I was expecting something more akin to Rust where I would be afraid of encountering other players because I did not want to lose my stuff. They implemented a baby style of PVP that just doesn't work. Its as if you need to ask permission to pvp against someone. Horrible. I probably wont play more than a few hours more (already level 20) because I'm getting tired of reading notes and listening to holotapes. What a waste of $60. I'm going back to Rust to get my PVP fix.… Expand

    I was skeptical towards this game when Bethesda first announced it in E3. I was "are you sure you want to do this Bethesda?" and "are you sure you know how to do it?" and I was right.

    Horrible frame rate, world feels empty. Annoying gameplay, hard to find ammo, have to dehydrate, feels like a chore most of the time. Game lacks identity: doesn't know whether it wants to be a online shooter (which its not) to a rpg. Gun play is not in the same realm as other games in the same genre. They were better off putting their efforts into Starfield and Skyrim then this rubbish.

    Hitboxes need work. Point blank, shooting a shotgun at Robot/Feral/Scorched and miss entirely? Is this an episode of the A-Team?

    Am sorely disappointed with this. As someone mentioned earlier, if this was an addon for Fallout 4, it would have been great and truly enjoyable as a single player experience.

    As multiplayer, with the amount of issues and poor mechanics, it's subpar at best. Add an offline mode with NPC's, deeper quests and I'm sold.

    Barring boring game play, eternal spawning events that are more a nuisance and obstacle, the scenery is incredible. I like the new creatures and weapons. But the game has a LONG way to go to make me want to play it for hours on end. Right now, 1-2 hrs is all I can muster.

    One quick note, I was foolishly under the guise the BETA was to fix and repair, knowing now, it was merely an early access (which progress via trophies didn't port over in some instances) forewarning of what was going to be.

    I feel a bit foolish for purchasing the Digital Tricentennial version and the guise of a whole brand new game. Shame on me. Bethesda, you really dropped the ball on this one.    … Expand

    A major downgrade in the Fallout series. Most of the good was literally ripped from Fallout 4, using the same engine, and almost all the same sprites, items, mechanics, and environmental features. Almost everything they added in that was new or changed was a step down in quality.

    The story is awful, the gameplay is boring and frustrating, and the immersion (what Bethesda is known for) is non-existent. The only real redeeming features are the aesthetic, the large, open world, and the social aspect, but those aren't enough to save it.

    Ultimately, Fallout 76 feels like less of a AAA game about living in a post-apocalyptic world, and more of a C game about cosplaying as a post-apocalypse survivor in a mediocre LARP theme park.

    The Good:
    1) Great Aesthetic: Beautiful scenery that makes you feel like you're truly immersed in a post-apocalyptic world, and with a solid soundtrack.

    2) Open World: The game takes place in a giant, relatively well-designed open world for you to explore.

    3) Other Players: Other people can make it fun through the depth they add in socialization, teamwork, and interaction. I found teaming up with friends to be rewarding, and some of the group events in the world could be a little fun to take part in with strangers, to an extent.

    The Mediocre:
    1) Some Decent Mechanics: Combat mechanics are ok, but not great (in line with lower level FPS games). This game finally added rifles that do real damage, but shoot slower, which has long been asked for. Crafting and modding mechanics help add some personal touch to the game.

    The Bad:
    1) Story: The story is pretty bad. It's told entirely through holotapes, but they botched it terribly. It's mainly just a series of boring, droning on monologues from "survivors" asking you to come to point B, where you have to shoot things, then point C where you have to shoot things, and so on. The whole game is basically just a scavenger hunt that completely lacks spirit or intrigue.

    2) Motivation: Why should I care about a bunch of holotapes? There are literally no NPC's to be affected by your decisions, and because it's a shared world, you literally cannot change anything in the world at all, not even small things, because other people still have to do the same quests you did later. (In fact, sometimes you see people line up to do the same objective that literally should only have to be done once, like opening a water valve. The immersion is completely broken when this happens, and it happens often.)

    3) Reward System: The reward system makes no sense and feels so detached and anti-immersive. Because there are no NPC's to reward you, after you complete a "quest" you simply receive random loot in your inventory for no reason.

    4) No NPC's: To maintain a no NPC environment in the story, they have to go to ridiculous lengths to justify it. Basically, in every quest line that you are supposed to "meet someone," they turn up dead. It becomes hilariously predictable and unbelievable fast. No NPC stories can work, but this game has failed terribly at it.

    5) Heavy Focus on Meh PVE: PVE is pretty much the only thing that happens that matters at all in this game, and it gets repetitive and uninteresting fast. Basically it's the same as FO4, but with no real sentient villains to care about or share dialogue with. PVE is not what Bethesda is known for, and this game relies too heavily on it for a game that doesn't do it very well.

    6) Bad PVP: So, the only villains left are other players, EXCEPT there's not enough motivation to PVP, so it doesn't really happen, or is uninteresting when it does.

    7) Survival Mechanics: Hunger, thirst and weapon condition were added to this game, but were poorly executed. I might have cared less about this if the game was fun, but it just pours salt in the wound when I'm already bored, and I'm having to deal with running out of ammo, food, water, healing items, and my weapons breaking all the time.

    8) Downgraded Building Mechanic: The CAMP system is not an awful building mechanic, but it is a major downgrade from the settlement building/management system of Fallout 4. It's also worth noting that they advertised improvements in this area and never delivered.

