    Bethesda, I'm curious. How could you tolerate a pathetic piece of sh*t like this to wear the Fallout name in the title?

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 Outdated textures that look comparable to Morrowind in some areas (seriously, did you buy some of these enemies from the Unity Asset Store?), uninspired and boring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

(I haven't experienced anything game breaking) I've had a problem with a few of the design choices such as quest markers not properly showing where you need to go which can result in some confusion while looking for the next objective. The game stutters from time to time on my Ps4 Pro but again nothing too irritating. The main issue that has bugged me so far is the fact that textures sometimes don't load in until you are close to the environment and also when the whole areas enemies spawn all in one space and then swarm you which can be massively overwhelming if you are playing solo but I'm sure if we mention these issues to Bethesda they will fix this but we have to remember this is all new ground to them and they need our input and our support to make this the game we really want. I've found that I really enjoy the game down to its core as its more fallout and thats all I could wish for. The world to me is interesting and I don't feel like the lack of npcs is too bad and I'm a solo player. It's far from perfect but it could be one hell of a game if we help them get it right. They've shown they are listening and that's a good sign. I'll be playing the game and supporting it as long as they are and right now I'm enjoying this unique experience that I thought they would never do. Expand

I want to like it, but 10 minutes after logging in, I get slapped in the face by the lazy unfinished greedy product bethesda put out. This game is a trash fire that instead of trying to clean up, bethesda just keeps throwing more trash onto it.

    Sorry, but I got monies for this. The game is so obviously bad, that there's no reason to hide that this review is fake, because if I type about how this is good and this is perfect - people will laugh at this review and realize how fake it is. So I'll say it clearly - the game is crap, but I have no choice but to put max score for this review.

    2. Yes, we the formerly loyal fan base are used to -- and even often amused by -- the numerous bugs and glitches that have traditionally been associated with fresh Bethesda game drops. 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.
    4. To clarify where I personally am coming from, I am both a long-time fan of the series -- yes, one of those crazy people that spent hundreds of hours playing and replaying Fallout 3, Vegas, and 4 -- and am most definitely not the sort of fellow that typically complains about games on internet forums.
    5, Which is why I signed up on metacritic just to write this post. This game and -- as is becoming abundantly clear -- the company behind it has stepped so far over the line in terms of willfully screwing over their customer base that i simply felt obligated to warn off other video game fans from getting suckered into plonking down their hard earned green in exchange for a burning chunk of roadside debris.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I have gotten to level 40, so My opinion is backed by a lot of gameplay. The crafting is a good addition, i dare say an improvement over Fallout 4's. though that is pretty much the only part of the game I enjoyed.

    I fortunately did not experience constant crashing and glitching like others did, but it allows me to further look into the gameplay, which does not hold up. combat is lacking. The gunplay is bad as always, though its worsened by the fact that the starting guns are slow, weak, and awkward. Normally I would not care about the "weak" part, but seeing as how I can walk around with a board and kill most things in just 2 hits, its an issue. Enemies can of course still block your sledgehammer with knives, though it does not seem to be as bad as it is in FO4. Weapon variety is sadly lacking. It has been 10 years since FO3, I am not trying to sound like an ass, but its time for some new stuff. Aside from the black powder weapons and a tesla rifle I found it was more of the same. Also, why can we still not use a shield, or dual wield, or use a pistol or SOMETHING with our free hand when using one handed weapons? there is no reason to not use the one handed stuff unless it just happens to deal a **** ton of damage or if you can be dark souls parry king with it.

    the story is lacking. Everything coming from holotapes and computer records takes out all the engagement and interest. there are in fact NPCs in the game: but they are on dimensional robots that only exist to trade or give you fetch quests. The scorched are basically mindless zombies, but unlike those of say the walking dead, they pose little to no threat, both due to simply being weak and due to poor AI programming. (had some simply stand there and let me kill them) the only interesting enemy among the scorched are the scorch beasts. this gets to my last point

