    Mission structure is givin by just simple computer terminals and robots...

    30 dollars is what I think might be the right price.

    Just seems like a shell of a game. No NPCs, quests are boring, and everything seems meaningless...and that's all when the game is actually working.

    I knew that this game wasn't gonna be mind blowing by any account but my friend and I had planned to both get it to play it together.

I went into this game expecting it to be average but average would be a compliment. Fallout 76 feels like a small grade up from those asset flip **** games that people would put on steam. As consumers for Bethesda games we expect bugs on launch... but I got this a month after launch (cheap thankfully) and it's one of the buggiest games I've ever seen. There's no story, no NPCs to talk to and no sense of wonder as youre exploring the map. Buildings and places are just shamelessly reused from other fallout games and pasted.

    It's just a mess and I wish I could sell this game but I'd feel guilty putting the pain of the game onto another living person. This game has broken my faith in Bethesda and I have lost my excitement for Elder scrolls 6 because of it.

    Do not support games like this one. If you do then you will support:
    - Pure money-driven developement,
    - monetization everywhere in RPG games,
    - old Bugthesda games assets and mechanics re-usage. Also old bugs ;)

    I've been a fan since day 1 of Bethesda. I do totally enjoy Conan Exiles (which people yell at it is unfinished and buggy as well), BUT Bethesda can do more. This feels like a early mod.

    Fallout 76 can be a very pretty game at times but it is ruined when you see a glitching scorched or textures that look very very bad. This game is very boring with the most uninspired bare bones quests that I have ever done. One event quest is literally just escorting a robot through a city filled with like ten gouls. This is not fun this not how you do quest especially fallout quests.
    Fallout 76s world is huge. But a huge world is useless when there is nothing fun to do in it. The world comes off as very empty there are some places to scavenge and enemies to fight but it is still so barren.
    The biggest crime 76 commits are the attom shop. It is broken with fake sales and way overpriced skins. I can deal with overpriced skin in games like fortnite but that game is free to play. 76 is a 60$ game. It just comes off a soo greedy. Truthfully I had some fun in 76 but it was very few and far between.

    +World is beautiful (sadly)

    I hope this trend of hyping the gaming audience, just so they can keep charging $60 for an unfinished or even worse a copy pasted mess with no heart nor soul. Or they make games like Wokenstein...please stop...

    Gone are the days of putting genuine effort into creation of a memorable game. People like stay goldeneye n64 and resident evils on playstation and metal gear. But no, lets just rake in the $$$.

    Okay, where to begin? I pre-ordered this game (last time I will do that). I should have seen it in the BETA, but I gave Bethesda a chance, hoping they would fix some of the problems. I am a Fallout fan, played all games multiple times. But this is not Fallout. I dont mind that it is multiplayer, its a big map and its not often you see other players. But lets go over some of the details:Okay, where to begin? I pre-ordered this game (last time I will do that).

I dont mind that it is multiplayer, its a big map and its not often you see other players. But lets go over some of the details:

    Graphics: Everything in the background look like it has haze/fog, all the time. The graphics on FO4 is better.when looking at objects in the distance.

    Lootbox: its stupid with the 400 limit, its way to low. Fallout is a game where you should loot and collect for building and crafting. With this limit it destroys the fun of the game, because you have to use way to much time to handle inventory.

    Framerate drop: I have noticed heavy framerate drop in scrapping menu, nearly to the point that the game becomes unresponsive if you have many items.
    The same happens when you enter areas with many enemies or players. Also there is a lag from when you enter VATS until you can shoot. Not fun when the game throws many enemies at you. Its better to stay away from VATS in those situations.

    Enemies and spawn: Its kind of stupid that enemies spawn at an area you have cleared right away. Its frustrating, and takes away some of the fun. Like, if I clear that area, leave to dump some items at my camp (that is placed just outside the area I cleared), I have to start all over when I return to same area a few minutes later.
    The same if you die. I was clearing out a big area with high level Super Mutants, nearly at the end I died ( because of lag and unresponsive game). Then I could spawn outside the area, but I had to clear out everything one more time. I turned of the game instead. This is not my idea of fun gameplay.
    No contact with server? Same result. I was thrown out of the server when clearing out many enemies, came to the last one and game froze, no contact with server, resulting in logging in again, spawned just outside said place and had to start all over again. (now with less ammo and food/stimpacks). This makes progress feel useless and boring/frustrating.This is not fun Bethesda,

    Many times enemies float on the ground when they move, it kind of looks like they are on a hooverboard instead of running/walking. Enemies that you cant kill, enemies that just stand there. The AI in this game is rubbish.

