Да, тут хватает багов (как и в любимом многими новом Человеке-пауке, например), и есть недоработки по геймплею.

    Piss poor game. Limits my freedom of speech to a high degree, and I am always feeling like I'm under the watchful eye of big brother Bethesda. If you guys wanted to make an open world simulator, please do it right and actually allow people to play the game as they intend, lest you want to end up bankrupting your company.

    After playing few hours my feeling was that Bethesda just don't care about getting dirty for a grab of money anymore. The company is ready to go really far.

    It feels like an artist who had 2 awesome songs suddenly has an ego of god. "I can do anything with my fans, I can literally crap in a plate and make them eat it and laugh at them". But sorry, you went too far with that one.    After playing few hours my feeling was that Bethesda just don't care about getting dirty for a grab of money anymore.

    While the lack of humanoid NPCs in the game hurts the storytelling, narrative, and overall depth of the quests in Fallout 76, the game still manages to intrigue to a decent extent.

    To start, the environmental storytelling might be the franchise at its best, but most of the actual quests given by non-human NPCs, terminals, holotapes, letters, exc. begin to feel same in execution, despite having genuinely interesting and compelling story arcs. The amount of quests is heavy, more than any previous game, but they're very often repetitive and require more reading and listening than actual reacting and participating; to be fair, the stories told as I've previously mentioned are good, sometimes amazing, but a lot remains to be desired due to lack of variation.

    The impromptu events are often quite fun, but often also require real teamwork and communication to accomplish; there is where Fallout 76 either thrives outright or falls flat, depending solely on the experience you have with over players in the game. With teamwork and cooperation, these encounters and missions are often thrilling and extremely rewarding, but with a incompetent passive squad, they feel un-engaging and tedious. The experience depends solely on how you work with others.

    As for PvP, well it's really just a broken, pointless, more so annoying mechanics that serves almost no purpose in the game other than claiming that it's a thing. It's shallow, unfun, boring, and offers no thrill and virtually no reward.

    That being said teaming up with friends and co-oping is the best part of this game outside of environmental storytelling, and this is where Fallout 76 separates itself from the pack. It's quite invigorating to complete quests and events as a squad, as well as discovering new places, their hidden secrets, and defeating West Virginia's mythological creatures together. Genuinely, I believe this would have better off as a co-op experience solely with no PvP elements.

    Mechanically it plays like a refined Fallout 4; imagine Fallout 4, but far better. Performance can be hit or miss, and suffers greatly on consoles, but visually this is the best looking Fallout game, and the best looking game on Bethesda's aging Creation Engine. Some of the textures can appear muddy or bland, but the color pallet is vibrant, and the lighting effects are top notch.

    The final thing is the crafting and survival mechanics, which aren't extremely engaging, but at the same time not that much of a nuance; it's a mechanic in the game, it makes things slightly more interesting and raises the stakes a bit higher, but overall it just gives you a reason to explore your environment thoroughly and keep you a little bit more occupied.

    The map is over 4 times the size of Fallout 4's commonwealth, and the locations are varied and interesting. The world is a highlight of this overall mediocre, what what you want out of it game.

    Fallout 76 isn't bad, it's just made some bad directional decisions. It contains elements of the franchise at both its absolute best and absolute worst. Overall, it's just kind of okay, but definitely worth playing with friends if you're big into Fallout.    … Expand

    Updating my review from a 10 to a 5. This game just doesn't work. I have never seen a AAA title that crashes so much. It's fun playing with friends when the game works, but it hardly ever works. Bethesda and Todd Howard should be ashamed of themselves.

    The main elements of what made fallout games immersive: the story and the colourful characters are missing. Without those things, the dodgy physics, bad connection and bugs stand out way too much to be forgiven. Sadly whether you were hoping for a fallout game or a MMORPG in a fallout universe, you'll be disappointed. It's 95% filler... and 5% broken dreams.

    A good idea executed badly across the boards, with a lot of evidence that Bethesda did not prioritize the customer with any of their decision-making during the development or marketing of this game.

    It is a mediocre effort unworthy of the Bethesda legacy, and offers little of the Fallout brand's personality and style beyond the purely aesthetic, and it doesn't even manage that well.

    It is a mediocre effort unworthy of the Bethesda legacy, and offers little of the Fallout brand's personality and style beyond the purely aesthetic, and it doesn't even manage that well.

    At its best, Fallout 76 is an opportunity for you and a friend or three to romp around a gameworld made to look like part of the Fallout world, and if all you really wanted out of the game was that, you might be perfectly happy with it.

