I have played a lot of MMORPGS over the years and that's what this is basically. If you don't like fetch quests, running long distances, lots of text to read if you want story of any kind, then do not play. I give it a solid 9 out of 10 though.… Expand

    The game is good as a base. Bethesda has already confirmed that more vaults will open which means npcs are coming. We are just the first out of the vault.

    So lets talk about what this game isn't since I feel people had expectations that weren't met. If you want a high risk pvp game like Rust or Ark where getting killed, raided and eventually wiped is 100% expected and you love the thrill of trying to be alpha tribe before you get wiped, this game is not for you.

If you want a high risk pvp game like Rust or Ark where getting killed, raided and eventually wiped is 100% expected and you love the thrill of trying to be alpha tribe before you get wiped, this game is not for you.

    If you want a traditional fallout game where you interact with interesting NPCs and make thoughtful choices, this game isn't for you either.

    So who is this game for and why the hell did I give it a 10? If you want a mix between DayZ and Mist this game is for you. It's honestly perfect for me and my boyfriend. I LOVE games like Rust and Ark, but he wont play them with me because he hates putting so much time and effort into something only to get raided in the end. I have little interest in a co-op Fallout 4 because who's choices would matter?

    This game is seriously awesome, it combines sandbox elements with a really rich story. It's just a different type of story. You emerge from vault 76 only 25 years after the war. The government filled vault 76 and other early release vaults with the best and brightest the USA had to offer because we're the ones that have to rebuild and shape the world for the future vaults. After being released you interact with a few robots that point you in a direction and you go. You find out that people who weren't able to secure safety in a vault did survive after the bombs dropped, you find their camps, diaries and holotapes talking about everything from dangerous radiation levels in the water to mutated monsters, plagues and maybe even aliens (not sure if that's actually a thing or just a crazy person rambling). The tapes are awesome because you can listen to them while rummaging around collecting stuff.

    You try to drink the water and you get rads, you try to eat the food and you get rads. You try to collect the water to boil it, and you still get rads but less so. They don't cure over time, and Radaway is sparce and you can't craft it (at least at first, not sure if you can later). You start listening to these tapes and the survivors testing the water and trying to figure out how to purify it and you have to pick up where they left off if you hope to survive long term. That's the reality of being the first ones out of a vault, no town to buy purified water in. You have to figure out how to purify it so there can be towns and factions in the future.... as well as looking into super mutant threats, plagues, aliens and other crazy rumors that could end human life as we know it. Just because the story doesn't handhold you or tell you how awesome and invaluable your character is every 15 minutes doesn't mean there isn't a rich story for you to uncover on your own.

    Obviously there's monster hunting, treasure maps, air drops, crafting, perks and skills and other cool stuff. You can build a camp but it logs out with you for the night so you can only get raided while online (even then you have a chest that only you can access, additional storage people can loot though). You know what though, that's a nice change of pace. It's a game, I can't be on 24/7. The community actually seems nice, people are intentionally leaving things in lootable chests to help others along. Don't get me wrong I LOVE games like Ark and Rust, I've got 600+ hours in each on official servers... but I also like to be able to sleep easy when I log out and I like playing games with my boyfriend so this is fun in it's own right and the first game of it's kind.

    I also love a deeply rich story, I love the previous fallout games. I've played through the Mass Effect Trilogy so many times it's unreal. I don't need to become leader of every guild and have NPCs stare at me in awe though. I don't always need to be the center of the universe, sometimes it's cool to just be a part of it and make it what you will.

    TLDR; if you want Fallout 5 Co-Op, this is not for you. If you want DayZ, this is not for you. If you want something in the middle of those that you can convince your PvP shy friends and family to play, this is perfect for you.    … Expand

    Choose a character and roleplay all the time, not rushing it to quick level up, not using quicktravel all the time, notice every detail there is in this game.

    How other people play this game:
    Rushing it to get the level up fast, no roleplay at all, no interactions with other players, just kill, loot, and level up.
    This not the right way to play it. You are mad about there is no npc's... but in the end you are the real npc's in this game. I've approach other players roleplaying my character and they ignored me thinking i'm some kind of crazy guy and they left so they can continue the grinding.

