    Your are bastards. Stop making this crap, Bethesda, just stop.
    This is the worst game I've ever seen. Nothing will save this game, because the idea itself was crappy. Grant franchise rights to the creators of Fallout. Then, perhaps, you will not be hated so much as now. Or, at least let the creators of Fallout do the next part. The Fallout New Vegas was a really great game.

    Играю ну вроде бы съел оплевуху, но когда распробовал это гэ на вкус, опля, не чего не изменилось и стало хуже. Я просто вставлю то что писал на форуме в беседы.
    1) Вместилище хранения, не соглашусь 400 это трындец как мало, требую анлим. Я хочу хранить разобранные ресурсы, по тому что то они не нужны то их надо валом. Я не могу хранить оружие выбитое на 25-30-40-50 лвл не могу. а хочу!!
    2) Продать хотел продать яко бы то что мне не надо, на самом деле бусты я пока не пользуюсь, а когда пойду по крытым мобам буду. Хотел насобирать фиг, пошел продавать, а у продавца денег нет. Думаю дай я что нибудь куплю купил на 100 крышек, а у продавца только дошло 25, крутые налоги. Продавцы имбо и подсветка известных рецептов, просто необходима!!!
    3) Монстры, меня убивают на локации, в одном месте, в одном квадрате, 9-15-22-40-45-50-58 Вы что издеваетесь? на меня бежала 2-ва зомби 58 и еще один светящийся потом 58 да я получаю с них по 300 опыта круто, но епт. Вы вообще?
    4) Ремонт, ремонт брони стоит дороже чем сделать и грейдануть заново, имбо.
    5) Система управления на клаве + мышка.
    6) Повторно берем пупсов
    7) Система развитий карточек, прикольная и реализованная в других местах. Но когда епт все хлам у тебя тупо нету этих карт, и ты забиваешь хоть чем то, даже если тебе это не упало.
    8) Балан оружие, тут я про молчу. когда 10 уровень мощнее 20, а еще одно и то же оружие но разного уровня, это просто божественно. (оба грейдел с дефолтной версии, самой галимой) обычное ружье 10 уровня урон 71, 20 уровня урон 70 (как) все модули одинаковые, некоторые только рукоять другая (на урон не влияли и прицел другой поставил)
    9) Игра просто раздражает. То что нравилось в Fallout 4 убито, порезано.
    10) Система VATS говно
    11) Захват точек, к черту не упал, вышел, зашел пустая точка, не кем не занята и не тобой тоже по 100 раз строить не вижу смысла.
    12) Бюджет строительства, лимит на постройки, хоть бы толкова объяснили как увеличивается и тд тп.
    13) Пропадающий CAMP.
    14) Вытикает из 13-го Да вернуть не проблема за одно и бесплатно, только вот даже на ровной поверхности не факт, что поставишь схему заново, не говоря уже о том, что бы восстановить на том же участке (где была неровность) Сколько крышек просрал    … Expand

    Bethesda's made unplayable game and ruined fallout franchise

    It's the empty game, you have nothing to do here. of course you can try to kill some other players with your friends, but that's all you can do, After few days of playing i closed the game and i'll never launch it again

    This game is the near equivalent of GTA online, without the expansive campaign mode. All of the bugs and monotonous loot hunts aside, the biggest thing missing was the obvious lack of NPCs. Bethesda's decision to remove non player characters and their storylines, quirks, and all other attributes that add to a rich atmosphere are lost, to be replaced by the occasional run in with another real world person that may or may not care about your existence. But unlike Rockstar's GTA V, where they first released a full campaign, then a bit later released their moneymaker online mode, Bethesda tried to capitalize on this by combining the two, leaving us with a half made single player game and a half made multiplayer game, which don't combine to create a full experience.

    Online only, no NPC, micro transactions, lag, bugs and glitches left and right. Absolute mess of a game in all fronts that don't deserve to carry the Fallout brand.
    Avoid at all costs. Vote with your wallet.
    This is not a real Fallout game.

