Here are my own personal thoughts and opinions I would like to add to the mix, having played since the horrible launch back in 2018.
Content-wise, the original pre-Wastelanders MSQ is actually pretty enjoyable and fun to go through, having done it four times I always had a lot of fun. I've even met people who say that it is one of the best environmental storytelling they have seen in games. Wastelanders was well received for obvious reasons, and the Brotherhood updates - Steel Dawn and Reign - I found to be better than I'd thought they'd be.
However, being an online multiplayer game, 76's true strength should lie within the multiplayer aspect of the game - the events, bosses, online modes like DO and Expeditions. It is mixed. The community itself is one of the best I have been a part of, everyone is chill and casual, and I have met many friends on it that I thought I never would, and more so when I interact with the streamers. Daily Ops has gotten to the point where I need to turn my brain off to do. But Expeditions I particularly love as it is 76's version of dungeons from MMOs; going through a map to do some objectives and can be quite challenging if done solo, I love Expeditions or at least its concept and would like to see more modes and maps added to it in the future, the only downside I can have for it is the exhausting grind for Stamps and the lack of an actual boss near the end.
Never spent a penny of Fallout 1st and other than micro-managing my stash I never had an issue, so that is entirely optional. Do I see the benefits? Yes, but having quit WoW last year, I don't want to get into a another subscription-based game for a long time.
In all, 76 is a game meant for fun to be had playing with other people at your own pace, and it does well; I have seen new players stream it on Twitch and they end up having fun, some of whom gave it another shot after playing it at launch. IMO it needs more multiplayer content, thus that's why I want Expeditions to be expanded upon like I said previously. I would like a new story update, but unless it ends in a multiplayer boss fight like the vanilla and Lying Lowe questlines did, a story update will only keep people playing until they power through and rush it then stop for the next story update afterwards, which considering the track record will take another 1-2 years to implement. Is 76 worth trying? Definitely, but only if you've been wanting to play it for a while now or if you saw it was on sale. Otherwise, play a different game, no point wasting money, time, and effort in a game for more than 2+ hours only to complain; I have done it a few times and it doesn't feel good.
TLDR: On a scale of 1-10, how much do you want to play/try Fallout 76?
8+: Play it
7: Wait until it's on sale, it drops down to $10 and honestly that can be a steal whether it be 76 or not
6-: Don't bother
That aside, great video Uranium, your format of the video is akin to a game journalist converting their article into video form
We need this comment pinned!
You touched on many points I wanted to raise already. I'm noob to this (lvl 72) and I love it. The community *is* awesome, you are so right about this, almost so as Guild Wars 2's is, which has a huge female player-base which counts towards this, I believe. Living in NZ I see a lot of Japanese players on the servers I hit. They are also very helpful, and selfless and even tho we don't speak on the chat you can sense their habitual politeness and kindness oozing thru the server, lol. This comment you made deserved the pinning. 👍🏽
@@Theodisc Just stared playing this last April and can't stop. I tell people on IGN this game is a masterpiece and I get laughed at. Haha But no game has had me so engaged IN years like Fallout 76.
@@alexsaraceno6144 It is easy to get laughed at tho' on IGN. When comments number in the thousands and people are mostly faceless then it becomes impersonal and at times even ungenial. I'm so loving the game. I'm trying to get to having 1-2 shot kills on regular enemies, like I see most high level players do in *Spin the Wheel* (lol). I'm watching guides on here and gaining my legendary perk cards slowly. I'll get to the right build for this eventually. 👍🏽People should be more pragmatic and give the game a go, esp. if they sit on IGN 😁
@@Theodisc Dude, I'm still learning this game. It's insane. Loving it.
Fallout 76 is good but I want Fallout 5 and Elder Scrolls VI already. Skyrim is 12 bloody years old, and Fallout 4 is 8. It's time for new ones lol
Unfortunately the single player games take time so Starfield and Elder Scrolls VI are ahead of Fallout 5. Probably won’t be for a very long time?
@@UraniumFever76 bethesda most likely won’t make the next fallout since ms now owns them so probs won’t b as bad of a wait
@@EP_mc Bethesda is owned by ms, so 'they will make' the next games. They are working on the engine, basics, so it's not a buggy shitshow on release. Engine reworks take a long time. With Bethesda experience and Ms knowhow and resources we'll get a very good and polished fallout game. Have faith
@@Llkc60 my faith rests on starfield bro,
fallout 4 was a fun game but terrible rpg, 76 is well 76😂
Just want a modern fallout with nv quality writing and mechanics
Will say tho starfield does look much improved rpg mechanics compared to previous titles
With this being the PlayStation Plus game for January, this video was INCREDIBLY helpful getting an idea of the game for new players. Thank you!
