    It's not the game they say ... No real pvp, no MMO mechanism (no corp, only 24 player on map) a lot of bugs. Very bad game, 7 day or Empyrion make better for small price. No communications or bad one. Lots of limitations, very boring. I waste my time to save my weigth 2 times by minutes.

    - Unbelievably bad PC port, missing essential things.

    - Big, empty, boring map, that has nothing for you to do, other than shooting boring enemies/mobs, that respawn almost immediately, and collecting holotapes, that you wouldn't even bother listening to anyway, or staring at boring terminals, which in a Multilayer environment, is a BORRING ANNOYANCE.

BGS litterally thought, that just because this worked in ther SP games, it will work here. Completely clueless.

    - Sub-par, clunky, annoying gameplay, that cannot stand on it's own, when all the "good stuff" (RPG/NPC/STORY/FACTIONS/CHOICES) are missing.

    - 90% reused assets from FO4, which would probably make this game the biggest asset flip in history, even FO4's DLCs had far more new assets... it's insane;

    - Lore retcons, that make no sense, and completely destroy previous established lore, either because they were too lazy to create something new/interesting, or because of their complete CREATIVE BANCRUPCY.

    - Most of the things you do in this game, DOESN'T MAKE SENSE (setting/immersion/gameplay/interactions wise). ZERO effort and common sense.

    - Atrocious graphics, which thanks to their REGRESSIVE "new lighting/rendering update", look worse than FO4, which with it's mostly accurate PBR rendering looked very decent, ESPECIALLY for a BGS game. There is tons of art inconsistency, that they tried to hide with insane amount of postprocessing "smear", and Todd Rays, which looks embarrassing.

    - Insanely unoptimized game, but that's mainly the engine's fault, that doesn't even support things like LODs for meshes/models, LIKE ANY OTHER MODERN ENGINE, which results in huge performance hit, despite their low-quality/outdated 3D assets. This is completely unacceptable in 2018.

    - One of the last objectively good features from FO4, that had the potential to be the ONLY thing that would make me play this game - THE BUILDING/SETTLEMENT system, is COMPLETELY NERFED, probably because of the engine in a MP environment. Where in other games like Conan Exiles, you can do whatever you want, whenever you want, without ANY limitations. The building system in 76 is simply pathetic, and not worth even doing, and with that pretty much goes away the ONLY possible interesting thing/selling point.

    - And the best thing, which is the final nail in the coffin full of fan tears and broken hearts, that is mainly caused by their LAZYNESS with their choice not to put the effort (read: spend money) to put NPCs:

    Z O M B I E S W I T H G U N S!

    This game is an insult, to the franchise, to fans, to casual(unsuspecting) gamers looking for a MP survival game, to people's intelligence, to people's money, TO EVERYTHING. It's poor in EVERY POSSIBLE ASPECT. Nothing redeemable. NOTHING. And it's FULL PRICE $60 + insulting MICROTRANSACTIONS in the face of the atomic store, which is insultingly the most polished "feature" in the game.

    This isn't a game. It is barely the shell of game.

    A mostly non-working trainwreck abusing the franchise name to flog off a mostly dead engine and a whole heap of microtransations.

    Already riddled with hacks to boot. Avoid like the plague.

    Fallout is my beloved franchise, has been since the first game, I love the second game, I enjoyed New Vegas, I didn't like the change of philosophy of Fallout 3 and I was severely disappointed by Fallout 4... I played them all, even the spin-offs, the terrible PlayStation 2 one too. I've seen Fallout at its best and its worst, yet never in my wildest dreams would I expect this.

    The game is glitchy, something everyone forgives Bethesda every, single time. Not this time, not in a multiplayer only game. A balanced, fair and smooth experience is necessary for an online game! This thing isn't ready for public consumption, not for that price, not when it's comparable to all other survival games on Steam in terms of gameplay and worse than them in terms of stability and connectivity! This shouldn't have been released to the public for another 2-3 years of intense development! And all that with a patch that's bigger than the game!? What were you thinking Bethesda!?

    This, being a survival game and not an RPG, means that there's no NPCs, no story, no investment. A truly dead and barren wasteland and that, my friends, means that the game is boring. Walk, shoot, gather, walk, shoot, gather... nothing more, nothing less. Oh, "but it's fun with friends", I hear you saying - well, so was watching "The Room" and playing "Ride to Hell: Retribution". Everything is fun with friends because, at the very worst, misery loves company.

    But wait, there's more... because the same old, busted, barely working game engine is yet again back with all of the glory of the stumbling old, drunk man reliving his youth. The lengths to which developers try to obfuscate the engine's limitations include varying quality of textures and the most distracting visual depth effect I have ever seen! This, being an online game, means that modders won't come to fix it this time as modding will probably be a heavily monitored aspect of the game, Bethesda's paid mods service will probably be the only way to make this game playable. Oh, the framerate is also locked, not that it matters when the game hasn't been optimised at all.

