    At this point the game should be offered for free as "early access", asking for ANY money is just hilarious.

This is what happens when review companies accept money for reviews. I don't know what kind of power Bethesda has to have a review embargo or whatever. Its been 5 days since release and there are only 2 critic reviews, Doesn't something about that seem very odd to you? I read that as a lot of damage control by Bethesda.

    Im glad this game is getting such terrrible reviews. I love Fallout and elder scrolls games but we cant keep rewarding Bethesda for giving us outdated and just plain lazy game design. They even plan on using the same engine for Elder Scrolls 6 and there new space game. If this backlash doesn't wake them up and cause them to actually give us a new game for elder scrolls 6 then Bethesda deserves to crumble.

    I mean honestly how do these game concepts get approved by a room full of People? No npcs? Weird PvP that just ruins the game. (have separate PVP and Pve/pvppve servers and people will make their choices like every other game that tries to do this. You cant make everyone happy and when you try you make no one happy. The game is a buggy mess that just isn't ready, there is no content, no end game, and base design sucks. There is nothing going for this game period. Every time a new bethesda comes out I start to lube up because I know Todd Howard is going to **** me.

    They marketed this game saying it would be a unique MMO Fallout experience. It's Fallout 4 with a new map, no driving story, and all the fallout 4 bugs still attached. This game is so unbelievably
    unremarkable and only for those that love the fallout universe and want to play it with like-minded individuals

    It's hard to say that this even can be classified as a game. It is more of a 3D map that you can wander from place to place, interrupted by server connection issues, or worse dropped from server only to find your progress for the past ten minutes erased and you are starting from a point far from where you were.

Online multiplayer brings little to nothing to the experience. Who wants to wander and comment about a 3D map with another person? Nothing on the map is that interesting. The spartan sets of enemies are uninteresting. The quests are uninteresting. The building aspect is limited to such a degree by multiple factors that it is uninteresting. I've spent about 30 hours so far TRYING to find something interesting. Spending $60 for a game and having it be mundane and boring with little to interest me, while being inundated by bugs, intentional limits by the developers, and a sheer sense of discouragement as to what I should do in the map (can't call it a game). Loved Fallout 3, 4 and New Vegas, can't find anything to love about this...well wasteland is the best term for it. You should at least be able to set the dumpsters on fire in this game to give it a true symbolic gesture as to what this game is and where you just threw your money at. Expand

The game lags, mobs spawn on top of you, the stash is far too small so you have to throw away armour and weapons you might want to keep. Weapon finds are tied to character level so having found a good gun you can't use it. Audio conversations between other players you aren't teamed with intrude.

While the concept behind the game is certainly sound, the execution was dropped several times on it's head. The player count for the game is underwhelming, leaving each player sometimes struggling to locate one another. Graphically is no different than Fallout 4, along with bringing it's own bugs.

    I however was quite optimistic about the game, giving Bethesda the benefit of the doubt. The game would only reveal a small amount but show it's colors and catch us all in shock. But it failed in the end, as it was shipped in what feels like early Alpha or Beta. While core mechanics are certainly present in the combat, and exploration, the lack of real story, content, NPCs, and substance hinder it. After getting a few good hours in with my partner, we found ourselves genuinely bored. We delved into the PvP system a little, but after a few honest fights, found players simply avoiding combat, which led to further boredom.

    Enemies will respawn immediately once a new player has entered the AO. Meaning any fighting done to scavenge items must now happen again before looting peacefully.

    Overall I feel like Bethesda dropped the ball, trying to create a Fallout style MMO like FF14 but their own twist. With no real story, lore to base content off of, and NPCs to provide much needed dialogue it feels empty. FF14 for example has NPCs that provide small quests or small bits of audio to help the game feel alive. Bethesda could create a few dozen quest givers, with the ability to become incapacitated or no hit boxes, as to prevent players from ruining other players games.

