    BRIEF SYNOPSIS
    Fallout 76 is in all sincerity a corporate cash grab. 76 best shows how it does not care about its fans or series as it throws away lore with stupid explanations that can only be explained by the realization that Bethesda was needing to put elements into the game or save money in contrast to the lore. A prime example of this is how Bethesda explains how there are no NPCs    BRIEF SYNOPSIS
    Fallout 76 is in all sincerity a corporate cash grab. 76 best shows how it does not care about its fans or series as it throws away lore with stupid explanations that can only be explained by the realization that Bethesda was needing to put elements into the game or save money in contrast to the lore. A prime example of this is how Bethesda explains how there are no NPCs because you were one of the first vaults that opened. This whoever is in stark contrast to fallout lore where the vast majority of all people were not vault dwellers. So much so that you were often called "vault dweller" as it was a unique part of your identity. Additionally, super mutants should only be on the west coast. Bethesda threw this away as they wanted super mutants in their game. I talk about these two specifically because it shows how this game was not designed from inspiration but corporate greed. Now, lets do a pros and cons list starting with the cons.

    CONS
    Horrible bugs,
    The vats system is hilariously awful,
    Micro-transactions,
    PVP has no intensive ,
    A total disregard for the Fallow lore,
    The story is beyond lazy,
    The games physics is tied to its frame rates giving players huge advantages,
    The game has literally no anti cheating and you can also get other players locations and IP if you know what you are doing,
    Loneliness,
    Playing with other players is very rare,
    the graphics,
    No mod support for one year,
    Loot does not fee rewarding,
    Leveling is based off RNG,
    Bethesda plan 6, yes 6 expansion in order to make up for the lack of content so prepare to spend a lot more money to try to get a decent game.
    Bethesda has already stated there will be no refunds for customers who realized they were duped into buying a turd sandwich.

    PROS
    You can save 60 dollars if you don't buy this game.

    CONCLUSION
    Bethesda with its long standing behavior of releasing buggy, horribly optimized, and incomplete games has stepped up their game to fully show consumers that they care about one thing only, profit. Let this uninspired, incomplete cash grab of a game be a warning to be cautious of all upcoming Bethesda Titles.    … Expand

    To expect people to spend their hard-earned money on this is an attack on common sense. Let us be responsible for our actions, let us punish with our purchase decision and with low scores those developers who want to enrich themselves with million-dollar advertising campaigns and products of dismal quality.

    The game is void of any life, there is nothing to do, no NPC's, there's nothing, its just one big grind, its not even an MMO, to call this an MMO it would require story and towns and NPC's to give quests, but its nothing of the sort, its a blatant insult to the fans, Get it together Bethesda.

    The game itself surprisingly doesn't have many bugs, at least not many that I noticed, the only issues I've found is that it runs absolutely abmyssal, being around 25fps usually but frequently dipping below 10fps at certain encounters. This is on a PS4 Pro, my friend with a base PS4 encountered even more frame-rate problems.

    Outside that, it never crashed and I never had any issues with items dissapearing or monsters "t-posing", it seems they fixed that from the BETA.

    The biggest issue lies in the fact that Fallout 76 is just so bloody boring. Boring and Empty are the two best words to describe this game, and it pains me to do it because I am such a huge fan of the Fallout series and went into 76 with cautious optimism, hoping that it might be okay.

    The Good:

    - The world is really pretty, Appalachia is an excellent setting and the map is very big, so its obvious Bethesda put some effort into creating a diverse enviornment

    - Some of the elements of the game are well done, for example I like the inclusion of corpses that would have been mummified in the initial nuclear blasts.

    - The base building element is done alright, but its essentially just a portable version of the base building you had in Fallout 4.

    The Bad:

    - The atrocious frame rates! This game looks identical to Fallout 4 which came out more then 3 years ago, why on earth does it run worse then the latest bleeding edge titles?? Its not even in 4k! I've never played a console game that has performed quite this terribly, and given Bethesda's giant budget I am absolutley floored at the performance!

    - The fact there is utterly nothing to do, Bethesda decided to remove all human NPC's which means the world is filled with corpses and notes and holotapes, rendering each quest a fetch quest with no actual people to spur you on, you are just following breadcrumbs left behind. Its utterly lifeless and soulless, there is no sense of life anywhere, which for a Post Apocalyptic game should make sense but rather then increase the atmopshere it just makes things more dull.

    - On top of the previous point, because the game has you listening to Holo-tapes, playing with a friend actually ends up being a bit of a hinderence, because you can't actually listen to the Holo-tapes and pay attention with someone activley talking in your ear.

    - The removal of a traditional V.A.T.S system and the fact the enemies still run around like crazed maniacs because they think you can stop time with V.A.T.S to kill them makes all encounters with enemies far more challenging then they should be.

    - Weird lore breaking additions like Super Mutants and the B.O.S which shouldn't have existed at this part of the game

    - Clunky menu system that worked fine in a singleplayer game with a PAUSE option, but given this is always online, if you are over encumbured or need to switch weapons while being pursued by fast, agressive super mutants, good luck bucko, cause you can't easily do anything in the god awful menu, and pulling it up means you just die faster.

    - Outrageously expensive microtransactions, one outfit costs around 8-10 real life dollars, for a cosmetic item it seems a little steep, but honestly the microtransactions are the least of this games problems.

    Overall the game feels like so much wasted potential, its identical to Fallout 4 in every single way except it has little to no proper quests, everything feels like a fetch mission, there is no life anywhere and the co-op/online aspect is completley unnecessary and shoe horned into the game for no reason whatsoever. The map is cool and some of the elements are neat, but this game would have been fine as a $20 add on DLC for Fallout 4 3 years ago, not a full priced standalone game when they've had 3 years to develop it.

    It seems like Bethesda spent 3 years crafting a great, big open map and trying to shoe horn some garbage online element into it which goes against what traditional Fallout is about, and completley forgot to actually populate it with quests or anything actually FUN to do.

    As it stands avoid this game, perhaps they will patch it in a year or so and then maybe buy it for $10-20 on sale to experience it for yourself.

    I gave this game a score of 2/10 only because of the interesting environment and a few cool additions, as well as the hope the game will improve in time.

    I will be returning this game.

There are just robots(whom all have the exact same lines and nothing interesting to say) for story, and tapes on the ground where it is just dead bodies everywhere. The quests are all, go here, now go there, now go over here again. the crafting is frustrating, As firstly, there is barely anything to actually craft, and two, getting materials is limited to looting annoying items from abandoned houses-so the worst part of fallout 4 is the major mechanic of this game. No cutting trees, or bashing rocks to get basics. The perk system is an even more simplified terrible version of what we got in fallout 4, which was already a terrible system to begin with. VATS has been completely destroyed to a short lived auto aim.

    Honestly, this game is a pure insult to the Fallout franchise, and in genuinely feels like Bethesda started making the game, got bored half way through and went, meh, release it like that no one will care. there is nothing redeeming about this game, even being able to do some things with your friends doesn't save this at all.    … Expand

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