    Don't bother looking for rich story (there is very little), compelling characters (there are very nearly none) or a tapestry of lore to explore (everything you'll learn about post-apoc Appalachia will come from computer terminals and audio logs, with very little exception).

    This design decision to have no NPC's and no driving storylines makes playing Fallout 76 feel like a study in futility. You can pick a direction and go in it, but it won't matter. There's nobody of interest to find, no storylines to stumble across and a tremendous amount of repetitious quests that all bleed into eachother after a few hours and become a mindless exercise in numbing tedium.

    By the time you wind up having some random nobody from the internet follow you around for half an hour making stupid noises in the Microphone and asking you about your genitals, you might just be grateful for the break in monotony.    … Expand

    Fallout 76, is a poorly done fallout 4 multiplayer mod at best, on a larger map, with microtransactions and an absolutely staggering amount of bugs.

    The lack of polish and lazy development game mechanics in this game is something I would expect from an early access indie publisher that dumps their garbage all over steam.

    The graphics are pretty decent especially when it comes to foliage, the rest of the textures seem to be recycled from fallout 4, the game play and weapon handling outside of vats is identical to fallout 4, with the only exception being that you are constantly fighting a storage limit in your stash at the mid/late game in FO76. and the small increase coming is nowhere near enough, and the base building limit is absolutely pathetic.

    While i expected the FO76 to have some bugs as all Bethesda games are very buggy anyways, fallout 76 is probably the buggiest AAA, or even early access game ever released and probably will ever be released. it is almost impressive how many there are in this game. From T posed characters, mismatched animation bugs and movement bugs, textures disappearing, containers slow/infinite loading bugs, weapon texture and ads bugs, reload bugs, many many status effect bugs/glitches/exploits, including the weight glitch that is being exploited by many players, equipment durability bugs & status effect bugs, crafting menu bugs, pipboy bugs, cloaking bugs, scope texture misalignment after reloading bug, melee bugs, and base building bugs, enemy spawning bugs, and enemy clipping into the terrain bugs, an impressive variety of quest bugs,and the thousands of bugs you could probably find on the official forums, It is impossible to play for more than 3 mins (other than standing still and even then you would be lucky not to see one) before seeing an immersion breaking or frustrating bug. you could almost pick any random word out of your imagination and there would be at least two or three bugs in FO76 that would relate to it!

    To say that this game needed another whole year in development to fix the bugs alone, is an understatement. let alone add some semblance of a real story not to mention human NPCs, that would have made it fun. people who are giving this a 10/10 must be out of their mind.

    As much as I have tried to enjoy this game and have had some fun at times, I still find myself utterly disappointed, and jared by the incompetence of Bathesda, by what they did to this game and how they charged $60 for the privilege of the most incomplete AAA title of the decade.

    I have been a huge Fallout/Elder scrolls fan for a long time, and to have Bathesda pull this stunt on its loyal fan base is utterly insulting, I swear will never pre-order another title from Bathesda as long as I live. my outlook for Elder Scrolls 6 and Starfield is now nonexistent.    … Expand

    The game itself bland and unexciting and I bet that there is more excitement from a morgue on a dull day then you would get from this game.

    Then there is Bethesda handling of their customers. Ranging with the handling of their $200 dollar Collectors Edition to customers requesting refunds for the game.

    I requested a refund on the game like many others and received an automated response which have upset a great deal of people.
    And I quote,
    "Greetings,

    Thank you for contacting the Bethesda Support Team.

    Customers who have downloaded the game are not eligible for a refund. We apologize for the inconvenience.

    If there is anything else we can assist you with please reply to this email for further assistance.

    Thank you for your patience.

    Kind Regards,

    Bethesda Support"

    First of all, just by downloading the game, you no longer eligible for a refund. I call nonsense on this. How are people suppose to know if the game is good or bad. The only way is to download the game and play it. Yes, you can go to game news sites or watch videos about the game. But there will be a few sites and videos praising how great the game is.
    At least with Steam, they have procedures when it comes to digital games. You can ask for a refund within 14 day and haven't played the game for more then 2 hours.

    At this point, Bethesda is still digging their own grave due to all the anti-customer practices they are doing on a daily basis. Right now, the depth of the their grave has gone past the 6 feet mark and is just going straight down.

    Bethesda needs to sort out all of their problems involving Fallout 76 and it's customers. If they don't, I can see that their next few games won't do so well because of how they handled Fallout 76.

    As for me, I will be more weary on buying any more of Bethesda's games in the future. I will wait a month or 2 and see if the game is worth even buying.    … 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]
