    It was love at first sight, I have been playing for 30 hours with my boyfriend Tyrone and I can not tear myself away. Without a doubt the best game in the series, the absolute masterpiece.

    They wanted to have CoOp on Fallout 4, decided to try Multiplayer. WORKS just Fine !
    They had this idea for that engine, and made it happen, fixing the lighting and FOV. WORKS just Fine!
    READ into the story and plot and you all will understand why there is no annoying NPCs.
    The Game is amazing, dont listen to 9 year old haters who wants to get famous on YT.

    The sense of desolation is good because of the scarce presence of human persons.

    I love to play with friends because it was just what I wanted from the time after the release of Skyrim: a classic RPG Bethesda playable cooperatively.

    With all the possibilities to buy this game at a reduced price you risk falling into the ridicule by giving 0-3 as a vote. It has solid gameplay, a well-functioning multiplayer and the game involves.

    Clearly like all the games the first phase presents bugs and lack of optimizations. Not to mention that, despite the micro-transaction system, the importance is not felt at all and only those graphic skins that can be purchased can be obtained simply by completing objectives: daily, weekly and various.

    It is clear that who played the B.E.T.A., which, as you may have guessed, is a beta, can not complain about the bugs or problems encountered or the day-one patch. This is exactly what the beta needed, to test the game and, therefore, those who criticized this version of the game should withdraw the review and evaluate the full game.

    The complete game has problems, but they do not preclude playability and, above all with performing PCs, the problems are much smaller. Solution for those with less performing PCs? Lower the graphics. Why yes, the graphics look like Fallout 4, but it's not, it's better, maybe we expected more, but it's better.

    So whoever does not have the game, or just played the beta, or is only here to bury the title goes away.    … Expand

    1) Graphics - They are not bad, they are current generation.
    2) Questing - Questing if anything is better with holotapes then to read dialogs in other mmorpgs. Maybe story line is a little lacking up the vast world, customization's and teamplay make up for it.

    3) PVP - anti ganking is a beautiful thing, the pvp was designed for late game squad or faction pvp. People just don't understand the PvP mechanics.
    4) Character Development - Best game in the world for character builds. Non-Class specific builds calls for unlimited diversity in both solo play and in squad play with perk sharing. Align your build with specific weapon and armor mods to fit your play style for even improved functionality.
    5) Bugs - Nothing game breaking. A few glitches here and there that will most likely be fixed in a few months.
    6) Frame Drops - Bethesda acknowledges the problems with the frame rate and is working around the clock to fix them. To be honest the 50-60 fps is completely playable as a pve game. Once everyone gets to 50 we will need better frame rates for pvp, I'm confident the fix will be in place at this time.
    7) Micro transactions - Cosmetic transactions? This is not even worth mentioning. Yes let them make some one from some cool skins. Nothing game breaking from a P2W perspective.

    Conclusion: The game makes for a very complex and strategic end game Battle Area. Currently, no other game provides a game that is not class specific and have as much character and team item and skill development then this game. You heard it from me first but this game is 2019 game of the year.    … Expand

It feels similar to Fallout 4 in a lot of ways, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. All-in-all it suffers from some issues with framerate (though how much of that is on my rig is up in the air) and it's admittedly light on a conventional story. But wandering through the Wasteland, picking through ruins to find notes and holotapes that hint at some very dark and interesting stories, and all with your friends along for the ride? It's fun. And it will keep my Fallout itch scratched for a while. Not a 10/10 GOTY material game. But once the various technical issues are worked out, it'll be something to kill some serious time.… Expand

    Since some guy asked: "What is Fallout without the factions fighting for power, heartbreaking stories and awesome companions?"
    An awesome game for exploration, designed to be played with friends or to encounter strangers. Because real humans are 10x better than boring NPCs.

    To continue the "review" (from a guy who has apparently NOT played the game):
    "The game strongest point - its combat system - is unresponsive and laggy. Meelee build is just impossible or not worthy."
    This game was never sold as a shooter, nor is this the games only strong point. Melee build is very strong, so apparently you never played the game or are veeeery bad at it.

    "God forgive me for paying this sick joke of a Fallout 4 multiplayer mod the price of a full retail game. Costumers, speak with your wallets. Collapse"
    Feel the hate! God, what pityfui creatures Bethesda fans are.

