    Just read in the news that you can pay a whopping £120 a year to play on your own, in a full price AAA game that was broken on release. What the actual ****

    What have you become Bethesda

    Preface: I have spent 2,400 hours on fallout 4. 100s on fallout 3 & New Vegas

    Bethesda promised cosmetic only microtransactions
    Pete Hines is a liar

    It breaks my heart but this is a buggy dumpster fire of a game with no charm
    This is a cash grab trying to squeeze every cent from the consumer with a low effort put in. A thoroughly unenjoyable game

    Shame on you Bethesda

    I gave 76 so many trys but every time I bought and played it I returned it the same day. I would launch the game and within an hour I get kicked. I wish I could comment on the game play but I can't because I COULDNT **** PLAY IT.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Не такая уж и плохая игра как все говорят.
    Да,у этой игры и в правду очень старый движок для 2018 года,графика плохая,ч человеческие NPC отсутствуют,есть баги.Но Fallout 76 постоянно обновляют,добовляя в игру новые события и исправляют баги,а так же в скором времени в эту игру добавят человеческих NPC!Если эта игра и была плохой то только на старте,а сейчас с ней за исключением графики всё нормально.Играя в эту игру порядка 20 часов я не нашел никаких багов и просадки фпс,всёс этой игрой в плане оптимизации нормально.

It is a lot like when people hate a movie that was made after a book and it did not live up to what they read from the book. I like to judge material based on its individual standing. Note if you have a PS4 Pro which I do, it will crash every now and then. It can be annoying depending on the timing of the crash. Expand

    I really wish they had given this game more time in develpoment, just way too many game have a "content roadmap" just make a game then sell it. This is some poorly coded mess that has a micro transaction store... unethical

    The absolute worst Bethesda/fallout game I've ever played. Between the lack of npc's, and horrendous predatory microtransactions, I wouldn't recommend this turd of game to someone that I hated. It's incredibly tragic to see this from what was my favorite studio, and franchise.

Though they do care about the servers, trying to increase the stability on them. They dont consider the many issues of leveling, the quickness of leveling, the complete difficulty change into one quest from being low level quest to high level quest, at the level of 5, many of the quest that are in the game are completely boring and time consuming. They provide no fun like they would in previous fallout games. The combat issues of fighting enemies that completely move past you through your character. The weapon levels being high as when you find em. The fact that everything breaks fast, even with the perks they still break fast. Theyve also added a battle royale to which they will put more emphasis and importance to it, meaning more concetration on that game mode then into the base game itself. The fact that it is in survival 24/7. Where you cant chose to get off of that. Where is they made adventure for mainly pvp. Where they couldve put survival in there or made a complete different game mode for that scenario or all. The toxic community to which they wont even allow you to talk bad on the game or address issues rather will completely insult you. If i could a different fate then having this, id play fortnite with a bunch of 9 year olds and my friends brother who will completely call me a Expand

There are a few bugs from time to time that aren't pleasant but they didn't destroy the overall experience either. The world building is great. The map and its different areas is really immersive. The missions almost everyone has a different feel to them. There is a lot to discover here and exploration is really rewarding. And I think the outdated graphics works in the games favor in this case giving it a cool retro art style that just makes a lot of sense. The environmental storytelling isn't the best though, but it is ok for now. My personal experience is almost an 8/10, but there are issues here and the graphics aren't up to date so I have to objectively score it a bit lower. They are still improving the game though and that score might rise with the introduction of human NPC's this fall. Expand

    WTF Todd, are you okay? Maybe you need some help? Running a major league company and lacking marketing skillet to predict such obvious flop? I don’t believe in that. It’s more like some personality disorder or a deeply messed up perspective of objectivity.

While they did try with little success to release free dlc to bring back hype, it was too late and too riddled with other problems to the point every time one thing was fixed worse problems arose. While the game does have a possibility of being saved later down the line the actions taken thus far have proven the cheaper route may have just been to give refunds. Expand

    On JUNE 21 2019 a slew of 10/10 reviews pop up. Reminds me of spam reviews for Raven's Cry (worst game of all time). A statistical blip or is Bethesda spamming positive reviews to prop this game up? I'll believe the ultra low scores having witnessed the decline of Bethesda from great RPG maker to producer of utter garbage.

    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.