    9) Buggy & Poor Programming: There are a number of bugs & poor scripts in the game. For example, there are area defense quests, where I found myself literally sometimes seeing enemies spawn in front if me inside the defending area, which should never happen. This was not close to the only issue I experienced, but it was one of the worst.

    Final Score: 4.4/10

    Buying Recommendation: It may be worth playing if you don't care about story, immersion, dialogue, or exciting gameplay, and you just really want a game with a good post-apocalyptic aesthetic that you can mindlessly explore, or play online with friends and strangers. However, even then, wait for it to go on sale. It definitely does not warrant a AAA price tag.    … Expand

So I was very glad when I brought Fallout 76 preowned using a old voucher from a game store. The Fallout 76 retail version after the 40GB install downloaded a 80+ GB online update and it still ran like crap, wtf!?

The Fallout 76 retail version after the 40GB install downloaded a 80+ GB online update and it still ran like crap, wtf!?

    That being said I did enjoy the open world exploration and the tons of mad looting ( like I do in all Fallout/TES games ). The survival, crafting and base building elements didn't really get in the way that much thankfully. It was not long before I got stuff for a small singular base and the gear I needed for many a long fun exploration.

    I even enjoyed the way Fallout 76 told it's narrative. Finding many a aftermath scene then having to pierce that together with the audio and/or text logs to figure out what happened. It was a fun little mental exercise loop for sure.

    Fallout 76 sixteen times the detail and all new rendering and lighting? Odd that this game runs so bad, but looks worse than the dated Fallout 4? Then again graphics aren't everything, but they are a nice bonus right? NPC Character models looked worse than the environments for sure and the animations are also kind of poor quality.

    The thing that makes this game fall down so hard is the combat due to the frame rate and online latency issues. It doesn't matter if I like the narrative style, exploration, looting and are ok with the survival, crafting and base building aspects. If the game runs like total crap in nearly every combat scenario.

    The 800 stash limit was another off putting game design. Anyone one who has played Fallout 3/4 & NV knows this is a measly size. Having to swap things out constantly even early game was annoying. It doesn't take long to fill that stash box up for sure.

    This game is so not optimized for the PS4 whatsoever. Shame really, because I was really getting into all the other stuff that worked. Then again FO4 runs kind of bad. So why I am even surprised at the very poor current optimization of FO76.    … Expand

    Fallout 76 is **** not a game. the problem with optimization, the problem with the network code (I Know that they fixed it, but at the start it was impossible to play). Who does not know, if you have more frames per second, that your character runs around the location like mad, the less frames per second, then you think you walk like a Kuala. The game is unfinished and raw.

Honestly the response is surprising did anyone think that this was really going to be that good? Bethesda, I feel before the release was very honest on what kind of game this was going to be. That game is a MMO light action RPG with no NPCs besides enemies, and other three letter acronyms. I am here to say while this isn’t a great Fallout game it was bug filled, and rather boring I do think people are being very hyperbolic to say the least.

    Fallout 76 has a story… or mostly a premise because the rest of the story is either text and/or audio logs that I bet most people do not care to read/listen. The premise is you are one of the first people to leave the Vault like ever and you are out there to build and explore, and figure out what happened to the Overseer. That’s is all I know about the story, the rest that I played I could not care less about it.

    The game plays like previous Fallout games, but as if a third party was trying to make one and not get sued. It was so close to what we all know and love but was just missing like all the beats that make a Fallout game fun. The level up system was this new weird card pack thing where you get cards you’re your increase attributes. Only you could only have so many cards in each slot, and are limited in choice at the beginning. I honestly was rather confused on the whole deal. Being that it is MMO light the world will have random events that’ll give you goodies if you do them. It’s nothing special at the early game stages and unfortunately, I can’t speak for end game content so I have no idea if it gets better. The online community seems very troll free, I ran into many people and never had someone try and kill me nor try and be obnoxious. Sadly, one of the biggest sins of the game is the rework of the VATS system. It is now just an auto aim real time thing. In the old version, you could target body parts and get a percentage whether you’d hit it. Now you either hit the enemy or miss. That’s it. The other pain in the ass thing is the fact you now must eat and drink to make sure your stamina doesn’t decrease. I hate survival games, 90% of them are just tedious and annoying Fallout adding this mechanic gets old quick. For those of you who are worried you can’t play single player you must now go make friends I have good news and bad news. The good news is you can play this entirely single player without it being stupid difficult. The bad news is the game is boring as hell by yourself. With friends, you could have a lot of fun screwing around the wasteland, and doing this quest. By yourself it is so quiet and lonely you might want to put on a podcast and give the illusion of people.

