    So disappointed in Bethesda. They had the opportunity to make a great game and gave us a sandbox. I cannot imagine they put as much time and effort into this game as they did the previous games in the series. I was seriously looking forward to this game and having the urge to return a Fallout game kills me.

    This game is absolutely terrible. Everything about, from the bugs to gameplay. Absolutely bad. Everything they promised at E3 was thrown down the drain. But hey, At least they earned an Award. The 3rd most discussed game of 2018. Don't take it as a nice title, Todd.

    One of the worst gaming experiences I've ever had. After the disappointment that was Fallout 4, I was hopeful a complete change in style and execution could turn things around for this franchise, but this game is a total disaster; it's barely a game.

    One of the worst gaming experiences I've ever had. After the disappointment that was Fallout 4, I was hopeful a complete change in style and execution could turn things around for this franchise, but this game is a total disaster; it's barely a game.

    Where do I begin? It feels like an unfinished demo, or an Alpha version of a game that still has years of work left to go into it. The "quests" are monotonous and repetitive fetch quests which just have you going from computer terminal to computer terminal, listening to holotape after holotape and it never gets more interesting than that.

    The horrid, amazingly awful crafting system from 4 has been double downed on here, and makes a gloriously abysmal return to the franchise. I was really hoping to see less crafting in Fallout moving forward, or at least have it be made totally optional, but once again Bethesda is forcing us to experience their "Open World MMORPG" their way, not our way.

    This studio seems to have lost the plot. I really don't think they understand what made their previous games so successful, and what fans are looking for in their gameplay experience. I played this game twice before deciding to return it for a full refund (thankfully I ordered a physical copy).

    Another major flaw with the game is the fact that you cannot avoid trolls. Trolling is to be expected on any online game, but when you're trying to complete a quest, and a higher level player keeps spawn killing you, where is the fun in that? It's impossible to make any progress, and turns the game into a frustrating, exhausting experience.

    They have a "Pacifist Mode" which when activated, makes you totally defenseless to other players. I'm not kidding, literally you can still be attacked, but you are not able to harm any other players with the mode turned on. Someone, anyone, tell me the point of this feature. I really don't get it. It's maybe the most confounding feature of any video game I've ever played. A feature designed to make yourself an easier target, instead of blocking attacks from other players.

    These are just a few examples of how disastrously awful this game is. And it adds insult to injury that in less than two weeks of the game being released, it went on sale for nearly half the price, when I paid full price for this junk, along with many other players. Bethesda is quickly losing my faith and respect, and I'm very cautious and scared about Elder Scrolls 6 at this stage. DO NOT BUY THIS GAME. You'll thank me for it.

    Thank Christ i had the foresight to see through this parade of bullfaeces from Bethesda, i never personally bought the game - for obvious reasons, after the release of fallout 4 which was overall meh, i was actually wanting to give F76 a chance and had planned to buy this game at Xmas time, however after seeing this buggy, half finished, PR nightmare, community being lied too, game devoid of any interesting story telling content or actually any fun at all, id rather faeces in my hands and clap.

    Ive been a Elder scrolls/Fallout player since Elder Scrolls 5 and have always looked forward too and been so overly indulged in these game am actually physically stunned at how spastic and autistic this game truly is, I honestly hope the company gets the huge lawsuit that they are so about to receive very very soon.

    Lastly a hope the community will unite and see how much we were all lied too by Bethesda, using the fallout title and skin and creating a new fallout game does not make a defining game to last the decades, also as a computing programmer myself i understand how difficult it is to create games such as these - its some serious space age faeces people, however this product was rushed for release to compete with the likes of RDR2, which failed worse than the Portuguese polices attempt to find maddy, shocking display Bethesda you should be Fkn ashamed, deserve all the hate that you have received and are still about to receive.

