    Отвратительная пародия на игры серии Fallout. На мой взгляд это даже не нормальная игра, а огрызок. Попытка "срубить" побольше денег на ещё живом бренде "Fallout".
    Что ещё сказать про эту игру?

    Fallout 76 is a Fallout fanatics dream. But much like Elder Scrolls Online, it was rushed and the execution was severely lacking.

    Being a Bethesda game, one can go into it assuming glitches and bugs galore. While it may not be GOOD to be known for it, it does speak towards the company's ability that millions of people have played their games despite the hiccups because the game is    Fallout 76 is a Fallout fanatics dream. But much like Elder Scrolls Online, it was rushed and the execution was severely lacking.

    Being a Bethesda game, one can go into it assuming glitches and bugs galore. While it may not be GOOD to be known for it, it does speak towards the company's ability that millions of people have played their games despite the hiccups because the game is engaging. Bethesda's removal of typical NPCs removes much of the charm of their Fallout games. Many people will remember their favorite characters from previous games, but that no longer exists here.

    Further plaguing this game is the infuriating UI. Fallout's UI has never been pleasant to use, but it typically is at least pragmatic. This game was clearly created with consoles in mind. The UI is built so that triggers and a small amount of buttons can be used to navigate menus. The problem is, when you hamstring a UI to use a small fraction of the available buttons, the user is left wondering WHY?

    Another item that bogs down the fun that could be had in this game is the servers. I haven't experienced lag like other reviewers, so I am more willing to think this is a combination of high load, poor connectivity, and performance that isn't actually lag related. My main gripe, is that you do not connect to the same server every time and you cannot choose which server you are connecting to. What does this mean for you, the player? Why bother claiming an outpost and building a massive base (while using massive resources) when the next time you connect, the world you built it in may not even be there? I experienced this first hand and I didn't even have to wait very long. I claimed a base and built a simple shack with turrets on it. Not wanting to die AFK, I disconnected for a few minutes to run to the bathroom. Post reconnecting, I found all of my work gone. The base was not claimed by another user, it was not destroyed, it just did not exist.

    Another point of frustration is the Social UI. It's a multiplayer game, so there is a Social tab so that you can play with your friends. But getting into the same team can be a huge task. I understand that this is Fallout's first multiplayer game, but there was clearly only very rudimentary testing done on this feature. In my first attempt to play with a single friend (not even a group of more than 2), we were unable to join parties because we both attempted to invite each other to a party. Fallout continued to say this was not possible because we were both already in a different party. It took a complete exiting of the program for both of us and a concerted orchestrated effort to get the party together.

    There are also still the myriad of glitches and bugs from general game play contend with after major gripes as well. Normally in single player Fallout installments, this can range from hilarious to frustrating. For a multiplayer installment, it ranges from frustrating to infuriating. The base game was $60, it was not worth $60. The beta should have told them exactly what they (should have) known, this was not ready for release. Laden with bugs that extend far beyond basic and performance that leaves users wanting.

    I have to sadly rate this game poorly. While it isn't a 0 or 1 like the salty reviewers might leave you to believe, this game is definitely one you should wait for huge sales on (this game is worth MAYBE $15-20). I love Bethesda and the Fallout series, but not even my love for the game can outweigh the mistakes that run plentiful in this installment.

    I also need to chastise Bethesda briefly. If all you were using the BETA for was play testing, fine. But the response you received from the BETA should have prompted you to ask "should we push back release in exchange for a better product?" We would all have shouted YES, PLEASE YES. I understand you have deadlines, there are investors and higher ups that demand results, and you just have internal time tables that require certain goals be met. But you failed. Horribly. And while the feeling may not be ubiquitous across the gaming community, I can guarantee you if you asked your player base if they wanted another ESO experience where they had to wait years for the game to be polished and enjoyable, they'd say no. You should have learned from ESO's mistakes and ensured you had a polished game before release. Now the player base will be tiny and what people will remember about this game is that it is terrible. Because first impressions last. You've relegated this game to maybe being picked up as a curiosity once it goes on mega-sale. You had better work fast in the next few weeks to snatch it from this label.    … Expand

    Why couldn't they just keep going and produce quality games like fallout new vegas or fallout 3? Also a reason for the low score is that it isn't available through steam

    A total money grab. Buggy and broken. Bethesda just re released the fallout 4 engine and skimped in every way possible (no NPC == less expenses). Looking at how Skyrim and Fallout 4 both have game breaking bugs known since their launches I do not expect this game to get much better. An absolute waste of money.

    First of all i wanna start by saying that i have a master as 3D Game Artist, and i have my own 3D Studio.

