    Under no circumstances is a full-priced game with microtransactions acceptable to me.
    $60 is too much for a game like this
    F76 is cash flow optimized to milk the customers.
    Bethesda should rather change their engine and publish bug-free games.

    Bethesda is the only real game making company, because they only make one game over and over again KEK.

    After playing the game for 50+ hours I feel like there's not much content left. The game is fun with friends but is boring when solo. The Fps spikes on console makes you only able to use semi-auto or slow shooting fully automatic guns. The pvp system needs a lot of work, respawns shouldn't be right next to the other player also when PvPing on console the game crashes or experiences lagAfter playing the game for 50+ hours I feel like there's not much content left.

    My overall experience of fallout 76 was okay but Bethesda ripped off players who bought the game early with changing the price 1 week later. Also they basically copy and pasted fallout 4 and made very little improvements if any from fallout 4, they have the same glitches that were present in fallout 4.    … Expand

    2 minutes ago I registered a metacritic account just to **** on this shell of a game, it have no substance, empty as hell and the control feels like it was made by digital homicide, the graphics looks horrifyingly horrible compare to every 2018 games that is made by other "big companies", and the server crash on a daily basis.

Bathesda is clearly milking this game so they can have enough budget for fallout 5. DON'T BUY THIS GAME.

    Edit: and enough with this "everyone have their own opinion" bs, there is a clear difference between "opinions" and facts, the fact that Bethesda made a half made, bug rendered game is just pathetic, it is getting old that people are still super defensive towards Bethesda and their "quality games" after all these years with little to no change. And in the counter of "I enjoy this game with my friends" statement, well no **** **** you dip****, anything can be fun with friends, even watching Boku no Pico is fun with friends, but should anyone watch a child gay porn just because "it is fun with friends"?? Hell nah. Bethesda stripped everything good out of the fallout franchise and expected people to like it, well that 80% sale drop is the direct **** you" response to Bethesda from fans, and I am glad that a big company finally gets punished by their ****ty actions    … Expand

    This game used the same engine, assets, and coding, of Fallout 4. With all that in mind - they knowingly - released a game with NO Story line, NO NPC's, NO combat system (they removed VATS) - there is nothing left to say. Oh! They added online play, and a lot of microtransactions to the game.

    A "3" is the MAXIMUM Bethesda "deserves" for this steaming hot pile of Brahmin poo. Fallout 76 is an empty, meaningless world that gives the player no purpose.

The PvP is a horrendous duel-style system that negates the possibility of having full-fledged faction battles or ambushing your prey. I don't know why Bethesda didn't just add a passive or aggressive option that could be toggled on or off. Pass the slew of bugs and unfulfilled promises, lies this mockery of a micro-transaction system that exemplifies the sudden interest for several developers to be just like the free-to-play success that is Fortnite. This game is so bad that I play it only when my friends are online because that's the only way a person can get an iota of fun out of this game. My friend and I got ambushed by at least 20 super mutants in Grafton by the school and luckily the intense action didn't crash the server for us. Vote with you wallet. I would only consider buying it if it went on sale after it's fixed for 20 or 25 dollars… Expand

    Only glitches, horrible visuals, bugs, high price and total disappointment. Graphical side isn't the most important, there is just nothing to do, it's not an rpg, and not even an MMO, it's not even an online shooter, it's weak attempt to make an online mod for fallout 3 in my opinion. Very bad, i would say it's incredibly bad, nobody expected that, no no no.

    What Fallout 76 is suffering from is not a gameplay problem, but an entitled gamer problem.

    Gamers can't seem to handle the fact that a) they're not the Main Character and b) they have to read and listen to holotapes and notes to get the lore rather than have an NPC shovel it to them. Bethesda is amazing at writing lore, and Fallout 76 shines there IF you actually stop to appreciate it.    What Fallout 76 is suffering from is not a gameplay problem, but an entitled gamer problem.