    lack of enemy variety. I was looking forward to seeing no super mutants as they do not come around until FO1, but lo and behold, we see em prowling the wastes, because " vault-tec poisoned the water" but thats ok, we should not see deathclaws very much either because at this point they are rare? nope, one can still find quite a few deathclaws around. It sums up the issue of the game itself: the game recycles so many assets and so much content from the previous games: its basically Fallout 4, but with no story, interesting characters, or anything meaningful in the world. We do have a few new enemies like the grafton monster and the windego, but they are so rare that i can hardly bring myself to count them, and because of the lack of story driven NPCs, we cannot have any new factions to spice things up. To sum it up, the game is empty and boring. And with the recent controversies surrounding the game my trust in Bethesda is decreasing. If you want to play a good Fallout game just pick up New Vegas or Fallout 3. Sure the graphics are literal **** but they have an interesting story, and memorable character, and new vegas in particular has great roleplay. &6 has none of these things. Maybe it will improve with updates, but as of now it is a failure.

You cannot simply release a game, expect users to give you a pass because "You are Bethesda, hurdur".

Fallout 3, Fallout 4, Skyrim, ESO, all released in buggy states, but was at least merited by a devoted user base that was allowed creative and technological freedom to fix and mod the game. Unfortunately, due to this being a online only and multiplayer game, it removes all aspects of user end fixes and modding. This then requires Bethesda to launch a game in a working state. Clearly, it was not. This game has several game breaking bugs, and STILL HAS THEM. Every aspect of Bethesda currently is on fire at the time of writing this review. It is beyond comprehension that a AAA developer the size of Bethesda decided "Yea, we can launch this". Bugs in the B.E.T.A. are still present in the game, if that is any indication the level of effort Bethesda put into the actual game. When updates have to add features that the game should have already had, considering it is a multiplayer game, like: FOV, Push-to-talk, 21:9 support, online only servers, no server browser. I will not be supporting this game, and any future Bethesda games until weeks after release. Congratulations Bethesda, you lost a loyal fan. I've put over 1000 collective hours in F3. I can't wait until you give Obsidian the license for FNV2. At least they can make a good RPG. Expand

    I have played around 50 hours of this game, and I can say that if you're expecting a nuanced and detailed story like previous Fallouts, you will be disappointed. Fallout 76 strips you of interesting sidequests and storylines that made previous Fallout games. There's no factions or reputation system, There are no companions or NPCs that have interesting backgrounds or stories to tell. InI have played around 50 hours of this game, and I can say that if you're expecting a nuanced and detailed story like previous Fallouts, you will be disappointed. Fallout 76 strips you of interesting sidequests and storylines that made previous Fallout games. There's no factions or reputation system, There are no companions or NPCs that have interesting backgrounds or stories to tell. In fact, I can hardly say there is a "story" with this game at all, as it just involves running quest marker to quest marker, quest marker to quest marker. The quests are given out by holotapes and voice recordings and the main protagonist just decides to follow them ad nauseam. Fallout 76 completely takes away any semblance of player choice that made Fallout such a good franchise in the first place, you can not choose who to side with to finish the main story, as you are forced to work with different "factions" that consist of only dead people and robots.

    All of this is to be expected of an online Fallout, though, right? What about the gameplay? The gunplay and shooting mechanics are serviceable, to the game's credit. I don't think there have been this many guns in a Fallout game, so you will always pick up new varieties of guns to shoot and play with, which was a big positive. You can mod the guns by scrapping old weapons and learning mod schematics, which I thought was pretty interesting. Power Armor is back as well, being as cool and tanky as ever. Scavenging for junk to build and mod your armor and weapons is time-consuming, but I thought looting and shooting was the most enjoyable part of the game. Some of the guns and armor I picked up though are locked behind level caps, such as the experimental mirv I found being only available past level 45. I know this is to balance the game's "PVP", but they mess that up terribly. The PVP system was the main thing I was looking forward to in the game, being able to snipe and kill people from long range, blow them up, etc. The PVP, however, is very underwhelming. If you attack someone, or they attack you, the damage dealt is reduced by about 90%. This "damage" is more equivalent to being hit with a pool noodle. There was one point where a level 50 came up to me, a level 10, and hit me with a super sledge around 10 times and only took off about a quarter of my health. You can literally choose to play the game without other people bothering you at all! If the person attacked fights back, however, you both do regular damage to each other. This system leads to people getting shot at, then going into their pipboy and taking all of their chems and just barrel stuffing their attacker with a shotgun. This system is unlike any I have ever seen, it just doesn't work properly. Without a properly working PVP, the game turns into a subpar shoot and loot. The game pretty much devolves down into go here, kill these guys, come back. Go there, kill these nameless enemies, come back. Though I did find myself enjoying exploring the numerous dungeons and areas, the enemies were always the same. It's just scorched, ghouls, mole miners, and super mutants, over and over again. This is unfortunate as some of the areas have super interesting backgrounds, and they're completely glossed over for just killing the same nameless enemies again and again.