    For years i have been a big fan of Bethesda and most say that i am rather Shocked of their latest Release, and here is my list of the absolute Chaos i went through playing my 30 hours Fallout 76 - i started struggling with the resolution of the game i have a 37" Monitor, and when    First of all i wanna start by saying that i have a master as 3D Game Artist, and i have my own 3D Studio.

    For years i have been a big fan of Bethesda and most say that i am rather Shocked of their latest Release, and here is my list of the absolute Chaos i went through playing my 30 hours Fallout 76

    - i started struggling with the resolution of the game i have a 37" Monitor, and when i started the game it kept going to Borderless Window Mode with 1920x1080, when i was aiming for a Locked Fullscren mode with 2560x1600, it took me proberly and hour before it suddenly worked... What a start...

    While roaming through the first 45 min of the world, i met another player and we decided to run together to gain some experience killing things. We then encountered a pack of Mongrel dogs, and we started fighting these, and suddenly after i shot one of them, it went crazy (the ragdoll of the Mongrel i suppose it was) went to the air stretching across the whole map like something i have never seen before, just flying around, and after a while it happend to the rest of the pack, and it ended up killing us both because we could not hit them as they where stretching across the under the terrain, we were like, what in the bloody hell was that.. and this i just the top of the iceberg.

    so let me short it down alittle.

    - AI is stupid and buggy as hell, you can trap them easy in the environment and kill them.

    - Scorched Model and Animation is absolutely Hideous it looks and feels like something from a 2000 Game... COME ON!!!!!, and same goes to alot of the other creatures!

    - Environment Design is SOULLESS, it just feels like they had to finish this game in a hurry and had absolutely no love for the environment, i've seen better designers on youtube creating speed terrain designs in Unreal and Unity Engines.

    - Textures, ohh the textures.. in many areas i encountered Flickering Textures which was so amazingly annoying to look at and so low res, and also encountered the whole Skymap flickering to Black.

    - Environment props are the same as fallout 4 plus some new ones which looks horrible too.

    - Crazy Framerate drops obviously because of the lack of optimization...!!

    - Too much Terrain, huge lack of city / industrial environments.. West Virginia? No Virginia, fallout i think had a great variation the big City and the wasteland, this is just Bullsh*t..

    Bethesda just didn't do it this time, i am sorry and very sorry for all the people who had their hype up for this, what an absolutely disappointment, i do NOT recommend people paying for this.

    i only give them 2 in rating for the online part, which actually seem to work rather great, but nothing else worked this time, good luck bethesda cleaning up this mess.    … Expand

    I won't give it a 0, that's an insult to Bethesda, but I will be unbiased in saying this is not a good game. Game breaking bugs left and right, horrendous FPS, PC FPS cap, empty world that plays like a walking simulator. This isn't the Fallout fans fell in love with. It only appeals to a certain niche of gamers, and even then it doesn't have enough content to last very long in the current state.

However, it is exactly the same as Fallout 4 and, after playing games like Assassin's Creed Odyssey and Red Dead Redemption 2, this feels very antiquated. That said, there are a few things that made this game unplayable for me.

    The survival aspect is a complete nuisance. I felt like my game experience was constantly interrupted by starvation and dehydration. Frustrated, I took it upon myself to gather a ton of food and water so I could "survive" while exploring. Unfortunately, this filled up my inventory weight limit and I was unable to do any looting without becoming over encumbered. I'm sure there are strategies to balance looting with eating and drinking but I do not play Fallout games to learn how to juggle.

    The stash weight limit combined with a fee for fast travel caused inventory management to consume a large percentage of my play time. I like to loot everything until my inventory is full so I have plenty of crafting materials. Of course, my inventory filled up very quickly since I also grabbed all the food and water I could find. I needed to make several trips back to my C.A.M.P. to unload my junk. However, with the fee for fast travel, I often found my self running all the way back to where I was exploring. I reached my stash limit after only exploring a couple areas. Trying to make this work, I learned that junk needs to be scrapped before adding to the stash. This requires a crafting station which are few and far between if you don't have plans to craft one at your C.A.M.P. I eventually built crafting stations when I moved my C.A.M.P. to a new location which caused a whole new set of problems.

    I spent a couple hours building a C.A.M.P. in a new location. This revealed several problems. The terrain quickly became the most formidable adversary in the game. I was building on a hill near rocks and trees. I had to tear down and rebuild at least 20 times because pieces could not be placed near certain terrain. I finally just had to accept an incomplete building with missing walls or floors. After all this work the server kicked me out. After continuing the game in a new instance, my C.A.M.P. was gone and the entire structure was "stored". My C.A.M.P. location was no longer available, I had to pay to set up a new C.A.M.P., and I wasn't allowed to "place" my previous structure anywhere in my new location. I spent another couple hours building a new C.A.M.P. only to have that one gone the next time I played. This was enough for me to quit playing and ask for refund.

