TL;DR Get's an unwarranted amount of hate. If you're a fan of survival/crafting/base-building games, and don't care too much about story (there is one it's just not particularly interesting) you'll get your money's worth out of the game without needing to subscribe to Fallout 1st. Details below: I came into this game expecting jank—most reviews go on about bugs, pay-to-win, or it being unplayable without a subscription. As you can see from my hours played, I was pleasantly surprised. For context, I’m not a Fallout fanboy. I’ve played and enjoyed the series, but you don’t need any prior knowledge to enjoy this one. The gunplay is snappy and satisfying, with plenty of variety. Ignore the complaints about recent patches “nerfing all the fun builds”—that mostly comes from salty veterans upset they’re no longer absurdly overpowered. In reality, the patches made more weapons viable, giving you more freedom to craft a build that fits your playstyle. The first few main quests are slow and generic—“go solve our problems because we can’t” type of tasks. But once you get past that (it doesn’t take long) and set up your C.A.M.P., the game opens up. The latest update made base building far more enjoyable: you can now build almost anywhere (as long as it’s not too close to a landmark or another player) without worrying about physics. At first, options are limited, but as you discover more plans (blueprints), customization becomes almost Sims-like. Some of the cooler items are in the cash shop, but you earn Atoms (the premium currency) for free by completing challenges. For reference, many packs with new materials, furniture, etc. cost around 1,500 Atoms—an amount you can easily grind out in your first week. Seasonal rewards also unlock new plans and cosmetics. Yes, some are Fallout 1st–exclusive, but it’s nowhere near Blizzard-level battle pass nonsense. Free-to-play players still get plenty of worthwhile unlocks, like pets for your camp, arcade machines that grant stat boosts, and more. Gear customization is another highlight. Almost everything can be modded to boost resistances or damage types, or rolled into a legendary with unique bonuses like explosive projectiles, cloaking while stationary, or elemental retaliation. Weapons can be further tweaked for range, fire rate, accuracy, and stability, with mods also changing their appearance. Combine this with the wide variety of perk cards, and you’ve got tons of options for fun, satisfying builds. One common gripe is limited storage, which Fallout 1st subscribers bypass. It’s a fair critique, and it bothered me at first. But I quickly realized you can craft “junk” into “bulk” and sell it to NPC vendors. There’s a daily cap, but it’s not an issue until mid-to-late game. As a non-subscriber, I’ve only found storage limiting if I try to hoard everything. For most players, scrapping and selling regularly keeps things manageable. Another annoyance is that most main story quests take place in instanced zones, and only the leader gets quest progress. This is frustrating in groups, but the quests are short and soloable. Alternatively, you can rotate leadership and repeat them—everyone still gets XP and loot, so it’s not a dealbreaker. Overall, there’s a lot of fun here for different playstyles. Builders can spend hours perfecting their bases. Theorycrafters have endless ways to blow things up, melt enemies, or stab them—plus two free loadout slots for experimenting. Explorers will find plenty too; I’m level 165 and still discovering unmarked locations that grant XP and fast travel points. The community is also welcoming—higher-level players often hand out gear to newcomers, and you can join events for rewards regardless of level. You don’t need a subscription to enjoy the game. If that’s been holding you back, ignore the misinformed hate—and if you see me in Appalachia, wave hello!

I played Fallout 76 for two months, hit level 170, and logged 186 hours. I've also played Fallout 3, New Vegas, and 4. If you liked Fallout 4, there's a good chance you'll enjoy this too. The gameplay feels very similar—maybe even identical. But let me be clear: this isn’t really a first-person shooter. It’s an inventory management game with some shooting and story elements mixed in. A large part of your time will be spent scavenging, crafting, and managing what to keep or sell. The actual narrative and combat feel secondary. Because inventory management is such a core mechanic, you’ll eventually run into the base game’s storage limits. That’s when you’ll find yourself staring at the $13/month Fallout 1st subscription, which gives you unlimited storage for scrap and ammo. And because you’ve already sunk time into your character and the world, you’ll likely reach a crossroads—pay for inventory relief, or stop playing. It’s technically possible to finish the main questline without the subscription, and I think you should. If you do end up subscribing to Fallout 1st, the post-story endgame mostly revolves around completing events and daily quests for XP, treasury notes (which you trade for gold bullion), and seasonal challenges that reward gold tickets. These currencies let you unlock new plans—cosmetic and functional—for your gear and your base. That’s really the endgame: unlocking stuff to make your character, armor, and CAMP look cooler. I don’t mean for that to sound negative. I spent over a full week’s worth of time in-game and paid for a month of Fallout 1st. I do recommend Fallout 76. I just wish someone had explained up front what kind of game it really is, so I could have managed my expectations better.

Well I waited until I had 1000+ hours in before writing this, so now here goes. I've been a Fallout fan from the first game, played all them in between and like so many of the old one's, this one has problems, clipping graphics, bodies that fly off after into the great blue yonder, money grabs etc. The game has been both fun and frustrating at the same time, Hell I had to re-purchase the game due to all my past games were deleted by them and non-recoverable (It was years before). I'm medically retired now due to cancer, and bored so I came back. Lots of good changes were added, and some bad, it seems the way of games anymore, well in all truth, it always has been. I will end this by saying, don't take everything seriously, enjoy what you can and knowing that, the game can be fun and always remember that "War, War never changes." both internally and externally.

After 1,000 Hours and 455 levels, I've learned a few things from fallout 76. Its way better now than on initial release. Yeah there are still buggs here and there. glitching with entering / exiting Power Armor, some quest-line bugs, and some visual bugs. They come and go but don't occur very often for me. This game is great with friends or to relax. You don't have to use the most "OP" build to have fun. All of the Creatures in the game scale with your level, except for bosses. Like most other games this is a fun "Shoot and Loot" game. The Pros - Base Building almost anywhere, if you can imagine it you can make it happen. From a base Decorated to be Identical to a Raider Camp, to a roadside gas station. - The player base is Incredibly Friendly, I've only have 1 encounter with an unfriendly player in my 1,000 hours. - You don't have to grind for anything. no need to spend Hours running West-Tek or the Raids to gain hundreds of levels, play at your own pace. The Cons - Fallout First Membership, to have a Unlimited Scrap / Ammo storage behind a Paywall is not so good. But with careful Inventory management it is possible to keep under 1200 Weight in your STASH. You will just have to not save that one Legendary Gatling Plasma you found 4 months ago, and sell your excess ammo / plans. I'm not the best at writing reviews, but i liked this game enough to put some words on the Reviews page for strangers to look at then scroll by. Thanks - GamerDad2119
