    By far the worst game iv ever played not just in bethesda but on the entire ps4 platform itself.. An obvious money grab. I purchased it for 15€ just to see if its as bad as i ultimatley knew it was going to be. 15 is too expensive for trash like this... I feel bad for anybody who spent 200 on power armour edition

    I played all fallout games and they were all amazing. I never expected this game to be the worst game I ever played. I tried giving it a chance but the glitches never stopped. The game does not have a good storyline and it was just a waste of money. I feel bad for the fans and who purchased the expensive packet. If I would have waited and see all the flaws, I would have never purchased this game.

    I feel this has become a solid game with a rough start and now it's just popular to hate it. I'm enjoying it almost as much as I have enjoyed other fallout games and feel the game has even improved in certain areas. This game will continue to grow and I'm excited about that because there will be new and evolving stories that hopefully keep the game fresh and interesting.

The missions almost everyone has a different feel to them. There is a lot to discover here and exploration is really rewarding. And I think the outdated graphics works in the games favor in this case giving it a cool retro art style that just makes a lot of sense. The environmental storytelling isn't the best though, but it is ok for now. My personal experience is almost an 8/10, but there are issues here and the graphics aren't up to date so I have to objectively score it a bit lower. They are still improving the game though and that score might rise with the introduction of human NPC's this fall. Expand

    This game needs work. A lot of work. The co-op in the game was a great idea. But Bethesda did it so poorly, I feel they will drop it completely and never attempt it again.

But Bethesda did it so poorly, I feel they will drop it completely and never attempt it again. But what went wrong was making it a mini MMO. Instead of an entire open world, they should have started off with 4 player co-op. Or 8 player co-op. This would have had the game running significantly smoother, with less errors and problems. And cut down a huge amount of problems they had. And would have been much more fun for the players. I was really looking forward to playing a Fallout with friends. But having to worry about other people ruining the world, made it all the harder to play.

    The PVP combat system is a little broken. And I will admit to trolling a little bit in the game using their broken PVP combat against them. I would stand in front of players until they hit me in order to force PVP. This is a cheese way, but hey, if this is the system they gave us, then we gotta utilize it.

    The biggest downfall was the amount of people who used exploits for duplication, and got carried away, crashing the servers. Bethesda wasn't prepared to handle the amount of glitches and errors within the game. They really should have brought on a more experienced team to help them. At least for the first year of the game.

    However, I really hope they don't give up with the co-op. I hope they learn from their mistakes, and try again. Better. And perfect the next attempt at co-op.

    This is definitely a must with friends. - Redownloaded it and I'm remembering all of my fallout 4 moments but with friends. 99% of the bugs I complained about initially are not there anymore and I'm enjoying exploring. The only thing I do not like is the micro transactions but that's just a small part of it. If you like fallout 4, give this guy another chance.

    This game, has it's bugs. This is true.
    But it is still o e of the best games out there today. Bethesda is known for glitchy games, it happens, it's no reason to hate it. If you can't handle a crash or glitch once or twice a day, then you need to learn more patience. Overall still a 10/10 and I am happy to put 12+ hrs a day 3 days a week into it without any negativity.

    War. War never changes. Expect for when it does, apparently...

    Fallout 76 departs from the series' single-player RPG roots in favor of online multiplayer. An idea I was initially onboard with as one thing that repeatedly entered my mind when playing Fallout 4 was how much fun it would have been to scour the wasteland with some friends by my side. Unfortunately a rough launch plagued by technical issues, server disconnections, exploits, controversy, and questionable design decisions (many of which are still around to this day) did a lot to sour my enjoyment of the game. Although, not enough to keep me from putting 191 hours into it.

    By far the most frustrating aspect of 76's gameplay is its far too restrictive crafting, gathering, and inventory management loop. Killing monsters, exploring the beautiful world of Appalachia, and completing quests can be a blast for a lot of the same reasons as the main entries. Not even a change to V.A.T.S (which now acts as a real-time lock-on system) can take away from the fact that the core action of the Bethesda Fallout series is a lot of fun. However, this enjoyment is hindered by having to almost constantly manage how much you're carrying both on your person and in your base's stash to ensure that you aren't over-encumbered while maintaining enough scrap parts to constantly repair your rapidly degrading gear. Even with several updates to help alleviate some of this frustration I still find myself having to make sacrifices that I'd rather not have to just to ensure that I can actually keep playing comfortably.

