    I bet Bethesda planned to release Fallout 76 as the multiplayer mode to Fallout 4 but realized that rtard fanboys would pay $60 for a pos with no thought put into it and no effort..
    They didnt have to hire all these voice actors or program a lot of AI , or even really do much to the story. It is a very lazy cash grab and nothing more. the game is shallow and has no soul, it's a pew pew game with the same chores over and over with no cool or interesting NPCs ( no NPCs at all actually)...

    If this was $20 I would tolerate but selling a multiplayer mode for $60 that uses almost all the assets from fallout 4 and hardly any of its own is ridiculous.. I dont know whats up with devs lately , it seems it's not about making great games anymore but to make a quick buck. . Gaming is no longer about pleasing the customer, it's about customers pleasing the companies only. We give all our hard earned money to these people so they can go to work and get away with doing a crappy job over and over again..

    The world is dead and it looks like a PS2 game, and praise the buggs.
    Why Bethesda still use a game-engine from the cold war is beyond me.
    If you want to sell a **** console port for 69usd, please go bankrupt. The frame-cap, UI and interface should be enough to burn Bethcrap to the ground.
    The world is completely dead and boring beyond belief.

    Just a very lazy rehashing of previous IP to make a fast buck. Fallout 4 was pretty bad and this is just Bethesda cashing out on the last of the value this game has. This franchise had it's glory days and it's over.

    This is a fallout game in name only; It's a boring, tedious mess that forces you to play with other people, and what it lacks in story it tries to force you to listen to +4 hours of holotapes. Don't waste your money on this fam.

    To expect people to spend their hard-earned money on this is an attack on common sense. Let us be responsible for our actions, let us punish with our purchase decision and with low scores those developers who want to enrich themselves with million-dollar advertising campaigns and products of dismal quality.

    With the hype of Wastelanders - I decided to download FO76 one more time and try my character out, nearly a year since I left. Ladies and gentelmen....it took just 10minutes of playing for me to want to bash my computer into a pulp with a baseball bat -- that's how frustrating these errors are. 10 minutes and that's all it took.

    My final summary of what's left of 'The once-great' Bethesda is simple - without the modding community to come in a patch every single crap game Bethesda makes...they will just be a memory of the company that once was but is no longer!    … Expand

    To be honest guys, this game should be a free to play beta. Buggy, boring and runs like crap. I have a high end system and you can't even turn off Depth of field or Motion blurr, mean come on! I don't believe in giving a game a zero. I mean a zero basically means there is no game. So a 3 is about where this game is at the moment. Save your money and wait for this hot mess to get fixed.

    Shameful garbage. Just trash.

So I created a character - which took about 20 minutes to get perfect - and then the selfie thing was a mess (you need to take a profile selfie). After about    Shameful garbage. Just trash.

If you survive the fall, you're then trapped in the basement as it phases back in. 3- What kind of story is this? There almost is no story. It's wake up alone, go outside not being able to collect much on the way, wander around a bit picking up a wee mission or two. Done. Nothing about that is any good. The suggestion that this could be played as a single player game is... erroneous. 4- Where the flip is everyone? Where are the NPCs? I get its a radiated wasteland but seriously? 5- The weapons and armour 'degrade' very quickly. This is one of the cheap ways that the franchise is trying to milk money from people no doubt. 6- It's art is very bland. These are just a few of the complaints and I will be applying for a refund.

    Post-Skyrim, Bethesda has turned ugly. They've taken the same sociopathic hyper-corporate road as EA and Activision, chasing that sweet cash money to the nth degree while ruthlessly exploiting their fan base and making inferior games.

    For some reason they've been allowed to get away with this for years. The bought-and-paid-for reviewers seem to find "Bethesda bugs" charming and quaint, even joking about how they're "part of the experience".

    Maybe if you get a free review copy of the game they are terribly amusing, but when I'm paying $60 for the privilege I expect the game to run properly and not have to hack the .ini files for hours myself to get it to work. Top "journalists", how much is Bethesda paying you again?

