    Fallout 76 is Fallout 4 without dialogs and with new map. Boring quests. Boring events. 400 max weight at your base. A lot of bugs. Very bad interface even on PC. 1 of 10.

    Fallout 76 isn’t a masterpiece, and it isn’t really Fallout. Keeping that in mind Fallout 76 is a blast, I’ve played the whole game solo and it is one of my top five favourite games of all time. Definiently worth the money. Good job Todd

So here goes:

    Graphics/Visuals:
    With Bethesda using their own engine to power the game, we can all agree that it's nothing compared to UE4. But they still is able to take what they have and bring about a vibrant lively world that is full of wonder/mystery while being full of unknown dangers. Now certain games are able to be detailed down to a single particle or thread through the power of UE4. But the environments are still full of details that give the game a rustic and gritty feel to it that should be expected in the Fallout universe.

    Sounds/Effects:
    Previous games in the Fallout franchise have had sounds that felt a bit overplayed or too generic for my personal preference, but the sounds of gunfire in Fallout 4 and this game have become more exciting and realistic. While wearing headphones, the sound of the gunshots up close can surprise me or when I hear gunfire in the distance, it gives a great feel of immersion in the game. Other sounds such as the haunting hiss of the Scorched or the terrifying roar of the Schorchbeast can give you a feeling of terror or excitement. Some sounds in the game regarding, in example, objects moving around can sometimes be made when nothing is moving (and maybe that is a bug that is going to be fixed at some point) can sometimes throw you off, but there's still more accuracy in the sounds of the game. When you're in a building or house and you start to hear the creaking of piping in the building or floor boards give the feeling of how the setting is supposed to be; nothing more than rotting/rusting buildings that have been abandoned for decades. It makes you really feel like the place is abandoned and gives off a certain atmosphere to the setting.

    Mechanics:
    This one is going to be a beast to write. The mechanics do have the influence from Fallout 4. And in some cases that's okay. While in others, it can be a bit inconvenient. Fallout 76 brings back the mechanics for things such as moving about the world, using a weapon, and even building structures around your C.A.M.P. This game brings back some of those mechanics while expanding on them with the survival aspects, the new VATS, and many more. Using my weapons, navigating through the menus feels crisp and normal as any game should feel, but sometimes the controls can lag a little (and maybe that has to do with the connectivity/stability, but we'll get into that). At times, I would be aiming down my sights to fire at an enemy, but the game doesn't immediately respond when I release the aim button. Another mechanic that could use work, and I know everyone that has played will agree, is the C.A.M.P. inventory space. 400 may seem like a good number at first, but will become smaller and smaller the further you progress in the game. Now, I'm not saying this should be an infinite amount, but I would like to see Bethesda change this number to a higher digit say like 1,000. That seems more reasonable when you're trying to build your home in the wasteland. Plus, it allows the player to store certain items for a later time, or when they become high enough level to use it. I also feel that the vendors should not be asking so much for an item when they will only give you a small portion of caps in return. In example. I saw a missile launcher being sold for 158 caps at the vendor, but only offered me 20 caps when I sold it to the vendor robot. The missile launcher was in a better condition than what was being sold, and I felt like I was at Gamestop trying to sell a game back to them. Another mechanic is the NPC deal. While others believe this was a terrible idea, I still felt it was a good idea. Todd Howard and Bethesda both promised us a game that had every human being you meet be a real person, and they made good on that promise. At the time it was announced, everyone cheered for the idea. Where is all that excitement now? I like that everyone I meet is a real person. When I come across someone, I'm not sure whether that person is going to try to kill me, needs help with something, or just wants to trade items. And that's what this game is supposed to do is give you that bit of mystery instead of everyone outside a city is trying to kill you. And trading with players is great. Being able to decide what to sell and how much to sell it for really gives that barter feeling.

    Connectivity/Stability:
    Now I know that this game has been pretty buggy to some of you while others don't experience as many bugs. That's just how it goes with games these days. Report the bugs, and hope they get fixed. Don't let it ruin your experience. And the servers are being worked on, people. This is Bethesda's first multiplayer game, and they're doing pretty good with it. Be patient.

    Ending with this, I think the game is a lot of fun. With it's many faults, it still has many great things about it. I will still enjoy playing the game.    … Expand

I have over 80 hours in the game and I keep going back to play more, I can't get enough of it. On PS4, I think this Fallout has the least amount of glitches of all the previous games. Story line is excellent, and watching the nukes is awesome! Not sure why everyone jumped on the negative bandwagon, this game is far from being a 2.7 rated game. Anyhow, just buy the game, buy it on sale, you will not be dissapointed.… Expand

The game gets more and more fun as I keep playing it as I discover more hidden storylines, grow my base and equipment, the options for character development grow and the engagements with other human players grows. I've been playing this game with my wife and it's quite perfect as we can play FO76 both together and alone without feeling like either of us has been missing out on a single main storyline. The game is just another totally different experience from the previous single players Fallouts so it should not be ranked according to the same parameters. You can tell that years of work went into this game and frankly it seems rather rude and immature to dismiss this game without even putting a good few hours of trying it out.