    Overall it isn’t the God-awful mess that people should create a giant pyre to throw all known copies into so it can’t hurt anyone else. It is just a bad game that most fans of the series won’t really enjoy. I can see this game having a following though because it isn’t unplayable it just isn’t that fun to play. I know this sucks because it is a Fallout game and we love Fallout, but hey you still have 3, 4, and New Vegas so go play those. I give this a LOW RENTAL because I still think people should try it and give their thoughts. This very well may be your thing it just isn’t mine.    … Expand

    Overall Fallout 76 is a pretty cool game, it's a nice experience. However, in my opinion, it completely destroys the purpose of the Fallout series. I don't feel the immersion that i feel in other fallouts. Bethesda tried to make something too good to be true, Fallout just isn't made for multiplayer gameplay. Sidenote: The map is amazing

How these so called game "journalists" are ok with this is beyond me 'cough' Schreier 'cough'. The game itself is really bland. Especially the story/quests that remind of a certain Preston Garvey, hmm i wonder why. But seriously though .Combat is fine, just like in fallout 4 which was decent. World feels quite empty, considering its essentially the only thing you do in the game; Explore. Fallout 76 PvP mechanics are not what you want in a multiplayer game. You seriously need consent for PvP; garbage. While writing this beatiful review i came to the conclusion that this is boring and i dont want to write any longer. Oh, i nearly forgot to mention the awful Pc-port. Due to bethesda's bootleg game engine, the game is locked at 63 fps. Controls feel clunky and are not fit for a online game, Pipboy etc. You cant rebind hard coded keys, amazing. Also you cant change essential graphical options like DoF, Fov and Bloom. Not good. If you managed to read this garbage all the way through, well done, i'm proud of you, love from Finland.… Expand

MMO tropes that by todays standards are instantly outdated. Running on an outdated engine that while continuing to cough out black smoke has created the most colourful Fallout setting to date. The lack of non player characters creates the impression of a dull world, devoid of life and personality. The main quest line tasks the player with the same mission structure on an agonising repetitive loop. Go here, retrieve this, return, a point which is broken up with gunfights with foes both old and new. Renditions of Fallout favorites such as Ghouls and foes conjured from folk law of West Virginia itself are welcome. However one can struggle with Bethesdas' continuing lack of combat development, with times firing a rifle feels like a BB gun. One such gameplay addition carried over from previous titles is the V.A.T.S system, pausing instances of gameplay and allows the player to target individual body parts, compensating for Fallouts abysmal aiming mechanics. The new iteration of the V.A.T.S system however, built for multiplayer is a pointless inclusion, clunky, unresponsive and seems to have only been included because "Its a Fallout game". So called independent servers are laughable and continue to plague various players experiences with connection problems. Glitches have from launch disconnected players from the game, freezing gameplay and in more extreme instances erased game data.

    Nauseating frame-rate, connection issues and under developed gameplay mechanics solidify why this title deserves nothing short than the full force of the atom.    … Expand

I thought ...no NPCs...that's interesting...as I played I felt that part missing more and more. When looking for a solo experience generally you can work out a path to avoid others...but then just when you are ready to complete a quest "pop" another player swoops in and solo play/immersion goes down the pipes. If there was a "go away and leave me alone" mode when you want to play solo and a "glad to see you" mode when you feel like interacting with people then things would be better. Game is buggy getting tagged as "wanted" for walking through an area gets irritating. Taking control of a camp then the camp turns on you and server disconnects...

    Building structures only to leave the game and then they are all gone once you "claim" an area...

    Lack of any type of story via people...going around and "searching" for dead people...because you already know there aren't any alive.

    It's no Fallout New Vegas ( the truest of the post Fallout 2...should have been titled Fallout 3)...it actually had a story line that made sense. I see strained effort to setup the types of things that felt effortless in New Vegas...things that don't make sense when you take less than a second to think about it. Open world with splatters of Fallout lore...lore that is misused/confusing/irritating. Not sure what story line this branched off of but the whole thing feels...sell out/merchandise oriented...no spirit no soul...no story that really makes me want to know more. The first few "clues" pretty much point out where things are going...Also as cool as nukes are...what do they really have to do with rebuilding the future? Playing the BETA and quite some time on the full game I'm trying to keep an open mind...but it's getting difficult...I really want a good story that feels effortless and valued. Not someone that spits out a strained story with smatherings of lore just to try to slap a Fallout title on it.

    Maybe...just maybe they'll get back to the roots and stop making these FPS/Mine craft smashups with no soul/storylines for a quick buck and get back into some really good story-lines that truly takes the Fallout lore seriously. This is probably closer to Fallout tactics in terms of making sense in the universe that is Fallout...only the people that made tactics somewhat understood what made the Fallout franchise...well Fallout.

    First and foremost, I think it's important to underline a few of the things Fallout 76 does right, because I feel many tend to focus on its worst elements.

    One thing Fallout 76 does incredible at, is environmental story telling. The world feels lived in, and the ruins feel atmospheric. Even though this game lacks the NPCs we've all come to enjoy from Fallout, they still manage to present some great side stories through Holotapes, and assorted bits of Lore.
    The landscape is brimming with plant life, with it being far more prominent compared to past games in the series; It looks and feels so distinct from anything we're used to seeing from Fallout. There are just so many details you can overlook and so many places you can go; The game just has this level of macbe beauty to it all...

    Aside from some of the multiplayer and base building elements there really aren't many more things I can say positively about the game... Fallout 76 just feels like it needed more time. Although many familiar elements from Fallout 4 and other games in the series are here, there are also a lot of things that feel sorely lacking. The procedural events feel awkwardly timed sometimes, and although the world has other players, many are disinterested in communicating let alone engaging with you (Though this isn't necessarily a new thing for multiplayer experiences).
    This game wants to be special, and I genuinely feel like they tried to make it good. But as it stands right now, Fallout 76, for all intensive purposes, is a work in progress I just can't recommend.    … Expand

    Having put some time into Fallout 76, I can say that it is not an enjoyable experience, for me at least. There are a number of reasons for why I don't enjoy this game, so I suppose I'll start with the lesser reasons and move on from there.

