    Huge fan of Fallout, huge fan of Elder Scrolls. This game is so broken that I am now not a fan of any future games made by Bethesda.
    Pro:
    Fallout game you can play with friends.
    Cons:
    An alpha build to game at full price.

To top it off they added microtransactions to leech off any last dollar they could off the players.

    First of all the game feels empty. No NPC, not even a good storyline, repetive gameplay.

    So i spent more time in bugfixing than playing it self. I was a big fan of bethesda but this title is mind changing. And what ever i do, i cant find the storyline :/ Just chasin some holotapes.

    This game is worse than I ever could have imagined. I wasn't anticipating anything great but I thought there might at least be some interesting game play. It turns out there is nothing. There is no real game beyond the interactions with other players.

    Honestly this entire game feels like a crash-grab game that was made as cheaply as possible, while recycling as many assets and resources from Fallout 4 as possible, in an attempt to generate the highest possible profit margin. It feels a lot like the VR versions of FO4 and Skyrim only worse because there are other people being jerks.

    Should not be available to the public yet. With developers pushing games like this there should be consumer protection laws against it. Constant bugs, no story or fun, open to hacks. Hope they reap what they sow here.

    I loved the early Fallout games, but this game is just terrible. After a few hours of clumsy annoying play trying to find a town following the story quest, I was hunted down, harassed, and killed by a squad of lv 30 players that were out hunting newbies for fun. This is the worst game I have ever played.

    I wrote a favorable review for this early on, but I was being hopeful. The game is on the brink of death because of the developers being lazy and greedy. This game was no where near finished when they pushed it to release. They cut out any story even just to get it out by christmas. it was riddled with exploits and glitches, and it's on their recycled engine that is over 10 years old.

This game was no where near finished when they pushed it to release. They cut out any story even just to get it out by christmas. it was riddled with exploits and glitches, and it's on their recycled engine that is over 10 years old. At release fallout 4 mods worked on it, which shows it was literally fallout 4 recycled. Instead of attempting to fix the glitches the developer began to ban huge portions of the player base and refusing to take responsibility for releasing an unfinished game. They began pinning the players against one another causing loads of toxicity in the community by blaming those who use game exploits for stability issues and more. Even if this game ever had a future or ever could have been good, I don't care. I will never buy another bethesda game again, and I own all the fallout games, and several other Bethesda titles, but after how they have conducted business here you can count me out, you have lost a loyal customer.… Expand

    I thought that after a year since release, they would have fixed the game, added a bunch of content and made it more fun, but that does not seem to be the case.

    First off, this game made me make a metacritic account just so I could rate it 0 stars. It is running (poorly) on a very old outdated engine that really can't handle and was not built for multiplayer. The bugs involved with the multiplayer make this game impossible to enjoy. If you are sure you really want this game, don't pay more than $10. Bethesda, I am not angry, I am just disappointed.

    I'm utterly disgusted by the sheer shoddiness of this game and that Bethesda had the cheek to try and sell it for full price. Did no-one in the studio question whether it was shippable?

Did no-one in the studio question whether it was shippable? Did anyone actually care? Because that's the thing. It's clear Bethesda's leadership don't care. There are hints that the junior employee's do (nice polish on really minute things, such as; used primers being impacted on bolt guns depending on ammo left, fairly decent minor note-writing and some nice level design + item placement).

    I'm not sure what this was, Todd's LSD-induced idea, corporate demanding Fallout jump on the diseased bandwagon that is currently afflicting the rest of gaming or a feature that wasn't ready in time for F4 (and the studio demanded it get it's money worth). Hell, it was probably all three. Fact is though, it wasn't anywhere near up to scratch. Consumers are getting tired of this BS in AAA gaming and I'm glad they're voting with their wallets and writing negative reviews on-masse. Maybe our complaints will finally be listened to... but then again, when has this studio ever listened to us, really? Maybe they should just bite the bullet, sell the IP to whatever studio has the most ex-Obsidian employees and then maybe we'll get another gem like NV...

    Crib notes version, if Todd is reading?
    - Consumers are tired of cashgrabs and half-finished games.
    - Microtransactions of any kind are CANCER.
    - Stop reusing assets just to bilk more money, yes I am talking about the reskinned skyrim dragon.
    - Fire your executive team, or sell the IP to a studio that actually cares.    … Expand

    I did love Fallout New Vegas, Fallout3, Fallout4. Fallout76 is like a generic survival game. The Graphics are ok, that is not my problem, graphics let me feel like Fallout4 again. But why this survival game? Where is the Fallout Epic Storyline, the Funny-Seroius Feeling about the world design. all is gone, is just an typical survival game.

    Fallout 4's fall from grace reincarnated as Fallout 76. This game is terrible, such a lack of colour in the story if any and the game is just boring.

    I have been a huge fan of Fallout going back to the original but Fallout 76 is not only a terrible Fallout title but a terribly executed game on all fronts.

From a programming standpoint the game has terrible to little or no error handling. The law of unintended consequences rules every key stroke and mouse click. The game is extremely unstable and I'm constantly being frozen for 3 to 5 seconds while the server catches its breath so to speak. On average, the server will freeze me out of play 5 to 6 times per hour. It is extremely hard to get a good gamer pace going when the game is constantly fighting the user's inputs. Beside being buggy as all heck, the story ranges from one dimensional to being virtually non existent. The combat is terrible as the enemy combatants seemingly transport back and forth across the screen making you waste tons of ammo to kill yet another scorched. I am really at a loss how any professional reviewer can write a positive review of this game. For the love of God and your immortal soul, do not waste your money on this game. I sure as heck wished I hadn't.… 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]
