    Do not let other people decide if you like a game or not. Play it and see for yourself how much fun it is. I have played since beta and love it.

    Been playing this game for ages now, it only gets better and better with bathesda’s ongoing support and constant improvements. It has a really great positive community, give it a try, you’ll be pleasantly surprised!

They need to permanently ban the cheaters once found out; however, they don’t do a thing cause all they care about is money....

    Don’t waste your money on this because they try to get you with micro transactions and the stuff you do buy, you can’t place at your camp (due to extremely low budget). You can finish the game very quickly to when it is just repetitive and gets very old.....

    Bethesda has still FAILED to address Cheater weapons that they know about and they don’t give a rats ass about fixing the game or any player reports. Biggest waste of money n time you’ll ever waste. I highly suggest stop playing and do some else very constructive. Oh, the updates are so damn big soon it’ll be the ONLY game on your system....can’t fix stupid or lazy.....    … Expand

    I am convinced any, and every perfect score given by users on this game are bots. This game was not ready for publication, not even close. At absolute best, it was a late Alpha/early Beta release.

    This isn't a game; this is an unfinished project that was handed in because they ran out of time.

    Fallout 76 not only fails miserably at being a Fallout game, it's simply not a good game in any particular way, shape or form. It fails at storytelling.

    Fallout 76 is not Fallout. It's hardly even functional. Perhaps it'd be acceptable as a free-to-play down the line. As a paid for product however, this is the worst game of 2018 by a "AAA" studio. As long as Todd Howard and Bethesda continue this dishonest behavior of hyping up garbage, stop supporting them and stop buying their unfinished broken products.    … Expand

It had so many bugs, glitches and errors that even EA would be ashamed (Many will say that this is an impossibility;-). It was maybe not even in a Beta state. Then there was not much content (NPCs, good quests, remarkable storylines etc.). They couldn't even properly fix the bugs until today. The patches often cause more problems. The last two I remember were that reloading your weapon could deactivated parts of your armour. You need to remove and re-equip you armour to fix this (Good luck during combat). The most serious bug allowed hackers to plunder your complete inventory (Don't know if they needed even a line of sight). Then there were the problems with the collectors edition (Which I don't own). There was the mold helmet issue that could cause health problems and the duffel bag fiasco. They showed a better bag in their promotional pictures than they delivered and then were caught lying. They banned a player who reported an exploit to them to get it fixed. If I remember correctly he was the guy who made the Map 76 (I have only heard of the map by hearsay). They could not stop hackers from exploiting the games (Some make other players life a living hell). Then there is Fallout first. A detestable try to tab your cash. They want 100$ per year from you for additional content for this full prized game in a still broken state. Even the Fallout first features were broken / had bugs. If by now this is not a 0/10 game than nothing qualifies for this. They have failed in every category. I even think they needed the money to avoid problems or a bankruptcy because such incompetence would made even a government official feel humiliated. Overall while you still can have some limited fun it is not something you should defend in the slightest way. If you like Fallout you should play Fallout 3 / 4 or New Vegas. You can get the Ultimate / Game of the year editions relatively cheap and they are much better.… Expand

    When a really atrocious frame rate is compounded with a online latency then you get a double whammy of super sucky performance. So I was very glad when I brought Fallout 76 preowned using a old voucher from a game store. The Fallout 76 retail version after the 40GB install downloaded a 80+ GB online update and it still ran like crap, wtf!?

The Fallout 76 retail version after the 40GB install downloaded a 80+ GB online update and it still ran like crap, wtf!?

    That being said I did enjoy the open world exploration and the tons of mad looting ( like I do in all Fallout/TES games ). The survival, crafting and base building elements didn't really get in the way that much thankfully. It was not long before I got stuff for a small singular base and the gear I needed for many a long fun exploration.

    I even enjoyed the way Fallout 76 told it's narrative. Finding many a aftermath scene then having to pierce that together with the audio and/or text logs to figure out what happened. It was a fun little mental exercise loop for sure.

