    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

    I just asked Bethesda for a refund. I did not participate in the Beta so this review is based on the game at launch. The underlying mechanics of this game are almost identical to Fallout 4 which is both good and bad. I really enjoyed Fallout 4 and don't mind too much if Bethesda reuses that model for a new game.

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

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

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

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

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

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

    The building mechanic is horrible! I need to find plans for everything starting with rugs and ending with turrets and that's not the worst of it - Since you change servers when you log off, all that you've built in a particular spot is lost! I'm talking about workshops and not the stupid CAMP.

I need to find plans for everything starting with rugs and ending with turrets and that's not the worst of it - Since you change servers when you log off, all that you've built in a particular spot is lost! I'm talking about workshops and not the stupid CAMP.

    I only use the camp to build a stash and a crafting station because I AM CONSTANTLY OVERENCUMBERED! You constantly and I do mean constantly need to work on your inventory, I enter a small building which is not even marked on the map and when I leave I need 15 minutes to sort everything out. This had no relation to fun on roleplaying or anything, this is just atrocious. I only have 4 weapons which none of them are heavy machine guns or missile launchers and still I'm getting pawned my the carry capacity. My stash is also full now and before you start - All my junk is scrapped before moving it and I only have 3 power armor frames stashed.

    I have encountered 3 broken quests at this time (which is no more than 15 hours playing) - "Bureau of Tourism" which I have a link to a video capture I've made and the "Ounce of Prevention" quest where I literally have a floating quest marker which leads nowhere in between the two houses at Greg’s Mine Supply, unfortunately I didn't capture this one but you get the point. While Reddit were giving me the 24 hours of authentication time, I found another broken quest "Initiate of Mysteries" which I linked to a video I uploaded to YouTube.

    Enemies popping into existence out of nowhere - Happened to me so many times I don't even know what to say! You finish ridding the world of critters or ghouls or scorched and while I'm exploring the place, they respawn, I mean pop in right on top of me! Same level! Same loot! Same everything!

    Quests that just force themselves on my screen constantly! I just walk past some place and somehow my character knows to go in and look for something? Fine. But I DO NOT want that in my face on the HUD immediately, plus it produces a quest marker which confuses the f*** out of me and I've walked in the wrong direction before realizing my mistake too many times!

    And lastly, the world feels so empty and lifeless, I've never been so bored of first impressions! I literally forced myself to play 5 hours just now, and from crafting bench to stash box to broken quests to lifeless quest givers (If any at all) - I gotta say I've NEVER BEEN MORE DISAPPOINTED IN MY LIFE!

    This isn't worth the money, I would much rather put my money into Hitman 2 or RDR2.    … Expand

    ich finde FallOut bringt nun endlich Survival, der auch Spielbar ist.

    Was ich mir noch wünsche:
    - Fensterramanbegrenzung wenn man mehrere Monitore hat.
    - Ein und Ausschalten können von Schärfentiefe und Bewegungsunschärfe
    - Wichtig - Tastatur sollte alles frei belegbat sein, auch zum beispiel die Menüsteuerung im PipBoy.
    - Dauerhafter Clan, ohne Vorteile dadurch, es ist einfacher als immer einen zu haben bei dem alle nachladen müssen die Welt.

    Was mich begeistert:
    - Sie haben es tatsächlich geschaft eine PvPvE Balance zu schaffen und man wird nicht einfach nur Trashmop für gute Spieler. Danke dafür...
    - Ein Spiel und Serverstart der funktioniert hat und bin überzeugt dass die Stabilität weiter ausgebaut wird.
    - CAMP-System ist sehr gut umgesetzt...
    - Ichs tehe am Anfang und weiss jetzt schon, ich kann noch viel erleben, dass ist super...
    - Gute Arbeit und viele positive gute Umsetzung, da könnte sich noch viele Entwickler was abschauen.
    - Tolle und gut vertonte Holobänder, cool, (Inmal finden würde aber reichen, Smile ^^

    Hätte noch vieles was man Positives schreiben könnte...
    Macht weiter so und lasst es auf keinen Fall im stich das Spiel, es ist ein sehr gutes Spiel und was man hier ja nicht sehen kann, wer spielt das Spiel wirklich und wie lange.
    Diese Negativen bewertungen sind nicht gerecht dem Spiel gegenüber.

