    Its realy realy huge you can spend easy about 100 hours and wont see everythink...

    As many i was realy mad at release and **** some german youtube channels to say the players to dont buy it...

    Now i have to say ... Buy it... after level 30-40 the game becomes what we all hoped that it should be.    … Expand

    As a fan of Fallout franchise and the new direction with which Fallout 76 goes, it's nice to see a take on a new area of the wasteland that is the USA, lore is abundant as well as enemies, and hidden troves of references, and activities.

Bugs are around but given the merge of the Creation Engine with the Quake Netcode, there still are plenty of things to be ironed out. While I cannot give it a full 10/10, Fallout 76 in my opinion deserves an 8/10 for stretching it's fingers into the melting pot of West Virginia.

    Instead of NPC's abound, we have robot traders, and robot events due to lore reasons. Many people cannot see past this because they are use to being hand-fed things to do, well Fallout 76 doesn't do that too much, it gives you more of a choice than ever before. Don't do the main story, that's fine; want to be a total wanderer, that's fine too. While not suited to all players, Fallout 76 gives a new test and trial to the wasteland.

    Many players, and reviewers have followed the hate train into the ground, and are not very constructive with their reviews, it's sad and pathetic really.    … Expand

However,

    It has an overabudance of gamebreaking issues, the servers are unable to sustain the endgame without crashing(We launched a nuke and it instantly killed the server we played at, wasting all launch keys and keycards) it lags so much people are unable to loot and it randomly crashes due to 10 people being in the same vicinity inside the game. Certain quests resets upon leaving a server which crashing and disconnecting counts as.
    Not to mention the numeric bugs and glitches that carried over from fallout 4 that they havent bothered to fix.

    The game is fun as long as you dont run into bugs/gamebreaking glitches, sadly. there are more of those than raditation in this game.

    It has the potential to be a great and fun game, sadly, that is too far out of reach at the moment, while it has alot of features promised, i can only judge it on what it actually has at the moment. It is a broken game that shouldnt have launched in its current state.    … Expand

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.

    Hitboxes need work. Point blank, shooting a shotgun at Robot/Feral/Scorched and miss entirely? Is this an episode of the A-Team?

    Am sorely disappointed with this. As someone mentioned earlier, if this was an addon for Fallout 4, it would have been great and truly enjoyable as a single player experience.

    As multiplayer, with the amount of issues and poor mechanics, it's subpar at best. Add an offline mode with NPC's, deeper quests and I'm sold.

    Barring boring game play, eternal spawning events that are more a nuisance and obstacle, the scenery is incredible. I like the new creatures and weapons. But the game has a LONG way to go to make me want to play it for hours on end. Right now, 1-2 hrs is all I can muster.

    One quick note, I was foolishly under the guise the BETA was to fix and repair, knowing now, it was merely an early access (which progress via trophies didn't port over in some instances) forewarning of what was going to be.

    I feel a bit foolish for purchasing the Digital Tricentennial version and the guise of a whole brand new game. Shame on me. Bethesda, you really dropped the ball on this one.    … Expand

There is so much to explore, there are tons of stories to piece together, all you have to do is look. As someone who reads every single terminal in my fallout games I have found a lot of interesting lore to envelope myself in. I’ve also found that since all the toxic people are online complaining about how they can’t spawn AP newbs, the community in game right now is amazing. People teaming up, helping each other, and just generally being cool and having fun together. There are bugs, and there are a few issues, and no, it’s not as pretty as RDR2, but it’s good at whT it does. To anyone thinking about getting 76 I’ll say 1. Know what you are buying, this isn’t fallout 5. It’s something new and different than regular fallout, but that’s not a bad thing as long as you know what you are getting. 2. Ignore the hate. Half the people complaining are holding up new Vegas as the gold standard, well, new Vegas was ripped a new one in reviews when it came out too. 3. Realize before going in that it doesn’t force feed the story to you, you aren’t looking for someone you lost, or trying to find some lost tech. You have to go looking for the story, but it is there. So don’t play for a few hours and then hop on here and say that there is “nothing to do”. I’ve played about 80 hours or so now and I have hardly scratched the surface.… Expand

The "game" is a boring 2nd life with long slow travels walking to constantly find food and water. You're health and action bars are constantly lowered by unavoidable disease, irradiation, thirst and hunger. Your inventory is low, vendors carry little cash and necessary supplies are limited. So fine the game forces you to live with very little. Don't get attached to a good weapon because it breaks and you don't have the resources to repair it. Don't build because someone will drop a nuke and you'll lose your camp. Don't modify anything because again it'll break and you can't repair it without looking for items for hours. You can't afford to buy them. You can't afford to fast travel and you can't run so you'll walk forever to go anywhere. If you do fast travel free back to base and when you go through doors both with long load times you'll likely be surrounded by a hoard of enemies when you spawn and you'll die. When you die you lose all junk and you have to go back and die again trying to retrieve it if someone doesn't steal it first. There's no way to play co-op even with friends much less strangers because everyone will take different times to manage items, health, read/listen to items. There's so few people on your server on a huge map there's no help in public events which give you fewer gifts than the supplies you'll use accomplishing them. And if you claim a workshop for a public event your caps were spent on something that disappears when you log off or someone steals it. Welcome to your new life. Basically don't buy, build or get attached to anything. Live off of whatever weapon you can find at the moment and when it breaks or the ammo runs out have a back-up and pick up whatever else is dropped. The maps will show you in general where you'll be walking to but won't show local maps or anything helpful like locations for benches. Since the game is live good luck trying to hack a computer because you'll be attacked during. And good luck trying to use the vats or manage weapon and health items during combat. So if living with nothing, having your whole day be occupied with looking for food and water and having what little you acquire be taken away this is the game for you.… Expand

    The same experience I know and love from Fallout 4 but with pals. This is way more of a Co-op. PVE experience, rather than a multiplayer PVP.

    There are some issues with NPC’s only being Robots that you can’t really interact with, they really talk at you.
    But, personally I find that the story and writing in this game is as good as ever. I find myself massively invested in this games story.

    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.
