  • Fallout 76 first released in 2018 embroiled in controversy. Between deceptive marketing, micro transactions, and a complete lack of non-robotic NPCs, many were disappointed with the game. However, the year is 2024, and Bethesda has released 18 major updates for Fallout 76, with the latest being Expeditions: Atlantic City America's Playground. With all of these updates, and the recent release of Amazon's Fallout show, Dave Klein stepped into the vault of Fallout 76 for the very first time to see if it's worth playing for someone new.

    There’s actually a lot of stuff in the nuke-a-cola compound. There is a keycard system that unlocks bunkers & gives you rare skins for power armor. Also a history of nuke-a-cola because fallout 76 is a pre-quill to the other fallout games Bethesda said in their conference. If you’re into the lore it’s actually a pretty interesting location.

      There are plenty of games like that, content warning, lethal company, enshrouded, etc. Here’s the thing the more complex games get the more bugs and time they take to make and thus the more push there is to release them early to make money, in general avoid games that have early access or are opening as a beta and triple A studios are notorious with this because the reality is they spend more and thus have more pressure to make more.
      Generally speaking you’ll be safer with small indie games because it’s simply easier to present a full less buggy product quicker with a smaller game. But as games get more and more complex the ability to release them quick and complete costs more and more.

    It's very interesting to hear a review of FO76 from the perspective of someone who never played FO4. At least half the issues described here are also present in Fallout 4 too, but of course things like VATS not stopping time (in FO4 it slows time but doesn't stop it) are issues that can be fixed with mods, which obviously don't work in a multiplayer setting.
    Honestly they should've made FO76 into a 4-player coop game instead of a MMO. Then it could've been tighter focused and have more story, and they could've kept the VATS time slowdown or freeze with an option to limit how long you can keep it open.

    If you're anything like the reviewer then I'd say no, it absolutely is not worth it. If you actually like the Fallout franchise, in particular 4, then I'd say it's worth it. It IS definitely more fun co-op. I say this as someone who put probably 150 hours into the game... at launch, mostly with a friend. I enjoy the base building, and I love exploring and ambient storytelling, which there is a ton of in this game. However, if you're generally more into games with constant excitement, where stories and objectives are non-stop spoon-fed (which, honestly, I normally am), it isn't the game for that, which makes the choice of reviewer here weird; the quest he's talking about at the beginning leaves a marker on the map and doesn't even tell you to follow the NPCs... honestly, watching most of the footage here was like watching the Cuphead video with the guy failing the tutorial.
    For all of its faults, however, the big win here over Fallout 4 is that it lacks Preston Garvey.

    If Fallout 76 had come out in a playable state back in 2018, I probably would have given it a try back then and stuck with it for a few years.
    As of right now, I'm currently installing it on my PS5 with the suspicion my experience will be similar to yours, before I uninstall to make room for the next gen update with Fallout 4.
    Thank god I got it free on PS+ a few years ago. Too many other games offer fantastic multiplayer experiences.

    Remove all expectation after playing 3 and new vegas as this is much more focussed on how you make your character rather than the story of the protagonist.
    I love the SPECIAL system is 76 its by far the best of the series as it really allows you to make a character the way you want, and I love the events that everyone in the server joins in on.

    To answer his question, in my opinion the end game is the best part. Hunting for schematics you don't have yet to searching for the best legendary for your build, and on top of that despite what he said I have come across many quests by just exploring, for instance the nukashine quest line was pretty good and it was a pre wastelanders thing. Sure 76 has a lot of problems still but theres a lot of enjoyment to get out of it.

    Yeah, I started back at open beta. Play it now and then now. Originally there was no starting mission other than follow the overseer's path of left containers. She wasn't added to the map to actually find for several years. There is a lot of emphasis on doing certain goals on the game board to earn stuff to keep people interested. The final mission was originally to launch a nuke. Although you often also get involved in the brotherhood's anti scorched queen event. Which originally had no living Brotherhood people and is something that can be done over and over. Not really sure I would say it has a final mission these days. Works much, much better now. Game bugs are mostly gone.

How did he not know how to tag quests to create markers to follow like every other fallout? He didnt look at the quest after questioning why he was following an NPC for over 10 minutes? That isnt even an issue with fallout specifically, any RPG player would question why something was taking so long and look at the quest description. Did he just not look at his pip-boy? Then when he starts exploring, he gets annoyed that buildings have nothing in them but enemies and loot but knows this is an MMO? Why play an MMO and then complain about MMO things? Why would you skip fallout 4 when fallout 76 is known to be the weird one? I get that fallout 76 wasnt the best but this review really didnt even try to understand the game.

    Besides that 76 needs a better story, I did the Brother hood of Steel quest line mostly and it was pretty bad, which is sad for Elder Scrolls Online is Great almost has good as Skyrim and Online!

    Fair review for someone that only played about 20hrs in the game and really didn’t touch the story from the sounds of it. You didn’t even talk about the different factions from the settlers to the brotherhood of steel not to mention some of the hidden ones. Not to mention the loot that can be earned depending on your decisions. Let alone the loot that can be found around the world. Sure the game doesn’t hold your hand so one has to stumble upon the items, but no, there’s loot to be found in the world. From power armor to blueprints to craft just about anything in the game. Well regardless fair view, I shouldn’t really expect much from you guys these days. I feel like most of the content Gamespot releases these days is subpar quality at best.

    I've been playing it this week. It's heavily underrated.

    The new Expedition is great for levelling up. It only takes about 10 min with the right build. Using my Shredder Bash AA, I destroy everything.
