    I think this game has a ton of potential and after seeing how NMS made a huge turn around I believe Bethesda could do the same with fallout 76 that being said I am personally having a blast with the game playing with friends and exploring a vast mutation filled wasteland I do fell the servers could use more players then what they have set my only major gripe is the overly large updatesI think this game has a ton of potential and after seeing how NMS made a huge turn around I believe Bethesda could do the same with fallout 76 that being said I am personally having a blast with the game playing with friends and exploring a vast mutation filled wasteland I do fell the servers could use more players then what they have set my only major gripe is the overly large updates they take forever on my connection… Expand

    Perhaps in the future, the game will have content, but now it is empty, like the head of those designers and writers who made it.

    Insane game. Always loved all fallout games for that autistic wasteland waste looting with beloved old jazz songs on radio. The fact that this game hasn't any NPC is great because it boosts that autistic feeling so much. No npc + rare players meetings - that thing leaves you alone in this world. Fantastic!

    Even if someone tells that this game is not Fallout, I tell that this IS Fallout, this is Fallout 4, taken and copied and this is bad. Let's change tha models and the graphic engine please! I am a big fan of the franchise and this is my disappont. Obviously I can't give a 0 vote because this is ridiculous. And the absence of NPC is very a pain.

    This is not a game, just a cash grab product of marketing. There is no Todd Howars in it, just his name. It is broken, ugly and pointless. Hope Bethesda will change their approach, after this absolute disaster. If you truly care for the future of Fallout, I beg of you, don't buy this product! P.S. Even a mere thought, that we could get something like New Vegas brings tears to my eyes(((

    There are some bugs and some glitches, but I have a lot of fun anyway.
    There is a beutiful landscape with a lot of details, many missons, sub-missions and events. I like to discover the map and finding new locations with my allies. Until now I spended a lot of time in this game and i will continue it.

    Gonna go ahead and be a voice of reason in a sea of absolute insanity. This game is not only NOT the terrible game that the droning masses make it out to be, it is a damn fine multiplayer game. The systems in play work well together to allow you to play with friends or random players, while still keeping the lonely wanderer aesthetic and world that has come to be associated with the franchise.

    One thing I was surprised about, which i was told there were none of by most people, were the amount of quests. There's more than I thought of and I would have enjoyed the game without any quests, let alone the Overseers' quest. Again, I gotta say, exploring the wasteland with buddies is amazing.

When walking backwards you walk into invisible walls yes i see that there was nothing stopping me when i turned around to see why i couldn't walk backwards. The main story quest is you following holo tapes that someone leaves behind and you don't feel like you are contributing to anything. The pvp is broken when you are up against 2 people with power armor and you got nothing and there is something you can do but let them kill you. The building is broken there are only a few spots to build and if someone builds at a workshop you can't move it or collect your stuff that got placed next to it. The hit detection of enemies is also broken. Just don't buy it and save your self the trouble or just watch people streaming it.… Expand

Also, unlike what was advertised the game is barely playable solo. Multiple reasons for this: every thing is a bullet sponge that eats though the small amount of ammo that can be found. Then there is the lack of finding Stimpaks or things that can heal you. I can be hours of playing before running across a stimpack. Oh you also need food and water seams like every time I turn around I have to consume one or the other if not both. Also, extremely low cary wight but that's not too bad as you can put stuff in your stash when you get to it... oh and that is already full. no luck there.

Prior Fallout games were fun because you did not have the ant hill mentality of multiplayer to get between you and the enjoyment of the game. The quests are all fetch and forget ordeals given to you by souless robots or other non-human mechanisms.

    There are NO companions and this hurts because; I always enjoyed the Super Mutant Companions. Last thing I want in a game is to spend hours crafting a nice building or defense only to have some 8 year old ruin it all. Don't even get me started on the patch that is HUGE like 50 gigabytes, so forget it if you don't have high speed broadband.

    Mostly the Fallout 76 is boring, repetitive and uninspired. The story is lame and the lack of Human NPC's just makes the world feel empty. The NPC's used to add a layer of immersion to the story and quests that made things fun, consequential and worth doing. My review has no spoilers because, Fallout 76 is so bad there is literally nothing to spoil here. The problem with garbage is that it is already spoiled and Fallout 76 is just plain straight up garbage.

    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

    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.