    Fallout 1 and 2 were amazing. Fallout 3 was strange but ok. Fallout NV gave some hope for this game series. Fallout 4 was boring as hell and had a weak story. But Fallout 76 it's something. Something bad. Really really bad.

    The world looks nice and it is fun exploring.
    Weapons handling is pretty good and reaction times are fair.
    Strangely reminiscent of fallen earth for some reason.

    The Cons:
    No NPCs and no real story arc. If anything just having some people still around would make the world seem more realistic, but all you see are enemies no one wants to talk or offer trades even little things like do you have extra rad away? Nope if it is AI it is there to be killed nothing more.

    What little tidbits of story you do get are in holo tapes and notes.

    Very few players online and when they are online they generally stay away from each other. Although I did have a visitor come to my home one day Lemonz or something like that they gave me some radaway and rad-x and then they left... there was no other real interaction between players that I have seen.

    Mobs are easy to kill. There isn't much of a challenge in the enemies (I haven't seen the entire map so this may change). They vary between HPs like a tank or 1-2 shot kills.

    Your fast melee attack is bound to the same key as throw a grenade for some odd reason.

    Other thoughts:
    I came across some dude and some chick talking while killing stuff I thought to myself what a perfect time to stay hidden and eavesdrop. Yea.... that was a highlight of the game play. I also followed a guy into an instance once. He somehow pulled the entire instance on us every living thing was on us in a matter of seconds. It was a hard fight we both died, but only because the aggro was really weird. Either the quest pointers aren't clear enough or the event quests are glitched in some areas, because I spent a good hour if not more running in circles looking for something I could actually hit 'e' on at the power plant. Steam leaking from pipes? Yup, but they are not repairable.... Glitchy .... This game in it's current state is lacking a lot of polish. I think they might be able to do something with it, but there will need to be a lot of work done to the world to make it feel more like a fallout game.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I went into this game expecting a good multiplayer and story based game, but after 80 hours of play and being level 76 the game has become boring with little content after you finish the main quest and the main quest is worse the the story of tactics and bos with the main quest not even having an ending, the few npcs like rose and modus become nothing but background characters after you finish their quest. The maintenance systems are more hassle then anything, when your gun breaks mid quest and have nothing else you just have to give up and waste time. Most of the assets from 4 are just ripped out of it and slapped onto 4 from far harbor to nuke world, even the buildings from 4 are slapped into 76
    The good things about this game are less often then the bad things but playing with friends in a beautiful environment but other then that the game is highly mediocre and not worth 60$    … Expand

    First, the game crashes every time I try to quit it, which is way more often than I have on any other Fallout game. Second, the main quests are at best buggy and at worst, game breaking. It looks terrible and I can't even run it on a decent quality on my gaming laptop when every other AAA title runs just fine at high or better.

    The game of the beginning of the 2000s is trying to sell today as a new, revolutionary product. In the game there are no normal animation, physics, graphics. Very scanty, monotonous filling of the world. Even maiden, indie games made by one person on the knee now look better and it is more interesting to play them.

    The game is an empty broken shell of Fallout 4 - dated graphics (dated even by 2008 standards), astonishing bugs, and worst of all - no story, no purpose, no reason to play. The game doesn't even feel like a new game - it feels like someone tried to create a mod to Fallout 4 and abandoned the idea after 30 minutes of trying.

    I found myself wandering through the wasteland and towards the end of the 4 or so hours I played, had to stop and ask myself "when does this game actually get fun?".

    60$ Fallout 4 mod, with less content, no NPCs and more bugs than free mods.
    The game feels like a Rust copy with slightly better graphics.

    Nice map though (when you're not clipping through it).

To me, the characters are what made Fallout, Fallout. In this game, the world doesn't feel alive, despite all the other players running around. There are no characters to talk to, to hear stories from. No humans to give you quests that have an actual meaning to them. All quests in this game are given by robots, which takes away the feeling that you are doing the quest to help a person. All the quests are repetitive fetch quests or escort missions. All in all, this game is a huge letdown that feels very empty and incomplete. I do not recommend this game until Bethesda adds mod support and private servers that allow you to up the player count to at least 64. Then, maybe, there will be some possibility for roleplay, which may or may not make the experience any better.… Expand

    A truly disappointing entry into the fallout series. Bethesda misread their formula and added all of the wrong ingredients. While the idea of a multiplayer fallout game initially intrigued me quite a bit, there is just far too much wrong with this game to give it any kind of endorsement.

