    Fallout 76 is a complete disgrace in my honest opinion.

    in the early days, Morrowind and oblivion had glitches and bugs that were to be expected, Fallout 3 had the exact same issue but the gameplay and story put those problems to the wayside. With the release of new vegas and then Skyrim the novelty of Bethesda was wearing thin, however, with the release of Fallout 4(a game I was genuinely excited for) the never-ending pattern of poor quality, the use of an aging engine, unbelievable persistent bugs present since oblivion days and an uninspiring story. all I can say is, thank god for mods.

    Fallout 76 is the worst game ever created by the publisher but fortunately for them, there are people who enjoy the opportunity to play fallout with friends and family. However, this does not excuse the fact that this is a "boring as **** game. NO NPC's except quest giving robots, A boring as hell story(if you can call it a story), terrible enemy encounters, sucky at best PVP and early 2000 graphics that want to make me throw up.
    It's sad when small indie game developers are doing a far better job producing quality games with a compelling story for $20-$40 and Bethesda wants $60 for a sub-par game with in-game currency and purchases. Most games like Fallout 76 are generally free-to-play with in-game purchases, the best example is always WARFRAME.

    Don't purchase this game, find a trusted reviewer and then make your decision. Don't let Bethesda off the hook for this cheap attempt at money grabbing.    … Expand

    I wish they had spent as much money on their servers as they did on the crack they where smoking when they made this game.

    This game is an unacceptably broken, creatively hollow, blatantly exploitative, and shockingly lazy execution of a fundamentally flawed concept.

    You may be able to enjoy playing Fallout 76, but Bethesda certainly do not deserve your money. Vote with your wallet, and force Bethesda to confront their own failure. DEMAND better from this venerable developer.

    It may be fun for the first few hours, if you ignore all the bugs that should have being fixed ages ago in Beta, but then it gets completly boring with hollow quests and bad gameplay.
    This is not Fallout.

    I wonder what is this game.
    Past the bug, the unsecure uncrypted game that allow anyome to know your IP, the old engine, Old graphics, screwed mechanic (like level requirement for weapon), lacking obiuos feature for a multi (like tchat or push to talk) and the nonexisting balance (play solo you will have more loot as easely). Which in all are already intolerable for a full price game in    I wonder what is this game.

Which in all are already intolerable for a full price game in 2018.

    The game itself is . . . empty.
    This is not an rpg as show the lack of npc or the (only) simple quest (go there, kill, loot, repat). You can found storie (trought note and hollodisk or terminal) but you will never be part of anything.
    This is not an FPS, as bugthesda never understand how to make shooter or the ennemi IA that goes with it.
    This is not a survival game as past the few first level you would have no difficulty regarding thirst or hunger.
    This is not an open world PVP as the mechanics are all against pvp (no loot, duel had to be accepted, etc).
    This is not a building game as the limitation won't allow you to build anything biger than a 3 stories house. and anyway you'r camp disaper when you leave server.

    So what is it? It does have the game engine of FO4, it does have the colors of FO4, but it's empty. . . Nothing to do, nothing to see, no fun. Beteshda sould have remeber that FUN is part of the definition of GAME and SUCCES.

    And i had to say it but the atom shop. . . buy usless emoticon, hat or pyjamas are overexpensiv (6$/€ for pyjamas. . . ), pass your way nothing to see.
    At least it doesn't make microtransaction P2W or unavoidable. Which is actualy the only good point of this game.

    The only good point is microtransaction. . . It say it all about how crappy this game is.    … Expand

    Went in hoping for a new experience from a well established heavy hitter in Bethesda...boy was I in for a rude awakening. A total buggy, boring, lack of effort mess. Congratulations Todd, you have become the new "Hello Games". Your only saving grace is you did'nt promise the moon and delivered a pebble. You promised **** and that's exactly what we got.

    This is probably the stupidest game I've ever heard of. So you have to pay $60 just for the game and then additional fee each month just to play the damn thing? What a retarded thing to do. This is the last time I will be purchasing a Fallout game. I've Xbox and Playstation want me to "subscribe" just to use the things I've already bought for them, then that's me turned off of gaming forever.

    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.
