    Its just a re-release of Fallout 4, with an online feature, no NPC's, Fast Travel you pretty much need to use all the time, and griefers. $60 to buy this... then microtransactions worth $20 to get paint for your power armor. Just paint. and just for power armor. I've already uninstalled after about 4 hours. Bethesda is not what it used to be.

    Actually, i'm a huge fan of Bethesda, and waiting like a dog for TES6 from 2011 (as before i waited for Oblivion and Morrowind) , and as we remember - Bethesda aways did TES - Fallout - TES - Fallout, and now it was a turn of TES6, but we have what we have.

    Poor performance, bad graphics, boring story, no Fov slider, 60 FPS cap.
    With a GTX 1080 ti and an i7 7700k you get in some Areas around 40 FPS. On low settings!
    The game quickly gets boring, you can't do anything else as explore and loot.

    The game is void of any life, there is nothing to do, no NPC's, there's nothing, its just one big grind, its not even an MMO, to call this an MMO it would require story and towns and NPC's to give quests, but its nothing of the sort, its a blatant insult to the fans, Get it together Bethesda.

    Fallout 76 is a lifeless, shell of a world that had most of it's assets ripped from Fallout 4. It goes out of it's way to take everything that Fallout was and throw it in the trash for the sake of appealing to a fanbase that was never there.

    Pros. The Music is good, as usual. Cons. No NPC's. No Story outside of notes, holotapes and exposition shouted at you by robots.

    Pros.
    The Music is good, as usual.

    Cons.
    No NPC's.

    No Story outside of notes, holotapes and exposition shouted at you by robots.

    Meaningless factions that lead only to busywork repeatable quests such as 'escort this robot' and 'defend this supply cache'.

    Shoehorned factions put in simply for brand recognition, despite them making no lore sense in the setting.

    PvP that doesn't exist.

    PvE that's stupidly easy, and when it's not easy you're just fighting bullet sponges.

    The dialogue system removed entirely.

    90% of the game is inhabited by these fake ghouls called 'scorched', no enemy variety at all.

    Ridiculous micro-transactions that manage to be even worse than the creation club ($3 for a virtual door for your house, $5 for some stupid hat).

    It's still on the creation engine. Which means all the bugs that existed in Fallout 4 and even as far back as MORROWIND still persist.

    You can speedhack the game just by editing a .ini file.

    There's no data encryption. Hope you're not trying to hide your IP address from some stalker.

    DO NOT reward Bethesda for this travesty of a game.    … Expand

    I don’t know why everyone is hating this game. I think that it is a fun Fallout game. I have played all the Fallouts, and I love every single one. I know that some of my friends liked the Fallout games as well but they weren’t as hyped to play them alone, so this really helps them play a Fallout game with me and other friends.

FALLOUT 76, Is the next spin-off game coming out of this franchise and a lot of people bad mouthed this game waaay before it was even released with HAte spouting from every tom, dick and harry this game had a bad rep before todd Howard stopped talking at E3.
    So skip forward a few long months as we got the beta from Bethesda if you had pre-ordered any of the version you could purchase...
    During the beta, we all saw our fair share of bugs and glitches and some of these are still present in the "finished" product, But The did drop a 50 gig update into the game before the game went live on the 14th November.
    Now let's talk about the game... If you have played Fallout 4 this game will be right up your street very much the same type of gameplay minus an immersive storyline but there is still a story of sorts which has you galavanting over the state of West Virginia,
    The gameplay and graphics are very nice as they were on fallout 4 just with a few extra bits of detail slung in to give it a bit of depth,
    The camp mode is nice but there is already talks that this will be played within the near future and aside the lack of NPC's the game still flows.
    It is a SPIN-OFF and I must state this again as its not a follow on from the original series, the game is an experiment by Bethesda not to be designed as a cash cow but to be designed as another potential idea they can play with not just for fallout but for maybe an elder scrolls title at some point as well.
    While playing the actual game as someone who reviews games with no financial backing or sponsorship which means I had to buy this game myself. I don't find myself disappointed more curious to find out what their actually gonna do with this idea and how it expands.
    Like most of you I was apprehensive at the start but the more I played and the more I read into it minus the crapload of hate that was being turned out by everyone with a youtube channel I found that the game was set to be something I may actually enjoy,
    All in all the game is what it is its a free for all "softcore survival" game with a sandbox element where u play as whatever you want to play as. the variety of enemies and "zones" in this game give it a bit more of a deep feel to where they went in the game and like iv said genuinely excited to see where this goes..
    This game isn't for everyone so if you don't like games like Ark or Conan you probably won't like this but for all Fallout fans who enjoy roaming around the land with no direction at the end of the game that's what this is like. Its like when u finished fallout 4 and u just kept exploring... its just fallout 76 that's the whole game.
    So love it or hate it fallout 76 has changed the minds of many but again it's not for everyone...

