    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 have officially given up on Bethesda and the Fallout Series. They killed it and for that I will NEVER forgive them... ever !

    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.
    Allowing Bethesda to keep doing this kind of games is the same as never bringing back games like Dishonored which are great at gameplay and history.
    Don't buy this game, send the message, if you want our money give us good games; and if you are

    Don't buy this game, send the message, if you want our money give us good games; and if you are going to sell this kind of broken game (which almost a year later from its launch is still broken) turn an eye to No Man's Sky which started the same but worked for their players and now No Man's Sky is a very good game; Fallout 76 only wants your money while still developing the game, like Battlefield V which took to long to complete and this game is not even moving towards its.
    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.

    It is a full priced AAA Game as a Service pay to win. It is not an MMO (max 24 players in server does not account for title of MMO .. not even close, not to mention this number is only in theory since everything is way too slow with so many people).
    You buy this game to be able to buy subscription to be able to buy items so you can win. Even if the game would go free to play it would rank

    All of the money grubbing free to play mechanics of yesteryear. In beta you could repair your weapon at a workbench like every other fallout game. After launch you could repair your weapon at a workbench like every other fallout game.

    Every update Bethesda would try to entice players to spend more money in their atom shop for cosmetic skins and game objects but, with all of the bugs and bad business; nobody was lining up to pay more for a game that barely worked.
    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.

    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.

    They create a game where you cannot play, after a while, because you get overloaded by scraps in 2 seconds and then they sell you the remedy of limitless inventory?

    Why should I buy the subscrption when with the same money I can get a subscrption elsewhere to play different and whole games?

    In italy there's a "little" organization that first put the danger in the streets, than asks you to pay the protection. Mafia, in its origins name, means "bully" before meaning "criminal organization"; surely Bethesda doesn't kill people but they murdered videogame spirit.

    To the next company that cries because of its own flop I say to learn to respect customers and start to follow a quality product standard like other products in life; I don't think that we would accept the same things that happen with videogames buying, for example, a car:
    "Don't worry, this car doesn't have wheels NOW but with the next patch you'll get the them for free".

    How would you call such a vendor?

    you know it is just funny reading the metacritic reviews. Fallout 76 was basically Imported from Fallout 4 with very little changed. Why did they release it in 2018? god i don't know. if only they released it now they *may* of had a more positive review

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I can not stress enough how bad this game is, but take this review has an entire rating of everything related to the game (Collector’s Edition, Nuka Rum, Fallout 1st). Even though I got the game essentially for free from a bundle, I still feel robbed, like how is it that every single week there’s a new **** up? And this week’s episode of how did Bethesda ****ed up now, the game literally became a creative mode MMO Fallout 4, everybody has god-tier weapons, Preston Garveys as companions and ****ing pridewings. I knew the game was essentially a Fallout 4/ Skyrim re-skin but this actually feels like a mod. TL:DR, **** this game, **** Bethesda and I hope you at least enjoyed the game with your friends or at least returned it before having a rage induced seizure. Expand

    Played the entire game and from beginning to end had a tough time enjoying it. I'm more of a lone wolf when playing, so multiplayer is not really a thing for me, I purchased the game to play by myself, and the way the main missions are setup are very bad, there are big gaps in the required levels to be able to finish a mission even when playing them in the right order...

All of the Time I found myself on a significant below level to complete the quest.

    I'm not going to complain about the launch bugs, because most of then have been fixed throughout the year, I'm just basing myself on my experience playing the game, it's really frustrating, don't know how my experience wold have changed If I played with friend but at this point I'm too disappointed to find out.

    Really enjoyed Fallout 3 & Fallout 4 and had high expectations on Fallout 76 but unfortunately they got shattered.

    I'm not sure if I'll be able to trust Bethesda on another game.

    This game is so bad that it should be illegal. If more companies follow bethesdas lead and make games like this one, I wouldnt be surprised if we end up having another video game industry crash in the future. It will be bethesdas fault, and the people that played/payed for this game's fault..

    If you care about the gaming industry, DONT PLAY THIS GAME!!!

    Fallout 76 is the biggest disappointment out of any game I've ever bought, and quite possibly the worst game I've ever bought. Everyone knows about the controversies like the deceptive marketing with nuka-rum, micro transactions, info leak, canvas bags and bugs. Bethesda has been flat out greedy with the release of this game, and all evidence points towards it. High price tag, atomic shopFallout 76 is the biggest disappointment out of any game I've ever bought, and quite possibly the worst game I've ever bought. Everyone knows about the controversies like the deceptive marketing with nuka-rum, micro transactions, info leak, canvas bags and bugs. Bethesda has been flat out greedy with the release of this game, and all evidence points towards it. High price tag, atomic shop (micro transactions which has non cosmetics now), fallout 1st, and now the new armor packs. Bethesda wants to charge you $13 a month for something that should be free in game, limitless storage. Not to mention these power armor suits you can buy for $20 a piece should be included in game as well. Additionally Fallout 76 has run "exclusive skin" events both in game and through Twitch prime (along with the NCR ranger armor from fallout 1st). Bethesda has outright refused to add these "exclusive skins" to the atomic shop for no reason. Benny's suit from fallout new vegas was included in one of these exclusive twitch prime bundles. I wasn't able to get it and the one time I'm willing to pay money for a cosmetic they refuse. They are locking in game content behind hurdles that shouldn't even exist. Now they have an upcoming season pass, which sounds a lot like a battle pass from fortnite. They even banned players who were making mods (not the cheating kind), reporting exploits, and even banned a player that made a map tool.

    Although this is a multiplayer game, you will be all by yourself most of the time. Honestly, this should have just been an expansion for fallout 4. All the problems with this game both in game and pr disaster make me not want to play it at all and I'm infuriated as I was pre-orderer and an original B.E.T.A tester. The game ran better at beta than it did at launch.

    Bethesda handled fallout 76 so poorly that I decided not to buy Doom Eternal (they added denuvo and screwed over Mick Gordon) so my suspicions were ultimately confirmed. I have no faith in bethesda at this point and currently have no intentions of buying Elder Scrolls 6.

    Also, Bethesda being stubborn and forcing players to use their terrible launcher was dumb, and they have since "corrected" this by putting it on steam. But guess what, atoms don't transfer to steam because screw you. At least they allowed some of their purchases to have a free copy on steam. (as if that would make up for all the other terrible things they've done)

    Players also wanted to have private servers, they wanted to host it themselves. Nope, you gotta pay bethesda to do it for you.

    This is $79.99 and many hours of my time and frustration I will never get back.

    Game can give some fun for like 20 hours. Until lvl 20 it was pretty okay, after that everywhere I've moved I've encountered opponents on lvl +48 which absolutely blocked me with any progress in main quest and side stories. Great music and exploration as always but everything else like engine, design etc would be great when released in 2013.

    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]