    The "RPG" mechanics as Fallout is known for are minimal. Your character never seems to get any interesting skills, and most, if not all of the perk cards are things like "10% damage boost with rifles" or "Junk items weigh 25% less". Gone are the days of interesting perks that can change the way the game is played. The perk cards serve their purpose, but for the sake of "balance", any interesting builds and perks from even Fallout 4 are scrapped.

    All of this to mention that the game, technically, is similar, if not WORSE to any other Bethesda game. I had my game crash around 20(!) times in my playthrough of Fallout 76. I also had numerous occasions of bugged quest markers and glitched quests that I literally had to close my game numerous times to get the quests to actually work. The game runs like absolute crap on PS4, with frame drops and lag spikes very, very common. There were points in the game when I was in buildings in the wasteland where I was getting around 5(!) frames per second. This wasn't spikes in frames either, no. There were certain buildings where if you visited them this would be CONSISTENT until you left. Games in this state should NOT be released, especially for 60(!!!!!) dollars as a "AAA" experience.

    Fallout 76 feels like a game without identity, straddling the line between PVP and PVE, while not committing totally to one or the other. It's too scared to fully embrace the PVP, yet it relies on being multiplayer too much to have any interesting RPG elements, NPCs, Factions, or side quests. Bethesda should have just fully committed to one or the other, and not give us this mediocre "run here, shoot this" type of game.

I’ve played hundreds of hours on fallout 3, NV and Fallout 4. This is not like those, this isn’t fallout 5. What this is, is an online spin on the franchise, an awkward experiment.

This is not like those, this isn’t fallout 5. What this is, is an online spin on the franchise, an awkward experiment. I’m not big on PVP, I enjoy PVE and I don’t get much out of MMO mechanics so having them absent in this game and a PVE focus suits me perfectly.

    If like me, you’ve spent hours scouting the wastelands of past titles, looking for better gear, being drawn into locations and sidetracked by ever more tempting distractions this could be the game for you. It feels like playing fallout 4 but in a brand new large hand crafted location with new ideas and feel. The absence of NPC humans did at first cause me to miss them, the game felt initially a little soulless, but after playing for some time I feel I understand it better and the enjoyment has never let up. You are thrust into a large wasteland devoid of intelligent life, tracing the footsteps of the past, the days leading up to catastrophe, like a cartoon crow picking the bones of what used to be. The feel is something hinted st in previous fallouts but never fully focused on. I am not disputing people trashing this game, there are bugs and things that cause frustration and I have no doubt they will be fixed in time, but the game at its code I appreciate and enjoy.

    The RPG elements are light but still present, customisation through swappable perks and upping your special stats each time you level, the biggest customisation is making use of what you find. Playing this game with a friend is great fun but it’s a polarising game, my friends don’t enjoy it as much as me and therefore are more frustrated by the bugs that exist but I enjoy this solo or with them and I believe this can be enjoyed in both ways equally.

    With no hint of life beyond mindless mutants and abominations the story and quests are told though radio broadcasts, audio logs and journals found whilst rummaging and ransacking buildings and residences. The feel of heroic looter is refreshing and fun but expect a different experience to fallout 4, I actually play these games side by side depending on what o fancy and if my mates are online. Without the bugs and issues encountered I’d be rating this a 9 as a decent attempt at a PVE multiplayer fallout without just making an MMO ESO style online game with fallout theme.

    Despite the bad press and obvious backlash, there is a good game here it just takes time to understand and perhaps a particular preference of the player to enjoy the elements they have focused on. I wanted to share my opinion in case there are players like me out there.

