80% of the quests are fetch quests or killing mobs in a location. In time it becomes obvious that despite the setting, you're doing the same two-three things over and over again, and it becomes dull and repetitive. Without npc's the world feels empty and generic and your journey in it feels the same - pointless and insignificant. Logs and quest goals that read about people you'll never see become annoying in time, and you, without a hitch predict that in the end of it all you'll find a robot or a dead body, There are few good quest, but they only remind you how dull are all of the rest and what possibilities this game could have.
    Playing with friends mostly solves this problem, but not the rest. That is if you are relatively same level and didn't already finished quest that your buddy didn't. If you're in the same area of the map have comparatively same playing time. It's fun to run into a boss monster in the woods and have a long fight together just to find that your reward is level locked, your guns and armor are broken and you ran out of stimpacs.
    Managing your inventory is a chore. You'll find yourself building your camp so often to throw all unusable high level stuff in to the box that have a limit that will force you to question yourself what do you hold in it except materials that you desperately need to repair your gear and craft ammo for the guns that you have to use, not want to use. Selling all this stuff is pointless, because trading in this game is useless - you get 12 caps most for some rare loot - the same you spend on fast travelling to the other area of the map. Disassembling your gear is pointless too because you can't build anything useful without perks which forces you to the same character build that everyone else have, so in the end you just throw your loot away, searching for the particular things, again not because you want to, but because you need to.
    You don't need to build your base, because nothing interesting happens near your base, you just take your base with you, because of a stash. You want to create a fun character build? Well, you need more inventory space and loot from behind locked containers too, so that's that. You want to fight interesting enemy? You'll fight generic 5 types of mobs that spawn from the ground near you and bosses that glitch out on the level design, for the loot that you don't need or can't use. In the end game progresses from sandbox tutorial to repetitive grind without a purpose.
    Is it fun for you? I don't know, but it weren't fun for me. But the saddest part is not that this game has dull mechanics, nonexistent story and an empty world, it's that this is a Fallout game. More than other this game is a disappointment. Playing this game I thought about what this game could be and never will be, and it makes me sad. Not angry, just sad. This is a one sad game.

    The Graphics are just a tiny little bit better than Fallout 4, so someone, who doesn't know the difference, could mistake it for Fallout 4.

    The Performance is mediocre at best. More than a few times i had freezes that lasted 1-2 seconds, which weren't game breaking but still very annoying and i think the problem is on Bethesda´s side, because the friend i was playing with, has a better pc than me and he also got those freezes. And even without them it always felt "rough" and "choppy", if that makes sense. One "good" Thing is, apart from the first loading screen, when you join a server (which takes ages) the loading times where ok.

    The gameplay is pretty much the same as in Fallout 4. V.A.T.S. has changed, because you can't freeze or slow down time in an online game. Now its just "press a button when the percentage is high enough". You can still target different body parts, but because the time doesn't slow down, you have hardly any time to choose properly and so i just shot normally, which is also not precise. So many times I had an enemy in my crosshair and the shot would miss.

    The building aspect isn't thought out well. The controls feel a bit better in comparison to Fallout 4, but the whole system is buggy as hell. You now have a camp, that you can pull out of your pocket via pip-boy and theoretically you can place it everywhere except for existing locations. The problem is, that if you log out and come back the next day or so, your camp could be gone. Because when you log on to a server and someone else put his camp on or around the location of your camp, your camp is gone. Everything you built should be stored, but that doesn't work. My builds ended up in pieces in the "stored"-tab instead of one House and that happened even after Bethesda fixed it allegedly. Some stuff even disappeared completely and even if, by some miracle, my build was stored as one, i couldn't built it on the same spot, because the placing of stuff is still as sensitive and restricted as in Fallout 4, if not even worse.