    Right now the game's biggest deficiency is a lack of end-game content. After completing the game's solid, but uninterestingly told main quest your only real option is to launch nukes, fight the Scorchbeast Queen, and farm legendaries for better loot. Essentially the game becomes even more of a repetitive grind just with no real goal in sight anymore other than collecting more stuff. To make matters worse these are also rather tedious tasks. The amount of hoops you have to jump through to even launch a nuke make doing so a nightmare and the Queen battle itself just exemplifies how awful it is to fight flying enemies in this game. They're unappealing options that I found did little to incentivize me to return after hitting level 100 and collecting every trophy. Although, plenty of other people have not had that problem. I've seen a lot of players level 200 and up.

    So if 76 has all these issues (and more), then why have I and so many others kept returning for hours on end? For me it's the world. Appalachia is by far the best map in any Fallout game to date and one of the best in any open-world game currently on the market. It's comprised of several distinctive regions allowing for a great deal of diversity in the kind of locales you'll visit. Bethesda has filled every inch with secrets and stories to uncover. The lack of NPCs is questionable for a variety of reasons, but it allows the environmental storytelling to shine like never before. Plus it really sells the feelings of isolation and danger in trying to carve out a place for yourself in a world where life has moved on. Something that, for me, makes all the quests and activities a little more interesting.

    Fallout 76 is definitely a flawed game. There are still a lot of glitches and cheaters remaining, Bethesda's behind-the-scenes work is often shaky at best, and in an effort to please both longtime Fallout fans as well as the online survival gamers this is clearly trying to appeal to a lot of conflicting systems are in place that make things like PVP seem absolutely pointless. Yet in spite of this there is a certain charm to this. The main draw of player choice may have been removed, but several of the other appealing aspects of Fallouts 3 and 4 are still in place allowing for at least a modicum of entertainment if you're willing to be a little forgiving. No one can blame you if you aren't though. Even a lot of the diehard 76 fans will admit this game needs more work. However, even in the face of all its sins I still found myself playing it long enough to get that platinum trophy, and look forward to seeing what it grows into in the years to come.

It's a blast to play - the amount of content, world complexity and general fun coming from this game honestly cannot be compared to no other vidya.

    I'm still going strong several months after release. I've played Fallout 76 far more than any other Fallout game. There were no doubt some issues at launch, but the game has taken way more abuse than is justified. The updates since launch have added a lot of cool new features and ways to play.

    I'm looking forward to the new additions coming out throughout the year.

    I tried to love this game despite its many flaws. I like the world, the Fallout vibe is sure present. The game is long, and in some ways decently detailed, but that is at the cost of very repetitive quests (Fedex quests make 80% of the game easily).

    I bought it mainly because it offers full coop gameplay. The game kept its promise on that aspect and you have to concede that to its devs.

    I bought it mainly because it offers full coop gameplay. The game kept its promise on that aspect and you have to concede that to its devs. Unfortunately, it is what probably justifies a disastrous frame rate. Add to that many visual glitches and bugs.

    I hung in there and tried to finish the main story but the last mission is such a mess! Throughout the whole game you are given straightforward quests where following the objectives is sufficient to progress, but of course for the very last (long & ammunition-hungry) quest, if you don’t anticipate a little by reading stuff on the internet you’ll fall in the trap and have to replay the whole thing. This is just an example to depict how messy F76 can be. So are many other quests, or some gameplay elements like the Pip-Boy inventory or the weapon switches which are everything but fluid. These contribute to making the game very heavy and annoying to play.

    F76 was full of potential. I will keep good memories of it thanks to its cool and good-looking world & to its – mostly effective – coop system, but also bad memories because of its many flaws that I tried to summarize. I hope the devs will learn and someday release a new game keeping all the good elements this game had to offer.

