    seems like a lot of people want to ride the hate train. i however enjoy it and its great to play with friends.Also if you want to experience multiplayer in the elder scrolls universe check out TES3MP project its easy and fully playable in multiplayer.

    Fallout 76, or it should be named Frameout 76 because its massive framedrops. One of the worst optimized videogames so far. Terrible.
    Truly an insult to the gamer community.

    This game is a dead carcass of Fallout 4, a lifeless, Soulless piece of crap, Do no waste your money, If you want Fallout then this game isn't Fallout, If you want a survival game then go play Rust, Which is a million time better than this abomination, Also cheaper.

    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.

    If Bethesda won't stop making games on this dead engine that's the same since oblivion, these games will be crappy as fallout 76. I hope the new TES will have a new engine, but this fallout is not a fallout anymore.

    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.

    Honestly, the game looks bad you almost never see people unless in the church area and the game is just not fun after the first 5 hours but I will give Bethesda credit if fallout happened in real life the world would look bad and not be fun at all and everyone would never explore outside of the first base we make.

    Genuinely one of the best multiplayer experiences out there right now. Ignore anyone opinions from those Radposting cowards who never actually played F76 and take time out of your day for this relaxing and truly breathtaking experience,

    The true darkness is on the other side. Take a look on several random profiles that gave "10" to this game. Almost like 90% of them have only 1 review (for FO76) and profile names like "superplayer1984". In their reviews, there're writing everything via one of two copypastas: 1) describing all the game features were named by bethesda in trailers (some of which simply even don't exist) and literally telling everything is working perfectly. 2) callin everyone who left a bad review a hater who never played the game.

    The second part is as you all know, Bethesda initially released game only on Beth.net - not on Steam, GOG etc. Why? Yes, eaxactly. You can't leave a review there. At least, so easily. Question is - what is it like?

    Yes, we all know (especially those who are reading political news) how it looks. Bethesda (I'm not saying directly Pete Hines, obviously not, but through the hands of sub-companies, "family" bloggers and "friendly" game journalists) is litereally using the bots to leave positive reviews and leaving 10 points to at least somehow save catastrophic ratings of the game. Almost all accounts that made 10/10 FO76 reviews were made not by real players behind them, but by certain people, for only one goal - try to save the game ratings on the platform they can't affect directly.

    Don't get me wrong. Bethesda was and today still [IS] my favourite game company. But the abyss they are making between themselves and community, how they allow marketing stuff to rule the PR company and game development itself, and how obviously they are trying to hide any possible negative critics about the game - it's really, really sad.

    I'm neither FO 76 fan or hater. I just don't care about it - I won't play it and wait for Starfield and TES VI.
    Though, I played more than 20 hours on my friend gaming PC to not let myself make a prejudged review.
    I also wish every player who bought it to have the best possible time in it.
    Fallout 76 is not a "zero" game. But it's a very, very bad game. Extremely outdated engine. Terrible performance. Awful cheating/hacking protection. But what if most important, it's a soulless game which has even less to have at least something in commong with FO series than FO4 had. It's empty, repeative and just boring.
    I won't give "0" to this game. But I'll give as maximum as "3" because this is what FO76 deserves.    … Expand

    1) Graphics - They are not bad, they are current generation.
    2) Questing - Questing if anything is better with holotapes then to read dialogs in other mmorpgs. Maybe story line is a little lacking up the vast world, customization's and teamplay make up for it.
    3) PVP - anti ganking is a beautiful thing, the pvp was designed for late game squad or faction pvp. People just don't understand    1) Graphics - They are not bad, they are current generation.

    3) PVP - anti ganking is a beautiful thing, the pvp was designed for late game squad or faction pvp. People just don't understand the PvP mechanics.
    4) Character Development - Best game in the world for character builds. Non-Class specific builds calls for unlimited diversity in both solo play and in squad play with perk sharing. Align your build with specific weapon and armor mods to fit your play style for even improved functionality.
    5) Bugs - Nothing game breaking. A few glitches here and there that will most likely be fixed in a few months.
    6) Frame Drops - Bethesda acknowledges the problems with the frame rate and is working around the clock to fix them. To be honest the 50-60 fps is completely playable as a pve game. Once everyone gets to 50 we will need better frame rates for pvp, I'm confident the fix will be in place at this time.
    7) Micro transactions - Cosmetic transactions? This is not even worth mentioning. Yes let them make some one from some cool skins. Nothing game breaking from a P2W perspective.

