    Practicamente es un 1/3 de juego a precio de completo, mas encima no esta en steam, lleno de bugs, aburrido y repetitivo, y la guida del pastel las "necesidades del Personaje" , LAG, Sigo?

    I'm a huge Fallout fan but when the game crashes, is super slow at points and out of the blue your entire camp with turrets, generators etc all disappear forever it puts you off playing and wish you didn't pay the full price for the game.

    Oh also Bethesda now say you can't get a refund, so stuck with a poorly written/developed game.

    It's not made for Fallout fans because it got rid of all of the best features from past Fallout games. it's not made for survival fans because the survival mechanics are beyond gimped. Who exactly was this made for? Failout 76 does absolutely nothing right. No wonder it was discounted 50% less than a week after release. Way to screw your fanbase Bethesda!

I was expecting something more akin to Rust where I would be afraid of encountering other players because I did not want to lose my stuff. They implemented a baby style of PVP that just doesn't work. Its as if you need to ask permission to pvp against someone. Horrible. I probably wont play more than a few hours more (already level 20) because I'm getting tired of reading notes and listening to holotapes. What a waste of $60. I'm going back to Rust to get my PVP fix.… Expand

    The 76 was aspirational. Time to vote with your wallets and let Turd Howard and the rest of Bethesda know that we're not going to accept the broken, buggy games they constantly release over and over.

The premise of Fallout 76 has several issues such as the removal of any human npc’s. This creative decision leaves the world feeling empty, lifeless and uninteresting. This game also focuses on areas of the fallout franchise that were not fan favorites (shooting, looting and fetch quests) in a blatant attempt for Bethesda and, by extension, Zenimax to get a piece of the ‘games as a service’ pie and to provide the company with a reliable source of finance for years to come, through the overpriced ‘Atom Shop’. Furthermore, the games horrendous performance on anything that isn’t an Xbox One X, the platform this game was clearly built for if the fact that the first gameplay trailer was announced at the Microsoft’s E3 conference, hampers any real enjoyment possible in this game. Overall this Fallout 76 is a definite avoid until it goes on sale for the price the game actually is worth ($30).… Expand

Huge mistake; will never happen again. This game simply should not have, under any circumstances, been released in it's present state. Graphics that look like a PS2 game coupled with clunky mechanics, both of which are a result of a 10? 15? 20 year old engine probably held together by duct tape at this point & which must be retired. Some reviewers have reported framerate drops as low as 30 fps when areas get busy - 15 fps or less is more accurate. Server disconnects regularly. Lack of NPCs makes the game feel hollow & unfinished; quests are boring & repetitive. Listening to Holotapes non-stop wears thin very quickly. Enemy AI (if you can even call it that) is a joke - enemies either stand still while staring at you or they run straight at you. Occasionally some glitch & get trapped in a wall or the ground or a tree. As for running into other players, this has to be the only online multiplayer game where PVP & multiplayer aspects are virtually non-existent. Crossed paths with a couple other players who just threw an emote & ran by. One person offered stimpaks. And since there is nowhere near enough content or immersion to keep playing solo, the game quickly becomes a $60 scavenger hunt simulator. Bottom line is there is nothing redeeming about this game. It is most certainly not a AAA game & is not worth more than $10; there simply are no more excuses to be made for Bethesda releasing half-finished garbage like this. If this is seriously the best Bethesda can do in 2018 then, very sad to say, it may be time to either have some people step aside or just stop making games.… Expand

    Was Todd Howard drunk when Bethesda came up with this game? This seems like an idea for a Fallout game that some high school kids who aspire to develop games would come up with while sharing a joint...

"Hey bro... what about Fallout... but EVERYONE IS REAL?!?! whooaaa" It's a fun thing to imagine and joke around about... but so very incredibly terrible in reality. Without NPCs, this game is boring and lifeless. There are quests, sure, but there is no life or soul in them. You're either interacting with dead bodies, robots, or notes written by someone who has already left the area. I was hoping Bethesda could pull off this whole "No NPC" idea, but after only 2 hours in, I realized that they had failed miserably. Each human player that I've encountered in the game (which have actually been few and far between) have been mutes and seemed to have no desire in communication or interaction with other players. In a boring world with nothing to do, why would I build a base? So that I can do nothing in that base? What motivation would I have to launch a nuke at fellow players? In a world filled to the brim with nothing, what incentive do I have to succeed with these awful meaningless quests? I can already do nothing in the real-world without spending money on a game to do more nothing in. I feel like I've completely wasted my money and I supremely regret pre-ordering this game.