    Ich habe hier jetzt einfach schreiben wollen, weil ich von den negativen Sturm gehört habe, sonnst hätte ich garnicht geschrieben.
    Denke viele Leute die auch spielen sind vom Spiel auch überzeugt und wollen weiter Inhalt bekommen, Updates und Spass haben.
    Und mal Ehrlich, sind ja nur etwas über tausend bewertungen und logisch sind es welche die Düpiert sind, ha ha ha...
    Wie viele Spiel wurden verkauft?
    Ich hoffe einfach nicht, dass sich die Magaziene und Spieletester zu diesem Negativ stehen wollen, nur weil sie vor der Community, welche ein kleiner Teil aufschreit, die nicht auch noch bei sich haben wollen mit Negativem, wäre nur peinlich.

    Herzliche Griessli

No Human NPC's and very little carry weight and storage weight not enough for a game that requires you to collect lots of scrap it fills up fast and you don't want to drop anything as you need it to craft and build so your left with no option but to stop exploring and just sit on the junk you have. thePlayed for a few hours and the world is empty, boring and has very repetitive quests.

The PC port uses the same controls as the console and they didn't bother changing it i used a xbox controller so luckily wasn't effected much by this. I recommend staying clear of this to make a statement that developers cant keep dropping half baked games broken games with little to no substance as this has been getting more and more frequent from triple a developers and is not acceptable just for a cash grab.

You will likely see cheaters as there is no prevention for this and you need a pretty beefy computer as this game is poorly optimized. I had a Intel i7 quadro 3100m, which is never had any trouble with any modern game titles except this game. I had 8 - 12 fps and my mouse kept jumping all over the screen. It was unplayable. Luckily I was at work and we have some powerful Titan powered PC's, but even with all that raw power it slowed down during massive fight scenes.
    The story has been taken out and you no longer make game-changing decisions like in previous Fallouts, and it feels like a MMO without the engaging quests. You are often told to go somewhere then return with no real story, but i digress it is a nice world if your computer can run it.
    I would not reccomend this game even though I really want to, I love fallout but this is a huge step back.

Alone, I get to delve deeper into the lore by really paying attention to the holotapes and reading all of the notes. It doesn't "just work" quite yet but give it until they release the first patch and it'll be air tight.… 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

I have 1200 hours in Fallout 4, and I don't think I could put 100 hours into this title.

The hate from people who have actually played this game is real, and OMFG is it deserved!Bethesda doesn't have a 'review' function, so I am resorting to this website. Don't believe all the BS that fallout fans are bombing this game simply because it's online, or they don't like the look of it without playing, or some other BS to assure you that only the crybabies are reviewing this game. The hate from people who have actually played this game is real, and OMFG is it deserved!

    Let's start with bugs:
    You expect bugs from a BETA, right? Of course you do, it's a BETA! The problem is that not only are these bugs rampant and horrible, but the BETA didn't even have a month, and after full release the bugs are still here in the full glory! Pete Hines and his buddies at Bethesda have promised many more bugs to come, and this would be okay if we had a long early-access/BETA period, but the game is fully out already. To make things worse, Bethesda games being buggy has not only become a long running trademark, it has become their unofficial slogan.

    The story:
    When you start the game, you wake up after the vault party and everyone is gone, so it makes sense that as you go about the vault that you feel late to the event and everyone left the vault without you. The problem is you will get this feeling throughout the entire fecking game... There is no more excitement in the story as you will never meet anyone from the billions of holotapes you are forced to listen to, and you will never encounter new and quirky characters who give you a new quest. It's recording after recording after recording after recording after recording after recording after recording. You won't be doing a quest and encounter a vault full of Gary clones, you won't have to make decisions that affect the story or quest, you won't get any real surprises.

