    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LODs for meshes/models, LIKE ANY OTHER MODERN ENGINE, which results in huge performance hit, despite their low-quality/outdated 3D assets.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

    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.

That same quest line is now impossible to complete because one of the last things I have to do was done by someone else and the object never resets, so I can't finish it even after multiple attempts at logging out/in. I've been fighting stuff my level only to have 8 enemies appear that are 20+ levels higher than me, stomping me into the ground and essentially "camping" 2 hours worth of looted goods that I can't get back. After many attempts to push through, these bugs have completely ruined my taste for this game. And when things are working, there really isn't that much to do. And I don't care if they do plan to add stuff in the future. For $60, I expect a polished and entertaining experience of at least 4-6 hours. This has been endless hours of bugs, boredom and paranoia that something twice your level will jump out randomly and kill you. They get 1 point for the little work they did put into it and hopefully the start of something better. They lose 4 points for the bugs and 5 points for being greedy and making us pay for their extended beta test.… Expand

    The Game is absolutely disappointing. All users should get refunded 90% of the purchase price, because except for a large empty world with occasional mobs the player gets nothing. Too much promised and almost nothing delivered.

Fundamentally - Yes, this game is fun in parts but its veneer is soon lost and highlights how empty and truly flawed of an experience it is. I want to leap up and defend the developer that graced my child and adult life but God they have made this a difficult task. I have found myself running mission to mission and event to event questioning what the purpose is for anything. Each holotape becomes as dull as the first and its got to a point where I just lost interest being attacked as I try read why everyone is questionably dead and I just have to accept it baby but don't worry they got their memoirs on the desk for you ;) The laughable bugs I come across have become anything but funny and quite sad at this point. Fallout has lost its soul and quite clearly the cash grab element is coming to light. What are players supposed to do in this world? Journalists and YouTubers alike praised the environmental story telling yet 85% of the locations are barren and regurgitated with spawning ferals popping out of the air as you find a corner of the workshop to cry in. I started asking my party 'what do we do now then?' and its just lets go... ummm.... We could ..... Try that cave again ... Yeah I am gonna scrap this stuff... i hate being over-encumbered ... My stash box is full ... Take a picture of this bug ... Probably going to log out now guys ... i have great fear that this will lose its core player base very quickly as people reach the end of their aimless quest lines and I don't blame them. To save a title like this Bethesda would have to completely overhaul the game and start listening to what their consumers love about their worlds. Is it going to happen. No it is not. Myself and many others have taken the financial hit on this and I thinks its a bust. Please invest your money in a company that listens to you and delivers a quality product. I have seen the price drop already quite considerably on key sites and this just reflects the market value depreciating at a rapid pace.

    This game is a mess. On a technical level it is lazy and phoned it. Had Bethesda not created their own assets I'd call it a flip.

    This is a game engine so old at this point that no amount of dressing up in revealing tops and short skirts will attract it attention like it got back in high school 10 years ago. It simply does not hold up in a modern world.

    It is buggy, old and abuse-able. Scripted events don't trigger in much the same fashion they didn't back in Oblivion, then Fallout 3, then Skyrim, then Fallout 4. The bugs. Oh god so many bugs. I think the main reason they removed friendly NPCs is because you could probably still put a basket over their head and rob them blind. A bit like Bethesda is trying to do with its customers. Although we all know they haven't included them because this engine/game wouldn't be able to handle them.

    It looks UGLY. My god is it ugly. Fallout 4 was too but they really doubled down on it here. Ramping up shaders a pretty game does not make.

    The gameplay is boring and uninspired with a story to match. The "main quest" is as pointless and mundane as the rest of the quests and if the ending to it shocks you we need to chat because you've not watched many films and I've got some classics we should watch.

    Bethesda have lost ALL my respect and from this point on, earning potential. Refund this game (You can do that regardless of their EULA/TOS if you live in a civilized country as your rights as a buyer are encased in Law.).

    Further more if you're giving this game a positive review and you've been paid to do it, nice one, can I have a job as a shill too? If you're defending this game or its overlord of your own free will out of some weird "brand loyalty" you need to get a grip on reality. This game is trash and your brand loyalty is gaining you nothing but terrible games because you are the enabling factor in why awful content like this continues to sell and thus continues to get made. Stand up for yourself and you will get better games.

