    What is Fallout 76?

    It is a multiplayer game set on the Fallout universe. Unlike previous Fallout games, two of which have been developed by Interplay and Black Isle (Fallout and Fallout 2, respectively), two of which have been developed by Bethesda (Fallout 3 and Fallout 4, in addition to Fallout 76), and one which has been developed by Obsidian (Fallout: New Vegas), Fallout 76 doesn't    What is Fallout 76?

    It is a multiplayer game set on the Fallout universe. Unlike previous Fallout games, two of which have been developed by Interplay and Black Isle (Fallout and Fallout 2, respectively), two of which have been developed by Bethesda (Fallout 3 and Fallout 4, in addition to Fallout 76), and one which has been developed by Obsidian (Fallout: New Vegas), Fallout 76 doesn't even try to hide what it is: a multiplayer, online survival shooter with the bare minimum of elements necessary to call it an "RPG".

    But what does this mean, in practice?

    There are no human NPCs in Fallout 76. The only humans you will find are other players. You get quests through holotapes, robot NPCs, among others. This game relies solely on Bethesda's famed "environmental" storytelling, which is as environmental as having a voice telling you what you are seeing. That is because Bethesda's "environmental" storytelling consists of nothing but notes and journals and holotapes and terminals, a far cry from the truly environmental storytelling of Fallout 1, where you can find an abandoned facility that lets you piece together what happened there just by looking around the environment, finding dead bodies, unopened doors, unactivated machinery, etc.

    Fallout 76 is not a good RPG. As such, it fails as a Fallout game. But what about the game part? The simplicity of the quests in this game mean that, unless you are really, REALLY looking forward to spending hundreds of hours doing nothing but fetch quests, base building and PvP that has been nerfed because "griefing is bad in a post-apocalyptic videogame", then the odds are you will hate this game.

    I give this a 5 because it is simply a mediocre game by any metric of the imagination, but in reality a 1 would be more fitting, as it is an absolute disgrace as a Fallout game, and a bad joke as a multiplayer game.    … Expand

    Pure cash grab with unnecessary limitations (stash size, weapon/armor level), empty/soulless world and quite a few bugs. Bethesda knew why they didn't released on steam, because this way they could just grab the cash and offer no refunds.

    I'm still wondering why Bethesda didn't changed the whole game to battle royal to grab even more cash (probably the engine wasn't up to the task).

    Fallout 76 has no content to warrant calling it a game! Outdated engine with poor graphics, mechanics, frame rate and the usual bugs you'd expect from Bethesda. Can't give this any more than a 0/10 because technically there's nothing that makes it a game.

    Fallout 4 was a joke and I don't even want to mention this low-quality Fallout-themed Rust clone. I will just pretend that it doesn't exist.

    I was sold on the awesome setting of the Fallout universe. Then Fo76 just crapped all over it. This is THE biggest waste of money I can ever recall spending money on and I purchased Battlecruiser 3000AD.

    *No story
    *Terrible enemy AI
    *Terrible gun play
    *Single player engine modified for MP with all the Bethesda bugs

There is no NPC and the other players of the 24 players map are not interacting beyond the hot mike (if you have a microphone, it is - by default - always on) or the PvP.

    The game engine and graphics are seriously outdated: it was used probably a decade ago or two. The game lags seriously despite being my network being on a fibre broadband service with less than 30 ms of ping on typical MMOs: as a result of this lag, it usually takes 1-2 seconds for an enemy to be hit by the bullet I just shot. This is very unsatisfactory. The RPG element is non existent as you do not need to develop your character - it is a survival game without consequences. The social element is both ridiculous and not required: who needs to take pictures whilst taking poses, apply filters, and pretty much uploading that to instagram? In short, this game is a terrible disappointment, I made a mistake pre-ordering it and received the just reward of a polished mud-ball: lesson learned. Don't do the same mistake, keep your money for something useful.    … Expand

They understand art, storytelling, player choice, open world, design, detail, balance, and so so so much more. I'm done with Bethesda. They were in prime position to take RPG gaming to the next level, but they went backwards, big time. TH should be fired. PH should be fired. EP should definitely be fired more than anyone else. As well as the hidden decision makers. They take years to produce those RPG **** What a laugh!

