    So far I've gotten to level 55 and taking my time. I have encountered a few disconnects and some graphical bugs here and there and some frames dropping. But the game is great otherwise. I'm continuously finding new quests and events to do.

    This game suffers from the worst flaw of any game. It's boring!

    Of all things the only thing a video game is supposed to do is: be fun!

    And yet, devoid of any substance or complexity, this game is just waiting for a modder to come along and make it actually good.

    I really didn't like Fallout 76 when I was hearing news about it (mainly from ItsAGundam), but eventually I took the plunge to play the "Beta" and suprisingly I found myself enjoying it, it was fun to explore the world and find notes and recordings that slowly explained what happened to all the people.

The problem is that I don't think the game will be fun anymore after you've explored all the locations ans found out all the notes and stuff since in previous games you could go down different dialogue paths and be a different kind of character.

    Some problems that really need fixing are things like adding a push to talk button, which I hope players can strongarm Bethesda into adding.

    While I don't care about them adding an fov slider, they should allow manual ini editing to allow you to change the fov that way instead, it gets around them not wanting to add a slider because of animation and clipping issues, but allows people who are okay with the odd floating arm they might see to stop having headaches after a while. It sucks that they are locking people out of this one tweak.

    Stash size is probably the biggest problem, pretty much everyone who plays fallout has a huge collection of cool and unique things they've found while playing, but with the stash size limit in 76 it forces people to only have a few weapons, armour pieces, health items and junk to be used for building. So you pretty much just have to have one set of items you carry with you at all times, and have your junk and a few other things in your stash. It really limits what you can do and also forces you to play a certain way since you have to constantly worry about how much stuff you have even when you have already cut back on what you have.

    Traders caps pool is another problem, They only have 200 caps to trade with, they only have a small percentage of the caps you give them when you buy something too, so you will always run out before you've finished. it doesn't seem bad at first because you get only a few caps per item you sell, but after you've levelled a bit and got some better gear it quickly eats up the 200 caps pool. They also share a pool of caps with other traders within a certain area, so if you build a base between two traders like I did, you quickly find out how useless that is. traders also wont buy certain items like ammo and building plans, which is annoying because plans and ammo also have a weight value, so you either have to hope you run into another player who wants to trade, wants what your're selling and also has enough caps to buy from you, if not then you may aswell throw the ammo away because it will just cut down your weight limit.

    Private servers now. Bethesda promised that they are going to be adding private servers at some point, but they really should have been in from the start, The biggest potential from this game is going to be the roleplaying aspects of playing with other real humans, Having a private server full of players dedicated to a true roleplaying experience, building settlements together, creating their own factions, having raider groups and building their own shared story in the fallout world. It sounds awesome. But right now you join a random server and chances are no one is actually pretending to be part of the world, heck most players don't even talk because they have to have their mic on all the time or not at all. there's also the chance you're going to be hearing some guy watching the TV whilst chomping down and some crunchy snack whilst their character is just standing still, then there's the people that will just attack you for no real reason, it ruins what could be the best feature that saves the game for a lot of people. Private servers are needed as soon as possible.    … Expand

