    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. The graphics is Fallout 4 (iI have been a fan of the fallout series.

    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

    This "game" is simply offensive. tThere is nothing there, nothing, a boring, gitchy mess, void of meaning. Tripple A???
    With this "game" Bethesda offends me as a gamer, as a consumer, as a person really. There should be some legal way to forbid this anomally to ever happen again.

Truly sad and my only hope right now is that their massive damage control since launch will make them realize what's needed to make a great game that doesn't use 90% of their last game. in other words, a new or upgraded engine.

    "It just works" yeah it loads up and I can get in the game, sometimes. Thats not saying much and why it got a 1 from me and not a zero. Had it been a zero, the game wouldnt start, so Ill give it that.

    Bethesda should be absolutely ashamed of themselves for releasing this masterpiece of a con-job. They did this on purpose. There is nothing more really to say. They fleeced good people of their money and honestly should be reported to the Better Business Bureau for fraudulent advertisement.

    The game itself bland and unexciting and I bet that there is more excitement from a morgue on a dull day then you would get from this game.

    Then there is Bethesda handling of their customers. Ranging with the handling of their $200 dollar Collectors Edition to customers requesting refunds for the game.

    I requested a refund on the game like many others and received an automated response which have upset a great deal of people.
    And I quote,
    "Greetings,

    Thank you for contacting the Bethesda Support Team.

    Customers who have downloaded the game are not eligible for a refund. We apologize for the inconvenience.

    If there is anything else we can assist you with please reply to this email for further assistance.

    Thank you for your patience.

    Kind Regards,

    Bethesda Support"

    First of all, just by downloading the game, you no longer eligible for a refund. I call nonsense on this. How are people suppose to know if the game is good or bad. The only way is to download the game and play it. Yes, you can go to game news sites or watch videos about the game. But there will be a few sites and videos praising how great the game is.
    At least with Steam, they have procedures when it comes to digital games. You can ask for a refund within 14 day and haven't played the game for more then 2 hours.

    At this point, Bethesda is still digging their own grave due to all the anti-customer practices they are doing on a daily basis. Right now, the depth of the their grave has gone past the 6 feet mark and is just going straight down.

    Bethesda needs to sort out all of their problems involving Fallout 76 and it's customers. If they don't, I can see that their next few games won't do so well because of how they handled Fallout 76.

    As for me, I will be more weary on buying any more of Bethesda's games in the future. I will wait a month or 2 and see if the game is worth even buying.    … Expand

Now, it's not only fun to play, but there's a ton to do whether you have an hour to play, or a whole day.

    With the next patches and the roadmap that was provided, it looks like this game is only going to continue to get better. It's definitely not everyone's cup of tea, but give it a shot if you're a fan of Fallout and want to join other Wastelanders in Appalachia. If multiplayer isn't your thing, stick to Adventure mode and stay away from the griefers in Survival.

    Edit after Fo1st: if you're into cash grabs, go ahead and pick this up. Everything is monetized now and the bugs are still prevalent. Don't waste your time as there's tons of other good games out there.

    Somehow this game went from bad, to good(with a ton of potential), but due to Bethesda's greed it's not worth your time anymore.    … Expand

    I have never seen such a sorry excuse for a product-especially one priced at $60. The amount of bugs are insane, the patch progress is horrible, and the bad business practice regarding the $200.00 power armor edition (first ripping them off with a false product and then giving out their personal information to other players) are the results of Todd Howard's game that "just works."

    In terms of gameplay the world feel empty, PVP is a joke and so is PVE. Bethesda decided to let the players 'make their own fun' but haven't even provided the most basic tools for that. The gameplay loop is a grind and the loot isn't even that good. There is almost no incentive in playing this game. It feels like a chore!

The engine is no better than older Fallout games, it's full of bugs, and did not make the transition to an online game well at all.

You can follow a robot for 10 minutes and help it kill a couple super mutants, and your reward will be some crafting trash.

    The best part of this game are the near constant bugs. Server crashes, random items disappearing, and "quests" that simply don't work, are just a taste of the broken state of this turd-farm.

    Finally, when you've realized this game is a half-assed DLC from Fallout 4, and you accept you've been tricked by Bethesda, you can start the process of telling them it's trash, and not what you paid for. Then begins the real fun, Bethesda "customer service". It's the online version of staring into a mirror and saying, "Go screw yourself" repeatedly.

    This game is a buggy train wreck. I've never played a game more buggy than this one. I got this game not really minding if it had typical Bethesda bugs like enemies clipping through doors sometimes or enemies running around with plastic baskets on their heads. However, here are the bugs that I've gotten and most if not all of these have still not been fixed.