    Multiplayer did more harm than good. I was hoping for some sort of hybrid between Fallout 4 and Elder Scrolls Online. Unfortunately, multiplayer felt underdeveloped and very limited. I think Bethesda made the mistake of trying to slap a multiplayer mod into Fallout 4 rather than developing something new that combined the best of both worlds.

    I have seen counters against negative reviews using the shallow argument that criticism is just from "haters" afraid of change. I'm sure Bethesda is mature enough to recognize the irony in that line of thinking. I'm sure they will acknowledge the disappointment underlying the negative reviews and produce a much better product in the future.    … Expand

    The game can be extremely fun with friends (like most things). For the most part, the funniest things are usually bugs or glitches though which isnt a good sign. Exploration and the world on the other hand are amazing in my opinion. It is way more interesting and detailed and colorful than Fallout 4 was and so it gives sort of more insentive to look around and find cool places. I have to admit, F76 has some of the best looking areas in any Bethesda game to date. I have't explored the whole map yet so I cannot say if the game gets boring after that, but it certainly isn't that yet.

    I haven't played the main quests or really any quests for that matter, since they are not interesting at all. There are no memorable characters. Unless a roaming super mutant merchant or a 100th Mr Handy bot with the same exact voice is memorable to you. It really is you making your own story and fun which isn't really what Fallout has been nor what people want it to be.

    The technical side is a mess. Graphics to me do not look as bad as some people are saying but they're not good either. Animations are janky and outdated, lack of push to talk makes it so nobody is ever talking, game lags when loading things in (almost as badly as Subnautica for instance) and there is a lot of pop in in certain areas. Enemy AI is braindead for the most part and either run right at you or run away as fast as possible so you can't even hit them with VATS.

    Gunplay to me is also very outdated and takes some getting used to and I suppose it has its own charm to it but it could be way better. VATS seems fine to me, though I do only use it on enemy npcs and not other players. PVP is a complete mess. The system doesn't seem to know what it wants to be. I was being shot at and all I had to do was ignore it and not shoot back even though I was in someone elses base. The gunplay does not fit pvp at all and the hitboxes being weird in this game, I don't see a reason to do any PVP at all.

    Overall I do enjoy the game even if I don't want to. It could be a good game but Bethesda has taken a wrong way to go with the game. I do hope they fix the issues that are present in the game right now but knowing Bethesda that might not happen. I guess my final verdict is that the game is NOT worth 60 dollars but if you can get it somewhere cheaper, sure go for it. It can be fun    … Expand

The enemies are extremely easy to defeat and mostly they just stand in place and shoot, doing little damage. There is a VERY thin story that really is only there to get you to walk around. The events are "keep spawning bad guys until timer runs out." Your base is meaningless because people can't steal your stuff anyways. So what are you supposed to do in this game? I'm level 10 now and I honestly don't know. You can complete "go press a button on a computer terminal" and/or "kill enemies until the timer runs out" quests to gain experience then haul stuff back to your stash. That's basically it. With almost no plot, no NPCs, no penalty for dying, such a low difficulty to play, very little extremely casual PVP... I really don't see why anyone would put more than a few hours into this game. The point of the game really seems to be to explore the map and look at the pretty scenery. With no real in-game motivation to keep progressing, it almost feels like you would be better off running through all the areas without fighting anything so that you can see all the sights without having to waste time leveling up. I'm willing to give it a 3 for now, maybe it's just the beginning content that is bland but I really see no hope for this game getting better as I rank up.… Expand

That is how little work was done to fix the engine. If you want to see the OCD cleaning simulator, they by all means grab it at full price and hope that they sell enough copies to eventually add in all the missing content and fix the *amazing* array of bugs. It would also be nice if they can stop all the cheating that is already being noticed two days after launch. Just Google "Fallout 76 Nulear Codes" and you will see all Bethesda'a claims about nukes being limited and not overly useful for PvP, just became a lot less true. All because they implemented it in the laziest way possible that took one whole day to bypass.

    Fun Fact: They made a profit of $400m+ from Fallout 4, and now have a team size of 400 people. Apparently 85% are all level builders...    … Expand

    But let's be honest, Fallout 76 is a buggy mess which reminds me of DayZ version .01 bad. Half the quests have to be done 3 or 4 times to complete right, many times enemies are frozen in spot. New Vats feels like an afterthought.