I have put 168 hours into Fallout 4, which was by the way my first Fallout game, and loved every second of time    Having put some time into Fallout 76, I can say that it is not an enjoyable experience, for me at least. There are a number of reasons for why I don't enjoy this game, so I suppose I'll start with the lesser reasons and move on from there.

    Fallout 76 doesn't feel like Fallout. I have put 168 hours into Fallout 4, which was by the way my first Fallout game, and loved every second of time I put into that. I came into Fallout 76 expecting a similar game, but one that had enough differences that it would feel new and fresh. Sadly I was left disappointed. The world feels recycled, the quests feel meaningless and the gameplay feels generally boring and more of a chore than a fun time.

    I'll start with explaining how quests work. Basically, you're gonna be getting quests through a few different means, be it through a robot, a holotape or a note left by a long diseased character. But the reason I kept coming back to Fallout 4 and Skyrim is because of what the quest has to offer and how the quest offers it. Quests felt good to complete because they made it feel like you were helping someone, or having an effect on the world. Unfortunately, because there simply isn't any NPC human in this game, it feels like you are just running errands for robots or long gone characters, and it feels as if it has no effect on the world at all.

    Next, the world itself. Fallout 76 feels like a recycled version of Fallout 4, with some multiplayer sprinkled in for something "new". Every location I have visited in Fallout 76 felt like it had already been seen in Fallout 4. Even the distinct different parts of the map felt as if I had seen it before. Basically, Fallout 76's world just feels like Fallout 4, with real players rather than NPC's.

    Finally, the gameplay. Fallout 76 has nothing new to offer in the sense of gameplay other than the fact you can play with friends. Everything I have done in Fallout 76 felt boring. Exploring felt boring. Doing quests felt boring. Building a base was a bit or fun for a while but eventually felt boring. I did get a chance to play it for about an hour with a mate, and even that still felt repetitive and boring. The only way I can see anyone enjoying this game is through setting yourself your own goals, which is what games like this exist for. But when you feel as if the only way you can enjoy this game is by doing your own thing and ignoring the story/ side quests, the gameplay gets repetitive and boring really really quickly.

    Fallout 76 feels more like a chore to play. The only reason I have given it a 4/10 is because I did have some good fun in the first 4-ish hours I played it, but after that it just felt like I'd seen everything. I wanted to like this game, I really did, but it has let me down.

    Out of all the games I have played, this one has disappointed me the most.    … Expand

I dont know the last time I genuinely enjoyed a Bethesda Game. I have little faith I will again, and that hurts because I used to hold the company in very high regards. Skyrim? Vanilla bland version of Oblivion. Fallout 4? Fallout for dummies and little to no world design. Doom 2016? Instead of a fast paced fps run and gun you have lots of meaningless, boring, tedious acrobatics, and a game that in general just overstays its welcome.
    Im getting off topic though, back to 76.
    Now with 76 we have... Nothing. A decent co-op time for sure, but no NPC's, no reason to explore, no uniqueness left in the game whatsoever. The enemy designs are among the best the series has ever had-- I'll give it that. Thats the most I can say, though. Its fallout 4 but with even LESS to do, less content, a larger, more barren map, and a restricted highly limited building system compared to 4's.
    This would also be a good time to mention I have ~70 hours in 76, I have played the game extensively since launch. And I understand all the hate. Look at a game like Fallout 3, over a decade old, and holds up better than Fallout 4 or 76 ever will. The game had an actual WORLD. Vivid and practically alive locations and residents, each person was an actual individual, there was something to do at every location and town. 76 is so lifeless its embarrassing Bethesda even /thought/ of this game.

    Fallout 76 has next to nothing to offer outside of some fun co-op moments with friends. The entire game is a bland, lifeless experience, and is hardly worth playing. Bethesda is a ghost of who they once were and I doubt they'll ever be back to their golden days. Each game they pump out s just mediocrity after mediocrity. Bethesda is dead.    … Expand

    Fallout 76 is not a game for the fans it's a game for the wallet of investors.
    Fallout fans will be extremely disappointed in this game while new players might find some fun in it.
    Everything that was Fallout have been removed and you are left with a almost empty shell of a game. Building is very disappointing and fairly buggy. PVP is useless and there is no incentive to PVP unless    Fallout 76 is not a game for the fans it's a game for the wallet of investors.

    Building is very disappointing and fairly buggy.
    PVP is useless and there is no incentive to PVP unless you want to grief people by removing the floor beneath them.
    Weapon modification has less then half the options in Fallout 4.
    Gear drop is stupid since the good gear has level requirements way above your current level.
    There is very little story and about 40% of it you have to read the rest is from holotapes.
    There are NPC's but none are memorable or have anything to offer dialogue wise.
    The world feel really lifeless, way to lifeless even for a post apocalyptic world. Teaming up with randoms is almost impossible.

    There are bugs, but i have not encountered anything game breaking so far. Mostly animation issues and the occasional flying body. Your camp can get reset between log outs if someone else build their camp near yours.
    The game is far to easy. You can kill a level 12 mob at level 4 with ease.
    Microtransactions are there but can be ignored. But it would be better if they weren't there at all.