    And the biggest problem for me is the story. Or more precisely, the lack of it. You still get quests, of course, but now you get them from robots with no personality other than being a robot or , sometimes, when you're just near the area of a quest. Most of the quests are simple "go there and do that"-tasks without a big story behind them. The environmental storytelling is still there, but i feel like even that is not as good as in other Fallout games. Now you find a lot (and i mean a LOT) of notes and audio logs, that tell the story. But while you listen to one audio log you find 3 more and when you pick up audio logs from dead bodies or out of containers, the current tape you listening to, stops automatically for the new tape to play. And there is no way to play an audio log from where you left off. you have to listen from the beginning. With Tapes, that can last a few minutes, this is so annoying. And because this is an online game, you cant pause to focus on a tape. So while you listen to it, you have to keep fighting enemies and talk with other players. Maybe someone with perfect multitasking can do it, but im not that one.

    And of course there are the typical bugs and problems, that come with a Bethesda game. I myself was lucky enough to not get a game breaking bug. But the good old ones like physics freaking out, enemies in T-position, audio cut-offs when a "npc" is talking, there still here plus some new ones that are online-only. For one Quest i needed to kill an enemy, but the problem was, that other players had already killed this enemy and it didn't respawn! So i had to switch servers several times (which meant i had to wait every time through the long loading screen) just to find him dead again and again until i found a server, where i was the first to get to the enemy. This is not acceptable for an online game!

    Fallout 76 is just a copy-paste job to make some more money from the Fallout Franchise. Its not thought through well and it just feels like Fallout 4: Online. With Fallout 4 i said "Its a good game, but not a good Fallout game" With Fallout 76 i can't even say this. Maybe, if Bethesda keeps patching and improving it, the game could become OK and playable. But for now i'm gonna treat it like a certain Indiana Jones movie about some aliens, that never existed and fill my fallout needs with Fallout 2!    … Expand

    The quests are all lazy and the game design itself is lack luster with random holes in the map and floating foliage and rocks. the idea of the game is very interesting but if this game is to be taken seriously it will most certainly need to have a lot of work put in.

    i have not experienced any game breaking bugs in game all of the bugs i have suffered are directly tied into the launcher they have developed. the launcher works poorly at the best of times and at the worst of times it just doesn't even work at all, it doesn't launch it doesn't download properly and frankly they should have just left the launcher to the people who know what they are doing with it and just bit the bullet for steam.

    The PVP in this game is just as well completely pointless it would have been perfectly acceptable to just not include pvp at all and simply give us much more cooperative content plenty of mmos have succeeded without pvp and i feel like if it must be like this then pvp is just entirely unnecessary. a possible way to at least simulate it is you could handle it similar to how you handled settlement attacks in fallout 4 a large group could attack a fellow player and rewards could be offered to people who pop by to help out.

    the game has potential and it disappoints me to see it in a state like this and be marked as released, this game feels and looks like an early access game in the vain of no mans sky and we all know how much of a fiasco that was. i sincerely hope Bethesda learns from this especially with this amount of community outcry.

    All that said i will admit that i have had a fair amount of fun in the world especially when i am playing with my friends the building is certainly a little better done then in fallout 4 but unfortunately this game is one step forward and 5 steps back. i will play the game but i can see this game get very boring very quickly.    … Expand

I'm talking about workshops and not the stupid CAMP.

    I only use the camp to build a stash and a crafting station because I AM CONSTANTLY OVERENCUMBERED! You constantly and I do mean constantly need to work on your inventory, I enter a small building which is not even marked on the map and when I leave I need 15 minutes to sort everything out. This had no relation to fun on roleplaying or anything, this is just atrocious. I only have 4 weapons which none of them are heavy machine guns or missile launchers and still I'm getting pawned my the carry capacity. My stash is also full now and before you start - All my junk is scrapped before moving it and I only have 3 power armor frames stashed.

    I have encountered 3 broken quests at this time (which is no more than 15 hours playing) - "Bureau of Tourism" which I have a link to a video capture I've made and the "Ounce of Prevention" quest where I literally have a floating quest marker which leads nowhere in between the two houses at Greg’s Mine Supply, unfortunately I didn't capture this one but you get the point. While Reddit were giving me the 24 hours of authentication time, I found another broken quest "Initiate of Mysteries" which I linked to a video I uploaded to YouTube.

    Enemies popping into existence out of nowhere - Happened to me so many times I don't even know what to say! You finish ridding the world of critters or ghouls or scorched and while I'm exploring the place, they respawn, I mean pop in right on top of me! Same level! Same loot! Same everything!

