    All information between the game's server and your computer is unencrypted. It is actually dangerous for you to play this game, as any other player can use this information to find out your physical location.

    Ok the business model for this game is just wrong. But I don't get people complaining about the lack of story/gameplay. Back in Fallout4 the story was boring and fetchy. I loved the game for scavenging stuff, weapons modding, crafting and building. All of these things are here in 76, so from my point of view it is a fun, fresh experience. It really comes down to what you play Fallout for.Ok the business model for this game is just wrong. But I don't get people complaining about the lack of story/gameplay.

I do it for the sense of loneliness, the crafting, the weird monsters, and such. If you play this with your friends, it's a gem. If you were looking for a story-driven 1.0 Fallout experience you will surely get disappointed.
    Moreover, Bethesda confirmed support for the game throughout 2019 so it'll just get better and deeper. Just give it a chance!    … Expand

But now, a few weeks after launch, and Bethesda has mishandled everything about the game with scandal after greedy scandal. Banning players left and right, refusing to fix bugs, failing to update the graphics, and literally ripping off their biggest supporters. Bethesda has completely failed in showing self-awareness and awareness in what the actual fanbase wants from the game, and has lost all my respect and my respect for Fallout 76 in the process. Do NOT buy this game, do NOT support Bethesda.… Expand

    No more preorders for bethesda from now. For me at least. For that price they had a capability to make a great game but they ruined it. My advise would be start making demos for their games to avoid so much hate form the fans.

    This game is not finished. They have not implemented any gameplay features beyond killing scorched, ghouls, rats, or super mutants that each have a different number above their head. The only difference in enemies is their level. You can't use certain tire irons or baseball bats until you've grinded the game for enough weeks to surpass level 50

    First off I have to say that I'm a huge fan of both the Fallout and the Elder Scrolls series and as a fan I must say that this game was such a big disappointment, it had so much potential and they just pissed on the entire series with this game.

    This game has none of those things, it's just a cashgrab and shame on bethesda for releasing this pile of garbage.
    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.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I played Fallout 3, New Vegas and Fallout 4 they all had stories, some had better ones some less good ones. My point is that the "story" in Fallout 76 isn't really existing. I had no desire of following it.
    Then there are the many bugs i already had, and that even after the game finished beta which is there to find the bugs and get them out of teh game, but even after the beta ita had more bugs than Skyrim and Fallout 4 together. I liked the online feature which is the only reason I gave it any points at all but after about 20 hours of playtime I got a bug which kicked me out of every friends list and I couldn't even send my friends a friend request to get them back on my list/to get me on their friends list again. At this point I lost all hope in this game and stopped playing it after a last hour of playtime. There was no interesting story to follow without friends and there was no fun with friends.
    I think Bethesda can do much better than that, shame on you Bethesda.    … Expand

    quite honestly the worst fallout ever played. its entirely dominated by a few players who do nothing but play/glitch to reach high levels and farm explosive weapons. if you try to ever use the workshop system be prepared for players who will come and destroy everything and rob you of caps simultaneously.

    This game is one of the most blatant cash grabs I have ever seen. Bethesda's reputation is destroyed after this travesty. I will never buy another Bethesda game, I have never seen a game Company lie so much and then release a garbage product with a SCAM EULA so people can't get refunds. There should be lawsuits brought against Bethesda for fraud.

    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. At least I didn't buy the Collector's Edition (definitely don't waste your money on that).    … Expand

You were told by Bethesda that they were trying something new, wouldn't be Fallout5, was to be a online MMO, and you are all so surprised?