    In the end I'll be returning the game, and waiting for it to release with more content hopefully. Otherwise this is a pass for me.

    I actually believe mod makers could do a better job, if given the chance.
    The game It feels almost like Bethesda have conned everybody out of their money, as this has a price tag of a triple A game & it is far from it almost worse than a E game if there was such a rating.
    The price tag should be no more than $12 USA dollars.

    Bethesda was asked many times in the past within blogs and forums requesting they make a Fallout game that was immersive as Fallout 4 and previous games but was just co-op, only with friends etc.

    The multiplayer game route option they have took is terrible' glitches everywhere server kicks regular and game crashes way too much. This game has destroyed the Franchise and Bethesda should be ashamed of this half effort of a game!

    No going back I suppose for them now, as the baseline game has been made almost it seems with the same engine yet worse outdated and so broken even with a 48GB fix it still plays boring and uninteresting with way to many features broken and missing.
    If only they had listened to the community in the first place ''Single Player Only' OR ''Co-Op only''
    Looks like they just made the game just for some quick Caps $£

    I really think they spent more time and money on the Advert Trailer for the game than the actual game!

    This game is absolute Trash. The in game engine is extremely old and outdated, it has not aged well. The lack of NPC's and story force you to now focus on clumsy mechanics, glitches, bugs, poor textures, and generally speaking - some ugly ass graphics.

    Do yourself a favor and wait until they've supported in some way, also, buy it used. A 10$ price point feels about right. Would not recommend.

    Fallout 76 takes what was extremely dull, trivial, boring and stupid from its former titles and makes it the most interesting parts of its world, exploration and storytelling, which is not a good thing.

    Fallout 4 broke the internet after its initial announcement almost 7 years after Fallout 3's launch (28th of October 2008, which is 10 years ago now) at the very memorable E3 2015 alongside other huge titles that weekend, but after an average gameplay experience, fans wanted something better (it wasn't better) Fallout 76 was announced during a Twitch Livestream and Shown at E3 2018 and released this year on the 14th of November to very mixed opinion, from bad, really bad, to The Quiet Man.

It's a pretty game but it just feels like you're running around in a sandbox with no motivation to do anything, and you have to account for other irritating players who don't want to be friends or trade, and generally ruin the whole experience.

The quests are all fetch and forget ordeals given to you by souless robots or other non-human mechanisms.

    There are NO companions and this hurts because; I always enjoyed the Super Mutant Companions. Last thing I want in a game is to spend hours crafting a nice building or defense only to have some 8 year old ruin it all. Don't even get me started on the patch that is HUGE like 50 gigabytes, so forget it if you don't have high speed broadband.

    Mostly the Fallout 76 is boring, repetitive and uninspired. The story is lame and the lack of Human NPC's just makes the world feel empty. The NPC's used to add a layer of immersion to the story and quests that made things fun, consequential and worth doing. My review has no spoilers because, Fallout 76 is so bad there is literally nothing to spoil here. The problem with garbage is that it is already spoiled and Fallout 76 is just plain straight up garbage. Save your money on this mess it is not worth buying not even for $3.00 in the bargain bin!

    The feeling I get after playing for like 20 hours, is like if I was doing a game and I would tell a friend: "OK, so this is the world, this is where people will be able to walk. I just need to fill it because it's empty." It is absurdly empty. It feels dead. The holotape system is awful and irritating, and doesn't help at all to follow a quest path so you can immerse in the story . All of them feel random tapes. ALL OF THEM.

    CONS:
    Enemies. Enemies? What enemies? All I'm killing are scorched dudes. I killed 2 roaches and 2 mole rats. The rest scorched people.

    Paid content. You can actually pay MORE money to buy stuff (very **** in my opinion) for the game. Like how can you even do that? Where is your integrity? In my wallet? Keep looking then. I find this part extremely hilarious XD Like for real. You can PAY MORE MONEY. Who would do that?