    The big issue for many, Human NPCs:
    Without Human NPCs this game is dull and boring as hell. Almost 40 square Kilometres, and only 24 human players to fill it. Human players who usually treat this game as a full MMO. This means, don't care about interaction beyond friends and squad, story doesn't really matter, and Bethesda's stupid pipe-dream of everyone taking up the roles of human NPCs with stores and interactions is a joke. It's a nice idea, but was more of a lazy decision to rush out a game and have it so all the story is delivered via recordings. This won't work outside of private strict roleplay servers, and will *NOT* work on a massive map with not even 1 person per square Kilometre. The server capacity for this game is a joke as even early-access indie games such as Rust have more players on the servers. I mean 40 square Kilometres with only 24 people and no Human NPCs for a fallout game is just a terrible idea...

    General gameplay:
    Ranged combat is sluggish, unoptimized, and just plain terrible in 3rd person. Unless you are shooting at long range, you will find aiming to be a pain with guessing how far to the side you have to aim in order to hit. Throwing knives are buggy even in 1st person at short range and with perfect line of sight to your target. Hit boxes frequently fail to connect with your attacks, and ranged attacks hitting seem to rely on RNG mechanics more than any other MMO I have played. The most exciting thing that is likely to happen during a trip is maybe a pack of glitchy dogs attack you. C.A.M.P is pathetically disappointing. All I do is move to one area, kill some mobs, and go to the next.

    Conclusion:
    The way I see it, some people at Bethesda wanted to make another Fallout game, and they had a meeting. In that meeting person NO.1 said " We want to make money with this game, how do we go about doing that? Ideas, go!". Person NO.2 replied "Well one thing we could do is cut Human NPCs out of the game and have all quests delivered via recordings. Also server capacity should be limited to 24 people, the map should be stupid big, and let's fill the world with mobs and a few boss monsters". Person NO.1 "Sounds good, should rake in millions, who cares about what the fan-base really wants?!".

    The weapons and armour have been expanded, nice survival mechanics. The graphics are great! I don't know why people are complaining about that, we don't need a giant leap in graphics for a game to be good. I loved Fallout 3 and NV graphics, and I loved the newer Fallout 4 graphics, and what Fallout 76 has isn't new, but it's just fine. The amazing map, with amazing locations to explore is fun to go about killing mobs and looting their corpses, but that's all you'll do...

    This game is just a generic bare-bones explore and kill mobs MMO with Call Of Duty server player capacity, lot's of mind-numbing audio recordings, lot's of bugs to enjoy, grindy as hell mechanics, and 40 square Kilometres of beautiful boringness to explore and kill mobs for XP and measly cap rewards. This is just a bland lower player capacity MMO that isn't really an MMO, that has a fallout skin slapped on and blessed by Crinja, so that little Fortinte kids will want to play it    … Expand

    With Fallout 76, it seems that Bethesda has stripped away the aspects of the game that made it worthwhile, and lazily left in everything that made it so frustrating and broken. Even most of the bugs and broken mechanics that were in Fallout 4 initially are still here, along with a slew of new issues. The game just feels like garbage to play, and it looks like a total mess.

I have wanted an online fallout for so long and hope Bethesda bounces back with some major updates to the game but fix all the bugs and update the graphics and its still a lifeless husk of a sandbox with dry story delivery via recordings of people already dead

    Game: Advertised as 'rebuilding the wasteland' with you and your friends being the ones driving the stories as the NPCs in a post apocolyptic world.

    Delivery: This means there are no NPCs. They want us to be the NPCs but give us absolutely nothing to work with but an empty map devoid of soul. 24 players is nothing on such a large map when you expect them to be taking the place of raiders/traders/interesting NPCs. If they are squads that means youve got 6 small clusters of people who, based on the pattern of in game, probably wont ever attempt to interact with you.

