Fallout 76

The first hour of this game may be fun, exploring this huge Appalachian wasteland. The map may be 4 times as big, but feels like it has half the content as fallout 4.

If you like listening to holotapes, NPCs (robots) talking AT you, instead TO you, then Fallout 76 is your game.

I've played every Bethesda game and every Fallout game.

After 30 hours of game play I can say this game isn't worth sixty dollars.

The story is limited to notes and recordings in a medium that's "Let the player do" instead of "Tell them what happen", normally that kind of story telling is an optional addition to the games experience.

Fallout 76 and Fallout 4 both have lore that goes against established cannon, retconning those previous games is disrespectful to the writers and developers of past games.

The PC edition launched without a number options typically found in sixty dollar triple A titles. From the options menu you cannot, turn off depth of field, bloom, god rays, bloom, change the Anti Aliasing settings, or set an ultra wide screen resolution. The strange thing is the game does support all those settings if you change them from the configuration files. However the normal user would have a difficult time figuring out how to go about that process. Bethesda omitted those options from the game for seemingly no reason.

After exploring the map, the size of which is one of the games few positives, the gameplay would consist of mostly building your camp and controlling public workshops. The building mode in the game while aggravating at times does work and is improved slightly from Fallout 4.

Other players from my experience will have voice chat turned off and will ignore you after a wave. After twenty hours of leaving my microphone on in hopes that I would make a lasting connection with someone I decided to turn it off so I could listen to an audio book without having to worry about others at all.

All of the good things in Fallout 76 can be better found in Fallout 4, and basically this game is Fallout 4 striped of it's substantial story elements and combined with the restrictions of a multiplayer game.

Fallout 76 was a horrible game in 2018 because of bugs and glitches and it was new at the time it was a online game and it's hard to make an online game good so it was Bethesda usually has a lot of glitches in their games so My cousin said to not play it because it's not good so I heard they fix the glitches in fallout 76 and the gameplay is great in 2021 but 2018 it was bad because of bugs and glitches and in 2020 I heard it is a great game to being a glitchy online game in 2018 to a fixed online game in 2021 I really enjoy it a lot it you like online games you will like fallout 76. I will give it a 8 of 10 because of the gameplay and you can play with other people in the world and I really like it to meet new people in the world but in 2018 it was a different story in 2018 I will give it a 2 out of 10 because of bugs and glitches and please people give the Developers a chance to fix the game and it can be some great in the future like fallout 76 I really like Bethesda fix the game quite a bit it's a different game now without most the bugs and glitches there was some in the game but not as many as in 2018 and this game is great one of the best online games by Bethesda.

Bethesda should stick to making single player games. Fallout 76 has numerous bugs/glitches and unappealing quests. It's basically an empty map and a pathetic shell of a Fallout game.

There seems to be a large amount of hatred towards this game. People are talking about how it's the worst Fallout in history and the worst game ever made in existence. I want to give an unbiased point of view on this and from about 60 hours of playing this game I can finally give my own opinion. It's just good, not great, nor is it bad either. There is a story that exists in this game, albeit, not as cinematically told as other Fallout games it is still there and not completely bad. I'd say it's maybe the same quality of Fallout 4's storyline just not told through living human NPC's. There are NPC's that exist in this game, some better than others. But the ones that are good have pretty decent dialogue that shouldn't be underestimated. The content that is in this game is pretty big and it seems odd to hear people say that there isn't as much stuff in this game in comparison to other Fallout games and I say that's just not true. In fact, there's almost an overwhelming amount of content in the game. On the topic of multiplayer I believe that it could have been implemented a bit better. The PVP aspects are buggy and don't really satisfy people that want a good PVP experience. But, the PVE experience with friends is something that can't really be captured by any other games. In fact, Fallout 76 does an amazing job at giving the feel of curiosity and happiness when you and your group of friends are discovering the Toxic Valley for the first time and have to fight a grafton monster. The world here is the biggest Fallout world to date with an extreme amount of diversity in creatures and things to fight with lots of loot. Gameplay-wise this Fallout is at it's peak in quality. But that's where it ends there, with the amount of performance issues and bugs and crappy end-game content it doesn't improve on anything besides just playing with friends. All in all, the game isn't as bad as people say it is but it's certainly not one of Bethesda's best games to date

TL;DR- The game has it's ups and downs, not nearly as bad as some say it is but it's not amazing either, quality of the game greatly increases when you play with friends but that's about it. One should buy it if it's on sale or if you have friends that want to play it.
