    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.

    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    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.    … Expand

    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.    … Expand

Now with the review...

    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.

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.    … Expand

    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.