    Catering to streamers aside, Bethesda seems to expect those memorable interactions that you might get from an MMORPG community with hundreds online in one consistent world all in their Fallout 76 which is closer to a pickup loop of PUBG where nothing you do matters and the game feels more like "lets go play a few rounds of kill the robots" vs "lets go get lost in the mad max esque apocolyptic world of fallout"

    There is just no incentive for co-op or pvp. Absolutely no reason to take up the trader life or stay in any town (and despite everyone hoping there would be some form of vendor you can put stuff up on at the least, we have to resort to having to trade face to face with a clunky UI) On the flip side, theres no way of really being a raider due to how pvp works and the general lack of people, no less people who want to pvp. There are no hubs save for your C.A.M.P. but even that does nothing to add to the feel of the players 'rebuilding' or creating their own towns as it function is more of a temporary item dump/repair location you can throw down.

    You will max out the C.A.M.P housing budget on a 2x2 structure with only the bare minimum crafting benches/turrets and if your lucky, around 3 decorative prop items like a grill or small bookcase.

    Nobody will ever see any rebuilding because of the budget limit as well as the inability to build near premade structures. Which include towns. So as an "NPC" am i just supposed to stand on some premade raider looking wall and hope to make your game more interesting for someone else?

    The stash limit is filled on basic scrap. But you also need scap for repairing anything and base building. You will have room for a few extra guns (or one heavy gun), and the inevitable 'uniqes' that cant be deconstructed. Also some backup water.

    Combine the fact that you have no base building budget beyond the required and your stash is filled by lvl 20, the incentive to 'rebuild' goes away very fast. Or rather you have experienced all the rebuilding that can be done.

    Add to that that your base is stored when you log off and theres nothing to stop anyone else from building in that area (thus preventing you from building nearby). Or the fact that there is no permanence or meaning for a C.A.M.P beyond ones individual need for a quick loot drop/repair spot to throw down as needed.

    There is a solid chance you will lose random chunks of structures and benches when the game stores your base however. And you probably wont get it all set out how you had it. Especially due to anything not part of the main structure being stored individually.

    Nearly all pvp = one side quitting the world just before/after they die and world hopping for a server with people who actually want to pvp. Again, we are supposed to replace raiders? There are more raider corpses in one camp than all the players on the map and even if we had a group going, that still requires everyone else on the server to play along and somehow happening to be close to each other and not just quitting to another world when they get shot at which is primarily what seems to be happening.

    Srsly. I can have a pvp workshop claimed with a bounty, leave to make some food. probably take a shower and run some errands, come back and find not one of those handfulls of player had come even remotely to my vicinity.

    What is even the point of scavenging or taking pvp workshops when our stash / inventory is full and our base budget is capped anyway? Kill robots for more lead so i can craft bullets to kill more robots?

    So. What now? my stash is full and House budget is maxed out on crafting tables and 5 turrets. i cant really build anything that would be neat for other players to interact with or see, but theres also no real reason to explore. i have the gun i want, everyones dead, everything is done. Ive also got enough food and water by my base that nobody will ever see, despite it being in the open across street from a town and robot vendor.

After all, if you don't have real NPCs, you don't need to worry about endeavouring to write decent dialogue.

    I truly hope the overall response to FO 76 proves to be the wakeup call that Bethesda so desperately needs. With Fallout 76, they have truly completed their fall from grace, and they need to understand that.

    Instead, allow me to give you some context. Firstly, I have played and beaten Fallout 4 and all DLC, with a modest 85 hour playtime (no where near what some might sink in), but it is fair to say I enjoyed it in spite of its many flaws. I also love survival games as a genre, with Subnautica being one of my all time favourites. And feel free to check my profile, this is the lowest score I have ever given a game, as I genuinely feel it deserves this rating. I am a fair and positive reviewer, and it is sad to say that I really think this "AAA" game has been fairly and generously rated by me.

