But if you enjoy base building it really is great. This game focuses around building and upgrading either your camp or your personal character. and since everything needs to be upgraded it really makes finding basic junk rewarding. Also a nice feature for Camps and workshops is the ability to have materials that can be mined I think thats a pretty cool addition in 76.

    I will say for the story missions are lacking *Spoilers Kinda*...................... Everyone is dead, so story missions follow something like this, find a object find the holotape find the dead person repeat, Sometimes you get to kill some enemies along the way but for the most part thats how the story or most quests go. As for quality of quests I mean its average nothing crazy, And the quests didnt glitch out for me ever, at the time of writing this I am level 30 with about 24 hours in if you include the beta.

    The reason I put the game at a 6 or 6.5 is for the following, the servers, in all my time of playing the servers disconnected me about ten times in the normal game (I never got disconnected in the beta) and ive had this game hard crash twice for me on my rig. For reference I have a intel i7 7700 k GTX 1060 6 GB and 32 GB ddr4. I will also say when you disconnect from the server it tells you way late. I have been disconnected while running to a part of the map only to realize I disconnected and I now have to re walk all the land I just covered, supper annoying. Another reason for the low score is for the power armor glitch, Ive had to reset my game twice for power armor glitches so far, how this happens is you enter the power armor at a bad angle and get stuck.. definitely not fun. so over all for the game being out for two days ish ive crashed 2 times disconnected 10 times and had to restart the game 2 times for the power armor glitch.

    * (side note) Servers can be very lag prone and has bad hit detection this has only happened once to me forcing me to log out and back in again in order to get a better server. It was so bad to the point of me hitting a enemy then that enemy would hit me twice and then just roll over dead mid attack.

    I will also say that this game needs to have some quality of life fixes 400 lbs max stash size is crap That needs to be raised or weight levels need to be decreased. Also No push to talk is annoying as well. I have also noticed even if you turn off the voice chat sometimes the launcher likes to turn it back on again, only happened to me once in the full release and once in the beta so be aware.

    I will also say this game needs a trader hub, most vendors like at a resort in fallout 76 share the caps inventory and I find that very annoying, I suppose a way to combat that is to server hop but it should still be fixed or have something to offset this. It almost feels like you need to be able to post your goods for sale for other players to see, something like a guild store like from ESO (Elder Scrolls Online) A quick spot to put extra amo up for sale or a great place to get cheap goods. Now when I say feel I mean to say selling items is very empty and not satisfying, since vendor hubs share most caps you feel like there is no point to selling you should just scrap it. It just feels like there was supposed to be a trading store but it never really got put in.

    Also A side note that I have is with repairing weapons if i need to use a gear to repair a weapon when I scrap the weapon type in question I should get gear... makes sense right? Wrong! only wood and steel, It just kind of bothers me. But after all of that I will say one more good thing to end on. Huge map! I very rarely come across players and each area is very different from the starting area in the woods to the swamp to the nuclear waste land its all unique and each spot feels very different.    … Expand

    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.

    Fallout 76 is a shallow, repetitive and incredibly grind heavy experience that cynically takes everything I love about the Fallout series, guts it of all its interesting mechanics and crams the husk of what's left into a generic, boring open world survival multiplayer experience.

    I would honestly say that MineCraft is more fun than 76 and that's after growing tired of it half a decade ago. So let's go into more detail on why I feel this way.

    The setting: 76 takes the setting from the core series where you play as a vault dweller emerging into a post-apocalyptic world full of nasty enemies and... Not much else. In fact the enemies are for the most part either completely broken or ridiculously easy, but I'll come back to that. The world is actually the best thing about the game and why I'm opting to give a 1 over a zero. There's a lot of vibrant colours and enjoyable scenery, but this is marred heavily by the overall experience.

    Another huge issue is the lack of NPCs and quests being doled out in MMO form. The world falls flat when there's no interesting characters to interact with or build the plot.

    The combat: Enemies in 76 are a joke. No really. Not only are they either too easy or overpowered by the game deciding to rubber band them around while you try to land a solid hit, but they're also very heavily populated meaning it's impossible to explore at your own pace and enjoy lore through tapes and terminals. There were times where I would enter a building after clearing a zone only to find that the corpses I just made have all disappeared and re-spawned around me.