    But with all that said the game is certainly not a 0/10. With friends you can have a good time but i would be surprised if anyone plays this to max level.

    It's not worth the full 60 bucks so you are better of waiting for a sale and get it when it is below 25 bucks.

    Maybe Fallout 76 will become like No Mans Sky and actually get good after 1 year of updates, but as it currently stands it's a soulless game made with no passion.    … Expand

    The endgame content is grinding. The bugs and glitches are game breaking (game freezes and crashes). Roleplaying is nonexistant. No one plays the pvp. Building is locked by perk cards making it late game content for most people. Stash is too small

I've played every Fallout since the days of 56k modems. Yes they have gotten a bit "worse" over the years as they strayed further and further from the "your choice matters" kind of narrative but I still enjoyed them. You know why? Fantastic story telling and immersion via INTERESTING NPC PERSONALITIES.

    I'm just floored that they thought completely removing any NPC interaction would be a good idea. I played the beta and was completely bored within an hour. My wife, who loved watching me play Fallout 4, fell asleep in less than an hour watching me play FO76. It becomes extremely repetitive as soon as you leave the vault. Walk here, find some junk, kill some enemies, loot their junk, find a workbench, scrap your junk... rinse and repeat. The quests don't even serve any real purpose other than helping you find other places to loot some junk. Any quest that asks you to "find where so-n-so went" fall 100% flat since EVERYBODY IS DEAD so you already know you will never find anyone. You end up running from computer to computer, or note to note, until you discover what happened.

    I had made a choice to play this rather than RDR2 because I like sci-fi and I'm not really into westerns. After the beta I immediately bought RDR2 and have been loving it. You know why? Fleshed out, totally immersive NPC INTERACTIONS! Bethesda has failed horrendously with this game. I'm giving it a 3 because I like picking up loot a lot, but that only stays fun if I have an immersive story and characters to keep dragging me along.    … Expand

    Any fun to be had from exploring and scavenging will quickly evaporate into frustration due to technical problems at a fundamental level. Core quest design is also heavily hamstrung by not having any NPCs - the lack of consequences or social positive reinforcement for your time and effort makes your adventure seem purposeless.

    I see a lot of phony reviews both positive and negative, so I'm gonna give my best shot at a fair objective review.

    Lets start with the limited positives: - Huge map (this probably the only impressive part of the game) - decent survival mechanics They won't amaze you, but they are fairly deep while not being too obnoxious - Group Objectives are fairly well done Perhaps the only    I see a lot of phony reviews both positive and negative, so I'm gonna give my best shot at a fair objective review.

    Lets start with the limited positives:
    - Huge map (this probably the only impressive part of the game)
    - decent survival mechanics
    They won't amaze you, but they are fairly deep while not being too obnoxious
    - Group Objectives are fairly well done
    Perhaps the only actual content worth playing, sadly they are usually fairly tough to complete solo meaning solo players completely miss out on the only content worth playing.
    - Nice environments
    A few places on the map are really nice.

    Negatives:
    - No reason to do anything (really, there is just no point)
    - Holotapes, Holotapes, and did I mention...Holotapes
    Whoever thought tape recordings were an adequate replacement for NPCs should be fired. Its soulless and tiresome. It defeats the point in tracking down Suzie when you know all that is gonna be there is her corpse with a tape next to it.
    - Servers have very few players on them
    For a game that focuses on multiplayer there are very few multiplayer interactions. Largely because there are only like 3-5 players on a server at the same time and often their levels aren't even close so they have no reason to play together
    - Slow progression
    And I mean painfully slow, It definitely feels slower than single player Fallouts. Its clear that rather than give us actual content, Bethesda decided to drag what little content there is out as much as possible. But its not fun, and It makes it nearly impossible to catch up to your higher level friends; which kills the multiplayer angle. Either they are stuck in low level areas not having fun, or you get dragged into high level areas where you still don't level very fast and struggle constantly.
    - Laggy servers
    - Tons of bugs
    - Frame rate drops constantly, and often for no reason; sometimes down to an absolute crawl.
    I think you get better frame rates watching a flipbook set in motion than this game.
    - V.A.T.S
    Idk why they bothered trying to keep it, might as well have just removed it for this installment. Its ultimately fairly useless in anything except pvp.
    -PvP
    Should be a positive, but its executed so poorly its relegated to the negatives. For those that don't know, both players have to to consent to pvp via shooting each other once but the player who fires first is at an extreme disadvantage. From what I can tell, nobody even bothers trying to pvp because there are no rewards or incentives and its not even competitively fair. Aside from that one guy who is level 40 trying to goad level 5s into pvping with him.

    Conclusion:
    Fallout 76 does a couple of things right and a whole lot of things wrong. While there are certainly some nice environments and moments you can enjoy; most of the time they are ruined by lag, bugs, or the overwhelming feelings of pointlessness. Its a multiplayer game that you spend most of your time alone and lonely in without any writing or story driven narrative to follow to motivate you to progress. I'm honestly not sure who enjoys this game, but I'm guessing not many people do. Its not a good single player experience, its not a good co-op experience, its not a good pvp experience. Its just a game that tries to do everything and excels at nothing.

    I am giving it a 3/10 because it does have a few things that can be appreciated and I feel somewhat generous at that score.    … Expand

    Opinion from the Russian player. Хоть мы и в России очень любим всё ядерное и катастрофическое, Fallout 76 не вызывает желания ринуться в магазин и бросить в кассира деньги со словами - "Мне 10 копий игры Фоллаут, пожалуйста".

