    Bethesda has taken a great series of games and ruined it with this latest release of FallOut. I have played them all since the release of the first FallOut, always trying to finish the game to 100%. Now they add this horrible version known as FallOut 76. It is indeed, the worst in the series I have played. This has ruined the FallOut saga for me.

    why bethesda...why would you do this to fallout. If there were NPCs and a richer immersive story, this could be the best game..hands down. RDR2 for the win.

    I'm a lifelong Fallout & Elder Scrolls fan, and have always extended the benefit of the doubt to Bethesda regarding buggy games because these are massive worlds and problems are to be expected. That is over now. I will never look at or treat Bethesda the same way again. From now on I will read reviews and watch videos of their games before I buy them, if I even do.

    My major problem with 76 is the server issues. And by "issues" I mean I can't even log in to the game most of the time. I work for a living and have extremely limited amounts of time to give to anything at all, including movies, TV shows & games. I do not have time to sit and try for a half hour, which has happened often, just to get into any server at all. Regularly I have to back out to the Home screen on my X, start up a different game, cancel out of that, and then I can get into 76. All of this is after the recent 50 GB day one patch & the next 50 GB update which was supposed to fix these issues.

    I simply do not have the time for this nonsense. I sold the game last night and will take that money and put it towards getting an older Back Compat game, or Red Dead 2. I do not tolerate anything wasting my time, and that's exactly what 76 did. And I paid $60 for Bethesda to waste my time, which is infuriating.

    Never again will I give Bethesda leeway for this stuff. And now they've also made me question what games are actually worth dropping $60 again at launch.

    Bethesda screwed up, big time.    … Expand

Glitches galore, unstable frame rates, major, MAJOR pop in, screen tearing, uneventful and stupid AI that goes from popping and spawning in anywhere they damn please to just freezing and looking at you at times in one place as you just pick them off. Remember NPCs? They are all gone. Now instead you have fetch quests. Even some as eventful as picking up a bottle...Instead of NPCs you are given quests through holo tapes and robots. What else is there to say about this game. Its a stripped down, dirty lazy, cash grab version of fallout. Its an online only, live service game with an outdated combat system that does not work in this online world. Dont let those people that spent their hard earn $60+ on this game and are defending it till no end and giving this game 10s fool you. Rent it first for yourself and make an educated decision before spending your hard earned money or just let Mommy and Daddy (grandma grandpa) buy it for you.

A shell of a fallout game. A wannabe fallout game. A vast wasteland devoid of any meaningful things to do while trying to earn your cash through putrid micro-transactions. Im sick of this excuse. "but you need to play it with friends, its fun with friends" A game should be fun on its own merit by yourself or with friends. Having more fun with friends is icing on the cake.

Controls are still Bethesda-style clunky and downright terrible when compared to most other games released today. It's a half-baked exploration game with a Fallout skin, and that's about as deep as the game goes. This feels like it would have been good on the last gen, but on its own and especially comparing to other games out now you could be buying, the case for Fallout 76 is pretty weak.… Expand

    This has to be a massive disappointment. I have played the Fallout series going back to 2008 when Fallout 3 was released.

Based on how all the previous Fallouts have sold, they didn't need to go in a different direction, Fallout sells. They should have made a traditional Fallout game that used the same engine as 4, and made it a spinoff like Fallout New Vegas. But instead they turn their back on their fan base, and appeal to a smaller crowd who doesn't play Fallout, just so they can milk microtransactions. I did not like playing Fallout 76, I can't get immersed in the game because there is no NPCs, and trying to read a terminal or note only to be getting shot at by another annoying gamer trying to pvp me. It's annoying, and is not Fallout.

Absolutely pathetic there’s micro transactions when we have a quarter of a Fallout game here. Now to ignore the knife Bethesda put in my back and review it as a game on its own it’s probably a 5 or 6. Typical buggy launch that can be expected of these games (Really was Skyrim any better on release?). Shooting feels clunky as always and Vats has been altered to work in real time but it looks and plays stupid. Missions and story are very stale without NPCs to bring them to life. Graphics really show their age against other games this year like RDR2. Creation engine is as outdated as Gamesbryo was for New Vegas (They still made it work better than this however). As an MMO it has very limited pvp options and safe guards anyone from losing anything of value. As a survival game it’s hit and miss, they put the need to eat and drink however items are rarely ever scarce and there’s no real repercussion when you die. Big map that can have immersive Fallout times when your exploring the landscape alone or with a friend. Random people ruin immersion and fun with their wacky pink hair and colorful power armour cussing profanity over the mic. This is a medicorce apocalyptic half MMO, half Free Roam Shootem Up survival type game. Hilarious how Forbes defends them while they are always the first ones to get press coverage regarding their games. Yeah that’s totally not corrupt.… Expand

Let's hope they succeed because I doubt I will ever bother running after them long enough to find out what happens next.

    Technology-wise, it is Bethesda at its *finest*. Bugs-galore. Performance is right out. I have an Xbox One X and when I say the game chugs along at 15-ish fps in public events I'm being generous. Couple that with the game not reacting under those conditions and you got a recipe for disaster. Forget firing your gun at mobs, or even moving, if it's not the terrain bogging you down it's the melee attacks of the mobs, which under 10-15fps you simply cannot outrun or move away from. Forget about getting a stimpack going and surviving, that's right out.

    If this game ran at 60fps or had better graphics on my Xbox One X I could see it as a technology demo but right now it is far from a demo of anything but mediocrity.

    This is not "Fallout with multiplayer", this is a multiplayer walking simulator with guns, in a Fallout world, nothing more.

    Give this one a pass. They can patch out all the bugs, even improve the performance, but I highly doubt they can ever make this game fun.    … Expand

    Second, this game is buggy even by Bethesda standards. It lags and glitches extremely often on every system. The Xbox one X is the worst though. Many people complain they have no audio, though I don't have this issue. The issue I and a ton of One X users have is an issue with "overheating". I put that in parenthesis because the system isn't actually overheating. It's a bug that shouldn't even be possible but Bethesda's legendarily bad programming has found a way. It happens most often when fast traveling or leveling up but can really happen at any time. I rarely play more than 20 minutes without the system shutting off and I've never played over an hour at a time.

    Youd think with reall old tech + 3 years development the game would at least be refined.

    I dont usually write bad reviews, however I had to make an exception for this trash heap. Fallout 76 might just be the worst AAA game of 2018. Buggy, dated, and boring with next to no enjoyment to be found. It is sad when a fan mod does better then a AAA release, will not be preordering from Bethesda again.

    If you enjoyed anything about the fallout series previously then you will most likely find nothing to enjoy here. Makes farm simulator 19 feel action packed. Don't really know how to review the story as one doesn't really exist.

    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.