    When a game like The Witcher 3 is played, one can see what's possible in RPG gaming, and you can easily make the stance that Bethesda contains high levels incompetence, stupidity, laziness, greed, and luck.

    The Fallout series has, for the most part, been a single player game with a wasteland full of NPC characters to interact with to breathe life into the wasteland. There was plenty to do, plenty of NPCs to interact with, and quests kept you engaged. Now comes Fallout 76, add vivid colors, online multiplayer, but dropping almost all NPCs which has literally sucked the life out of the wasteland. Really, only 24 real-life players to group up with in an attempt to bring the "world" alive? In the first couple of hours of play, I only came across 3 other people. One was so bored that he just went around shooting everyone. I started to become bored.

    Bethesda should have taken Fallout through some "baby-steps" to get it to a full-fledged online multiplayer game. Fallout 76 could have been a pretty good online game, even with just 24 online players, IF they would have kept the vibrant world of NPCs around to keep the world "alive". They should have eased the Fallout community from the usual single-player game into a small interaction of online multiplayer gaming. Work out all the mechanics, fine-tune the multiplayer interaction, etc. They could have gotten away with just 24 players per server if there was enough other NPC/quests to keep you engaged. Once they work out all the issue and streamline the multiplayer experience, and only after this baby-step into the multi-player world, should they have attempted an online version of Fallout devoid of NPCs. And hopefully, servers with about 4-5 times the number of actual online-players to help compensate a Fallout world that would be devoid of NPCs.

    Bethesda has taken a great single-player game and tried to do a full-on sprint into the online world and has fallen flat on their face with it. Which is strangle as Elder Scrolls Online seems like a decent game and they should have partnered with the developer for ESO to get it right.

    It's just not keeping my interest and the pop-up "side" quests don't do a thing for me either. The world is literally dead and devoid of humans (NPCs) and with only 24 other players on the server, the server feels dead. The game feels like it's already dead... The great Vault-Tec online experiment with Vault 76 seems to be a complete failure. Hopefully, the next vault will have better success than 76 did.

    I do love the Fallout series, and I will play some more of Fallout 76. But I don't see me putting in the days-on-end into 76 as I did with previous Fallout versions.    … Expand

    Fallout 76 is just an old Fallout game mod repackaged into a lifeless world. Now, shouldn't a post-apocalyptic world be lifeless? Yes! But this is a game, and the devs are supposed to be making it fun.

    - No private servers until next year
    - High chance for hackers to ruin the experience
    - Huge empty lonely world

    This game is unfortunately going to become another source of youtube news, fanbois giving it 10s and metabombers giving it 0s without even bothering to explain the reasoning, at least say "this isn't the fallout experience you was looking for sadly". Looks like Fallout, feels like fallout...but isn't fallout if that makes any sense? Its like fallout meets rust meets pubg? If that makes any sense?

    So let me explain a few things, Bethesda constantly lied about certain aspects of this game, this is more PVP than PVE and with a high percentage for griefing, you think the current systems to prevent it is going to stop it? Nahh~ you're going to be shot in the back and every turn, built up a nice base...along comes some jerk with nuclear codes and nukes it.

    If you like PvP and the fallout series then this could be the greatest game for you or the worst experience you've ever had, there are some very dramatic debuffs for 'unconsented' PvP...aka PKing, If you're a strictly PVE player then just don't bother because you'll almost guaranteed to end up with 12 year olds shooting at you or others trying to wreck your PVE experience, not to mention I wonder how long it will take before hackers show up as well which will make the game even more terrible.