Hey bud glad the video helped! Hope you are enjoying the game 👊🏻
Same reason I'm here. Thx for the amazing video
@@Dru229 no problem mate! I’ve actually posted a beginners guide for the early game - made a new character to show some tips and tricks for new players 👊🏻
im about to download this now lol
@@Digestedbacon66 when I got it and loaded it up today for the first time it crashed 5 times before I got out of the starting vault
I love hearing a down to earth in depth look at the value of this game and the encouragement of adding new players in the community
Thank you mate! Wanted to give it a fair reflection. Still waiting to see how this year will pan out with new content though!
I started playing a week before the removal of legacy weapons, the before and after of that was genuinely great. The legacy weapons would turn Boss events into second long affairs for one player, now you get to see everyone in the server fighting together to take on the same boss. It's fun to have those dynamic multiplayer moments in a game that's very solitary.
thats great to hear. im only just getting back into it since i quit 2 years ago
@@vadimnimarov8796the game for me is a daily log in trade my legendary and get scrip and cash out the vendor log out repeat until I am able to run again.
I think that they had a missed opportunity with the vaults for long term story telling. Rushing them with the ill-fated vault raids and nuclear winter kind of ruined at least 3 of the 4 other vaults in 76 (94, 51, one other I think but can't remember) that could have been utilized somewhat more how 79 and 96 were introduced through storyline content. At least there's still 63. They've run out of map space, and I'm not super into the idea of completely reworking an area. But that's just me.
Considering this game is meant to contest with the likes of destiny, a game not really known for its story but loot mechanics and boss arenas, really only a matter of time the fallout skin drabbed over it wears off and the game falls short of being a post apocalypse rpg but a looter shooter
@@joshjonson2368 you mean destiny as in Bungie? It's all about story 😭😂
@@renaboo2122 haven't played any destiny, maybe it has more of a story than 76. That game had a far better launch after all and didn't make its customers wait years for overhaul patches 🤷♂️
@@joshjonson2368honestly wouldnt mind that, they could expand the map or add new maps you can travel to for content that doesnt fit on the map, just cause its a different style of game doesnt mean its bad, thats why it dont follow the same naming scheme
@@chrisJordan-xb9wc we'll have to wait and see what Todd Howard has planned I guess, he seems to be more wary of making the same errors as other more soulless triple A companies
The way the game is now is the way it should’ve released. It is more worth it if you’re more of a single player kind of person. More quest lines, dailies, events etc. that you can do by yourself. Launching nukes is fun as that triggers big boss events. Other then that quite a few bugs and glitches are still there which is annoying.
Just Convinced me To Add to Library!!.. Free on PS Plus this Month!!.. Single Player For Life!!.. ✌️

So they should have waited 5 years?
@@timothy790110 this was a lazy attempt at a quick money maker. The game had literally nothing in it. Just an empty world with no NPCs, no quests, etc. Bethesda could’ve easily released this game in a much better state than it was in 2018. The only reason they are adding content to this game now is because the player base complained enough and Bethesda has a rep to hold.
I've been playing since beta, between my two accounts I have over 4,000 hours ( I'm retired so I have tons of time) I think part of the Love of the Game for me was being there from the beginning and going through all the problems ,I liked playing before Wasteland and with the addition of wasteland it made the experience even greater, but I don't think it would have loved it as much if I didn't get to experience 76 with no NPCs to me the whole experience paints a beautiful picture starting out with nobody alive and then people of Appalachia coming back a few years later. My favorite aspect I think though is building. And I really miss nuclear winter I wish they would bring that back getting rid of it was a huge mistake. Their biggest problem with it was they didn't keep up with it they could have refreshed it newer Maps and rewards . Was totally disappointed with the pit personally there was nothing in there I even wanted that was worth all the grinding. Hopefully they do some more work on it in the future. For me personally I'll be playing this game until it stopped getting updated hopefully by then start field will be out. But if asked I would totally recommend picking up and playing 76.
How old are you ?
@@BLAKDANGER 48
I have 4000 hours and I’m 19 maybe I got life backwards 😳
@lep5ter bro
Played till lvl 140, completed all thw quests and then the grind started. I really hate heavy grinding, doing the same thing over and over and over again. So i went back to heavy modded FO4
Just got this game off PS Plus. Found this video to decide if I should play. Thanks for a detailed run through
Thank you I found this review to be very unbiased despite the hours you’ve put into it. I appreciate the flaw highlights and also the strength ones too
Played since day one and logged hundreds of hours myself. Even in the beginning the potential was always there. The changes could be hard for some players to roll with though... Ive switched weapon loadouts a few times due to nerfs and buffs.
Nice! Yeah I've had to work on some new character builds as well. Quite enjoyed it actually.
It is "worth" it to play if you play maybe once a week for about 5 hours total, there just isn't that much to do even now with the updates.
wow 5 years ago already..time flies
It has! Come a long way from that launch lol
@@UraniumFever76 haha true!