I can understand this game isn't for everyone and it has bugs, the graphics aren't like god tier; but I don't think this game justifies such huge negativity just because it doesn't fit everyone cookie cutter expectations. I bet most haven't even played the game enough to give it a chance. I'm already level 51 and when I was level 42 I seen a level 84 already. I been to 3 nuke zones and its a lot of fun roaming around with groups of randoms killing mobs, its only annoying with trying to get loot off the dead enemies because it seems randoms that participated in hitting the enemy can take the same loot so you could end up with nothing after the kill. I rarely met game breaking bugs other than the disconnects and game crashing, which in some terms ended up me losing junk after dying which is frustrating, also lost an item a legendary quest item at Mama Dolce's Food Processing Event Feed the People; which Bethesda can't help replace. The game shines for those that like to loot, hoard, explore, and fight with somewhat of a survival struggle; like the odds are against you and your level 20 killing level 50 scorchbeast. There does need to be quality of life additions, fixing bugs, balancing/nerfing/buffing perks, items, etc. A big negative for me is the storage capacity. I end up wasting all my time managing weight and having to drop stuff just so I can fast travel, because I like doing the events for chance at blueprint or legendary item. I met a person that hasn't fast traveled since they were level 12 and been over-encumbered to 1200+ weight. This game has Fallout Universe feel to it, but it does lack the choices = impact like in older Fallout games and somewhat in Fallout 4's ending. But, who knows maybe Bethesda will open up vaults and the world gets populated with vault dweller npcs and people will still complain. I feel like this game is niche, in that its for specific people that would enjoy what this game gives, and it might be fun to non Fallout fans that like exploring, looting, and casual survival aspects. Since, I'm level 50 I have so many quest I have yet to do because of looting and exploring I still need to do. I think if Bethesda lets us pause holotapes so we don't have to replay them because of someone talking or noise from fighting, let us have push to talk and push to mute, let us favorite perk cards so it makes it easy to see favorite perk cards to swap out in situations, give us backpacks and more stash inventory, add some npcs to make the world feel much more alive, like I really want a city to explore (only place that feels like it is Greenbriar hotel and its full of 1 line robots), and other quality of life patches then I feel like this game will be way better.… Expand

    There are absolutely no redeeming qualities to Fallout 76. I've been a longtime fan of Bethesda going all the way back to Morrowind. I've watched over the years and the quality of their games have been ever so steadily dropping, circling the drain as their RPG mechanics are stripped out or dumbed down and their stories are simplified (and cease to make any sense (For a point of reference,There are absolutely no redeeming qualities to Fallout 76. I've been a longtime fan of Bethesda going all the way back to Morrowind. I've watched over the years and the quality of their games have been ever so steadily dropping, circling the drain as their RPG mechanics are stripped out or dumbed down and their stories are simplified (and cease to make any sense (For a point of reference, I'm in the middle of doing a near full analysis of Fallout 4, the first video alone was two hours long and it very much looks like the next two videos will be equally long and that's not even counting the DLC))

    Fallout is a series that has a place in the heart of many gamers and it isn't simple brand loyalty. Fallout has become an established series rooted deeply in player choice, characters, world building, storytelling and it's RPG mechanics, something Bethesda has tragically stripped out from each game. The change of format from an Isometric RPG to a first person one isn't a game breaker for Fallout, however removing everything from Fallout that MADE it Fallout is.

    Fallout 76 presents a vast and empty world, in which there are no characters and nothing to do but wander aimlessly. No characters = no story. While there are in fact quests and a supposed main story, they essentially boil down to generic tasks for you to complete while any attempted semblance of story is crudely vomited at you via drawn out audio logs. Without characters in the world, there is no investment in completing quests as your actions are meaningless to the world and exist solely as vague "things" to keep the player busy. All quests are presented by a holotape, a computer terminal, a note or a dead body and they all end in the same fashion or just at random when you complete the objective. Many of these quests will also just dump random "loot" items into the player's inventory upon completion, even if the goal of the quest was to find a cache of loot anyways.

    Bethesda must have taken the criticisms of Fallout 4's story and dialogue system seriously and their solution was to just remove them entirely. All you're left with is a world full of loot to aimlessly gather, enemies to shoot at and raising your character's S.P.E.C.I.A.L. for no real reason.

    To top it all off, Fallout 76 is a buggy mess as well. I have no idea why fans of Bethesda have let them get away with their buggy games for so long, but prior to the release of Fallout 76, it had become a meme and something people joke about, but ultimately have given Bethesda a pass on. There's already countless videos out detailing the many bugs, glitches and errors. During my playtime, I had enemies fall through the world, dead enemies floating mid-air as physics stopped working and numerous enemies teleporting about just to name a few.

    The game was laggy during my entire playtime as well, there was constant stuttering and pausing and near freezing. This made the game near impossible to play, especially in combat, as it made aiming at any enemies about 10 times harder than it should have been. There was at least twice I thought the game had frozen or crashed.