    Buy the game, if you want a mild online suvival game, with a strong focus on exploration, collection and a narrative world. Yes there are NPCs, yes there is a story, yes there are factions you can join and yes, there is a lot you can do in this game. Im currently clocking at around 50h and have not even seen 50% of the game.    … Expand

    It's not going to be a game which everyone considers "timeless" that we'll all return to every 9 months and play for several weeks. The online portion will make sure of that. To be completely honest, it kind of is and also isn't Fallout. At least not the Fallout everybody has played in the past. Online is the best and worst part about this game, because - times out of 10 other players will cross paths with no interaction whatsoever - just passing by. The only way so far that I've been able to take advantage of it is actual

    The game itself visually is quite stunning. For a game engine that's 7 years old, it does a decent job of making a good looking, massive landscape in our Next-Gen world of gaming. It is far more colorful than the previous titles. The bombs didn't drop that long ago so things aren't as brown, dull, muddy, and just all around dead. Some major overhauls have been made to the lighting, rendering, and landscape tech.

    Do I think they can do so much better and need to upgrade? Yes. Oh my goodness yes. What they have is an engine with so many presets that they practically don't even need environment artists to create anything because it's already been made. All they need to do now is click and drag pieces into place. So when I heard they had created a world 4 times the size of Fallout 4 in this short amount of time, I was not at surprised. Todd Howard even made a statement, "We like our editor. It allows us to create worlds really fast and the modders know it really well." Yes, people will pick up on how to manipulate your games very well when nothing about the engine has changed in 7 years.

    Aside from me complaining about their engine (which lots of people do and it's well deserved), the game was enjoyable. I spent a solid 3 hours playing and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I'm not sure how long my excitement for it will last, but for now, I'm going to playing in world of Fallout - a world I love so much. And like I said at the beginning; this game isn't perfect. But it isn't quite deserving of all this hate from people who probably haven't even played it.    … Expand

There is so much to do, and if you’re able to play with a friend it makes it that much better! NPCs will be here soon, so that should only increase the value.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. In short, Fallout 76’s addon wastelanders feels like the best quest mod I’ve ever played. Let me clarify. DLCs normally take you to a completely new place, like Fallout 3’s The Pitt, that takes you to Pittsburg, and Fallout 4s Far Harbor which takes you all the way up north to Maine. But this addon, which is pretty much the first BIG DLC for Fallout 76 doesn't take you to a new place, but instead takes the world space and framework laid out in the base game and expands upon it. There were a lot of interesting locations that just felt empty in the base game, although there still are the random wastelanders and new faction wastelanders add just enough liveliness to the world that it no longer feels completely dead.… Expand

Grieving is none-existent right now.

    People who are used to the Fallout singleplayer games might have problems with this title though. The only reason for this is, that there are no human npcs. All humans are players. If you don't embrace that it might feel "empty". Thats an illusion though. Because of people being upset about it, it might have been a bad decision by Bethesda to do it like that, but the game is amazing. A real singleplayer game done in multiplayer and its full of content. Just no babbling human skinned NPCs, but its still story rich and huge, full of stuff to do.

    It's a version of the Fallout universe I've been waiting for.

    Pros: Massive world, with immersive story lines. Some complain about there being no NPCs... but isn't that a good thing, when in life you're dealing with 30-40 NPC's per day? Finally a chance to get away from them all. Actually, they're all dead, but you can play their memories as holo-tapes all you want.

    Kill Super Mutants with a friend! Always fun.

    PvP world with a very large degree of co-operation and very little actual grief. In fact, those who try to grief generally get bored very fast. If they don't there's always the option to jump to a new server. It doesn't take any time at all and you're in the same place when you land in the new server. Unless you've friended them they can't chase you across servers.

    Did I mention a massive world with a ton of content?

    There are other humans in the game! If that's not your thing, then you'll probably fit in with about half of them anyway. Most people on any server are exploring the story line on their own. It is fun to bump into people casually, but the game is a lot more fun if you're exploring with a group you meet up with regularly. I guess I hear a lot of people complain about this, but as far as I can tell it's only a negative if you're looking for something to complain about.

    Cons:
    Pretty ridiculously easy. Although if you want a challenge, you can always restrict yourself to pistols and avoid the power armor. You could even ramp it up by not wearing any armor at all and going without stimpacks. Still though, it would be fun to have an uber-hard server where the people who hang really invested the time to navigate the world with care.

    I guess if you love NPCs, you're out of luck. Try the local walmart, they hang out there in droves.    … Expand

    1. Its Fall Out.

If that's the type of gamer you are than go ahead & listen to the "0" reviews who have never played this game, have no intention of playing this game, & have never genuinely reviewed a game in their life & move along.

    For everyone else that isn't a fake POS "reviewer" who is genuinely interested in the game, maybe Fallout 76 can be for you.

    Some users were asking if Fallout 76 was like an MMA. To answer that question, it's like an MMO in the sense that you seek out crafting materials, craft items, base build, share the experience with friends & other gamers & can trade items with people.

    There's PvP with other players on the map that you will be exploring. You can turn on passive mode which will allow you to explore in relative peace without being bother by another player if you choose to do so.