    The no NPC system kills the vibe. To be honest with you, every time I play I keep thinking that I will find a hidden NPC. But it's not gonna happen so... f*ck that.

    PROS:
    Let me state that in NO WAY, the pros make the game any better. Not at all.

    Looks like mods for weapons and apparel are OKish.

    The C.A.M.P it has a loooooot of problems (just like in FO4). But I kind of like the building of your own base.

    I would suggest another title for this game: No Man's Sky from 2016.

The third worst feature is that there is absolutely nothing and no one to care about in the story. This is because it is all told through holotapes that are almost impossible to listen to without being attacked and killed by the Scorched ot Supermutants or, or, or. Infuriating! There are also notes that are illegible (I have better than 20-20 vision) sitting 12 feet from my 70" screen and no way to zoom in on them. Moronic!

    This is the WORST $60 I ever spent on a game. This game make me long for the comparatively great experience of No Mans Sky when it was first launched. This game is a GREAT advertisement for Elder Scrolls Online.

    I have stopped playing this game and will try again ONCE more in about three months to see if there is anything like an adequate gameplay experience. Personally, I hope the colossal incompetents who planned and designed this game are fired and blacklisted

    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.

Now add that with the frequent crashes, myriad of animation and AI problems within enemies, graphical issues within the enviroment and unstable servers that have a tendency to go offline, that should paint the idea of what kind of multiplayer game this will be and the sheer annoyance this will bring to newcomers and casual players along with their freinds. And then for long-running fans of the series, there’s the story elements. There’s the lack of npcs, the lack of bustling towns or settlements and the pitiful attempts to reinvent this world with lifeless robots and audio logs. Quite odd how a major new game in the Fallout franchise has none of the elements that define the series. What we have here is a dysfunctional mess of a RPG, a multiplayer shooter and a product on the market charging $60 for the experience (not counting the in-game store and it’s currency system; atoms). Do not buy this. It is a waste of money and time Expand

    Graphics - Sometimes good, sometimes bad, overall a mixed bag of quality. At this point calling the graphics of a game bad/good mostly comes up to personal taste. I frankly don't care, but I guess some people do. so hey.

    Sound - meh.

    Optimization - PISS POOR. Seriously unless you have the latest hardware available you aren't going to be able to play it at a consistent frame rate is near impossible. Some areas it's like trying to get a near sited 80 year old to describe the image on one of those magic picture toys. Not only that, but due to low frame rate I had to basically use the vats system in every single goddamn fight I got into.

    Basically, it's piss poor game.

I just want to say: this game is the first fallout game since the first in the mid 90ies i do not like at all, the first i just cannot have any fun with. I even liked Fallout Tactics and as from now on the PS2 Fallout is not the lowest of this franchise. That at least made a little bit fun with a friend.

    I feel betrayed by Bethesda. 60 Euro for a game that i cant even get rid of cause i bought it on psn. I hope i do my share to warn people.

Which in all are already intolerable for a full price game in 2018.

    The game itself is . . . empty.
    This is not an rpg as show the lack of npc or the (only) simple quest (go there, kill, loot, repat). You can found storie (trought note and hollodisk or terminal) but you will never be part of anything.
    This is not an FPS, as bugthesda never understand how to make shooter or the ennemi IA that goes with it.
    This is not a survival game as past the few first level you would have no difficulty regarding thirst or hunger.
    This is not an open world PVP as the mechanics are all against pvp (no loot, duel had to be accepted, etc).
    This is not a building game as the limitation won't allow you to build anything biger than a 3 stories house. and anyway you'r camp disaper when you leave server.

    So what is it? It does have the game engine of FO4, it does have the colors of FO4, but it's empty. . . Nothing to do, nothing to see, no fun. Beteshda sould have remeber that FUN is part of the definition of GAME and SUCCES.