Хоть мы и в России очень любим всё ядерное и катастрофическое, Fallout 76 не вызывает желания ринуться в магазин и бросить в кассира деньги со словами - "Мне 10 копий игры Фоллаут, пожалуйста".

    1. Пару слов о технической составляющей: периодически тени в игре ведут себя очень странно, прорисовываясь прям перед лицом и шанс, что они порисуются корректно крайне мал, зачастую в в водоёмах и реках не прорисовывается такая мелочь, как сама ВОДА, открытый мир, в котором нам предлагается подзагрузка при входе в закрытые помещения, частенько возникает такое ощущение, что игра "играется"с динамическим разрешением, что заставляет течь кровь из мох глаз ещё сильнее. В общем и целом - игра поломанная.
    P.S. Я кстати был одним из тех, кому Bethesda Launcher удалил игру с компьютера.

    2. Визуальная составляющая. Из-за или благодаря устаревшему движку, который особо то и не предназначен для сетевых проектов, картинка в игре не особо то и радует то, что осталось от глаз. Прошло 3 года с релиза Fallout 4, но такое ощущение, что разница между ними - пару месяцев. Посредственно.

    3. Геймплей особо далеко не ушёл, практически полная копия 4ой части, за исключение, разумеется, режима ВАТС, который подразумевает собой обычный аимбот, и система SPECIAL, которая с трудом, но подстроилась под сетевой режим. Опять же - посредственно.

    4. Сюжет. Знаете, если не задумываться, что все кто тебе дают квесты умерли, за исключением роботов, то мотивация возможно и присутствует. Большинство квестов направлено на - убей, принеси, правда иногда встречаются интересные и необычные задания, но это исключение, поэтому зачастую вы будете убивать и нести.

    Подводя итоги, хочется отметить, что кооперативных игр не там много, и поэтому, это идёт в плюс к игре, но учитывая всё выше сказанное, выглядит игра как халтура и я не советую её никому покупать, чтобы Тод сделал выводы и не думал, раз в названии стоит Fallout, то можно особо и не запариваться.    … Expand

    5: average/mediocre/playable
    4: bad
    3: very bad
    2: terrible
    1: unacceptable/unplayable
    0: malware

    Stability/Bugs:
    Fallout 76 is full of bugs that affect your gameplay.
    Enemies just spawn around you, teleport around, move at ridiculous speeds, ...
    Players are being severely punished for unstable servers.
    The game's networking system allegedly opens the floodgates for cheaters and hackers and is therefore potentially harming.

    The Story:
    There is no proper story, human NPCs are completely missing without explanation.
    The story contradicts the plot.
    The start of the game is uninspired and has no logic at all.
    The most common enemy, the scorched, have a very contradictory backstory.

    Gameplay Design:
    When starting the game, it sometimes spawns you in the middle of a nuclear explosion, surrounded by enemies, in the middle of an irradiated river or in other problematic positions.
    It also very often just removes your house from the game, apparently because "something" was in the same spot on that particular server.
    You can't place buildings where they were before, because placement by building parts and placement by blueprint have different placement constraints.
    In certain areas enemies just respawn within seconds.
    Sometimes enemies' corpses just disappear within seconds before anyone can loot them, despite the game having a mechanic that preserves corpses for looting.
    Playing together (which is the base idea of the game) is made difficult when player's levels differ.
    If you have 2 lvl20 players in your party and 1 lvl40 player, the game will spawn tons of lvl40 enemies on events and quests, which lvl20 players will have a hard time fighting against and won't be rewarded appropriately either.
    PvP is made hard to pull off, puts attackers on a disadvantage, serves no purpose and raises the question if it would even benefit the game if it was patched to actually work.
    Except for a bunch of voice recordings and a variety of mostly very common MMO quests, the world has no substantial reason to be visited.
    The leveling system, espcially the perk cards, is very bad:
    Through the franchise it went from "design a very special/specific person, and then keep them alive as they develop as a character" to "shuffle cards to find out what you're able to do" with a severe disconnect between the character's abilities from who they are - since the player character themselves has no personality.

    Level/Map Design:
    The world map was clearly rushed out, since there are quite a lot of random objects floating high in the sky which were probably not cleaned up properly (which usually happens when the creator is in a hurry).

    Graphics:
    Alpha-textures flicker for a while occasionally.
    Godrays sometimes come out of the ground.
    Shadows sometimes follow the player's point of view, instead of actual light sources.
    Depth of field can't be turned off, sometimes causes unsharpness to occur in the middle of the screen and occasionally misses out a mode-switch which causes you to see the world in the blurry DoF, that you see at the borders of your scope, while not using your scope.
    The game sometimes destabilizes and loads low-LOD objects instead of high-LOD objects.

