    Started playing this a few weeks ago so I missed a lot of the bugs and things people were complaining about, but even now they are still working on it. A 3GB update was applied just a few days ago. No rules PVP server being added beginning of March which sounds like a blast. Gonna be a nervous wreck but it sounds fun. Announced there's going to be more additions like raids to the game too.Started playing this a few weeks ago so I missed a lot of the bugs and things people were complaining about, but even now they are still working on it.

    The game IS Fallout. If you like Fallout you'll like this.. There's plenty of things to do in the game. It's practically identical to Fallout 4 and uses a lot of the same assets. Every 2-4 weeks they've been adding GBs of content and updates too. I am very happy with the money I spent on this. I find it hard to believe there's so many zero ratings. I think a lot of these people haven't even tried the game yet and are just being tools riding the rage train.

    Anyways bout the game. It's Fallout.. It's fallout, it's fallout... You either like Fallout or you hate it.

    Graphics are great but if you really want to customize them you need to find the ini file and edit the settings there. Game uses a lot of the assets from Fallout 4 so you'll see a lot of familiar things.
    It is a resource hog so with a decent rig you're gonna struggle with framerate. (get used to tweaking)

    Sound is good but could use some better 3D positioning. The vertical position is a lil off and obstructions don't alter the sound as it should. Like if I hear you shoot a gun on the other side of a house it will sound no differ if I remove that house.

    Gameplay is typical Fallout 3,4. It really doesn't feel much differ accept vats is in real time so you have to be quick if your build focuses on using it. Lot of guns, melee weps, explosives to choose. Typical first/thirdperson shooter with melee. Almost feels like Dying Light but without the parkour. Instead you have mech suits with jetpacks and mutations that make your run faster or jump higher.
    PVP is meh.. Because if you attack someone they only take like 5% damage UNLESS they fight back and THEN they take full damage from your attacks. SO that leaves out the stealthy sneaky builds to initiate a fight, but that's why in March they are going to release a unrestricted PVP server and THAT is in my opinion when everyone should pick up the game. It's be much more exiting knowing anyone can wack you at any moment and take your stuff (just junk, not your gear). There's also a public base mechanic where you take over a base already in the world in order to get certain loot over time as you control it. Other players can contest that base and try to steal it and you have to fight them off. You are however able to build turrets and other defenses to protect it from them and waves of occasional monsters.
    Perk system, stat distribution, and mutations are extensive. I highly recommend looking into an online planner to plan your character's build. There's just thousands of ways you can build your character. It's practically unlimited depending on your combo of gear, mutations, perks, whether or not you use Power Armor and/or what type of legendary effects you have on your normal armor...

    Content isn't bad. There's a few dozen differ enemies. A month in and I still haven't seen everything. Granted I've just been grinding away instead of doing the story or side missions. Which I only just started working on. Weapons can be upgraded like barrel, stock, receiver, magazine/clip, scope, etc plus you can find legendary versions with mutators like making the ammo explosive. Kinda like Borderlands. Can build your own base then pack it up and deploy it where ever you want. The world itself is pretty big. Definitely bigger than fallout 4. Quests aren't bad either and a lot of them will kinda force people together whether to kill each other or work together.

    I enjoyed Fallout 4 and I pretty much got what I expected from Fallout 76. I'm not a huge story guy so lacking NPCs really didn't do much for me as I usually skip the dialog and just hurry back to the fighting anyways. There are NPCs but they are just voices over a radio that give you missions, robots that sell stuff, or this one traveling super mutant merchant and his pet cow.
    It has some quarks but from what I see Bethesda has and is making an honest attempt at correcting things as they come up. So far it looks like every month they release patches and updates and quite big ones too.
    I can definitely see where people are coming from at release though. The game did have a lot of game breaking crap wrong with it. I guess I'm just lucky I started after most of that got fixed. Just a bummer that I'm stuck playing legit with a bunch of people that exploited the game, BUT when the pure PVP server comes out everyone will have to start over so I'm really looking forward to that.    … Expand

    Spent more than 100 hours in this game.
    Reached Level 250 with two chars.

