    Great game with some weird cult hate that's pretty much become a meme lol. Dunno, try it and see. I didn't get it at launch. Got it after all the negative reviews lol. I don't trust people :P

    The game is a fun open world experience. All the bad reviews are today's social media buffoons with no life other than taking to complaining that they woke up again. So enjoy and explore. Play your way in a team, with a friend or on your own. It is enjoyable, like everything in life some experiences are good, others you pass on. if your a buffoon you make the whole world amused by your ramblings.

    The npcs scattered on the map are much missed.
    In general I think a round game with some shortcomings that do not interfere much the final result but that will undoubtedly make any fan of the Fallout saga.
    We live in a time when hate sells even more than the video games themselves, and it seems that many reviews are looking for that way, Fallout is not a perfect game but of course it is not garbage and you can appreciate the effort and love deposited in this game.
    Thanks Bethesda, I hope that for the next one instead of an 8/10 it will be a 9/10.    … Expand

First off this is nothing we already didn't know. Second Vault 76 is one of the first Vaults opened, so we as the player are some of the first people surfacing after the Great War this is why there are no NPC b/c there are is no one else out yet. We are meant to find out what has happened in the aftermath of the Great War. Now I would love to see NPCs added into the game and I think this could be done with little effort. Think what if a new Vault opened up and you had to help the people of that Vault create a settlement which will turn into a social hub, think the tower in Desinty.

    Quick hits:

    Pros:
    The world - Fallout 76 has a huge world with something new around every corner
    Base building
    The loot - the loot is great I love the blueprints
    Crafting
    Level / Perks - This is a perfect system for this style of game. They just need to make to so you have re-roll your S.P.E.C.A.I and maybe add on endgame leveling system, think ESO online maybe???
    Multiplayer
    Enemies - a good divers raid on enemy types.
    Nukes - it's a cool way to create a harder zone

    Cons:
    This game needed an upgraded / new engine
    Lunch bugs - this feels like an earlier access game.
    Quests need to be better
    Gunplay needs to be updated.    … Expand

Fallout 76 is NOT a 10/10 game. It's also not a 0/10 game. There are good things here, especially for those who care more about the world they're exploring than the people who live in it. Unfortunately, these good things are drastically hindered by technical limitations, missing features, and a player experience that struggles to find any kind of identity.

    If you have three or more friends that are willing to play with you, Fallout 76 can be a ton of fun. Random encounters with other players or taking down a tough boss are just as enjoyable here as they are in any other online multiplayer survival game. Sadly, if you try to go from playing in a group to playing solo, you'll find that the fun factor almost disappears entirely.

    The world is huge and lonely. Whether or not you think this is an accurate depiction of what a post nuclear apocalypse would look like, the fact is that it doesn't make for a fun game. There are no characters to become engaged with, except of course for the other players you meet along the way. And anyone who has been playing online games in the past decade will know that this crowd is crazy diverse, and rarely friendly. If you're unlucky enough to come across the wrong group of people, the game quickly becomes a chore as you get peppered with bullets and goaded into attacking back. The revenge system in place here isn't any good either, and leads to a resource drain for all players involved.

    The game needs work. A LOT of work. In the future, it's entirely possible that enough content will be added to make this a worthwhile purchase, maybe even a price cut. In its current state... well, you're getting what you pay for: A buggy game that's fun with friends, but ONLY with friends. Solo players looking for a gripping narrative should look elsewhere.    … Expand

    The game is a lot of fun with friends and alone (I play both), but the main issue after 25 hours of game are the bugs and mediocre PC port. It does not really impact the game but it can be a pain.
    If the bugs are corrected (which they are doing) and the future DLCs complete the experience with new quest and things to do this could be a great game. For now it is fun and enjoyable but could have been better especially technically speaking.    … Expand

Amazing Fallout MMO that finally came to be and is getting better by the day. 110 hours in and I have yet to even scratch the surface of what the current content has to offer.

    Too many bugs to give it any higher. its more of a 5.5 than a 6 right now. without bugs it would be a 6.0 - 7.5

    The gameplay, world and survival elements are solid. the missions, quests and story are reasonably OK. but the bugs both game-breaking bugs and nuisance bugs are far too persistent. we are talking about fallout new Vegas level of bugs on release.

Set as a resident of Vault 76; players will craft a character and be amongst the first to venture into the Post-Apocalyptic world set in the Virginia wilderness as they attempt to help rebuild a new society.