    And i had to say it but the atom shop. . . buy usless emoticon, hat or pyjamas are overexpensiv (6$/€ for pyjamas. . . ), pass your way nothing to see.
    At least it doesn't make microtransaction P2W or unavoidable. Which is actualy the only good point of this game.

    The only good point is microtransaction. . . It say it all about how crappy this game is.

Seeing the reviews, hearing stories and responses for previous games I had no doubt that 76 was going to be a blockbuster, the trailer was chilling and when I bought the game on the PS store I had goosebumps. Soon after my download started I started going through the reviews as approx. 15 hours had passed since the game released.

    I found mostly negative reviews but I told myself "These people must be haters or just wanting another typical Fallout game" I was excited to tryout the first full-online Fallout game myself and I gave the devs a lot of credit to begin with for taking this risk to change the way Fallout games were.

    But f****** h*** this game is a piece of s***, I tried so much to be happy, motivated to go up and play this game but it is absolute nonsense. I only opened the game again because I told myself "I have paid 60 bucks, I need to see where this goes"

    PLEASE SAVE YOUR MONEY, DO NOT SPEND IT ON THIS C*** !!

    You cannot even sit on a mountain top or enjoy the scenery or sunset rays because some f****** mutant animal or rogue robot will start shooting the f*** out of you !!!

    Yeah great job Bethesda !! Way to go !! Pop all the champagnes you can !! So now if we need to play or enjoy games we need to go around socializing and encouraging people to play it with us !!

    Even when you tag an item while trying to cook, you cannot see it anywhere on the map !! so you expect us to keep searching the entire f****** map with the stamina meter depleting in less than 10 seconds !! F*** YOU !!

    You studio will never be the same as Guerrilla Games or Rockstar !!

    & now you the audacity to release a 42 GB "UPDATE" F*** YOU !!!!!!! The entire game is 52 GB and you are releasing a lot of 42 GB Update !!!!! Have y'all been drinking !!!!!! None of the critics from IGN and popular platforms have released their review... How much did you pay them ?

    Fallout76 is a very difficult game to review because it is such a bizarre entry to the Fallout series.
    I believe I gave Fallout4 a 7 review, this is noteworthy because Fallout76 is basically 85% Fallout4 with all the NPC's and quests removed. (the things that made fallout4 enjoyable) all that is left is a hollow husk of a game, with the clunky gunplay and inventory system of Fallout4.

    If you enjoyed the gunplay in Fallout4 and enjoyed building a settlement, but found the quests disinteresting. Then maybe Fallout76 is for you, if you want to go around bashing ghouls with your friends sure it can be fine.... for awhile. Other than killing random mobs and looting their corpses this game is devoid of purpose. There is no RPG elements, no branching stories, or interesting characters; just a group of roving psychopaths murdering irradiated creatures (you and your buddies).

    I am very disappointed by this game, it feels lazy and uninspired. The game is also awash with bugs and technical issues. I hope for the sake of the Elder scrolls series that Bethesda will learn from the failure of Fallout76 that is my only positive for this game.

    I'm not surprised that my review had to come to this; this has got to be the worst Fallout game I've played in recent years.

    Now, I personally never played Fallout games for the combat because the combat in all of them is quite bad. I've always played Fallout for the dynamic world building and RPG elements. Fallout was the type of game that made me feel like my choices matter; this is seen especially in Fallout 3 and New Vegas. Fallout 4, a bit less so.

    The mechanics of this game aren't very different from Fallout 4, a lot of innovations that came from that game are inherited into this game. Fallout 76 has a lot of recycled aspects and because of that it feels like that this game is rushed.

    Now, take the world building, RPG elements, and NPCs out of a Fallout game. What do you get? A glorified battle royale with Fallout 4 combat mechanics, which wasn't even good to begin with.

    Graphics are quite bad; low texture quality, ugly mesh models, and stiff animations make this game an eyesore to look at. Performance is awful as well; how can an engine, that's almost a decade old mind you, run so poorly on the current generation of consoles?