    The current scores for Fallout 76 are between 20 and 30% by users. This is one of those games where the score is spot on. In its current stage and with its lack of content it is definitely a 2 out of 10 game. The 2 is there just for the map and slight tie in to previous fallout games. It's certainly not enjoyable or has any replay value.

    There is a possibility that the game could become better with new content, NPCs that deliver a plot to this dead and barren sandbox. If they fix the bugs and add some balancing then it might also be good for PvE. This game engine can't do PvP. It's too old and too broken to jury rig in any way to make this an enjoyable PvP experience.

    And as for the price? It's an absolute insult charging fans $60 for a cut down version of Fallout 4. This is a dlc at best and the price should reflect it. So avoid wasting your money. If it appears as a $10 sale item then I might recommend it just for the Fallout lore. But I'm sure modders could actually add a lot of this into a overhaul mod for Fallout 4 given enough time.    … Expand

    But the fact of the matter is, this game needed another six to eight months of solid development before release. Every Bethesda game has been buggy, the bugs add some character to the games. But this is entire quest lines that can't be completed, quest items repeatedly spawning inside of cliffs, underground, or inside of buildings that don't have entrances. Textures don't render, and gigabytes upon gigabytes of patches don't even come close to scratching the surface of the problem.

    I generally have a policy against pre-ordering games, but Bethesda is a studio that's built up such reputation for me that I was willing to bypass it - but never again. This is a combination of laziness and greed. Laziness to build something so unfinished and release it - and greed for trying to rush it so much to capitalize on the Black Friday / Christmas holiday season.

    Someone said "Hey, we know the game isn't finished, but if we don't drop it now, we won't make money. We can deal with 60% of our content being disfunctional or completely broken.". That's the real slap in the face here.    … Expand

Every mmo has human npcs/enemies and not a single person was ever confused. The real reasoning was simple, to save a few dollars to hack out this turd and add the fallout name. Im not surprised that Fallout 76 got a 50% discount already after only being out for a week. At this rate it will become free to play which is quite disappointing.

However, that fun is buried under an almost insurmountable mountain of glitches, bugs, and technical problems. The intriguing stories and quirky characters that gave the Fallout franchise its distinct character and draw are nowhere to be found. Instead, you can find countless references to the work that talented writers and designers made in past entries to the series. Fallout 4 began a trend toward emphasizing the style and aesthetics of Fallout over its substance and writing. Fallout 76 takes this shift to new levels, by stripping away the core gameplay to encourage gameplay loops revolving around a base building mechanic that provides no benefit, sense of progress, or satisfaction to the player. There seems to be be very little thought towards progression at all in this game, as many of the main quests are bugged and unable to be completed. End game content is barely differentiated from early game content, which only reinforces that the game gives little incentive to reach the end game.

    Instead, the game seems to be designed to provide a convenient way to spend $5 of your hard earned money to buy one of seven digital outfits from the atomic shop for your soulless avatar to show off to a soulless world void of any functional or worthwhile gameplay. Most of the content of the game is locked behind a poorly designed game economy and difficult to discover plans and schematics. You can modify weapons/amor you find, but to craft them you must find plans that are given out randomly as quest rewards or from in-game vendors with woefully small inventories. The game seems like it was designed to encourage microtransactions, but at the last moment was changed to help reduce some of the backlash the game deserves entirely to receive.

    My final thoughts are that it is disgusting that this game was released in this dysfunctional and incomplete state. Baffling design choices plague the game, showing an unwillingness of Bethesds Game Studios to commit to anything more than a ground level, proof-of-concept for a monetzation scheme. I have spent 100 hours in this game, and the longer I play, the more I find wrong with it. I want to like this game, but there is just too much wrong or missing from it for it to be considered a $60, AAA release. I rate it 0 out of 10 because it's not even a complete game. It is a heartbreaking waste of time.    … 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.