    Along the way players will encounter all manner of mutated creatures and threats that have zero qualms about tearing a player to pieces or bringing an arsenal of weapons to take down players.
    Anyone who has played any of the series will know that gathering, trading, and crafting is essential to survival as being able to buy, repair, and exchange weapons and armor is essential as they will break and need to be upgraded frequently.

    This is always a trick for some players such as myself as I never know what to fully prioritize when I encounter scrap and can quickly become overburdened. This makes for some very tough choices as player movement will be very restricted and players will be unable to Fast Travel to previously explored areas of the map.

    There is also the matter of needing to ensure that an adequate supply of food, beverages, and medicines are available to restore health as in a radiated area; even stopping for lunch can cause potential damage and mutations to happen.

    There are numerous weapons available to players from crude Pipe Guns to more advanced energy weapons and machine guns and knives. I have found that Melee weapons such as an Axe or a Sledgehammer can do wonders as they do pack a solid punch but are slow and unyielding.
    The map is extremely vast and filled with many areas to explore from old towns to hotels, shops, a mall, an airport, train stations, and pretty much anything else you would expect in a typical community.

    One of the biggest issues in the game is the numerous bugs which hampered the game at launch. Bethesda has worked to fix them through several patches but issues still remain as I write this so players will have to understand that this is part of the game and being addressed but they will likely encounter issues along the way.

    The game has taken a considerable amount of abuse for the state of the game at launch and while I freely admit there are issues; I have had a lot of fun playing the game and have logged a considerable amount of time in it. Despite the frustrations; I have been drawn back to the game time and again to play more. Players I have encountered have been generally helpful and friendly and the game has not become an open Free For All as the Bounty systems in place make it less appealing for players to pick off inexperienced players who are out minding their own business. Some higher-level players have been very generous in passing and have initiated trades to give me High-Level weapons even though I was not able to use them until I reached a higher level.

    There are various Pop-Up events that happen where players can get some nice rewards and slipping into your Power Armor to take down a pack of Scorchers is always a fun experience.

    In many ways this is one of the hardest reviews I have had to write as I can see how some people can be disappointed with the game and will take serious issues with the bugs and general direction. I also see the fun in the game and the progress being made with the updates and enjoy the game despite the issues. If you are patient and temper your expectations with the understanding that the game players have now is not the game they will have several months down the road, then Fallout 76 may be the escapist game you are looking for.

    The good news is that it's more of Fallout. Quirky quests, looting, radio stations, open world exploration.

    The bad news is it could have been so much better with a large world of players interacting and building and fighting. How cool if this had been Player's Unknown meets Fallout rather than Fallout with a multiplayer function that doesn't really matter.

    All scores 4 and below are **** Ignore them. Game is bugged to hell and has many Qol issues. With that being said, the story told via environment is well done and is compelling. Perk system is robust and flexible. Endgame is limited currently but more is on the way. Fun with friends or alone. Currently sits at 6-7 for me, but once some issues are fixed this is easily an 8+ game.

    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.

Many of the reviewers never actually played the game, re-using limited video that just showed bugs to provide a skewed review. The actual game is fun! It has an expansive world to explore and discover the story behind all the factions and what happened to the human populace of Virginia due to the Scorched plague. There are so many character options, build options and crafting options you will be hard pressed to run out of things to do. With the addition of Nuclear Winter a new exciting (even if I'm not a fan of PVP) mode was recently introduced giving infinite playable time with the mode. CAMP construction and design is amazing and continues to evolve. The game adventure mode is completely grief free, and the community is the friendliest group of people I've ever encountered online. You can bop over to a Survival mode if you want additional PVP, though I avoid it as I don't enjoy that style. Future content is even going to include human NPCs (non human NPCs have been in game since day 1 though people have lied to you about that) in the Wastelander expansion, and will include dialogue trees that will have significant impact and be dependent upon your SPECIAL points.

    Lastly, like said from day one after you've bought the game you get ALL future content for free. At a price of only $20-30 now there's no excuse for not hopping into the apocalypse and having fun. You never need to buy Atomic shop content, but if you do it's only non game affecting items, just cosmetic skins and toys for the CAMP.    … Expand

    Fallout 76 may have a few bugs and it’s annoying when there is some server lag but even with all of that it is a very immersive and large world in fallout lore and story telling to explore. I love reading the terminals and notes and just playing the game in general. It is a little weird with no human npcs but with the e3 announcement I’m very excited!