    My final opinion is that this game is good but players don't know how to play it, what RP is and care only about rushing it to beat the game as fast they can.
    Score 8 for the game and score 0 for the people playing it.    … Expand

He bought it as an early x-mas present so I would play and I gave it another go! 1 patch later a headache of downloading and going over my internet cap, and 100 hours of gameplay later I can only say this is a masterpiece and I was so used to instant gratification and games that hold your hands of today I did not see the depth and passion that was in this game. I regret ever bashing Bethesda for this game! I have had nothing but great times and now that I know wtf I'm doing and playing with friends everyday this game is on another level and we all just didn't see it! but now I see it, I see the amazing item complexity's and crafting builds in retrospect to the amazing perk card system that allows you to swap loadouts on perks. just wish there was a way to save loadouts and swap them without doing it manually. I see the massive amounts of level depth and planning the first time I took posiden energy plant with a full squad and now every time I catch the cute easter eggs hidden in inanimate objects, graffiti, termanals, and blood scrawled notes on the corpse of dead raider joe, Yes this game is buggy as hell, Yes I have 400+ triple A titles in my steam library, but you know what. I wake up I want to play fallout 76 and discover more loot, I want to burn more, I want to be more efficient at learning great spots for those springs and gears, where the red apocalyptic fern grows and a mini-nuke down to 1.5 pounds with the bear arms perk launching 489 dps in a catastrophic mushroom cloud of death at any who dare appose me until I run out of rounds and my weapons break and I'm flailing on the ground save me save me to my team who are equally as frantic as hoards of scorched slam us from every direction while the blinding breath of the scorchbeast queen pulverizes my t60 power armor to dust! im 100 hours in and I still have not walked half the map or even stated the quest lines I'm not joking!! I did my first 5 quest tonight and they were very well done. Sure this is not a game for Tom Cruise. But this is one of the best games ive played in a long time and I really wish it had a better launch, people were way to quick to judge just like I was by some fluke I kept playing and I think its one of the best things that ever happened. Sorry for my poor grammar and the long rant of a review but I feel this game will have a spot in history as the game that surprised the world when it picks up steam in reviews again. and it will just look at ESO same story not as great a game but it fleshed out to be a really good MMO, Cheers to all you still trending the wasteland at least you know what I know… Expand

    This is the most horrible and worst programmed game by Bethesda ever made! Don't believe the payed lies about this game being little good by any chance, the game is a mess and it was filled with TONS and TONS OF LIES by Todd Howard, the fkn game was even sold by free in many countries due the horrible sales. So don't believe the lies and if you want to play a Fallout game go play Fallout 4 or 3.

    I've played this game for about 250 hours now over the course of several weeks. My opinions are outlined below.
    This game is a beast. There are tons and tons of activities to do in the game. There are hundreds of quests and even more hidden areas. There is a plethora of lore to be learned and the map is simply astonishing. There are several unique regions in the map that have different creatures and enemies. There is building, farming, and exploring. With the new leveling system, you can change the perks you want to use at any time within the same tree.

    Down to business. The combat. Since the game is primarily online, the VATS system is kinda different. There is a slow degradation on your AP while it's in use and there is no slow time. This makes the VATS system a little different from previous games while still keeping it useful.
    Combat is limited to 2 types, ranged or melee, with trees in each category. While some may want to use a melee build, there is one enemy in game that will annoy you to no end because you become helpless, which is the Scorch Beasts. These nasty creatures fly high in the sky, similar to the dragons in Skyrim. Without a way to ground the beast, a melee character is essentially target practice for the flying balls of death. For this reason, I recommend picking a ranged character.

    For perks, the way it works is each level in a tree, ex; Strength, will give you one more point to spend on cards (perks) each card has a point cost associated with it and can be 'equipped'. If you have level 10 Strength you get 10 points to either spend on 10 cards that cost one or any combination of leveled cards equalling 10. I like this system as it lets me invest into lockpicking but I don't have to keep it active when I'm not picking a lock.

    For building, you can place a house almost anywhere. You set down a camp and hop to it. You have a camp budget and turrets take a LOT of it. If you want a nice home, build it in an area you won't need turrets to defend it. There are mining sites all across the map that let you build machines to gather resources for you passively. They need to be emptied regularly as there is a limit to how much stuff they can hold. Building a home is fairly easy but outfitting it with all the trinkets you want is harder as most of the placeable items are locked and need plans.