    Recommendation:
    I highly recommend to put this game into re-development.
    It is riddled with bugs, has a contradicting uninteresting story and suffers from very poor gameplay design decisions. Comparing this game with the rest of the installments of the franchise a purely Co-Op based Online functionality would have been better to bring players together. PvP could still happen through a separate optional system (such as signing up for it at an arena). The start of the game could have been staged as a dire struggle for survival of the (actually alive and mostly computer controlled) population of Vault 76 as they open the doors (together!) for the first time with story/quest initiators like missile silos or the nuclear power plants Co-Op players could for example take control over an NPC they created themselves, who is one of the vault dwellers. Knowing that this game is probably too big of a failure and the old storytelling method is just that: old, I recommend a reboot with said changes, that puts effort into proper dramaturgy.    … Expand

You do get most of your missions from holograms or computers, but that is fine. The game world is great. The map is huge. I want to explore, but I am a level 10, I will wait a little while for that. YOU DO NOT NEED TO PLAY MULTIPLAYER! You can go at is solo. That's what I am doing. Please ignore all the low scores. Everyone knew exactly what they were getting into with this game, it was no secret. Nothing will ever beat New Vegas, this game isn't even close. If you liked Fallout 4 for the most part, you will like this game. If you are a Fallout fan in general, you should play this game JUST BECAUSE! Solid 7 so far.

    UPDATE!!!!!!!!! 15 Nov 2018 5 p.m.

    Ok, so there i was just minding my own business and two idiots decide to follow me around forever all the while shooting me. You do take damage after every shot. I was under the impression, if they fire at you and you don't fire back, you only take that first bit of damage, but no, you will continue to lose health. It isn't much health, but still! I don't mind other players running around in the world, but Bethesda really should make an option where if you want to interact or not. If you don't, you should still see the people, but not interact with them.. That's what I think. When I am trying to complete a mission, being attacked by ghouls, that is enough, but no, you have to worry about other people attacking you. Its dumb...DUMB DUMB DUMB. Weren't we all supposed to be from the same vault rebuilding the world? Why would we kill each other? I will leave the score the same. I am still enjoying this game, but I hope Bethesda changes certain parts of the "online" experience.

    UPDATE!!!! 16 Nov 2018 1 p.m.

    Back again with another update. I am really really trying to like this game. I keep telling myself that it is Fallout, I LOVE FALLOUT, but after a while, it doesn't feel like Fallout anymore. A major gripe that I have is using melee weapons. I get swarmed by level 1 ghouls, I am a level 15. I swing the golf club, the ghoul moves. It takes forever to set up again and swing again, the ghoul moves again while I am being attacked by 5, 6, 7 more ghouls. I know, I can use guns, but these are level 1 ghouls! The melee combat sucks. its worse than any other Fallout game. The most annoying part is when you are being swarmed and then the frame rate freezes, then it catches back up and you are no longer facing the way that you were and now the ghouls are behind you. Its annoying. And another thing, since when did the rad moles or mole rats, whatever they are become such a problem. HOLY SH*T! For issues like I have been running into, the score is being lowered from a 7 to a 6.

    UPDATE!!! 22 Nov 18

    Ok, so my mind hasn't changed much regarding this game, but I have something new to gripe about. When you go to an area and there happens to be another real player there and this player is very much above your current level, all the enemies in that area will be around that players level. Top of the World, most enemies are not above level 10, I am currently level 20. I left the area and came back a bit later and there was a level 48 person there, all the enemies were level 45. This kind of takes the fun out of the game. Bethesda should never ever try online ever again. they should stick to what they do best, make memorable single player games! I am still enjoying the game for the most part and for what it is i guess, but this game actually makes me miss Fallout 4, and I didn't like that game that much.

    UPDATE: 26 Dec 2018

    The game sucks, score lowered to a 3. I am pretty sure I don't need to give an explanation as to why my score lowered. Go to youtube and watch people talk about the game.

This is by far the worst game in the Fallout franchise (including BoS). The game engine is obviously outdated as the landscape constantly pops in and out in the distance and nothing has any actual depth to it. The gameplay is incredibly generic and essentially boils down to hold L1 to win. The crafting system is horrendous. The new S.P.E.C.I.A.L. Cards are just an absolute nightmare and it makes no sense why they abandoned the skill tree. There is no plot whatsoever, all youre trying to do is take 3 nuclear silos, thats it. The Pip-Boy makes the most annoying radio static sound at all times that you cant turn off and will drive you crazy in 5 minutes if you play with headphones. Not to mention that the game is shockingly lifeless, it feels like you're the only character on the map most of the time. My legit first reation out of the vault was disgust as I saw how flat, dull, and lifeless the overall world of 76 is. This is not okay Bethesda.

    And seriously, items have level requirements, c'mon! The character building is even worse than Fallout 4: some randomized cards, really? You can't build your character any way you want, you just add the cards you happen to get from the packs. There are no skills, stats mean nothing and levels don't matter at all. There's no challenge and the AI is hopeless. Only fun thing in this game is shooting. For a while. Once you get bored of that, you literally run out of things to do.

    I have finally lost all my hope for Bethesda and I will most likely not buy a single Fallout title again. Fallout 76 and Fallout 4 have been so bad and this game made me realize how far Bethesda has driven the franchise from the original ones. These are not Fallout games, no matter how much you try to give them the same name. Fallout franchise is dead to me and I will never pre-order anything from Bethesda again.

    7 / 10 - this is something you would give if you are new to the franchise, decide to give the devs some slack for being their first MMO game, want to just have fun and enjoy the game. Sure the graphical engine is oldish, the world is devoid of humans but hey at least it's full of stuff to do and you won't get bored for the first 10-20 hours.