Bethesda misread their formula and added all of the wrong ingredients. While the idea of a multiplayer fallout game initially intrigued me quite a bit, there is just far too much wrong with this game to give it any kind of endorsement.

    Multiplayer – The multiplayer aspect of this game almost feels like an afterthought with how bad it is. Bethesda usually nails single player games but their formula does not adopt very well to the multiplayer stage. The game tries to straddle the line between single-player and multi-player without really committing to either. This ends up one of the biggest issues with the game as it was marketed specifically as a multiplayer fallout, so when one of the biggest features falls flat, it really impacts the game across the board. Other players basically have no reason to interact with you at any point. PvP combat with other players is a joke, with no consequence and no real sense of danger from seeing other players. Someone can walk right up to you and empty an entire magazine into you for little to no damage, something easily ignored even in the middle of combat. Questing with others is also pointless as every member of the party needs to separately complete each objective without the option to share any sort of progress. I can see what Bethesda was shooting for when they attempted to make this multiplayer instead of focusing on single player but they clearly missed the mark.

    Combat – Combat feels sluggish and unresponsive, which is only made worse by the neutered VATS system. Without the ability to use VATS in any meaningful way, Fallout 76 has to rely on its shooter mechanics which fall noticeably short of the bar set by other games. Bullets often seem more like nerf darts and melee can be like wading through syrup at times.

    Perks – The perk system now feels exactly like a loot box, which I hope is just an accident on Bethesda’s part. Rather than having any sort of control over how your character specializes, the random nature of the new perk system basically forces players to just cross their fingers and hope that they get a somewhat decent collection of perk cards. Choice is almost completely ignored until much later levels where the player will have eventually acquired the majority of the perk cards.

    Crafting – Crafting also feels largely neutered and useless. With many weapon customization options seemingly missing from the game and no support coming from the community any time soon, this feels like a clear step backwards for no reason. Bethesda already had a working system in fallout 4 that they could and should have improved upon rather than dropping the ball as they have.

    Exploration/Questing – While the map does look big at a glance, the world feels strangely empty due to the lack of NPC hubs and quest givers. It feels like quite a few assets were taken directly from Fallout 4 as the world seems almost too familiar at times. Most quests devolve rather quickly into fetch quests or kill quests which is a disappointing direction for the franchise. Some of the new locations do look impressive but the world itself only looks good the first few times through an area, after that they rapidly grow monotonous as the same enemies spawn each time you wander nearby. Questing lacks any sort of mystery as the outcome of most quests in known right from the start.

    Micro Transactions –One of the most polished aspects of the game seems to be the Atom shop. This is just the next poor choice in a series of bad decisions made by Bethesda regarding monetization. Given their most recent failures with the monetization of mods and the failure that was the creation club in Skyrim and Fallout 4, I can’t say I’m surprised to see them try this again, although it is disappointing to see them resort to this level of greed. What content is present in the shop feels like a joke with how simple it is and that’s not even factoring in the heinous prices attached.

    I feel that Bethesda missed the mark pretty much across the board with this entry into the Fallout franchise. Their excessive focus on wringing more money out of their players is starting to become an irritating trend and the lack of work put into this game is almost a slap in the face for their dedicated fans. It feels more like the Bethesda accountant made all the creative decisions behind this game which is a shame considering how well received their other titles have been. They had a winning formula they outright ignored in what seems like a quick cash grab. I understand that not everyone will agree with what I’ve written, but I’ve played quite a few Bethesda games now, and this feels like a serious departure from their past successes.    … Expand

    This game is neither terrible enough to deserve a 0, nor is it anywhere near good enough to deserve a 10.