I have been a long time Bethesda and Fallout fan, but this game might just be the worst that has yet come from Bethesda. And we now hear that Elder Scrolls VI (6) will use this same flawed engine. I will be sure to read the reviews before purchasing Elder Scrolls VI. summary: boring, buggy, lazily made, and rushed. Expand

I've played every Fallout game since the 90s, and it's the first one where they got the scavenging game loop almost perfectly right, in my opinion. The survival/equipment degradation/base building mechanics feed into scavenging and makes each run to a place of interest on the map feel worthwhile and rewarding. Respawning mobs and lack of human settlements creates a feeling of constant peril which is apt for the post-apocalypse. The map is arguably the best Bethesda ever made, with tons of places of interest, and sometimes jawdroppingly amazing vistas. I can see how this game isn't for everyone, but if you like exploration and base building, you'll love this game. Expand

    Do not support games like this one. If you do then you will support:

    - monetization everywhere in RPG games,
    - old Bugthesda games assets and mechanics re-usage. Also old bugs ;)

    There are a few negatives. I have had some minor bugs. Nothing that ruins the experience. The storage limit is entirely too small (the recent patch helps). The forest where you begin is too easy. That being said, venture to new areas and the game can get very difficult.

    I am honestly confused about the poor reviews for this game. I believe most stems from people not getting a carbon copy of the existing games. It's really great that Bethesda is willing to take risks. I can understand missing NPCs but I don't think the game suffers from this decision. Bethesda open world games have always been buggy and I have experienced less bugs than Fallout New Vegas.

    If you are a fan of the Fallout series, please try this game.

    Fallout 76 has as background stage Appalachia, a representation of West Virginia. And it's a much bigger map than Fallout 4. The sounds and chaotic, inhospitable and apocalyptic environments of Fallout have always been good and in Fallout 76 they have kept the same quality, although the graphics engine is very dated, but that's something I'll talk about later. Anyone who knows the formulaFallout 76 has as background stage Appalachia, a representation of West Virginia. And it's a much bigger map than Fallout 4. The sounds and chaotic, inhospitable and apocalyptic environments of Fallout have always been good and in Fallout 76 they have kept the same quality, although the graphics engine is very dated, but that's something I'll talk about later. Anyone who knows the formula of this series, will easily become familiar with Fallout 76. Explore locations and homes, avoid radioactive sites, shoot down enemies, etc. This is all part of DNA Fallout.

    Being a game always online, the (public) servers of the game are dedicated. It's a pity that we have to take the Player vs Player, which implies that there may be that fear because of this or that player might ruin our progress and steal our base that was built. What... isn't even a plus for Fallout 76. Luckily, when we die, we lose only rubbish and some caps (about the last, we only lose if we are defeated in a PvP confrontation). And whenever we die we have to do Respawn and pay a certain number of caps (it depends on how far we are from the place where we died) to be in X location that we have discovered. Yes, it is possible to recover the garbage that we lost, is just go to the place where we were slaughtered. Bethesda is expected to keep the promise of adding private servers in a future update to avoid clashes with other players. And of course, it's possible to invite friends or strangers to our group or join an existing group.

    Speaking of gameplay, it's almost the same as the previous Fallout and the player is still able to choose the 3rd or 1st person perspective. As it is a multiplayer game, the only thing have changed in the gameplay was the V.A.T.S. (Vault-Tec Assisted Targeting System), and if Fallout 4 allowed us to pause the game and target certain parts of the body of our enemy and see them "cinematicaly" take with our bullets, this Fallout 76 takes place in real time and this time we can only target the torso.

    In most missions we have to get to a specific location to get some recording and listen to it in our Pip Boy, pick up some object, use a certain option on the terminals or kill a specific enemy. Fallout 76 has online events to complete, which offer items and XP as a reward. For example, we have to survive several waves of enemies, and if we complete that same event, we win XP, caps, drinks and ammunition, among other things. The hability to construct bases, which was added in Fallout 4, is also present in Fallout 76. It serves to render useful the garbage we collect while exploring the map and make resources and defenses. Don't worry, in case you are out of the game, you don't lose those bases that were built because they will be engraved on your profile.