    So until the next time Peace out and enjoy your game, Whatever that is.    … Expand

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.

West Virginia is steeped in mystery, something I like to refer to as the Roanoke Syndrome (Look up Roanoke if you need a middle school refresher). The customization options are robust, and the CAMP system has been expanded upon from Fallout 4's Settlement system, though there are still some kinks to work out. The game bogs down at times, mostly when in an area with a lot of other players (events where there are more than 3 players working together tends to kill the frame rate). There are quite a few graphical bugs, but most are texture pop-in's at a distance and aren't really noticed unless you're looking for them. I've encountered one quest killing bug so far where I was stuck in a terminal, unable to even open the main menu to quit the game properly, but my progress was saved so it wasn't a critical failure.

    Overall the game has lived up to my expectations, but there are some bugs and graphical issues that need working out. Don't believe all the scores of zero, because as someone who has actually played the game, I can tell they haven't.    … Expand

    Do not believe most of these reviews. Most are an attempt to express anger that 76 is not the game they wanted it to be. It's fine to not like a game, it's another to try and bomb it because you're unhappy about what it is.

    Now the actual. The Bad: 1) Yes, there are bugs. 2) Yes, the graphics aren't top of the line 3) Yes, there are some performance issues. The Good: 1)    Do not believe most of these reviews. Most are an attempt to express anger that 76 is not the game they wanted it to be. It's fine to not like a game, it's another to try and bomb it because you're unhappy about what it is.

    Now the actual.

    The Bad:
    1) Yes, there are bugs.
    2) Yes, the graphics aren't top of the line
    3) Yes, there are some performance issues.

    The Good:
    1) Insanely fun with friends.
    2) If you enjoyed the mechanics of Fallout 4, you should love this (and I didn't play it, but I know they're largely similar)
    3) Lots to do. The lack of human NPCs is not a big deal. There are still NPCs, there are still a ton of quests and other things to do.
    4) While griefing will certainly be possible, their attempts to mitigate it are pretty good. They seem to have looked at other games griefing issues, and tried to implement similar solutions.

    I see people complaining about things like getting hungry and thirsty. My response is, they told you that would be the case. Now yes I think the rates should be slowed. But you can also get perk cards to help with that. Ultimately staying hydrated and fed is not that hard. But if you didn't want the survival aspect, you shouldn't have bought the game. It was not a secret.

    For those complaining about lack of ammo, they either completely suck at aiming or aren't looking. I have over a hundred rounds of each type of ammo even though I primarily only use one type. You find plenty. Plus you can craft it.

    For the microtransactions, again, don't buy them then. They don't impact gameplay. And they said they'd be there. I'm totally fine with cosmetic MTXs. Which is all they have. No XP boosts. No loot boxes. The most "gameplay impacting" things they sell are emotes.

    For the complaint about microphones, you can turn it off. Yes it'd be nice if that could be improved. But just turn it off and you're fine. You can also just mute individual players instead of everyone. I personally set it to team. Can't hear anyone I'm not in a team with.

    Complaining that this game is Fallout with multiplayer and you didn't want it, but still bought it (or probably didn't and are just whining about it), is ridiculous. For people like myself, I'm insanely happy the game is out. I wanted to play FO4 but didn't since it didn't have co-op. And I'm not good in games like that where I'm just running around by myself. So now me and my friends are having a blast in it.

    Yeah there are occasional frame rate hitches. But overall last night the game was solid. If you don't like the premise, don't buy it. If you do, you'll have a lot of fun in it.    … Expand

    This is not a main-series Fallout but a spin-off.
    If you like the fallout universe and don't hate survival games, this is a great game.
    The world is more colorful than ever with new enemies, never seen before. The trash collecting side of fallout has never felt more fitting and useful as in this game. I enjoy combat,crafting and looting a lot more than in any other survival game.    This is not a main-series Fallout but a spin-off.

    Now, the game still has its fair share of bugs. My current rating is a 7/10, with fixed bugs it could go up to 9/10.
    The 10/10 has to be done to counter all the 0 score rating from people that haven't even played the game...

