    I will start by saying this. I've played fallout since Fallout 3. Ever since I played Fallout NV I have always wanted an online fallout. When i first heard about Fallout 76 I was ecstatic. But the fear I had when the first day of beta came around, and the launcher didn't work what-so-ever, is unmatched. i should've listened to my gut. Anyone who tried to launch had an approx. 70 gig gameI will start by saying this. I've played fallout since Fallout 3. Ever since I played Fallout NV I have always wanted an online fallout.

Anyone who tried to launch had an approx. 70 gig game wiped completely off their PC. But this is a review so i wont just talk about the pre-launch.
    For the game itself, I'll make a true list of pro and con

    +Fallout (kinda)
    +Dream of multiplayer came true
    +There are some cool addition in guns and enemies
    +The LOCATION of the game makes it beautiful

    -It is literally a combination of Skyrim / Fallout 4 (look up the coding on the Scorch Beasts.. and Falllout 4 references in the files)
    -The survival is just annoying. food and drink run out stupidly fast even with perks and disease is so common
    -No human npcs and the robots they have are all the same robots from previous games with not many changes to even voices
    -The bugs... dont even get me started. i can make a 5K character review just on that. And i dont want to hear that "new games have bugs" because this garbage is like Fear Factor for gamers.
    -Uses the same old engine they had for ages. (that sucked to begin with)
    -The player interaction is dull, either someone hits you for 10 minutes and breaks all of their weapons (just for you to stimpack for all the hp) or they're babbling and mouth breathing like a mongoloid into the microphone not knowing they are even in voice chat. When they find out they join 90% of players who have turned it off
    -The upgrades and crafting is too much grinding for the little reward it yields.
    -THE STASH LIMIT (i filled my stash limit (with only useful materials, not even weapons) within hours.
    -The constant radio-silence from Bethesda because they know they lied through their teeth the whole time
    -Building is trash.. (enough turrets to defend your base leaves you with a little amount left over to actually personalize while no turrets allows your base to get steam-rolled by enemies. Plus my build limit has been glitched at full with nothing built for 6 days)
    -Lighting / god rays are nauseating and shadow effects are based on your characters orientation to the object.
    -Everything is tied to FPS (reload speed, run speed, etc.) and their solution was to cap the fps at 63 because they "couldn't do anything about it."
    -Support staff blame the games instability on your pc hardware or give you a copy/paste blanket response to justify.
    -End game leaves nothing to do. I killed the Scorchbeast Queen at level 50 and it dropped mediocre loot. I am now level 93 and the items level caps at 50 even though i fight enemies around my level (little guns, big enemies). Making the grind harder and harder for literally 0 reward.
    -Factions are useless. I've done just about all the factions' entire quest lines (about 20min to complete) and all I've gotten was stupid costumes and access to vendors with sub par gear.
    -Boring. There's a big world with nothing to do except mindlessly kill stuff and do gather missions that yield, yet again, useless gear.

    I doubt anyone will even read this far so i feel i'm wasting my time. In conclusion, I could go on for days, but Bethesda's EA level deceit and laziness has shattered my love and trust for the only company in gaming that i still respected. BIGGER let down and over hype than No Man's Sky. Don't understand why this took YEARS to develop this AIDS vector when it was a copy and paste job, but I do understand why i will never buy another Bethesda game, period.    … Expand

    I created this Metacritic account, just to give this game a 0/10. I have never even played the game. That's how bad it is. Anyone who disagrees, is just butthurt that Bethesda won't give them their money back. Garbage. Absolute garbage. I have made it my mission to find EVERY user review source possible, and give this game a 0. Congrats Bethesda.

    Fun at first, but so many broken elements to the game kills it for me. High-level areas have bullet sponge enemies that can take an armor penetrating round to the head (no armor) without dying. So many things broken in this game, I don't know where to start. Worst insult to this franchise I've ever seen. Save your money and get Fallout 3, New Vegas, or even Fallout 4.

    All information between the game's server and your computer is unencrypted. It is actually dangerous for you to play this game, as any other player can use this information to find out your physical location.

I am not talking about all that bugs (which are hundreds), this game doesnt have an atmosphere of Fallout lore at all! Quests are the worst which could be done (ultra boring), PvP aspect is complete crap. There so many fails and bad concepts in this game that it just unplayable. Hopefully all this is just a joke and Bethesda will create a real Fallout game.… Expand

    This is a garbage, not a game. Charging whatever Bethestda is charging for this unfinished pile of heap is an outrage.
    Do not buy it unless you want to put your money down the drain.

    What a buggy mess. If ES6 uses this crappy engine, Zenimax/Bathesda will go broke :)

    and ..I think EA, Activision Blizzard and Bathesda should merge into one big corp. at this point. they are all the same

Sure the game looks pretty good but the camera movements get a bit shaky sometimes. The bag limit is very limiting and you are constantly figuring out ways to get your junk back to C.A.M.P. OH the C.A.M.P., want to have a real cool base camp good luck finding the plans! Just like finding weapon mods where the heck are they?

    Piss poor game. Limits my freedom of speech to a high degree, and I am always feeling like I'm under the watchful eye of big brother Bethesda. If you guys wanted to make an open world simulator, please do it right and actually allow people to play the game as they intend, lest you want to end up bankrupting your company.

    Copy paste from Fallout 4, add in a bucketload of bugs so that it's basically unplayable, take out all the NPCs and story that made it interesting. You get Fallout 76, a boring complete waste of time. Thanks Todd for No Man Skying the Fallout series. Never buying Bethesda again.

    I won't be going into what this is as of right now - that one can read everywhere else. I'm going to tell you what this game will never be - it will never be fixed. Engine used to create this game has too many limitations, Bethesda is not able to fix the bugs nor add content requested by people because it is technically impossible. Fallout 76 will stay as is forever.

    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]