    There are temporary challenges to do and if we succeed in one of these challenges, we get atomics or a pack of perks for our S.P.E.C.I.A.L. system. And speaking of this system, each time we level up, we gain a point of experience that can be used to improve one of seven attributes: Strength, Perception, Endurance, Charisma, Intelligence, Agility or Luck. When opening a pack of cards, we gain perks such as Lead Belly (Endurance) or Iron Fist (Strength), which can be placed in our system S.P.E.C.I.A.L.. If you have repeated cards, in some perks we can merge those cards. And now, for example, if we have Lead Belly on level 3 and Endurance on level 2, the card cannot be used because it has to be equal to or worse than the level of our attribute. Atomics are used to acquire clothes, hair, skins, emotes, icons and other cosmetic things in Atomic Shop. These atomics can also be acquired through microtransactions.

    Talking about the negative aspects, Fallout 76 maintains four chronic problems of the previous entries of the series, namely graphs, Bugs, Glitches and Freezes. Fortunately, the frame rate is slightly more stable after the 1.02 update. As for the graphics, it is inadmissible that Bethesda Game Studios use the same engine already almost 10 years. Fallout 76 has a dated look. Then there are too many bugs and glitches. Even after the 1.02 update has fixed some of the abnormal situations, there is still a long way to go, because there are still too many issues in quests that prevent me from completing them. And as for freezes, whenever I want to use V.A.T.S. or Pip-Boy, there's always got to be a hiccup to annoy me a bit. It is a case to say that Bethesda was stagnant in time.

    Don't be fooled; I like the Fallout series. And Fallout 76 is packed with mysteries, places to explore, has a good atmosphere and is a fun game to play with friends. But that's not enough. The lack of private servers, the constant flaws and the super-dated graphics engine is to let the hair stand. Fallout 76 comes closer to a Multiplayer mode of Fallout 4 than a new game. And in my opinion, it is a game that isn't worth buying already, by having into count what it offers and the many problems.

    I do not want to rant anymore it really hurts. I love fallout but I think bethesda was huffing paint when they thought to ship a game, in this state.

    I lost two handmade rifles by now, due to **** programming. Once I dropped it for my friend to mod, since he had a better receiver and the paper bag with the weapon just vanished infront of my eyes, same happened with 400 steel scrap I dropped for said friend and it vanished once again. The second time I found a handmade rifle, went about my way, after couple hours of playing closed the game and boom, the next day my rifle was gone....AGAIN.
    Another thing that pisses me off quite a bit, is wtf is up with the spawn rate of junk items like military ammo bags and weapons or ammo boxes and medicine/chem boxes being empty? Every damn time I get into a new server, they never "refill" or respawn the f*cking items, it's ridiculous and when someone else grabs the **** before you get the chance to, it's all **** and gone just like that. They need to fix that **** ASAP.
    I still give this an 6/10 cause it at least is fun and still interesting to wander about discovering and looting locations with people you know. F*ck the RPG elements, Fallout 4 already had 0.

    I have been a Fallout fan since the first RPG Side-scroller - and have witnessed the Fallout franchise achieved new heights with each reiteration.

Fallout 76, however, has slumped to an all-time low. Had this game not been dubbed a part of the Fallout series, I doubt it would have made it to post-production, much less receive a 5-star review on opening day from diehard fans hellbent on buying anything Fallout related, but being much disappointed soon after. Between technical errors, such as game freezing and or crashing, to quests not beginning or progressing, to multiplayer problems, such as not being able to invite a friend into the party, or simply dropping out from a party mid-mission for no reason, to being killed by invisible foes, Fallout 76 could have used another year for production and game-testing before being released.

    The game crashes at least twice every three hours, with frozen screens, followed by a PS4 bluescreen immediately after opening the program and signing in again, black-screens that thrice have required me to manually restart the PS4 within the past week, or signing back in again to find myself 60% irradiated and or have dropped all my additional loot from dying while the game froze. Forced signing out mid-mission guarantees that the ammunition and materials used for repairs are not refunded so that I will have to grind to find more ammunition and materials in hopes that the game won't crash again.