    Some more information to correct the misinformation out there:
    "no plot" - The game has no visible human NPC but there are plenty of stories. quest (including a main quest) factions and events. The story of points of interest is often told through envirounmental design which I enjoy a lot, you can see they put a lot of effort into that. There are also robot npc to talk to and a lot of flavor notes and holo tapes.

    "Bad graphics" - IMO the game has better aesthetics than fallout 4, the world is more colorful than ever.

    "bad microtransactions" - you can get visual only clothes and paints and objects for your camp, no gameplay benefits at all.

    Now, I would have prefered New Vegas 2 as much as the next guy, but you cannot expect that this game took away from that. Bethesda has multiple teams and is very much able to work on several projects at once.    … Expand

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

    Complete lack of touch with fallout fans, playing this game has been impressively disappointing as Bethesda puts minimal effort to appeal to the masses. Fallout has lost its identity with another lore retcon, dismantling a fantastic IP created by interplay in the late 90s.

But this game is NOT Fallout 5 and should thus not be treated as such. Reading some reviews you get early on that the world feels lifeless without the humanoid NPC's. On that point i can agree but is there NPC's in Rust, The Forest or most of the base-building games out there? No. That is basically what this game is, an Open-World Exploration and Base-building Game. If you have that mindset when you start playing you will NOT be disappointed.

    The world is beautiful and besides building your base(so much fun if you are in to that kind of stuff) there is tons of location and lore to discover. The enemies feels a bit generic and all i ever encounter is lvl 1,3,5,8,10,16 ones. Maybe a better randomizer script here? Apart from that the combat feels very Fallout. I have actually been actively avoiding other players so i can enjoy the world to its fullest. But i also believe that the strength of this game will be enhanced multiplayer. Add a few factions and PvP functions with more players than the twelve that are on your server. Imagine the Enclave and Brotherhood clashing on a 20v20 base-raiding mission. Strongholds that give your faction some benefit if besieged.

    Anyhow, i see a great future for this game but rather than and multiplayer fallout game it should have been marketed as a sandbox game in Fallout setting. Indie studios release these kind of games for half the price but if the but some work in to it and listen to the players it will be worth the price in the end. Just look at No Man's Sky, if all the content you have in the game now had been there at release the response would have been totally different. I will give this game a year to perfect itself just so i don't feel ripped of my 55 Euro.    … Expand

Grieving is none-existent right now.

    People who are used to the Fallout singleplayer games might have problems with this title though. The only reason for this is, that there are no human npcs. All humans are players. If you don't embrace that it might feel "empty". Thats an illusion though. Because of people being upset about it, it might have been a bad decision by Bethesda to do it like that, but the game is amazing. A real singleplayer game done in multiplayer and its full of content. Just no babbling human skinned NPCs, but its still story rich and huge, full of stuff to do.

    Bethesda's explanation of how this "game" came to be should be evidence enough of how bad Fallout 76 is. It is the laziest of efforts and feels more like a shameless cash grab. I've played every Fallout since the days of 56k modems. Yes    "We wanted to add a multiplayer aspect to Fallout 4. We ended up adding more stuff to it and decided to release it as a separate game...

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

    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.

    The world is alive?

    While you usually have open city's to explore, now everyone is dead or left, and you can figure out why. There are ''Survivor strory's''. Those are holotapes on dead body's that if you listen too, you can figure out some easter eggs.

    For example, one guy died while being locked up in a locker. After I heard him scream for a few seconds. After that he told the guys the location of his heritage. The guys, who had no interest in the money (There is a story about that too I think) never picked it up so after listing to the holotape a couple of times I found myself a new gun and some caps.

    There are still a lot of stories hidden in terminals, holotapes or speakers and I enjoy them alot.

    I find the world to be quite nice to explore, there are a few easy areas that I'm trying to explore right now, and a few really hard ones that I haven't been able to discover.

    Bugs?
    After playing 10 hours I haven't been able to find any bugs.

    Load times?
    The game loads way faster than skyrim after entering a building and leaving it since it loads the openworld in your RAM.

    Pvp?
    It is possible, but it is hard to kill somebody if he doesn't shoot back since it is kinda ''Dual'' focused. Which I like, the game isn't about killing and greefing other players, but about exploring it. (for me atleast)

    If you really want PVP, it is also possible to get a toggle a pvp event where you're hunted by a player, but you have to hunt another player.

    Interacting with players?
    Since I can only tell you about my interactions, I will.
    I found multiple people I teamed up with, you can see them on the map, and most people are really friendly and love doing quest/hard monsters together.

    In 10 hours I had 1 lvl 5 guy that tried to kill me, which ended in a shootout between both of us.

