    Love the in-game world, but this is barely a game, and definitely not what Fallout should be. Still playing with 25 hours of in-game play, but what is the point. What are workshops for? Why do I build when the game world resets. Why the hell is there a limit of stored resources when that is pretty much all we have to do is collect things? Total Crap!

    What is Fallout 76?

    It is a multiplayer game set on the Fallout universe. Unlike previous Fallout games, two of which have been developed by Interplay and Black Isle (Fallout and Fallout 2, respectively), two of which have been developed by Bethesda (Fallout 3 and Fallout 4, in addition to Fallout 76), and one which has been developed by Obsidian (Fallout: New Vegas), Fallout 76 doesn't    What is Fallout 76?

    It is a multiplayer game set on the Fallout universe. Unlike previous Fallout games, two of which have been developed by Interplay and Black Isle (Fallout and Fallout 2, respectively), two of which have been developed by Bethesda (Fallout 3 and Fallout 4, in addition to Fallout 76), and one which has been developed by Obsidian (Fallout: New Vegas), Fallout 76 doesn't even try to hide what it is: a multiplayer, online survival shooter with the bare minimum of elements necessary to call it an "RPG".

    But what does this mean, in practice?

    There are no human NPCs in Fallout 76. The only humans you will find are other players. You get quests through holotapes, robot NPCs, among others. This game relies solely on Bethesda's famed "environmental" storytelling, which is as environmental as having a voice telling you what you are seeing. That is because Bethesda's "environmental" storytelling consists of nothing but notes and journals and holotapes and terminals, a far cry from the truly environmental storytelling of Fallout 1, where you can find an abandoned facility that lets you piece together what happened there just by looking around the environment, finding dead bodies, unopened doors, unactivated machinery, etc.

    Fallout 76 is not a good RPG. As such, it fails as a Fallout game. But what about the game part? The simplicity of the quests in this game mean that, unless you are really, REALLY looking forward to spending hundreds of hours doing nothing but fetch quests, base building and PvP that has been nerfed because "griefing is bad in a post-apocalyptic videogame", then the odds are you will hate this game.

    I give this a 5 because it is simply a mediocre game by any metric of the imagination, but in reality a 1 would be more fitting, as it is an absolute disgrace as a Fallout game, and a bad joke as a multiplayer game.    … Expand

    This is a joke... Fallout76 is just a DLC for Fallout4 wich cost's 60€... really?! Not even NPC's, the graphics are awful, Bethesda i hope this "game" is a lesson for you. The modders can't help you this time.

    Pure cash grab with unnecessary limitations (stash size, weapon/armor level), empty/soulless world and quite a few bugs. Bethesda knew why they didn't released on steam, because this way they could just grab the cash and offer no refunds.

    I'm still wondering why Bethesda didn't changed the whole game to battle royal to grab even more cash (probably the engine wasn't up to the task).

    Fallout 76 has no content to warrant calling it a game! Outdated engine with poor graphics, mechanics, frame rate and the usual bugs you'd expect from Bethesda. Can't give this any more than a 0/10 because technically there's nothing that makes it a game.

    Why would anybody support a business model based on launching 60$ halfmade games with microtransactions waiting for it to eventually become good after a year.

    They killed Fallout. Twice.

    Fallout 4 was a joke and I don't even want to mention this low-quality Fallout-themed Rust clone. I will just pretend that it doesn't exist. Bethesda should've left it to Obsidian, those guys clearly knew what to do with the franchise, but it's too late now since Obsidian was bought by Microsoft.

    Fallout has been reduced to a **** MMO with massive lore breaking instances, lack of immersive content , easily defeated higher level monsters and constant respawning of enemies, in some documented cases DURING a fight.

    Fallout with no story, no npcs, and little to nothing to do. It's a giant sandbox with Fallout 4's UI. Waste of money and time.

    I was sold on the awesome setting of the Fallout universe. Then Fo76 just crapped all over it. This is THE biggest waste of money I can ever recall spending money on and I purchased Battlecruiser 3000AD.

    *No story
    *Terrible enemy AI
    *Terrible gun play
    *Single player engine modified for MP with all the Bethesda bugs

    Avoid this like the plague.

There is no NPC and the other players of the 24 players map are not interacting beyond the hot mike (if you have a microphone, it is - by default - always on) or the PvP.

    The game engine and graphics are seriously outdated: it was used probably a decade ago or two. The game lags seriously despite being my network being on a fibre broadband service with less than 30 ms of ping on typical MMOs: as a result of this lag, it usually takes 1-2 seconds for an enemy to be hit by the bullet I just shot. This is very unsatisfactory. The RPG element is non existent as you do not need to develop your character - it is a survival game without consequences. The social element is both ridiculous and not required: who needs to take pictures whilst taking poses, apply filters, and pretty much uploading that to instagram? In short, this game is a terrible disappointment, I made a mistake pre-ordering it and received the just reward of a polished mud-ball: lesson learned. Don't do the same mistake, keep your money for something useful.    … Expand

    Poor performance, bad graphics, boring story, no Fov slider, 60 FPS cap.
    With a GTX 1080 ti and an i7 7700k you get in some Areas around 40 FPS. On low settings!
    The game quickly gets boring, you can't do anything else as explore and loot.

    Many call it an obscene cash grab or a horrendous antithesis of fallout. I just call it garbage. It's a result of fallout design philosophy to create content ultra-cheap and then push it as a fake AAA game. This game shows a complete lack of respect for ex-loyal customers.

    Have a brain and don't trust those payed shills that gave it a 10. The game itself would deserve a 4, but their shady tactics deserve a 0

    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]
