So I tried playing FALLOUT 76 In 2022...

Fallout is a series near and dear to my heart. It doesn't take much for me to love a game that has the Fallout label, but no matter the chances I've given 76... it never ends well for me. Today, I open my heart up once more and give it yet another try.

If they just made coop instead of online with other people and an actual story it could have been good

[@PhilipJFry-xf1vq]

Honestly the wastelands Content is pretty good. Even the overseers journey is a pretty cool story. And you can play it co op basically. Hardly ever see other players anyway

[@j0eyhz620]

Co op games need to make a return…

[@HazyJ28]

PvP was taken out of the game. Its strictly co op now, unless you OPT IN to PvP. Wastelanders added dynamic events, dynamic NPCs, and a 50 hour story based around those NPCs. Dialogue skill checks, branching narrative, and side quests. All with Dialogue choices and NPCs. This game is now Fallout 4 Online with a better, bigger world.

For the time i played 76 i have to say , yeah it is a nice game, the only problem i found after playing it for a while was lack of content at high level... when you get to that point and is not that far... everything dies fast and you are nearly invicible andyou end up full of resources making the hunger,health and radiation like they didnt exist , the only estrugles end up being managing inventory weight and item durability

[@hermos3602]

You literally described every Fallout game. I don't think the problem is that there's lack of content for high level players because you can say the same about games like Fallout 4 and New Vegas. I think the reason people prefer the other games is because they were single player and you were able to mod them (Depending on the game and system it's on). Since Fallout 76 is an online game, it's designed for multiplayer and unfortunately modding the game is very limited. You can mod Fallout 76, but not to the extent of the previous games.

[@vargas4224]

I'm a guy that loves to just play, single player games. Because you can take your time, do shootouts at your own pace. Multiplayer, you have to work with other players completely. There is no single player campaigns. Second, I hate having to have a subscription to play. That sucks. So when you're an on,off player, you may play 3 or 4 hours, then nothing for a week or so. So it may take 2 months to get thru a game. There's 20 bucks just for one game that you get nothing for. Seems many games are going only on line play. So u spend 50 bucks on a games and money just to play. That sucks too. Then you always have the learning curve. You end up playing with others that are way more agile, quick and learned than u are. That's another issue. Other players may be race arounds. Im more slow and stealthy. Im still playing 4, after buying it a while ago. At least a couple of years. I can't believe how short some games are. I bought Hitman 3 and played about 3 hours then stopped, played a few more hours a couple days later. Suddenly after about 3 days like that, all the mains are done. Any suggestions from anyone to a good single player campaign games based on post apocalyptic nature? For Xbox one.

What I think 76 needed to be successful is the ability to play it solo, no online connection. Either way, they also should keep the perks locked. The online feature would have been successful if they did that because it would really promote groups and online play. And instead of the mega bosses, they should be functioned as massive raids with lots of enemies. Something that's doable solo, but definitely worth teaming up. Even with the entire server, you can't always beat the megabosses, which means its not something you can do solo.

[@soldier7_]

Yupp Solo ability would have been great, Fallout imo always worked best as a single player campaign but like u stated they could have added multiplayer as a separate option in the menu & would alter the game a little bit just like GTA5.

The whole point of Fo76 is to be multiplayer. Let Fallout have one multiplayer game like the Elder Scrolls. That's it.

[@lucathesadman]

I first got 76 a few months after it came out cuz I was nervous and was disappointed within the first 10 minutes of playing. I sold my copy and haven’t played it since. I wanted to wait until they realized they needed to put more npcs and content in. Flash forward to a week ago after hearing so many different updates that have happened and patiently waiting for the right moment, I got it again. And I was very pleasantly surprised. Being able to see npcs almost instantly where I had some dialogue choice was so satisfying. I’m glad I waited all these years for it to improve, because that wait feels rewarded.

[@thebaffman4898]

The "all enemies level with you" update was the most half baked thing they added to the game. Apart from being out of place (the game clearly wasn't built with it in mind), they didn't even bother to accommodate for it within the existing game systems. So now, if you are an high level character, there's an absurd number of extremely bullet-spongy enemies in the game that only drop something like two bullets and some other crap. This change alone made me rage quit the game and never return to it.

[@andrewbrock3675]

Your build must have been terrible. I can 2 or 3 shot every enemy in the entire game, even westek super mutants, that isn't the SBQ or Earl...