    Anyway, to the game; Fallout 76 is more of the same bland, buggy tripe that we got with Fallout 4 (to the extent it's essentially a multiplayer mod).

    It comes from the same school of cash-grab thought as Metal Gear Survive. Fallout 76's ancient engine is poorly diguised with a flaking new coat of beige paint.

    Unlike single-player Betheda releases, they can't rely wholly on unpaid amateur modders to fix their bugs this time around and so they're likely here to stay. At least it means they won't get to exploit their dedicated community to do their work for them for free.

    Continuing on from Fallout 4's hollow stripping down of the Fallout franchise, Fallout 76 goes another step further, removing all NPCs and replacing them with the cheap, boring terminals and holotapes of Fallout 3 and 4. You know, those excruciatingly boring and meaningless quests people hated (yet are very easy to make)...there's a whole game of those now. Yippee!

    The MP component itself is underwhelming, with castrated PvP (because they didn't want it to be too harsh for the ultra-casuals they're appealing to) and boring co-op. It's no fun to run around in an empty world where there's nothing to do and no real plot.

    Ignore the inevitable 10/10 IGN and "actually I quite like the politics" Kotaku reviews, as they excitedly kiss the rumps of their masters. Bethesda have churned out re-release after re-release of Skyrim, tried to force "Paid Mods" into their games and now they've moved into cynical cash-grab territory.

    The world is pretty enough though graphics are starting to feel dated, it is also very large and sparsely populated (dlc anyone?), there are two largish settlements to occupy you for 2-3 hours but no more, unless your "grinding". The silliest part about quest and story lines being handed out by the deceased is....... why were they busy doing "dear diary" entries (well just about) instead of panicking or preparing or looting or rooting....... absolutely bare minimum of immersion. Pretty easy to play solo, which is just as well unless you byo friends!

    Seriously Bethesda - quit making Fallout games.

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

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

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

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

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

We get some features like an actual survival mode, a huge map and mostly useless multiplayer, but we also lose major features or get major downgrades like no NPCs, no actual story and plot, a kind of ridiculous stash limit size that basically makes it impossible to be an actual pack-rat and the list goes on. I regret buying this game, but I needed to see it for my own eyes. It feels like Bethesda has become Square Enix to me, a one-of-a-kind studio that over time has changed it's main focus into games that I just can't care about. Long live Morrowind.… Expand

    Bethesda should try to update their engine before releasing to online world. Terrible frame rate, big world of nothing. Exploring the world for sound tapes and not even having players be the surprise you see. Cause you can see them on the map. This game is so bad, i feel like bethesda devs never actually played online games of this style.

    This game has more problems than features. Bethesda who says that they appreciate and pay attention to the critical input from the players proves in execution, that this is not the case.

Bethesda who says that they appreciate and pay attention to the critical input from the players proves in execution, that this is not the case.

    #1: Bugs present in Fallout 4 are alive and well in Fallout 76

    #2 The architecture and bandwidth capabilities and methodology of the infrastructure that Bethesda chose to host the game are incapable of the requirements. This is evidenced by the following:

    * Lost Quests
    * Lost progression of quests, sometimes resulting in being permanently
    blocked from all follow up quests
    * Failure to record items in inventory
    * Failure to record the actual armor that is being used sometimes resulting in the
    loss of the same.
    * Almost all NPCs are completely inactive and sometimes invisible until the player
    is on top of them. POP!
    * Server instabilities, loss of connection, failure to actually connect after "finding" a server

    Note: All infrastructure and methodology decisions appear to have been from the point
    of cost rather than providing any sort of acceptable performance !!!

    #3 The game engine is hardly tweaked. The player ends up noticing all too often that the screen is all blurred and waiting for the detail down scaling to "catch up".

    #4 Most quests are absolutely non-complete-able without having to grind to the next level or two or ten!!!

