    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Bethesda shovelware. Absolute garbage, wouldn't even play it for free, couldn't pay me to play it. Hurts the eyes, hurts the ears, hurts every sense there is and more. Absolute trash.

    la gente se llena la cabeza con cualquier youtuber idiota
    el juego es divertido , mucho que explorar , jugar con amigos , armar bases
    lo unico raro es el pvp de que si golpeas primero recibes 2 cartuchos en la cara muriendo en el intento

    An amazing online playground for Fallout enthusiasts. Needs some quality of line enhancements as well as bug fixing, but overall Bethesda delivered what they promised.

    An online only Fallout isnt a Bethesda Stidios game, and its not a Fallout game. No NPCS, no real story, griefers everywhere, ni real RPG elements such as branching dialogue or companions, no fun. What a waste of dev budget and time.

I must state that I initially was not planning on buying Fallout 76, for many reasons and concerns which were already echoed by other members of the community, but then I decided to give it a try and had a blast!

    I played throughout all the Beta sessions on PS4, also stayed up all night to play it during release, have +30 hours in total. Played mostly solo and for about 7 hours partied up with other players who I stumbled into randomly.

    The game is excellent if you have a bit of fantasy, allowing you to create your own adventure. I could never get into Fallout 4 as I found its premise and plot quite bland, but I love other Bethesda games, such as Fallout New Vegas, TES: Morrowind and TES: Skyrim.
    I can understand how the concern of the lack of NPCs can be alerting, but so far the story was very engaging: some of stories were very emotional and thought-provoking.

    PVP is surprisingly fun - had a lot of interesting encounters with other players, which ended up becoming a shootouts for half an hour. The only thing I would change about it is the revenge mechanic, infinitely respawning on your opponent is silly.

    Graphics is great for PS4, being a multiplayer game I did not expect the graphics to be any better, otherwise the server would not be able to handle it. Freezes do happen every now and then but do not require a restart.

    Overall I believe FO 76 has a promising future, can't wait to see what Bethesda has in store for it. See you all in the Wasteland!    … Expand

    They could've given us another New Vegas-style game instead of this, but Bethesda just had to chase the Rust-clone survival multiplayer crafting craze.

What little story there is is just Bethesda's trademark 'environmental storytelling' where long dead skeletons conveniently remember to record their login details in audio logs right as they expire.

    There are no memorable npcs (or forgettable ones for that matter, there are no npcs at all), no actually important quests where you decide the fate of the wasteland or anything like that. It's all been sacrificed on the altar of multiplayer - and it cant even do multiplayer well. The servers are awful even after a couple of weeks of stress testing with the beta, PVP is completely irrelevant, and there are no private servers (something a game like this desperately needs) so you're stuck playing with whatever idiotic 12 year olds the game decides to connect you with.

    Over eight years later people still fondly remember Fallout New Vegas. Eight years from now? I doubt people will have much to say about Fallout 76, assuming it is even still playable considering the servers might have been taken down by then.    … Expand

    Horrible frame rate, world feels empty. Annoying gameplay, hard to find ammo, have to dehydrate, feels like a chore most of the time. Game lacks identity: doesn't know whether it wants to be a online shooter (which its not) to a rpg. Gun play is not in the same realm as other games in the same genre. They were better off putting their efforts into Starfield and Skyrim then this rubbish.

    This game is a lazy cash grab asset flip

    Its terrible, the gun play still sucks, the world is barren and lifeless with no NPCS It can be fun with friends for about an hour, then you realise how insanely repetitive and empty this game is Go here, shoot things, loot stuff repeat This would be okay if any of these things felt great mechanically Everything feels janky and    This game is a lazy cash grab asset flip

    It's sad to see this game is being rated for what it's not, rather than for what it is.

    The main issue with Fallout 76 is that it feels like a free fan mod for Fallout 4, but it's official and full-priced title by Bethesda. This is both good and bad, because it's nothing more, but also nothing less than F4. Same bugs, same writing, same mechanics.

    What I enjoy about F76 is that this game creates amazing exploration and story creation environment for players, especially if you're playing with friends. This is an MMO ARPG game where I'm reading every single note that I find. It's engaging and organic.

    Personally I can't wait to see this game a year from now. Would recommend playing it after a massive price drop and a couple of patches.    … Expand

    The legacy of a 21 year old franchise, tarnished. Its identity? Obliterated. Fallout 76 is nothing more than just a bug-ridden, lore-breaking carbon copy of Fallout 4 with an extra algorithm for online play. It serves no purpose, it's big, empty, boring and it falls under the whole micro-transactions BS.

    Unlike the neck beard trolls who are living in their mother's basements that are trying to tank the score here, I have actually PLAYED the game and have found it to be quite enjoyable. While it isn't a single-player focused title, I've enjoyed playing solo so far. The music, the atmosphere and world are stunning. The story is intriguing enough to keep me going so far.

    I have played every Fallout, first to last, and from my time in the beta (friend key) this game has few to no redeeming qualities. Ripping out the (humanoid) NPCs, with narrative and quests tied up with them, populated settlements, choices and consequences, and companions with personality and story arcs, was a terrible mistake and kills this title on arrival.

Ripping out the (humanoid) NPCs, with narrative and quests tied up with them, populated settlements, choices and consequences, and companions with personality and story arcs, was a terrible mistake and kills this title on arrival. It's what most Fallout players play for. Not shooting, looting, and building/crafting, or whatever godawful way that 'loop' was describied. The lore and the living, breathing, and rebuilding world. Not to hear some dads kids screaming at him that he is 'doing it wrong' all through character creation, exploring a world where everyone you might have wanted to interact with or things you might have wanted to do are already dead/over, and then spending a dozen hours seeing glimmers of what could have been amazing but was a total wasted oppertunity in reality.

    Fallout 76 feels like you are playing the aftermath of a much better Fallout title. Factions and probably heroes fighting to survive, events and great battles and personal struggles playing out, before someone messed up and got a Game Over and everyone died. Then you arrive. You spend the entire game cleaning up a mess/messes left by extinct factions, in a dead and lifeless map, with the end goal of stopping/killing what caused a second mini apocolypse, probably with an alliance made up of a guy eating chips loudly down his mic, a silent dude in a dress and part hat, and someone who can't stop jumping for two seconds. If you are lucky enough not to be met with stony silence and people totally ignoring eachothers existence which was all I found.

    Made single player, with a populated world full of NPCs, where the stories on the holotapes actually played out in front of you and you could take part, this could have been vastly better than FO4 or even Skyrim. It could have taken the crown of best Fallout from New Vegas without a challenge. Instead, it commits the worst sin of all, in that while being bad, it isn't even interesting. It's just so very, very boring. It feels more like a chore simulator than a video game.

    And all this is without all the wonderous technical issues.

    Avoid. I'm only giving it a 1 because nothing that even launches is worth a 0.    … Expand

    Many call it an obscene cash grab or a horrendous antithesis of fallout. I just call it garbage. It's a result of fallout design philosophy to create content ultra-cheap and push it as a fake AAA game. This game shows a complete lack of respect for ex-loyal customers.

    I'm a fool for being optimistic about this game. I loved Fallout 3, New Vegas, and even enjoyed Fallout 4 though I thought it was very disappointing. Fallout 76 is buggy, lazy, and an overall miserable experience with little redeeming qualities. I'm offended as a Bethesda fan and as a consumer that they thought this was worthy of a release. Stay away from this trash, I beg you.

    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.
