DO NOT BUY THIS GAME AT FULL PRICE, BUY IT ON A DEEP SALE The game is not worth buying for $40 in my opinion, so I highly recommend waiting for a sale. It drops to $8–$10 pretty often throughout the year and was even $3.99 during the December sale, so definitely save your money. The game is fun overall, and as someone who has played Fallout since the third game came out, I enjoyed this one too. The public events spread across the map are a blast to do with other players, and the base building is a major highlight. It is cool to customize your own space where your imagination and available items are the only limits. Having player-run shops to trade with others is also a neat feature that adds to the experience, especially since you can buy old seasonal items you might have missed. It is completely enjoyable without a paid subscription, too. The various missions and stories are accessible without it. Out of all my playtime, I only had Fallout 1st for a single month just to get the ranger armor; aside from that, my time has been without it. Keep in mind you do have some limitations when you don't have it but its still fully playable. However, the game has its share of bugs. I have run into a fair number of them throughout my playtime, so if you expect a perfect game, keep on moving. You will still hit frequent server disconnects, choppy framerate drops during big public events, hit registration issues where your shots don't register, and laggy menus. There is even a weird glitch where your character loads in frozen in place—which just happened to me toward the end of May—so it is definitely still a problem. The developers should work on addressing these ongoing issues, but for me, the flaws aren't enough to stop me from playing.

Most people remember Fallout 76 as being "that horrible Fallout game", after it's admittedly terrible release state. It was full of crashes, bugs, performance issues, and didn't even have regular human NPC's or meaningful story interactions. The whole game focused on player interactions in a world largely populated by robots and mutated creatures. Fast forward 6yrs, and the game is in a totally different state. The game runs smooth, has tons to do, lots of meaningful questing, raids, public events and lots of human NPCs and questlines. It FEELS like Fallout now. It's a far cry from the state it was on at launch, that's forsure. If you're one of those people who stepped away from the game after a short while due to it's horrible launch, I'd really recommend giving it a nother shot, especially if you are a Fallout fan. It's really a fun game, with an outstanding community who are helpful to newcomers, and always willing to lend a hand. Heck, veteran players might even give you a little carepackage of weapons/armor/meds, as is so common a story for them to do. Hope to see you all out there, in the Wasteland

TLDR : This game is the only mmo I've truly enjoyed and felt like a part of the community. The events and gameplay are really fun and the people are super friendly. There is lots of build variety (if that's your thing) and tons of gambling (the good kind) in the form of legendary mods. I bought full price and do not regret it but it goes on sale regularly for 10$ish (CAD) so just wait for that. Pros Community A major pain point in the mmo's I've played before is that despite being in a massive world with maybe 100s of players, I never felt part of a community (guild wars 2 being sort of an exception). Regardless of it being a meme, I don't have friends who like to play video games and I'm also a massive introvert so i don't want to talk with people. Yes, this is a me problem to why mmos can feel lonely but I think a lot of people will be in the same boat. FO76 feels different though, despite the "worlds" only allowing 24 players maximum, It feels 100x more full than other mmos. The emote system really helps with this, although I would love an in game text chat (This will be discussed later). One of main reasons is the teams you can join. For example you can join multiple types of teams, casual (INT boost = more passive xp), daily ops (more passive xp for daily ops), event (more passive xp for events], you see what I'm getting at? There is no pressure to have friends or play with people directly but you're NOT OSTRACISED FOR BEING A LONER AND YOU GET REWARDED FOR IT. Activities/Events What mmos often fail at is bringing a community together. Yes, most mmos have events and pvp etc. but those are usually for high level players and often have high skill ceilings to even start not to mention basically needing to watch hours of youtube tutorials for builds etc. In FO76 you can be level 1 or level 1000 and still enjoy the events. The events are also pretty fun although some get really old really fast (I'm talking about you free range). Generally though the events are "go here, shoot things, collect items, deposit said items in container and fight a boss" give or take a few steps. But to me simple is so much better, because who wants to run around catching chickens and then wonder why im chasing 100 chickens just to not fight anything at the end, talk about boring. In FO76 the events are almost always fun (cause who doesn't want to shoot things and fight a boss), not to mention the rewards