    Fallout 76's story is being told via recordings, notes/letters, clues, etc. Now, that's not to say there isn't a story within this game, there's plenty to discover and learn about in Appalachia. But this isn't a traditional Fallout title. This is more character & base building focus with multiplayer involved (questing together, trading and pvp on occasion).

    All that being said, even outside of multiplayer, I'm still looking forward to solo play since I don't have friends that are picking this up. & I'm fine with a game I can kind of veg out to in the Fallout universe and do random quests and just building a character while potentially meeting a new gaming buddy along the way.

    This is very much a create your own adventure game in some aspects. You can ignore those aspects and just do the missions though if you want. And get all the story aspect out of the game. Just don't go into this thinking the story will be as strong as a Fallout 3, New Vegas or 4 where it was solo story linear heavy with great side quests if you choose. This will still have quests to do but they will be all about adding to the lore of the Fallout Universe & the rewards for doing the quests will be in the form that will help grow your character within the game & give you materials to help build a gun or a base or armor.

    This is a game I can see being added onto for years & growing it over time. & getting in on day one will be worth the journey if you are open minded about a different style Fallout game.    … Expand

Even after the map is completely explored its still entertaining to complete the missions and design your camp.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I love this game! 10/10 !!!

    Не могу оторваться от игры уже почти две недели. Мне искренне непонятно, что игрокам не нравится. Ощущение, что просто зажрались. Я прошел все части серии. И от каждой получил огромное удовольствие, включая Fallout 4. Конечно лучшей частью игры я все равно считаю New Vegas.
    Fallout 76 воспринимается иначе, присутствует особая атмосфера постъядерного мира, по первым ощущениям совсем непохожая на другие части серии. На данный момент 65 уровень. Исследовано много локаций, но далеко еще не все. Осталась уйма контента. Пройдены цепочки квестов Анклава и Братства стали. Те кто пишут, что с лором что-то не так, определенно его не знают, где-то что-то слышали, а потом с пеной из рта пытаются доказать, что не по лору. Более того, многие моменты из прошлых частей игры проясняются. Мои впечатления от игры только положительные, да баги есть, но я уверен их поправят, да и они на мой взгляд незначительные, особенно если сравнивать с прошлыми частями серии xD, и на общее впечатление от игры они не слишком влияют. Вообще о такой игре я мог только мечтать. Кооператив в постапокалиптическом мире с элементами ролевой игры. Вы только вдумайтесь.
    Я крайне рекомендую всем любителям серии поиграть чуть больше ( из тех кто купил), не набивать просмотры кликбейтным заголовкам на ютубе и стримах (Тодд Говард сливает серию и все такое). Имейте свою голову на плечах. Геймплей потрясный, играть интересно, квесты крутые. Я крайне рекомендую игру к покупке. Я теперь ее фанат и поэтому просто не могу смотреть на то, как ее пытаются очернить.

If you want a high risk pvp game like Rust or Ark where getting killed, raided and eventually wiped is 100% expected and you love the thrill of trying to be alpha tribe before you get wiped, this game is not for you.

    If you want a traditional fallout game where you interact with interesting NPCs and make thoughtful choices, this game isn't for you either.

    So who is this game for and why the hell did I give it a 10? If you want a mix between DayZ and Mist this game is for you. It's honestly perfect for me and my boyfriend. I LOVE games like Rust and Ark, but he wont play them with me because he hates putting so much time and effort into something only to get raided in the end. I have little interest in a co-op Fallout 4 because who's choices would matter?

    This game is seriously awesome, it combines sandbox elements with a really rich story. It's just a different type of story. You emerge from vault 76 only 25 years after the war. The government filled vault 76 and other early release vaults with the best and brightest the USA had to offer because we're the ones that have to rebuild and shape the world for the future vaults. After being released you interact with a few robots that point you in a direction and you go. You find out that people who weren't able to secure safety in a vault did survive after the bombs dropped, you find their camps, diaries and holotapes talking about everything from dangerous radiation levels in the water to mutated monsters, plagues and maybe even aliens (not sure if that's actually a thing or just a crazy person rambling). The tapes are awesome because you can listen to them while rummaging around collecting stuff.

    You try to drink the water and you get rads, you try to eat the food and you get rads. You try to collect the water to boil it, and you still get rads but less so. They don't cure over time, and Radaway is sparce and you can't craft it (at least at first, not sure if you can later). You start listening to these tapes and the survivors testing the water and trying to figure out how to purify it and you have to pick up where they left off if you hope to survive long term. That's the reality of being the first ones out of a vault, no town to buy purified water in. You have to figure out how to purify it so there can be towns and factions in the future.... as well as looking into super mutant threats, plagues, aliens and other crazy rumors that could end human life as we know it. Just because the story doesn't handhold you or tell you how awesome and invaluable your character is every 15 minutes doesn't mean there isn't a rich story for you to uncover on your own.