    Speaking of combat, most of the enemies I encountered didn't do too much damage. If you let them pick away at you, they could kill you, but otherwise they weren't much of a threat. I know there are more enemies in the game, but I only encountered just a few in my 3 hours of play. Weapon and armor durability is back, much to my surprise and as much as I disliked it being removed from Skyrim and Fallout 4, I wish they hadn't added into Fallout 76, as combat is already a chore. This is made worse by the fact that you need to access your Pip-boy to switch weapons if one breaks. This is also an issue when you run out of ammo and need to switch weapons. As this is a multiplayer game, the game does not pause while you're in a menu, meaning as you're scrolling through your Pip-boy, which is still a pain to navigate, the enemies are still hitting you.

    In addition to all those reasons for combat being awful, weapons and armor are now level-gated like an MMO. It makes sense for World of Warcraft to prevent a level 1 player from equipping an item that gives stat bonuses meant for a level 120 character, it doesn't make sense for Fallout to have this as well, even in a multiplayer setting. This essentially forces the player to use the awful Pipe guns straight from Fallout 4 for the early game. This also leads to situations were you can't strap a metal bracer to your leg as armor because you're not a high enough level, which is just plain silly.

    In addition there is a microtransaction shop, complete with virtual currency and a scaling pricing system to buy this fake currency for in-game items. I don't know the exact exchange rate on these "Atoms," but as far as I can tell worthless outfits your character can wear will cost a few bucks each and odds are, you won't get much use out of them.

    Out of room to say anymore.

We are meant to find out what has happened in the aftermath of the Great War. Now I would love to see NPCs added into the game and I think this could be done with little effort. Think what if a new Vault opened up and you had to help the people of that Vault create a settlement which will turn into a social hub, think the tower in Desinty.

    Quick hits:

    Pros:
    The world - Fallout 76 has a huge world with something new around every corner
    Base building
    The loot - the loot is great I love the blueprints
    Crafting
    Level / Perks - This is a perfect system for this style of game. They just need to make to so you have re-roll your S.P.E.C.A.I and maybe add on endgame leveling system, think ESO online maybe???
    Multiplayer
    Enemies - a good divers raid on enemy types.
    Nukes - it's a cool way to create a harder zone

    Cons:
    This game needed an upgraded / new engine
    Lunch bugs - this feels like an earlier access game.
    Quests need to be better

    Now, This game is not a perfect game. Server Instability tends to be the worst issue I've had playing this game. I've run into the issue of being kicked out of various exploration places only to be placed outside again, still missing ammo and medical supplies, and having to start over. It's not a great feeling, but I never expected the launch of a huge game like this to be 100% Stable, and I've only run into two server crashes in my entire playtime. So it's annoying, but not awful.

    The Textures are ripped straight out of Fallout 4, not really a bad thing, but save for a few texture differences on some enemies and items. It's very much Fallout 4.

    The Biggest thing I think this game has going for it so far, is the environmental story telling, taking it slow and steady, you can get a feel of how some of these homesteads fell apart, and what some people's last moments might have been.

    The Building does feel a little bit of a step down from Fallout 4, mostly because everything has to be connected to bases and walls, and clipping through other items isn't allowed. However, this is probably mostly just to do with the fact the camps can be moved whenever, and dropped into new zones, so the buildings sort of had to make sense. The camp also seems to spawn the items from the ground up, so having them connected makes sense. You can still make some whacky buildings though, it just takes building and removing foundations and messing with Ladders.

    As of this review, the Stash Box you have, can only carry 400 lbs of stuff. Not 400 different items, 400 LBS of stuff, so its' like a stationary extra inventory slot, that eventually can be filled and not accept more items. This is somewhat aggravating for those who like to pick everything up and scrap stuff. But the developers also added a way to condense your materials down into lighter bulk loads if you have a tinkers bench and plastic.