    No Push to talk is retarded, absolutely the stupidest thing in any game online EVER, (will be fixed in time they say)

    No NPC's(where will they scream REEE now?) the lack of any rush or real connection like previous fallout games had is just a total show of how much Todd cares about the cash over making something to be proud of. If they are not DLC/Patched in this will be a total waste of a game.

    Last rant before the good, "Level Capped Weapons" Thinking back to my favorite fallout game being tactics (yah I'm that one guy :P) they had special locked games so you worked towards more strength or intelligence. but no Bethesda screws us with level capped gear, breaking any immersion. such a disappointment the faults.

    The good.
    -The community is awesome so many people wanted this to be their dream fallout so unlock the mods Bethesda before we all jump ship
    -Team play when it works is amazing, Taking down a DeathClaw pack with the wife and some friends was epic
    -lighting is nice, not great not awesome just nice
    -Card system is actually pretty cool
    -Camp is way better now
    -clothes and armor can be fun to mess around with

    there is so much more meh and bad I can say but I leave this to Bethesda, if you do not bring NPC's to this game and improve the glitches I will wait till another company picks up the pieces and makes their own fallout like game as it will be the last I buy from your studio

    Did you enjoy wandering about exploring in Fallout more the story stuff? I did not.

    As a PC gamer do you like the idea of playing a Bethesda that has no mod support. Nope!

    Do you like the idea of survival games such as Conan Exiles? I didn't know before I played this and now I'll probably never touch the likes of Conan Exiles.

    Do you like the idea of broken PvP that punishes both players? Obviously no.

This version feels very much like an abusive relationship & I honestly know from my past how these turn out for me. I really want to love this title and there are many things to love about it; the land is wonderful to look at but does not render when you zoom in on it. The structures you can build look nice and feel like they are yours but you are going to fight with the build system to make your structure. There are so many new things to find but no explanation is given on what the Mods do and most of them don't even state what item they mod or even how to mod your items... There are heaps of new creatures to encounter but they move in ways that just are not even close to realistic, sometimes not even moving their limbs but still able to easily "glide" after you. The lighting is wonderful unless you are seeing light rays shine through a mountain as the sun sets behind it or notice the glow of a light that does nothing to light up an area or just random light boxes that turn off or on because you are standing on one side of a doorway or other. The sounds are really nice and the environment sounds rich but then you look around to see the birds that are making noise and there are never any birds there are birdhouses that have been constructed around the place and even small setup where the time has been taken to show that someone was making and painting these birdhouses. And not just the missing birds but the radios that are spread around the towns are playing copyright music that gets your videos demonetised and you lose revenue because of this and you can't change the radios to music you may own the rights to because that just is not a function and the radios are tied directly into the "sound effects" so if you want to not get copyright strikes on your youtube you have to play the game with no sound effects.. Why is this even a thing? The map is massive and there is so much to explore and you hardly see anyone and that's really nice but if someone does walk into the area you are in every enemy respawns and you have to fight them all again and if that person is a higher level than you then good luck your about to get owned by all the enemies that will spawn in at their higher level.
    I really wanted to love this game and I got it the first day it was released but I just can't play it anymore. I am level 39 and I am hating the game. I fight with the build mechanics and bad menu system to make a base around the workbenches to have the server kick me and I lose all my resource I put into building my area up around the workbench. My building is never on any of the servers again. In the middle of a battle, the game pulls up my weapons wheel when I am in combat? I am told this happens to so many other players. I love the little things about the game but overall I hate this and if I was a first-time player I would never buy anything from Bethesda after this and I would want nothing to do with any of the Fallout titles. This game is just broken and each time I play it on a Friday I am finding I am hating it more and more. Fix your game Bethesda I know you rushed it out to get the Xmas dollars, now mostly only hackers are playing your game. Oh yeah, the issues with hackers are getting worse. Able to kill you even though you don't fight back to finish the PvP activation. 1 shot your dead? So much for a good time. I am so mad and sad about this I don't even have words to say how much this title upsets me without swearing in many combinations of filthy words. Someone or many people need to be fired due to this poorly rushed game release. The head of Bethesda should step down! On the other hand, some of the level designers should be promoted it's only because out for eye for details and design did I stick out the game for this long. Oh, and the microtransaction store can F right off! Never would I spend a cent more EVER! Don't buy this game unless you plan to let it sit uninstalled until 6 months or a year have passed so they have time to fix the game.

    I have played Fallout 76 for a reasonable amount of time, long enough to form my own opinion on it, and I'm not that positively overwhelmed, although I don't think the game is complete garbage.