    Obviously there's monster hunting, treasure maps, air drops, crafting, perks and skills and other cool stuff. You can build a camp but it logs out with you for the night so you can only get raided while online (even then you have a chest that only you can access, additional storage people can loot though). You know what though, that's a nice change of pace. It's a game, I can't be on 24/7. The community actually seems nice, people are intentionally leaving things in lootable chests to help others along. Don't get me wrong I LOVE games like Ark and Rust, I've got 600+ hours in each on official servers... but I also like to be able to sleep easy when I log out and I like playing games with my boyfriend so this is fun in it's own right and the first game of it's kind.

    I also love a deeply rich story, I love the previous fallout games. I've played through the Mass Effect Trilogy so many times it's unreal. I don't need to become leader of every guild and have NPCs stare at me in awe though. I don't always need to be the center of the universe, sometimes it's cool to just be a part of it and make it what you will.

    TLDR; if you want Fallout 5 Co-Op, this is not for you. If you want DayZ, this is not for you. If you want something in the middle of those that you can convince your PvP shy friends and family to play, this is perfect for you.    … Expand

    This not the right way to play it. You are mad about there is no npc's... but in the end you are the real npc's in this game. I've approach other players roleplaying my character and they ignored me thinking i'm some kind of crazy guy and they left so they can continue the grinding.

    My final opinion is that this game is good but players don't know how to play it, what RP is and care only about rushing it to beat the game as fast they can.

I regret ever bashing Bethesda for this game! I have had nothing but great times and now that I know wtf I'm doing and playing with friends everyday this game is on another level and we all just didn't see it! but now I see it, I see the amazing item complexity's and crafting builds in retrospect to the amazing perk card system that allows you to swap loadouts on perks. just wish there was a way to save loadouts and swap them without doing it manually. I see the massive amounts of level depth and planning the first time I took posiden energy plant with a full squad and now every time I catch the cute easter eggs hidden in inanimate objects, graffiti, termanals, and blood scrawled notes on the corpse of dead raider joe, Yes this game is buggy as hell, Yes I have 400+ triple A titles in my steam library, but you know what.

I did my first 5 quest tonight and they were very well done. Sure this is not a game for Tom Cruise. But this is one of the best games ive played in a long time and I really wish it had a better launch, people were way to quick to judge just like I was by some fluke I kept playing and I think its one of the best things that ever happened. Sorry for my poor grammar and the long rant of a review but I feel this game will have a spot in history as the game that surprised the world when it picks up steam in reviews again. and it will just look at ESO same story not as great a game but it fleshed out to be a really good MMO, Cheers to all you still trending the wasteland at least you know what I know… Expand

    First, Anyone that votes 0 has ether not played the game or only played it for a few minutes. Don't count those votes as they haven't even put enough time into the game to even judge it.

There are    First, Anyone that votes 0 has ether not played the game or only played it for a few minutes. Don't count those votes as they haven't even put enough time into the game to even judge it.

    I've played this game for about 250 hours now over the course of several weeks. My opinions are outlined below.
    This game is a beast. There are tons and tons of activities to do in the game. There are hundreds of quests and even more hidden areas. There is a plethora of lore to be learned and the map is simply astonishing. There are several unique regions in the map that have different creatures and enemies. There is building, farming, and exploring. With the new leveling system, you can change the perks you want to use at any time within the same tree.

    Down to business. The combat. Since the game is primarily online, the VATS system is kinda different. There is a slow degradation on your AP while it's in use and there is no slow time. This makes the VATS system a little different from previous games while still keeping it useful.
    Combat is limited to 2 types, ranged or melee, with trees in each category. While some may want to use a melee build, there is one enemy in game that will annoy you to no end because you become helpless, which is the Scorch Beasts. These nasty creatures fly high in the sky, similar to the dragons in Skyrim. Without a way to ground the beast, a melee character is essentially target practice for the flying balls of death. For this reason, I recommend picking a ranged character.

    For perks, the way it works is each level in a tree, ex; Strength, will give you one more point to spend on cards (perks) each card has a point cost associated with it and can be 'equipped'. If you have level 10 Strength you get 10 points to either spend on 10 cards that cost one or any combination of leveled cards equalling 10. I like this system as it lets me invest into lockpicking but I don't have to keep it active when I'm not picking a lock.

    For building, you can place a house almost anywhere. You set down a camp and hop to it. You have a camp budget and turrets take a LOT of it. If you want a nice home, build it in an area you won't need turrets to defend it. There are mining sites all across the map that let you build machines to gather resources for you passively. They need to be emptied regularly as there is a limit to how much stuff they can hold. Building a home is fairly easy but outfitting it with all the trinkets you want is harder as most of the placeable items are locked and need plans.