    Quests that just force themselves on my screen constantly! I just walk past some place and somehow my character knows to go in and look for something? Fine. But I DO NOT want that in my face on the HUD immediately, plus it produces a quest marker which confuses the f*** out of me and I've walked in the wrong direction before realizing my mistake too many times!

    And lastly, the world feels so empty and lifeless, I've never been so bored of first impressions! I literally forced myself to play 5 hours just now, and from crafting bench to stash box to broken quests to lifeless quest givers (If any at all) - I gotta say I've NEVER BEEN MORE DISAPPOINTED IN MY LIFE!

    Story
    Remember the previous Fallout that had engaging dialogue and rich backstories for people and places?
    Very little of that is present in this game. The main storyline can literally be summarized in one sentence:
    *** SPOILER ***
    The vault is open, yay! Go explore.
    *** END SPOILER ***
    That's right. The whole story of the game is that the vault opened and you go explore with your fellow vault dwellers, all of them played by other players.
    There are no companions and no NPCs with which you can engage dialogue. There are some NPCs (all robots, all humans, except for other players are dead, apparently) that have ~5 lines of text they randomly blurt out.

    Quests are all given by 1) holotapes from dead people (which can all be summarized as "I found this cool place, I'll mark it on the map. Oh no, I'm attacked! Aaah!" and you get your next quest marker to the allegedly cool place where you find yet another holotape and a dead body. Rince and repeat.
    2) Terminals you read. The storylines boil down to the same as 1).
    3) A robot that says a few lines.
    4) Random world events. Either defend a certain place or fend off a horde of enemies.

    Gameplay:
    I can only sum this up as a bug-ridden grindfest.
    Where previous fallout games actually made you feel like you had to scavenge what you could to make weapons or to rebuild, Bethesda has taken the fun out of this. In about 10 levels worth of playtime you will literally be swimming in scrap and ammo. But we can make cool weapons from this, right? While it is true that you can craft more weapons than any other Fallout game, don't get your hopes up. You can only store up to 600 lbs of gear. Make an awesome modded shotgun that you want to save for later? That's 20 lbs. Found a missle launcher? also 20 lbs. Rockets and mini nukes are also heavy, and before you know it, you spend literally hours and hours of storage management.

    You can also build your own camp. This is severely buggy at the moment. Your camp has a 'budget' toward what you can build and this is coupled to your storage. It is also contains so many bugs that it's also impossible to use. These include, but by far are not limited to: the game thinks I'm placing an item outside of my camp, while I'm placing it inside my house, corn being endlessly duplicated in my stash up to the 1000s of corn - no, this does not give you endless amounts of money, as you can only trade 200 caps every few hours, graphics glitches, and so on.

    Perks come in the way of cards. This seemed nice to me on paper; building your own deck of perks to fit your playstyle. It sucks big time in the game, however. Be prepared to put every point for the first 10 levels in strength and agility, for cards that decrease the weight of stuff by limited amounts. After that prepare to pick crafting, lockpicking and hacking cards for the next 10 levels.

    Inventory management is horrible in this game. Since you will have an abundance on resources, the weight limt is 'severely' limited (about 800lbs of combined inventory and storage), there is a limit on how much you can trade (more on that later), prepare to spend much time looking at your pipboy and dropping stuff by the hundreds.
    For some reason, Bethesda keeps using the same, poorly designed menus for their games. Ever since Morrowind, UI mods have been among the most downloaded for 'every' game. Yet they refuse to improve the menus. Since mods are not available for this game, this is a is really annoying.

    Multiplayer
    But wait, isn't that good, other players? So that we can roleplay? I thought this had potential at first too. Boy, was I wrong.
    The only interaction with other players you can have are a selection of ~10 emotes and team speak. That's it. Also, the game implicitly encourages to play on your own, as XP is given if you hit a target before it is killed. If you have a sniper in your party who one-shots everything, good luck leveling.

    There is a trade system. It is only possible to sell items for up to 600 caps per 24 hours to NPCs 'to encourage trading with other players'. Since everyone gets exactly the same semi-leveled loot, there is absolutely no trading taking place between players, since the same few resources are scarce for everyone.