    Conclusion: The game makes for a very complex and strategic end game Battle Area. Currently, no other game provides a game that is not class specific and have as much character and team item and skill development then this game. You heard it from me first but this game is 2019 game of the year.    … Expand

    This game is tons of fun. It is not perfect. Don't trust the review bombers. If you're looking for a good post-apocalyptic cooperative multiplayer experience and enjoy exploring, crafting, etc., you will probably love it.

There are mods better than this and they're free so I much rather play those.

    Please Bethesda, this game sucks and your engine is total trash. Ditch this game and your god forsaken engine, build a new engine or use Unreal or even Unity to build a good RPG. I don't care how long it takes just give us fans good games.    … Expand

    In all seriousness? No, you're not missing out anything by playing this. Just because the gunplay was improved doesn't make it good. It's actually mediocre, just like FO4, which is another thing that I don't like about this game, it's just FO4 multiplayer, the difference being a different map, removal of a great amount of NPCs and having other players to play with.

    The game is also very prone to hacking. Mods won't come unitl next year, but people can modify the. ini files of the game just like FO4, and alolws them to change stuff like lockpicking being easier and god knows what they might come up with next. A quick look at the game's anti cheat system reveals it's just a joke: https://imgur.com/eIOcWOA
    Even while there's definitely a lot to explore, the fact that the game feels empty makes discovering stuff barely exciting, and reading or hearing stuff is just tedious as it makes just want to finish already, after all the mission objective updates itself. You no longer discover stuff that can affect the people around you, all because they are already dead, and all you have to do is launching nukes and boom, that's all.
    If you honestly want an online game where exploring is better, you can play minecraft instead. I know it might sound as a joke but the game is actually fun, and has a great replayability.    … Expand

    I'm going to preface my review with this. This is obviously being review bombed by salty gamers who find no enjoyment in video games other **** & moaning about the industry & talking about how their plastic box is better than someone else's. If that's the type of gamer you are than go ahead & listen to the "0" reviews who have never played this game, have no intention of playing this game,I'm going to preface my review with this.

If that's the type of gamer you are than go ahead & listen to the "0" reviews who have never played this game, have no intention of playing this game, & have never genuinely reviewed a game in their life & move along.

    For everyone else that isn't a fake POS "reviewer" who is genuinely interested in the game, maybe Fallout 76 can be for you.

    Some users were asking if Fallout 76 was like an MMA. To answer that question, it's like an MMO in the sense that you seek out crafting materials, craft items, base build, share the experience with friends & other gamers & can trade items with people.

    There's PvP with other players on the map that you will be exploring. You can turn on passive mode which will allow you to explore in relative peace without being bother by another player if you choose to do so.

    Fallout 76's story is being told via recordings, notes/letters, clues, etc. Now, that's not to say there isn't a story within this game, there's plenty to discover and learn about in Appalachia. But this isn't a traditional Fallout title. This is more character & base building focus with multiplayer involved (questing together, trading and pvp on occasion).

    All that being said, even outside of multiplayer, I'm still looking forward to solo play since I don't have friends that are picking this up. & I'm fine with a game I can kind of veg out to in the Fallout universe and do random quests and just building a character while potentially meeting a new gaming buddy along the way.

    This is very much a create your own adventure game in some aspects. You can ignore those aspects and just do the missions though if you want. And get all the story aspect out of the game. Just don't go into this thinking the story will be as strong as a Fallout 3, New Vegas or 4 where it was solo story linear heavy with great side quests if you choose. This will still have quests to do but they will be all about adding to the lore of the Fallout Universe & the rewards for doing the quests will be in the form that will help grow your character within the game & give you materials to help build a gun or a base or armor.

    This is a game I can see being added onto for years & growing it over time. & getting in on day one will be worth the journey if you are open minded about a different style Fallout game.    … Expand

    I spent most my time in FO4 building settlements and in 76 i get to share it with my friends!

    There is a story, but its not handed in a medium you're used to (NPCs). You discover the story through holotapes, terminals, notes that people before you have left and it really gives a sense a post apocalyptic to the game. It's a new type of storytelling for sure.

    I did not think I would like playing with other people so much. I am usually a single-player RPG type of guy, but meeting other vault-dwellers and questing with them has been fantastic. I do wish there were NPCs (there is one mutant vendor, but I'd like to interact with him more)

    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]