    For weapons and armor, the armor in this game has levels. So pick a version you like, and stick with the one. If you want more physical damage reduction compared to energy, then pick something that caters to your class. No one armor is better than another, it just depends on what you like.
    For power armor, this can be argued as better. But you lose access to fist weapons and you have to carry heavy power cores.
    For weapons, you need to scrap them to get attachment plans. See tons of shotguns? Scrap em. ballistic weapons are currently the go to at the moment but don't let this stop you from hitting robots with a weapon their weak against. (energy)

    If you come to a point where you can't put any more items into your stash, you're hoarding too much. Stop it. This isn't Fallout 4. Keep at most 4 weapons, a pile of ammo, and 100 scrap/bulk of each type. If you're running a shotgun class you don't need 3 Fat Mans in your stash. Pro tip, Mini nukes and missiles weigh a lot.

    Albeit a rocky launch, Fallout 76 has been making strides to correct bugs and update the game with QoL features. The performance is still a little iffy, even on decent PC's but tweaking settings and such can get it to run pretty smoothly. So far I've been enjoying my time exploring and questing, just like I had in New Vegas or the Capital Wasteland.

I've had quests reset multiple times. But this is from a company that put out Daggerfall which had 4 to 5 pages of patch notes EVERY patch cycle for half a year.

    It's not Fallout 5. It's a survival game in that world. If you thought you were getting something else, then yeah, I guess the negative review is justified. I personally have enjoyed it quite a lot. Hanging out with buddies, tearing through some of the crazier monsters, it's been fun.

The only issues I've seen from other reviews are pretty much things that don't exist, like lack of content, no story, or lore. The only way you could miss any of this is if you're in a group and don't want to take the time to read or listen to the holotapes.

    At first day of release, this game doesn't really deliver. Bugs and straight bad game design have ruined the launch (inventory limitation forcing players to walk instead of run). I really hope Bethesda learn of it but between this and Elder Scrolls Online it is obvious they have lost the capacity to produce serious deep games. It's all about money now for this company.

    That said, Fallout 76 can still be still fun and addictive. The world is immersive and requires a lot of patience, too much for 90% of the gaming population thus the hate: One must listen to audio files and read through entire paragraphs to get a sense of Fallout post- war world.
    Leveling is interesting through a system of distributed points and cards.

    As an online game, with time, bugs will be ironed out and we will see QoL improvements.
    A first patch is coming a week after launch already and they have yet to announce the details.
    So hope is not lost.

The story is very subdued with the player deciding on how to approach it, even skipping vast portions of it if so inclined. An interesting take to be sure, but makes the story feel lackluster. The most unenjoyable thing is the lack of human npc's whatsoever. When they tease you about finding someone living, makes you want it even more badly.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. As you can tell from all the 0's, and looking at the drama that this game has brought along. It's no surprise that the majority of the fan reviews are likely people who wouldn't buy the game at all, and just want the game to tank so they can have they can have single player. Though, there is plenty wrong surrounding Fallout 76. Human NPC's are a sad, and what I feel is a unnecessary sacrifice, and B.E.T.A wasn't really a Beta, more-so a "play a couple weeks early before release" type deal at worst, and stress testing their servers at best. Which, even after release there was no changes that I noticed. travelling to a Robot laden area that's sprawled with guard bots, FPS drops and I'll admit, has gotten me killed a at least once. If they had a proper beta, by this point I'm sure it'd be in a better state. With the PC B.E.T.A deleting itself at start and no steam support, it's been what seems to be bad decision one after another that pisses people off (as you can plenty see with all said 0's).

    But I'm rating it on how much fun I've had, not because of Meta problems and things that can possibly be fixed with patches, which I would hope they would put more focus on, since they can't leave that to modders any time soon, and would only enforce the hate if they didn't.

    I've had plenty of fun playing solo and with my friends, interacting and helping others in real time and get a random chat in every once in awhile. I've only had a small hand full of PvP, to which I've not done too well, even with backup in my experiences. But most people I've encountered have seemed to avoid it for the most part, giving me a friendly wave when they catch me sneaking about, trying to avoid a fight with them. So far, I've been enjoying my play time, my only, biggest gripe is the no NPC Humans around to spice things up. And Microtransactions are limited to Cosmetics, and I'm hoping it sticks to that.    … Expand

    Fallout 76 has compelling writing and acting which flesh out interesting stories in a beautifully constructed world. As with many previous Fallout games, you get what you put into it.

Read a terminal, listen to a holotape, look through the person's rooms, and track down the path they trod. Fallout 76 is a wonderful experience which tackles the complex progression of society's decay in a post-apocalyptic world. All this while also creating interesting factions and characters through its text and recorded audio.

    I have only played Fallout 76 solo and feel that it is just as good for single player as Fallout 3 or 4. Sure, there are other players running around but overall their impact on my experience is very limited.