    I'm a big fan of the Fallout series and yes:
    - The game is quite buggy and crashes out regularly, which IMO is bad but forgivable as it does not significanty detract from the game experience
    - The lack of human/non hostile NPCs did disappoint me at first, as one of the most enjoyable parts of the Fallout series were the fascinating characters and societies.

    What at first I missed myself and most of the negative reviewers also missed is that:
    - the world is absolutely huge and has so much variety and hidden storylines. Despite the lack of human NPCs, there are many great robot run places which add a lot of flavour.
    - the variety of guns and armour has been decisively increased
    - the search and manufacturing of junk goods becomes a quite rewarding ingredient in the "survival" theme
    - the teamplay (when possible) is actually a lot of fun and taking down big enemies accompanied by other players is really satisfying
    - the camp building is pretty awesome as it requires some effort being put in it to search for plans and levelling up to increase budget. You can also build your base pretty much anywhere which allows for some very cool views.

    So, anyone looking to buy Fallout 76 I would strongly recommend. To those who have bought it and are disappointed so far I say, give it a proper try and add in-world friends, it gets better and better as you play it.    … Expand

    People have been ripping this game to shreds, and it is probably deserved to be honest. But I really don't think this game deserves anything below a 5.

Also there's no NPCs, and that really sucks. It makes the game feel very lifeless, players just can not take the place of a cast of actual characters. Also the quests that are in place are some the worst I have had to endure. So far it has been nothing but fetch quests with absolutely no excitement and lots of backtracking. The good: The multiplayer is very fun. Say what you will but playing this game with my friends has been the best part of it. The multiplayer makes the game for me if it wasn't there it would be garbage. Also the leveling system is pretty good. The card system for perks works rather well and it is a good idea to plan your build ahead. The game is also very visually pleasing, the environments and enemies are quite varied and it is very fun to explore the world. Overall I can see why someone would hate this game, especially, while playing it solo. But with a group of friends just raveling around and finding things is very very fun and worth the buy I would say.… Expand

    Empty, yet full. These 3 words have echoed in all fallout games, and this does not stop in 76. The combat system uses a refined version of fallout 4s, Absence of npcs forces the game to make intuitive decisions when making quests, keeping the game fresh and new.and the endless amount of lore keeps the player constantly engaged.

    I've been unable to tear myself away from Fallout 76 since I started playing on release date.
    I have been playing with mostly semi-auto rifles and shotguns. Probably about 50 hours played.

    There's simply so much to do, and it plays like a higher quality version of Fallout 4, but with random interactions with real people that often make for hilarious events. The quests are pretty fun, some more than others. I think the daily missions are a great way to break away from exploration or questing if you want immediate, intense gun fighting and action. I only see these expanding and increasing as Bethesda updates the game.

    The questing is pretty standard, and comparing it to something like Destiny 2, the Fallout narratives are much more enthralling, and the Overseer in this game is a compelling and likable character. The balance of her decisions feels authentic, and I feel the writers did a great job on the main story line in particular. The side quests and random daily events are a lot of fun, and there's probably about ~40 of them so i haven't repeated any, except for a few really challenging and fun ones (Defecding the BoS fort from Scorch Beasts). Overall, the removal of human NPC's has had somewhat a positive effect as I hated the chat functions of fallout 4. In 76, the narrative progresses as you play over holotapes, and I think this makes for more of an action oriented game, with less breaks from playing to sit and talk to sometimes boring characters. The robots are also somewhat funny, especially the police bots in Watoga.

    The combat is a mix of low level trash mobs that are pretty easy to clear, to more mid level mobs that can quickly swarm you, to the scorch beasts, which are a challenge. I think there can be some AI improvements on the scorched and super mutants to make them more of a challenge, as they seem pretty easy, whereas scorch beasts are extremely hard especially in groups. If more than 1 scorch beast attacks you, be prepared to pop 10+ stims and run away just to survive. I'd like to see some middle tier enemies between scorch/mutants and scorch beasts.

    The new VATS system is perfect for a real-time multiplayer game. I cant think of any other way they could have done it, and for really fast moving, small enemies, it takes the hassle out of playing.