    And I hear you saying "don't like it, don't play it". Fine. I want my money back, but Bethesda won't give me my money back! The game's not on Steam, their launcher is a broken mess as well (it can delete the game files or not allow you to uninstall the game at all) and their refund policy takes so damn long just for you to hear "no"... This game is a disaster. Bethesda is just Bethesda, they publish great games but make garbage themselves lately. Don't waste your money on this one.    … Expand

    2) Extremely glicthy, had a supply drop drone breakdance through the roof of a building, dropping the supply cache inside a house that is impossible to enter. Entered 3 different terminals that got me stuck on a screen as seen in the attached file. The game didn't freeze, and i still had sound, but couldn't do anything so had to alt + F4, so no button on my keyboard did anything. One of these happened right after setting up a character still in the vault, resulting in me having to completely redo my character.

    3) Probably the worst PC port of any fallout game to date in terms of controls (which says a lot considering the state fallout 3 was in when that came out). Functionality of the mouse including left click has been severely reduced compared to previous installments, and instead of being able to navigate certain stuff with the mouse, you now have to do it with awkward keybinds. The weapon/aid wheel is pretty cool though.

    4) when trying to use the voice system, it always just ended with people hammering at their keyboards not knowing it was on, also had a few people just singing to themselves in french...    … Expand

    As much as I don't like giving negative reviews, this is one of the games that I feel truly deserves criticism.

    Fallout 76 is a shallow, repetitive and incredibly grind heavy experience that cynically takes everything I love about the Fallout series, guts it of all its interesting mechanics and crams the husk of what's left into a generic, boring open world survival multiplayer experience.

    I would honestly say that MineCraft is more fun than 76 and that's after growing tired of it half a decade ago. So let's go into more detail on why I feel this way.

    The setting: 76 takes the setting from the core series where you play as a vault dweller emerging into a post-apocalyptic world full of nasty enemies and... Not much else. In fact the enemies are for the most part either completely broken or ridiculously easy, but I'll come back to that. The world is actually the best thing about the game and why I'm opting to give a 1 over a zero. There's a lot of vibrant colours and enjoyable scenery, but this is marred heavily by the overall experience.

    Another huge issue is the lack of NPCs and quests being doled out in MMO form. The world falls flat when there's no interesting characters to interact with or build the plot.

    The combat: Enemies in 76 are a joke. No really. Not only are they either too easy or overpowered by the game deciding to rubber band them around while you try to land a solid hit, but they're also very heavily populated meaning it's impossible to explore at your own pace and enjoy lore through tapes and terminals. There were times where I would enter a building after clearing a zone only to find that the corpses I just made have all disappeared and re-spawned around me.

    VATS is a janky mess of a feature which, being in real-time now is not only unintuitive and slow to use, but it's also incredibly unreliably. The most use I could find for it is to snap on to target before aiming manually. It also makes targeting limbs incredibly difficult with feedback on crippling enemies being near non-existent compared to past entries

    The multiplayer experience: At any time, in any place, you can and will be sent all number of duel requests from other players in the rare chance that you actually get to meet one outside of area event quests. Not only is this incredibly annoying, but it also deals a tiny amount of damage. Not enough to be threatening, but if you've just finished up[ a big fight and you're out of stims, well, you're not gonna have a lot of fun.

    Players can stalk you anywhere and issue these requests at any time. Like when you're trying to read those terminal entries, or sitting through the 20 second sleeping animations. This makes for some immersion shattering experiences that will leave you at best, mildly annoyed. There's also the fact that you can bait players into your suspended platforms in your camp and remove the floor from underneath them, downing them with fall damage and popping their heads with one bullet to get credit for the kill. This never happened to me, but the fact that it can is just stupid. Oh and good luck finding people with the same quest as you for some co-op action.

    Overall: Fallout 76 is a cynical attempt at milking the Fallout fanbase for all it's worth. There are micro transactions aplenty with the in-game store with all of the purchasable items being purely cosmetic. I wouldn't take much issue with this if the game itself wasn't a shambling mess of what its predecessors were before it.

    The combat is boring and often tedious, enemies are far too common, player griefing is prevalent despite anti-griefing measures and the plot is incredibly hard to enjoy in any capacity.

    When it was announced me and my friends would often joke about running into 13 year old kids screaming profanities about our mother as they did everything they could to annoy us into quitting. This didn't happen, but the game itself felt equally offensive just by playing it. It plays like a reanimated corpse of Fallout 4 with none of the charm.

