    How Bethesda has fallen from grace, hopefully this is their wake-up call

    The lore of the game is still fun and 100% the same as in Fallout 4!
    It is hard to tell the difference despite a little more sunshine glance effects, the multiplayer mode and some atomic additions the game dont really needed!

    Honestly, it feels almost like a regression from Fallout 4. They scrapped several mechanics throughout and there just wasn't anything to replace them with. The fact that there is just nobody around in the game NPC wise makes it feel incredibly lonely.

    If I could return the Beta and game I would. I have hundreds of hours into Fallout games and I can't get past an hour before this game just sucks. You walk around, get killed, re-spawn, walk around, get killed, re-spawn.

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

Full disclosure: I did my research, wasn't gonna buy it, but Bethesda stuck this in EVERY console bundle deal in my region yesterday (black friday), so buying a second PS4 (I have a 7 month secondment across the country coming up and kids at home who would be pretty agro if I took their PS4 with me), meant I had to get this game. It came with Spiderman and Lego Batman also part of the deal, and considering the price and competition I'm pretty sure Bethesda gave it away.

    Like I say, I wasn't planning to buy it, but now owning it, and after a family sesh of spiderman last night, I felt I had to see what all the fuss was about. I've seen a lot of people saying they're having fun with this game, and I heard most of the bugs were on PC, so I was kinda thinking everyone was over reacting and the PS4 version would really be okay. I've put 3.5 hours in at this point, and .. yeah it's the worst AAA game I've played, hands down. If I payed real money for this, I'd be angry - I'm even annoyed that it came with the bundle TBH. I want to give it 1/10, because it really is a joke of a $60 game, but I'll leave it as a 2/10 on the assumption they fix the bugs.

    To be clear, this game will be really boring I think even once they fix the bugs. I would place it around the level of no man's sky in terms of things to do, meaning you try make your own fun. On the topic of bugs, no it's not just PC, yes they are that numerous, yes it is utterly ridiculous for what's supposed to be a AAA game. Most common ones for me are graphics errors where things are not loading or popping in, atrocious frame rate (even though there's sometimes not that many things visible and the ones that are look like assets from a 10 year old game, the framerate will still noticeably slow down), some animation errors where they seemingly don't load the next animation or skip one, and, of course physics bugs. It's not AS bad as what I've seen people saying the PC one is, but it is totally unacceptable. You think; this came with Spiderman which is supposed to be it's equal in terms of price and quality and this game just feels like a cruddy indiegogo game built with fan-made fallout assets next to a polished, quality product.

    As for the game play... there's nothing "wrong" with it, there just isn't really any. You get a list of chores, you do a list of chores, you get bored and see if anyone else is about to play with but they're all bored too.. If bethesday don't do something fast (meaning about a year of development in a month) it seems inevitable that the active player numbers will drop below sustainable by christmas.

    Don't buy this game, and if it came free with your console, don't waste your time playing it until it gets the development it needs.    … Expand

    But then, you produce this. hype it up beyond belief, charge so much and for the menstrual gush that fallout seventy crap is.

    Even Video game companies are getting in on your hype.

    GAME invested in this double decker bus with an advertisement of the worst game since No Mans Sky launch game not No Mans Sky NEXT.

    How is it wrong? Simple you listened to the wrong people and this is where it gotcha a FALLOUT 4.5

    Major updates:

    Few more enemies (WHOOPEE DOO)

    1 new power Armour (WOW - I feel so warm inside)

    CO-OP playability (There is no sarcasm here... good job Bethesda, but you balls that up too)

    4 times bigger map (really, is that your biggest headliner,oh no wait)

    You can now use nuke codes ( And? so... ah, this is the headliner)

    someone used 3 at once and killed a server - give an idiot a handgun and well.... look what ya did.

    thas it, Kapuut, thas all she wrote...

    oh no, you can now build anywhere ( You had a building system in place and what did you do... ya screwed the pooch)

    DONT FORGET PEOPLE:

    These are the editions you can get your copy of Fallout Seventy crap

    Normal
    Tri (I don’t care anymore) centennial
    A Helmet (to pay this amount for this level of TURD, you must be an idiot)
    A PIPBOY you have to build (kill me now, what think tank thought... let’s get the idiots, I mean consumers have to build a 146 piece heap a balls)

    So in further detail:

    1. Old Engine used
    Fallout Seventy Crap utilises the “CREATION ENGINE”... forget about the bits and what it does, we all know what it does.