    This should have been either a 100% PvP game or a 100% PVE game, then perhaps it might have faired better with the public opinion. Lastly, I come to the paid mods situation - listen Bethesda I'm okay with you making buggy or incomplete games, I'm not okay with paid mods and will always give a negative review based on this fact- Creation club will be implemented at a later date and that is something I'm not okay with, but seeing you guys are steadfast into turning the mod scene into another method to generate Microtransactions.    … Expand

Ripping out the (humanoid) NPCs, with narrative and quests tied up with them, populated settlements, choices and consequences, and companions with personality and story arcs, was a terrible mistake and kills this title on arrival. It's what most Fallout playersI have played every Fallout, first to last, and from my time in the beta (friend key) this game has few to no redeeming qualities. Ripping out the (humanoid) NPCs, with narrative and quests tied up with them, populated settlements, choices and consequences, and companions with personality and story arcs, was a terrible mistake and kills this title on arrival. It's what most Fallout players play for. Not shooting, looting, and building/crafting, or whatever godawful way that 'loop' was describied. The lore and the living, breathing, and rebuilding world. Not to hear some dads kids screaming at him that he is 'doing it wrong' all through character creation, exploring a world where everyone you might have wanted to interact with or things you might have wanted to do are already dead/over, and then spending a dozen hours seeing glimmers of what could have been amazing but was a total wasted oppertunity in reality.

    Fallout 76 feels like you are playing the aftermath of a much better Fallout title. Factions and probably heroes fighting to survive, events and great battles and personal struggles playing out, before someone messed up and got a Game Over and everyone died. Then you arrive. You spend the entire game cleaning up a mess/messes left by extinct factions, in a dead and lifeless map, with the end goal of stopping/killing what caused a second mini apocolypse, probably with an alliance made up of a guy eating chips loudly down his mic, a silent dude in a dress and part hat, and someone who can't stop jumping for two seconds. If you are lucky enough not to be met with stony silence and people totally ignoring eachothers existence which was all I found.

    Made single player, with a populated world full of NPCs, where the stories on the holotapes actually played out in front of you and you could take part, this could have been vastly better than FO4 or even Skyrim. It could have taken the crown of best Fallout from New Vegas without a challenge. Instead, it commits the worst sin of all, in that while being bad, it isn't even interesting. It's just so very, very boring. It feels more like a chore simulator than a video game.

    And all this is without all the wonderous technical issues.

    Avoid. I'm only giving it a 1 because nothing that even launches is worth a 0.

Especially Fallout 4, which this game is like minus NPCs and a somewhat meaningful story, did all of this have to be sacrificed due to the fact it's an online game? I personally think not. Bethesda should consider swallowing their pride and consider hiring Obsidian or another half competent team of developers in the future. They did with New Vegas which was released 8 years ago and had a time span of 18 months to be completed, yet that game is still played by many to this day and is a renowned classic. Just to mention I personally don't care about the bugs as this game would still be horrendous even if it was a bug free game, this game has many issues that need to tackled going forward before we even need mention the bugs. If you're considering purchasing this game, keep your 60 bucks or whatever the price is where you reside.

Obsidian should handle the franchise more than Bethesda Game Studios either because Todd Howard's mind has turned twisted or he is really scooping the influence of modern video games that have microtransactions (eg. Black Ops, Fortnite). Clearly Obsidian made their Fallout Game, Fallout New Vegas a masterpiece because it was different and not cliched compared to Bethesda.

    Whichever way you look at it, now more than ever developers are truly beginning to learn that they cannot get away with egregious business practices at a players detriment.

    Bethesda has put out the worst experience I've received from a powerhouse developer in my 27 years & it has completely divided players as some seem desperate to cling to a franchise that was one of the last bastions of an RPG experience & some seem intent on maiming the game for their own profit.

    Wherever you fall on the narrative driven gameplay of this new iteration of Fallout, this game is not well constructed, this game is not running on an well aged engine & the game ships without any sort of identity for what it is meant to be.

    To take a singleplayer experience, and force multiplayer for any semblance of entertainment rings to me as an over reach from an egotistic developer who think they can do no wrong & thankfully the backlash from this horrendous game has been loud enough that it should be resoundingly clear that these shoddy attempts at doing something 'new' will not be tolerated.

    If you took away the Fallout name, no-one would defend this. It is a miserable Rust clone, missing all of the good elements of Rust with a Fallout aesthetic and would be unsurprising to find games of better caliber on Steam Greenlight.

    I won't blindly accept games from any developer on the basis of their previous iterations any further, I'm too heartbroken and too savvy now.

    Changing my review because for the last few days it's been nothing but issues. This is DEFINITELY not worth the full price!