    I don't usually post reviews so close to a games release, and I certainly don't usually give negative reviews. But, this review is warranted, this is not a gut-reaction to "Change", that a lot of games get unfairly criticised for. I was really excited for the survival aspects and base building aspects of this game. But they have truly misunderstood what makes those games fun and rewarding.    … Expand

    Take it from someone who actually owns this game (unlike most review bomz) it’s insanely fun. And if you can find it for a slight discount then even better. Money sells spent. No monthly fee.

    If you hated fallout 4 then this isn’t for you. If you loved that game you’ll love this. The added elements are exciting as heck.

    It's not a perfect game and no Todd howard isn't god. it is a solid addition to the BGS catalogue, especially for a first foray into multiplayer gaming. If past games have been any indicator the community and the Devs will be addressing most if not all the issues. Well except it being a multiplayer, which seems to be the biggest complaint, even if it is truly ignorant.    … Expand

    Every time Bethesda releases a game, I'm reminded of how bulletspongey both the pc and enemies are in their game. Thankfully, fixing that is a 1-minute mod in any previous Bethesda title. Here that's impossible (or cheating, take your pick) and everyone feels spongier than ever. I would think the inability to save would add tension to the game, but so often I'd get in a fight with a higher level enemy only to find that they hit like the butterfly that gets picked on at the butterfly gym.

    I've never been a "well it's actually a X but I'm giving it a 0 because messages," sort of guy. But while I get that this game has more good about it than Ride to Hell or an asset flip, those games manage to be in fun in a "look how bad this is!" way. I kept waiting to get into a flow with this game, but kept being reminded of how much worse it was than a 3-year old game. All that makes for a gaming experience I regard as one of the worst in my life. If it were a little worse, it would be so bad it's good. Instead, it just sucks. In my book, that's a 0.    … Expand

    The game is an empty broken shell of Fallout 4 - dated graphics (dated even by 2008 standards), astonishing bugs, and worst of all - no story, no purpose, no reason to play. The game doesn't even feel like a new game - it feels like someone tried to create a mod to Fallout 4 and abandoned the idea after 30 minutes of trying.

    Fallout 76 is a game that attempts to be something different from its predecessors. Unfortunately, that leads to 'loss of identity' and 'more technical difficulties'.

    The Outstanding: * The world is massive and active effort is put in to diversify each environment. [10/10] The Good: * You can hang with friends and goof around wearing a pink dress! [8/10] * The visuals and the    Fallout 76 is a game that attempts to be something different from its predecessors. Unfortunately, that leads to 'loss of identity' and 'more technical difficulties'.

    The Outstanding:
    * The world is massive and active effort is put in to diversify each environment. [10/10]

    The Good:
    * You can hang with friends and goof around wearing a pink dress! [8/10]
    * The visuals and the scenery are at times really pleasant. [7/10]
    * 'Enemy variety' is more than any other previous entry. [6/10]

    The Bad:
    * Introduction of microtransactions through 'Atom Shop'. [4/10]
    * The game has those typical Bethesda bugs, and these are compounded by Bethesda venturing into the online world for the first time. [3/10]
    * Some basic obvious features are missing at launch; i.e. push-to-talk button, FOV settings, key-binding issues. [2/10]
    * Shooting mechanics are not the best. As in, if you are an FPS player, you'll find this to be very very average. [4/10]
    * Most quests (40 hours in) are "Start➡Locate➡Shoot➡Loot" and based on who you are, that can get boring early on. [2/10]
    * No actual incentive for PvPing other than 'wanting to'. [2/10]
    * A specific PvP style that requires following an 'honor system'! And can be exploited in different ways. For example:
    Player A attacks B. B takes very little damage. B puts on the best gear and weapon and almost one-shots player A. [2/10]
    * Lack of general polish. Presumably due to improper or limited testing. Example: Long holotapes (5-6 minute audio tapes) that you need to listen to without getting disturbed. They surely hadn't tested this in a multiplayer environment.) [3/10]