    #5 The world leveling is absolutely insane, there is no rhyme or reason for the random levels of MOBS that occur.

    #6 There is no actual story line, no NPC to give you any sort of reason for doing the ridiculous things that you are being asked to do. To witt : Why the hell would I give a damn about finding all of the jukeboxes in city x or play a musical instrument on the roofs of city x. Most side quests appear to be completely random, are doled out with no interface with anyone asking you to do X because of Y.

    #7 PVP play is pointless.

    #8 While Bethesda admit (somewhat) that the game isn't where they intend it to go. At the same time they offer no vision for where it will go.

    #9 Did I mention BUGS, Well there are bugs of all sorts, rendering, item placement, broken quests, invisible agro'd MOBS, MOB AI that got dropped on it's head, the inability to snipe MOBS because they respawn and the bodies and loot disappear as you approach their area . .. Unfortunately since Bethesda left all bugs to be fixed by Modders in the past and because they decided to keep the servers to themselves. There is no reasonable expectation that they actually know how to or will fix their BUGS.

    #10 With each "patch" Bethesda has released come new bugs and the need to figure out work around's.

    #11 Base building is torturous, repetitive and after some time, a joy sucking experience

    #12 Even with upped storage, the player is herded into playing Fallout 76 - Storekeeper

    #13 I mentioned infrastructure and method earlier but something that becomes really apparent is that they used a singular methodology for inventory that appears to be storing junk, aid, etc as serialized items, thusly loading down server/s (NOTE: I am not convinced that they are not using VMs instead of full servers. Although I am 100% sure that they are not using multiple machines as would be required to keep it all running smoothly and without any popping)

    I'm not going to tell anyone, don't buy this. I am going to say though, that if your mind is not addled; if you notice things that break lore or simply don't make a bit of sense and have to stop and ask yourself wtf is going on here; if you do not want to spend as much time tending your inventories as questing; if you are not completely puzzled at the lack of screws released by junking items that are demonstrably loaded with screws, if you are going to ask yourself why do I need these items to repair this? then wait!!! For the sake of your own sanity and so as to avoid something that is at this point, perhaps ALPHA level,servers that have obviously not been stress tested and done on the cheap and a completely directionless software experiment sold with deceptive advertisement by a rudderless vendor of promise and disappointment.    … Expand

They're leagues apart on practically every level. CDPR tower over Bethesda, and they were a smaller group of developers when they made TW3! 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.

    When it was announced I hated it for being multiplayer only, and with any new information it really sounded worse and worse. In the meantime B.E.T.A.

(Early access) started, and I was "lucky" enough to get my self a beta key, even tho I hated the concept I still wanted to give it a chance. I played during two beta dates, about 4 hours each.
    Oh boy, where to start...
    1. Lack of any Graphical option is disturbing, and the graphics in many cases look very dated.
    2. It is a Bethesda game which means it is full of bugs, that is a problem in single player games let alone multiplayer.
    3. The quests are very boring as you need to stand and listen to holotapes for minutes. After a few hours I was already sick of having to stop in place to listen to one holotape just so I could pick up the next one. I guess it must a blast to play with a friend and having to mute/hush them every time you pick up a holotape.
    4. You have to wait until people finish with crafting stations before you can use them, and that can be a long time, again more waiting. I am guessing it is the same with terminals, tho I am not sure.
    5. There is no text chat in game (?!), and the mics are always on which means you will hear people eating, breathing, peoples pets, family members yelling... Which can also "help" you not hear a holotape you have been listening to for some time, so you have to start over.
    6. Running into people is rarely fun (the most prominent reasons being already mentioned above), the PVP is also butchered.
    7. The world is empty and dead of any life, tho it does look pretty even with very dated graphics.
    8. Events are also very boring from my experience, go there kill this, enemies come in waves. Just very repetitive and not fun at all.
    9. The point of the whole game is just to farm and grind, which isn't that much of a problem in itself, the problem is made clear that there is really no incentive to do so
    10. While I didn't level up much, the question still stands, what is the end game? Just more farming and grinding without any meaningful rewards ?