    Fallout 76 sixteen times the detail and all new rendering and lighting? Odd that this game runs so bad, but looks worse than the dated Fallout 4? Then again graphics aren't everything, but they are a nice bonus right? NPC Character models looked worse than the environments for sure and the animations are also kind of poor quality.

    The thing that makes this game fall down so hard is the combat due to the frame rate and online latency issues. It doesn't matter if I like the narrative style, exploration, looting and are ok with the survival, crafting and base building aspects. If the game runs like total crap in nearly every combat scenario.

    The 800 stash limit was another off putting game design. Anyone one who has played Fallout 3/4 & NV knows this is a measly size. Having to swap things out constantly even early game was annoying. It doesn't take long to fill that stash box up for sure.

    This game is so not optimized for the PS4 whatsoever. Shame really, because I was really getting into all the other stuff that worked. Then again FO4 runs kind of bad. So why I am even surprised at the very poor current optimization of FO76.    … Expand

Honestly the response is surprising did anyone think that this was really going to be that good? Bethesda, I feel before the release was very honest on what kind of game this was going to be. That game is a MMO light action RPG with no NPCs besides enemies, and other three letter acronyms. I am here to say while this isn’t a great Fallout game it was bug filled, and rather boring I do think people are being very hyperbolic to say the least.

    Fallout 76 has a story… or mostly a premise because the rest of the story is either text and/or audio logs that I bet most people do not care to read/listen. The premise is you are one of the first people to leave the Vault like ever and you are out there to build and explore, and figure out what happened to the Overseer. That’s is all I know about the story, the rest that I played I could not care less about it.

    The game plays like previous Fallout games, but as if a third party was trying to make one and not get sued. It was so close to what we all know and love but was just missing like all the beats that make a Fallout game fun. The level up system was this new weird card pack thing where you get cards you’re your increase attributes. Only you could only have so many cards in each slot, and are limited in choice at the beginning. I honestly was rather confused on the whole deal. Being that it is MMO light the world will have random events that’ll give you goodies if you do them. It’s nothing special at the early game stages and unfortunately, I can’t speak for end game content so I have no idea if it gets better. The online community seems very troll free, I ran into many people and never had someone try and kill me nor try and be obnoxious. Sadly, one of the biggest sins of the game is the rework of the VATS system. It is now just an auto aim real time thing. In the old version, you could target body parts and get a percentage whether you’d hit it. Now you either hit the enemy or miss. That’s it. The other pain in the ass thing is the fact you now must eat and drink to make sure your stamina doesn’t decrease. I hate survival games, 90% of them are just tedious and annoying Fallout adding this mechanic gets old quick. For those of you who are worried you can’t play single player you must now go make friends I have good news and bad news. The good news is you can play this entirely single player without it being stupid difficult. The bad news is the game is boring as hell by yourself. With friends, you could have a lot of fun screwing around the wasteland, and doing this quest. By yourself it is so quiet and lonely you might want to put on a podcast and give the illusion of people.

    Overall it isn’t the God-awful mess that people should create a giant pyre to throw all known copies into so it can’t hurt anyone else. It is just a bad game that most fans of the series won’t really enjoy. I can see this game having a following though because it isn’t unplayable it just isn’t that fun to play. I know this sucks because it is a Fallout game and we love Fallout, but hey you still have 3, 4, and New Vegas so go play those. I give this a LOW RENTAL because I still think people should try it and give their thoughts. This very well may be your thing it just isn’t mine.    … Expand

    You're supposed to be "Rebuilding America" in Fallout 76, but who are you rebuilding the world for? Because BGS has decided that no human NPCs will be in the game (thus eliminating the workload of building meaningful characters and a populated world), so are we rebuilding the world for our fellow Vault Dwellers? Probably not because they can build their own junk shacks. So... what's the point again?

    I've played this game for just over 20 hours, and already the "main quest" is uninteresting and very predictable.

    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.