    I really have enjoyed the interactions with other players. Multiplayer has mostly been co-op, but there is a PvP radio station that when you tune in, makes it more full-on PvP without the "first to fire" system.

    There are small issues here and there, such a visual bugs, etc, but this is such a massive game with so much going on, I have been shocked by how high quality every inch of this game is, from the physics to the textures, etc. Nothing game breaking at all.

    The multiplayer is a great addition to what is an awesome stand-alone Fallout game. Being able to jump into activities with friends when they're on is great. Being able to play on your own or with randoms when your friends are not online is also great.

    The crafting and unlock system really gives the player a feeling of progression, having to scrap many different similar weapons to really build a full crafting recipe library.
    The weapon choices are great, and I am loving the lever-action rifles!

    Overall, this is just about everything I want in a MP Fallout game, and I'm excited to see what new features and content they add. I would like a match-based PvP system, I think that would be cool.    … Expand

    I've enjoyed multiple Fallout games in the past. Fallout 76 scratches the post-apocalyptic survival itch for me. i was excited about the game from the moment they announced it, because retro-futuristic apocalyptic storytelling is my favorite genre.

    i was worried about initial reviews. The general consensus seems to be that Bethesda may have tied a noose around my favorite series, but    I've enjoyed multiple Fallout games in the past. Fallout 76 scratches the post-apocalyptic survival itch for me. i was excited about the game from the moment they announced it, because retro-futuristic apocalyptic storytelling is my favorite genre.

    i was worried about initial reviews. The general consensus seems to be that Bethesda may have tied a noose around my favorite series, but Fallout 76 is absolutely worth your time. The story alone is worth your time. The parallels they tie between current political issues and the historic issues in the Fallout universe are bone chilling. Don't rush through it; immerse yourself in the story. Every note between family, every political flier, and every protest sign is a stroke of paint creating a portrait of a land dragged down by corporate greed. The restless masses were so close to the point of boiling over that even years later their anger is evident. War would have come to Appalachia even if the bombs never fell.

    Beta/Servers
    i skipped the beta, because i wanted to start on release day. Luckily, i missed the initial server issues due to waiting for it to arrive in the mail. I've only been disconnected 3 times in my entire playtime (20-30 hours i think). You hook onto servers extremely fast.

    Graphics/Gameplay
    I'm playing on PS4. I get lag when i am crafting, but other than that I haven't had any major lag issues. I've had 2 or 3 teleporting enemies (mostly the scorched). Some reviewers say that the scorched are messed up because they act weird, but you learn from the story that they are supposed to act like that. I've been generally lucky with glitches, as I haven't experienced anything game breaking. I have experienced funny little glitches that gave me a good laugh, but nothing irritating.

    Building/Camps
    i love building and Fallout 76 has somewhat improved upon Fallout 4's system. Building elements snap easier, but you still have to trick things into place every once in a while. i like having to buy building plans because it makes me appreciate every plan i find and REALLY appreciate a plan i shell out caps for. Unfortunately, don't get too attached to a camp because in all likelihood it will go away. if your camp exists where another player has already built their camp then your camp will get stored upon entering that server. It is currently extremely difficult to place the camp blueprint that you receive when your camp is stored. I've never lost any materials when my camp was stored, so rebuilding wasn't that bad for me.

    Perks
    i love the perk system. I am a hoarder, so I took a ton of weight reduction perks. I can carry MOUNTAINS of junk. i then bundle that junk and sell it to vendors everyday for caps so i can buy plans and fast travel. The perk system feels similar enough to the old leveling method so it wasn't too difficult to learn, but it also makes me feel more involved in directing my character's growth.

    Multiplayer
    Even griefers really make the universe. I got my butt handed to me by a team of people preying on other players. Honestly, it was the most authentic raider scenario I've ever had in a post-apocalyptic game. NPCs just can't get on the same level of craziness as flesh and blood human beings. You only lose junk on death, so I got the unique experience, but didn't lose a whole lot from it. There are issues here though. if you do kill your attacker the revenge system can make it difficult to get away from them especially if they are on a team (i believe they can fast travel to team members). I think that if they attack you then they shouldn't get the option for revenge. I've also had some endearing interactions with other players. It's nice to walk by and hear another player humming along with the radio. Just like in real life, there are good and bad people out there.

    NPCs
    There are NPCs everywhere in the game. I can't for the life of me figure out why people keep saying there are no NPCs. There are no human NPCs, but quirky non-human NPCs are everywhere. The lack of people really makes the pain in the story stick. I don't want to get into why there are no people, because i don't want to spoil the story. But i will say that this story would not be even a fraction as powerful if there were people present.