    Despite being an entirely online experience, the multiplayer experience sucks. Trading is counterintuitive while dropping a paper bag at your feet works much better than the trading system. Multiplayer seems cool until you realize that each member of your group must pick up mission items individually and that doing so may guarantee that other people in your party, who did not pick up their holotapes, cannot continue with their missions. Players on my friend list often can't join me or even do so when we are in the same game, standing face to face, using the defunct "invite to party" option. Being dropped from a group or not being able to reassemble my four-player group after a system crash and hard reset has also been prevalent.

    Then there are in-game issues, too, with being attacked by invisible enemies that I can't target in VATS, can't see, and apparently can't shoot or hit despite being pinged to death by them. Power armor chassis can't be inspected to show the actual pieces I've attached while scrapping to gain modifications almost guarantees that none of the legendary weapons found could be additionally modded. Then there are invisible barriers, or running forward only to load ten steps behind where I had just run, or attacking rad-scorpions that have miraculously jumped on rooftops to attack my turrets, or teleport around instead of actually crawling so that I can't hit them.

    Fallout 76 has been a waste of money and time so far, and though I may play it for a few more days in hopes that Bethesda improves their game during the Christmas season... the set-up, storyline, and gameplay has fallen grossly short of their predecessors, and have soured my taste for future Fallout products.

    To me the lack of human NPC's just makes the story better and the robots are full of witty remarks and holotapes are full of great stories.

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.

Honestly the response is surprising did anyone think that this was really going to be that good? Bethesda, I feel before the release was very honest on what kind of game this was going to be. That game is a MMO light action RPG with no NPCs besides enemies, and other three letter acronyms. I am here to say while this isn’t a great Fallout game it was bug filled, and rather boring I do think people are being very hyperbolic to say the least.

    Fallout 76 has a story… or mostly a premise because the rest of the story is either text and/or audio logs that I bet most people do not care to read/listen. The premise is you are one of the first people to leave the Vault like ever and you are out there to build and explore, and figure out what happened to the Overseer. That’s is all I know about the story, the rest that I played I could not care less about it.

    The game plays like previous Fallout games, but as if a third party was trying to make one and not get sued. It was so close to what we all know and love but was just missing like all the beats that make a Fallout game fun. The level up system was this new weird card pack thing where you get cards you’re your increase attributes. Only you could only have so many cards in each slot, and are limited in choice at the beginning. I honestly was rather confused on the whole deal. Being that it is MMO light the world will have random events that’ll give you goodies if you do them. It’s nothing special at the early game stages and unfortunately, I can’t speak for end game content so I have no idea if it gets better. The online community seems very troll free, I ran into many people and never had someone try and kill me nor try and be obnoxious. Sadly, one of the biggest sins of the game is the rework of the VATS system. It is now just an auto aim real time thing. In the old version, you could target body parts and get a percentage whether you’d hit it. Now you either hit the enemy or miss. That’s it. The other pain in the ass thing is the fact you now must eat and drink to make sure your stamina doesn’t decrease. I hate survival games, 90% of them are just tedious and annoying Fallout adding this mechanic gets old quick. For those of you who are worried you can’t play single player you must now go make friends I have good news and bad news. The good news is you can play this entirely single player without it being stupid difficult. The bad news is the game is boring as hell by yourself. With friends, you could have a lot of fun screwing around the wasteland, and doing this quest. By yourself it is so quiet and lonely you might want to put on a podcast and give the illusion of people.

    Overall it isn’t the God-awful mess that people should create a giant pyre to throw all known copies into so it can’t hurt anyone else. It is just a bad game that most fans of the series won’t really enjoy. I can see this game having a following though because it isn’t unplayable it just isn’t that fun to play. I know this sucks because it is a Fallout game and we love Fallout, but hey you still have 3, 4, and New Vegas so go play those. I give this a LOW RENTAL because I still think people should try it and give their thoughts. This very well may be your thing it just isn’t mine.

    This game has proved to be a disappointment. No NPCs, forced online play, and a weak storyline make this the worst fallout game to date. As a huge fan of Fallout 3, Fallout New Vegas, and Fallout 4, I was really excited for a change from the urban wasteland environment. Now if feels like endless wandering while randomly being killed by other players.