    Put simply, it's Fallout 4 in a far-less apocalyptic setting, where you have no relationship of any kind with in-world characters. It's basically the experience you get when you wander ruins in FO4, which is fine in moderation, but it gets really old when it's the only experience    This game is neither terrible enough to deserve a 0, nor is it anywhere near good enough to deserve a 10.

    Put simply, it's Fallout 4 in a far-less apocalyptic setting, where you have no relationship of any kind with in-world characters. It's basically the experience you get when you wander ruins in FO4, which is fine in moderation, but it gets really old when it's the only experience available.

    Everything is holotapes, fetch quests, killing anonymous NPCs, and finding people's corpses. Everything.

    Worse, the tech in the game is barely upgraded from Fallout 4, which is a serious problem when you consider that Fallout 4 itself was technologically dated, not to mention very buggy.

    Worse still, most of the well-known bugs in Fallout 4 persist in this brand new game, except this time, we can't mod them out when Bethesda is too lazy to do it themselves.

    Worst of all, many of these bugs blend in with an extremely-naive server/client architecture that will see people exploiting the game, cheating and griefing to their heart's contents, because almost no forethought seems to have been put into the idea that the client is enemy territory and you must not trust anything coming from it. Instead, almost all game state appears to be done client-side and synchronized periodically with the server via "checkpoints", which appear simply to be savegames sent to the server instead of the hard drive.

    This game is a horrendous mess in terms of technology, and the hubris of Bethesda in thinking they could push out yet another barely-modded version of their engine into an ONLINE MULTIPLAYER space without having to put actual work into it is just mind-boggling to me. That's all to say nothing of their stubborn refusal to admit that PC players don't all have 16:9 1080p displays.

    Speaking of multiplayer, the ludicrous choice to ship on PC with always-on voice chat, rather than push-to-talk, is a staggeringly-bad idea. Unlike console players, a lot of PC players use built-in mics, not clever directional mics on their headset that live two inches from the player's mouth, so you'll be walking around your wasteland hearing people eat, argue, watch TV, constantly clack their mechanical keyboards, etc., and it will utterly ruin your immersion.

    Also speaking of multiplayer, the PvP has been utterly gutted. For me, a PvE fan, it's not a big deal, but if you're a PvP fan, save your money, it's just going to be frustrating and boring. The game should have shipped with a per-character flag, set during creation, that would shuffle you to one or the other set of servers, each with either a PvE ruleset or a PvP ruleset. This attempt to force the two together is totally built out of fail.

    Bethesda's response to almost all criticism is stubborn refusal to listen. There's a reddit thread where they "respond" to our "beta" feedback, requests, and criticism and it's almost entirely "yeah, we hear ya, but nah." The game's first patch, which was the full size of the original game by the way, has almost nothing worthy of mention.

    Oh, and lest I forget: the balance is all over the place. Sometimes, you can fight an enemy twice your level and it's a pushover, and sometimes you're the pushover fighting something your own level. I really feel like the game simply wasn't finished and they shipped it anyway. Given how short the "beta' was, I feel very strongly this was the case.

    The only upside here is that there's a little bit of Fallout lore to be discovered, and if you're a Fallout fan, then you want to discover that lore. Mind you, a lot of it seems to be convenient retcons and/or riddled with continuity errors that are just blatantly inappropriate for the time frame and location in the universe. Still, there's some fun to be had discovering the minimal story in the main quest and I'm okay with doing that.

    So yeah, it's a 4 from me. If you're a fan, get it some time if it's on deep sale and play the main quest for the lore. And hope that by then they've fixed the bugs. But it's Bethesda, and their track record of fixing bugs is almost non-existent, so... good luck with that.

    Bethesda should have simply made a co-op version of the original Fallout 4. That's what people actually wanted and asked for. Not this.    … Expand

My hope when Fallout 76 was announced was that it would play like Fallout 4 settlements, minus the NPCs, but with other players present.