    The Perk Card systems fun to mix and match, though sometimes you'll just get unlucky and not get nice cards from your packs. This can slow down stuff a little, but if you keep at it, you'll get everything your wanting.

    Overall, this is a pretty average game. I hope Bethesda continues to support it, so that they can make it better. So I'm giving it a 5/10. It's very Average, it' is fun though, and I'm hoping things improve from here.    … Expand

Bugs/Glitches even Heavy breathing because of a non existant push to talk system, Not even a chat system. The 'BASIC' online game systems 'Do Not Exist'. PVP I'll leave you to google how stupid that is.

    Now I've been lucky enough to have grown up with the computer industry starting with a zx80, zx81, zxSpectrum, amiga, commodore , etc etc Games like 'Attic Attack, JetSetWilly & Sabre wolf.. etc.. These were part of my childhood and I really enjoyed them.

    I was just 'UTTERLY' ''BORED'' so I decided to start a new character and try again, and guess what? I WAS bored 'AGAIN' This is an Alpha release at best not full AAA.
    I made a decision to ask for a refund (which I didn't think I would get on the 17th Nov) it was approved and I have a full refund.

    This is a SHOCKING game and should never have been released in the state it is atm. Todd should be sacked for releasing this. DO NOT BUY IT. You will be so disappointed folks.

    FPS lock, permanent blur, plethora of bugs, broken quests(Bureau of Tourism) known to be broken for weeks and not fixed for release date. Stash issues, broken PvP revenge system, textures from 2011.. Yes this is Zenimax/Bethesda of 2018 with their new big project. Oh, no push to talk as well.

    Sin lugar a dudas esta es la peor experiencia por parte de un juego de Bethesda que he tenido nunca.

    This game feels like swimming underwater, at night, with no oxygen tank or a flashlight in the middle of the ocean. And when you try to go to the surface to breath, you cannot. The ocean drags you back and slowly drains your life while you struggle to survive. You will not survive, it is the worst game I have ever played. Do yourself a favor and stay away from this.

    Sadly, not much fun.
    First, this is a "real" Fallout game. Game play and feel is the same, controls (good and bad) are consistent; it's feels like Fallout 4. I enjoyed seeing a new wasteland to discover and new lore to learn. But that's all I enjoyed and that's the problem; other than being the next step in Fallout's development there is nothing else to recommend the game. The side quests    Sadly, not much fun.

But that's all I enjoyed and that's the problem; other than being the next step in Fallout's development there is nothing else to recommend the game. The side quests feel dreary. The constant, and I mean CONSTANT, stopping to play holotapes or read long terminal entries is annoying in the extreme. NPC interaction was fun in prior games, especially New Vegas, but it doesn't exist here. If I weren't a Fallout fan, I'd see no reason to play this. And banking on nostalgia just isn't enough to keep even a fanboy interested for very long.

    In summary, the graphics are better than ever but its a dull, grey game with limited play time potential. Spend your $60 on RDR 2.    … Expand

    I've played this serie since its inception. When Bethesda took over Interplay everyone said that was the end of the serie, sure it was a different game (Fallout 3), but it was enjoyable. This one is a different beast. All Fallout were full of bugs initially, so I can forgive that. What I have problem with is that I'm playing it solo, but still need to be in that online world with peoples II've played this serie since its inception.

The few times I interacted with peoples it was either quite banal, or annoying (two guys chasing me trying to kill me). So for a game I'm playing and intend to play solo, having the burden of the online e.g. no pause, no real VATS anymore, no real save (checkpoint is so-so), ... is a big negative mark. Add to this that at the core, as many have said, the story is read through holotapes and notes (and the occasional boring robot) make it quite bland. Yes, the world is big and if the troubles don't discourage me, I'll probably spend quite a bit of time exploring it, however, I already feel a little bit bored, while for any of the other games in the serie I was still full enthusiastic at that point in my game time. Maybe an offline mode would alleviate a bit of the issues, but the life less experience might not be something that can be fixed. I still try to love it... might just not happen.… 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]