    Oh and the game isn't on steam and you have to use their horrible Bethesda launcher, that I installed when it first came out and deleted it after 10 mins, not much improvements since then.

    Overall a horrible game in my opinion, not the Fallout I love, and I even enjoyed (modded) Fallout 4. Don't listen to those that just **** on the game with nothing else to add as to why, but also don't listen to those who just praise it without giving their reasons.    … Expand

    Where to begin? The plot - it is not. How the game begins - there are no logical explanations at all, and the player simply does not understand what is happening. In addition, there are no normal quests, nor even an NPC! I miss the knee-shot guard and Preston Garvey.
    Atmosphere - it is not felt. If I just walk around the **** West Virginia, this does not mean that it should be felt. She also demolished **** bugs and bugs!
    The gameplay is the engine of Fallout 4, but worse. I already mentioned the bugs above.
    And the most important thing is **** updates !!! Patch in 30 GB **** did not fix, only supposedly added balance. But in the shameful world of this Fallout, an unkillable player still walks, resulting from the mistakes of the game !!!!

    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.

    This is not fun. And they broke V.A.T.S. I can hear their developers saying "good enough" with every unfixed bug or broken gameplay mechanic. I've been playing since Fallout 1 & 2.

    I'm giving it a 0 because of the obviously paid people who give it a 10. Even if you do not care about all its problems, this game cannot possibly be a 10. It is a horrible game. It looks worst than fallout 4. HOW???!!!???!?!?

    I 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 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.

    This game is a mess. On a technical level it is lazy and phoned it. Had Bethesda not created their own assets I'd call it a flip.

    This is a game engine so old at this point that no amount of dressing up in revealing tops and short skirts will attract it attention like it got back in high school 10 years ago. It simply does not hold up in a modern world.

    It is buggy, old and abuse-able. Scripted events don't trigger in much the same fashion they didn't back in Oblivion, then Fallout 3, then Skyrim, then Fallout 4. The bugs. Oh god so many bugs. I think the main reason they removed friendly NPCs is because you could probably still put a basket over their head and rob them blind. A bit like Bethesda is trying to do with its customers. Although we all know they haven't included them because this engine/game wouldn't be able to handle them.

    It looks UGLY. My god is it ugly. Fallout 4 was too but they really doubled down on it here. Ramping up shaders a pretty game does not make.

    The gameplay is boring and uninspired with a story to match. The "main quest" is as pointless and mundane as the rest of the quests and if the ending to it shocks you we need to chat because you've not watched many films and I've got some classics we should watch.

    Bethesda have lost ALL my respect and from this point on, earning potential. Refund this game (You can do that regardless of their EULA/TOS if you live in a civilized country as your rights as a buyer are encased in Law.).

    Further more if you're giving this game a positive review and you've been paid to do it, nice one, can I have a job as a shill too? If you're defending this game or its overlord of your own free will out of some weird "brand loyalty" you need to get a grip on reality. This game is trash and your brand loyalty is gaining you nothing but terrible games because you are the enabling factor in why awful content like this continues to sell and thus continues to get made. Stand up for yourself and you will get better games.

    Bethesda only cares about your money, you defending them is pointless and stupid.    … Expand

    The main elements of what made fallout games immersive: the story and the colourful characters are missing. Without those things, the dodgy physics, bad connection and bugs stand out way too much to be forgiven. Sadly whether you were hoping for a fallout game or a MMORPG in a fallout universe, you'll be disappointed. It's 95% filler... and 5% broken dreams.

The game is not really a Bethesda game, as one who has been playing Bethesda from Morrowind and forward would say. The reintroduction of npcs was at one side something good but at the other side showed what really happened, Bethesda introducing something so basic, not working in a Bethesda way, with the rules and consequences that made Bethesda games good and immersive.