While its release was certainly a buggy sight to behold, this is not nearly the case as of recently.

    BGS has been providing consistent updates to the game since its release, bringing several well-needed fixes and quality-of-life changes, while still being able to provide new story lines, features, and game-modes.

    There is still a way to go in some areas, especially in the Beta preview of the Nuclear Winter game-mode, the game shows an immense amount of promise and will easily provide a wealth of content and fun to any Fallout fan, casual and hardcore alike.

    While some do not agree with the multiplayer aspect of the game, this part generally only serves to enhance your experience as you can typically opt to explore the vast environment of Appalachia alone, while still reaping the benefit of multiplayer events, having other players team up with you to fight big foes.

    Additionally, with the Wastelanders update in Autumn 2019 bringing NPCs back into the mix, with full dialogue trees and "true choice and consequences" it's a good time to pick this game up and give it your own go and evaluation. You'll likely be positively surprised with what you find.

    Overall a 9/10. An excellent game that provides a wealth of content and, while still a little rough around some edges, is definitely worth it now compared to its release.    … Expand

The only complaint would be I hate field of view and there is no option to turn it off, that being said it is well implamented and anoys me less than most other games. Will this game be for everyone no probably not and if you go into it expecting it to be another fallout in the series than you wont like it, but if you go into it knowing its not trying to be its just trying to be a different type of game in the fallout world you should really enjoy it. There is room for different types of games not everything needs to be cookie cutter made just to be a cash grab.

    From a PC perspective, there are a number of quality of life features that are typically standard in AAA games that are lacking. These include lack of FOV sliders, limited keybind customizing, and no push-to-talk (to name a few). However, Bethesda has been very forthright in communicating with players and has promised to remedy a number of these issues already (i.e. push-to-talk).

    If you want a perfect game right off the bat, I'd suggest waiting. However, the game is still a lot of fun (both solo and in a group) already.

    Finally, looking at the micro-transactions, the game isn't "cash grabby" at all. Sure, there's a store that you can spend real money on even after you dropped $60 on the game, but all the items are cosmetic. That and you get enough Atoms (the in in-game paid currency) to buy a good number of things you would want just by playing the game. There's definitely no pay-to-win.    … Expand

    If you want the ability to murder hundreds of innocent human npcs en masse with no consequence like in 3/NV/4, you psychopath, or you want to be spoon-fed a story by a bunch of npcs who barely act human and are written like a shlocky satruday morning cartoon while clicking on text boxes to make your reply and then selling their loot to the nearest vendor (before killing him too), this game is not for you.

    If you want to experience Fallout with your friends and enjoy bethesda's only good type of storytelling, visual and world-based, then this game has that in spades and you should get it.

    Ignore the negative reviews complaining about the lack of NPCs (they're robots but they exist), lack of story (it's got one actually alright, not great but no fallout game has a "great" story, not even New Vegas. It's better than 3/4's stories at least), and bugs (There are some; personally the only one I've experienced myself that hurts the game is it muting all of the audio but fo76 on my pc, and one t-posing ghoul).

    Fallout 76 Is by no means the best game in the series; that honour still goes to New Vegas, but it's not the dumpster fire some would have you believe. For starters, exploring Appalachia with your friends is a blast, but you can still go it alone. When you wander off from the starting areas, it truly feels like a Fallout game; you feel alone (unless you're traveling with friends) and diving into ruins feels just as harrowing as ever.
    The new enemies are welcomed as well as the returning ones, and though some are very difficult to take out unless you're prepared you can win alone. Crafting has gone through a drastic improvement; you can craft ammo once again, and armour and weapons are leveled, meaning that when you learn the blueprint of a weapon you can craft it at a higher level. Additionally, scrapping weapons will reward you with new mods (though you will require a specific perk in the INT tree to make the better ones) for that weapon on top of the materials that make it up. The same applies to armour. Power armour has been reworked; it can be customized as in Fallout 4, but you may now store it in your pack as in 3 and New Vegas. Gunplay is slightly improved from 4, which was a grand improvement on 3 and NV's gunplay, and the weapons sound powerful; they're a joy. Without spoiling much, story is now delivered through the only way Bethesda can do it without writing Fallout 3's story again; through the environment and through holotapes and notes. The quests you go on paint a picture of a wasteland stripped of humanity, and it's up to you to find out why and stop whatever's causing it. Well, you and your friends and fellow 76 residents. You can play solo as I mentioned, but playing with friends is recommended to get the full experience; with the new perk system, you can also swap out perks with ease to suit your playstyle. Playing alone? Add Lone Wanderer and become a solo badass. Playing with friends? Grab Bodyguard and beef yourself and your friends up for the fight. With enough CHA, you can share a perk with friends. The Survival aspects make this a key feature; sharing Dromedary means your whole squad can go longer without a drink and as almost all water is irradiated or full of disease now, having that can be a boon. Still, the survival aspects aren't overwhelming to a new player; you don't need to sleep but you do need to eat and drink, though food is very common if you gather wood and kill animals. There are colourful NPCs; they aren't human, they explain why in-universe if you do some digging, but they are still fun. If you want to know what I mean, head to Grafton; you'll meet quite the eccentric character.