    1. Continually spawning    This game is a buggy train wreck. I've never played a game more buggy than this one. I got this game not really minding if it had typical Bethesda bugs like enemies clipping through doors sometimes or enemies running around with plastic baskets on their heads. However, here are the bugs that I've gotten and most if not all of these have still not been fixed.

    1. Continually spawning naked or teammates spawning naked after fast traveling. It's a cosmetic issue but it's frequent and annoying. Once my friend who was playing a female character spawned as a naked man.

    2. Friend requests didn't show up in social for about the first month I played so accepting friend requests was impossible.

    3. Enemies that do not take damage. Ran into a very bad scorchbeast encounter with this issue and have ran across several enemies that do not take damage.

    4. Frequent server crashes. Multiple times I've started the game and joined server only for it to immediately crash as soon as I load in.

    5. One time I got stuck on a loading screen but my character spawned into the world anyway and a teammate who wasn't nearby noticed my health bar going down. I was attacked by something and killed while still stuck on the loading screen. So when the game finally loaded, my corpse fell out of the sky and onto the ground.

    6. A teammate and I entered into one of the mines in the game (just a regular dungeon for those of you who haven't played the game) and suddenly she wasn't there. She could see me, but I couldn't even see her at all. The game was treating her like she was on a different server. So I went to "join" her, thinking somehow maybe I was on a different server. When I "joined" her, she was nowhere to be found. Just a face full of enemies.

    7. Teammates or myself showing up invisible with nothing but a bar above our heads. Also invisible enemies.

    8. Quests that are bugged. I have started an entire quest-line with a teammate and only done that questline with them. Yet, if I sign on to continue it with them another day, suddenly one of us doesn't have the quest anymore even though neither of us had completed it. I also had similar with an event. The event triggered for my teammate and never triggered for me so I got nothing for completing it.

    9. The game almost never closes. It just crashes when you try to exit.

    I'm probably forgetting some of the bugs I have encountered. There have been SO MANY. And the things above have happened multiple times. I am a HUGE Fallout fan and I absolutely regret buying this game. Save yourselves the money. In its current state, it's not even worth buying it on sale. It does have it's fun moments but honestly, every single time I play the game I wind up frustrated by all the bugs. The only reason I bother to even try to continue playing it is because I wasted so much money on it.

    If you're thinking of buying this game I advise you to go and see Worth A Buy's review of this game on youtube. I gave it 1/10 just because of the map and music being good. Everything else is pretty much trash.

    Pros:

    - Map
    - Music

    Cons:

    - Bad servers
    - No interesting/funny npc's
    - No real quests, only fetchquests/following holotapes 90% of the time.
    - PVP sucks and nobody does it
    - No real VATS (can't slow down an online game) ;)
    - No improvement from Fallout 4, just an online version of the game minus the interesting quests and npc's etc.

The Fallout games are highly regarded as key player in the RPG genre with strong narratives, quests and world building across a post apocalyptic wasteland where you have to scrounge to survive its inhabitants. Sadly it falls far short of what is acceptable as a AAA launched game.

    Fallouts gunplay has never been it's strong point, it's always been the narrative so when players began to populate Fallout 76 they began to understand this. No NPCs (Non playable Characters) apart from the various wasteland monsters of West Virginia made the game feel tainted and empty. Quests and side quests are handed out from robotic means such as computer terminals or tape decks and some of these quests would be teasing you to find someone, anyone and the sad part is you already knew they were never going to be there. The main quest is a stick and carrot experience and down right insulting to anyone who came into the fray looking for a story.

    Assets and terrains have been completely ripped out of Fallout 4, many models looking ugly and low textured. Structures that are dull, lonely and uninteresting. Granted it is supposed to be post apocalyptic but it doesn't excuse terribly modelled buildings that could be whipped up in a few hours making the rounds from past Fallout games.

    Technically speaking the game is a disaster. Bethesda clings on to the Creation Engine which is dated and flawed and it shows. Bugs are frequent both Physical and Graphical. Despite the game looking as poor as it does it still struggles with performance no matter which platform you are playing.

    Although this is an online game, do not expect social interaction to come easily. Fallout is a chore when it comes to playing with friends you will have to rely to third party means of communication.

    Over time pay to win features have been slowly creeping into the Micro-transactions for the few players still suffering the game.