    The Creation Engine has been around since the PS3 (wait, what?)... The latest character creation tool Creation Engine is an updated heap a programming ass compared to the previous incarnation Gamebryo.

    You have not brought anything to the table that engages the consumer, you say the graphics and the new engine delivers more detail...really, have you seen how crap it looks on a 4k TV with a PS4 Pro... I have more detail in the turd that’s still clinging on to my rectum.

    2. Lazy programming

    Have you played your game? In the last 6 days my wife and I have given you 7 days worth of patience, 72 hours of gaming in the last week. My wife, being new to gaming... she was my wingman on Fallout 4 Awesome... now she wishes I get rabies and my balls fester in a corner due to the fact that she has been infected with playing such a horrendous game. 3. No NPC story telling Fallout 3 and 4 had immense and immersive storytelling, the quests and side quests were superb, the engagement and satisfaction from having “Cogsworth” “Nick Valentine” Paladin Danse”... so many stories. what do we have in Fallout Seventy Crap: Notes, Robot and Holotapes (Wow, really...the level of sarcasm is nuclear level....just wow, I bet you spent thousands working on such guph) 4. Graphic detailing poor at best As previously stated, walk up to a wall and check out the Atari 2600 detail of a wall or a piece of wood. Wow... I thought playing a DOS game was poor 5. Someone’s getting released from their job Over the last 6 days your share price has dropped, your position in the video game industry as a pinnacle of what is right and great in the video game industry has been rocked... by no one else but your own laziness. My wife told me to give you inspiration, to facilitate building you back up... I have as many gamer has invested in the tercentennial and for what...... a blister on the face of gaming humanity “Fallout Seventy Crap” You should have hit the ground running with the success of Fallout 4 Awesome. If Fallout 5 was going to take until PS5, people would have waited, and that’s what you don’t get... gamers will wait, if the game or brand is good enough. Instead... you deliver a un finished travesty. The fact that it does not offer the game play or experience by which it was advertised. No you are in no way shape or form in the position of No Mans Sky, but you have pushed so many gamers away by producing such poop. Who ever pointed the direction of Fallout Seventy Crap to go in “Sack them”, Their vision was blurred by their own vanity believing they were more than what they are. Should have stayed true to a single player game than to go multi player and suffer the slings and arrows of such degradation.

This will be the last dime Bethesda gets form me. So long old friend. It was fun while it lasted until you decided to squeeze $60 from me for an unready and poorly designed game.

    When you combine all those issues with no NPCs and a multi-player aspect that is poorly executed, it just doesn't feel great. When fixes come in, they may warrant a score adjustment.    … Expand

    Ugly, dated graphics. Boring, mindless grind play. I want my money back. A stark disappointing contrast to other amazing releases this year. This game has killed faith in Bethesda. If the next Elder Scrolls uses the same game engine, will not be buying.

    They took the worst parts of Fallout 4, bundled them, and sold them for $60 bucks.
    I will sum it up for you: There is little to no point in the game other than to collect junk (LITERALLY), scrap said junk, go find more junk, have no place to put your junk, and then kill monsters on your way to find more junk. I have no idea who in their right mind thought this was going to be enjoyable.    They took the worst parts of Fallout 4, bundled them, and sold them for $60 bucks.

    The story is mind numbing, and PVP is a joke. To top it off, you have to eat and drink every 10 minutes, ,which just turns into a chore having to deal with the terrible inventory system. I literally spend about 20% of the game in the Pip Boy Inventory screen. Who in their right-mind thought this game would be fun? Bethesda should be ashamed of themselves.    … Expand

However, a week/two weeks later it hasn't improved. Glitches are found without even trying, the base building makes you want to pull your hair out, and sometimes your base just disappears! Thanks to these glitches that Bethesda has no urgency to patch. However they are adding items to the atom shop regularly, which is clearly of utmost importance to them. People are around level 200 already, carrying infinite things and dropping nukes left and right, which also makes the entire server lag. The game is pointless when it's that easy, which it is. A company like Bethesda shouldn't be able to get away with this mess. They simply don't care and it's very obvious. After 40 hours, I just can't force myself to enjoy it anymore. As a fan I feel like I've been betrayed, and it does not feel good.… Expand

    The worst game of the year and the worst Fallout game ever. I don't know how it looks on PC, but on PS4 it looks terrible. Outdated engine, the absence of NPC and plot - this is not a Fallout, this is not a game. I hope that Todd Howard will stop making new Fallout and sell game rights to CD Project Red. This is the own way to save this series.

