    It is embarrassing that Bethesda is releasing this buggy unfinished game, and has the audacity to charge $60 for it, while filling it with microtransactions.

    The game is essentially unplayable. I wouldn't recommend his game to anyone, unless you're a hardcore Bethesda fan and just needed to buy this game. I get it. I'm a COD fan boy and I even bought Advanced Warfare. But even I knew not to buy Infinite Warfare (which is what this game is the equivalent to).

    The worst game made by Betnesda. After Fallout 4, I thought it couldn’t get any worse, but I was wrong ... This is one of the worst AAA games I've played. It seems that this is an indie game made by a group of 5 people ...

    Fallout 76 has more bugs than AC: Unity and Batman Arkham Knight combined. I Can't believe they have the audacity to release a game like this.

Bethesda has created a game that is neither a survival game, a role playing game, or an effective FPS. This game is an amalgamation of all the things it strives to be, yet it fails at identifying as any of them. It does not represent a true survival game out of fear that it would alienate players, it does not show its strength as a role playing game because it has no NPCs and your role playing is limited. Which is odd right? You'd think for a game that is marketed as an online RPG it would have role playing elements, but how can you even role play if you have to consent to be a raider? Last time I checked, raiders don't have to ask for consent to shoot and kill you. The shooting mechanics are about has clunky as they could be. Instead of striving to make things fair and balanced in PVP, they just made something that is clunky and painful to play, and doesn't attract FPS players at all. At least other survival games know they have to rely on PVP mechanics, DayZ's was more fluid and balanced than this game.

    Fallout 76 was an ambitious project that strives to hit every niche, yet suffers horribly from an identify crisis and fails to even hit one of them. It does not appeal to my love for survival games because it fails at being one, it doesn't appeal to my love of role playing because I can't even role play as the one thing I'd want to be, and it doesn't appeal to my love for shooting games because it's clunky and horribly balanced. This game is an abomination.

    Bethesda, listen to your consumers and stop acting like fools, it doesn't "just work" any more. Hopefully this game's reception will be enough of an eye opener.    … Expand

    There are too many bugs and gliches . The game is literally unplayable in the current state.
    Bethesda has to fix the game and REMOVE the STASH limit as soon as possible or the game will remain a 0/10. I'm a big fan of fallout games and it makes me sad to leave such a review.

    Hands down the most insulting piece of garbage I have ever seen. I used to love Bethesda but they have betrayed me. Instead of making good games they focus on being as lazy and doing as little work as possible, and throwing in the atomic shop to make as much money off this cheap piece of crap as they can. I hope this game and all of Bethesda burns in a hell fire

    Fallout 4 already had bad gameplay and this is literally the same thing, except with a worse version of vats which was the only good thing about the gameplay in fallout 4 to begin with.

    The game, at its very core, is a boring slog of inane missions which are there as an extremely dull distraction from an empty and lackluster world. If the premise of the "game" you are attempting to sell relies primarily playing with friends, then the game needs to provide an interesting environment in which these experiences can happen in. This game utterly fails at that.

    Fallout 76 is an absolutely soulless game, an endless void of uninspired grinding. I spent a lot of time trying to figure out why it's such an absolute chore to play, I went into it optimistically, I was honestly hoping for a good time.

I spent a lot of time trying to figure out why it's such an absolute chore to play, I went into it optimistically, I was honestly hoping for a good time. I've sunk a ridiculous amount of hours into the fallout and Elder Scrolls series and I've enjoyed them a lot despite their flaws but 76 just stands apart, it's the black sheep of the series, the really boring black sheep. The main story is pathetic. Fallout 76 is the story of an insane man chasing quest markers around a map while pointless audio logs play in the background. You do not have any goals or direction, there are no characters to get you engaged or immersed in the game, just an endless series of quest markers to follow around. Saying the story is half-assed would be an overstatement, it's closer to no assed. The world is actually quite beautiful, the environments look really great and contain many different visually distinct areas, it's just too bad there's nothing in this world worth finding. There is literally no challenge in this game at all. Almost every enemy takes one or two shots to kill, while the player seems to be built like a tank. The power armor in this game works similar to the the star powerup in Super Mario Bros, you never die... At first I thought this was just because I was in a low-level area, but I ended up running into an enemy that was nearly double my level at one point and he was basically no threat whatsoever, I just back pedaled down the road and shot him in the face a few times. This game's difficulty feels like I'm playing fallout 4 on the "game journalist" difficulty. It is mind-numbingly boring and as a result of that I quickly started using fast travel whenever I possibly could to avoid fighting endless waves of impotent enemies. Let's talk about the loot, which is basically the only reason to play the game. There's no story and the enemies suck, so the loot has to be good right? This was the moment of revelation for me, this was the point that I figured it out, fallout 76 is not a Fallout game, it's a F-ing MMO. The core gameplay is there, it's a shooting game where you collect loot and level up, but all the joy of playing a Fallout game is just absent. There are no cool characters to meet, there are no interesting areas to explore I would go as far to say there really are no quests. Every area is just go here, kill dudes, pick up loot and return. And is the loot even worth anything? No of course not, MMOs are designed to waste your time, so you'll find 500000 pipe pistols that are all worth one cap. Thank You Todd. Let's talk about the cash shop. I don't really need to say anything about this. There is a cashshop and everyone knows cashshops are cancer. The leveling completely sucks, I have no idea how they F-ed this up so bad. The leveling up in Skyrim and fallout 4 was awesome, there were so many good perks to choose from and every level made you feel tangibly stronger. But leveling up in fallout 76 is pretty bland, the game randomizes the perks you can choose from and most of them are really anemic. I honestly couldn't tell much of a difference between my character when I was level one versus when I was level 20. It felt more or less the same. And because of the randomness, there's basically no chance that you can specialise towards a specific kind of build, you're just sort of stuck with whatever they give you. I imagine that after a few hundred hours of playtime you might be able to collect all the different perks, but there is no way I'm gonna suffer through to that point. This game handicaps itself by being so pathetically easy, why would you ever bother to team up with someone who's going to take half of your loot if you can play just as effectively solo. it's completely pointless. And even if you are brain-dead enough to actually need help with a quest good luck finding another player who has the exact same quest, is a similar level and actually wants to team up with you. You are probably more likely to win the lottery, so the co-op is totally pointless. The PvP is not only also pointless but it's also fundamentally broken. The way the PvP works is that when you shoot a player it sends a duel request and does a tiny amount of damage to that player, then if that player shoots back at you it starts a duel and then you both do full damage to each other. The problem here is that the person who sends the duel request by shooting first will always lose because the way you initiate the duel is by shooting back, meaning that if someone shoots you, you can just walk straight up to them, go into your inventory, put on your power armor, pop a psycho, get out your strongest shotgun and then just vats in on their head and get a critical and you'll kill them in one hit. You win the duel there's nothing they can do to stop you from doing this because they cannot damage you until you shoot back. it's just the most broken system.… Expand

It's just an inescapable fact in a world wide nuclear war Everything would be dead, sure a few animals and humans might survive but the life they would live in that world would look nothing like fallout 76 implies until at least 400- 500 years after the fact if at all.

    Fallout 76 is a lazy cash grab by Bethesda. This game is terribly broken by the bugs that make questing impossible at times. Furthermore, the performance on PC is absolutely atrocious. PVP is a joke! I am shocked that they incorporated this into the game because it is probably one of the least polished pvp experiences I have ever had in gaming.

    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.
