    I was awaiting this game, and that despite of all the hate around it. I liked Fallout 4, and i was pretty exciting about a multiplayer version of this game. And i am very disappointed of the result ... I'm not mad against what is the game now, but for what it could have been. There was so many ways to turn Fallout into a really good multiplayer experience, and this one doesn't work.

    The main problem of the game is not his bugs (even if this is a shame to release a game full of bugs with the same price of RDR 2 ...), it's his heart.
    It's like if bethesda didn't carry his balls and made an unassumed version of their successfull game. This is neither a good MMORPG or a good COOP game, however they try to put the maximum of multiplayer contents in their game like if the quantity took precedence over quality.
    This is not how you do Bethesda. You have to make a choice, choose to make a Fallout CO-OP, or a full MMORPG but not a **** mix of the two games.
    I really hope they will learn from that and wont do the same mistake anymore. I have been refunded, but i hope they will at least work on the bugs to show a minimum of respect to those who bought the game 60$.

    Thank you, now a quick reviews of the good and bad points of the game :

    + Map size, and how it's done
    + Diversity of it
    + C.A.M.P. original idea ...

    - ... but done the wrong way
    - 2010 graphics
    - PVP is horrible
    - SVAR vision , seriously ? (That's basicaly an aimbot in a multiplayer game)
    - Tiny stamina (at least at the beginning)
    - Useless hunger/thirst bars
    - Poverty of the history (if we can call that an history)
    - Some perks are useless (very very useless)
    - No NPC
    - Tons of bugs (including the CAMP reseting if there is another camp near to yours)
    - A lot of things in the world, but soon enough you realize it's pretty empty

    I really feel bad about this as i used to love bethesda productions ... But this is a shame. Don't buy it if it costs more than 10$.    … Expand

Like, they did everything they could to bring in elements that the community was actively shouting that they didn't want, all while ignoring taking corrective actions for all the requests the community made from Fallout 4.

    Bugs that had been in 4 since launch made their way into 76. When 4 launched, most people were very vocal about their displeasure with NPC interactions being pre-recorded and bland, so in 76 they just took away NPC interactions entirely.

    In favor of what? Nothing says immersion like server disconnects and some random a-hole shouting at me over his mic and punching me in the head in the first five minutes of creating my character.

    There is just an absolute truckload of bugs and disappointments in this title which the community can't even fix, which is traditionally how all of those problems got fixed.

    I LOVE Fallout 3 and NV and even 4 holds a special place in my heart, but this is really quite bad for a multitude of reasons. People are voting it 10s because for some reason they're so brainwashed into the brand they feel the need to defend Bethesda, but I just don't understand how they can't see how obvious of a cash-grab this is?

    It's just an enormous disappointment and as a huge fan of the last three it makes me super depressed. It's more of a world I want to play in, presented in a fashion that makes me absolutely hate it.    … Expand

    It's a complete disappointment and cash grab. They threw in the cash shop before even rolling out any fixes. It's early access that will break your wallet. There's a reason the Critic Reviews are silent, cause they know if they tell the truth about how terrible it is they wont get press passes from Betheda anymore. Give it a year and it'll be fixed if it's even still around.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Premise: I'm a 33 years old father of twins. Not an heater nor a kid. I've played all fallout games since the were isometrics and I really loved them. Back in the days when I was a studente at law university, Fallout 3, was my favourite game to play when I've got some spare times (so sad:-)).
    I have read a lot about Fallout 76, seen a bunch of Youtube videos about the beta and my eyes couldn't believe how trash this game appeared.
    I was litterally shocked how they ruined a perfect formula.
    I've prordered the game hoping the final version would be better.
    No way.
    Terrible graphics with lot of artifacts and glitches (the engine is really outdated), sometimes it stutters at 2K, with GTX 2080Ti, unaccettable!
    No dialogues.
    No NPC.
    The world is really empty! You have nothing to do except going from point A to point B, collect items, killing some monsters. No Plot, no quests, no history.
    The multiplayer side is even worse. Empty. Collabo is 0. Only group of bad painted survivors pointing their guns at some monsters.
    For me is a no go. If I could score less then 0 I would. Is not for the money (litterally stolen) but for what they did to my beloved FALLOUT.
    It is a havoc that should be withdrawn from the market.

    I resent the money I have spent on this as Bethesda simply do not deserve it for the shell of a game this is - it is almost like a picture puzzle where someone has just completed the outside edge and then thought `job done` and left the center empty.

    Recycled assets, an elderly engine, and a mundane plot. I found myself bored, some area's were well designed. Overall I would not recommend. I have 1200 hours in Fallout 4, and I don't think I could put 100 hours into this title. I hope Bethesda can put work into the bugs here, but I will await their next title and leave this one alone after my time with this one.

    - The UI is tied to FOV. No slider because of this.

    - Progress can be lost easily from server disconnects.
    - Uninspired story, given through lifeless audio logs (which can be several minutes long and cannot be paused)
    - VATs is completely broken and doesn't belong in the game at all, basically just an auto aim system that at best, snaps to enemies and at worst is immersion breaking and breaks the laws of physics to bend bullets.
    - Nonexistent anti-cheat/scripting protection
    - No push to talk, mics always on no matter what
    - Game isn't on Steam so you can't refund it AND you have to use Bethesda's launcher. Disgusting

    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.

    PvP is "Enabled" but you are only punished for it. 'Pacifists' Take 2% of the damage you deal, and every hit generates wanted. Once you have wanted, they deal full damage to you while remaining invulnerable.

