We're entering into an age where video games take a considerable amount of time and effort to make, especially to constantly be on the cutting edge of that game design market. They wanted to try something new and it's obviously not their strong point, but they've got to learn somehow.

    I've only put 28 hours in and I've barely covered the map, I'm excited to see what else the game as to offer in the future. (Really hope this wasn't an online test run for Starfield.)

    As a fan of Fallout franchise and the new direction with which Fallout 76 goes, it's nice to see a take on a new area of the wasteland that is the USA, lore is abundant as well as enemies, and hidden troves of references, and activities.

Bugs are around but given the merge of the Creation Engine with the Quake Netcode, there still are plenty of things to be ironed out. While I cannot give it a full 10/10, Fallout 76 in my opinion deserves an 8/10 for stretching it's fingers into the melting pot of West Virginia.

    Instead of NPC's abound, we have robot traders, and robot events due to lore reasons. Many people cannot see past this because they are use to being hand-fed things to do, well Fallout 76 doesn't do that too much, it gives you more of a choice than ever before. Don't do the main story, that's fine; want to be a total wanderer, that's fine too. While not suited to all players, Fallout 76 gives a new test and trial to the wasteland.

    Many players, and reviewers have followed the hate train into the ground, and are not very constructive with their reviews, it's sad and pathetic really.

    This is an honest and informative review from someone who owns the game on PC and PS4, sinking 90 hours between the two of them.

    This game doesn't deserve the crap it's getting. It may be buggy, but it's less so than even New Vegas and 4 were on launch. I have legitimately bought two copies of this game, to play with both Ps4 and PC friends. (Even then, a good 30% of my time has been spent playing solo, which I actually prefer!) This game has immersion in spades. There is so much attention to detail and the way this game delivers environmental or holotape story to enjoy on your own terms is the ONLY way this could ever work. They are letting you enjoy the story at your own pace, when you are in the mood for it. The survival elements are light, the questing and events are worlds better than MMOs. The enemy variety HAS NEVER BEEN THIS GOOD. This game has variety in weapons/mods, even food and cosmetic clothing in spades, and on launch offers outfits that let you look how you want while wearing the best armor you can find. Just about all of these only way 0.1 pounds!

    What did we really lose? Fallout 4's dialog options were terrible! 3's honestly weren't that much better. And New Vegas was a different developer. Even though we've lost the ability to pick dialog options and the leveling system is a far cry from the original fallout, the perk system has SOOOOO much potential for easy upgrading and re-balancing with the best build potential Fallout has ever had. Fallout 76's story feels like you are picking through what remains of a post-nuclear world, and the devs have focused on what they're good at. Environmental storytelling. Every random robot NPC has so much charm and character, from story-reading nanny bots sprinkling advertisements for Robo-Co into her Hansel and Gretel story, walking advertisements showing up behind you to tell you that "YOU'VE WON," giving you anything from 100 Post world money, to pointless vouchers with random text, or junk. These are the random encounters!

    This game has a lot of factions ranging from known to brand new and very believable factions, with one of my easily favorite stories comes from the equivalent of a Comic Book Hero faction. I won't spoil anything more than keep an eye out for dead ladies in nice black dresses.

    Just, try it. Hit level 10-15, get your hands on a pump-action shotgun that reloads just the number of slugs you've used from your clip. (Looking at you New Vegas.) This game gets more and more satisfying the more you play it, with exponentially more amazing perks from the 20s, to 30s, and then 40s.

I didn't want to spend my cash on it. He bought it as an early x-mas present so I would play and I gave it another go! 1 patch later a headache of downloading and going over my internet cap, and 100 hours of gameplay later I can only say this is a masterpiece and I was so used to instant gratification and games that hold your hands of today I did not see the depth and passion that was in this game. I regret ever bashing Bethesda for this game! I have had nothing but great times and now that I know wtf I'm doing and playing with friends everyday this game is on another level and we all just didn't see it! but now I see it, I see the amazing item complexity's and crafting builds in retrospect to the amazing perk card system that allows you to swap loadouts on perks. just wish there was a way to save loadouts and swap them without doing it manually. I see the massive amounts of level depth and planning the first time I took posiden energy plant with a full squad and now every time I catch the cute easter eggs hidden in inanimate objects, graffiti, termanals, and blood scrawled notes on the corpse of dead raider joe, Yes this game is buggy as hell, Yes I have 400+ triple A titles in my steam library, but you know what. I wake up I want to play fallout 76 and discover more loot, I want to burn more, I want to be more efficient at learning great spots for those springs and gears, where the red apocalyptic fern grows and a mini-nuke down to 1.5 pounds with the bear arms perk launching 489 dps in a catastrophic mushroom cloud of death at any who dare appose me until I run out of rounds and my weapons break and I'm flailing on the ground save me save me to my team who are equally as frantic as hoards of scorched slam us from every direction while the blinding breath of the scorchbeast queen pulverizes my t60 power armor to dust! im 100 hours in and I still have not walked half the map or even stated the quest lines I'm not joking!! I did my first 5 quest tonight and they were very well done. Sure this is not a game for Tom Cruise. But this is one of the best games ive played in a long time and I really wish it had a better launch, people were way to quick to judge just like I was by some fluke I kept playing and I think its one of the best things that ever happened. Sorry for my poor grammar and the long rant of a review but I feel this game will have a spot in history as the game that surprised the world when it picks up steam in reviews again. and it will just look at ESO same story not as great a game but it fleshed out to be a really good MMO, Cheers to all you still trending the wasteland at least you know what I know, Expand

Also you can also talk to people through the game and invite them to your team and play together.