    Todd and Pete never promised us anything in this game other than what was delivered. They didn't promise a new engine or new graphics, etc. What they told us we'd get is Fallout with friends. That's what they delivered. Gamers need to stop expecting every title to be revolutionary. Gamers need to learn to accept games that are just simply Good.

    If anyone out there is disappointed in this game, it's solely because they were expecting something that was never promised to them by the developers. That's on them. Not Bethesda.    … Expand

    not bad, mixed ratings, nice and particular 3d engine software. But the real thing is why ppl be hatin on game tho? The answer is that Fallot 76 has a slighty bad storyline to it, but the rest is all good (Rating for Game: 8/10)

I wanted to love this, I came on here to defend it and gave it a 7/10 and the bugs were SO bad that I had to come back with my hat in my hand asking for forgiveness and posting an edit. This game is bad because its broken and in some ways its even broken fundamentally. Dont buy this game unless you want to find yourself miserable at being stuck unable to play it because of legit game crushing bugs (unable to do damage to mobs or players, no loot dropping, mobs glitching constantly, your character becoming completely stuck and unable to move, or interact with objects or just falling through the world repeatedly (those are 3 separate bugs not just one big super bug).

    ORIGINAL REVIEW LEFT IN BELOW::

    I've probably put several hundred hours into this game already, currently level 80 right now and I have to say that I have thoroughly enjoyed the game. The negative reviews that you see complaining about bugs, glitches and overall wonky behavior in the game are all true. I dont deny the game has issues (hence the 7/10) but overall the world, the lore and the feeling of exploration and just good ole fashion crazy slaughter are all very fun. The nuclear launches are awesome and if you can get a couple of friends to play this with you the game is very rewarding. I am lucky enough to have a a group of 4 that play this with me and I will admit this likely makes a big difference since the lack of push to talk is pretty bad. They are adding many of the things people are complaining about in future patches but overall I certainly wouldn't give this game a 3/10 as it stands now. This game is fun and if you can roll with the punches of some of the weird stuff that can happen then you'll have fun playing it as well.    … Expand

    Worst Fallout game in existence? Yes.

    The lies, the false advertising and the fact this game is just boring to a new level.

    Fanboys will always give it a 10, ignore them.

    I've played every fallout and this has made me extremely disappointed.

    Time to do what I do with EA, not buy their products anymore.

This game, I don't even know where to start. They took out everything that actually made Fallout games fun and then put it online. No NPC's with any kind of memorable features to them, all generic robots. They replaced all the good enemies in other games with The Scorched. So some doofus at Bethesda thought to remove all people from Fallout series, even from the enemies was a good ideal. The game is not stable, the enemies are boring and stupid (as in the AI). Todd Howard said the game would have a story and quests. The quests are extremely boring, and to even get a quest, you have to talk to a deadpan, characterless featureless robot with no personality, or get a quest from a terminal, or a random scrap of paper on the ground. Players cheated to launch nukes on the first day of the game's launch, something that was supposed to take weeks or months to do, crashing a server on day one. There is no push to talk voice communication in the game, even weeks after the launch of the first online-only Fallout game. We were promised a game that had, memorable stories and quests, that was a flat out lie. We were told the game engine was enhanced and new, also another lie, they simply built upon the Fallout 4 game engine, it is obvious just looking at the game. Grouping in the game can only be done if you can actually find a group of people willing to group up, which does not always happen. Solo play in the game is a joke as well, even though Todd Howard said you could solo play, as in ignoring the other players on the server with you, it isn't actually a feature. You can 'Solo' play in WoW but that isn't something you actually want to do, it feels the same in Fallout 76. This is the worst game Bethesda has released so far, and it is plainly obvious they released it in a fractionally finished state. Graphical bugs galore everywhere, light sources coming straight out of the ground, from inside of a tree or object instead of from the sun, or an actual light source, falling through the ground has happened numerous times as well. I truly regret buying this game as I feel as though I have been had by the E3 presentation as the game is nothing like I was told it would be. For now, I give this game 0 out of 10 in its current state.… 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]