    VATS/Shooting: When targeting and shooting enemies in VATS it is a frustrating lag (as said before). From pressing button for entering VATS I have to wait a second before shooting. If I shoot right away the first bullet will miss as VATS uses around 1-2 seconds to lock on target. This is frustrating as you sometimes have to act fast when the game throws way to many enemies at you at once.
    When in VATS its not possible to bash enemies with gun, this can be frustrating if your enemies are to close and VATS uses said time to lock.(communicate with server).

    No NPC makes the game boring, with a very thin story. I really like and enjoy the Fallout universe, but this game dont belong in this universe. Shame on you Bethesda

    The Department of Motor Vehicles quest sums this game up perfectly. It asks you to wait in line, then to operate the line yourself manually, going so far as to print yourself off your own wait ticket, twice! Then, after doing a few mini fetch quests you get ... nothing, because the quest is bugged and one of those previous steps never advanced.

    Why do the creator's of this game show such frequent contempt for their audience? Was the quest designed to never complete? Was it just bugged?
    Was the quest symbolic of the pointlessness of life's meaningless tasks?
    Did the game cause me to experience some odd emotional breakthrough?

    I honestly don't know. What i do know though, is that the game is much better once you bug out your carry limit with integer underflow. Also, booze helps.

    What good is a online game if no body wants to play it ? I bought Fallout 76 because I thought it would be fun to play with a friend . He wanted to buy it but after playing for my self , I told him to come over and test it out first. One hour later he was done. He left me with a question as a fan of past fallout game I’m still ask my self, “ Is this post to be fun?”

After chewing on this crap sandwich for over three days and building a character to level 20 I had to spit it out and walk away. I just can't lie to myself any longer. This game is terrible! It's not even a game. It honestly reminds me of when I was a child and saved up $30-$40 to buy a new nintendo game only to get stuck with a total bomb that was completely unplayable. Everything bad you have read or heard about this game is true. I spent hours getting settlements set up only to be disconnected when servers crashed and lost everything.

    Quest bugs are everywhere!
    Load times are worse than Fallout 4 in survival mode!
    Loot storage caps are unbearable!
    PVP is a total joke!
    The game is WAY too easy
    Quest from holo tapes is annoying and unrewarding

    Everything bad you have heard and more are true. I honestly think all the good reviews are written by staff members and share holders. Don't waste $60 on this game please. I wasted $120 because I bought it on PS4 and Xbox1 because oh yeah, you can't play with friends across platforms either. And another $59.99 to renew my PS4 Online pass, so I'm $180 in the hole for this abomination. If you really think you want to try this game just wait a few more weeks and you can buy !0,000 copies of it used at Gamestop in a few weeks for $2.99 because everyone is going to try to get whatever money they can back before it"s too late to sell it.

    If this game had been released as a disk based title with no way to update it online like games used to be made, there would be riots in stores with people demanding their money back! How can a "game studio" release such an epic title in such horrible condition? Yes, we all want the newest version of the games we love but WTF were they thinking they could cram this down our throats and we would just eat it? Don't give me the "this is a beta" or "it's only opening week" BS!!! Bethesda thinks they are going to reboot, repackage, copy and paste another title with a new map and rob their customers and fans of million of dollars!

    I'm sure hundreds of people worked their asses off to get this game "ready" for release but SERIOUSLY?!?!?! You knew this game wasn't even close to being ready and you pushed it out anyway. Now they are saying they are getting review bombed. Well guess what? I wouldn't have time to write this review if YOU HADN'T DROPPED THIS FLAMING PILE OF SH!T ON ME!!!! I would be spending countless hours enjoying a game I loved, playing online with my friends like you told us we could. But i'm not, cause when we get a group together, we keep getting dropped cause the servers keep crashing and reloading.

    I should really be thanking Bethesda for curing me of this addiction to Fallout. If this game had been half as good as previous versions I would have spent thousands of hours playing online instead of spending time with my wife and kid. But after 20 hours of ignoring them and TRYING to like this game, I just can't do it. I would rather sit with my wife and watch The Bachelor or some other God Awful show on the Oprah network.

    The game play, bugs and glitches and graphics issues aside is just horrible. The card system is pretty cool but you get random cards and have no way to "build a character" like you usually do in a fallout game. Imagine leveling up in Fallout 4 and just spinning a wheel to see what perk you get next. Oh WOW i just looted an awesome weapon, too bad I have to be level 30 to equip it. I'll just save it for later but oh wait, my stash is already full cause I can't craft anything useful till I find some plans for a GD weapon that I already looted 400 times and broke down for parts! I guess I'll just go kill another 10,000 scorched that keep re-spawning in my face every ten seconds and hope one of them drops something useful. NOPE just another A-D block, that's f-ing useful if Shawn was still a kid not a senior citizen. Building your own camp is kinda cool, till the server resets and you lose everything you built and have to start over. Taking a settlement for resources is great, till you logout and lose your progress. Or you invest tons of resources into it and some massive mob attacks it while your trying to complete a timed quest and destroys everything and you can't rebuild cause I'm out of junk!

