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

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

    Your game sucks bethesda. make a new one you lazy slobs..    … Expand

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

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

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

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

    I've played nearly every game Bethesda has put out - and this has to be the ultimate culmination in absolute garbage.

They existed in almost every iteration of Elder Scrolls, they existed in Fallout 3, Fallout 4, yes they were in Skyrim and yes they were in the first release of Fallout 76. And yet 2 yrs after release....they still persist! Utter incompetence on a grand scale the likes we have never seen before.
    With the hype of Wastelanders - I decided to download FO76 one more time and try my character out, nearly a year since I left. Ladies and gentelmen....it took just 10minutes of playing for me to want to bash my computer into a pulp with a baseball bat -- that's how frustrating these errors are. 10 minutes and that's all it took.

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

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

    I wanted to like this game, and the gameplay is great. But too many disconnects and it has too much of a impact on the game. If you die you have to respawn then go to pick up the junk (Your loot) which is the mainstay of what you need to build better stuff. But if you die then disconnect, it's gone.

    I gave it a 1 because it was at least free (for a weekend). Over a year since launch and this game is still a mess, it is primarily a first person shooter but the combat is completely broken, enemies not taking damage, enemies shooting through walls and more, the list is endless. It’s such a shame because I love exploring the world and the lore.

    Shameful garbage. Just trash.

    First, I didn't play this game. I couldn't. I bought it for my kid, and I thought I'd try it when she was out with her friends. I play Fallout 4 a lot, so it's not like I'm starting from zero. So I created a character - which took about 20 minutes to get perfect - and then the selfie thing was a mess (you need to take a profile selfie). After about    Shameful garbage. Just trash.

    A buggy desolate wasteland. Quests quickly become more of the same, doing dead people's bidding. It had it's moments, but it's not worth $15, let alone it's AAA price tag. I'd say pass and save yourself the money.

    But theres a catch, they were either expecting a huge backlash and were prepared for it or they simply did not give a damn and said bleh, "true fans" will still buy it and enjoy it, let them "rage"

I would be impressed if this was what the team were hoping to go for but I doubt it was. 2- The fighting is poor and jerky/laggy. 3- Things randomly disappear and pop back in again. Trees, buildings, people... Half way through doing something the thig just... vanishes so a conversation is stuck or you plummet to the ground because the building you were on isn't their. If you survive the fall, you're then trapped in the basement as it phases back in. 3- What kind of story is this? There almost is no story. It's wake up alone, go outside not being able to collect much on the way, wander around a bit picking up a wee mission or two. Done. Nothing about that is any good. The suggestion that this could be played as a single player game is... erroneous. 4- Where the flip is everyone? Where are the NPCs? I get its a radiated wasteland but seriously? 5- The weapons and armour 'degrade' very quickly. This is one of the cheap ways that the franchise is trying to milk money from people no doubt. 6- It's art is very bland. These are just a few of the complaints and I will be applying for a refund.

Everything in this game is as terrible as the engine. Todd, find the courage to resign! Stop raping Fallout.

    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]