We were killed by invisible enemies. There is nothing redeeming in this crapshoot. I wish I could get my money back.

    Yes, it has a huge map and crafting is back with more options and the gameplay loop is still passable as "somewhat fun", but we've lost NPCs, engaging story quests, most of the narrative, not to mention the trainwreck that's the SPECIAL system right now and at the end of the day, this game is a huge sandbox that, in all its vastness, ultimately feels empty. Bethesda has removed a lot of things compared to FO4, but forgot that if you take away from the game, you're supposed to put something in instead.

    Additionally, we still have the same friggin problems we had with FO4, but this time, modders won't be able to fix these for at least a year. No FOV slider, FPS lock on PC, weird glitches, objects and enemies stuck in the terrain, MY CHARACTER stuck in the terrain, missin push-to-talk option, disappearing and t-posing enemies... the list just goes on and on...

    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

    My once beloved company Bethesda finally broke down and released this Micro-transaction cash-grab of a "service". The amount of issues regarding the Power Armor Edition, the thousands of bugs, the old and broken Creation Engine, Oh my god.

    Bethesda used Fallout 76 to get their producers to pay for more studios it seems.

    Giving this game a 0 because Bethesda ruined this and charged full price for a budget pos game. They reused assets from other games we've already bought and paid for so why bother charging us for this garbage. This should have been free to play and they should have released it in beta and fixed everything before they ever charged for anything. I have lost all respect for this company.

    This is a world that is completely empty and dead, and not in the atmospheric way.

Bafflingly, the promise of: "There are no NPC's in this game," was seen as a positive in some peoples' eyes, because it just made a world with interesting ideas and basic art assets one of the least Fun and most Boring games ever made.

    There's simply nothing to engage you with - battles are either annoying and overlong hassles, or exploits of terrible AI, what very few interesting story bits that exist are separated by hours of joyless exploration, grinding takes way, way too long (thanks to a patch), the audio is sparse to the point where it sounds like an Alpha build before the sound design was performed and implemented, and visually this game is surprisingly ugly. This isn't because of the Ruined elements - every Fallout game before this, as well as other games involving Ruins, from Metro 2033 to Final Fantasy X, all look miles better than this. This only compounds the survival hassle that is a nice enough idea, but only adds needless busywork to what should be fun. Oh, and the Missions just suddenly appear as if the Starship Enterprise beamed down a to-do list for you.

    This does not bring me pleasure as I've greatly enjoyed most Bethesda games, but those were great because the worlds were grand and interesting, as well as nice looking from both technological and artistic standpoints. But those were also because world-building was a strong factor, so even if you came across a character that was poorly written or poorly acted, you would still keep your level of immersion; it's the same reason why immersion was maintained despite graphical glitches as well. But here, there is literally nothing to distract you from such problems, as the problems, when they come up, are the ONLY things that you are presented with. There is no living, breathing world to think about to allow you to overlook these issues, nor anything fun to do that you can concentrate on either. Monster animations suddenly going odd were fine in Oblivion, for example, because you were engaged in the combat, but the combat here feels more like Metal Gear Survive than the Post-Morrowind games that Bethesda has made over the past decade.

    The reason I don't just give this a 1 is really because this game feels like a legitimately decent game that was simply released in pre-Alpha. This isn't like Metal Gear Survive; there's actual legitimate value here that's simply hidden by a lack of functional design. I can't deny, Oblivion or Skyrim might've been boring as well if you took all of the NPCs out and removed all of the graphical fixes made in the last 6 months of development. But the world is pretty well designed, like I said the story elements that exist aren't bad, and the gameplay works from a basic blueprint; it just feels like they had to abandon a project about 40% of the way through, and then someone released it to the public with working servers.