    I've yet to see anyone but my group of friends in non-pacifist mode. Once you have wanted generated the pacifists can murder you from pacifist mode, dealing full damage to you with actually no risk to themselves.

    My party ganked a group of two (The group we ganked was level 10, we three were all level 8), and it actually devolved down to us standing in a triangle around one of them (theres 3 of us) and hitting them with melee weapons for 2 minutes until they finished complaining about how pvp is going to ruin this game, then logged out.

    Not including the time we spent ganking them before we realized we actually do no damage, 2 minutes of constant melee damage, from 3 players, and they still just logged out to avoid the pvp (they weren't even in danger of dying). About 10 minutes later we had someone else roll up to assist us with an event, he one tapped one of our players, then returned to the event while me and our other friend who were still wanted attacked him.

    He said he was taking very little damage, but neither me nor my other wanted friend even saw his health bar as we attacked him. This too, devolved to us hitting him with melee weapons to conserve ammo as he went about finishing the event. (It was a hold out event where we had to defend against waves of scorched, he took more damage from the scorched than us, but we wouldn't have known that had he not been saying it over voice, we couldn't see his hp bar as we attacked.)

    After he finished soloing the event while we hit him, he turned and killed my other friend. And I just walked back to my camp that wasn't very far and logged out. This was a terrible experience, not in the slightest bit enjoyable.
    I don't understand why even 'allow' pvp if you're not going to allow pvp. If they wanted this to be a PvE game, why even allow someone to disable pacifist mode?    … Expand

Be sure to close Vats first or you can't run away..
    - Switching weapons mid combat is far more difficult than it should be.
    - There is no real 3rd person view. You will not get a better view of what is around you so, it's first person or... don't play, I guess. Disappointing.
    - Starving to death while you're afk or doing things with perks is kind of garbage.
    - The perk system itself is clunky and underwhelming.
    - My game crashed 3 times in less than 3 hours, and no, my computer is not the problem for that.
    - I had an issue with the game code and the customer service I received was terrible. A copy/paste of something from the help section that i'd already read and didn't help me. Still waiting on their next response. I don't expect to get one.
    - Lack of anything at all for new players who have not played a Fallout game before. I have over 700hrs into FO4 and I was even confused by some things.
    - Menus can be difficult to find.

    This game needs another year in development.
    I would also suggest different servers for different types of play.
    -Casual servers with no starving to death issues.
    -Moderate servers for what the game has now
    -Hard servers for those people who enjoy a difficult game.

    Fallout 76 is the worst thing that could have ever happened to the Fallout franchise.

    The story, an essential part of every prior Fallout game, is made completely uninteresting by the fact that instead of a branching, unique story where your actions affect the outcome, you are presented with a static sequence of terminals and holotapes that tell the story of what happened in Appalachia.    Fallout 76 is the worst thing that could have ever happened to the Fallout franchise.

    The story, an essential part of every prior Fallout game, is made completely uninteresting by the fact that instead of a branching, unique story where your actions affect the outcome, you are presented with a static sequence of terminals and holotapes that tell the story of what happened in Appalachia. This is due to the fact that 76 is completely devoid of human npcs, which often in itself spoils the story, because the best thing you could ever find at the end of a quest is a corpse and a holotape. Gone are the days of making interesting decisions and actual roleplaying like in previous Fallouts.

    The world, while 4 times as big as Fallout 4s, feels empty. The lack of human npcs also makes raiders impossible, instead you always either fight some weird animal that doesn't do anything or ghouls/scorched (which are basically the same thing, but the scorched sometimes have guns). The enemies simply lack any personality. Also, locations are very far apart, so you have to walk, sometimes for 5 mins and upwards. This may not sound like much, but these minutes add up to multiple hours just spent walking.

    The gunplay is absolutely terrible, it has barely improved since Fallout 4. In fact, with the necessary changes to make V.A.T.S. work in real time, the gunplay has gotten worse. V.A.T.S. is simply useless, it is always slower and less reliable than aiming, but aiming is also hard due to the stiff controlls and abrubtly changing animations of the enemies.

    Those were just a few of the things that make the game as terrible as it is, there are more thigs, like the disgusting "atomic shop", Bethesda's **** premium currency store for useless cosmetics that should have been free to begin with, but I have neither the time nor the will to list all of Fallout 76's numerous flaws.

I was hoping the game was going to be a good pvp game. But there is almost no pvp only duels this is so stupid why can't they have pvp and pve servers. If there was more players and better pvp this game would be one of my all time favorites. Fallout 76 tries to be a good multiplayer game but it fails at that. It is more like 24 people playing a 3/10 solo game. Fallout 76 could of been great but it failed in multiplayer and ruined a good single player game.… Expand

    There was an attempt, but there may as well not have been.

    Fan of fallout since 1997, didn't like 4 and this takes everything I didn't like about that game and focuses it.    … Expand

    They took everything that loved and cherished about Fallout, and removed it. That about sums it up. The people, the story, even the setting were all put aside so they could reuse Fallout 4 assets and make Rust out of it, which, just like this already is, is a buggy game built entirely on the premise of griefing everyone around you.

    They had to know this game wasnt the multiplayer they tried to push in the trailer, its all about killing each other and one-uping. This is lipstick on a pig and it needs to be taken to slaughter.

    If they put in NPCs and/or made private servers this game could maybe scrape by without leaving as large of a brown streak on their reputation but as it is this is a cheap money grab game and makes me question the direction of Bethesda.    … 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]

    An unfinished game with bifurcated identity and in an almost dysfunctional state. It's hard to build on a bad base, that will never change. Like the war. [Issue#292]