    So yeah, Fallout 76 is a game with such wasted potential. If this game wasn't charged for full price, I would've been more lenient. However, they want me to believe that the game is as good as a game like Red Dead Redemption 2, and that game is superior in almost every single way in my opinion. I would rather recommend you to purchase that game rather than this, especially when Red Dead Online comes out.

    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.

    This is my first review at ZERO score.

    Here's why:

    I am a huge fan of the franchise. I got the game pre-order and cancelled during the Beta, because it was poor in both what I saw and not worth £60 when compared to Rockstar's Red Dead Redemption 2 which released within the month of 76, there's an epic void of quality between the two.

    Within 9 days 76 was on sale at half price. A reflection of its actual value. Make no mistake, this is not an original game, I've put in a good 40+ hrs and it's just a poor mans FO4. The AI is actually worst than FO4, honestly, it's really, really bad, and alone this beautiful yet empty world feels boring.
    With NPCs missing, the story is a fetch quest style Go To that only morons could possibly appreciate, logging in to a terminal to read and read then go to next place, pick up tape and listen and listen - it's all so hollow. Where are the characters... oh ...that's right "we are the NPCs" ...no, we're really not.
    In 40+ hrs my encounters have mostly been people running away from me, people waving and trying to give me free stuff, or me shooting people and them logging off / jumping to a new server. There's such poor PVP mechanics, that I wonder why they added it at all - and it's your fault, the solo players that whined when 76 was announced that they didn't want to be bothered by other players - well - they made a game so poor, such bad mechanics that if after a month of logging in your still going, you are alone as everyone else is bored mindless.
    Bethesda's desire to use such an old engine really shows when compared to other PS4 titles in 2018. The animations are 100% from FO4, the boss is from Skyrim, and they released this as a full price game.

    Bugs - seriously - from enemies appearing in walls, items causing crashes, workstations causing crashes and crashes just crashing - this is a total mess. I'm on PS Pro and it's dogsh1t.

    What Bethesda could have done:

    Released the game at £20 as 'early access'. Fixed bugs gradually. Added actual content. Not focused on a bizarre Atom store whereby you spend £20 for an emoji and santa hat. Released it with PVP or PVE servers for players. Let more people on a server. Given it a real story. Kept with lore from previous titles. Given it to another developer to make.

    Overall it really as bad as people say. I thought at half price I'd try it after completing RDR2, but I still want my £30 back. I got 9-10 months out of Ark online, and expected to get at least 2-3 out of 76, but it is so boring, so so boring. I've 68 PSN friends and 1 other played 76 - we hooked up once and had a fun evening - but that's because we have fun in any game, not because of 76. There's players out there trying to collect all the blueprints, trying to get higher level legendries - WHY ? Will a better gun make others want to pvp? Will having a new table type make the base building any more fun? No... your grinding your time out on a crap experience. I'd recommend ARK or any online PVP or even ESO over this ... Christ Besthesda, how could you do this to the franchise and not even openly apologise for it?

    This game is a broken waste of money that will never get fixed. They did not even try to create a somewhat decent game. They just just hyped a crappy game to the point that people thought the game would be good. Only die hard fans will even slightly enjoy this mess.

    a lot of bugs. the plot is very weak (and it was a feature of the series!!!), plus it destroys the whole history of the world
    also very little choice in the passage, in fact you can not play an evil character or good
    next - can be said, that there is no NPC... okay - yeah - we have multiplayer... but players on a just 24... as result - multiplayer is very poor and very boring... or need

    but now -actually - the game is meaningless and boring...