    And last, but not least:
    There are micro transactions in the game. Yes, you read that right. You get points for every achievement with which you can purchase style items. These can also be bought with real money. This, to me, is unacceptable in a game I paid 50 bucks for.

    Overall
    Stay far away from this game, even if you are a die-hard Fallout fan. The game has too many poorly chosen design and gameplay concepts.    … Expand

    There is no story to me at the first place I have to learn all those stories via holotapes make me have no involved feeling at all, I can just keep that tape playing in the background and walking around in game or go to my kitchen and get some food or go to the bathroom, in real life and the mission icon will update anyways after the tape finished playing itself. I really want to know the stories but this holo tape thing? Not working for me. I'd rather starring at somebody on my screen then this boring sheit.
    I start to miss the raiders I met randomly back in Fallout 4, although they will shoot me on sight every time, at least they can make me felt like I'm alive in that world and definitely not alone.
    During the beta, and after the game launched. All we do are just wondering around collecting junks scrapped them in the base workshop and going out for more junks...or farming those events over and over and over again just to get some maybe better loot and stuff.
    The traders only have 200 caps per faction per day, so I always found that I got sheit to sell but the trader has no more money at all to make the trade going... so I have to bring those sheit and all those junk I found with me and going over my carrying weight limit and not able to fast travel or run anymore...
    Finally, after I arrived my base, I tried to put all those junk in my statch cuz I need them to repair my weapons/armor and things like that; but guess what I do not have any bloody room in my statch anymore...
    After 3 days of this loop, I just start to feel bored on this game.
    PVP is kinda fooked right now if you shoot somebody much higher level than you by accident, it then will totally be up to them if they want to kill you and get all your sheit or not. It happened so many times for me in the nuked zone where I was shooting at NPCs and that dude just jumped straight in front of me and I become the bad guy then he one tapped me and isn't nuked zone supposed to be a PVE zone?
    I am done with Fallout 76, I had hope on you; but you just give it all up. Good bye

    After all, I do NOT recommend you buying this game; at least not now...    … Expand

And those assets felt dated even when they came out originally. Mods are not allowed, it is insanely buggy, VATS simply doesn't work in real-time, major server issues, and predatory micro transactions. And to top it all there are no NPC's. Which means no story! The story was a huge staple of this franchise! Its just flat out boring and a huge waste of your money. Help Bethesda learn by voting with your wallets and make your self heard. I sincerely hope they will learn from this so the Fallout franchise can get a release that it truly deserves… Expand

    Fallout 76 is probably the most singly disappointing game I have ever played in my life. I've been fantasizing about this level of immersion put into a game since the days of the original Fallout. So much so, that I even built a brand new computer JUST to play this game (and yes I know how to build my own box).

Server DC and framerate drop. Whats the use of a beta if they dont have both the time and the will to fix the problems before launch. Telling us that we will rebuild America with a 400 lb storage was so stupid. So much time wasted managing the ridiculous storage. The missions delevered by terminals and robots are mostly boring. It probably happened the same thing to the story than to the NPCs: Nothing because it will be to long to implement it and they needed to focus on the ''Holy Release Date''. I bet that the true creators of the Fallout universe are probably mad because someone dnt give them the time they needed to complete the work properly. Endgame is even more boring and grindy. Often no loot because of bugs, at is summum when happens with the endboss! The brightness of the game is aggressive for the eyes and no setting to adjust it... No more special points after level 50 so for the last difficulty gap you need 2 shots weapon not to die in endless grindy shooting of bulletsponges ennemies. And you know what? Facing the lack of centent, they had the idea to nurf the only weapons type that get the job done. So instead of adding content, they found a way to make the content that we already have longer and annoying. There should be a Law to force games studios to do the job properly because they cant alone its a scandal. I preordered the game because i had faith in Bethesda. The lesson is that a release date is more important than the quality of a product! Bethesda dont give a .... that we paid full price to play a unfinished product with a highly degradated experience! Huge Betrayal of the fanbase! Dont buy this, they really dont deserve your money! Shame on you Bethesda! My trust was misplaced, now i know!… Expand

    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]