I want to warn you fine folks to take careful care when reading the negative reviews here because very many of them are not objective and barely subjective, ANYONE can throw a review up here and if you look around other platforms it's essentially the same thing. Most people are not judging the game on its merits but because they didn't get a specific title that they were demanding from the developer+publisher and seem to be intent on destroying a developer's potential success just to make that point. So those of us who are having fun with the game are in part at the mercy of these people who can't just not play the game but want it destroyed. That being said be sure to make sure the review is on the up-n-up and outlines specifically what is right and wrong with the product, which is what I'll do now.

    Personally I think the game is great but let me go over a quickfire list of pros and cons, just FYI this is an honest opinion of the game from someone who has been playing it since day 1 of the BETA on PC.

    (Pros)
    -Great gunplay compared to previous titles
    -Very well oiled crafting system
    -Craftable Ammo ;)
    -No Dogmeat (some people call this a con, but that dog has always gotten in my freakin way since FO3)
    -Hilarious perk cards (Canned Dog Food is an in the face Mad Max reference even has a perk card for it!)
    -It's not like ESO at all, there's not 500 people running through your dungeon crawls
    -Co-op: this part cannot be stated enough, this game is a freakin' joy to co-op players, hands down.
    -Seemingly a Never-ending pool of interesting new monsters
    -Massive Map
    -Bethesda's usual beautiful and atmospheric landscapes
    -Bethesda's usual foreboding and depressing interior atmospheres
    -Bethesda's silent story-telling and object placement (people love this for a reason)
    -Possibly some of the best voice acting any of the Fallout games have experienced (that might not be saying much since it was always notoriously bad for almost every title hah!)
    -Seamless world/server phasing.
    -A plethora of new weapons (and no you don't run around with pipe pistols for long as much as we all hate those dumb things, ammunition vending machines everywhere and Americans need to make pipe pistols? pffft!)
    -The lore is actually pretty good, the people complaining about it have always complained about East-coast Fallout lore no matter how reasonable it is.

    (Cons)
    -Creation Engine limitations (I've modded BGS games since the early gamebryo days)
    -Frame Rate Lock at 60fps (the engine needs to be locked to a standardized framerate and doesn't play well with variable or high frame rates as it causes your game to get buggy in ways other players with a standard 60hz display will never experience)
    -No push-to-talk so nobody says anything to one another everybody just communicates via emotes (this feature is being added post-launch for some reason, but the lack of it is really really annoying because you do WANT to talk to others.
    -FOV "locked" at 70 degrees with no FOV setting in the options menus (default FOV on PC has always been 90 degrees, larger displays need higher FOV to compensate for the size of the physical display to prevent the player from getting sick. This setting can be altered in the .ini config)
    -Unlocked .ini config - remember that framelock i mentioned? well you can force the lock off in the ini settings which will cause the game to run at the pace of your GPU rather than that locked FPS effectively enabling a speedhack that the servers struggle to check against.
    -No Anticheat? - There are players who are up in the level 60+ range already, they all swear that they achieved those levels legitimately, you only have to play the game to know that's a load of BS.
    -The Slap System - admittedly I think this system is dumb it's trying to prevent and encourage pvp all at the same time by attempting to make duel challenges seamless, but for whatever reason they decided to add faction-pvp post-launch and not prior so I don't know what's up with that.
    -Inventory Management is BRUTAL - I normally don't mind inventory management but FO76's inventory management is pretty bad even despite having virtually all the weight management perks maxed out, so many things alter your potential carry weight, whether you're hungry, thirsty, ate the wrong thing, diseased, etc. you spend so much time hoofing it back to camp just to drop your junk off and try to get back into the fight.

    (Conclusion/Notes)

    I think the game is great, rough around the edges of course, and in the meantime is easily remedied until BGS sorts out their plans. I think this game was rushed to be put to market in Q4 and ALL of the features were to be added post-launch, which isn't a practice that should be made into a habit but as it stands Fallout 76 is an enjoyable experience that will most likely get even better with age!    … Expand

    I've played about 60 hours of SOLO Fallout 76 so far, and it's been a LOT of fun. I've experienced very few bugs and glitches, I've had zero disconnects and zero crashes so far, and the game has run very well on my rig. I run an i5 8600k, GTX 1070ti, 16gb memory and the game is installed on an SSD.

I've experienced very few bugs and glitches, I've had zero disconnects and zero crashes so far, and the game has run very well on my rig. I run an i5 8600k, GTX 1070ti, 16gb memory and the game is installed on an SSD.

    Will it run this well for YOU? It might. It might not. The game *does* have quite a few bugs which you may or may not experience. Bethesda has made some questionable design choices, and whether you are a player who is able to adapt to the design choices is ultimately on you.