    VATS is a janky mess of a feature which, being in real-time now is not only unintuitive and slow to use, but it's also incredibly unreliably. The most use I could find for it is to snap on to target before aiming manually. It also makes targeting limbs incredibly difficult with feedback on crippling enemies being near non-existent compared to past entries

    The multiplayer experience: At any time, in any place, you can and will be sent all number of duel requests from other players in the rare chance that you actually get to meet one outside of area event quests. Not only is this incredibly annoying, but it also deals a tiny amount of damage. Not enough to be threatening, but if you've just finished up[ a big fight and you're out of stims, well, you're not gonna have a lot of fun.

    Players can stalk you anywhere and issue these requests at any time. Like when you're trying to read those terminal entries, or sitting through the 20 second sleeping animations. This makes for some immersion shattering experiences that will leave you at best, mildly annoyed. There's also the fact that you can bait players into your suspended platforms in your camp and remove the floor from underneath them, downing them with fall damage and popping their heads with one bullet to get credit for the kill. This never happened to me, but the fact that it can is just stupid. Oh and good luck finding people with the same quest as you for some co-op action.

    Overall: Fallout 76 is a cynical attempt at milking the Fallout fanbase for all it's worth. There are micro transactions aplenty with the in-game store with all of the purchasable items being purely cosmetic. I wouldn't take much issue with this if the game itself wasn't a shambling mess of what its predecessors were before it.

    The combat is boring and often tedious, enemies are far too common, player griefing is prevalent despite anti-griefing measures and the plot is incredibly hard to enjoy in any capacity.

    When it was announced me and my friends would often joke about running into 13 year old kids screaming profanities about our mother as they did everything they could to annoy us into quitting. This didn't happen, but the game itself felt equally offensive just by playing it. It plays like a reanimated corpse of Fallout 4 with none of the charm.

Frame stutters, capped framerate, no FOV slider, no push to talk, janky sounds, weapons feel    A very average game in comparison to many triple A titles released within the last 2 years. Its game-world is nowhere as polished or interesting as Breath of the Wild, Horizon:Zero Dawn or RDR2. Its technical aspects are half a decade behind most $30 games.
    The game looks, feels and plays poorly. Frame stutters, capped framerate, no FOV slider, no push to talk, janky sounds, weapons feel like they have little next to no impact in both audio and visual compared to good FPS, of which there have been plenty since 2017.

    There is a majority of environmental storytelling, if you enjoyed this in other Fallout titles, you will enjoy it here. But there is a significant lack of cohesive main- and sub-plot storytelling. Every location has its own story but you barely ever feel like you're part of a significant storyline with an means to an end. There are also no surprises in storytelling; pretty much every human NPC is dead, you will always return to a terminal or a robot and never be surprised or caught off-guard once.
    The leveling and weapon system are normalized so higher level players don't carry a great advantage over lower level players, making level 20s able to compete with 40s. This artificial balance in turn makes the PvE a complete joke, with the mobs suffering from the typical Bethesda AI flaws since Morrowind (getting stuck, getting confused, standing still. If you shoot a big monster from a position it has hard time reaching, you win).
    As such, there is no real sense of progression either. Hour 3 will feel like hour 30 will feel like hour 300, except you're wearing Power Armor in the end and have an even greater overabundance of Stimpacks to spam and cheese out the already ridiculously easy content.
    The gunplay is incredibly shallow, from bad audio to bad animations and visuals to little impact felt from guns. There is no realism in this shooting, from the way the guns sway to recoil to damage.
    A majority of base movement and combat animations have been recycled from Fallout 3 and Skyrim. You still have swing left, swing right, power attack and block, clunky run animations, clunky wielding animations, pretty much everything that modders worked hard to change for FO4.
    Finally, the character customization is horrible. The most downloaded mods on Nexus for FO4 (and Skyrim) are to improve character customization, visuals, textures and clothes. None of that is in Fallout 76, your character will go through the exact same creation menu as Fallout 4 with barely any improvements made to it, the textures will be bad, the customization will be bad.
    Many clothes just 'hide' your equipped armor pieces, and the majority of armor you find is re-used assets from 4, without even getting a texture upgrade. Customization is one of the most imporant aspects for many people in an RPG and Fallout 76 offers very rudimentary, ugly customization that won't make you feel unique or like a virtual avatar of yourself, just an ugly blob of very dated textures.