    Overall, Fallout 76 is a solid 6-7/10 if played solo; it's not the best in the series, but it's better than the abysmal failure that Fallout 4 proved to be. If you play with friends, especially if you use an external chat client like Discord, it's easily an 8/10. Finding new places and exploring them as a group is rewarding and challenging and a complete and utter blast of a time.

    There are bugs; your mileage may vary in which ones affect you, but I've experienced very few of the ones my friends have. If you're hesitant, wait a few weeks and see if the bugs get patched out and get it cheap elsewhere via a key.

    If you seriously cannot stand the thought of ever meeting another player, wait until the Private servers drop in early 2019; then you can lock yourself away in a private server and be as antisocial as you want while you experience the second-best story in the entirety of the 3d Fallout series (Behind NV, but ahead of 3 and leagues beyond 4) told in a way that forces you to seek it out. Or don't; it's your call. I've played since day 1 of the beta and I'm only now getting to the main story quests. That's the kind of game this is, and if that doesn't scream Fallout to you, then I'm not sure what does.    … Expand

    Far from the best Fallout game, but it's Fallout, it's online, and it's a new setting - nothing revolutionary, but fun nonetheless. There's room for improvement - performance mostly, human NPCs would be nice, but the empty wasteland is different and kind of enjoyable in it's own way

If you enjoy open worlds and being able to play with your friends, you may like this one. If you want a solo RPG experience, or a massive Multiplayer experience, steer clear because it will disappoint. If you're a early game fanboy that hated or disliked F04, you likely won't like this one so save your money. If you're a hardcore single RPG player, you definitely won't like this one. If you enjoy games for what they have to give without trying to force it to fit in your expectations, and enjoy the fallout universe, you may (like many others) enjoy this game.

    It was launched too early with not enough beta time, so there is still bugs. Mostly cosmetic, not really game breaking. A few broken quests here and there (like nearly every single game on release) with the first update they're already showing commitment to smashing the worst of the bugs. If that's something that bothers you, wait a few months at least for them to polish it up a bit and watch some twitch streams to check whether you would really enjoy it.

    Microtransactions are cosmetic, you can earn the means to buy things on the store in the game. so that's a no nevermind.

    I highly suggest picking up a friend or two to run with, it can make the whole experience a lot more enjoyable. The world is full of things to discover, but if you're not into the whole exploration/poking into every nook and cranny type of play, again, this game will likely disappoint.

    Build limitations and hoarding limitations are the only reason I won't give this game a ten. There's talk of increasing them, but as of right now they are quite restrictive and irritating if you want to store everything/build everything.

    Above all. if you don't go into the game with expectations (both good or bad) This game can be quite fun as it is. If you're expecting a F05. this is not it.    … Expand

    Fallout 76 is a great game. It has its problems but the game is still fun and engaging. There are no human NPCs and there are other players running around
    but that doesn't seem to influence the game as much as you think. Fallout 76 may not be the absolute best in the series, could be one of the worst in the series (of the Fallout games Bethesda made. I'm pretty sure we can all agree that    Fallout 76 is a great game. It has its problems but the game is still fun and engaging. There are no human NPCs and there are other players running around
    but that doesn't seem to influence the game as much as you think. Fallout 76 may not be the absolute best in the series, could be one of the worst in the series (of the Fallout games Bethesda made. I'm pretty sure we can all agree that this game is better than Brotherhood of Steel). However just because it's
    the worst of the series doesn't mean it's bad. It's still a really fun game that I'm glad I'm able to play. It's just not as good as Fallout 3 or Fallout 4.