    The controls could use more customization options on PC, but the things that can't be changed only took me a couple of minutes to adapt to and haven't detracted from my enjoyment of the game in the least.

    The graphics options should have been more robust from the start, but I've adapted to this by making the changes I want in the games .ini files. Beyond the 3 minutes that took, I haven't had any gripes with the graphics.

    I've seen some people saying this game, graphically, looks like a Playstation 2 game.... I haven't the slightest idea of how someone could *seriously* come to this absolutely absurd conclusion, but welcome to the internet I guess, where 9 times out of 10 things are blown way out of proportion for the sake of seeming sensational. The graphics look fine to me. I've never needed the most cutting edge graphics to enjoy a game. So, while it doesn't have the graphical fidelity of a game such as "The Witcher 3" or "Red Dead Redemption 2", it looks just fine. Whether this is an issue to you or not is ultimately on you.

    The gameplay has been a lot of fun. Gunplay feels good, so does melee. Combat feels fine from my perspective. Aiming controls are fine, and melee combat feels fine. Overall, the way you move, aim and play the game does feel mostly like Fallout 4, which is cool with me, as I loved Fallout 4.

    Some enemy AI could use some work here and there. Most of the time enemies react how you'd expect them to, and other times they're dumb as rocks. It isn't a big enough issue to hurt my overall experience of the game.

    I like how you have to find plans to make new weapons and armor, and you have to break down weapons and armor to learn how to make mods for that specific type of weapon or armor. Having to find plans incentivizes exploration, which I think is a good thing.

    There are a lot of locations to discover and explore. I've discovered the majority of them, but am nowhere close to actually fully *exploring* each location. I'm easily going to get at least another 60 hours out of this game.

    I really like the CAMP system. I build my camp to be functional and battle ready opposed to making it look "pretty". I'm a function before form kind of guy. I like to place my camp in difficult locations with frequent enemy presence because it gives my turrets something to do, and can be a fairly good way to get EXP and loot.

    On the topic of the CAMP system, some things could use some polish and tweaking here and there, but overall for me it's been good. I also wish there was a way to broadcast your CAMPs location to other players on the map.

    The public workshop system is cool. The fact that you are given a good supply of free resources to use for building it up is great, instead of having to immediately dip into your own resources. I see a lot of people taking issue with the fact that they "feel pointless" because when you disconnect from the game, you lose your claim on any public workshops you've had. I understand why this is the case, so it doesn't bother me in the least. The resources were free, and I enjoy building, so I simply look at it as enjoyable content. Having to build a public workshop again is a non-issue for me.

    I'm not going to go into great detail about each bug that is present in the game, or each questionable design choice Bethesda has made. Very few of these things have actually affected me, and it's just not worth the time. I will reiterate that *yes*, bugs ARE present in the game. You may experience very, very few like me, or you may experience a lot. The game DOES need polish so that it's a good experience for everyone, not just the lucky people like me.

    Hell, even to a player like me who has had a great experience, polish is still needed. While I think the game is very good, it's not "GREAT", which is why I have only given it an 8 out of 10. It could have been much better.

    Luckily, Bethesda is going to be supporting this game for the foreseeable future, fixing bugs and adding content. This game has a HUGE amount of potential if they add content and make quality of life changes at a fair pace. Like... the extent of how cool this game could become boggles my mind. Bethesda just needs to follow through with the support they've stated they'll be giving it. If they do that I'll be playing it for a long, long time.    … Expand

    That's a great game. Slow exploration of the huge world, history of Fallout's world on the terminal among empty, left buildings with a ton of danger. After 2 years from release it's great game. Very recommend it, if you like survival, realtime RPG with exploration. For fun you can go with your friend online.

    I have no baggage with this game. I’ve come at it fresh, once wastelanders was out. I think It’s a cracking game. But the Atom store is a disappointment, and the Bethesda clunky animations and poor character art bring the score down. Definitely worth a punt!

    I'm a long term player of the fallout brand.
    This game is really different from the predecessor, but it is really enjoyable and fun to play.
    And when first nuke explode your heart will have a gulp.
    Plenty of enemies and also hard to beat, i suggest this game if you love the fallout universe,
    Forgot, in the beginning the game was really full of bugs, but now they are nearly all fixed.

