    I can’t believe a single person would give this game a 10, except maybe employees who are paid to do so. The game is completely broke, unfinished mess.

It has no storyline, it has a severe identity crisis, the pvp is awful and completely pointless. I understand this is their first attempt at an online game, but the complete lack of effort shows. This game is so bad it will make me rethink purchasing another Besthesda game. From X fanboy.… Expand

    This game is by far the worst online/shooter ever. So much lag on ps4 it is unplayable, pvp system is broken so players can exploit and steal your progress. The pve is broken since what quests actually work as intended? There is no point in fixing this game so they wont.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I played it with low expectations and was kind of dissapointed when i confirmed my fears. Its graphics are basically as bad as Skyrim on release. Bethesda is known for its buggy games but its like they know that we bought the game to try it out and they have most likely made all their money back with all the effort they did copy pasting grass models and terrain models. the big picture is everybody is dead and NPC's are nonexistant as far as the millions of Mr. Hand robots are concerned. my only positive experience is that it feels enough like skyrim to say i had a nostalgia moment at the beginning and it all sunk in when i realized that the game itself is pretty empty when i play alone. its mostly not what i was hoping for. dont make promises of grand graphics and shove off the sonic 06 of fallout games at $60. not worth the price of dissapointment… Expand

En varias ocasiones mi PS4 me ha cerrado y sacado del juego por aparición de algún tipo de problema. El rendimiento del juego es penoso, yendo ralentizado en numerosas ocasiones y tardando varios segundos en, por ejemplo, abrir el mapa. Las texturas tardan en aparecer, sobre todo la ropa del personaje, apareciendo éste invisible. Además, al acabar con un enemigo, este tarde unos segundos en caer al suelo. Gráficamente muy inferior a Fallout 4. Se puede observar de manera descarada como este juego ha sido una copia exacta al anterior, no aportando nada nuevo. Inumerables bugs y fallos en general, como destellos y fallos en la iluminación. Elementos nativos de la saga, como el V. A. T. S., se han empeorado y empobrecido para adaptarlo al online. Encima de todo esto, posee pagos dentro del mismo. Su primer parche pesaba algo menos de 50 GB, lo que demuestra que han vendido de salida un juego inacabado y roto (pero a precio completo, eso sí). Resumiendo, Bethesda se ha reído de los jugadores, poniendo en venta un "prototipo" exactamente igual que la entrega anterior pero peor en todos los aspectos. Sin duda es una chapuza vergonzosa y lamentable. Hablando claro, basura muy cara.… Expand

    After years of waiting, I was so eager to play Fallout 76 when the day came. Now I am eager to fill the gap that Fallout 76 was supposed to fill.

However, a week/two weeks later it hasn't improved. Glitches are found without even trying, the base building makes you want to pull your hair out, and sometimes your base just disappears! Thanks to these glitches that Bethesda has no urgency to patch. However they are adding items to the atom shop regularly, which is clearly of utmost importance to them. People are around level 200 already, carrying infinite things and dropping nukes left and right, which also makes the entire server lag. The game is pointless when it's that easy, which it is. A company like Bethesda shouldn't be able to get away with this mess. They simply don't care and it's very obvious. After 40 hours, I just can't force myself to enjoy it anymore. As a fan I feel like I've been betrayed, and it does not feel good.… Expand

    I have been a Fallout fan since the first RPG Side-scroller - and have witnessed the Fallout franchise achieved new heights with each reiteration.

Fallout 76, however, has slumped to an all-time low. Had this game not been dubbed a part of the Fallout series, I doubt it would have made it to post-production, much less receive a 5-star review on opening day from diehard fans hellbent on buying anything Fallout related, but being much disappointed soon after. Between technical errors, such as game freezing and or crashing, to quests not beginning or progressing, to multiplayer problems, such as not being able to invite a friend into the party, or simply dropping out from a party mid-mission for no reason, to being killed by invisible foes, Fallout 76 could have used another year for production and game-testing before being released.

    The game crashes at least twice every three hours, with frozen screens, followed by a PS4 bluescreen immediately after opening the program and signing in again, black-screens that thrice have required me to manually restart the PS4 within the past week, or signing back in again to find myself 60% irradiated and or have dropped all my additional loot from dying while the game froze. Forced signing out mid-mission guarantees that the ammunition and materials used for repairs are not refunded so that I will have to grind to find more ammunition and materials in hopes that the game won't crash again.

    Despite being an entirely online experience, the multiplayer experience sucks. Trading is counterintuitive while dropping a paper bag at your feet works much better than the trading system. Multiplayer seems cool until you realize that each member of your group must pick up mission items individually and that doing so may guarantee that other people in your party, who did not pick up their holotapes, cannot continue with their missions. Players on my friend list often can't join me or even do so when we are in the same game, standing face to face, using the defunct "invite to party" option. Being dropped from a group or not being able to reassemble my four-player group after a system crash and hard reset has also been prevalent.

    Then there are in-game issues, too, with being attacked by invisible enemies that I can't target in VATS, can't see, and apparently can't shoot or hit despite being pinged to death by them. Power armor chassis can't be inspected to show the actual pieces I've attached while scrapping to gain modifications almost guarantees that none of the legendary weapons found could be additionally modded. Then there are invisible barriers, or running forward only to load ten steps behind where I had just run, or attacking rad-scorpions that have miraculously jumped on rooftops to attack my turrets, or teleport around instead of actually crawling so that I can't hit them.

    Fallout 76 has been a waste of money and time so far, and though I may play it for a few more days in hopes that Bethesda improves their game during the Christmas season... the set-up, storyline, and gameplay has fallen grossly short of their predecessors, and have soured my taste for future Fallout products.    … Expand

    Bethesda dropped the ball on this title. It was rushed to release in a critically flawed state. You cannot simply release a game, expect users to give you a pass because "You are Bethesda, hurdur".

Fallout 3, Fallout 4, Skyrim, ESO, all released in buggy states, but was at least merited by a devoted user base that was allowed creative and technological freedom to fix and mod the game. Unfortunately, due to this being a online only and multiplayer game, it removes all aspects of user end fixes and modding. This then requires Bethesda to launch a game in a working state. Clearly, it was not. This game has several game breaking bugs, and STILL HAS THEM. Every aspect of Bethesda currently is on fire at the time of writing this review. It is beyond comprehension that a AAA developer the size of Bethesda decided "Yea, we can launch this". Bugs in the B.E.T.A. are still present in the game, if that is any indication the level of effort Bethesda put into the actual game. When updates have to add features that the game should have already had, considering it is a multiplayer game, like: FOV, Push-to-talk, 21:9 support, online only servers, no server browser. I will not be supporting this game, and any future Bethesda games until weeks after release. Congratulations Bethesda, you lost a loyal fan. I've put over 1000 collective hours in F3. I can't wait until you give Obsidian the license for FNV2. At least they can make a good RPG.… 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.