En varias ocasiones mi PS4 me ha cerrado y sacado del juego por aparición de algún tipo de problema. El rendimiento del juego es penoso, yendo ralentizado en numerosas ocasiones y tardando varios segundos en, por ejemplo, abrir el mapa. Las texturas tardan en aparecer, sobre todo la ropa del personaje, apareciendo éste invisible. Además, al acabar con un enemigo, este tarde unos segundos en caer al suelo. Gráficamente muy inferior a Fallout 4. Se puede observar de manera descarada como este juego ha sido una copia exacta al anterior, no aportando nada nuevo. Inumerables bugs y fallos en general, como destellos y fallos en la iluminación. Elementos nativos de la saga, como el V. A. T. S., se han empeorado y empobrecido para adaptarlo al online. Encima de todo esto, posee pagos dentro del mismo. Su primer parche pesaba algo menos de 50 GB, lo que demuestra que han vendido de salida un juego inacabado y roto (pero a precio completo, eso sí). Resumiendo, Bethesda se ha reído de los jugadores, poniendo en venta un "prototipo" exactamente igual que la entrega anterior pero peor en todos los aspectos. Sin duda es una chapuza vergonzosa y lamentable. Hablando claro, basura muy cara. Expand

    Bethesda really messed this one up. This new installment in the Fallout series is an experimental one, where Bethesda tried a whole new multiplayer experience by copy-pasting 90% of Fallout 4 assets.

    Bethesda really messed this one up. This new installment in the Fallout series is an experimental one, where Bethesda tried a whole new multiplayer experience by copy-pasting 90% of Fallout 4 assets.
    I played for a little bit more than 76 hours, I've reached lvl 80 and in the process completed several innumerable quests, fought in pvp and took part of events. I really wanted to like this game because it feels so comfy just walking around the Appalachia exploring, and discovering the over 100 different locations in it but simply this game just doesn't work.

    The story. Honestly, I stopped caring about the story at some point. Listening to monologues on holotapes all the time is boring, specially when the game doesn't stop (because of it's online feature) and you're always hearing noises, enemies and random people talking on their microphones. It's just a really weird way of replacing NPC's and dialogues that doesn't work pretty well. Sometimes I would find myself venturing into a random building, hacking into terminals and reading the mails and information to learn more about the lore but most of the time I wouldn't find anything interesting. In general it just sucks that everyone is already dead when you get out of the vault.

    The enemies. Ghouls and scorched are spread everywhere so you're going to see A LOT of them and killing them gets way too repetitive after a couple of hours. The AI is way too primitive, enemies get stuck everywhere or sometimes it seems like they can't see you at all. You're gonna spend the first hours of the game admiring the flying Scorchbeasts flying above you and once you're strong enough to take one down with your friends you're in for a huge disappointment as these boss-like enemies don't drop any notable loot and they're just a waste of ammo, because trust me they usually take a lot of ammo to kill. You know when you're playing a game and after hours of farming and grinding you kill a specific enemy or boss and you feel so much pride of what you just accomplished? Well, you're not gonna get that feeling here.

    The PVP aspect. When you shoot someone first you barely deal any damage so you gotta wait until the other player shoots you back in order to begin a "duel", unless they have a bounty on them. The most fun I've had so far was finding two players (bounty on them) attacking someone else's camp and taking them both down with my .50 cal. machine gun from behind, later accepting one of the player's challenge to kill each other. The worst experience I had with pvp was getting killed by a player wielding a knife and sporting a jet pack, this guy hit me and flew onto a building rooftop, of course I couldn't follow since I don't have a jet pack yet. He eventually killed me, I came back for revenge only to realize he was glitched so no matter what weapon I used I wasn't dealing any damage. This is a common issue, by the way.

    The copy-pasting. Basically, what Bethesda did here was recycling most assets from Fallout 4, like weapons, armors, automated turrets, buildings and enemies, without providing with more content, which is what most fans expect from a new game. We have this whole new map to explore only to find the same power armors (except for the new Ultracite PA), the same guns and the same enemies from Fallout 4. Charging fans $60 for a multiplayer Fallout 4 experience complete with the same glitches it had 3 years ago is totally unacceptable. We deserved a whole new game, not a recycled one with a few add-ons.