Fallout 76 has come such a long way. I love the game. I've met some awesome people over the years and Bethesda has added so much good content, and consistently. Good video man!
Agreed 100% mate. Think it deserves a little more respect than it gets. Appreciate you checking the video and keep up the great work! 👊🏻
@@UraniumFever76 I think it would deserve more respect if it wasn’t such a large game company that release the game in such a bad state, then used a season pass model to make a profit off of the game and took five years to make it passable when it could have been so much more even still.
Even though the game is pretty good now, I just find it a bit off to give Bethesda credit for pretty shitty business practices.
Is it still a glitch mess?
14:03 I also have to say for us older players who have been on there longer than the newer one... help them out the newbies show them the ropes and see what they can do.
Well said mate!
HELP. LVL 123 I've used 3000 bullion on SS PA. Should I complete the set or start grinding in another direction. Really want to have a jet pack w/o a full set just need the torso? Thoughts or advice would be 💗
Secret service is best mate for both armour and PA. If you are a PA user then complete the set I think and try and get the jetpack too.
@Uranium Fever thanks buddy felt silly at first no one talks about SS in 2023
Watch angry turtles latest video on ss armour so not to waste gold. That’s if your going for highest XP per kill.
Been playing since beta. It does need more story content. But if you accept it as an aimless grind with a lot of wandering and loads of camp building (as I have) it is fun. As I tell my daughter "There's nothing to do in 76, but there's tons of nothing to do."
I started when it was free for PSN a few days ago and I’m in love with it I play it a lot but upset I missed so many cool things from previous seasons that I wish I had so bad lol hopefully the items will come back again eventually
Worth it. 2000+ hours in. Multiplayer is a wholesome experience. Just avoid the FO76 subreddit, it's become a toxic cesspool that fosters hate and encourages witch hunting amongst the community.
What do you mean by witch hunting?
Multiplayer is great! Glad you enjoy the game!
@@FilthEffect the unnecessary hatred towards those who have it from those who dont.
Actually just started playing this game two days ago. Enjoying it so far. Hope it gets better for you OG players 💖
YOU LITTLE CUTIE 😍
I started a few months back after I gave up on the horrible start when it first came out, I love it and I’m just grinding for levels and materials while trying to figure out my build
Bloody😏

Glad you enjoying it now!
This comment had me hit the install button again... Haven't touched it since launch so here goes nothing 💪
@@KNGER1988how was it
I have like a level 20 characters from lunch that I last used about a year ago, think it’s worth just starting a new char?
So many people needed a video like this, a lot of interest atm, thanks for the video 👍
No problem bud! Thanks for checking it out. Would love to see more new players start up this year.
I think if your new to the game , then it’s worth playing. Long time players I think ( speaking for myself) it can drag on a bit. It is a good game though and I’m still enjoying it.
Never tried it. It's free on Playstation this month. So is it worth it for free?
I'm afraid to say how many hours I have spent in '76 - it's been like a second home to me since the beta. Admittedly quite a few of those hours were spent in photo mode but that's a story for another time. xD
Oh I don't even know. haha between playing, filming and editing it's a ridiculous amount. I'm glad you did spend so long though! You and Jaz have got some amazing shots over the years!
Have any of your photos posted for viewing?
I loved nuka-world on tour, i only really had one problem with it and it was the theming, they did great with theming it around the actual drink, nuka-cola, but it was weird that there was barely anything about the actual place, youd assume the tour sponsoring nuka-world would show off or atleast mention the 5 unique segments in the original park, but nothing 💔
Played over 2500 hours over the last 3 - 4 years and still playing. I play other games once I finish scoreboards but always come back home to West Virginia. Great game and well worth your time.
Dude, you just made me feel so bad. On mw2019 I have over 3,000 hours & only played for a little over a year... 😭😭😭😭
Is pvp always on? Thx in advance
@@gateofdivine582 no
I've been seeing some interesting power armor skins or paints whatever you want to call them. It'd be pretty interesting if they would make a power armor that was designed to be less noticeable. You know like how we hide our big tanks during war in the trees by putting camo netting on them? I'm kind of surprised this hasn't been a thing I mean people wear ghillie suits why not power armor? I mean even if you look at world war II German vehicles especially, they had all kinds of bushes and shrubs and bits of trees tied on to their tanks. Or if you want to freak people out combine that with some animal skulls and tree branches and you'll look like a monster. Just a thought Bethesda.
There's already a power armor that's similar to a ghillie suit. It's called strangler heart power armor and it's not even an atomic shop item. It's a regular power armor you can buy with guld bullion
I tried a few months ago, it felt like FO4 but way emptier. I did have some people come in and play events with me. But overall I'd rather just play 3 or 4.