    Definitely didn't expect this from Bethesda. The game has a few unique perks of it's own and what it's aiming to do is ambitious but it severely lacks care. The quality is passable and mediocre at best- the frame rates are in-consistent, the combat is alright, and the graphics are bland with lots of visual glitches, and the world can be only defined as quantity over quality.

    Fallout 76 is a disappointment in every possible way. All you do is walk around and pick up items and kill stuff. There is an almost non-existent story told through audio logs. This just goes against everything the Fallout Franchise stands for. If Bethesda really wanted to make an online Fallout game they could have just added optional coop to a Fallout. Also don't get me started with the bugs.

    Got code as gift in shop and played it just to see if this is so bad as people tell. And yes this is very bad game. And they was asking for it 60 bucks ... and even now asking for money for their premium club or whatever. Bethesda was great once, and it getting worse every year, Fallout 4 was not the best also, but this one is just Abuse to fans.

    This game is pretty much average with it being a reskin of Fallout 4. The problem with this game is the leveling design that if you're at a low level and wondering into a Scorched area, you may die because of a level 6 Scorch wanderer.

And if you decide to wonder around, you can get pretty quick with a high level enemy. I think this game needed an offline mode with possible co-op (mainly singler player) and the online mode for multiplayer. I think though the CAMP build should've been something preset so that way players don't feel limited on what to build. The blueprints part to build is also odd since I don't remember having to do that for Fallout 4. So in a sense, this game felt like a step backwards and I hope the next Elder Scrolls game doesn't suffer due to the mistakes with this game. One last thing is the Atomic Shop as well, it is poorly made. Expand

Time and time and time again Bethesda has released buggy, low quality, shambling monstrosities called "video games", with Fallout 76 being the culmination of how wretched they can be. Deceptive marketing and other promotional products, a money-grubbing micro transaction store, newly introduced pay-to-win micro transactions, and multiple year old bugs from Fallout 4 being introduced in new patches?

    Nothing about this game was finished, which would make sense, as Bethesda had their B-team on it. For such an ambitious project, only the best in the industry should've been around for it, not the shovelware-tier developers. Development could have continued into Q1 or Q2 of 2020, and I still have doubts that any level of polish would've made its way to 76.

    Countless videos and essays and articles have been written, however, Joseph Andersons' pair of videos ((If you care to have THREE ENTIRE HOURS of bug reviews, plus his full format review)) for the issues with Fallout 76 itself, as well as Internet Historians' video covering everything surrounding 76 are excellent ways to recap everything wrong with modern Bethesda.

    Illegal conduct in the means of marketing, illegal conduct in the means of negligence, illegal conduct in the means of customer deception, as well as inconsistent return policies, and this threadbare, duct-tape-and-bubble-gum excuse for a "video game" leave only one option. Bethesda is never to be trusted to produce a product of quality, instead, a train wreck, to point and laugh at out of morbid entertainment.

I really rated Fallout 3, Fallout 4 was good, Fallout 76 started off terribly and seemed sort of pre-release standard (Bethesda seem to do this all the time). Fallout 76 has had several updates and DLC added which have transformed the game for me, yes there are still a few bugs but now there are separate servers for PVE and PVP and another for the new Battle Royal aspect. As I am not unemployed or a student I find the missions and content enough to keep me busy within the game as a single PVE oriented player. I have enjoyed base building, farming, trading (via vending machines), getting and upgrading power armour, tackling the ghouls,scorched, mutants and many other creatures in the game. Some of my best experiences have been casually interacting with other players. I am not in a group or a clan and normally play alone, however the Fallout 76 community is very good; there are some idiots, spoiled little kids and dicks as in any on-line game but in general mostly everyone I have met has been friendly. My first interaction was whilst building a base as a level 10, a level 100 guy came to see what I was up to and gave me some tips and a really good weapon. Later another guy saw me selling junk at Morgan Town Station at level 20 and said if I helped him collect some items he would help me out as he liked helping new players. He showed me new areas on the map, made and gave me under armour, power armour and upgraded weapons and ammunition, that experience changed my play. I am now level 100+ with upgraded T51-b and X-01 power armour and can tackle a scorch-beast (though it's still better with a second player) , on a casual basis I give food, water, weapons and hopefully some help to newer players I meet as the community did this for me. Those previous experiences changed the game for me. There are voice comm's in game so you can interact and If there's an annoying kid, gang of dicks or total ass on the sever, server hop, there's plenty other servers but in my experience those sorts are few and far between. The Fallout community was, and is more than just the actual game. I for one am enjoying Fallout 76, the updates and DLC just add more for my enjoyment but I guess at the end of the day it boils down to what type of game/experience you were looking for. In my opinion if you want instant gratification and pay-to-win this is not the game for you. If you want to PVE with casual player interaction at your choosing then this is the game for you, with the added bonus of PVP and Battle Royal servers if you fancy a go at that. Expand