    For weapons and armor, the armor in this game has levels. So pick a version you like, and stick with the one. If you want more physical damage reduction compared to energy, then pick something that caters to your class. No one armor is better than another, it just depends on what you like.
    For power armor, this can be argued as better. But you lose access to fist weapons and you have to carry heavy power cores.
    For weapons, you need to scrap them to get attachment plans. See tons of shotguns? Scrap em. ballistic weapons are currently the go to at the moment but don't let this stop you from hitting robots with a weapon their weak against. (energy)

    If you come to a point where you can't put any more items into your stash, you're hoarding too much. Stop it. This isn't Fallout 4. Keep at most 4 weapons, a pile of ammo, and 100 scrap/bulk of each type. If you're running a shotgun class you don't need 3 Fat Mans in your stash. Pro tip, Mini nukes and missiles weigh a lot. If you aren't planning on using them when you pick them up, don't put them in your stash. Same with grenades. USE THOSE EXPLOSIVES.

    I really enjoy this game and having the chance to play it with friends is really nice. If there was one thing I could change about the game, I'd add a Dragon Rend to make those Scorch Beasts land on the ground. It's unfair to melee characters.    … Expand

    Albeit a rocky launch, Fallout 76 has been making strides to correct bugs and update the game with QoL features. The performance is still a little iffy, even on decent PC's but tweaking settings and such can get it to run pretty smoothly. So far I've been enjoying my time exploring and questing, just like I had in New Vegas or the Capital Wasteland.

    Now, This game is not a perfect game. Server Instability tends to be the worst issue I've had playing this game. I've run into the issue of being kicked out of various exploration places only to be placed outside again, still missing ammo and medical supplies, and having to start over. It's not a great feeling, but I never expected the launch of a huge game like this to be 100% Stable, and I've only run into two server crashes in my entire playtime. So it's annoying, but not awful.

    The Textures are ripped straight out of Fallout 4, not really a bad thing, but save for a few texture differences on some enemies and items. It's very much Fallout 4.

    The Biggest thing I think this game has going for it so far, is the environmental story telling, taking it slow and steady, you can get a feel of how some of these homesteads fell apart, and what some people's last moments might have been.

    The Building does feel a little bit of a step down from Fallout 4, mostly because everything has to be connected to bases and walls, and clipping through other items isn't allowed. However, this is probably mostly just to do with the fact the camps can be moved whenever, and dropped into new zones, so the buildings sort of had to make sense. The camp also seems to spawn the items from the ground up, so having them connected makes sense. You can still make some whacky buildings though, it just takes building and removing foundations and messing with Ladders.

    As of this review, the Stash Box you have, can only carry 400 lbs of stuff. Not 400 different items, 400 LBS of stuff, so its' like a stationary extra inventory slot, that eventually can be filled and not accept more items. This is somewhat aggravating for those who like to pick everything up and scrap stuff. But the developers also added a way to condense your materials down into lighter bulk loads if you have a tinkers bench and plastic.

    The Perk Card systems fun to mix and match, though sometimes you'll just get unlucky and not get nice cards from your packs. This can slow down stuff a little, but if you keep at it, you'll get everything your wanting.

    Overall, this is a pretty average game. I hope Bethesda continues to support it, so that they can make it better. So I'm giving it a 5/10. It's very Average, it' is fun though, and I'm hoping things improve from here.    … Expand

Is there a story? Yes. Does the environment change AT ALL as you play through the "story" and experience it? Not at all. The beauty of past Fallout games was that every action you made as you progressed had a consequence in the world. When you made a critical mission decision, you would hear about it on the radio a few hours of gameplay later, relationships in the world would change, and you would feel like you were molding the beautiful virtual worlds as you spent your time exploring them. They were wonderfully immersive games. Even when the gameplay was cluttered by base building and junk hauling in Fallout 4, those base themes/mechanics were still present and very well done... This game is not a game for Fallout fans. It is a game for MMORPG players who want a change of scenery like a Fallout setting. I put in the time to make sure I wasn't missing the point, and the game hasn't been played again since. If you are an MMORPG fan, there are a lot of games that will serve you better than this one.