    This game is a scam. Seriously
    Glitches and Bugs aside this game is nothing than trying to get as much money from players as possible.
    If you dont know how the game is by now just search review on youtube.
    This game is utterly broken and lives from microtransactions!

It takes the better part of a whole day, messing about with updates- and updates are at least twice a month. You expect people to buy content (which should be free with the game, as far as I'm concerned, as the game is far from cheap in comparison to the cost of materials). You have dissapointed everyone who has bought this abortive attempt at escapism. You should be ashamed of yourselve for this mess! I will never buy anything from Bethesda ever again. I want my money back! I am so annoyed with you, for my partner having to just sit around waiting for you guys to pull your socks up. This will ruin you guys - and I wouldn't be surprised if you started getting law suits against you. This game is garbage - do yourselves a favour..... do not buy!… Expand

    How you rate this game will very much depend on how you approach it, or what you want from it...

    If you want a deep mix of multiplayer, PvP and story telling...well you are s..t outta luck. Approaching from that standpoint, this game is going to hurt your feelings. On the other hand. If you approach it looking for a single-player, tried and tested shooter, simple survival game, then    How you rate this game will very much depend on how you approach it, or what you want from it...

    On the other hand. If you approach it looking for a single-player, tried and tested shooter, simple survival game, then you might just enjoy this game.

    The problem here, is that Bethesda decided to use us as free testers to see if they could do multiplayer. It turns out they can't, and we paid the price.
    They decided to jump on the cynical cash cow that is micro-transactions and loot, like so many other scummy game companies out there today. And like the other game games companies they have come to the harsh understanding that we won't swallow their BS anymore (see Anthem as an example of public revolt against shallow online garbage).

    Yes, Bethesda played VERY dirty (no refunds, changing pre-order conditions, getting greedy etc.) And yes, this game isn't really a multiplayer game, but if you want a sort of lonelier Fallout 4.5, then it's actually quite fun to explore, read lore, blow stuff up (assuming Beth don't nerf your guns, mid-play).

    All the zero scores are a bit harsh, but I can understand why, given Beth's treatment of their fan base. Personally I've enjoyed it as a single-player game, but nothing more. It's worth a shot if you can get it cheap, and it seems maybe Bethesda have learned a hard lesson and cleaned up their act a bit.    … Expand

The recent announcement of Repair kits in ATOM store only had me login just to update my comments and drop my score. Most items I've calling out below are still true. I'm a long time fan of the Fallout series and was excited to see this new online version hit the streets. Watched all the videos and learned all the "Before B.E.T.A." details I could fine. I broke down and created a Metacritic account for the first time just to provide feedback as a LOT of folks are stating this game is getting negative bombed. Well - it sort of deserves some of the negative feedback based on it's $60 for a "New" game, but we got sort of the same things we had in Fallout 4 + DLC.

    I'm not giving this a high score as I feel like it's still in BETA and should have seen BETA 2 months ago to course correct all the major items they are now starting to address as targets to be completed this year.

    My major issues with the game include the following:

    1. Stash Capacity has to be my #1 issue with this game. For a game that requires you to constantly Eat, Drink, Heal, Upgrade Gear and fix your gear you would think an unlimited Stash would have been default.

    2. BUGS - lots of baddies getting head stretched out and/or can't see them. Gun shots going off and nobody is nearby. Hammering noise from certain direction of map (No matter where I go on Map).

    3. Base CAMP has major issues with blueprint storage, duplicate issues, over capacity, etc. When I'm over budget and delete several items and still can't even put a bed down - it's a big problem.