    One big thing I see people complain about is the lack of NPCs. For me, I've barely noticed the absence of them. There is still a great story to this game
    (maybe better than Fallout 4's). The story even explains the lack of NPC (won't say what it is to avoid spoilers). To get the story you have to read notes
    and listen to audio clips, which isn't much different than just getting the information from NPCs. It's still just go here, listen to this, do this. It's been
    like that for every Fallout game. My favorite thing to do in fallout games wasn't talking to NPCs and getting the main story, but going to new locations and
    reading notes or terminals to get the story of the world rather than just the immediate quest line.

    Another big issue a lot of people negatively reacted to is the other players. A lot of people are worried about other players killing them over and over or
    just being an overall announce. However, all of the players I've ran into playing this game have mostly just ignored each other or trade. There was one time
    a player killed me over and over, but it was my fault for trying to get revenge so many times on a player double my level. After the first time, they killed
    me the rest was just self-defense. A player can only do little bits of damage to you unless you attack back. After attacking back a PVP battle is then fully started. The winner of the battle then will get caps depending on the opponents level. If I player is able to kill you and you did not fire back, then they will be considered wanted and will have a bounty placed on them where everyone on the server can see.

    People are also complaining about lag and glitches. While the game full of bugs and lag is never a good thing, Bethesda is trying to fix this. The game won't always remain full of bugs. Bethesda plans on fixing these as fast as they can.

    There are also minor complaints I've seen. One of which is that Fallout 76 uses a lot of assets from Fallout 4. Fallout New Vegas also used a lot of assets
    from Fallout 3, but I don't see anyone complaining there. People have also said that the C.A.M.P. system is flawed since when you place a C.A.M.P. it dissapers forever after you log off. However, this isn't true. If no other player as built a C.A.M.P. near where you place your's, then your C.A.M.P. will spawn into the server with you exactly where you left it. Another complaint people have is that Fallout 76 is just a cash grab. Their evidence for this is that Fallout 76 is just a survival game. Fallout 76, however, is barely a survival game. The only survival aspect is that you have to eat, drink, and
    sometimes you get an illness. Fallout 4's survival difficulty was more of a survival game than Fallout 76. People have also tried to use the micro-transaction
    as evidence for the game being a cash grab. However, the micro-transactions are only cosmetic items. Bethesda has also said that the actual DLC for the game
    (Like Far Harbor, Old World Blues, or Mothership Zeta) will be free because of the micro-transactions. You even get the micro-transaction currency for free
    just by doing basic in-game stuff like killing ghouls. So would you rather have to pay $40 for more story and gameplay features or would you rather have a
    completely optional micro-transaction service while you get the $40 DLC for free? And technically, almost every game out there is a cash grab. Do you think
    Rockstar would have made Red Dead Redemption 2 if they won't going to get money for it? Companies don't make these games just because they feel like it or to
    be nice. They make these games because it makes them money. Every company is like that. Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo, EA are all only here for the money. They don't make games to be nice. They make them so they can get money.    … Expand

    100 hours of play time.

    Let's get a good look at what the game has to offer. Let's proceed point by point. Let me explain to you how FO76 is indeed a true Fallout game, and why. 1) World design : The map, set in the Appalachian region, is gigantic. You could press autowalk at one end and not reach the other for hours, not only because it is this big, but also, there's so much to    100 hours of play time.

    Let's get a good look at what the game has to offer. Let's proceed point by point. Let me explain to you how FO76 is indeed a true Fallout game, and why.

    1) World design :

    The map, set in the Appalachian region, is gigantic. You could press autowalk at one end and not reach the other for hours, not only because it is this big, but also, there's so much to see on the way. So many places, each with their very own feeling. Eerie swamps, barren abandonned mining operations, vibrant forests, steep mountains, derelict factories.. All so well put together. You barely notice the transition from one to another because it happens gradually. There is a real sense of immersion, as you seemlessly travel an incredibly coherent and diverse landscape. I caught myself just enjoying the scenery more than once.
    Just regular Fallout.

    2) Storytelling

    Oh boy. For a game with so few NPCs, the storytelling is incredible. The voice acting is more than on-point; every holotape you listen to introduces a new character that manages, in a few minutes and only by voice, to get across his own personality, to reach out to you, the wanderer, and tell you his unique story. The actors did an amazing job. But there's more.
    Computers often hold stories too, in the form of reports, journals and other entries. Everywhere you go, you may just happen on a unique story that adds it's stone to the greater picture. It's never thrown in your face. It's not hidden either. It is simply there to enjoy if you so wish. And believe me there is much to enjoy.
    Just regular Fallout, maybe even better (because way more subtle).