Play New Vegas, it’s by far the best fallout game
@@edantyson844 played through 3-4 times, i like the roleplay but for me i like exploring and finding gear, just me though
Watching a day before it goes live on PS Plus, thanks!
Enjoy! let me know if you try it out.
Would love to see 5 star legendary, more legendary perks, new weapons, and definitely hard raid like bosses
i'm not a really pvp player but since they have nuka world & they have various fighting pits around the waste land ... they should utilize them & make like a Gauntlet type fighting rings/tournaments that people can join if they choose....with rules to make even for all...😁
I've played the game myself for about 2100 hours now and can say it's worth to play (to a certain degree), also had some friends asking how the game is nowadays and will 100% show them this video as it does a far better job than I could explain haha.
2100?
Thanks bud! I would agree with that 100% lol. To a certain degree. Best thing would definitely be for them to test it out if they can get it on the cheap!
How can you play 2100 hours and only kinda like it?
@@cul8terworld dude played it for 4 years and kinda likes it
Liked the video. Thinking of playing. So if you just buy the base game now you get all the content included?
You do yeah! Everything that’s released so far. Might be worth checking out to see if you like it 😊
@@UraniumFever76 thanks alot. really apreciate the fast response. Gonna give it a shot. I have loved most of the Fallout games with hundreds of hours each
Good video UF. I appreciate the obvious effort you put into them.
I have played a few thousand hours, and most enjoy starting new characters, playing solo in a FO1 private world. The challenge is to complete as much as possible solo, from story quests, events, daily ops, expeditions, to end game bosses while collecting and building the best weapons and armor I can. Camp building, decorations, skins, etc leave me bored, although I can appreciate the results of those who pump many hours into it. My favorite multiplayer event is Eviction Notice, especially when only a few players show up. Let's have more like that. Ashes to Fire is fun, and I look forward to it more in Season 13. By contrast I found Nuka World on Tour to be silly, and the Titan to be boring, just not difficult enough. I'm playing a new game of Skyrim now, waiting for Starfield, and dropping into 76 once in a while. The Season 13 scoreboard is a disaster for me, not going to bother. How could BGS get me back into FO76. We need a new meta, shake up the power distribution. Add weapons and armor with both strong positive and negative effects. Give us a reason to replay the quests and events by changing (dramatically) the loot pool. Add new perks, and maybe remove some existing ones. Shake it up! So, that's my 2p.
Got Fallout 76 when it was offered free (via Prime I think?). I loved Fallout 3 and 4 along with related DLC, mods, etc., but hadn't played any Fallout for some time. I've been having a lot of fun with it. Feels like playing Fallout 4 but with some fun multi-player content. I like being able to play with a friend. What is an open question in my mind is whether this is a game I'll play for years like I have with others, or whether I'll feel after maybe 6 months that I've done all the quests and I lose interest in doing the repeatable quests. I guess that will depend on what they keep adding to the game. The recent "Nuka Cola World on Tour" update was great, I thought. I've enjoyed it enough that I decided to reward them by subscribing to Fallout 1st.
I can answer your question right now yes it is Fallout 76 has have some amazing updates that are so very fun and I'm having a blast with this game everyday it's a lot different of game from when it first came out highly recommend it
Can you play this coop with just another friend or is the online part open for everyone to enter?
Think is that it's a platform to take money away from players. Fallout 3,New Vegas or 4 is the way to play Fallout. Simply...
Let's wait for Next Gen Update for Fallout 4 this year for all platforms! :)
Question is, if PlayStation Plus Edition is with all DLC's?
Well if they had a fourth region boss for the swamp region I'm thinking either the interloper finally becomes a boss for that region or that bird that can be seen nailed to a particular mountain face for which I forget what the bird is called but it's big
I think it's supposed to be the Roc. That would be cool. Something that would destroy even the SBQ.
@@Tattle-by-Tale yes The Roc
Also what does SBQ mean anyways
@@DuckDecoy13 Scorch Beast Queen SBQ
@@adamr8831 oh thank you
@ᴋɴɪɢʜᴛ-ꜱɢᴛ. ꜱᴀʙʟᴇ well if they do hopefully people figure out better builds now that legacies are gone and it looks like once some of these god builds become known they'll get rid of those next
I'm ready excited to start playing the game + thx for the video 💙
It can be tough to get into. The game has an absolute f**k-ton to do and can feel overwhelming, but the area you start in is pretty tame and safe. Simple, easy quests. Nothing too tough to fight. You'll be there the first hour or 2. But the game will open up to you once you leave The Forest.
What platform are you starting on 😊 ?
i downloaded fallout 76 again but thid time online not on disc and it said the data was damaged and then i downloaded it again cause its said to do it again an then my ps4 shut of i started it again and then it was in safe mode and couldent start the ps4 again so now i am stuck without a ps4 and no fallout 76
annyone know what could be wrong if yes pleas help me
(sorry for bad spelling english isnt my main laungauge
I got this with ps plus and I’ve been having a lot of fun with it
Best 2023 review video out there.