    Micro transaction?
    There are a few microtransaction (purely cosmetics) that you can buy with points that you get from achievements (like killing 76 ghouls)

    Why I like it?
    I love roaming around, exploring new places and finding exotic weapons and new plans to build a nicer place for my own.

    Why I wrote this review?
    I was annoyed by the fact that after Bethesda announced and released a non-pvp focused, online Fallout game that had no NPC's, I found myself reading reviews that said they hated the game because:

    It was online
    It had barely any pvp
    It had no NPC's

    TLDR: The game is what they told us, and I like it! It isn't for everybody, but if you want to buy it, go check out some YouTuber that isn't biased from the start, or log onto twitch and see if anybody is streaming it. Go look for yourself :)    … Expand

    I won't forgive Bethesda for doing this to the franchise. Stop milking this cow and go back to the drawing board. The Morrowing-era engine in a $60 game in 2018 is preposterous.

    This is honestly one of the best games i have ever played. You can explore so much and run into other players who you will quickly become friends with. I love listening to all the holotapes you come across as you walk through Wv. I will say if you are anti social and need NPCs to spoon feed you lore and if you can't actually roll play in a role playing game this is not for you.

    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

    This game is an absolute bore. All you do is explore a town, listen to a bunch of audio tapes, and then kill a bunch of ghouls. Rinse and repeat over and over. No compelling story or character building at all. Fell asleep at my keyboard often. Do not recommend

    It was perfectly understood this was going to be terrible within a week of its announcement the moment the "game" was identified as being online required.

    Bethesdas history has shown that every location they have used related to Fallout they have done a terrible job of representing. It is no surprise that Bethesda's (who happens to be located in Maryland) depiction of West Virginia would be just as bad as any other media depiction of the state. It was made clear when the first glimpses of the map started to surface that showed locations from the state in complete disarray. West Virginia University in the middle of the map, The Greenbriar hotel just south of Charleston, and the most egregious of which is that Vault 76 is effectively located in Ohio relative to other WV landmarks on the map.

    That same level of attention to detail is present in every aspect of the game.

    While this is supposed to be a radioactive wasteland, the reality is the biggest nuclear threat is the size of technical bugs you will have to squash to keep it running consistently.

    The mechanical gameplay is functionally just a modified copy of Fallout 4, carbon copied complete with the same sort of technical bugs that Bethesda has made a corporation out of selling. The only difference is the nature of content in the game is structured around online multiplayer akin to Left 4 Dead with its 4 player Squad format. It also bears a strong resemblance to Overkills The Walking Dead in that format where what little narrative exposition is told in these "quests".

    The amazing thing is the decision to distill the primary gameplay of Bethesda that amounts to a janitor simulator where by your existence is little more than picking up a gigantic wasteland sandbox of useless garbage and sorting it into more manageable piles.

    In the end Fallout 76s fate is already sealed. Its online requirement means that it is being developed no differently than the ridiculous amount of online required console games out there, all of which are now available for 10$ or less because they have no long term value. Another Titanfall, Destiny, Dead by daylight, For Honor, Evolve, Ark, etc that has been the plague of this console generation.

    It is exclusively for a very specific type of person. Essentially it is filler material for the average ethlete who needs a break from COD type of top of the heap FPS shooter between the time they have already burnt through the current installments content and when the next late fall release comes out. It might keep its head above water for a while but people may play for a couple of weeks and move on to what ever the next new thing is once they burn through the majority of the content. Basically locust gamers.

    Honestly when it comes to gameplay it is nothing different than you have not already seen from Bethesda at least a half dozen times before between TES, Fallout, Dishonored and the rest of their primary titles. The only real difference being in those games there is actually a decent amount of narrative and content. This is another "Games as a service" model that asks players to buy an incomplete product on the promise that there is a schedule of content coming despite the reality that it may or may not ever materialize in enough time before the early adopters burn through the content and get bored and move on.

    So given that there is so much wrong with the model, given that there is so much wrong with the product, and given that you wont be missing out on things you have almost certainly already done dozens of times before, Save your money and help the industry by rejecting this anti consumer model.    … Expand

You don't have to engage if you don't want to. And you can go for it if you do. And unlike ESO, it seems you can play the totality of the game solo. I'm really happy about that.

    I also love the CAMP system; I enjoyed the settlement building in FO4 as well. I hope they will work on the mechanics of the CAMP system though, as it's really difficult to relocate a blueprint unless you have a minimal 1st floor foundation.

    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.