    All in all, this game is worse than many early access titles currently, not worth $60 for any of its key aspect: There are many superior multi- and single-player games out on the market. There are games with better storytelling on the market. There are games with better visuals and technology on the market that still offer more interesting gameplay than F76.

    I gave it a 55/100, rounded up to a 6/10 on here. It is an 'okay' game but it's not great. It has fun potential, but not more than other games. Games media will likely give it a deluded high 70 to low 80, but what else is new. Just in terms of graphics, stability and features you'd objectively have to deduct a vast sum of %, but everyone knows they won't.
    Still, it's not a 0/10 like all the bombed reviews claim, but its definitely not a 10/10 with vibrant AI as some of the other reviews claim. The truth is somewhere in the middle.

    Only buy this if you have an abundance of income and don't feel bad for supporting the practice of unfinished, recycled games as a service, or if you enjoy environmental storytelling as the main aspect of a game.
    Fallout 76 is an avatar of mediocrity, and as long as gamers don't start voting with their wallets to force Game Studios to shape up, this will be the standard for many games moving forward.    … Expand

I had better drink water." I don't hate the game but it really needs some human NPCs and a story to save it. Finding dead bodies gets old. If they are dead bodies why am I doing their bidding?

    The Game that is actually presented is not bad. Certainly not enough to garner the hate it has. The world is well designed, and full of character. The variation in the map is a welcomed change, and I simply love the look of it. Appalachia in the fall is gorgeous! I'd know because it is the only benefit of living here. The world design is fantastic, and flows very well.
    There are two reasons this review was not higher,
    1) The lack of NPC's is almost a running joke. Every time I find myself on the cusp of finding a living, breathing, dumb as a rabbit classic Fallout NPC, ther're either dead or fled. For god's sake, I'd even take Preston Garvey.
    2) The delays. By god. The delays between doing anything are terrible. For example, you'll shoot an enemy, hit them, the are able to hit you before your damage registers. It is the thorn in my side that makes me want to put the controller down and rethink everything. Another example is when looting anything the menu has to buffer, sometimes for 5 seconds or more. That's alright, but when the game is centered around looting everything, it is really pestering.    … Expand

    PS Its not Fallout.

    Been playing Fallout since 1 on my Pentium 2. A decade later we are getting this MMORPG post nuclair survival game. Hey it's not that bad as everyone is saying. Don't be a blind fool and experience the wasteland with your buddies. Ofcourse it got it's flaws and a stupid FPS lock. But hey. Does it run the fun? Not for me.

Not for me. After a 8-hr co-op session with my buddies I can't wait to sit back and enjoy my weekend playing Fallout 76. Yes it has microtransactions but acceptable. Yes it has bugs but acceptable. Yes I'd rather have a single player Fallout, but exploring the wasteland shooting everything in sight with 3 other buddies was just way too much fun. Please give it a try.… Expand

    Fallout 76 is just an old Fallout game mod repackaged into a lifeless world. Now, shouldn't a post-apocalyptic world be lifeless? Yes! But this is a game, and the devs are supposed to be making it fun.

    This is not fun. And they broke V.A.T.S. I can hear their developers saying "good enough" with every unfixed bug or broken gameplay mechanic. I've been playing since Fallout 1 & 2.

    I've been playing since Fallout 1 & 2. Fallout 3 was at least innovative. I began to get concerned in Fallout 4 when there was little innovation. This is just a cash grab, and where Bethesda betrayed my trust.

    Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, won't get fooled again.    … Expand

    I'm registering my account here just to say the same as already said by hundreds. If you are a fan of Fallout 1, 2, 3 (NV), even the 4th... Don't buy. You will be sad, you will be disappointed.
    Such a waste... Not my money.. What they did with Fallout.

    This is so bad... its 5/10 without fallout in title and 1/10 as a fallout game. Just change name of this sh*t to 76!

    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]