    The Ugly (things that would infuriate fans)
    * The game uses Creation Engine, which seems inherently flawed for an 'online' coop game. Example: FPS is tied to your in-game speed. [1/10]
    * Some issues and bugs that existed in the past 2 installments and were reported ad nauseam and even made news, are still present in this game. [1/10]
    * No human NPCs. This changes the DNA of this Fallout game drastically, if not eliminate it completely. [0/10]
    * Lack of 'mods' which is one of the main attractions of any Fallout game. Obviously 'mods' can't be introduced to public servers. But "there won't be any mod-supported custom servers until November 2019 at the soonest" based on Pete Hines, vice president of Bethesda. [0/10]

    Rating Average: 3.5

    Summary
    Bethesda has tried something new here. Regardless of their intention, they have created a product that focuses on something that is not their strong suit.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    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.

    The fans of Bethesda really didn't deserve this, this game is really below standard, both in terms of gameplay, but also in terms of technical issues like glitches, bugs and server timeouts.

    It's just infuriating to play this game.

    I don't get why this is getting review-bombed so bad. I've only had time to play this a few hours so far, but my initial take is: I must be really lucky because the game is not a stuttering buggy mess for me. Either that, or I'm living in some alternate universe than the ones and zero scorers.

    Fallout 76 is far "prettier" than Fallout 3, Fallout 4, and New Vegas because the color palette isn't limited to mud, ochre, and grays. It is also a different game from earlier Fallouts due to how leveling and perks work. Oh, and also, the occasional non-violent other Player Characters I run into (not a single one has been aggressive to me) that's different as well. The other big "raise the stakes" difference is: no time slowdown and no save files.

    Given those differences, it does still have a similar look and feel to its predecessors.

    My "first impressions" review score is an 8.5.

    I cant quantify the amount of sheer disappointment, i knew i should have canceled my pre-order. The game, if you could call it that, is among the worst quality I've seen in 20 years of gaming. Don't waste your time and money on this. Buy red dead 2 you'll have a much better time.

    Going to point this out instantly, a majority of the good reviews are found unhelpful and people arer spam clicking the like button on 0 or 1 reviews because... they are sheep that dont know how to form their own opinion?

    Only reason im not giving it a 10/10 is cause of some bugs and can be hard to try and play this as a solo experience

    But honestly, this game is great, people are jumping on the hate-wagon without having to experience it themselves. Lets say for instance, I just watched Angry Joe's First Impressions and didnt play the game. I would probably agree with everything he said, but because i actually played a fair bit and indulged myself into the game, i felt like i could disagree with a fair few of his points. Its a shame that everyone is hating on a game they havnt even tried. Im saying this due to making a post on the reddit and people commenting they think its the worst game, but have not even had any experience with the game

    Onto some things.

    "there are no NPC's!". There are NPC's, there arent "human" NPC's as of yet. You still get quests, you get them off robots, holotapes or notes. That sounds boring right? Its the same on previous fallouts, just no humans to interact with. Thats where the multiplayer comes in. out of the 25+ hours ive played so far, ive came into contact with 1 griefer which wasnt the worst experience, and it was only say 2 minutes of my time gone. Most players are friendly, at least the ones ive come in contact with

    "Stash box has little space!". Now, if you ever played Fallout 3, New Vegas and 4, you would be able to have 2 companions right? 2 companions in these games have roughly the same weight limit as that stash box.

    "The game is buggy, a lot of latency". Ive dealt with worse games than this, compared to Fallout 4's Launch, this game is nothing. I also played with a friend from America, in South Korea using a VPN to Australia. My latency issue? the only thing i couldnt really do was melee on a server from the other side of the world, but my bullets would hit perfectly.

    The way I see this game is its like Destiny, but open world with Events, decent quests and interesting monsters.