    I'm hoping Bethesda will get Fallout 76 there someday, but as it stands, Fallout 76 has too many bugs, one being nearly game breaking. But lets start out with some positives:

    Fallout 76 looks nice. Its huge and there's great variety in the landscapes. There are lots and lots of quests, which seems to be one of better ways to get nice loot/gear. There are plenty of broken quests, but there are enough great ones so you can continue to the next and hope Bethesda patches them later. Fallout 76 also has tonnes of written and spoken flavor (in the form of holotapes), much like fallout 4. Perhaps even more.

    Here is where Fallout 76 takes a huge hit: this game has no NPCs, but the community is supposed to build CAMPS and settlements where a lot of cooperative game play happens. On live servers however, you never see other player's camps, and the camps, settlements and farms you laboriously build vanish randomly. This makes the social part of Fallout 76 extremely one sided. Group up, kill stuff. No civilization building here.

    Hopefully Bethesda has plans to fix this (God forbid this is functioning as designers intended!) Till then, 4/10 is the best I can give a single faceted multiplayer game.    … Expand

    Seriously Bethesda - quit making Fallout games.

    This horrible lackluster online adaptation of Fallout is horrible. Graphics - horrible in today's market of ray tracing and supreme visuals.

    Where is the story.. the interesting locations. Albeit there has been some thought from the location designers - you can see hint of what made Fallout fun in some of the backstories and locations, but where is the motivation to do cool things?

    Bethesda seriously - you were the **** when it came to making open worlds to explore and make your impact in which ever way you chose.

    I would list the problems with Fallout 76 in more detail but others here have hit upon most points I would make.

    Bethesda, you alienated your fan base with Fallout 76. I wish that people that could have actually impacted the game would have spoken up and said how bad this game is before it was released so that corrections could have been made. I would have rather had no Fallout game than Fallout 76.

    Okay so lets get this started. First and foremost I am giving this a four not that it may deserve it entirely, in fact a three would probably be fair but hey its Fallout and no matter what I **** with Fallout.

Truth be told this game is majorly lacking especially for a game in the Fallout world.

    1. NPC's or therefore the lack of any. There is just no life to this wasteland in 76, no settlers, no people, nothing but ghouls, robots, super mutants and obviously the scorched. It is literally a dead area with nothing but limited enemies, no bandits and few other players far an between. It majorly takes away from what made the Fallout series so good, and that is interacting with the settlers and kicking bandit ass.

    2. Caps. It is a major pain in the ass to get caps, the vendors in my opinion are a joke on top of a **** pile. They charge way too much, don't pay you **** for your goods and have a very low amount of caps to buy with. An once they run out of caps you literally have to wait for them to get more caps which is not worth the wait. Not even to mention that you literally have to pay caps to quick travel, like seriously, caps are a **** to get already and now we have to pay for quick travel?

    3. C.A.M.P Stash. This has to be one of my biggest peeves with this game. I am a hoarder, I like to collect everything and anything so I can craft and have a ready supply. The only small issue though or rather biggest issue is that your camp stash has literally no room for anything. I filled the damn thing up before beta even ended. An now I am stuck with the fact that my armor keeps breaking, my guns need repairing, I need to make stimps and everything else and I can't because I don't have anywhere to put my damn materials. I sure as hell can't carry the **** with me as I get over encumbered too quickly. Want a better review by a mile from me? Make the damn stash unlimited space like all Fallout games.

    4. I don't even need to mention the bugs, I feel like that has been established enough as it is. All games have bugs when they come out so I won't go into this deeply, but I would love when I killed something that it doesn't hump into the ground and I lose my ****.

    This could go on an on but I won't bore you. This game is really lacking what made Fallout so great. The story, the lore, the npcs, bandits, it has good features to it but they are being drowned out by the ****ty features. At this point your just going through the motions and getting annoyed at the same time because you can't keep enough materials on hand to keep your armor fixed and your guns ready.    … Expand

    If it weren't for Activision/Blizzard with the most jaw dropping, "hold my beer" moment in PC gaming with the whole Diablo to phone insult Bethesda would be center stage in the sh*t pit right now.    … Expand

    This games pretty fun but if i could not have to hunt down a custom ini file to turn off your awful motion blur and fix your FOV slider i'd say it's perfect, also as a side note for the love of god turn down your god rays it's like the Egyptian god Rhaa shining a flashlight in your eye.