    The game overall is incomplete, has no story, no end game content and Bethesda makes a great effort micromanaging it's player base: -Fully repaired weapons would break after first shot -Mutations we're disabled and only provided a negative effects -I was locked off from getting certain build plans -Low level

    -Friend was banned because I blew up a low level griever

    Fallout 76 is such a terrible abomination that shouldn't have been released in the state it is/was. Buggy, visually displeasing worse than Fallout 4 and the frame rate is the worst I've ever seen in video games for awhile. The world is void of life, PvP is pointless and the servers or what Bethesda call "dedicated servers" are awful and have took me out of the game many times. Quests are just fetchfests with no meaning or cause and there's no story in this game at all. No NPC's just crappy holotapes that no one focuses on. This game is just a shamble and shouldn't be £49.99 at this stage of it's development. It should be more half that if not £20 early access garbage that creeps around lately. I have nothing good to sat about this game. Bethesda need to innovate and either update their game engine or make a new one as their games look like things (Apart from F04) from PS3/X360 era. Developers need to stop shipping half finished games, then promise to fix the problems within 1-2 years when most of the player base has moved on. We want the product we're promised and support on day 1 then you may have the right to bring DLC/expansions to add game time. Players deserve more when the fact developers are able to make video games in the first place or sequels is thanks to the consumers.

    Overall this is the worst game I've ever played.

In the case of Fallout 76 I am inclined to agree with the masses, the game is quite frankly dreadful. As high as our expectations are of the holders of the sacred Fallout universe, so are the new lows achieved by this production.

    From the clunky design logic to the tedious game-play, I cannot fathom a rescue for this title. Glitches are no longer a source of humor when they utterly and completely destroy the experience at large. MP for the sake of MP is absurd. “Misery loves company” is not a valid game experience platform. From the very start, it seems to be a beta posing as a final release. The producers are more or less demanding 100% dollars for 25% game.

    As a manager of software development teams I can assure you that multiple trains went off of numerous rails during the FO76 SDLC. I would surely love to see the integration test construct that was utilized (or wasn’t as the case may be). Does anybody at Bethesda understand UX? Clearly bad decisions were made from one end of the spectrum to the other. Most often, abysmal failures can turn into great opportunities. BGS has produced top-notch products in the past, here’s hoping they return to what made them great.

    Following a server crash in early December I have now been unable to connect to the servers for 2 months & Bethesda support has been useless & often going in little circles. Every update I am sent back to square one with the customer support or told to ask the retailer for a new game code as Bethesda are not responsible for issues with codes purchased through a third party.
    The Game is awful & should be pulled, the customer service is worse. In order to get a refund I am now seeking legal advice as the game is not fit for purpose, is not as originally advertised & does not meet the promises made by Bethesda over graphics quality. The gaming engine is the same as fallout 3 & is very outdated, Bethesda are trying to milk a cow that died years ago.
    Avoid the game unless you like wasting money.

Almost every time I do so much as loot a toolbox the game either crashes or throws another game breaking bug my way forcing me to restart my game. I can’t believe Bethesda can be this disrespectful and untrustworthy toward their dedicated consumers. If I could rate this lower than a zero I would. Even nearly one year after launch and the glitch pile just gets bigger and bigger and hardly any content has been added other than a poorly designed battle royale, some useless quest items, and display cases that can barely fit most things to put in them. Worse than Anthem by far. 0/10. Expand

    If you defend fallout 76 you truly are desperate i am not sure where you went wrong. Some people say they will fix it and, yah sure they have by introducing a $100 dollar subscription. Even that they some how f*cked. I really don't have hope they will introduce NPC's because they already are delaying it more and f*cking more.

    Anyone giving this game an 8, 9 or 10 is being incredibly disingenuous.

    It's a Fallout game that hardly anyone asked for, it launched as a broken, buggy, half-baked mess, it is overtly monetized and despite all of the player feed back and promises made to the player base, Bethesda have continually shot themselves in the foot with this game and have betrayed the trust of their audience

    The servers are incredibly unstable and drop connections frequently. The VATS system is shoe-horned in and is an absolute joke. The story and endgame are an incredibly watered-down version of what a Fallout story should be like, with a lot of survival crafting getting in the way.

    It's clear Bethesda do not care about the Fallout IP anymore. If they can't be bothered to develop an even half-way decent Fallout title, then they don't deserve your money.

