    Yeah I really want to pay $100 so that I can have unlimited storage, even though Bethesda claimed that unlimited storage would crash the game.

    For an online post apocalyptic game, this is a blast! Very easy, a bit too easy since all I do is sneak and slice enemies with a bloodied ski sword. More entertaining than Fallout 4 IMO!

    So seriously Bethesda... what the f**k? Is this how you treat your fans, your loyal customers? With pathetic cash grabs riddled with bugs and with a side of microtransactions as well? And what about the "No. Only Cosmetic" promise for loot boxes that Pete Hines stated on Twitter and other empty promise Todd Howard made?
    You have become a meme of the gaming industry and you seem like you

    You have become a meme of the gaming industry and you seem like you have no friggin' clue about what you're doing... Such a shame, you are losing credibility by the day and you're not doing anything to amend the situation.
    Regarding the game, it's simply a mess, don't bother with it, don't waste your time, there are still (fortunately) many better games out there, I would not recommend this game to anyone.

    The idea surrounding this game if very enticing, but as more updates are released the pay to win aspect is getting far to intrusive.

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

    It's very.... meh. I was so excited for this game, and i think as most will agree what we got after the initial hype was a huge huge let down. I just don't get how it ended up so wrong. The whole MMO idea was great, but by removing EVERY human NPC (unless it's a dead body) was a really really bad idea, as reflected in the quest line, which is absolutely terrible.

The whole MMO idea was great, but by removing EVERY human NPC (unless it's a dead body) was a really really bad idea, as reflected in the quest line, which is absolutely terrible.

    The level of initial bugs was embarrassing, and this reflected in the game play. It was incredibly hard to play at times, with bugs like invisible enemies, environments not rendering, and quest lines not triggering correctly to name a few.

    The map is fantastic, like awesome. It's huge, you'll never run out of places to find, it's really nicely designed, and just a very interesting place to explore. With a huge variety of environments and terrains, it's a really nicely done aspect of the game. It's just a huge shame the rest of the game lets the experience down.

    I personally found that leveling up takes an absolute age... especially with boring repetitive quests, that don't really feel like they have any depth or interest at all. (Such as, find these objects, bring them here, or escort this robot to this location sort of quest) Like i've sunk 3 days of solid gameplay into it now somehow, and i'm not even level 50 yet. The special / perk system is also absolutely terrible. Fallout 3 had it perfect, Fallout NV improved on it, Fallout 76 took everything good about it and emptied it into a bin. It's a clunky confusing mess that really hinders your characters progression.

    Item condition is back, which means your guns are now essentially made of paper apparently, with them breaking constantly. On the flip side, quite cool how condition has been applied to cooked food items / organic foods, as they can go off and spoil if not eaten in time.

    The soundtrack (as in the atmospheric exploring music) is also great. Visuals are great, from landscapes to guns.

    Overall, this game could've been absolutely amazing. It's just a shame it was botched so badly, meaning we got a really unsatisfying entry to what is a fantastic franchise. Can be fun if played with a few friends, but it gets tiring pretty quickly.

    I feel like although this had a bad launch, in a few months they’ve been able to turn this game around.

    The story is interesting (and even more so with the return of NPC’s in future DLC), gameplay works like any other BGS game, other players are the friendliest I’ve met in an online game and the map is huge, 40 levels in I’ve barely seen anything. The game isn’t perfect by any means, but

    Bugs aside it's a great game with a tonne of stuff to do, content is added at a decent pace and BGS regularly communicates with the community, showing a lot more care and effort than most other developers who are actually experienced with online multiplayers.

    I bought this game on release and stopped playing about 1-2 weeks after release. This was because of all the issues, bugs, and glitches and just not a fun game experience. I will watch reviews but typically I still like to form my own opinion of games. Fast forward 8 months post E3, I had been following the game and it’s roadmap, but the biggest thing that got me to try the game againI bought this game on release and stopped playing about 1-2 weeks after release.

Fast forward 8 months post E3, I had been following the game and it’s roadmap, but the biggest thing that got me to try the game again was the Wastelander DLC announcement. So I decided to try and give the game another chance and to be honest I’m glad that I did. It’s not perfect right now there needs to be some balances to the game but it sure seems to be running a lot more stable. I’m only halfway through the story but I have to say I’m really enjoying the game play and the changes from the DLC and patches. I defiantly look forward to the Wastelander DLC so I plan on finishing the story before that. Also Nuclear Winter is surprisingly very fun even though every game is throwing in a Battle Royal. It’s quick matches and fun to be in the fallout universe. Right now I would say the game is at a 7/10 with all the changes so I hope when the new DLC comes out it will make the game a 9/10 or 10/10, as well as bring in some of the choices and consequences that make Fallout one of my favorite RPG universes.

    Really fun and has improved greatly since launch. When you open Fallout 76, you never know what you'll encounter. From raiders to the elusive sheepsquatch, every time you play is an adventure.

    This game was nearly unplayable at launch. Since launch, though, it has become the game it should have been at release through the benefit of numerous updates. It has gone from a buggy, glitchy mess to a solid MMO. It may not be a perfect 10/10 but the rating should reflect what the game is now and not how it was at release.

    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.
