    El juego se ha redimido casi por completo, lo llevo jugando desde el 10 de julio de este 2020 y me ha dado una buena experiencia de juego. Gracias Bethesda ahora sí parece un fallout.

    Right! Fallout 76 is a good game if you're a fan of the fallout series or/and you want a 'Hardcore' experience. I put hardcore in quotes because. Bethesda didn't say it was hardcore.

Secondly, the performance of the game is so terrible. I keep failing time based events because the game can’t load the fact that I’ve completed the event before the time runs out. Also another thing about Fallout 76. The team working on it only care about content and ways to make money. They don’t care about fixing their game. It’s sad how they can’t even get some of the basic stuff. It’s a pathetic excuse for an online game. It’s a shame to see a company that used to be so amazing fall so quickly. Whatever team is working on Fallout 76 should be fired and replaced, cause they can’t figure out what to do right. Expand

The does get repetitive very quickly as you run around West Virginia exploring ruins and collecting items for missions. The grinding is terrible and it don't help that they added a few Pay to Win features (Fallout 1st). However, the landscape and scenery is what I like about the base game. They have beautifully rendered West Virginia and its just something that is different for a Fallout game as real world West Virginia is not really a target unlike Washington DC or Los Angeles. Ultimately it is up to you, the gamer on whether you want to play this, or pass on it. Expand

I personally find much more appealing about a complex, systems heavy game like FO7 than a game where you feel like your just there to press a button on occasion, but many like the simple repetition. And no one is wrong about what they like.

    Felt like I had to leave a review here for someone like me, as I think some reviews and scoring are based on the game on release, and not the state of game it is today.
    Set a side at times bad framerate and stuttering, some graphical glitches and weird spawning of enemies, the game isn’t half bad at all!
    I’ve been playing for a good couple of hours and can see myself staying in this world for many more.
    I have yet to experience the game in a group, although I’ve encountered many other players in the world while exploring or visiting other players camp.
    Every player I have encountered has helped me in some way(picking me up when downed, handing me some supplies etc)
    It is basically fallout 4 in a new environment and encounters, with forced online and some survival aspects added. And as you can find a physical copy for about 10€, it is very much worth your while(and money).

    When a really atrocious frame rate is compounded with a online latency then you get a double whammy of super sucky performance. 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!?

    That being said I did enjoy the open world

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.

    It seems like they have just tested one part of the campaign. If you play as a rider you have to restart role levela sometimes, because you can't xontinue. The game is still laggy. Enemy's just spawn arround you and even if you respawn

    One if the fun parts of fallout was always to collect stuff. But in fallout 76 they still haven't figured out how to implement more storage space. You can just store 800g in your storage.
    When you want more storage place you have to pay 100€ extra per year or you can throw stuff away.
    Even when the new story is quite fun, you always feel, that this game is just a cash cow. So if hey want to sell this game to you for the full price, just don't buy it.

    I waited over a year to buy this game after reading the horrible reviews for it, figuring it would be fixed by now. NOPE. I've been playing for 2 hrs and I'm bored out of my mind. I was hoping that if it was going to be this bad, that at least it would be entertaining. It's not remotely fun to read missions from terminals and listen to them on holotapes. To top it off, you just get fetch quests from the terminals and the holotapes. The VATS is severely flawed and doesn't work 25% of the time, switching weapons is harder than it needs to be and almost impossible to do during a fight when you need to switch quickly since the game doesn't slow down, the NPCs that they finally put in the game are uninteresting, and the server has crashed twice in the small amount of time I've been playing. I didn't mind paying full price for previous Fallout games, but I paid $5 for this one and feel like I got ripped off. Won't be buying Bethesda games unless they're God tier but I seriously doubt Bethesda will be making anything like that any time soon. Used to be a customer, not anymore.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Previously been a certified ‘Bethesda fan boy’ but this game is a far cry from their previous entries. Optimisation is a term unfamiliar with the team(s) that handled this title, full of the same bugs and glitches that were prominent or actually patched in other Creation Engine entities. I find it very hard that this game was nothing less than a basic cash grab whilst they focus their main assets on the next Elder Scrolls title and their new Upcoming IP Starfield. Very, very disappointed. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. DO NOT LISTEN TO ANY REVIEW PRIOR TO APRIL 14th 2020! This is due to the free "Wastelanders" update that came out on that day. this update included new factions, new weapons, a horde of new enemies, 40 new named locations (don't quote me on that, rough estimate), new quests, with a new main questline to boot, instances (so other players can't walk into the same interior, kill everything and leave), actual meaningful descisions, Fallout NV style dialogue, and most importantly, human NPC's. It's because of this that Wastelanders has made 76 a significantly different game than what it was at launch. i first played 76 about a week after it launched. i thought it was 'okay', nothing special. with in a week i reached level 15, and i stopped playing. when i heard that wastelanders was coming i started playing again at around early march with a new character. I had a better time, but that was due to that i somewhat knew what i was supposed to do this time. i played on and off for the next month, i actually stopped myself playing because i wanted to start off wastelanders as not too OP, and level 30 seemed like a nice compromise. I ended up deciding to star over anyway at launch sooo...