    The game would be a 10 for me if it wasnt for its flaws

    I dont find the game empty at all. If you find the game empty, its because you ignore every quest given, sit behind other fallout players and just observing them and not communicating as they take in all the fun and just want to find a reason to sook. Every corner or 2 there is some form of enemy unlike Fallout New Vegas (which is my favourite game, but just pointing out emptiness in games)

    I have only dulged a little into the story, which so far sounds better than Fallout 4's story in comparison. side missions are fun and interesting and so are the events that you can join in anytime that its up.

    My main issue is as a solo player (Ive spent probably 4/5's of my time playing with friends), its hard to get into, you may find someone using a workshop and you cant use it, or someone is at a vendor and you cant use it, or you go do a quest in an area and someone has already been there in the past 5 minutes and all there is are corpses. Those are my only issues with the game as a solo experience

    For a multiplayer perspective, its a fantastic game
    For a solo perspective, it has its flaws, but its still very enjoyable

    Dont listen to the reviews going for 1 or 0. A majority of these people are **** on the game just because they heard its a bad game from 1 or 2 critics. On that note, I have ran into many players that say they are loving the experience. This community is a joke and would believe that 9/11 was CGI if they watched a few videos on it    … Expand

Hey Bethesda...well done...I am applauding you for spending money on a useless project which will die in dark...As a big fan of the whole Fallout series, here you just screwed up all key features and killed all reasons why we loved Fallout. And do you think, that the only reason for buying games are a graphic modes and brand? Kick out of the door Tom with all his stupid ideas and sell the brand to somebody who will do the games for gamers and not egoistic useless ideas. BTW... I want my money back. You promised game and fun. And I received a simulator of walking through the boring but quite nice looking nature, without story, without quests, without NPC and even worse...without reason to play.    … Expand

    Bethesda didn't release the game on Steam or Gog for a reason. i can't blame them. As a hardcore fallout fan i've played it in beta and after release, the game is still an ugly buggy mess.

    Have a brain and don't trust those payed shills that gave it a 10. The game itself would deserve a 4, but their shady tactics deserve a 0

    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.

    It is a shame that Fallout 76 is currently being bashed by bandwagon fanboys. First, let us get something straight. You have not played Fallout from the beginning if the first Fallout game you played was 3. There are three Fallout entries before that. Second, Fallout 3 and after are not true representations of what Fallout was. They are great games. But, they are merely games that are setIt is a shame that Fallout 76 is currently being bashed by bandwagon fanboys. First, let us get something straight. You have not played Fallout from the beginning if the first Fallout game you played was 3. There are three Fallout entries before that. Second, Fallout 3 and after are not true representations of what Fallout was. They are great games. But, they are merely games that are set in the Fallout universe. Third, stop basing reviews solely on what you expected because of your experience with Fallout games since 3.

    Ok, there is no linear story that holds your hand and tells you were to go. You're given a world and told, "Go, Play." If you need a linear story that gives you the sense of "I got to the end, I'm a badass!", this game is not for you. If, like me, start up all Bethesda games and say, "Screw the story imma do what I want!", you will enjoy this game.

    The game is beautiful. People who say the graphics are terrible are full of it and may just need to consider upgrading their rigs or configuring it properly. There are some bugs, yes, but that is to be expected. If you really want a simulated experience of living in the forest without any glitches, stop playing video games so much and go camping. I've read about people complaining the blur effect. Let me ask you, is your peripheral HD quality? No, you have to actually look at something to see it clearly...and guess what happens in 76 when you have your cursor on something.

    The fact that you get the majority of the information about the world through documents and terminals is a great idea. Why? Well because you're in a post apocalyptic world and most people are dead. Did you expect to come out of the ground and it be Disney World out there? It should be worse than the dark ages. Come on, it's going to be lonely.