    Yo empecé con la franquicia de Fallout con Fallout 4, cuando fue anunciado con Xbox game Pass, después me pasé Fallout 3 y pensando que Fallout 76 iba a ser un buen juego (habían muchos Youtubers que decían que este juego era bueno y que no hiciésemos caso de las antiguas reseñas , que todo había cambiado con las actualizaciones ,algo que no fue así) y me lo compre como por 12 EUR.

    I bought all the original fallout games back on the pc and all the elder scrolls games. Bethesda has become a trash company like EA caring more about micro transactions than their customers.

    DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY ON THIS BUGGY PIECE OF TRASH.

    Well done bethesda for ruining what used to be a respectable company.

    This is one of the worst games I’ve ever played. The story is a joke the gameplay is a joke. The fact this can get officially released is a sought of how everything with gaming has gone down hill. Todd Howard has sinned to much to be accepted into meme culture.

    Truly dreadful game. Actually killed my life long enjoyment of the Fallout series and with not so much as an apology or a mea culpa from anyone at Bethesda or ZeniMax. Disgusting to blame thousands of game, console and server breaking bugs on "bugs". Wasn't comfortably playable for a year after it's release and then it was still deeply unenjoyable.
    Disgusted to see obvious Bethesda bots

    Honestly doubled back to give this review because after 2 years I'm still angry and hurt my favourite game company blatantly ripped off its most loyal fanbase.
    Side Note; I have a conspiracy theory you guys did it on purpose so nobody would question why Fallout has been rereleased in China-only with no mention of 'the war'

When I was in the Marines coming back form Afghan I would dream about playing New Vegas. I still replay all of them even F4. But this game is nothing but a horrible money grab wanting subscriptions and people to buy skins. I just watched Tod Howard interview saying they know its bad and they want to make it better. Bu this is NOT what the fans want. I'm so scared that there will never be a good fallout ever again because they will be based on micro transition and you spending more money on stupid stuff instead of giving a high quality game like fallout NV and fallout 4. It makes me angry and sad what the company is becoming. I just want to play a single player RPG that is fallout and not asking me to pay more money to enjoy it better. I'm ok with paying for FINISHED DLCs for single player games. Hell I liked the concept of creation club because I thought we would see some DLC size mods but that was a lie to. I want fallout back. I want single player games back. I want to not walk back to a area I was just at and have creatures spawn back because someone I don't care about is in the same area and needs to fight the. I feel like they truly do not care about the reviews or thoughts of their fans and truly says in meeting **** them" because that's how it feels. It feels like we are getting ****ed and just like elder scrolls they will basically forces you to use the game because they wont create a new game that is not trying to take your money and is truly a single player game. I beg you Bethesda as someone who fought for this country and truly loves the fallout games STOP. Bring back what we love and stop trying to get more money from us. If you want more money make more DLC's, remaster the classics, support madders and again stop trying to get more money from us with microtransactions. Expand

    Another **** cash grab by Bethesda. The only reason to play this game over fallout 4 is because of the multiplayer. I would pick fallout 4 any day over this as it doesn't suck me into quests. Fallout 4 also has good factions rather than you being solo other than the online.

    But it’s hard to feel as if you’re truly affecting the world when there are no NPCs to express satisfaction or disdain, or to be directly influenced by your actions. Even killing feels hollow. Some of my best battles in Fallout 4 came when I stumbled across an outpost and found there a raider in there; he’d yell and scream at me as we were facing off. The Scorched, while armed, feel like nothing more than zombies.

    The addition of multiplayer feels as though it comes at the expense of Fallout’s memorable story-driven moments. What good is a vast map full of players if they're given little to no purpose? When no other players are around, the game’s world feels almost empty. The attention-grabbing locales and landmarks add to Appalachia's charm, but it's difficult to not wish for living, breathing characters to inhabit it. Post-apocalyptic West Virginia is described as a wasteland, and this term paints an inadvertent but accurate picture of what Fallout 76 is right now.

    If you enjoy multiplayer games of this type and are willing to overlook the engine anomalies, you may find yourself rapidly addicted to the game's exploration density and loot systems. If you're easily frustrated by bugs and issues, you may want to sit tight a bit to see what Bethesda does to polish things up, cus oh boy, it could use a bit right now. If you're a fan of the single player, branching narrative the series is known for, you'll want to wait for Fallout 5.