    3) Sound Design :

    Just as each type of terrain has it's own visual feel, the audio is of great diversity. When you're standing on a cliff in the mountains, you truly feel like you're there. Wind gushing, dirt crumbling, maybe even gunshots or wildlife fighting in the distance. High quality and well placed effects manage to make the world come alive. From light hearted and cheerful to downright creepy and dark, every ambiance is covered and given to you at the exact right time. If you stop and listen for a while, anywhere in the world, there are going to be things to hear.
    Just regular Fallout.

    4) Gameplay :

    i'm tempted to say "It just plays like regular Fallout" and I wouldn't be lying, but allow me to elaborate on that. The gunplay is nothing more nor less that what the previous titles have got us used to. It's not bad, but it certainly could be a tad better. There is some lack of balance between weapons; Automatic weapons suffer too weak damage and melee is simply overpowered. The UI has seem some quality upgrades in this installment, but it still could offer more sorting options. You never get lost in your inventory, but you may have to scroll a lot if you're a hoarder. Hit detection on very fast targets is not really on point, storage space is too limited (they're working on it) and you're not safe from encountering a monster that'll end up stuck sideways in a wall. More hilarious than annoying, but still. Some tough monster are not rewarding enough to beat, some weaker ones are too rewarding. The game still is surprisingly stable, although you may experience the odd disconnect every few hours. Some perks need to be fixed, others balanced.
    Weapons and clothing/armor show some promising variety. Add to that the ability to to mod them heavily and hid armor under purely cosmetic clothing, and you'll no doubt find the look you want. Hitboxes are.. Well they're Bethesda's hitboxes. Need I say more ?
    Just regular Fallout.

    5) Community :
    That's something entirely new to the Fallout series. Let one thing be said; FO76 players love their game. The haters rooted themselves out, most without ever giving a chance to the game, and we're left with an unnusually friendly community. They're here because they love the game, because they love the potential. They're happy to play, happy to help, share tips, build bases and go on quests together. And last but not least, they are welcoming. They want to share their experience and that makes it surprisingly easy to make friends out of people randomly met in game. Just check the FO76 subreddit. The community is half of what makes this game great. And even when you're alone, it just plays like regular Fallout.

    I perfectly understand not wanting to spend sixty bucks on a game that has so many bad reviews. But if you weed out Youtubers out for easy views, mindless bashers allergic to change, and the insane amount of reviews made before the game came out, you're left with a gem of potential. There are problems, but they're so easily overlooked because the game offers so much.

Its a company, and it owes you nothing. I have been a fan of Bethesda since i was 8 years old, and I personally quite like this game, it is a cozy Bethesda title with none of the problems with bad writing that have plagued their last few games, namely Fallout 4 and Skyrim, with the majority of quests I have done thus far in 25 hours of BETA and the last two days of the released product being well written and delivering the story well. There isn't any ludo-narrative dissonance like plagued Fallout 4, and the lack of NPCs is a good thing, as Fallout 4s NPCs were boring and forgettable and, personally, I would rather have nothing than something actively detrimental to my experience with the game the way that dealing with Preston Garvey was. This is a Spinoff game, not Fallout 5. Remember that Fallout has had spinoffs before, and if Brotherhood of Steel on the Xbox couldn't kill the franchise when it was in a vulnerable state, then Fallout 76 is not going to kill it when it is insanely popular. It sickens me to see so many fans of Bethesda's games trashing their newest one simply because it is different. Do you want 15 more Skyrim Rereleases?

    Now i know people have a right to their own opinion, to what they believe is the best game, or to make it the best game, or a great game, and i will never deny anyone their right to do so.

    But this is Fallout, this is the series that i love the most, more than any other game franchise around. It hurts to see people so hateful, so angry, so willing to throw negative reviews for such spiteful reasons. This happened for Fallout 4 as well, and fans did this for New Vegas, and for Fallout 3. Heck some did it for Fallout Tactics, even Fallout 2 being such purists.

    So where does it stop? When does this Fallout game hating end? I like the game, yes, but there are aspects that drive me crazy enough that i would have given it a zero too, yes. But you know what makes me different? Do you know why i have no love for Todd Howard or Bethesda, and how he keeps throwing out games that are not ready, or that each game tends to break some aspect of lore until it is explained and fixed, or why they choose the choices they did for a game, even if it did piss so many people off?