This version feels very much like an abusive relationship & I honestly know from my past how these turn out for me. I really want to love this title and there are many things to love about it; the land is wonderful to look at but does not render when you zoom in on it. The structures you can build look nice and feel like they are yours but you are going to fight with the build system to make your structure. There are so many new things to find but no explanation is given on what the Mods do and most of them don't even state what item they mod or even how to mod your items... There are heaps of new creatures to encounter but they move in ways that just are not even close to realistic, sometimes not even moving their limbs but still able to easily "glide" after you. The lighting is wonderful unless you are seeing light rays shine through a mountain as the sun sets behind it or notice the glow of a light that does nothing to light up an area or just random light boxes that turn off or on because you are standing on one side of a doorway or other. The sounds are really nice and the environment sounds rich but then you look around to see the birds that are making noise and there are never any birds there are birdhouses that have been constructed around the place and even small setup where the time has been taken to show that someone was making and painting these birdhouses. And not just the missing birds but the radios that are spread around the towns are playing copyright music that gets your videos demonetised and you lose revenue because of this and you can't change the radios to music you may own the rights to because that just is not a function and the radios are tied directly into the "sound effects" so if you want to not get copyright strikes on your youtube you have to play the game with no sound effects.. Why is this even a thing? The map is massive and there is so much to explore and you hardly see anyone and that's really nice but if someone does walk into the area you are in every enemy respawns and you have to fight them all again and if that person is a higher level than you then good luck your about to get owned by all the enemies that will spawn in at their higher level.
    I really wanted to love this game and I got it the first day it was released but I just can't play it anymore. I am level 39 and I am hating the game. I fight with the build mechanics and bad menu system to make a base around the workbenches to have the server kick me and I lose all my resource I put into building my area up around the workbench. My building is never on any of the servers again. In the middle of a battle, the game pulls up my weapons wheel when I am in combat? I am told this happens to so many other players. I love the little things about the game but overall I hate this and if I was a first-time player I would never buy anything from Bethesda after this and I would want nothing to do with any of the Fallout titles. This game is just broken and each time I play it on a Friday I am finding I am hating it more and more. Fix your game Bethesda I know you rushed it out to get the Xmas dollars, now mostly only hackers are playing your game. Oh yeah, the issues with hackers are getting worse. Able to kill you even though you don't fight back to finish the PvP activation. 1 shot your dead? So much for a good time. I am so mad and sad about this I don't even have words to say how much this title upsets me without swearing in many combinations of filthy words. Someone or many people need to be fired due to this poorly rushed game release. The head of Bethesda should step down! On the other hand, some of the level designers should be promoted it's only because out for eye for details and design did I stick out the game for this long. Oh, and the microtransaction store can F right off! Never would I spend a cent more EVER! Don't buy this game unless you plan to let it sit uninstalled until 6 months or a year have passed so they have time to fix the game.
    Do not buy this title. Save your money and your loving Fallout memories of other titles. This game should not currently be played. It's bad and makes me feel sad and abused.    … Expand

    Any opportunity to be immersed in the game is quickly dissociated with a myriad of glitches or even basic game mechanics being poor. To be specific, every "cool" fight I experienced was ruined by my ability to avoid the boss or whatever monster by getting into a small area they cannot reach or even perceive me which I then proceed to enjoy the least immersive fighting of my gaming life where I shoot a hunting rifle until I'm out of ammo into a monster twice my level's head.

    It didn't take me long to give up on this game, I have an insane amount of hours from fallout 3 to 4, especially 4, and what killed this experience for me was some stupid golf course riddled with ghouls which are one of the few mobs that drop no ammo but somehow make you waste an immense amount and so I eventually just couldn't deal with the grind of killing them with absolutely no loot reward while wasting my resources consistently trying to avoid the fight entirely.

    I'll be honest I quit on this game early, but holy jesus... the quality is just nonexistent. This is a game for people who want to roam around and enjoy the atmosphere with no care for lack of immersion (to each their own). After fallout 4 and its beautiful community of mods I was spoiled with high expectations but this game didn't even meet the lowest expectations. This is no doubt a flop and my first actual review... ever... I made this account just to stress my disappointment with a franchise I loved. Not to mention the severe inability of bethesda to properly support their community.... seriously, you can't change your username without making a new account.. I even wrote to them and explained why I needed a new account name.. but that was unreasonable apparently.

    If you want to enjoy fallout go back to fallout 4 and just mess around with different mods that bethesda doesn't even sufficiently support. It doesn't deserve a 0 because it would likely be an amazing game without the massive amount of glitching... like how am I supposed to enjoy fighting a dude phased through a wall.. or frozen in t-pose and not even shooting? But again, the atmosphere is fairly beautiful and walking through the game is absolutely enjoyable until you are completely disappointed by the garbage fighting that takes place again and again, assuring you that it isn't something you can ignore and push away just because you love the franchise.. at least I couldn't and I almost always side with the franchise giving them the benefit of the doubt... but I just couldn't ignore it for this game.

    Sorry Bethesda,

    You botched this... obviously.    … Expand

    TL;DR - Honestly If you liked Fallout 4 then you'll probably like this. Seriously, try it for yourself and make up your own mind.