Thanks matey, appreciate you checking it out. Some damn good raider and enclave camps in there too ;)
I really like the game as it is now... but as you said... they need to offer more for end game... something that motivates you to grind the gold bullions, the scripts, etc. New Plans to decor the camps, as well as new weapons or variants as they did with the Nuka-Launcher... new Power Armors as they did with the the Union one and more armors and stuff... something that motivates you to keep grinding and grinding. I have won almost all the Nuka World rewards... except for the recipes and a few items.. ... so it keeps me motivated to grind them all and then sell the recipes and plans :D.. I need the caps... but they still need to increase camp budget, inventory management, etc, etc. But I think that they are on the right path. Good video by the way man! Very detailed and informative!
Thats why we collect legacies, todd rolls, weird weapons/apparel and godrolls.
But the babies cry about it, say its unfair and then Bethesda has to waste resources addressing them instead of doing what you just proposed.
They need to make it so there isn’t a limit for gold bullion
Just started having a blast. Love having option to play as slowwwwwwwwww as I like to
Kinda wanted to try it and got it on Humble Choice. It's pretty fun, I just wanted a FO experience and was too lazy to mod FO4 or NV.
Well, my biggest problem was the annoying lag ... so I bit the bullet and got 1st. I'm more of a solo player so I don't mind playing alone on the private server and I prefer playing on my own pace.
After getting through the main quests and getting to a higher level, I'll probably try public events
How did this go ? R u still playing three months later?
@@drewk8603 I got through the last scoreboard, finished the quests ... and that's about it ... Didn't see any reason to grind out further in events and I haven't returned for the current scoreboard. I'll maybe / probably do it, but I shall see.
It was pretty fun overall.
Gearbox you failed us... i have almost 8,ooo hours on BL3. Bought all the DLC, and you abandoned it. Wonderlands is an abomination. This game is not as good in my opinion but i admire them not giving up on it. A year older. Destiny 2 as well... both being showed love by their developers.
That’s interesting. Never played borderlands but interesting that Bethesda have put more effort in.
Bro 8000 hours? That's a satisfied customer imo.
Does everyone have any experience with getting the platinium trophy? Great and helpful video btw
Thanks very much! I have the platinum trophy - if you follow the main story then you should unlock the majority of them. Any trophies in particular you need help with?
@@UraniumFever76 i havent download the game yet, I'm pre-searching about if the game is hard or easy to get the trophy
DONT FORGET YOU CAN MOD IT WITHIN REASON WITHOUT GETTING BANNED. I ADDED DOGMEAT AS MY ROBO COLLECTRON AFTER SAVING FOR MONTHS TO UNLOCK THE PLAN
I played pretty consistently for about a year but I haven’t played since. Is it better to start a new character or continue with my old? I’m torn because of everything I got and built but it’s been so long I don’t remember what all I did and didn’t do
I started playing this last night and the first few hours have been pretty good
The game has consistently improved over the years, im really enjoying the new Nuka world events and as always the C.A.M.P building feature is my favourite. All in all well worth a play. Great promo vid Uranium fever, nice one.
Yes mate! You are pretty unique as this is a first Fallout title. Nothing to compare it to! But the ability to show camps to other players in person is a big plus point I think. Thanks for checking the video mate!
A more fleshed out enclave themed update with more story, farmable items, and locations would be awesome.
Do previous bp items and events skin and content make a return or are they gone forever?
Really wish they would add more places to explore. That was one of the most disappointing parts about the The Pitt for me, need new places to farm!
I would love to see them add more interesting NPC hub areas you can explore before the missions. Maybe even with some side quests. Union Dues in particular I thought the Pen was an incredibly boring HQ for The Union.
@@UraniumFever76 Expeditions are stupidly boring.
Talk to this person, grab these items, kill these people, return to main quest char, protect 3 people, kill boss repeat.
It would be interesting to rework so that there's a central player area in the pit and you enact quests from there. You can still use the vertibird idea but add more quests to level that up and have the excuse to have it fly you to parts of the city. And side quests in the central hub send you to either personal locked areas or it's a larger hub area with a good part of the city too.
76 doesn't need more assets and rewards and atom store content and seasons, or even events... It needs all the previous ones cleaned up and all the continuities fixed, as well as all the previous stories and lore expanded on greatly. As well as all the sludgy limits taken off daily game play to make it fun again. No more currencies. No more gambling.
I really want to see a proper story update soon.
@@UraniumFever76 Right! No more filler and updated rewards and side stuff and timegating passed off as content updates, without content updates.