    The collector's edition. I just want to say I'm really disappointed with this, I care very little about the bag not being canvas although Bethesda failed to delivered something that was already promised but the T-51 power armor helmet's quality is outrageous, we paid $200 for it and it has glue everywhere, it feels cheap as hell and I feel like I'm gonna break it if I touch it too much. I also own the Titanfall 2 Vanguard's Edition helmet and the quality is 100x better even thought the price was around $150 I think.

    Overall the whole game is broken, every day people find new bugs and Bethesda fails to keep up the pace fixing things. A huge disappointment.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I played it with low expectations and was kind of dissapointed when i confirmed my fears. Its graphics are basically as bad as Skyrim on release. Bethesda is known for its buggy games but its like they know that we bought the game to try it out and they have most likely made all their money back with all the effort they did copy pasting grass models and terrain models. the big picture is everybody is dead and NPC's are nonexistant as far as the millions of Mr. Hand robots are concerned. my only positive experience is that it feels enough like skyrim to say i had a nostalgia moment at the beginning and it all sunk in when i realized that the game itself is pretty empty when i play alone. its mostly not what i was hoping for. dont make promises of grand graphics and shove off the sonic 06 of fallout games at $60. not worth the price of dissapointment Expand

    The game isn't as awful as people say, however, there are many bugged quests, and personal issues would be remove or alter the stash limit, deal with the invisible enemies, and let us at least be able to sell power cores or ammo. Other than that.. still feels like a subpar fallout.

    Fallout 76 is not Fallout. It's hardly even functional. Perhaps it'd be acceptable as a free-to-play down the line. As a paid for product however, this is the worst game of 2018 by a "AAA" studio.

Then hitting a prime fissure, you get the "scorched earth" event which seems impossible on PS4 because the frame rate pretty much drops to 1 FPS.

    I'm currently playing the game to get a platinum trophy as I'm a big trophy hunter and some of the easy trophies are bugged and will not pop. The game has endless bugs and feels like an alpha rather than a beta.
    Very unrewarding experience to say the least.

    This game is definitely not suitable for hardcore gamers, if you're a casual then you might enjoy it because the content will drag out but if you're a grinder like myself then you'll have done everything in a week.

Not bad as old man Pete would say at the Last Plank in Far harbour. However, it's not the Super Mutant's that bring me out in a cold sweat, nor is it the Scorched, not even the anti-human bots, nope it's the bug's !
    Rad roaches nibbling my ankles is one thing but 'full on, boot you out of the game' Rad Bethesda bugs that always strike when you are low on ammo having got cornered by a posse of bad guys is the stuff of nightmares. You got it after painstakingly rebooting the game all you're dead enemies are... well, no longer dead - but you're ammo count definitely is.
    In order to build a decent future for yourself, you will need stuff. But you're store capacity is severely restricted, don't worry though, 'cause you have trader bots - that only have 200 caps - no matter where you shop on the map, it seems like they have a central banking plan - no cash so tough doo-doo.
    They buy for peanuts and sell for over inflated prices, the money you spend with them then suddenly disappears into the ether.
    The all singing and dancing build anywhere C.A.M.P is just a hotel for hobbo's unless you are lucky enough to find the schematics to build something from corrugated steel. You cannot build anything if so much as a beautifully rendered stone or twig is in your way, you cannot build near other buildings, you cannot build anywhere near you're team mates, you cannot build on bumpy ground, but there is little to no flat ground anywhere - the world got blowed up da!
    So anyway getting back to my level 49, T-60 Cammo power armour... I AM STUCK IN IT, I mean like totally stuck in it, I cannot therefore cook or boil water, I cannot craft anything only scrap everything. Bethesda said kill yourself!! wtf, no, not in real life. in the game dummy, but dat dont cure de problemo needa. It must have upset some other high level gamer's because they began nuking maps and then server hopping to do the same, unfortunately I was caught in the explosion on three consecutive maps, died and lost all my stuff including my house (Hobbo Hilton).
    So I started a new character and got myself up to level 24 only to be hit by a rather amorous ghoul who knocked me straight through the join in a wall - I found myself floating under the map for a moment before the game crashed again (tenth time in 48 hours) I rebooted only to find that I had lost all my stash, no little paper bag awaited me, and I just turned the game off and became a member of metacritic, this is my first post.

    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.