    If you would like a game that would overall disappoint and confuse you, by all means purchase this game. If you are on the verge of buying it, please consider your options. it's 2019 and innovative games are coming thick and fast.    … Expand

Sure, I'll admit, within a relative close render distance the land looks decent when it doesn't bug out, however the game has nothing much after you launch nukes.

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

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

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

For example: for some people you will periodically not be able to move your character in the game, you need to go into setting files to change the FPS cap, need to go into settings to remove depth of field, you have to complete every single quest twice because it only advances the story of the party leader (my personal favorite), your character only has to ability to sprint (actually jog) 30-40metres, dehydration is a thing, I think that is about it although I'm sure there is much more. Oh also, sometimes you cant tab back into the game. Please dont waste your money on this game, although it is almost worth it just to laugh at how bad it is.… Expand

    The game at first is OK, overall the game is extremely boring and lackluster. If they copy and pasted Fallout 4 and just paid attention to the multi-player aspect the game would be a lot better. The multiplayer aspect is close to useless. Comparing the game play to Fallout 4, there is close to no improvement.

The current state of FO76 is an incredibly boring and tedious experience, with only the vaguest of hints of an attempt at any story, that includes an extremely terrible PVP implementation (it probably is the worst player-versus-player experience in the entire video game industry. There are markers telling you where every person is on the entire world at all times and to "fight" you have to both walk over, shoot each other 1 time to challenge each other so there's no surprises or excitement possible, and only if both people do that can they start fighting.)

    The player-versus-environment experience is no better. There are zero NPCs in game other than a few vendor robots who stand still and do nothing much. The non-existent story is just some random text on computer consoles, like bad writing from the dregs of fanfiction dot net. Enemy AI is so bad that it can't escape the worthless story by being a good combat game. Enemies will run helplessly face-first into a tree for 5 minutes while you shoot their hand. Defense missions will never end because enemies are running into walls instead of even making it to the objective. I've never had one single engaging, difficult or fun fight in FO76. Every single one was either mindlessly easy, with auto-aim at the press of a button, a backpack of 30 instant heals and the AI that's too slow to ever catch a player who wants to just kite them or it was a tedious bullet-sponge affair where the enemy was still absolutely terrible but had 50,000 HP somehow because it's level 40. If I had infinite ammo, I could kill a level 100 enemy at level 1 in FO76 because the enemies are incapable of any real combat, the only thing they have is a big HP bar. The current game has worse combat than a free flash game on a shady adult website.

    Progression system is terrible just like every single other thing in this mess of a game. It feels like there's 3 total weapons if you theme a character (like revolvers, or rifles, or laser guns) so it's an MMO with nothing at all to actually do. None of my characters in actual good games such as borderlands 2 have ever felt like there were only three total weapons. Actual non-FO76 games have hundreds of weapons or variants with different stats. FO76 you just scrap 500 combat rifles and then click a few times to instantly get the one best combat rifle, so there's zero actual hunting and min-maxing for gear. Bethesda has no clue whatsoever how to actually make an MMO game. Like day 1 world of warcraft ten years ago actually had hunting for gear which FO76 lacks since you just get XP and make whatever item is wanted.

    There's no endgame at all. Once you have whichever of the three total rifles you want and have a full set of perks, you just have infinite money and nothing worth doing with it. The game is already lacking any difficulty at all, so there's no real cash-sinks to progress towards. There's no player economy with trading because the game has no items that people would want to buy. They can already beat everything with the basic crafted one.

    All the multiplayer really does in the game is mean that it's the only modern fallout game where bethesda's terrible game design, terrible programming and terrible art design cannot be modded into something enjoyable. Some companies like Creative Assembly are guilty of releasing bad games that they use steam workshop to have modders change into good games without being paid to do it. But bethesda has removed even that possibility, ensuring FO76 is 0/10 at launch and will never at any point become a good game in the future. It would require a complete rebuilding of the entire game engine and the entire economy and the entire combat system from the very ground up. The chances of that happening are zill. So this game feels like a disappointing ten dollar mod to Fallout 4. It is no surprise that very few people are happy if they were tricked into thinking it would be an actual video game.    … Expand

    Gaussian blur everywhere, you'd think your character requires prescription glasses or something...

    The game also uses holotapes/robots instead of human NPC's to deliver the story... and they are boring as hell, it reminds me a lot of the questing in world of warcraft back in 2006.

The game itself doesn't add much from 4 besides the multiplayer aspect (as with DS R). That with the fact that the game barely runs compounded with the $60 price tag is pretty horrendous. I am just another voice in the crowd, but my complaints have their merits. This is a game that should have been half price to be even considered for purchase on launch.