I'd also like to see them actually add the content they decided not to add
This game is almost the perfect example of quality vs quantity. I was asking myself “is this game was worth coming back to”? Not even 5 minutes in and it’s a hard no lmao. Got reminded of all the lack luster voice acting and the story. You also got to love the very obvious cash grab that the game is in general.
Hello, I am very new at the game I just launched the game and when I click play it says found a world and then gives me this error: (CONNECTION FAILED: TIMED OUT WHILE WAITING FOR SERVER TO RESPOND).
I tried verifying games files and restarted my pc but no luck.
is there a maintenance right now?
and is there a way to play this game alone (single-player) like fallout 4 without connecting to any server i mean.
my version of the game is Xbox game pass pc.
I have like 40 min total play time the same year or year after launch, I just don't vibe with it and wish I rather had that money back. Only upside is it gave me F1, F2 and Tactics in my library when it transfered to Steam
It sucks because what I did see, the Overworld map was beautiful. I loved the idea of exploring the mountain range and everything
I’m SO OVER The Pitt. There’s no reason to hang out there or read the lore. And if I have to make soup ONE MORE F’ing TIME 🤬
The Pitt needs a lot of work. Expeditions in general do I think.
You can burn the stew and you still get the battery charged. But I get your point in general
@@kiv9431 I know. It’s just such a stupid repetitive thing to do. It gives me PTSD
Can you play solo, and spawn in npc/spawnable units to fight for you, spawn in weapons etc?
That was the main thing i loved about fallout 4. I used to complete the game legitimately, then do it again, spawning in different factions/animals to do most of the fighting for me!
Thx!
I just wanted to say thank you today young man who made this video. I wasn't for sure if I wanted to download this game or not, because I heard there was problems with that game. It takes me forever to download a game, because I'm using my cell phone as a Wi-Fi signal for my PS4. I want to make sure this game is worth the long wait I'll have to endure to even play this game. So I wanted to make sure it was worth my time and effort.
Thank you for the time you spent explaining things.
That’s quite alright! Hope you do enjoy the game. It still has a bad reputation because of its bad launch but for new players there is a lot to play through still and in general it’s in a much better state than it used to be.
I haven't gotten back into Fallout 76 in a while and wanted to see if there anything new to the game. I did come back before the pitt was added and had a lot of fun playing through the game. Enjoying and seeing it have potential to be a great live service. I still believe it will have it's issues but that doesn't change the fact that the game will be really fun overall. I'm hopeful the game will reach the same heights of Sea of Thieves, Destiny, Warframe, and others live services like them then turn into another disappointment or stain on live service games.
It's fun for about 40 minutes after end game.
@@robert9595 yeah that is true and kinda disappointing. Then again this is a dumpster fire that did get put out so better something then another dead live service
Previously I played Bethesda Fallouts and was enjoying them, considering both great and bad moments of those games. Fallout 76 is similar to them in terms of the overall experience. If you enjoyed exploration, investigation of different locations, hidden quests, constructing your own build in Fallout 4 - you can check it out. If you are not sure about purchase, check Fallout 4, because all mechanics are extremely similar and if you enjoy it - buy 76.
As a new player can say that I have small problems, like freezes for 1-2 seconds every several minutes, but they are not critical and my friend even does not have any problems. Game has a smooth progression of difficulty and I can say that game allows you to play it both as singleplayer and as multiplayer. I encountered players only when I wanted to participate in the multiplayer events and because of that your experience will totally differ. Map is huge, death penalty is extremely small (just dropping the loot you found in the last expedition, but you can get it back almost instantly), density of interesting locations and things to discover is awesome.
Original Fallout 4 had 2 abstract regimes of your gameplay - with and without power armor. 76 introduced new one with mutations (not sure, but don't remember that in previous parts). Because of that you are able to get 3 completely different experiences from the game. Still, I am 60 hours in the game and can say that for me there is still a content to discover till 100 hours threshold, but even from my perspective I can see lack of endgame content and because of that only fallout fans will stay longer.
If you're fan of Bethesda Fallouts - check it out. Like exploration, craft and gameplay experiments - check it out. Want a game that is able to take 100 hours - check it out. My advice, check it via either Game Pass or buy with a discount.
Nice review mate! Glad you are enjoying it and you do have more to do for sure if you are 60 hours in.
I need help on Xbox
I’m just about to start this game as a newbie. Are there any settings I need to change or is there anything I need to do if I want to play through the game as a solo player? How do I minimise or stop contact with other players? Thanks
Hey mate! So in your game settings you can switch to pacifist mode ‘on’ which will essentially remove the ability to initiate or engage in PVP. Unless you get Fallout 1st and play on a private world there will still be around 30 players with you in an adventure server. The world is pretty big so typically you will only meet other players at public events. I would recommend still doing these as some of them can be pretty tough on your own. I posted a beginners guide that shows playing up until level 50 if it helps!