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

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

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

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

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

I'm not sure I can even say I'm disappointed, because this was where things appeared to be going eventually with Bethesda's take on the franchise. Bethesda's writing was never its strong point, with their takes on the Fallout universe, in particular, falling short in comparison to the likes of Fallout 1, 2 and New Vegas. With Fallout 76, they've virtually abandoned it altogether, reducing literally all storytelling to reading scraps of paper and listening to audiotapes. It's simply staggering that Bethesda made these design choices, and leaves me with little enthusiasm for any other titles they are due to produce in the coming years. I might come back to 76 in a year but probably only if they finally put proper NPC's in it because a Fallout game without real characters (and no, I don't value random encounters with a handful of anonymous players as an adequate replacement - I shouldn't have to make my own fun from scratch in a Fallout game) is simply an empty, literal wasteland of content.… Expand

This game feels just like what the apocalypse should feel like, an empty wasteland. The world design is very detailed a lot of thought was put into exploration. Lots of neat things to find and explore. If your a "completionist" this title is for you. I should also add there is a lot of good game design thought put into this, harvesting resources is instant (no stupid little timer) makes it nice and quick. UI and controls are well thought out. Only negative comment I have is seeing other players on the map could have been handled differently, maybe it should be optional to broadcast your location...… Expand

Marketing filled with lies when no effort went into this game. Meanwhile it has fully functional micro-transactions at disgusting prices.

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

    First of all, the world is truly a Fallout world, with many interesting places with a fantastic authentic atmosphere, it's even better and bigger as in Fallout 4.

    But what is that kind of idea to not implement any NPCs or real quests? Ok, Fallout had never a quest depth like Witcher, but what is that an idea to not integrate NPCs in that nice world? This does not make any sense to me, the world is big, but it's completly empty, you can get quests only via reading terminals or playing tapes and the quests are boring and not worth to do them. You can see so many MMORPGs with NPCs and nice quests, so this point is manageably.

    I like the crafting and collection mechanism of Fallout 76, but everyone gets pissed off because of this stupid storage mechanism. Why has the main chest a maximum capacity? Why the character has so low capacity? I checked Fallout 4, even with Level 1 you have 230 capacity. Why hair clips and also ammo weight something? You have to through ammo away because you cant put it in the main chest. If you like to sell 1000 steel to free your chest, you can't do it because the traders will give you 0. This game is not finished, that is my intention.

    Next point PvP, WHY? I only say WHY? It is the worst implementation of PvP I have ever seen. The point is that no body does PvP currently, because it is senseless. Better implementation would be to give PvE and PvP option before searching a server. On PvE there is no PvP or stay it like it is currently, but for PvP there shall be same level ranged players placed on the server which can't see each other on the map, so you have to listen to guns etc. You shall also get a bonus for killed players.

    Even the controlling of factories/plants/trash dumps is a nice idea but the implementation of the feature is bad. You can build defences but If you quit the game everything is lost.

    I like the survival idea, but it is easy to satisfy so this feature is also boring.

    I suggest to play Fallout 3 or 4 again and have a look later on Fallout 76. Bethasda released an unfinished game with bad ideas, so they have to give a lot lot lot of free content and expansions to make it a valuable game and get the repect of the Fallout community again.

    The AI still suffers from lag and enemies sometimes disappear from the map entirely; Looting enemies doesn't work, when they were shot with a weapon using fusion cell as ammo.

    It is mostly unplayable for me because in most areas, including all indoor places, it does something I've never seen before which is that it constantly slows my fps down to about 30-40 for a few seconds then snaps back to 60, like it is trying to constantly fight its way through molasses. My Radeon software shows that what it is doing is constantly dropping my gpu usage down to 0% then back up to 95-100%. It also randomly CTD. It still even crashes every time I exit the game even though they said they fixed it in a patch which they didn't. It has horrible hard-lock lag stutters, constant server problems where it says it is having trouble communicating with the server and locks the controls in place until it recovers. It has a constant high ping. It has countless glitches and bugs during gameplay. Constant server disconnects. They took a copy paste version of the Fallout 4 engine, somehow made it look uglier, and somehow managed to make Fallout 4's combat feel horrible. It feels way more clunky, unresponsive, and just bad.