    4. Voice active by default and no Push to Talk (Coming soon), but this was mind blowing to me.

    5. Costs of repairing is not in line with the realistic number of items you find. Same is true with Vendors and CAPS not being realistically available. (I buy 200 caps of items then they have 200 more caps I can sell stuff against)

    6. Server Disconnects really punish the player in this game. If you are in the middle of a quest you come back into another server and no accomplishments. If you happen to just capture, repair and upgrade a massive resource node and Disconnect (You are going to hate this game then). I've spent time collecting materials to build out a resource base only to have a disconnect lose everything.

    7. This game - looks like Fallout 4 with updated mechanics for Events and Online play. The engine and most of the textures seem near identical to our FO4 games.

    8. Can't play with my XBOX friends (I'm on a PC) and we have tried multiple tricks and even a couple forum post tricks with no luck (maybe it's broken or maybe it's just never going to happen). Playing cross PC/Xbox with friends is about the only "Cool" thing with this right now and it's not working.

    Most of these items are negative in nature and I'm not here to just slam on the game. I think it has some great potential, but right now it's really still in BETA for those that started playing on Launch day and we really saw "Alpha v2.0" during the limited BETA periods. I'd wait at least a couple months (2019) before purchasing this game as it's got some major issues to resolve first.    … Expand

Many of the games issues stem directly from being an online only game. I am constantly playing will lag, damage takes about half a second to register and many shots seem to miss despite aiming at the target. Enemies sometime spawn, but are not animated until you attack them. Other players are also a big issue, not necessarily by intent, but many time i have encountered other players during 'events' and they are often much higher level than me, meaning i am basically useless during the event as higher level players are just one hitting every enemy, whilst i have to shoot them several times. I have had other people approach my area after i have killed all the enemies, only for the other player to inadvertently trigger all the enemies to respawn and at a higher level. Leaving me surrounded by high level enemies that i have already killed.
    There is also next to no story in the game. No NPCs. No plot motivation. The small amount of meaningless story is delivered through occasional holotape recordings and terminal entries or notes to read. But even those are hard to actually consume seeing that the game is online, you can't pause. Therefore stopping to read a note or hack a computer leaves you standing there whilst enemies are free to attack you. Not very immersive in the story if i feel i need to rush read so i dont get attacked.
    In general the game feels like a chore to play, with nearly no motivation to play. No story. And the Looting really isnt very great either, i rarely find any stash of interesting loot and i dont feel rewarded for any of my actions in game.

    I have just come back to the game to give it another go. Maybe they fixed the issues from launch?
    Well, not really. Certainly LESS bugs, but still buggy. Lag issues still persist (likely on part because my internet is trash, but despite that other game have very little issues with lag). And the game still feels very empty and pointless.

    Cant recommend this game at all really. Some people seem to enjoy it, and i guess if you can see past all the issues, then maybe you could enjoy it, playing with a group of friends may be enjoyable for a short time?
    If they added the option to play entirely client side (offline), then that would likely improve at least my experience. But even with that, the game will still be empty and pointless.

    As a side not regarding reviews of this game: Many people think its fair to give this game a 0 whilst others think 10. Both are very wrong, really no game is zero, and very few would have justified reason for giving them a 10. Perhaps people should think more fairly about how they review rather than be angry at the game or at people who say bad things about something you enjoy. Fallout 76 is objectively a bad game, that doesn't mean no one can enjoy it.    … Expand

    Now it seems to me, the best way to experience the wonders of fallout 76 is to not listen to any reviews posted in and around the beta stage of the game and just play it for yourselves, they are all mostly wrong, way too negative and that to me seems odd, I explored the game and found very little that was being said, I heard rumors that they weren’t being paid enough, who knows, they certainly tried hard enough to kill the game before it could grow and develop.

    For whatever the reason is for all the negatives for this game, it’s beautifully designed, the weather systems seem dynamic and constantly changing, so the game world might look all grey and dull but on other days, bright and full of color.

    When you leave the vault, you are dumped into a mystery, you see signs of life but only dead bodies remain, and you soon come to realize that something else has recently happened to change what was already a world in a mess to become an even bigger graveyard.

