Fallout 76 - The 2024 Review
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 апр 2024
- Following the Fallout TV show's positive reception, 76 is seeing a massive resurgence. As someone who has been returning to the game for every major update since its release, I'm here to deliver an all encompassing review accounting not just for the base game but all of the major shifts, additions, and updates the game has seen.

They announced today that 1 million players played 76 on Sunday, that's incredible!!
To be clear not on steam, across all platforms combined it hit a million. Still very impressive but I felt the need to sort of clarify further if you don’t mind.
@@craskpillordhe didn’t say it was just on steam lmao wtf are you on about
I never said just steam
Who hurt you . The fact a game that is 6 years old had a million players play it on a single day is beyond insane . Please tell me of another game that has done that recently which is as old and hated to shit from launch
@@JasonArnold117 Was just adding extra info man, idk why people take things so bad. Im not attacking you, I wasn’t saying you said anything wrong. Just adding more information so future people can have more context. I don’t see the problem. But people can keep jumping down my throat all they want. ✌🏼
I didn’t even word my comment with any hostility, yet I get “wtf are you on about” just instant vitriol and misunderstanding for no reason.
The show is a pure example on how to do a game based show RIGHT & that other studios need to take notes from it (Looking at you halo)
As a Halo fan, I completely agree
Correct, as a halo fan that show actually damaged the brand. That's how fkin bad it was.
Cyberpunk show was good
HAHA yea right.
actually the Halo show is pretty good too.
starting from level 1 is way more fun
Why
Yeah unless you’re someone like me who has every character over level 200 on 2 accounts. That headstart is nice
Nah. I started at lvl 20 and its very enjoyable.
@@TwosClues theres no right way but starting at lvl 1 let's you better fine tune your build since you pick the cards yourself at every lvl up. you can also max out early perks when starting from 1 before even hitting 20
i tried to play this game yesterday and i cannot disagree more. i literally quit playing, i imagine if i had started at 20 i would've given it a longer chance. early game is unbearably boring.
If you look at 76 for what it is (a MMO in the fallout universe) it's a pretty solid game right now
Not really mmo. Its too poor in its online features for that.
Fallout 4 online with more grind more likely
It's ok, ESO is still so, so ,so much better. ESO is essentially immaculate.
Thats what i’ve said to my friends you need to set your expectations right before playing 76 and when you do, you’ll have a great time with the game
@@RT-pi4pvESO is garbage, especially the terrible combat.
@@hardcorenacho1020 And have friends to play with.
Paid full price pre order on xbox one and played like 3 hours, never got a refund, had a bad taste in my mouth from it. gamepass pc + fallout show made me wanna try it again. really having a blast now! still wish i didnt pay for it lol
I wish more day one players would give 76 another shot in 2024. The game has come a long way.
@@perceivedvelocity9914 its really really fun now, I understand what you mean! all my friends are downloading it now lol
Yeah. I was one of the folks that paid full price on Steam at launch. Eventually got pissed off by the jank and exploits and wandered off just before Wastelanders. Came back a couple of years later and loved it! Been out for a while for reasons, but I can definitely say it's much better now than it was originally. Still salty about the quick price drop, though.
@@perceivedvelocity9914 alot of day one 76 players actually stayed lol
Playing for the first time on PS Plus. Guess it’s good I waited.
It's important to understand the type of gameplay 76 offers. Potential players who expect a more traditional RPG will be turned off by the online features which will break immersion. But interested players can choose to play the campaign solo and never join a team or public events. Put their focus on upgrading and tweaking character builds, get creative with camp building, stock your camps vending maching with items to sell other players, event hop to get resources to roll legendary weapons, go find collectables to get the entire set to display for others, or many other activities. Appalachia is your sandbox go find your fun.
Been needing this to be honest. I've tried to play 76 multiple times over the past week but can't get myself to enjoy it. Maybe it was just my mindset we'll see
I have played all games multiple times since the very first..... I also just can't get into 76 after picking it up for free from Amazon Prime Gaming a few days ago, it just does not feel like fallout and has zero immersion. The graphics in it are just awful, I would have expected more, when you look into the distance and not right in front of you it all just looks very cartoonish and I just can't play.
I am just waiting for Fallout London mod to be released on 29th April
@@bonsai9069 Too bad Bethesda shot that one in the head too now with the 0 waring game overhaul to FO4. These idiots should understand by now that their games are held up by a modding community since they site that as the reason they are still using this shit engine and yet god forbid giving them a heads up that things are changing. Wish Microsoft would just take these IP away from Bethesda and dissolve them with the way they are mishandling these IP.