I just started playing a few weeks ago with my brother and I never really considered how fun fallout would be with a co-op parter.. it really is a great time I recommend giving it a go
wishlisted it again , hope a sale is nearby before starfield launch so i can give it a go
guys, fo76 will be available in psplus tomorrow and i have a PS4. Is this game still active (like are there people still playing the game), the graphic and frame rate on ps4 are ok?
Hey there! Yeah there’s plenty of players on all the time I find. You should be okay with PS4 although you might get the odd issue with Boss frame rate
@@UraniumFever76 tysm
@@Erbonito124 no problem! See you out there in the Wasteland!
I did start it 2 years ago and didn't care for it but since they added the updates I'm willing to try it again
Can you coop through the story? Ive been thinking about getting back into, but I dont wanna do the story by myself all over again.
half month after purchased i spend around 100 hrs for 7 dollars its worth and thx for your guide tho
You are welcome! Thanks for checking the video :)
Been playing since release, and while I've taken breaks in the past, the content from the last several months has kept my interest up enuf, to keep playing just about every day.
I'm also looking forward, to the elimination of legacy weapons.
They're existence in the game, especially of late, just sews too much aggravation to keep them in.
I'd say that when the Prime TV series starts, there will be a huge influx of new players to the game, and to have a few idiots with legacy weapons, pummeling the public event bosses, will make them leave the game, before having the chance to enjoy it.
Yeah I'm hoping so too mate with the TV Series! The better this game does, the better new content I think. Glad you are still enjoying it!
would you recommend getting the DLC from the start?
I absolutely hate how slow leveling is , forcing me to bump levels into inteligence to have hope if getting levels faster and i also hate how there's level locks. I found a minigun guess what i can't use it. Whenever i find something i can't use it. I found t-51 power armor can't use it. Causing me to spend more time doing boring stuff in hope to get one level if i even get one. If anyone knows how can I level up faster please tell me im currently level 9 and im already enclave and i did so much stuff and i can't level up faster
Grind events join teams and have high intelligence you will level up fast
@@Underplayer-yz5fs I stopped playing fallout 76 at level 60
@@norksetered oh
After seeing the building aspect I got excited and decided it was worth the download on PS plus, to only find it doesn't have a PS5 version and what seemed like inconsistent 30 fps was fucking awful. Also disappointing to find out they don't seem to care for a next gen version either. Luckily I can try it on my PC on game pass but all of my friends are on console which sucks
Wait what? I’m confused I play on PS5 with the PS4 disk. Is it the PS Plus version that’s an issue?
@@UraniumFever76 oh no my bad I worded that wrong, I tried it for about 30 mins on PS5 but it felt worse than playing Fallout on the PS3 lol. I know it probably isn't but I'm used to high framerates now. I just wish there was a next gen version even if it only had better framerate. Downloading on PC now I have a 3080 so it should run pretty good even if brute forced haha
I still love it and have played literally since Day One.
Nice to hear! Glad you still enjoy it.
fallout 76 would have been a badass fallout 5 or fallout 4 dlc, i played 76 till i was lvl 276 and i think this game either almost or did kill the fallout franchise as im sure they will never make another one without a Atom Shop or some crap like it. But i would love another bomb ass title, fallout 4 wasnt the best game ever but it was somewhat fun, and is a fact its at least interesting during your first playthrough but besides fallout 4 we need a good RPG an Actual rpg
They did well with adapting VATS to multiplayer. I thought it would not work, but it's actually very good now (apart from the occasional bug).
We need a brand new Enclave quest line where Modus and the players are able to make contact with some unknown Enclave Division coming from outside Appalachia!
New weapons, new Armor and Power Armor! Also new NPCs and locations!
Agreed! That would be amazing update!
Raven Rock is not that far away from where we are playing
I still experience GAME BREAKING bugs that’s from launch. Simple things like not being able to use a chemistry bench because the game just says “yea no”, broken power armor animations, having your camp snapped out of existence by Thanos himself because it’s “overlapping” with another camp when you log in, fps dropping down to less than 10 when there are more than 5 enemies on screen, painfully bad enemy and npc AI, the list goes on. All these things should tell you whether or not it’s a playable game
"having your camp snapped out of existence by Thanos himself"
Hahaha this one made me laugh, good one.
Different experience here it’s a very smooth experience and I’ve been playing since launch, but I’m always lucky and never get bugs in buggy games.
These sound like QoL not game breaking. Any problem I've ever had has been fixed with a restart and log back in. A bug is only game breaking if it makes you unable to actually move forward and or corrupts and breaks your game. You're being a bit hyperbolic. I can definitely see those things being frustrating but I've never seen that as game breaking. It's part of code. Things get wonky. In my thirty years of gaming I've never played a game that didn't have something frustrating in its design. I'm wondering what miracle games you've played that gave you this standard.