    Честно не могу понять почему столько не довольных, графика старая? Вы дураки господа.
    Графика вполне не плоха, геймплей мне нравится больше чем в 4 части.

    At first day of release, this game doesn't really deliver. Bugs and straight bad game design have ruined the launch (inventory limitation forcing players to walk instead of run). I really hope Bethesda learn of it but between this and Elder Scrolls Online it is obvious they have lost the capacity to produce serious deep games. It's all about money now for this company.

    That said, Fallout 76 can still be still fun and addictive. The world is immersive and requires a lot of patience, too much for 90% of the gaming population thus the hate: One must listen to audio files and read through entire paragraphs to get a sense of Fallout post- war world.
    Leveling is interesting through a system of distributed points and cards.

    As an online game, with time, bugs will be ironed out and we will see QoL improvements.
    A first patch is coming a week after launch already and they have yet to announce the details.
    So hope is not lost.
    I give it a 8/10 because fact is I have already sunk more than 50 hours and I am having a blast despite of all the problems.    … Expand

    Сейчас популярно критиковать новые тендеции на рынке игроиндустрии. Но я выше этого и скажу прямо: эта игра шедевр. Компания Бесезда создала совершенно революционный проект. Пусть многим фанатам старых частей Фаллаута не понравилась эта игра, но они уже стары и ничего не понимают. В этой игре есть все. Интересные квесты, сюжет. Система крафта - она полностью описывает жизнь в России.Сейчас популярно критиковать новые тендеции на рынке игроиндустрии. Но я выше этого и скажу прямо: эта игра шедевр.

Интересные квесты, сюжет. Система крафта - она полностью описывает жизнь в России. Стрельба стала лучше. Скорость игрока зависит от частоты кадров. Вот это я понимаю экспериенс. Тут нету багов. Это такое восприятие мира у игроков. Если у вас не прогружаются анимации, предметы прилипают к вам, земля становится мыльной, то это не баги, это ваш персонаж получил болезнь связанную с восприятием. В этой игре есть система болезней - а это большой шаг вперед. Вообще не понимаю зачем в игре нужны нпс, здесь их нет и это круто, передает всю атмосферу постапокалипсиса. А ещё здесь можно запускать ядерные ракеты - ну не мечта ли любого жителя ядерных сверхдержав? Ну у меня маленькая претензия по поводу названия одних мобов - горелые. Почему бы не назвать их копченые? Вообщем я даю игру твердую десятку, эта игра покорило мое русское сердечко.… Expand

    they fixed a lot of what was wrong with fallout 4 in this game. although there are glitches there are way less than with fallout 4's release. the game is not perfect. there are not enough NPCS or human NPCS lets say. but the guns are way better and more real in this one. the game runs smoother with less lag . there is a lot of potential here.50 percent of those who complain didnt want athey fixed a lot of what was wrong with fallout 4 in this game. although there are glitches there are way less than with fallout 4's release. the game is not perfect. there are not enough NPCS or human NPCS lets say. but the guns are way better and more real in this one. the game runs smoother with less lag . there is a lot of potential here.50 percent of those who complain didnt want a multiplayer fallout .

    Very interesting and entertaining game that is yet to be optimized. Existing problems and glitches personally failed to spoil my enjoyment of the game.

    At first I had mixed feelings, but it takes a little time to get used to this game, and then the fun starts!

The gameplay is very versatile to how you want to approach it, barring some moments where doing things alone is not really the sane thing to do. The approach to PVP while having some glaring flaws, mostly does what it is designed to do and does it well. The story is very subdued with the player deciding on how to approach it, even skipping vast portions of it if so inclined. An interesting take to be sure, but makes the story feel lackluster. The most unenjoyable thing is the lack of human npc's whatsoever. When they tease you about finding someone living, makes you want it even more badly. The entire worlds vibe is thrown off by the lack of them.… Expand

    I do not understand who shreds this game, I find it absolutely valid. I'm having fun playing it, the world to explore is the best of the fallout series. I'm sorry for those who give low marks just to comply with the mass. There are problems in the game, but they are not so serious as to prevent players from having fun.

    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]