    Upon release day, i was excited to see what this would bring, as i had tried my best to avoid spoilers. i started up the game when the fallout twitter account said it was live. I made a new character again, this time there was some dialogue from the Mr. Handy bots inside the vault, saying that they can't pretend its reclamation day any longer. i picked up the essential items and left the vault. When at the wayward, i was given the opportunity to help them by (It's early game story, so its technically a spoiler, but not a big one, skip to the next paragraph to avoid it) killing a gang of raiders, i made a compromise and let them live, but once i found some rare weapons. i went to the wayward and they were holding everyone hostage, so i bribed them with the legendary rifle and they tried to leave, but as they weren't hostages anymore, i shot the gang leader and the rest of the group, i got my legendary back somehow (wasn't on anyones corpse). my raider reputation fell, and dutchess just said that so long as everyone's okay. earlier i needed to find a pristine robot body for an assaultron head, but i could assign them to other types of robots too (i didn't, i found an assautron body).

    Since then it has been a mix of base game story quests and the new quests, but the old quests have had small tweaks (adds some humans, changes how you get the quest etc). as of my time of writing this, i have played for around 8-10 hours of the DLC, i'm at level 10 and it has given me just as much enjoyment as when i had first played fallout 4. my ONLY complaint is that you need to get to level 20 to continue with the main story after the wayward, but its really just a case of doing the old quests, then coming back. i Enjoy Fallout 76 now more than ever, and would definitely recommend it to anyone who might be interested.

    This game is extremely fun. Great story mode, great survival aspects and great weapon builds. This game is perfect if you love survival games, although the occasional glitches and bugs make this slide away from a 10/10 slightly.

    A total letdown and an unbelievable scar on a truly ponderous series. Completely broken shooting mechanics and the problems with this game is an affront to those who enjoyed the lore and individuality that came with creating your own survival. The so called leveling system is janky at best and in a few words the pinnacle of what broken promises really look like

    This game, has it's bugs. This is true.
    But it is still o e of the best games out there today. Bethesda is known for glitchy games, it happens, it's no reason to hate it. If you can't handle a crash or glitch once or twice a day, then you need to learn more patience. Overall still a 10/10 and I am happy to put 12+ hrs a day 3 days a week into it without any negativity.

It had so many bugs, glitches and errors that even EA would be ashamed (Many will say that this is an impossibility;-). It was maybe not even in a Beta state. Then there was not much content (NPCs, good quests, remarkable storylines etc.). They couldn't even properly fix the bugs until today. The patches often cause more problems. The last two I remember were that reloading your weapon could deactivated parts of your armour. You need to remove and re-equip you armour to fix this (Good luck during combat). The most serious bug allowed hackers to plunder your complete inventory (Don't know if they needed even a line of sight). Then there were the problems with the collectors edition (Which I don't own). There was the mold helmet issue that could cause health problems and the duffel bag fiasco. They showed a better bag in their promotional pictures than they delivered and then were caught lying. They banned a player who reported an exploit to them to get it fixed. If I remember correctly he was the guy who made the Map 76 (I have only heard of the map by hearsay). They could not stop hackers from exploiting the games (Some make other players life a living hell). Then there is Fallout first. A detestable try to tab your cash. They want 100$ per year from you for additional content for this full prized game in a still broken state. Even the Fallout first features were broken / had bugs. If by now this is not a 0/10 game than nothing qualifies for this. They have failed in every category. I even think they needed the money to avoid problems or a bankruptcy because such incompetence would made even a government official feel humiliated. Overall while you still can have some limited fun it is not something you should defend in the slightest way. If you like Fallout you should play Fallout 3 / 4 or New Vegas. You can get the Ultimate / Game of the year editions relatively cheap and they are much better. Expand

Instead of an entire open world, they should have started off with 4 player co-op. Or 8 player co-op. This would have had the game running significantly smoother, with less errors and problems. And cut down a huge amount of problems they had. And would have been much more fun for the players. I was really looking forward to playing a Fallout with friends. But having to worry about other people ruining the world, made it all the harder to play.

    The PVP combat system is a little broken. And I will admit to trolling a little bit in the game using their broken PVP combat against them. I would stand in front of players until they hit me in order to force PVP. This is a cheese way, but hey, if this is the system they gave us, then we gotta utilize it.