    The story unfolds before you in many ways, a lot via diaries found on terminals but a lot are found scattered around the map, a skeleton of a woman found slumped over her pram, while surrounded by bodies of dogs, many of these set scenes are chilling, while some are damn right funny.

    If you are expecting a coop version of Fallout 4, this isn’t it, if you wish to explore a fallout world with other players, then Fallout 76 is for you, you can complete it with friends or solo it all the way to the end.

    My favorite part of the game is the base building, it allows you to claim a small part of the map as your home, to build the type of home your fallout survivor would love to build.

    Just see for yourself, if you loved the other fallout worlds, you should love this, and don’t fret over the fallout lore too much, there are reasons for most of it if not all.

It is impossible to take the world in Fallout 76 seriously when almost every character you hear or read about in the game is female and it is so obvious how they are trying to push the "strong womanz" agenda.

It is impossible to take the world in Fallout 76 seriously when almost every character you hear or read about in the game is female and it is so obvious how they are trying to push the "strong womanz" agenda. There is even a sort of super hero underground "batman" base with super skilled women "super heroes" who appraently can kill 100 of raiders on their own. Just now reading in one database in the game about some guy named Freddy who is a real badass and miss his girl. Oh wait, no wait, "his" name was actually Freddie and it was a girl and it was her girlfriend she was talking about. The whole game is filled with this.

    There is no wonder that Bethesda has started to fall from their grace in the quality of their games falter when they concentrate more on hiring for "diversity" instad of competence and it show right through in their games now (Just like what happened with Bioware and Mass Effect). It is no wonder their "throne" is being overtaken by companies like CD Project RED that actually has some integrity with their games and try to focus on making quality products instead of pushing some pathetic political agenda.

    The second reason this game gets a zero is that there is absolutely no point in having this game online, and it is likewise as obvious it is only done because they hope to be able to get more money that way. Having this game online just annoying when their servers crash, you get lag and there are other annoying players nearby who just distract. I even disconnect sometimes when entering a new area where there are other players to see if I can reconnect where there are no players around. There is absolutely no reason this game should not have an "offline" mode, besides because of the $$$.    … Expand

    Мне игра понравилась, затягивает, вот пишут скучно, ничего подобного если вы играли в четверную часть все тоже самое. Не слушайте чужое мнение я тоже сначала думал что не стоит покупать раз так все поливают игру грязью , купил и не пожалел эта игра мне очень понравилась, атмосфера локации намного разнообразнее чем в четвертой части.Мне игра понравилась, затягивает, вот пишут скучно, ничего подобного если вы играли в четверную часть все тоже самое.

    I feel like Fallout 76 is finally hitting its stride as I play with friends and we are near the end of main story and I have logged over 90 hrs into this game and its various activities. Most of game breaking bugs have been fixed and I am really enjoying this game. You just need to realize that this game is different in the sense is it is truly a social experience    Update: March 2, 2019

    I feel like Fallout 76 is finally hitting its stride as I play with friends and we are near the end of main story and I have logged over 90 hrs into this game and its various activities. Most of game breaking bugs have been fixed and I am really enjoying this game. You just need to realize that this game is different in the sense is it is truly a social experience and those who go alone will be disappointed. I am still upset that this game was such a disaster for months after launch however I am updating my score in hope of Bethesda adding meaningful DLC to keep this game going as I would like to continue my shared adventure in Appalachia.

    This is the worst version of Fallout I have played. Fallout 76 is an empty world with no hint of a story and no motivation to spend hours walking through this empty wasteland. The constant harassment of the new hunger meter, thirst meter, and disease meters combined with online play make this game feel like a large scale mobile phone game that your not supposed to put down. The inclusion of the paid in game store currency "atom" supports this point. The quest system constantly spams your screen and I have found several major quests unplayable due to major bugs. The event system seems great in theory but it has you walking all over the wasteland to further pad the game with pointless objectives. Save your caps and skip this one.    … 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]