    Bethesda only cares about your money, you defending them is pointless and stupid.    … Expand

Posting them with pictures etc. had several patches now and those bugs are still there and bothering me to death. I just loged in and again someone has build his base at the same spot like I do. The games logic is that the other person who logs in after the 1st one, has to rebuild his camp somewhere else ( WORST idea of all time ) you can't even choose a server you want to join. It could warn you before loging to this server that there is someone who has claimed your camp spot so you won't have to rebuild and look for a new spot. The funny part is that the game does not allow you to place your old camp as a blueprint. No matter how often I've reported this bug, it is still there. So I had to recycle my camp blueprint and start all over. Then the Building Budged went full BEFORE I even could finish my recized camp which is like 30% smaller and the Building Budged is already full. I lost my Turret but the Budged for this turred is still active. My character keeps forgetting blueprints which I've spend thousands of caps for. That annoying scorched beast which keeps speed hacking attacking you and following you like nothing else. This thing is EVERYwhere. Just attacked my base whith his 10 attacks per sond. Srly Bethesda this game makes allot of fun but it is also the most buggy game you ever made. Atleast Bug fixing would help with such heavy game breaking bugs but there are just alittle fixes or even worse like game crashing which was not an issue before a performance patch. Dropping items the bag disappears rlly often. Well atleast for me. The worst and totally redicolous thing is that your stash can handle 400 KG of scrap only. This is the worst problem about this game. I just lost 200 KG just because there is NO way to stash them. Now my base is damaged, my power armore etc. and I do not have enough scrap to repair it because of bugs which made me lose all my scrap I had with me. This game makes allot of fun but those bugs are killing all my fun and even will to contenue playing this game. I just hope I could refund this game by now.

    Been playing this game since the BETA and I am just sick of those bugs which keeps destroying my fun in this game. There is even no REPAIR button for your camp. No you have to destroy the parts which god hit by something to completely rebuild it which also costs scrap.

    But the music of the game ( not the radio ) is totally nice to hear while exploring the empty world.    … Expand

    To note I have bought the Tercentennial edition of this game and the collectors edition game guide in anticipation of this game, but this game is horrible. I can play for about an hour before I feel violently ill, and need to stop. As for the limited gameplay I have gathered post launch it is ok, vats is bad and needs a fix and the CAMPS are also bad and need fixing.

    I also made an account here to rate this game.

    I've been playing videogames since Atari, and though I rarely play AAA titles, my wife has loved watching me play F3, NV & F4, and her sister & bf also love them. So even though we were all worried about "online only" we were excited to at least run around together.

    This game is everything we feared it would be, except, amazingly, it's 10 times worse.

    Every aspect of the game reeks of "rush job". or "we did no work". Everything.

    --The UI does not work for "always on" gaming because when you're taking hits, you have no easy way to eat/drink/heal without going into the UI.

    But dying has almost no penalty, so once you figure this out you can just respawn forever until you've killed all the monsters.

    -As you've probably heard, there's using the same engine since Morrowind. How in the world can my PC, with a new GF2080, not get 60 FPS on this? On our GF 1080 machine, I had to put everything on LOW just to get it to start and not crash. HOW is this even possible??

    --Try VATS once, then try to tell me any thought or consideration went into this game.. A: How can you allow this auto-aim crap for PvP? B: It's ridiculous to have the gun facing AWAY from an enemy, push VATS and SHOOT, and you hit your target.

    --The way to initiate PvP is completely broken, because the attacked player has a huge advantage. P1 does almost no damage to P2 until P2 shoot backs. So P1 gets full damage. The only way PvP works is if you trick someone into shooting you first. But there's no incentive to use PvP at all in-game.

    --Having the quests revolve around holotapes is insane, because you never have time to sit around and listen when you get them. Either you're going to find another soon, or a note to read, or you're hearing other people on the mic, or you're simply playing the game and can't focus on them. I tried giving the story a chance but the game just does not let you immerse yourself. It doesn't seem interesting anyway, though.

    --Listen to the radio. A few new songs. THEN THE EXACT SAME SONGS YOU'VE HEARD FOR HOURS IN F4 ARE BACK. Lazy lazy LAZY. How hard is it to license new music for the setting of WV, if you didn't want to produce your own??

    --Even the act of friending/joining someone else's game is confusing, because it's not intuitive or explained.

    --People can't mod this & fix it. Thanks!

    F76 is basically all the parts of F4 that were mindless grinds (like never-ending quest series, building crap) but worse.

    I've been extremely disappointed by modern gaming "trends" ruining fantastic game series (e.g. MGSV, which is 80 hours of picking daises and about 2 hours of story) but this is the first time I'm kind of insulted by a game studio.
    Here's the MAIN thing, and why this game is so disappointing.

    There's a huge difference between a game that isn't very good, but is worth playing, and a game that is just completely banal, no fun, not creative, and not worth anyone's time.

    Sonic 06 is an infamously bad game -- tons of glitches, comically bad controls, etc. -- but it has heart and some redeeming qualities (music, cutscenes, and it's semi-fun once you understand the meta of how to get around the truly terrible controls).

    Lots of games are awful by objective standards, but once you get over their hurdles, can be enjoyable.