For someone like me, who prefers mostly solo play, this is great. Option abound for a more multiplayer experience and, while group play would make some things easier, so far do not seem to be explicitly required and a dedicated and skillful solo player can handle most tasks without a group.
    The biggest issue I have with this game is that it is, basically, Fallout 4. This isn't really a problem since FO4 was a fantastic game. I would have liked to see something new added though, to be honest, I can't really think of what that would be. This is also a plus, as unlike Elder Scrolls Online, there is no mistaking that FO76 is a modern Fallout game. (Full disclosure, I also enjoy TESO).
    This is a very good game and, if you enjoyed FO3, FONV, and most especially FO4, then you will enjoy this game.

    I believe in the Fallout world. I also believe Bethesda when they say this is a foundation for something to be built on. I've spent 10+ hours in the world of Fallout 76 and I'm still engaged and finding new and interesting things. I look forward to seeing how the world grows and it will be in large part to how we behave in the game, engage with one another and become a community.

    Fallout 76 is an experimental game from Bethesda hence the bad scores from people that did not get their usual singleplayer experience.

    Aside from the idiotic reviews... this game is in a bad state, Bethesda still did not release a Day 1 patch after 2 days of release as the version still remains the same as in B.E.T.A.

    What is problem according to me is toxicity of people. How much of those people reporting that its garbage are even 15 years old ? how many of them at least own the game ? Who is just spreading opinions of their favorit youtubers ? and not even play the game :) Who report bug so it could be fixed instead of flaming ? None of those who put here 0.

    I don't care I love fallout game. and I enjoy this one though I really cannot tell how this game will grove in future for endgame content and how much it will be fixed. But I really hope it will.

The isolation provided by no NPCs adds to the eerie feeling of the game. No friendly faces to wish you luck on your quest, no nice guy telling you exactly where to go and what to expect. There are bugs in the game but that is absolutely to be expected in an open world Bethesda game, and the differences between the beta and now are immense as far as my experience has gone.

    Now i know people have a right to their own opinion, to what they believe is the best game, or to make it the best game, or a great game, and i will never deny anyone their right to do so.

    But this is Fallout, this is the series that i love the most, more than any other game franchise around. It hurts to see people so hateful, so angry, so willing to throw negative reviews for such spiteful reasons. This happened for Fallout 4 as well, and fans did this for New Vegas, and for Fallout 3. Heck some did it for Fallout Tactics, even Fallout 2 being such purists.

    So where does it stop? When does this Fallout game hating end? I like the game, yes, but there are aspects that drive me crazy enough that i would have given it a zero too, yes. But you know what makes me different? Do you know why i have no love for Todd Howard or Bethesda, and how he keeps throwing out games that are not ready, or that each game tends to break some aspect of lore until it is explained and fixed, or why they choose the choices they did for a game, even if it did piss so many people off?

    I'm here to simply have fun playing Fallout, if i have fun, if i enjoy playing, I'll keep coming back, if not, then I'll come back eventually when I'm bored, but i just want to play. Not want the latest graphic engine, the best immersive NPC's, the perfect gaming experience, even the perfect match with lore, i just want to play! That i can play with other players now, cool, that they are working on patching the game, good, no game is perfect at launch, no matter how many years it is taken. I just want to play, not hear people, or see people in the case of my video feeds and channels, endlessly complain and complain and complain. Play it or don't, have fun or don't, If you cannot figure out the story, or why the only NPC's (and yes, there are NPC's) are there, it's not my place to explain it.

    So either just play, and have fun, and let those of us who do like it have fun, or just calm down, say your peace, and go, for if you cannot say anything constructive with your criticism, then do not say anything at all, cause personally, I'm tired of this toxic fan base.

    Since the trolls are out hot & heavy, I figured I should at least try to balance out the truth with my vote/review.

    For me and my friends (or Lone Wandering)? I'm loving it, and it feels like a new refreshing take on FO. But it seems from what I've read that opinions are varying greatly on this game. Some Hate hate Hate it! Some LOVE IT! and there's a lot of variance in between. My

    My experiences so far through ~2hrs of full game and ~10-12 of beta (mostly co-op with friends in beta) have been 95% good to great. Had one bad bug that kept from collecting loot/junk, but simply rebooting the game fixed it and hasn't happened since. So with close to 15 hours of gameplay I just hit lvl 15 before logging off this morning, and I've (iirc) only done the first ~2-3 mains story missions. Basically just been getting lost in the world and letting it take me where it may.

    8/10 - Would recommend if you're into Fallout!

    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.