Oh and you're camp not being there when someone else's is there isn't a bug. That's how it works? How do you want it to work? To delete it entirely? To merge your camps together? Your way of describing it was funny. But you're still kinda exaggerating the game breaking nature of the bugs. Take a deep breath my guy. Learn to release that stress. You can't be getting so mad about a button not working or a line of code not working. Just hit restart. Take a breath. It ain't that big of a deal.
This video convinced me to get it, as it is like $8 online now, looking forward to giving it a try!
Glad the video helped! Hope you enjoyed it, if you tried it out.
how did it go?
@@forridersofsatan Not very well, the game had no audio on my PC for some reason (think it was a glitch?). Played Fallout New Vegas and 4, as those didn’t have that strange audio glitch.
Oh hey you’re the guy Epicnate thanked for footage!
Yes that's me mate! Was awesome to help out a little bit for his video, with the Flatwoods Monster shots.
I personally love this game, having a fallout to play with my friends has been some of the best times on Xbox for me, I hope they continue making it even better and adding alot more content, especially since we aren't seeing another fallout game for a while with the other titles the developers are working on currently.
I downloaded it two days ago and im having a blast since first hour.
Part of me wants fallout 5 but the other half doesnt want to leave 76, i hope it never dies
Im not Buying Starfield until Fallout 4 is all Playable on Xbox, & I can finally complete the game after 7 long years!
Thanks for the info. Just started myself on ps4 and loving it! There is so much to do. Wandering and seeing what happens is a love of mine, and games like this are perfect. I've seen people that are level 2000+, and from what I've experienced up to now, that's insane! But I'm looking forward to putting that sort of time into this game.
You’re probably not playing anymore are you? Lol
I love it now but definitely wish for more classic fallout stuff like outfits and guns but it’s really had a glow up I just jump on for some simple mindless fun
I wish they would improve melee. Why would i use my spear like a sword? Maybe add finish moves if i one shot them from stealth? Some variety in the attacks would also be nice instead of just the left right swing.
pitt was so well done art direction was where fallout should be, but the rewards were lame and the unnecessary annoyance of farming for one trip is almost like someone higher up in management wanted pitt to fail. as if it was intentionally made to discourage players to try it and less ppl would do it as often while combined with the rewards insured only a handful of players would want to farm it. Only thing i like at all in nuka release is the wild west town really dont like the rest of nuka update, I am grateful someone figured out how to MMO phase the boss for the sake of none legacies wielders.
Agree! And yeah I like that feature with the Titan. It was smart to avoid it being killed so quickly.
I am a fan of the Free States. Have you heard if there will be any additions for them? *** P.S. - truly appreciate your hard work and video. Thank you for sharing.
Yes!! You are getting some new weapons and camp items I think. Not sure about story content but il do some digging!
@@UraniumFever76 - That would be awesome. Thank you.
This game needs a end game like a raid kinda feel, PvP (arena style) eso does this quite well.
Maybe a zone of the map where everyone is hostile to ev1 and you fight AI vs player like division dark zone?
Everything is irradiated and needs to be extracted to cleanse the gear. And the gear has a chance of being high tier loot or a voucher for scrap idk about rewards just something interesting.
Just got this for free on ps plus. To be honest, I'm having quote a lot of fun, running around and completing quests and stuff
Great Video and guide for new and returning player's dude!!! We will see even more new players as well with news of Fallout 76 coming to PlayStation Plus as one of the free games for subscribers there as well so it's a great time to get into the game as well as show the newbies some love in game when you see them :)
Thanks very much! I hope we do see more players arrive because of that. I'm a bit jealous of new players! So much to play for the first time.
And to think I laughed this game off back in early 2019 with reviews that lambasted it like "The Fall of 76." It was so buggy and unfinished it felt like it was an alpha build.
It was awful lol much much better now but not perfect!
If I buy a physical copy of this game, am I going to have to connect my ps4 online to download all these updates?
Just downloaded the game and about to get started. Is there anything i should do/ not do instantly or should i just bash on blind?
Hey mate! I posted a beginners guide where I run through the early game - might help you get an idea of what to do. Generally I think you will be fine. Quest markers will introduce you to a good tutorial quest line.
@@UraniumFever76 thanks. I'll have a look at your other video
One of my favorite memories from fallout 76 was with my cousin when it first came out we spent 4 hours designing a top tear, well defended multistory base at one of the junk yards we claimed not realizing that building there was temporary, so when we logged back in and realized what it was you could say we were pissed, but I still had a really good time playing it, and even now I've fully beat the game and I can go restart it and still love it, now it's definitely not my favorite fallout, and it's definitely not the best fallout, but the storyline is what I enjoyed the most, the game now is most certainly better then when it released