    The metacritic-reviews that defend this game or give it 10/10 suffer from one of the things that have bothered me the most when playing Fallout 3 - 76 as well as Skyrim. Why not settle with something realistic such as you either be the leader of the Dark Brotherhood or head of the Companions or Arch-mage. Or why not just Joe Schmoe in a big world of wonder?

    Yeah, I know; it sounds stupid but in an fantasy-world it's unrealistic that you are the chosen one as well as the leader of any organization you happen to stumble across. And it's totally unrealistic that anyone who has played any AAA-title in the last five years actually thinks this booooring mess is actually really good unless you are paid to say otherwise.

    Sadly it has (at least for now) made me grow totally tired of all them. I've uninstalled both Skyrim and Fallout 4 from my ps4 and doubt I'll ever play anything from Bethesda again... :(

    Сразу скажу, что игру до конца, если он, конечно, есть, я не прошел. Понял только одно: Bethesda решила сделать свой World of Warcraft и стричь с терпил деньжата, при этом особо не заморачиваясь, на протяжении многих лет.
    Только они ошиблись, на таком говне нужно было начинать стричь бабло лет 15 назад, подсаживать лохов с 5 летнего возраста, которые и сейчас в свои 25 лет продолжают скупать все, что касается WoW.
    А теперь на такой графон, такой геймплей и т.д. много не наловишь. Времена изменились. О чем красноречиво говорят оценки!
    Сегодня вышло дополнение 1.36 Wastelanders. Говорят сильно меняет игру. Скачаю, попробую. Изменит ли это моё мнение.........посмотрим!
    Была говном, говном осталась. Теперь вместо роботов задания могут выдать живые нпс. Всё!
    Дополняю свой отзыв по игре уже в третий раз за 2 года. После всех вышедших патчей в этот раз продержался в игре часов 40 к ряду.
    Что сказать. Ну систему прокачки немного доработали, чаще выпадают нужные карты, а не всякий хлам. Так же немного докачали VATS, хотя он здесь и убогий, но часто использую его по мелким целям, в которые трудно целиться, вроде работает.
    В остальном же игра невероятно коряво выглядит. Я не знаю как такое можно было сделать после Fallout 4 ( хотя и там не фонтан), но почти все враги, почти всегда передвигаются не двигая ногами, что касается всяких собак и волков то они вообще тупо левитируют над землёй. Выглядит просто ужасно. Попадания по противникам иногда могут не защитываться несколько секунд.
    Рожи у нпс стали выглядеть намного хуже чем в четвёрке. Освещение вообще с ума сходит, либо не видно не хрена, либо после включения фонарика всё засвечивается, да так, что все предметы сливаются. Ведь игра HDR поддерживает! Где он?
    И в конце концов игра просто скучна. Все до единого задания это: пойди найди, пойди убей, пойди принеси. Исключения есть, но их крайне мало.
    Вообще по игре бегают прокачанные до 200 - 300го уровня мудаки и мешают жить всем подряд, то начинают дубасить по тебе без остановки, то c.a.m.p. твой закрывают, то орут в чате как одержимые. Всё это конечно не критично, но сильно бесит. Почему модераторы не борятся с этим говном?
    Это провал.

    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.