    The biggest downfall was the amount of people who used exploits for duplication, and got carried away, crashing the servers. Bethesda wasn't prepared to handle the amount of glitches and errors within the game. They really should have brought on a more experienced team to help them. At least for the first year of the game.

    However, I really hope they don't give up with the co-op. I hope they learn from their mistakes, and try again. Better. And perfect the next attempt at co-op.

The game released riddled with bugs and glitches that I would expect to see in a beta for most devs, but this being Bethesda, it was about par for the course. Which would have made it forgivable iif not for them announcing before hand that the game had 16 times the detail of FO4. I’m not sure where this detail is supposed to be found, but it is not in any part of the game I have explored in the last 100+ hours. Further more, the story is lifeless. I had an open mind with the holotape telling of the story and robots and the like...but the story itself simply lacked life, As usual with a Bethesda game now, combat is unimpressive as well. We move forward and see that the atomic shop now includes functional items, seemingly contrary to Bethesda’s original statements, but they conveniently only said the Atomic Shop would be cosmetics. Not that it would be cosmetics ONLY. I’m not sure that any of the player base caught that one prior to launch. Now instead of working on content that has been promised, begged for, and could save the game (NPCs), they have announced a 100$ a year paid subscription to private servers, something that was confirmed to be in the plans prior to launch, but never mentioning it being charged for, much less 100$ a year. Given the nature of mods (a core part of Bethesda games now), they are likely to be behind this steep pay wall as well. Given all of these facts, a 2/10 seems more than generous for a game that was released half baked and over priced, and remains so to this day. Expand

    Got the game for £12 in May which i thought was a decent price, regardless of the criticisms i'd heard. Stopped playing in June as I was hoping to wait for patches and updates, including the Wastelanders update, to play the game in a better finished state.

    However with the launch of Fallout 1st premium subscription, I have to conclude that actually our lives have become the latest Fallout game and we're currently living within a Vault-Tec social experiment. Surely Bethesda are now doing this **** on purpose? There's no other reason they would continually treat the people who play their games like garbage (i softened from the word 'fans' because I'm just not sure this nomenclature works anymore).

    The game had one of the most controversial launches from a AAA developer, with one of the most well-considered gaming title, with staunch, passionate players, that I can remember, and even in June 2019 I felt it best to put the game down to wait for them to do more 'recovery' on what should have launched as a fully-fledged product. Let's not forget, if a CD, DVD, App or other product, launched and was so poorly built it was unusable, we would be expecting refunds left right and centre. Stock would be pulled from stores or recalled to make appropriate fixes. Now clearly in the video game development world, it's fairly common place that games will launch less than perfect and try to fix with a Day 1 patch (erm, but why is that itself even okay???). But almost a year later, and having tried to join a session today, I received the same error regarding server access and my leveled character is still showing a 'Level 1' character on my name badge - a very small feature, one that I don't need, and one that doesn't work.

    Yet in spite of this, and a number of failings regarding making promises to limit microtransactions to cosmetic-only, I was hopeful that things would ultimately get better. Then they announced Fallout 1st. Now, i'm actually not interested in the features behind the paywall - I play alone, but online and just ignore other player characters - fine by me.

    But for £11.99 a month/£99 a year, Bethesda want to provide private(are they though?) servers, unlimited stash which allegedly plays child-catcher with your junk (...), a bunch of Atoms (to use on game advantage features...) and a few other things I've already forgotten about.

    Are we serious? Is Bethesda okay? That price is more than a Netflix subscription giving you access to thousands of hours of quality products (none of which stall, stutter, bug-out, boot you from the service). it's more than a Boomerang video game rental which would give you a new game to play every month. Hell, it's more than my PlayStation Plus annual membership which i brought for £37. These guys must be joking. If they think the subscription benefits are worth the subscription pricing, they need a new financial/marketing team.

    Ultimately - this game is a disappointment. I was hopeful and intending to play (i still will but. y'know, in umbrage) as I enjoy experiencing the Fallout worlds. But I just can't be hopeful for this game's future - unless Bethesda have access to market data or user research indicating we secretly enjoy being lied to, playing buggy games, and buying in-game items for game play advantage, that no one else is aware of - I don't see how they're going to keep, let alone increase, the player base and engagement in this game. Without doing so, I can't imagine it will be long before either something drastic changes at Bethesda, something drastically changes with the way they manage Fallout 76, or they decide it's not worth the return on investment and close access to vault 76 for good.

    A broken buggy mess that just keeps getting worse. If this game was free I still wouldn't play it. Bethesda has fallen and is just as bad as EA. RIP TES 6

    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.
