    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. It is only hardcore if you try make it hard by going to places such as West Tek, Sugar Grove, The Whitesprings Resort. Events such as 'Scored Earth' 'Encrypted'. You get the idea, right?

    A game that had a lot of problems at launch, but since the Wastelanders update it's a different game altogether, give it a go, many hours of fun

    Do not ever buy. Why, may you ask? Cause the hame is a glitchy, buggy mess. I am so tired of lagging when I literally turn. There is so much wrong with this game. First off, the hit registration is straight trash. My attacks will literally do no damage. What? Aren’t these bugs that should have been fixed forever?

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

    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).    … Expand

    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!?

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.    … Expand

    They said fallout 76 will be great after the wastelanders update. They said everything will be tested now and it will work this time.

    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.    … 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.    … Expand

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.

    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.