Fallout 76 is my favorite post-apocalyptic game ever. And I mean even from release. The mass delusion that this game was somehow terrible was the most frustrating gaming experience of my adult life; everywhere I went the consensus was "there is nothing good about this game and Bethesda ruined everything" when I was playing 6-10 hours every day and loving it in a way I had rarely loved any game before or since. The inarguably bleakest, loneliest, most distressing entry in the series (or possibly of any non-horror game), Fallout 76 had literally everything that made the previous three entries in the series great, and far more besides--more compelling voice logs, terminal entries, interconnectivity between areas, mutated abominations, verticality and variance of locales, everything. Except, of course, for human NPCs. Would I want all my Fallout games to be devoid of human NPCs? Absolutely not, but for one game? Yes, please. It was an experience like no other. Their return with the "Wastelanders" expansion was done fairly well, and I love the game as much as ever now, but I definitely miss the early days of Fallout 76 when it truly felt like you were the first explorers/settlers of a once-pristine wilderness destroyed by the horrors of radiation. But good luck explaining that to anyone when literally everyone's response to "I am really loving Fallout 76" is "that's a joke right? I heard that's the worst game ever." I feel so sorry for everyone who believed the lies rather than trying it out.… Expand

    The way some people talk about this game you'd think it was the second coming of Aliens Colonial Marines. In reality there's a lot on offer here. Do yourself a favour, avoid the myriad of YouTube influencers and reviewers and play the game for yourself. I went in expecting the worst thanks to the internet as a whole and was pretty shocked to discover the game was way above my expectations.

    If you like the more recent Fallout games then there's not really that much different here besides the huge and frankly gorgeous at times world. The only real difference is that the quests are largely dished out via audiologs and robots. To be honest I feel like people have misunderstood this feature somewhat and have taken to labeling the game as feeling lonely and empty but it actually allows for quests to be doled out and listened to by multiple users without each individual having to que up and talk to an NPC. It's a lot more efficient and the voice acting on the audiologs is top notch.

    Speaking of which, there's a lot of dialogue, I mean A LOT. Honestly if you like world building there's a lot here to get your teeth into. The game was buggy at launch for sure which is a negative but it's no more buggy now than any other always online game out there.

    There's way more to go at here than you might think. If you stop and smell the roses and don't blitz your way through with zero regard for the world you'll easily get lost and carried away with what you're doing from the campaign alone never mind the events and the nukes.

    If they keep going with updates and stick with the game then I think it'll change a lot of people's minds in the long run. Give it a try.    … Expand

Sure, it has its quirks, but its charms more than make up for it. If you love exploring a post-apocalyptic landscape, discovering interesting locations and piecing together what happened, all while listening to some of the best classic music ever made, then you'll *love* this game.

    The multi-player layer on top is well done and subtle. You can participate in it if you want, or ignore it and treat it like a single player game. I am not a multi-player gamer yet I really like the way they did it in this game and it's fun knowing other players are in the world even if I'm largely ignoring them.

    Just keep your expectations realistic and ignore whatever hype made this game seem like it would be some kind of grand MMO experience, because it just won't live up to that and it's okay. And remember, it's an online game, you're going to run into lag and bugs that are actually just network issues, and that's okay.

    If you do that, you'll find you were missing out on a whole new Fallout experience that you might just absolutely love, like I did.    … Expand

Compared to Fallout 3, Fallout 76 is most of the time a questionable buggy mess but compared to ANY game made in the last 5 years, on that scale, Fallout 76 is a 9/10.

And the fact the game has been **** on as much as it has, says more about the current state of the game industry than how good or bad Fallout 76 actually is. We are ignoring how much this game has to offer in exploration and immersion because of glitches, poor performance and janky gameplay.

    But what if we had a game the exact opposite, no immersion, no exploration, no soul but utterly perfect performance, smooth gameplay and zero glitches? It would be rated extremely highly (see DOOM, HL:Alyx, Outer Worlds, et al.) This is a problem because we as gamers are saying we are incapable of putting up with a few engine problems and want utterly seamless experiences even if they are are empty and devoid of soul or creativity. We are saying we prefer a polished turd to a rough diamond. And that says more about our puerility as gamers than the gaming industry itself. We are the problem because they can only sell us what we are buying.

    People prefer lack of friction over elevating gaming experiences because of a few small problems. Instead of putting up with a few issues to experience something that will inevitably fill us with a feeling of elevation, we want totally sterile, clinical games that more or less turn our brains to mush.

    If people boycott the only even slightly good game that has been made in years because of engine problems and are now retro-actively ****ting on all of Bethesda's previous games as if 'Oh I never really liked those games anyway' then the future of gaming is very grim, and that's why I am rating game 9/10 because Bethesda to me is the only big game developer left still capable of making games full of any semblance of soul.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Most reviews get this game completely wrong. Fallout 76 is about co-op gameplay at high levels against powerful bosses. The game doesn't really begin until you hit Watoga at about level 40. Which is exactly what Bethesda should have done for long term longevity. Everybody in a on-line game can't be the Choosen One. There is enough story and tense Fallout exploration to get you through the lower levels without extreme boredom. Then you get to start fighting Scorchbeast Queens in the middle of a nuclear firestorm. That's fun.… 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.