    They responded to my ticket describing all of my problems with a generic copy paste response and said they weren't planning on doing anything to specifically make the game run any better. They want to bury this one in the dirt and I don't blame them. Hopefully Bethesda has to shut down and sell their games to a real actual game company.    … Expand

    At first I felt excited to get out and see what Bethesda had made, to explore, build and do quest. But rather quickly the game over all felt empty and dull. Everything I had hoped for was missing and was instead replaced with thins I had hoped would not be there.
    This game contains so many badly developed thins on so many levels its hard to get any enjoyment out of it at all. Thins from how the melee systems hit-box is from a bad 1998 game, to the terrible sound location system were it will sound like all the enemies in a dungeon are kicking you in the ear at once, from every direction. Not to mention how demanding this game will be for your system. I run it on a GTX 1080 ti and i still experience ridiculous frame drops in certain areas.
    You will spend most of the time being frustrated over game breaking bugs and unstable servers.
    All these thins I could accept, from a small INDIGAME-studio perhaps, but not from this multi billion company that is Bethesda. The game should be called a early-access game, and the price players had to pay to play this game is absurd.

    To summarise, this game is all in all just a big disappointment for fallout fans. They brought with them all bad thins from fallout 4 and added a few more game breakers on top of the already huge pile of dirt that this game contains.    … Expand

    I've had a great time playing this game and i still am. It is not as bad as people say it is. And i didn't play with friends a third of the time i've played it and it was still fun.

    This is without a doubt the worst game I have ever paid for. Bethesda should be absolutely ashamed with this abomination. This is coming from somebody that put over 1,000 hours into Fallout 4 (probably a couple hundred un-modded.)

The map is beautiful but there's nothing in it. I genuinely believe that if the game added NPCs and some meaningful quests it could become good. As it stands it's just painfully average.

Fallout for many of us has made its way into our living room with hard earned weapons and loot filled with emotions stories and heart warming characters that flesh out the monotony of "grinding". What was a well polished gem of story lines hard decisions and morally heavy choices has now been thrown backwards by flat characters. The idea is a good one where i found myself enjoying time spent with friends feeling tension build as we develop certain skills that come in handy. In a team someone can specialize in lock-picking one with safe cracking and hacking while crafting can be another's contribution. In the early hours that was exactly it. As you progress dedicating yourself to a skill set was no longer necessary the skill based system is in a word "broken" being able to swap skills mid mission make the grind one person worked for a useless task. The reward of grinding was dropped in my opinion with a buggy quest rinse repeat system that only provides compensation to levels and your experience bar. The reasons we enjoyed fallout are all absent in the version. The NPCs are flat and dull as the informational cards you get to read while waiting for take off. The base building is bland and allows for little more than convenient spawn points which in most situations is still a system that means you spend the first 15 minutes of your mission running and making small talk while getting no major tasks done. Quests are a series of "get those and go here"s which in prior installments meant you would find yourself wandering and happening upon four other quests, this take a fallout's usually well thought out quest system was as exciting as a trip to your local market store searching the shelves for a can of water chestnuts only to realize that you hate water chest nuts the entire time. Within my 50 hours and near 46 levels of grinding on new fallout game i have few memorable moments. I would actually find ways to keep myself entertained while doing missions from watching videos to listening to audio books. All in all i think for a 60$ asking price this game at most would be worth five dollars on a mobile platform like on my phone... This is a step backwards on everything that Bethesda promised us with this release and has made more concerned for future games from the once promising studio.… Expand

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

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

Fallout 76 was something I looked forward to since they announced it. Then the beta dropped and I thought "Oh this is rough, guess they'll fix it like they said they plan to." But I've been playing it since launch and all the main elements are broken, and the absence of live NPCs (which used to bring flavour to the world) just makes the game so lonely that those broken elements get fixated on. The PvP is broken and so unbalanced, favouring the attacked player in every fight. Which even if they win the attacker gets nothing but scrap and then gets a bounty which makes them open to being attacked by anyone but unable to damage anyone until they get a hit on you. The end boss is pretty close to unkillable in the allotted period when you're a higher level due to having a couple hundred million health. The servers are constantly crashing, my frame rate is usually terrible, frequently I need to switch servers just to get a temporary bump in frame rate.
    Honestly, I really want to like this game and I know it can be good, but it isn't right now. It's a buggy mess that is nowhere near what was promised. If you haven't bought it yet don't. They have a lot to fix, they can do it. But until they do, don't waste your money.    … Expand
