    I had fun some time playing this buggy mess, together with friends.
    I was one of the dumb pre order-tricentennial version owners. Never ever would i have imagined what a S***load awaits me. I could have give the game 4 points out of ten at the start. But after the advantages trough the In game shop and now even Fallout first. I think even F2p would be pointless, because it isn't worth

I was a really big fan of Bethesda games. A real big disappointment. Not just the messy game itself but the hole policy and framework of the online Gameplay just s*cks..
    I even had to create an Account here just to show my opinion. I'm sorry for myself and every other owner.

    I had to make an account so that if anyone from Bethesda higher ups who is reading this see's they have forever lost a long time customer. And judging by some of these reviews, they have lost more than me.

    Bethesda is done. They used to be one of the best, they became the worst.
    This game is absolute dog sh*t nothing good to be found here and they raped the Fallout franchise.

    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

    I bought all the original fallout games back on the pc and all the elder scrolls games. Bethesda has become a trash company like EA caring more about micro transactions than their customers.

    DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY ON THIS BUGGY PIECE OF TRASH.

    Well done bethesda for ruining what used to be a respectable company

    Absolutely horrible. Worst pre-order i ever wasted my money on. Ark was in better shape during its Alpha days than this game ever will be with how Bethesda has “managed” it.

    I like to retry games like this every once in a while to see if i can ever get my monies worth, but I’m more likely to return to the void that is Anthem before i waste my time trying Fallout 76 yet again.

    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

    TL:DR 10/10 if you enjoy micro-transactions, extremely buggy games, or like reading novels written by a blind monkey with a pencil taped to its tail.

    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.

    If you're looking for an mmorpg look elsewhere. This game is not legit. Hardwork does not pay off and you'd be wasting your time. Everyone here just dupes and cheats on everything, and Bethesda isn't doing anything about it. Won't be long until this game dies

    It is a disgrace! I have almost 20 quests that are bugged and can't be finished. The gameplay is hell, stimpaks are not taken when I use the button, the weapon change in combat does not work since always weapons are taken that I have not selected.

    The Loot is a naughty thing! For the kill of Earl Williams (Event Boss) I got a pipe!? A "legendary" pipe!?!? Enemies can't be killed or soldered. Trading with other players rarely works.

    I could list bugs for hours but what bothers me the most is that Bethesda doesn't do anything about it. They don't care instead to spend money on Fallout 1st.

    This concept could be cool but should have just been a part of fallout 4 like GTA or Red Dead but, i'm not even sure the online could work on the 20 year old engine that it uses. This one has too many bugs, too many microtransactions, and too many exploiters

    Dopo anni da lancio continua a presentare bug clamorosi che non permettono il proseguimento del gioco.
    Munizioni quasi impossibili da trovare, il gioco è basato su farm e fino a qui va benissimo, ma al momento che continuano a sparire munizioni e item dall'inventario allora vuol dire che non ci siamo proprio.

    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.