    Perfect game, I'm having a lot of fun with it so far. Got lucky early on with a chameleon leather leg so I went full stealth agility/luck. Just solo'd a scorch beast last night, VATS + concentrated fire let me shoot out its wings then find a perch to snipe its face off while it was fighting off a horde of ghouls that came roaming by.

Just solo'd a scorch beast last night, VATS + concentrated fire let me shoot out its wings then find a perch to snipe its face off while it was fighting off a horde of ghouls that came roaming by.

    Everyone I've met has wanted to either trade, team up or pvp, I really thought the pvp would be a joke because of the nearly 0 damage thing but people seem to engage often with me. It has the best map I've seen from bethesda and the environmental storytelling stuff is great solo (not great in a team where you don't have as much time to just listen to tapes or sift through terminals).

    I love the survival mechanic and weight limit, I really enjoyed it when they added it to fallout 4 and I understand why people would be frustrated with it. The housing stuff is pretty cool too, I found a lead deposit in the ground near a raider train station up on a mountain top so I set up a bullet factory and have been making a killing selling bullets to new players.

    Now the game IS a buggy mess, most stuff is visual glitches which don't bother me too much, the real and biggest issue (I'm playing on ps4) automatic weapons cause stutter about 25% of the time? It seems to be the farther from the vault you are the worse it gets and this is honestly unacceptable. A few quests are bugged, I've crashed once in 30 hours, the game occasionally hitches when it loads a new area, sometimes grenades just fall through the floor if you aim straight down, and certain enemies like the grafton monster will just stop moving for some reason.

    The hate bandwagon is totally overblown, the game is decent, would be great if not buggy.    … Expand

    My mistake. So here I am on Metacritic creating an account to write a review about it.

    Fallout 76 is not like Fallout 1, 2, 3, New Vegas, 4, or even Tactics. There are no meaningful choices to make. Many of the quests appear to be randomly-generated repeats or mild variations with different scorched red things to fight. There are no characters. There are stories, but they're in the form of depressing audiotapes and looting corpses.

    The perks system is interesting. I really like the mechanics of opening packs and filling slots with different cards to create unique builds. Every new character would be a completely unique experience based on those random draws. Unfortunately, the system is constrained by multiplayer balance and why can't I lockpick, what was I training for in the vault my whole life, this should be an essential and basic skill known by every wunderkind in the vault... though some of the cards have funny pictures in the Fallout style.

    The graphics are also nice. Appalachia is presented well and the soundtrack was just starting to grow on me. I'd just stumbled across an interesting little shack in the woods when

    "Hey man, you want to join up to do some quests, easy gold!"

    Three voices start blaring out on the computer speakers, completely erasing the immersion of the Appalachian setting. I hadn't joined any party voice or set any public interaction settings. It was jarring especially when they started shooting at me after I didn't reply (wasn't wearing headphones).

    So I'm giving this version of Fallout a bad score. True, I shouldn't have spent money on it without checking what it really was first, or I would have waited for it to go on sale in a few months. Despite that leaving a bad taste in my mouth, the game is a disappointment and I hope future Fallout games don't follow the same route, and return to the engaging characters, moral dilemmas, and unique stories from the previous games. Instead random strangers shout at you and chase away any hope of immersive storytelling.    … Expand

    I should start this review off with stating that I'm not a fan of survival games at all so I came into F76 as a very skeptical person however that said, it's not an entirely terrible experience either.

    Pros: - Improved animations - Usual Bethesda environmental storytelling - Ability to run around wreaking all sorts of havoc with pals - A non pay-to-win cosmetics shop that with a    I should start this review off with stating that I'm not a fan of survival games at all so I came into F76 as a very skeptical person however that said, it's not an entirely terrible experience either.