    P.S.
    as yes - graphics remained the same and in fact - it's graphics from Morrowind with an additional package of textures

    I gave this game two evenings of time and reached level 12.
    The perk system does not have any influence on the character progression what so ever.
    Either you steamroll ghouls or you get onehitted by enemies that are 5 levels and more above your level. The environment is nice and kind of a fallout atmosphere sets in. However you do not find any good loot at all or the loot you find does

    The environment is nice and kind of a fallout atmosphere sets in.
    However you do not find any good loot at all or the loot you find does not have any effect on your progression as well.
    The events occurring on the map are completely random and you always have a hard time to compete with them. EIther a bazillion of ghouls rush for a machine and destroy it while you stand next to it and wont get any aggression from the mobs or a level 30 monster will spawn next to you and you instantly die - however you can just jump up a fence and kill the level 30 enemy from there because it will move next to you and stand there staring at you until it dies.
    After having collected a lot of scrap and building kind of a base I became frustrated as well by this mechanic, as you can only use a fraction of the available blueprints and would have to grind to unlock more. So my base was up and running and had a decent defense set up - due to blueprint restrictions - when it got overwhelmed by a bazillion of level 30 monsters destroying everything in the base. When I figured out all my resources gained from two days of grinding scrap were gone, because destroyed base items are gone for good, this was it for me.
    Not to talk about no storyline what so ever to guide the player across the wasteland.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Game is really boring and buggy or just unfinished broken junk. When walking backwards you walk into invisible walls yes i see that there was nothing stopping me when i turned around to see why i couldn't walk backwards. The main story quest is you following holo tapes that someone leaves behind and you don't feel like you are contributing to anything. The pvp is broken when you are up against 2 people with power armor and you got nothing and there is something you can do but let them kill you. The building is broken there are only a few spots to build and if someone builds at a workshop you can't move it or collect your stuff that got placed next to it. The hit detection of enemies is also broken. Just don't buy it and save your self the trouble or just watch people streaming it. Expand

    Bought first day for 60€ to enjoy bugs and several kicks from server and crushes just to see it at 36€ discounted on several sites barely a week later.
    It should be a free multiplayer feature for fallout 4.
    What is Bethesda thinking?

    This game is basically a fallout 4 mod. It is a buggy mess and without a proper story and npcs the game is left with a mediocre shooting system, already aged in fallout 4.
    When fans criticez the fallout 4 dialogue system appearantly todd howard decided that the solution is to remove npcs thus removing dialogue and choices completly. Well done bethesda ( sarcastic )

Ditch any trace of a dialog with any living character.

FO 76 tries to be too many things to too many people, all while alienating fans of the actual Fallout franchise. All we wanted was an option to play in a wasteland with 1 or 2 of our friends, not the entire world. What we got in the end was a trash heap of forced multiplayer, no story, and unsteady progression.

Fallout 76 should be a free to play game, it certainly feels like one with its horribly expensive store.

    No NPCS, no story, Fallout 4 copy and pasted graphics, a ton of bugs, cancerous community with names like pu$$y_licker, an empty world. Every game critic goes ham 10/10 5/5 100/100 best game of the year. Oh and I almost forgot microtransactions when the game already costs 60$. And yes these are all issues that Bethesda pretty much confirmed are to stay.

    It is a lazy cashgrab. Don't pay 60 bucks to run around in an empty void. I feel bad for the Designers, that obviously put some thought and effort into the worldbuilding and trying to make something off this ancient engine. In vain, sadly, since the Bethesda was probably like "nono, don't worry, just do whatever, no effort, everyone is gonna buy it based off the name alone"
    But the audacity this company has, to charge 60 bucks AND include laughable high Microtransactions is way beyond me.

    It runs very badly on the PS4 too. I don't own a PS4 Pro, but i guess it runs a bit better there. It's very laggy, sounds pop in and out randomly, so do textures, when they don't decide to have a flashy rave.

    I didn't expect much, and i still was utterly disappointed. I liked the previous entries, especially Fallout New Vegas and after keeping track of Beta Reviews, i thought i could expect some mindless, grindy, braindead fun. But all i got was a broken game and feeling ashamed of myself for giving Bethesda my money.
    So don't be like me, spend your money on something else, just not this insulting abomination.

    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.