    I'm here to simply have fun playing Fallout, if i have fun, if i enjoy playing, I'll keep coming back, if not, then I'll come back eventually when I'm bored, but i just want to play. Not want the latest graphic engine, the best immersive NPC's, the perfect gaming experience, even the perfect match with lore, i just want to play! That i can play with other players now, cool, that they are working on patching the game, good, no game is perfect at launch, no matter how many years it is taken. I just want to play, not hear people, or see people in the case of my video feeds and channels, endlessly complain and complain and complain. Play it or don't, have fun or don't, If you cannot figure out the story, or why the only NPC's (and yes, there are NPC's) are there, it's not my place to explain it.

    So either just play, and have fun, and let those of us who do like it have fun, or just calm down, say your peace, and go, for if you cannot say anything constructive with your criticism, then do not say anything at all, cause personally, I'm tired of this toxic fan base.    … Expand

    So People calling Rate 10 Reviews here as paid or Fake? Try to do so with mine. I can say 100% im writing this on my free will and dont get paid. Im just a Guy that keeps its distance to have a clear view. But what i can say the many negative Reviews here are just angry that they didnt inform themselve much before buying the Game or dont even have the game and just jump on the hate Train because all they can do is spread nonsense and hate. The Number of negative Reviews here you can easily ignore 3/4 of them because they are no helpfull at all and just trying to make the game look bad over here at Metacritic.

    People complain about an empty World and no NPC interaction in Fallout 76?
    Sorry Folks but Bethesda already stated that "WE the Players" are the ones to be interacted with each other and take place of the NPC in the Game. If you cant interact social with other Players than Fallout 76 isnt a Game for you.

    Performance?
    The Performance is okay for the Engine and its getting optimized everytime. Have patience instead of rambling around....i can play the Game without any Issue on Medium Settings...

    All in all, i Enjoy playing the Game, seeing the fate of different NPC that died trying to keep West Virginia a.k.a. Apalachia a safe place until the Vault 76 People comes out. Its a great Enviroment Storytelling wich makes me many times sad about how the people there tried their best but failed to keep themselve alive. Some even knew that this could happen and prepared everything possible for others to come and take their Places.

    So all over here: Dont think about Fallout 76 as a RPG in its normal Fashion Way, its a more SOCIAL Sandbox with much Enviromental Storytelling, no interactable NPC Humans (only Robots)

    YOU as a PLAYER take the Role of a interactable "NPC" if you can socialize...many cant...thats why People here are just mad that Fallout 76 doesnt fit in for them....    … Expand

    Wow, lots of negative reviews.

    Granted, the game needs polishing but for my own particular taste it's quite good. It offers what i look after in a Fallout game: a huge map to explore in a post-apocalyptic scenario. This game also feels much more depressive (for me) than the others. Everyone is dead. I like the idea of exploring what's left of humanity.

    The good:
    - huge world to explore (doesn't feel empty at all, lots of "life" in it)
    - the atmosphere
    - no NPCs (but most players i see act like badly scripted NPCs anyway)

    The not so good:
    - dated engine (looks decent in 4K, 1080ti SLI, but lots of low-rez textures and lack of modern post-processing effects, Bethesda should have borrowed REDengine or at least Dunia for this title)
    - the storage space !!!

    So yeah, i love exploring it so far. Might not be as good as modded FNV or F4, but i'll take it.    … Expand

    The new Fallout 76 won't be Fallout 5. Bethesda did't want it to be it but every one did and I don't understand it because Fallout 76 has been a spin-off since first reveal .

Maybe it has some bugs and glitches but still is one of the best multiplayer-open world game i have ever played. Fighting monsters and other dangers side by side with our friends, exploring beautiful world of Appalachia, building a cool house somewhere on the nuclear wasteland were activities that got me into it for hours and I won't stop playing this game now and in next few months or maybe longer.… Expand

    I've played Beta for 2 hours and now I spent 4 hours with a fully released game, not much but enough tho know if I like it or not.
    BAD:
    (1) The last version of Beta 1.0.0.6 and the released version are the same! They haven't even bothered fixing anything. So if you have played Beta, the released version will be exactly the same with all the bugs from Beta. (2) Lots of graphical bugs    I've played Beta for 2 hours and now I spent 4 hours with a fully released game, not much but enough tho know if I like it or not.

