    What a terrible waste of time. Recycled engine, no npc's, endless bugs. It's like game mode for Fallout 4 that they didn't finish. First person I see is named Diqfuq, and he follows me around for about 10 minutes jumping constantly, wearing nothing. Thanks Bethesda. Wonderful. Save player 1 am I right? Worst. Purchase. Ever.

    I was defending 76 from the very beginning, I was trying to give this game a chance. I can forgive it everything:

    o yes the game has it's flaws but as i stated earlier the bugs just break so much of this that it feels like a slap in the face that bethesda wants 60 bucks for this, i mean pubg has fewer issues than this (which is saying something). For instance the t-pose enemies, quest markers over dead corpses that have nothing to do with the quest, c.a.m.p setup destroying your building to force you to start over, enemies that LITERALLY do not die no matter how much you shoot or hit them, and mothman who i happened to come across and yes was the hostile variant who stood in front of me while he watched me kill him after 10 minutes of me hacking away at him. So yes the issues in this aren't small not by a long shot.

    In short it's a buggy game that lacks depth while providing the user a very unsatisfying experience overall. So while people say "It's a multiplayer spin off it's not meant for you it's meant to be played with friends", just remember that playing games with friends is enjoyable in general, you could do the same in CoD, fortnite, LoL, Overwatch or so many other games and have just as much fun and enjoyment (if not more in all) and feel better than myself for putting up with this game.    … Expand

    in the early days, Morrowind and oblivion had glitches and bugs that were to be expected, Fallout 3 had the exact same issue but the gameplay and story put those problems to the wayside. With the release of new vegas and then Skyrim the novelty of Bethesda was wearing thin, however, with the release of Fallout 4(a game I was genuinely excited for) the never-ending pattern of poor quality, the use of an aging engine, unbelievable persistent bugs present since oblivion days and an uninspiring story. all I can say is, thank god for mods.

    Fallout 76 is the worst game ever created by the publisher but fortunately for them, there are people who enjoy the opportunity to play fallout with friends and family. However, this does not excuse the fact that this is a "boring as **** game. NO NPC's except quest giving robots, A boring as hell story(if you can call it a story), terrible enemy encounters, sucky at best PVP and early 2000 graphics that want to make me throw up.
    It's sad when small indie game developers are doing a far better job producing quality games with a compelling story for $20-$40 and Bethesda wants $60 for a sub-par game with in-game currency and purchases. Most games like Fallout 76 are generally free-to-play with in-game purchases, the best example is always WARFRAME.

    Don't purchase this game, find a trusted reviewer and then make your decision. Don't let Bethesda off the hook for this cheap attempt at money grabbing.    … Expand

No NPCs, no immersive or fun companions. Just you, wandering around. Endlessly. Instead of NPC quest givers, there are piles of holotapes everywhere. So you no longer even pretend to have a conversation.

FOV/framerate locking, horrible optimization, I shouldn't have to make .ini tweaks in order to make a brand new game run at least halfway decently, even on a new machine. The world is dull and lifeless, you're just as likely to have a kid screaming into his mic as you are an actual productive experience with other players (my tally currently sits at 5 of the former, 2 of the latter).

    On top of the total lack of passion and care that went into this game is all the technical issues that Bethesda would normally rely on their fans to fix.

    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.