    You can't really objectively rate a game, so all I can say is that I'm a huge fan of the Fallout series, with Fallout 4 being my favourite out of the bunch, so I'm simply more interested in the single-player aspect of these games. Fallout 76 doesn't offer that in the slightest, sure there are some quests you can do while playing on your own, but the game is truly meant to be played with a group of friends, which lies not in my field of interest, when it comes to fallout titles. Also there are lots of bugs, even still after one year, albeit not game-breaking and mostly of visual nature, it will throw some people off.

    Update for Wastelanders:
    I still don't think Fallout 76 comes close to the other Singleplayer Fallout games, but its gotten better over the recent updates. I still hate the multiplayer aspects, the game as a service-model, and the in-game microtransactions, though.

    Update for The Legendary Run:
    Well, they **** it up by introducing a genuine GAS aspect.

Oh and performance is a joke, I run it on a 2060 from nvidia, and it runs worst by moment than my old 390x from ati... I can play Fallout 4 with hundreds of mods and have no problem... It's the same engine, how can a game be so badly optimized ?

    Music/sounds : Well, since the launch with a good song, I was expecting something better... The radios are well... uninspired, the ambient soundtrack is poor and feel repetitive. The enemy sounds and weapons sounds are OK for the most part, but still strange... Sometimes silenced weapons sounds like normal ones, enemies sounds left or right but are just on the top floor... 3D sounds seems poorly integrated in the engine.

    Story : PWP ? Seriously, this game as a story ? For me the story stop at a bug, the same bug as in the B.E.T.A, I go to an objective, the game doesn't register me quitting a terminal... I'm done with this **** It's on the main quest, and it is still bugged more than a year after release... Reminds me of some guild in skyrim that does the same time to time...

    Stability : None, I tested the game today, and yesterday to see if it is any good now... Well, server seems to have less lag... But it's the only thing I can feel. I have the screen going black in random flashes time to time. I have like loading lag, object appearing from nowhere... Or best, enemies still spawning in my back, I can't do more than one or two objective before the enemies spawn back ! Oh and not forget the most important, I'm here because the game just "crash" no error message, nothing to tell me why, it just crashes...

    Does this game deserve salvation ? : I doubt that, events if they implement rushed npc, this game stability is less than good, 14 months after release... OK, maybe the most "glitchy" things are out, but... This is still less stable than Fallout 4 with more than one hundred mods... how can it be ? And yeah, the game looks old, for a second I feel like I was back five years ago, maybe more...    … Expand

Horrid lag and a laughable vats system, however, does the game get better over time? Sure, I'll admit, within a relative close render distance the land looks decent when it doesn't bug out, however the game has nothing much after you launch nukes.

    After a point, the only thing you will find yourself doing is going hunting for resources. While hunting, you hold hope of finding a better weapon. Break your current weapons and armor. Use the found resources to fix your equipment. Deposit Meds and food into the chest and repeat.

    With the horrific amount of bugs present in the game and everything we have seen, is there hope for a better game in the future? Honestly I am really skeptical due to Bethesdas bug history. Will they fix things over time? Sure, but seeing as how the community usually picks up the slack with mods, I don't see the game being that much better unless they somehow knock it out of the park.

    All in all it was a huge disappointment, and with all the controversy around thins game, it has easily become one of Bethesdas largest failures. Maybe if they add an offline mode after wastelanders? All I can say is we will see.    … Expand

F3 was good, FNV (interplay) was good, F4 was good, where did Bethesda go wrong? By not listening to the community and trying to shovel money offers into their community at an insane amount, more than EA. Wish you could hit a rewind button and go back to when Fallout had some glory left in it or some shred of story and character development. Fallout tactics is more Canon than this turd in a dress.

It makes me angry and sad what the company is becoming. I just want to play a single player RPG that is fallout and not asking me to pay more money to enjoy it better. I'm ok with paying for FINISHED DLCs for single player games. Hell I liked the concept of creation club because I thought we would see some DLC size mods but that was a lie to. I want fallout back. I want single player games back. I want to not walk back to a area I was just at and have creatures spawn back because someone I don't care about is in the same area and needs to fight the. I feel like they truly do not care about the reviews or thoughts of their fans and truly says in meeting **** them" because that's how it feels. It feels like we are getting ****ed and just like elder scrolls they will basically forces you to use the game because they wont create a new game that is not trying to take your money and is truly a single player game.

It seems like they have stopped caring and they think this is somehow an acceptable state to put out a Bethesda game. It even has a bug that deletes your game for clicking play, how is that even possible?

    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]