    And that brings me to the amount of players. I like that it is not like Elder Scrolls Online and that it is not a king of the hill game made by the player base. Low play count on servers means that it still feels like a solo wander through the waste if you want it to. But you can hit up friends or make new friends to help you with the adventure that you make. I highly suggest trying the game by grouping with a friend or two and say, "Hey, let's go...um...there." and see what you just come across on the way. It's great.

    In the end I believe this is a great game and the majority of bad reviews should be taken with a grain of salt because most of it is written by overly critical gamers who are looking for the flaws because it's not the same as the 3d Fallout's that have come out prior. Like I said, if you need your hand held in a game and pointed in a direction, this game is not for you at all. If you enjoy finding your own path and exploring just to have a good time, you will enjoy this very much.    … Expand

    One of the best multiplayers this year. Nothing can compare to the fun i've had playing this game and with friends makes it a thousand times better (unlike most toxic fallout fans). This is a true fallout game and i've been playing fallout since the 1998, yes it might be different but what's the fun in playing the same thing over and over again, grow up.

    Der Neue Teil Fallout 76 ist einen Neuen weg gegangen der etwas abweicht aber nicht wirklich schlimm ist wenn nicht das Problem bestehen würde das es nur ein Aufguss von teil 4 währ und sogar Bugs und Fehler aus Teil4 hat. Das SPiel wirkt unfertig und so Plump als ob die Entwickler das Game selbst nie gespielt hätten. Es hatt eine Ordentlich Thematische tiefe und Atmo die wirklich gut ist aber das war es auch schon. Basenbau gleich null aber wir sollen ja Amerika wieder aufbauen! Eure Kisten stark begrenzter Platz kennt man nach der Atomkatastrophe ja nicht Hamstern den man lebt im Schlarafenland wo alle paar Meter was zum Essen und überleben rumliegt. Fallout76 ist ein verusch von Bethesta neue Wege zu gehen aber leider fliegen die Entwickler und das Spiel alle paar Meter auf die Schnautze ! Abhilfe ist jetzt wichtig doch seit dem Start von Fallou76 kommt nichts neues vom Entwickler !    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Okay first sorry for my bad english but after reading so many negative hate critic on this game i really had to write my sight of view about Fallout 76. As a Fallout Fan wich played all of the Games of the Series i can say Fallout 76 is a nice Game with a fresh concept.

    So People calling Rate 10 Reviews here as paid or Fake? Try to do so with mine. I can say 100% im writing this on my free will and dont get paid. Im just a Guy that keeps its distance to have a clear view. But what i can say the many negative Reviews here are just angry that they didnt inform themselve much before buying the Game or dont even have the game and just jump on the hate Train because all they can do is spread nonsense and hate. The Number of negative Reviews here you can easily ignore 3/4 of them because they are no helpfull at all and just trying to make the game look bad over here at Metacritic.

    People complain about an empty World and no NPC interaction in Fallout 76?
    Sorry Folks but Bethesda already stated that "WE the Players" are the ones to be interacted with each other and take place of the NPC in the Game. If you cant interact social with other Players than Fallout 76 isnt a Game for you.

    Performance?
    The Performance is okay for the Engine and its getting optimized everytime. Have patience instead of rambling around....i can play the Game without any Issue on Medium Settings...

    All in all, i Enjoy playing the Game, seeing the fate of different NPC that died trying to keep West Virginia a.k.a. Apalachia a safe place until the Vault 76 People comes out. Its a great Enviroment Storytelling wich makes me many times sad about how the people there tried their best but failed to keep themselve alive. Some even knew that this could happen and prepared everything possible for others to come and take their Places.

    So all over here: Dont think about Fallout 76 as a RPG in its normal Fashion Way, its a more SOCIAL Sandbox with much Enviromental Storytelling, no interactable NPC Humans (only Robots)

    YOU as a PLAYER take the Role of a interactable "NPC" if you can socialize...many cant...thats why People here are just mad that Fallout 76 doesnt fit in for them....    … 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.

    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]