    F76 is completely soulless, as many have described it. Outside of the expansive map (there isn't much to actually do in it that's fun) and recreating WV, it seems NO work, thought of planning went into this.

    Bethesda knew they can sell it for $60, it'll make a profit, and all the people who review games for a living and are basically 3rd-party PR for games companies, will talk about it, be gentle with it, and not rip it to shreads. Because they couldn't care less about videogaming or us, the consumer.

    Don't feed the crap machine, please. For the love of God, if you care about videogames at all, DO NOT BUY THIS FOR $60.

    I'll get this for my wife and I for $20 or less for the sheer experience of having 1 game my wife will play with me, and she loves WV. We'll explore the map and then probably stop playing it, because it just isn't fun. There's no incentive to play it unless you just like collecting tape and screwdrivers.

    A 3/10 is more than fair. Bethesda has piled crap on us, the loyal FO fans, so I'm glad people are piling the crap on them. As someone who runs a special-events business I just don't understand how a company can just spit on their customer and then act like they should be grateful.

    GIVE people refunds who want one. STOP using this awful launcher (deleted my entire game on beta day! Nice!). MAKE IT UP to people who've trusted you, Bethesda.

It is running (poorly) on a very old outdated engine that really can't handle and was not built for multiplayer. The bugs involved with the multiplayer make this game impossible to enjoy.

    Too many bugs at launch. It would be quicker to list the things that are not broken. Which is a very short list.

    They took an ancient single player gaming engine and forced it into something it is not and it didn't work. The code is so bad, some XBOX players report it overheats and shuts down their system. Some kind of memory leak or CPU loop. I suspect that many of the problems are technically unfix-able. If they could open up the game to modders, since it is based on the FO4 game, things could quickly be brought under control and an OK game might emerge. Thing is, that will not happen for a year and only on private servers which they will charge for.

    Some good elements when playing with friends, if you can get that feature to work, since it is really buggie. But even this system is woefully broken. To do a quest together, you both need to be at the same point in the quest, otherwise only one member benefits.

    In it's current state, it is unplayable and a 3/10 is generous. 10 years ago, fix all the bugs and I would consider a 6/10. By today's standards, it just does not make the grade -

    I will follow the game to see if they can bash it into something reasonable, or wait to see if private servers are worth the effort. I suspect the cost of this will drop and servers will be free or privately hosted - charging money for this game is borderline criminal.    … Expand

Constant stuttering on a 1070ti and 4790k, halfway done graphics settings, no option to disable the god awful godrays and depth of field, and no anti cheat or client validation, making cheating easy and already available. exploring was fun, but the world felt empty without NPCs, and once you complete the short main questline there isn't much for you to do. Bethesda built this game off player interaction, the players being the only NPC's, but this was a mistake. the world feels empty and forcefully built around this premise, people dying soon before you discover them or everything and everyone being a robot. This focus on interaction with other players is a bad idea, as most players either stay away from others for fear of PVP or try and kill each other, and there is no good way to communicate since there is no text chat or push to talk, its all of your mic all the time. Microtransactions are abhorrent in a 60$ game, and the gameplay gets extremely grindy once you hit level 25. Settlements are limited and the inability to craft storage not tied to your stash makes no sense. Not worth full price, and not even worth the 42$ you can get it for on a CDkey site right now. If it gets some major content updates in the future and the issues get fixed it has the potential to be a decent fallout based survival game… Expand

    It's a bad mod for fallout 4.

    It's buggy,boring,laggy and lazy. Just another cash grab from a developer that use to be good.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Fallout 76 fails on three fronts. First and foremost, as a game, it's bland and uninteresting. The gameplay loop isn't interesting, the gunplay is boring to brain dead, and the while the world is relatively good looking, it is not interesting, The game is a mechanical mess, with little to no work put into balancing (enemies 25 levels above you are rarely a challenge due to failing ai, and general quality of life work is poor to nonexistent (quests such as collect ten empty beer bottles and a limit stash which inhibits the only core feedback loop). Finally the game doesn't add anything to the fallout series, it isn't fun, it doesn't make sense lore wise, the co-op is not fun or enjoyable, and overall it just makes me worry about the future of the fallout series.… Expand

    Fallout 76 is Bethesda's biggest mistake. The main story in this game is a sorry excuse for a main story. The only thing you are doing in the main story is fetching stuff. I like to compare that to helping your dad fix the car, by handing him tools. There are no NPC's in the game or anything to do, and for an open world game like Fallout 76, that is inexcusable.

Your only purpose in this game is collect loot and kill enemies. If only think about the gameplay while playing this game, I can promise you will have a blast, but you shouldn't have to do that in a Bethesda game. If this game was a person, it would think its amazing in their own mind. This game's biggest mistake is being the first game in the series to be an online multiplayer game, but I can assure you that won't last long, with private servers coming in 2019.… 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]