    But because of these problems, I don't think that this will be fixed. Like ME:Andromeda, the problem here isn't a large set of bugs, but the content itself being fundamentally either flawed, mis-designed or simply non-existent. This game doesn't require fixes, but rather a complete overhaul of the content within. I can ignore the bugs, and even the problems with release like paying $20 for a Santa in-game outfit (although that's pretty disgraceful), but this game is essentially a buggy, ugly and boring experience that has virtually nothing to offer of its own beyond constrictive gameplay and world almost completely free of content.    … Expand

I tried to go into this game with the most optimism and open mind that I could manage, despite knowing this is online only (a practice I am 100% against in this industry since as soon as you decide to turn the servers off, everyone is left with a $60 coffee coaster), yet you managed to make this dingleberry hit every sh*tstick on its way down the toilet. Outdated textures that look comparable to Morrowind in some areas (seriously, did you buy some of these enemies from the Unity Asset Store?), uninspired and boring weapons like the Pipe weapons from Fallout 4, a complete lack of story that carries the other Fallout games, lazy animations/complete lack of animations for some enemies, a nauseating V.A.T.S., and player interaction that is about as good as it was when The Elder Scrolls Online launched. I did not take this amateur hour school project back for a refund, instead I took it outside and fired 76 rounds of .40 S&W into it because I didn't want someone to see it Pre-Owned and think to try this cancer for themselves at the discounted price. Not only was the game bad, but you have also included microtransactions, false advertising on the collectors edition, made the game grindier post-patch without informing anyone, and disclosed people's credit card information. That, on top of the fact that you want to use the same engine for the new Elder Scrolls, has successfully ensured that I will never purchase another game from you ever again. Way to ruin a franchise with a great amount of potential.… Expand

To be be perfectly blunt and concise, do not buy Fallout: 76 and steer very clear from Bethesda for a few years. If you get burned by them again, please help yourself to a Darwin award.

    If you don't follow the game, I'm sure you're wondering what went wrong: was it the unplayable launch, packed with glitches and bugs from the Beta that they didn't do anything about? Perhaps you've heard of the very literal scam that Bethesda pulled with the canvas bags. The pathetic follow-up gesture by their incompetent PR teams offering some pocket-change of in-game currency? Even more impressively, customers silly enough to buy the $200 canvas bag bundle then had their personal information leaked, including home addresses. That should be enough reason to-

    Oh dear, you want more? Very well. . .

    There was the hilariously out-of-touch stream with Ninja, Justin Roiland and some random rapper filling every human on the planet's cringe quota for the next century. How about the gratuitous duplication of legendary/rare items that they can't stop? We also have the completely broken PVP system that the developers looked at each other and nodded, saying, "Yes, this is a good idea," in a completely unironic tone. There is also the constant issue of disconnections preventing you from being able to actually play the game, along with losing your camp that you built over and over. In closing-

    Really? I have to keep going?

    Yes, they're selling Pay-to-Win power-ups in the store now. (As of January 30th, bonus health). Yes, the game is recycled Fallout 4 assets and engine, with the same flaws and glitches. Yes, they sell slightly-altered armor skins for $20. Yes, Bethesda will completely destroy your character's skill build (which you pour countless hours into just to get) with random "balance" patches without offering anyway to respec. Yes, they are actually banning people people for speaking out against them, including closing their Bethesda account so that they cannot play any other Bethesda game that the victim owns. Finally, yes, they managed to correct some bugged content. . . but due to their gross negligence, brought back all of those same issues that they "fixed" in a calamitous patch. You may have originally believed that giving the game a 1/10 if too harsh. I hope this laundry list of issues proves otherwise.

    I'm honestly not sure who to blame at this point, this whole enterprise has been a disaster, thoroughly dragging the Fallout series through the mud, perhaps never to shine brightly again. My working assumption is that those corporate heads grinded their greasy palms together, twirling their rat whiskers when they saw how successful those games like Day-Z and H1Z1 were. What better way to attempt to replicate that with Fallout-76? All they had to do was make a co-op game for the series- just a simple, honest, 2-player adventure through the apocalypse.

    The real tragedy is that most people with common sense knew this game was going to be terrible at the reveal and yet the all-too-common faceless, mindless consumers that seem to always lack critical thinking still fell for it hook, line and sinker. . . a story too often told nowadays.

I mean, we get it: the worlds they typically create are huge and ridiculously complicated, so it's totally unsurprising that their new games will be more infested with bugs than a tenement apartment has cockroaches.
    3. This game, however, is a whole new level of horrific, half-baked gameplay; frankly, I can think of no other phrase than dumpster fire to describe the sheer, virtually colossal degree of jammed-up, low- frame, repetitive, bugged-out pile of flaming garbage that is Fallout 76.

    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.