    5 / 10 - this is the review for those of you who have heard of Bethesda and Fallout but are not die-hard fans. What you'll get is a mixed bag of single player / multi-player RPG features that don't quite work together. The old engine shows, there are pesky bugs all over the place. Not enough to make you leave but enough to take the joy out of it. All in all, a thoroughly average experience.

    3 / 10 - this is the grade for Fallout fans through and through. This game just doesn't deliver. And we have come to expect so much from Bethesda. Oblivion, Skyrim, Fallout: New Vegas, Fallout 4, were all awesome games, with great characters and immersive through rich story-telling and intrigue. This is all missing in a soul-less reincarnation of Fallout 4. From the concept. If we take into account the lazy implementation of a non-functional multi-player experience, city building, leveling up and character customization and the 10-year old graphical engine it becomes just a spit in every fan's face.

    This is Bethesda we're talking about. They could have invested a lot of money in a new engine, in talented programmers and artists to build the most awesome MMORPG there is. But no, they decided to just make a quick buck.

    Сразу скажу, что игру до конца, если он, конечно, есть, я не прошел. Понял только одно: Bethesda решила сделать свой World of Warcraft и стричь с терпил деньжата, при этом особо не заморачиваясь, на протяжении многих лет.
    Только они ошиблись, на таком говне нужно было начинать стричь бабло лет 15 назад, подсаживать лохов с 5 летнего возраста, которые и сейчас в свои 25 лет продолжают скупать все, что касается WoW.
    А теперь на такой графон, такой геймплей и т.д. много не наловишь. Времена изменились. О чем красноречиво говорят оценки!
    Сегодня вышло дополнение 1.36 Wastelanders. Говорят сильно меняет игру. Скачаю, попробую. Изменит ли это моё мнение.........посмотрим!
    Была говном, говном осталась. Теперь вместо роботов задания могут выдать живые нпс. Всё!
    Дополняю свой отзыв по игре уже в третий раз за 2 года. После всех вышедших патчей в этот раз продержался в игре часов 40 к ряду.
    Что сказать. Ну систему прокачки немного доработали, чаще выпадают нужные карты, а не всякий хлам. Так же немного докачали VATS, хотя он здесь и убогий, но часто использую его по мелким целям, в которые трудно целиться, вроде работает.
    В остальном же игра невероятно коряво выглядит. Я не знаю как такое можно было сделать после Fallout 4 ( хотя и там не фонтан), но почти все враги, почти всегда передвигаются не двигая ногами, что касается всяких собак и волков то они вообще тупо левитируют над землёй. Выглядит просто ужасно. Попадания по противникам иногда могут не защитываться несколько секунд.
    Рожи у нпс стали выглядеть намного хуже чем в четвёрке. Освещение вообще с ума сходит, либо не видно не хрена, либо после включения фонарика всё засвечивается, да так, что все предметы сливаются. Ведь игра HDR поддерживает! Где он?
    И в конце концов игра просто скучна. Все до единого задания это: пойди найди, пойди убей, пойди принеси. Исключения есть, но их крайне мало.
    Вообще по игре бегают прокачанные до 200 - 300го уровня мудаки и мешают жить всем подряд, то начинают дубасить по тебе без остановки, то c.a.m.p. твой закрывают, то орут в чате как одержимые. Всё это конечно не критично, но сильно бесит. Почему модераторы не борятся с этим говном?

Before this game was out I have always had the dreams of playing together and now after it's release my dream still has not come true. Compared to other MMO's almost all other MMO games allow players to connect to each other and this one does not as the servers are broken, buggy and not to mention character creation is dull and useless. Despite the bugs there is a lot of things to do such as questing and grinding. And not to mention weapons, resources and all the nice stuff is limited to the awful atomic store. What makes fallout give me a score of 3 is that when you do get a chance to play it, you have the beautiful view, almost no lag and an authentic fallout experience similar to fallout 4.… Expand

    Its a scam
    You want a bigger Fallout 4 with less interesting to explore no real story and less options to build. Well then Fallout 76 might be for you. Keep your pocket open becouse Bethesda needs all the money you got for their **** in game shop.

    Glitch and bugs. Cheap story. Idiotic HUD and playermanagement .. Only plus is the building.

    This game feels like a very unsuccessful past copy of this game. There are a lot of bugs in the game and the game is very boring too bad that this fallout series is very successful !!

    So utterly disappointing and flawed in every possible way… The first few hours, most of it can be ignored, and occasionally the flaws can be forgotten, but only briefly before they come storming back to the forefront. An awful, boring, empty, pointless experience. There is, however, a glimmer of hope. It's worth mentioning that there has already been a Bethesda title that was equally as unimpressive: The Elder Scrolls Online - but looking at it now, it has transformed into one of the best MMOs out there. There's always the hope the Fallout 76 develops the same way and becomes something special, but for now, that seems impossible. It's a world away from that.

    Fallout 76 isn't your typical fallout experience. You don't have NPCs or dialogue, but instead get real players that should fill this void - that ultimately fails to do so. It does some things right, but as of now I cannot recommend getting this game as long as it stays a broken and boring mess that it is right now.

    Fallout 76 is the series’ Freshman introduction into the world of online, multiplayer games. As a result, we are experiencing all of the awkwardness and clumsiness associated with that season of life. It is imperfect and a bit uncomfortable, but I see opportunity for Fallout 76 to be more than it presently it - to be a truly great, rich Fallout experience.