    (2) Lots of graphical bugs
    (3) Poor performance on GTX 970 but playable on medium settings
    (4) Graphics feels like Fallout 4 with lots of post processing and more trees and grass
    (5) Story mode is lead through computers and holotapes, generally not very engaging, but is not bad
    (6) This is not a single player game, but can be played as a single player game. This is the biggest problem with this game, it's lack of defined identity doesn't help with understanding how to play it and what to do. This game want's to please hard core fans and new breed of players, but it doesn't do it well for either
    (7) The interface is designed for a console, not a PC and I've had lot's of problems with it
    (8) Base building was not my thing and in this game I just don't understand why I want to do that? There is no one raiding me, so why i need this? At least in Fortnite it makes sense, not in here - for now
    (9) The world without human NPC was supposed to make you feel desolated, but you don't. I feel like everyone is on vacation and left their pets and robots on the loose so they don;t starve
    GOOD:
    (1) The world map is really great with lots of things to visit, but I don't think it's as that big as some people claim. Starting locations are generally small, with no large industrial complexes, hopefully this changes later on
    (2) New weapons and items, crafting mechanism is well done and similar to Fallout 4
    (3) Hmm, I'm struggling to think of anything else
    FINAL THOUGHTS:
    This game has a potential, but looking at the negativity around this game it reminds me Windows Vista and we know what happened there - you think it will get better with time. The game is not designed well and doesn't give any challenge. I don't want to play with other random players, PUBG already proved me this is a bad idea. I'll play it alone, but to be honest I'm already bored after 6 hours. I'm hoping the next patch will add a lot of new content and fix at least half of the bugs. I give you chance Bethesda like I did Windows Vista and I don't want to be disappointed again. Gladly I've purchased the game half price, I'd not pay full price for this product and this is why I give 5    … Expand

    I had good fun for the first 10 hours of fallout 76. I haven't booted up the game since. The bugs are annoying (doing long story quests only to have them bug at the end), the sever maintenance during peak EU times are annoying (6:30pm UK time) and finally the game misses some heart.

It's fun exploring at first, but then things start to feel repetitive and without major faction NPC storylines distracting you, the repetativeness starts to stand out more than previous games. Other players in the game are meaningless as pvp is not enabled (they have to shoot you first before you can hurt them). Base building is bugged and you can lose hours of progress. Inventory is wayyyy too small, meaning after just a few pickups you have to go back to base to scrap. Plus your base storage chest can only take 400 weight. That's nothing!
    You have to constantly switch perks if you want to min/max. That's pretty annoying too.
    There is also not type to talk. the mic is always on, so good luck if you have a girlfriend or someone else talking in the background. They need to introduce press to talk.

    I loved all the Fallout games and fallout DLC. This is the first game where I stopped playing after just 10 hours.

    I advise people buy this in 6 months to 1 year, or wait for it to go on sale. By then the main bugs should be fixed. I honestly played more than just 10 hours when No Mans Sky got released.    … Expand

    The game is flawed technically but the issues are being addressed. Don’t play on a **** PC and you should be fine. Be honest now... is your pc up to snuff? I know you THINK your PC is good... but is it? If you can get over the bugs and are happy with the knowedge that the game will be fixed, there is a lot of fun to be had. Roleplayers and immersion junkies will love this game.

For me exploration of the world is one of my favorite parts about fallout, but for some the lack of NPCs kills the urge to explore the world, I personally find the survival mechanics, atmosphere, player interactions, and collecting loot to be enough motivation to explore. I'm not going to defend Bethesda for releasing the game before it was ready and pricing it at 60 dollars, but I do like the game, and I'm looking forward to what Bethesda has in store for future updates. I think if you enjoy grindy survival games, and don't mind a few bugs, this is a great game for you. It combines survival genre mechanics with the fallout universe, and for me that makes for a great experience. If you do not enjoy survival , and mmo like games, and are looking for a classic Fallout game with heavy story, this game is not for you. I enjoy both types of games, so for me, it's worth playing.… Expand

Problém že se nedají resetovat perky nebo skily (až v 50 levelu a perky asi vůbec po updejtu) člověk vůbec neví kde budou super vychytávky a dozví se to až když je pozdě a mnoho dalšího.

This game feels just like what the apocalypse should feel like, an empty wasteland. The world design is very detailed a lot of thought was put into exploration. Lots of neat things to find and explore. If your a "completionist" this title is for you. I should also add there is a lot of good game design thought put into this, harvesting resources is instant (no stupid little timer) makes it nice and quick. UI and controls are well thought out. Only negative comment I have is seeing other players on the map could have been handled differently, maybe it should be optional to broadcast your location...… 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]