    Pros:
    - Improved animations
    - Usual Bethesda environmental storytelling
    - Ability to run around wreaking all sorts of havoc with pals
    - A non pay-to-win cosmetics shop that with a currency that is extremely easy to obtain while playing the game (With the whole free DLC bit, I figured it'd be a royal pain to even get the currency but so far its pretty easy, a bit tedious at times but generally easy.)
    - Environment is really pretty - there are some places that are a bit breathtaking when looking around and viewing, great for screenshot potential and building a C.A.M.P
    - Base-building has been upgraded - It feels a lot more responsive compared to how FO4's base-building mechanic worked, parts snap easier and are easier to handle.

    Cons:
    - Random FPS drops (I've noticed it happening a bit more frequently but it could be attributed to my AV)
    - Soft-locks on workstations - Every now and then, I'll encounter a soft-lock on a workstation when trying to use it that requires me to end the process via task manager
    - Not enough graphical options - the graphical options you can toggle feel very limited currently and the player has to resort to an .ini tweak to be able to turn off motion blur.
    - Lack of meaningful PvP - as it stands PvP isn't even worth the time/attempt. Better off making a team and PvEing. If they alter it to allow Raider types and/or Faction-typed PvP, it'll be an improvement.
    - Engine's age is definitely starting to show - The engine(Creation Engine) has slowly started to become a hindrance to the game's true potential with the hiccups it has.

    Overall, I'd say the game's a solid 6, it's not great but not terrible, has plenty of room for improvement. If Bethesda works on it and provides a lot of great content additions, it could potentially become greater.

    Side note: Bethesda has confirmed they're looking into Push-to-Talk as well as an FoV slider and an increase to their stash limit so that wasn't listed as a con, it'd of been nice at launch but I cannot in my right mind fault them for having a messy launch for their first actual online experience.

    -- EDIT 11/27 --
    Reducing score to 4/10, dailies are causing a hard PC crash/lock which is making the game nearly unplayable as is. The bug/error only seems to happen on loading screens when fast traveling back to the objective.

    I was a fan of Bethesda, and the fallout titles before they were acquired. I'm one of the very old guard of these games, to the point where I've spent more time in the world playing or making mods, than most of the developers. As such, I've always been interested in why they take the direction they do in each new installment. After many hours in game, I simply cannot believe they had anything other than utter cynicism at heart when they produced this product. There were a million and one ways they could experiment with the title and multiplayer functionality, but the only reason I see that we could have ended up here is if they set out with the goal of making an incredible cheap and content devoid game for the purpose of recurrent monetisation.

    That's all this is. This is closer in terms of content, enjoyment, and I'd be willing to wager, development cost, to fallout shelter, than a mainline fallout game.

Even spending £30 on it makes me want to wince a little. The game is a schizophrenic jumble of poor design choices and a re-jigging of a game engine which ill-fits the tasks being asked of it.

    What do I mean?

    Take the size of the map for instance. Four times bigger should make a Fall Out fan squee with glee, and I did...to start with. All that extra land to traverse and find easter-eggs in? That sounded like heaven. And in places it is. Until that is you discover the fast travel costs caps...

    ...which would be fine if caps were readily available.
    ...which they're not because then it would impact on the survival aspect.
    ...because of the thirst and hunger bars needing to have some gameplay impact to warrant their inclusion.
    ...and you'd be able to buy the over-priced gear in the shops too easily.

    And a lack of caps would be fine if:

    ...four times the map size means you can spend five-ten minutes just trouncing around, and sometimes longer just to get to the next quest point.
    ...which would be fine if you didn't keep running into random encounters, slowing you down further.
    ...in larger groups than other Fallout games, because of y'know...multi-player?
    ...and ridiculously short respawn timers, because of y'know...multi-player?
    ...and that means cutting into your hunger and thirst bars.
    ...which in turn means an excessively large amount of busy bodywork just to get from point A to point B.

    I wish this was the exception to the rule, but this game design *is* the rule. Which is a real shame, because occasionally a side quest or a holo-tape recording is intriguing enough to lift it out of the put of mediocrity. Heck, going into flaming caves as a Fire Breather is actually visually stunning in places, but there's just never enough of it to justify the game overall.    … Expand