    Story
    Multiple reviews have said that there is a severe lack of story or that the lack of NPCs makes the story weak. Well, the only way that you are lacking a story is if you actively ignore it. I get excited every time I see a piece of paper sitting on a desk because it's another glimpse into a world lost to me.

    Overall, I'm scoring Fallout 76 high, because the game can absolutely stand on its own. It isn't perfect. i came at it as a critic of this genre and I am thoroughly enjoying it. i like the story much MUCH more than Fallout 4. it lets you wander at your own pace and really live in the world without being chained to story characters.    … Expand

    Frame rate issues and bugs. Obviously these so called gamers haven't played a game by Bethesda before. FO3, FO:NV, ES:Oblivion and Skyrim had these issues and still maintained an average of 8 out of 10. So you sort of knew what you're gonna get.

    So my advice, if you are into an immersive single player experience I will wait for a price drop or stick to GoW and RDR 2. If you can find 4 buddies to play with then grab this game, you will have a blast. I found some of the glitches and bugs to be pretty funny and there's the not funny game crashes broken quest type. But I'm pretty sure they will iron out these issues in the near future. Just remember that this is the first MMO for Fallout and there will be issues. If you want to be safe, you can wait for the ultimate edition next year.

    But FFS lay off the review bombing and keep it real fellow gamers. I'm out. Peace!

    I was right, the game itself is gorgeous in the environment, I like the design I do not accept that in 2018 the texture quality is still years old but ok, let´s hope for a future HR texture free update eh Betty?:)

    I think that the main problem with this title is that maybe Bethesda didn´t realize the main problem of most MMO are the players, you cannot give birth to a so stupid pvp system to face the PK phenomenon, would have been way better to leave the PvP system free but , through an easy faction related system and a time forward related patch system ( yes I know.. system system) everything would have been fitted perfectly.

    Seems like Bethesda is still beta testing this game, with our money on the table of course. Of course, the programmers will take ideas from our Reviews and in the coming month this game will be worth 60 dollars or euros and will be a v good game like Eso, but 4 things need to happen.

    1. Quest NPC and Faction System with CHOICES!
    2. Faction related PVP.
    3. Hi-Res texture activable from the options for everyone.
    4. Private games! I wanted this to be a coop experience with my friends!!

    In conclusion, my 2 days (with a lot of eating and beer )gameplay sensation can be resumed in an experience similar to when you are near to reach the orgasm and your wife stop because she needs to watch the new season of Sex and the City.

    It hurts Todd! do you understand?

    Live long and prosper

    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

    This game is great! Bugs? Yes. System quirks? Sure. A new way for an old thing? Yes, absolutely; but it IS great.

On its merits, and allowing for a bit of running-in, Fallout 76 is objectively a great game. Buy it, contribute to it, and enjoy it. Don't let the loud, simple opinions of the Basics discourage you.… Expand

    I feel there is a lot of hate and judgement before really understanding the game. I'm about 20-25 hours in now.

    Many games hand hold you into the world, usher you in with a story, and casually present stuff to you as a tour guide showing you each little element of the game and all the stuff to do and be done.

    This game doesn't have a tour guide and I feel Bethesda might've been received better if there was hand holding. What it does is, gives you general quest guides to let you find and figure it out on your own. All the thing you find to do, you'll find through exploration and discovering it yourself. Even hidden mechanics to discover.

    There is a ton of things to do. Its just a matter of exploring and discovering the world.

    The complaint about the lack of NPC's.. I get it, i agree it is missing some of that NPC color in lieu of having any other human being the colorful real life people you interact with. So far this hasn't been much of a negative. I do miss the NPC color, even Preston Garvey, but the genuinely decent community of people I've encounter have made up for it.

    Overall, this game is phenomenal, but its not a guided tour. They're plopping you down in an arcade, you just have to go out and find what you want play and have fun with it.    … Expand

    I honestly don't understand the hate for this game.

    It's almost exactly the online fallout experience I wanted it to be. Imagine playing fallout 4 in co op. If that appeals to you and you have reliable people to play with, you will love this game.

    I love Fallout 76. I definitely rank it higher than Fallout 4. They are really trying with this game, and it is a blast to play with friends if you go raid a bunch of places. PvP is fun and enjoyable but can get annoying. The AI is sometimes brain dead. The gun play feels satisfying and comfortable, and sometimes intense. The base building aspect is really nice, and can be very beneficial.I love Fallout 76. I definitely rank it higher than Fallout 4.

The game does a great job at doing its job, making you feel lonely until you run into someone. It's a decent survival game, and a decentish RPG. It has bugs Bethesda needs to work out, but all around the game is very enjoyable.… Expand

    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.
