    Fallout 76 is a sad and pitiful act. Much like the source from whence it came. I feel nothing but sadness now, seeing once beloved Bethesda so tragically twisted by greed and blinded by arrogance.
    Fallout 76 lacks any redeeming technical and narrative merit. In the history of games in general, and its developer in particular, Fallout 76 is like one of those `after shots` of meth addicts.    Fallout 76 is a sad and pitiful act.

    No story, boring quests, bad performance, bad graphics, bad PVP system and many bugs. Worst Fallout game ever. Please don´t buy it.

    EDIT: Now 76 got a 100$ subscription. wtf?

    It's a bad game. 16 times the bugs. Graphics in this game are awful. Bethesda hates gamers and her own fans.

    In response to player willingness to make purchases in the Atom shop and out of pure greed, Bethesda removed the ability to repair your weapon etc. at a workbench and began charging players for item repair kits. This is bait and switch marketing. it is a low down dirty way to take advantage of customers who have already invested money and time into a version of the game that was sold with entirely different mechanics. Personally I will never buy another Bethesda game again for such shady backhanded business practices. I didn't even get into all the people they ripped off with shoddy merchandise.    … Expand

    I have put over 400 hours in this game. There is not much to the "game." Its basically just a junk collector time sink. I did enjoy making camps and just wasting time finding crap. So why the review and score? Because of the new subscription. They are making people pay for things that should have been in the game.

    This game is something that can't be allowed to exist; this is a AAA Full Game Cost of a Beta; this game betrays what Fallout is supposed to be.

    I repeat don't spend your money in this kind of trash, and if you own it hoping it will get better wake yourself; Bethesda is now like EA or Activision, they just want your money and don't even care about the game itself.    … Expand

    I paid $140 for this crappy game and now they want me to pay a subscription when I got WOW and WOW classic for nearly half of Fallout's subscription and I get far more for my money as 76 is a disgrace of a game.

    I try to make this as objektive and constructive as possible:
    Povitive Points:
    -unbelievable kind and peacefull even cooperative community -much better (at least german) voice actors than bevor -much better letters and terminal entrys -future implementation of Push2Talk and hopefully a chat for pc -nice workshoplocations and nice (but partially misleading) goodies like the verdiebot    I try to make this as objektive and constructive as possible:
    Povitive Points:
    -unbelievable kind and peacefull even cooperative community
    -much better (at least german) voice actors than bevor
    -much better letters and terminal entrys
    -future implementation of Push2Talk and hopefully a chat for pc
    -nice workshoplocations and nice (but partially misleading) goodies like the verdiebot (i thought you can travel with it, but you cant)
    -performanceimproovements in contrary to fallout 4 and you can look much further than before
    -relatively low required performance (except processor [CPU])
    -you can use the powerarmor without a fusioncore ... but it has a very annoing continous alarm sound that can not be stopped
    -contrary to many people here: The landscape looks manificent even though it is limited through the engine
    -The cameramode and the personal loading screens are a real highlight
    -The atmospheric sound like the weather etc has quite improoved in quallity
    -improoved buildingmenu
    -Big map, like really big but i personally cant imagine that it is 4x the size of fallout 4's map [this is subjective!]
    -i think the nuke system is a realy cool idea that hasnt been there before.
    -the implementation of the local lore is realy good and they dont overuse these enemys ingame
    -nice to be able to change the character any time
    -the free Beta Codes were realy kind!

    Negative Points:
    -in 24 hour gameplay more than 3 hours sorting items out after i wasted and just throw away many items i was still overloadet with barely anything on me (this is nearly gamebreaking)
    -I simply ignore minor graphic bugs, but questbreaking bugs are realy anoing (this is literraly gamebreaking)
    -in most areas the workshop build and stash limit is way like really way to low and has to be much higher
    -Weapons break too fast even with perks that should counter it
    -The Pipboy needs a seperation between food and meds/chems and additionall options to better sort items like for itemweight and complete collective weight of an item e.g.: 1 stimpack ways 1kg then the collective weight of 75 collected stimpacks in my inventory way 75kg. It should be able to sort them this way
    -The buildmenu for the pc needs better controls and not just z and c keys.
    -has possibilty to see if you allready know a recipe or buildingplan when buing them from a vendor of wich there are only a few on the map
    -the game looks good but somewhat too similiar to Fallout 4
    -some seemingly interesting places like the spacestation are just plain empty from story or any kind of life what so ever. There are not even notes (beside for the one door for the space suits) or holotapes or even many new enemys
    -the charactermenu has much to less options for customisation.I would prefer more like the hair etc. options like in the Sims or equivalents.
    -on some points the game reminds me of No Mans Sky or Mass Effect Andromeda: They were not finnished on release
    -Please dont destroy the lore. There has to be some kind of consistence over time and when i see the reason of the supermutants or the BoS this makes me thinking, if this was the right decision (even though Iam a realy big fan of the Brotherhood)

    Conclusion:
    All in all this game reminds me on other big titles like GTA 5 or No Mans Sky. They booth had their flaws at the beginning and were even very empty but and this is where i think Fallout 76 will lead: Besides their flaws that can be corrected, it can and it partially is now a game that is entertaining alone or in groups and it will certainly be better.

    P.S.: One part is still worring me a little bit: The private servers in the relatively far future seem only be hostable by bethesda themselves and lets see where the Atom Points are heading

    Neverending flow of bugs that keep returning. After a hopeful period in the first half of 2019, it shows that ultimately Bethesda's promises are false, they do not populate the game with sufficient new content, they introduce P2W mechanisms and have their players for a cashcow without actually fixing the game first. There are way better alternatives around. Stay away from this!

    Fallout 76 promises to give the player a traditional Fallout single player experience but this time with other players.

Sadly it falls far short of what is acceptable as a AAAFallout 76 promises to give the player a traditional Fallout single player experience but this time with other players. The Fallout games are highly regarded as key player in the RPG genre with strong narratives, quests and world building across a post apocalyptic wasteland where you have to scrounge to survive its inhabitants. Sadly it falls far short of what is acceptable as a AAA launched game.

    Fallouts gunplay has never been it's strong point, it's always been the narrative so when players began to populate Fallout 76 they began to understand this. No NPCs (Non playable Characters) apart from the various wasteland monsters of West Virginia made the game feel tainted and empty. Quests and side quests are handed out from robotic means such as computer terminals or tape decks and some of these quests would be teasing you to find someone, anyone and the sad part is you already knew they were never going to be there. The main quest is a stick and carrot experience and down right insulting to anyone who came into the fray looking for a story.

    Assets and terrains have been completely ripped out of Fallout 4, many models looking ugly and low textured. Structures that are dull, lonely and uninteresting. Granted it is supposed to be post apocalyptic but it doesn't excuse terribly modelled buildings that could be whipped up in a few hours making the rounds from past Fallout games.

    Technically speaking the game is a disaster. Bethesda clings on to the Creation Engine which is dated and flawed and it shows. Bugs are frequent both Physical and Graphical. Despite the game looking as poor as it does it still struggles with performance no matter which platform you are playing.

    Although this is an online game, do not expect social interaction to come easily. Fallout is a chore when it comes to playing with friends you will have to rely to third party means of communication.

    Over time pay to win features have been slowly creeping into the Micro-transactions for the few players still suffering the game.

    If you would like a game that would overall disappoint and confuse you, by all means purchase this game. If you are on the verge of buying it, please consider your options. it's 2019 and innovative games are coming thick and fast.    … 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]