    Performance is poor, gameplay is repetitive as all hell, and for $60 there shouldn't be ANY cash shops, cosmetics should be lootables or quest rewards.

    That'll teach me for supporting Bethesda.

    People been asking for a fallout multiplayer and they delivered. What I don't like is the lack of actual story and human NPC's. Also the netcode looks bad.

    Отличная атмосфера, интересные квесты, с друзьями играть интересно.
    Но если играть одному то это быстро наскучит, а графика осталась на уровне 4-ки.

    I have been a huge fan of Fallout going back to the original but Fallout 76 is not only a terrible Fallout title but a terribly executed game on all fronts. From a programming standpoint the game has terrible to little or no error handling. The law of unintended consequences rules every key stroke and mouse click. The game is extremely unstable and I'm constantly being frozen for 3 to 5I have been a huge fan of Fallout going back to the original but Fallout 76 is not only a terrible Fallout title but a terribly executed game on all fronts. From a programming standpoint the game has terrible to little or no error handling. The law of unintended consequences rules every key stroke and mouse click. The game is extremely unstable and I'm constantly being frozen for 3 to 5 seconds while the server catches its breath so to speak. On average, the server will freeze me out of play 5 to 6 times per hour. It is extremely hard to get a good gamer pace going when the game is constantly fighting the user's inputs. Beside being buggy as all heck, the story ranges from one dimensional to being virtually non existent. The combat is terrible as the enemy combatants seemingly transport back and forth across the screen making you waste tons of ammo to kill yet another scorched. I am really at a loss how any professional reviewer can write a positive review of this game. For the love of God and your immortal soul, do not waste your money on this game. I sure as heck wished I hadn't.… Expand

    The biggest disappointment this year and the biggest disappointment in the history of the franchise. I want my money back.

    I have been a fan of the fallout series. They say that the story sometimes picks up the slack of the sub-par graphics or the over the top graphics pick up the slack of a bad story. Fallout 76 fails on both the story and graphics. The story is boring (no story) and mainly it's a find and collect type of missions. the multiplayer mechanics is way far from good.

    I haven't been more exited for a fallout game hoping that the changes they made on the game are for the best. The developers skimped on the story (less work for them) and on the glitches and bugs (overpaid to do the job properly or pampered). This was the most disappointing wait for a game i have ever had and the second game i am trying to refund after No Man's Sky. (they refused to refund because they said i already downloaded the game)

    Good job Bethesda on creating a post apocalyptic disaster that NUKED your fan-base.    … Expand

    I'm not mad Bethesda. I'm disappointed. You guys are one of my favorite game studios, and Fallout is one of my favorite "gaming franchises" of all time.

But in the case of Fallout 4 I ignored the bugs because I was a fanboy who didn't want to admit the flaws in it, and most importantly, It was fun at the very least. I enjoyed some of the story elements. And I enjoyed the cool quests you could go on with interesting characters. But this game rips all of that out and leaves you with the worst parts of fallout 4. Fallout 76 is a boring, buggy, husk of a half finished game with micro-transactions. Do not buy this game.… Expand

    OK so I pre-ordered and played the BETA. I bought Tod's reassurances that it would be cool to play solo. It wasn't, it was boring as hell and the engine is now obviously outdated. The game just feels empty and there is no incentive to invest yourself in the experience so I refunded. Now I can't uninstall the game as the Bethesda.Net launcher is 'broken'.

    all those who gave this game a good score are paid bots by Bugthesda. This game is absolute trash. Even Vanilla No Man Sky is better than this **** This by far one of if not the worst game this generation.

    If it wasnt bad enough, just wait for the PVP which function as ''issuing a challenge'' so its basicly not possible to get the jump on someone, what an absolute **** - Whats the point on assaulting other players workshop, if they already know you're there...

    Fallout was one of my all time favorite games. As were the elder scrolls series... You screwed up the elder scrolls with ESO. Now Fallout!?!?! Leave our favorite single player franchises alone!!! Fallout 76 is total crap as is ESO.

    No PvP. Boring base building. Grinding so I can grind the bigger things so I can grind the bigger things. No story. No NPCs. Mindlessly easy game. Can kill lvl 25s as a lvl 5 player. Garbage game. Don't buy

    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]