    This game should have never been released in this condition. It can't be fixed with patches that are bigger than the original version of the game. It is flawed from the ground up and needed years more of work to make it playable. Bethesda has lost all credibility and I will never give them another dime. How they thought they could fool hardcore gamers is beyond me.

    PLEASE DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY

    There was a time when Bethesda's name carried the same weight as Rockstar and Naughty Dog. As a bethesda fan I gave this game despite the bad comments a chance and played it at least 10 hours alone and further 20 hours with friends to make my own opinion. And i'm totally disappointed by bethesda, it was a waste of time to play Fallout 76. Never thought that I would say that about a Fallout game.

    Having put some time into Fallout 76, I can say that it is not an enjoyable experience, for me at least. There are a number of reasons for why I don't enjoy this game, so I suppose I'll start with the lesser reasons and move on from there.

    Fallout 76 doesn't feel like Fallout. I have put 168 hours into Fallout 4, which was by the way my first Fallout game, and loved every second of time
    Having put some time into Fallout 76, I can say that it is not an enjoyable experience, for me at least. There are a number of reasons for why I don't enjoy this game, so I suppose I'll start with the lesser reasons and move on from there.

    Fallout 76 doesn't feel like Fallout. I have put 168 hours into Fallout 4, which was by the way my first Fallout game, and loved every second of time I put into that. I came into Fallout 76 expecting a similar game, but one that had enough differences that it would feel new and fresh. Sadly I was left disappointed. The world feels recycled, the quests feel meaningless and the gameplay feels generally boring and more of a chore than a fun time.

    I'll start with explaining how quests work. Basically, you're gonna be getting quests through a few different means, be it through a robot, a holotape or a note left by a long diseased character. But the reason I kept coming back to Fallout 4 and Skyrim is because of what the quest has to offer and how the quest offers it. Quests felt good to complete because they made it feel like you were helping someone, or having an effect on the world. Unfortunately, because there simply isn't any NPC human in this game, it feels like you are just running errands for robots or long gone characters, and it feels as if it has no effect on the world at all.

    Next, the world itself. Fallout 76 feels like a recycled version of Fallout 4, with some multiplayer sprinkled in for something "new". Every location I have visited in Fallout 76 felt like it had already been seen in Fallout 4. Even the distinct different parts of the map felt as if I had seen it before. Basically, Fallout 76's world just feels like Fallout 4, with real players rather than NPC's.

    Finally, the gameplay. Fallout 76 has nothing new to offer in the sense of gameplay other than the fact you can play with friends. Everything I have done in Fallout 76 felt boring. Exploring felt boring. Doing quests felt boring. Building a base was a bit or fun for a while but eventually felt boring. I did get a chance to play it for about an hour with a mate, and even that still felt repetitive and boring. The only way I can see anyone enjoying this game is through setting yourself your own goals, which is what games like this exist for. But when you feel as if the only way you can enjoy this game is by doing your own thing and ignoring the story/ side quests, the gameplay gets repetitive and boring really really quickly.

    Fallout 76 feels more like a chore to play. The only reason I have given it a 4/10 is because I did have some good fun in the first 4-ish hours I played it, but after that it just felt like I'd seen everything. I wanted to like this game, I really did, but it has let me down.

    Out of all the games I have played, this one has disappointed me the most.

When a non-PVP lv10 player gets instakilled by the nuke, and you take a full HP bar of rads in 5-10 seconds, you have no way to get back your loot drop or even survive (if you paid to fast travel in, and the FT icon was outside the blast zone, but instantly die from rads). C'mon Bethesda, expand the blast zone on the map to where it really stops. I wanted to like this game but it's really crap, and I'm out 40 bucks and 50GB data for a horrible experience. Expand

    1. The Beta should have showed them that this release was going to be horrible.
    2. There are all kinds of bugs with the GUI and the spawning of enemies and items. 3. I can't even break down and craft items because the entire menu system freezes. 4. Enemies spawn at different

    2. There are all kinds of bugs with the GUI and the spawning of enemies and items.
    3. I can't even break down and craft items because the entire menu system freezes.
    4. Enemies spawn at different levels and you can have enemies that are below you in level kill you with no problems. Or they spawn enemies that are so high above you that you can't even run away.
    5. They implemented a store for microtransactions that works better than the rest of the game. That tells you how much they cared about the main game.
    6. They tried to pull a Final Fantasy 14 or Street Fighter V by releasing a game that is not even finished.
    7. The VATS system doesn't work when zoomed.

    They need to give us our money back.

    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.