Make a better build, I can 2-4 hit people in VATS, w/out a heavy gun.

[@hermos3602]

How are level scaling enemies in 76 out of place when it has been a thing in previous Fallout games, to an extent? Also, you must have a terrible build if you have trouble killing level 100 Super Mutants because I don't have a problem killing them. And most people who play the game don't.

[@synergygaming65]

Probably a shitty build. I had a few people on my stream suggest doing this and that for a build (mutations as well) to the point most enemies in Ops and Events are dropped quickly.

I will give fallout 76 this. Playing an online fallout game gives you the chance to experience how the fallout community in the form of an online game. The fallout 76 community is shockingly political and respectful.

[@Spphy]

The reason I couldn't get into the original "chasing ghosts" main storyline was because it was ruined beforehand BY the very showcases that announced the game. It became SUPER apparent very quickly that whatever lead or next audio log you found that hinted at life and other people surviving was always false, it was always too late, they are all dead and gone and whatever you can find will always be scorched, robots or audio logs - the very sense of the story, narrative and pacing for discovery and exploration was ruined by the very first marketing with the players being the only humans. You knew the outcome, you knew you were just chasing the next audio log and what the end was so the motivation to keep going to see what happens next was lost on me. Fallout 76 for me now is a game I enjoy with a very specific friend of mine that LOVES fallout aswell and whenever we both feel like playing fallout at the same time, we jump on 76 - because those moments are not focused on story, they are not focused on any pacing - it's just two friends, playing on a private world, having fun exploring buildings for no other reason than to do it together and see new places.

[@rig-zag]

I'm still waiting for the patch for true offline single player mode. Just cant bring myself to leave the vault and venture out online.

[@primusofcatarina4910]

Have people nowadays never heard of a spin off before? Fallout 76 is a masterpiece compared to their previous once like Battlespire or Redguard. What I don't understand is the people got mad at this game not because of the bugs but because the game was exactly what was advertised. It was clearly always depicted as a multiplayer game without friendly NPCs. When I first heard about fo76 I simply ignored it because I'm not a fan of multiplayer games. I'll never get those people that will buy 76 and get insanely mad because it's not fallout 5.

[@gurlgunz666]

[@numb1gxfan]

I think people aren't really mad at 76 anymore, its that 76 wasn't Fallout 5. Been saying that since the game came out. I think single player players are pissed off that a Fallout game exists they won't play. I gave it a chance, and I don't regret buying it.

[@sleepypanda5068]

Ive been playing it recently and i gotta say im enjoying it. I hopped back in on a lvl 20 character and went straight into the brotherhood of steel story and i like it. Very interactive and optional in choices and playstyle. I like it.

[@WarNvrChanges]

I use to hate on Fallout 76 really hard. I was just so let down with the game at launch that I didn’t play it for years. Then I gave it another try after all the dlcs and it’s actually a good game for what it is. Unfortunately once you complete the storyline you’re left with nothing to do but redo the same events over and over. I just wish Fallout 76 got regular updates that included good story based content and new places to explore. Farming and rolling for legendary weapons and armor is kinda fun but what’s the point when there’s nothing left to do?

[@Tattletale-Delta]

"Unfortunately once you complete the storyline you’re left with nothing to do..." This is a common complaint I see in forums when people compare 76 to the previous games. And they always get tons of upvotes. And I'm just always baffled, because in the previous games, once you complete the story..... it's the same way. And New Vegas doesn't even let you play after beating the main story, you revert to a save just before doing the final mission if you want to play more.

[@WarNvrChanges]

@@Tattletale-DeltaThe world of 76 is huge, 4 times the size of Fallout 4, but as far as quality content Fallout 4 has well over 4 times what 76 does. Likely 30 times the amount. Fallout 4 and Fallout New Vegas you can go back to a previous save before you sided with a particular faction and play the game all over again and get a completely different experience. You can’t do that in 76. All you can do is start a new character and even then you’re not going to get an experience that much different from the first. Not hating on 76, again it is decent for what it is but it’s not even comparable to a single player Fallout game.