are essentially free gambling. Everything is so easy Now I'm not saying the game is easy per se, but it is a fallout game so... it is. regardless, the game itself makes everything really smooth imo. For example another community building thing they did was make teams (which gives you a reward for playing with the same people COME ON DEVS MAKE THIS NORMAL). Teams are set up in a way that when you join a lobby you press quite literally 2 or 3 buttons and you are instantly playing with others. Events themselves are SO EASY to join because 1. it gives you a notification (which doesn't always show, thanks bethesda) 2. it shows it on the map and 3. you can just click join and it lets to fast travel FOR FREE. man I wish events were this easy to join IRL. Wanna scrap your gear to try for legendary mods? Simply waltz over to ANY crafting bench and click ONE button to get scrapping! don't wanna scrap the gear you like? just press ONE button and its now locked and safe. My point is whatever you want to do (generally) has very little if any friction. Build Variety FO76 is a pretty open game when it comes to builds. In most mmos, build can get really confusing really quick because there are 100s if not 1000s of skills in the trees that do 3% more headshot dmg when using a bow upside down and I hate that. This game has a fantastic card system that makes most cards viable. Not to mention none of the cards are stupid, they are almost all game changing, or very useful in some way. not to mention legendary mods for weapons which can wildly alter your build as well, but that's something you get to experiment if you decide to try the game. Extras In their recent update to the game, they added a random chance for bigfoot to spawn after an event which has enourmously increased event participation. I started playing about a week before this update and the event's were a little dead so it's nice to see that bethesda has at least someone slightly trying. Cons Game Difficulty I'm gonna be so real, this game is a baby game, it's ridiculously easy and there can be no argument. If you are looking for a difficult mmo, this is not the one for you. BUT in my mind an mmo should not be "hard", I want my mmos chill so that I can blow off some steam shooting things and having fun, not worrying about min maxing to kill a boss, making 1000s of potions and using them every 3.2 seconds on cooldown. But I'm also not going to lie to you, this game is stupidly easy and in many ways that can get boring. Greed Honestly, the greed was... greatly exaggerated ;). Now let me preface by saying eat the rich, microtrasactions are cancer and games should be rid of them and corporate greed all together. That being said, its not really that bad, I've only got about 80 hours at the time of this review and have saved around 2500 atoms (the store currency) and have not encountered a scenario where I really needed to buy something. If I even did, most stuff at max is 1500 atoms for a bundle. You can even earn atoms by doing daily's and other challenges but I don't even do that and I've earned the many for FREE. But let's talk about Fallout 1st. Fallout 1st Bethesda, honestly, go to hell with your corporate overlords because who in their right mind locks inventory space behind a monthly 18$ (canadian) subscription in this damn economy. If your devs weren't the most dedicated geniuses you would fall apart. They also lock other things in the atom store behind it including said resource generators and skins plus some 1st only discounts. This is where I think most people are upset, and rightfully so, if they locks resource gens and skins etc behind it... whatever I guess, but inventory space... have some mercy business man who is 80 years old and has never played a game in his life other than manipulating the stock market. That being said, from what I understand it used to be worse. At the time of writing we currently have 1200 lbs(?) of space which is generally sufficient at least for me, but I have to be quite picky with what junk I collect and things I keep. But honestly the things I sell in my vendor don't take up that much room and you can always go out and collect the things you are missing. Questing This is not a mainline title guys, its an mmo. That being said the quests are far better than most mmos out there (bless you guild wars 2). But it's still an mmo and is written like one. If you've played mmos before you know that is not the draw, so treat this like those. The real fun is in the end game with build variety and events, not garbage quests. Extras There are some minor annoyances like usual bethesda crashing (especially when alt-tabbing in a load screen) or various bugs... but that's kind of par for the course in terms of fallout. It's almost charming in a way. Who doesn't love seeing bigfoot stomp some poor level 20 instantly killing them and sending them into the stratosphere? I do. That being said, there are some really annoying quest bugs that still haven't been fixed, reddit is your best friend here. In Conclusion I honestly love this game, it has some flaws and its bethesda, but the community is really great and the gameplay is fun. I didn't even mention playing a VATS build which is literally just aimbot, getting high and aimbotting npcs is peak.