    Basically Dayz but less fun with more bugs.

    I've played Fallout games since the original and I have to say "disappointing" comes to mind on this one. I didn't expect much, since multiplayer and Fallout dont belong in the same sentence, but this is even worse than I was prepared for. Some key issues that I feel stand out: 1. The game is a bug riddled mess. The engine is outdated    Basically Dayz but less fun with more bugs.

    I've played Fallout games since the original and I have to say "disappointing" comes to mind on this one. I didn't expect much, since multiplayer and Fallout dont belong in the same sentence, but this is even worse than I was prepared for. Some key issues that I feel stand out:

    1. The game is a bug riddled mess. The engine is outdated and is an unholy frankenstein-ian monster cobbled together that was never meant to do what Bethesda is trying to make it do. Frankly, its not good at anything. Its neither pretty, nor plays smoothly, nor is the combat engaging or fun. Enemies warp around and get stuck on objects and terrain constantly and you'll miss shots constantly even when aiming center of mass because the game has just decided you shouldn't be able to win. Its unacceptable for a "AAA" quality game studio to still be using this garbage. Stop.

    2. Your stash, the ONLY place you can store items, is limited to 400 lbs of equip. That may sound like a lot, but you'll fill it within a couple hours of gameplay. The sheer amount of junk needed to accomplish any amount of crafting will fill it up and leave you no space left for ammo, armor, weapons, meds, food, or anything else. Its unacceptable. The ENTIRE point of Bethesda-style sandbox RPG's is "grab everything" and they've broken that. I'm stunned.

    3. Base building, which is supposed to be one of the big draws of the game, is busted. Because of the small build area, and a ridiculously low cap on the size of your base, you'll never accomplish anything interesting. Just like the stash, its too limited in scope to matter. You'll wind up building 4 walls and a roof and put your stash inside and never visit it again. Also, bugged to **** as usual.

    4. The overhauled leveling/perk system is boring and anemic. I feel no more powerful at 25 than I did at 1. Perks are all mostly meaningless and give some insignificant bonus to a very specific situation that wont help you at all.

    5. Enemies are either so overwhelmingly powerful you cannot possibly face them (I suppose intended to be attacked as part of a group, lol more on that later) or so weak you could knock them over with a feather.

    6. The multiplayer. The map is so huge you'll never meet anyone doing the same thing you are or at your level. You aren't going to find people interested in grouping because FALLOUT DOESN'T WORK THAT WAY and nobody wants to do it. Its a multiplayer single player game.

    7. PVP doesn't matter. Theres no reason to do it. You can "duel" by shooting another person and if they shoot back you fight. Man, what a design.

    8. Story doesn't exist. I wrote better stories in my 5th grade english class. There are no npc's, no dialogue, just a big open empty world for you to explore to find more bugs.

    If you love love love Fallout and just have to experience it, go into it prepared to be let down. I've played for 4 days now and I'd rather be playing Red Dead 2, an actual open world game that doesn't blow.    … Expand

    I pre-ordered this at the last minute and missed out on the beta. So on launch day I started the game, created a new character. Ran around the vault for 10-15 minutes with nothing to do. I exited the vault and the usual wow Graphics, I've finally made it out.!!
    3 Hours or so into the game I just stared at my Pc monitor wondering what this is all about. Bugs/Glitches even Heavy breathing    I pre-ordered this at the last minute and missed out on the beta. So on launch day I started the game, created a new character.

    3 Hours or so into the game I just stared at my Pc monitor wondering what this is all about. Bugs/Glitches even Heavy breathing because of a non existant push to talk system, Not even a chat system. The 'BASIC' online game systems 'Do Not Exist'. PVP I'll leave you to google how stupid that is.

    Now I've been lucky enough to have grown up with the computer industry starting with a zx80, zx81, zxSpectrum, amiga, commodore , etc etc Games like 'Attic Attack, JetSetWilly & Sabre wolf.. etc.. These were part of my childhood and I really enjoyed them.

    I was just 'UTTERLY' ''BORED'' so I decided to start a new character and try again, and guess what? I WAS bored 'AGAIN' This is an Alpha release at best not full AAA.
    I made a decision to ask for a refund (which I didn't think I would get on the 17th Nov) it was approved and I have a full refund.

    This is a SHOCKING game and should never have been released in the state it is atm. Todd should be sacked for releasing this. DO NOT BUY IT. You will be so disappointed folks.

    Shameless cash grab, as someone who has been a fallout fan for about 10 years now, this is simply disgraceful to see one of my favorite franchises absolutely trashed in an obvious snatch for money.

    (On another note, Metacritic deleted this review despite the fact it is neither spam nor against any rules. This is my second time posting it. Sellout much metacritic?)

    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]