[@jcooloti]

Revisted this game Last week... I've been pretty obsessed and playing an hour or two a day. I have to say. It's pretty great once you get rolling. And all I've been doing is sticking to main quest. It's a slow burn, but its fun. The exploration is really good. The community is helpful. The only annoying thing is occasionally running into someone that an INSANELY high level and decked out to the max full of ridiculous shit... It just seems silly and kind of breaks the immersion, but at least they don't just murder you because its not a hostile community. But its rare you run into those clowns. I pretty much just do my lone wanderer thing and maybe link up with a friend I actually know in real life. It's more fun that way. I have to say though, the game is fun though. It's the only MORPG i've ever played for more than a couple of hours. I see myself playing it for a while.

[@ShadowSonic2]

It's an unusual stance to take, but I thought the Map and Factions in 76 were more thought out and designed better than the ones from Fallout 4. Yes, they're all dead by the time you find them but.... ....The Responders have more of an origin and better execution in their history than the Minutemen did. And a better aesthetic, especially with the Fire Breathers. The Raiders? FINALLY in a Bethesda game we get Raiders who all had distinct leaders AND names, specific locations and differing methods. The Crater folk were very well done. The Free States? Again, I saw these guys as better thought out than the Institute or the Minutemen or the Railroad. The BoS were pushing it, admittedly. And the Whitesprings Enclave with MODUS? I LOVED that.

[@mrplayfulshade]

Raiders are definitely some of the best quests in the game due to the colorful cast of characters

[@noware.3D]

I played this game at launch and didn’t stop until the raids entered the game and I feel I deserve a medal for the level of patience that took. Frames were all over the place and multiple quests were broken and you couldn’t proceed. Idek how or WHY I did it

[@mofantafa]

I loved the storyline and lore not the game itself. All the stories you read and listen to during your play through up to the scorch beast make me wish this was a fallout game where you were a survivor not a vault dweller. You choose whether to help the responders rebuild, become a raider, free states man, enclave, or start of the east coast brotherhood. There could have been so many possibilities but they thought it was better to be a lonely player reading about what could have been.

[@Tattletale-Delta]

I suppose I can agree with that. The story you piece together through notes and terminal entries really does seem a lot more interesting than what we got.

[@doctormoobbc]

I think Bethesda got the wrong end of the stick when it comes to multiplayer. They heard people begging for Skyrim co-op or multiplayer Fallout and took that to mean either an MMORPG or a fully online-based game like F76. Nope. The people actually meant they literally want a game like Skyrim or F4 with the ability to play with a group of friends. Skyrim Together is an AMAZING experience, especially for a mod. People want a rich, detailed, story-driven world that they can share with friends. Todd Howard already knows this. He talks about the "watercooler" moments where you and your friends can talk about how you approached a quest in different ways. So let us do them together! I admire F76 and ESO, I really do. But I hope Bethesda listens when we say we want a co-op experience. We want an unadulterated mainline BGS experience with the ability to "drop in" friends and share in the wonder together.

[@SoryGamesSoryGames563]

Playing this game is pretty much worth it now especially if u have the chance to play it for free.

I never played this game on launch day for obvious reasons lol 😂. However I have been playing this game with all the updates and DLC. I have to say this game is pretty fun dude and plus it doesn’t crash that much anymore. Seriously I can play this game for at least 5 hours and not a single crash will happen. So at launch I would give this game a 4 but now with all the content added, I would give it an 8. Plus the final boss for the Steel Reign DLC was a pleasant surprise. In my opinion it’s the best fallout boss I’ve ever played because I don’t have to worry about keeping my allies alive. They’re invincible in 76.

[@FutureExitsMedia]

Wow, 5 whole hours without a crash? That's... That's still fucking abysmal for a AAA game that's been out for years. Making excuses for shit like this is why we keep getting unfinished and broken games shoved in our faces. It's unacceptable.

[@ApocalypticGaming1214]

Aside from trying fallout 4 and only getting to the part where you meet Preston, I never really played fallout until 76. I started shortly after wastelanders and it’s what got me into the fallout franchise as a whole. After completing the main story line in 76 I decided to give 4 another go and fell in love with it as well. If you ask me 76 is actually a pretty solid fallout game today. There’s actually some things I like more in 76 than 4 but it’s mainly minor things like the 3rd person movement, the ui and leveling system. I know 76 had a very rocky launch which is unfortunate but it will always hold a special place in my heart considering it’s what got me into fallout. Anyway thanks for giving it another go man. If it deserves anything it’s atleast a second chance.