I tried , it just doesn’t feel very Fallout to me , lots of quests I don’t have any interest in whatsoever
. I didn’t felt this way about fallout 4 which in my eyes is still true fallout game after new Vegas and Fallout 1 and 2
Am I the only one who misses Nuclear Winter matches in 76? I only got to play it for a couple of months before they took it away, but if they brought it back as a seasonal thing I would definitely play it
I would dabble for sure if it came back
It definitely needed some love from the devs, like more map areas (The Cranberry Bog would have been awesome!), and there were issues with people cheating on pc that would take a lot to fix. However, I really started playing it when they announced its removal and I really enjoyed it. I agree that it would be cool it they offered it seasonally.
I loved that game mode!
Dude, that br was dope too bad it got no support
The br was actually really fun, I’ll take it over quantum world anyday
Never thought that fallout 76 would be liked and talked about more than the current cod title MWIII, 6 years after its launch
That’s cuz cod sucks
@@olgagagarina4166 it does but its still massive so its cool that fallout is bigger rn when the last release was 6 years ago
@@i_3at_5oap80that’s because fallout just got a tv show lol and cod dropped months ago
@@camcam8995 Also, some effort was made to improve FO76, where as CoD not so much
It's just because it's free LMFAO. Not a good game.
this game is my comfort game atm
Agreed I been really hooked
Same, after the show I was thinking about playing fallout 4 but I put that game down kike 4 times in the past. I never tried 76 so everything is new to me and it feels pretty fun.
Always loved Fallout 4, played New Vegas a little while back and really like it too. Didn't think I'd be open to playing a game as old as Fallout 1 but played it after seeing the show and absolutely loved it. Can't wait to get through 2, 3 and 76 because let's be honest. Fallout is the GOAT of video game franchises.
please play Fallout 3
Play tale of 2 wastelands it merges fallout 3 and new Vegas into one and can enjoy the best of both.
Fallout 2 and new vegas are my favorites because of the humor
For the love of Christ play 3 please, I would trade a finger to play that game for the first time again
you are in for a treat with 2. get the highwaymen asap
Actually a perfect time for a review for me personally. I’ve been wondering if 76 is fun now after it’s had some time for updates
It’s really fun.
In 2018 I hated. Played for maybe 2 or 3 times and just dropped just picked it up Sunday with my son and we played all day. It's actually pretty good. Just go into open minded and maybe start over. Give it some time.
Don't expect a mind blowing story, but 76 goes back to the old dialogue design of Fallout 3 and New Vegas where your build, or missions you've completed prior, influence your dialogue options. It's funny actually. Fallout 76, an online game, offers far more player choice in storylines than Fallout 4, an offline "rpg".
@@Tattle-by-Tale I didnt waste money on 76, and i still havent.
I love it, been loving it since the wastelanders update.
I just started playing Fallout 76 and so far, most of the people I’ve encountered have been so nice. From dropping stimpacks, plans & letting me tag along to events even though I’m severely under levelled. My experience has been great so far because I haven’t had to do it alone, I learn a lot faster by watching other people and following their lead.
Meanwhile I am playing 76 cause I’ve given it another try and have been enjoying it. Honestly the last time I played I think it stopped because I got a bit overwhelmed with the trying to do the scoreboard but now I’m like damn I wish I would’ve finished the board for the subjugator armor
Me also is just the shooting bullet animation that makes a bit upset the rest is fine for me. Not sure if there is an option to turn it off. But if i am using an automatic rifle i can see the bullets in a yellow animation..is so weird and feels slow. Do you have that also?
76 is better then how it use to be years ago 🎉
The bar was VERY low LOL
@@mryan89agree. People say it’s so much better, but that boring mess didn’t take much to make it better
@@enclavesoldier769but why did people put hundreds of hours in at launch yeah you found it boring but others found it truly engrossing.
@vintageoriginallegit People who like Fallout 76 to play that much especially at launch have autism. They don't count.
Still 5/10
It may not have the best gunplay or story in the series, but I firmly believe that Appalachia is the best map ever created for a Fallout game. There are so many cool little locations, secrets, and genuinely breathtaking vistas. The verticality of the map makes it so much more enjoyable to explore. I’ve put in about 10 hours over the weekend, and it’s mostly just been hiking through the mountains, looking for places to set up camp.
seriously? Better than 4's map. Impressive, if this is the case.
@@xman777b I do like 4’s map. The cities are definitely a highlight, for sure. Crater, Foundation, and Fort Atlas are all pretty lacking compared to Diamond City. But the topography and variety of locations in 76 really are a spectacle.
@@xman777b It is! There are different biomes in 76 that are just so cool and tons of little secrets to discover.
no seriously what does 16 times the detail even mean
That it's better than 15 times the detail?
Ok so ? You looking for a reason why fallout 76 still sucks ?🤣
Matty you have been doing a lot of good content lately. Thank you.
Thanks for tuning in :)
Literally started watching your channel like 12 years ago. Glad to see how you still making content for the games I love !
I played fallout 76 and i am now level 30. It has been fun so far with friends. You can tell this is not a great game but it was with 80% discount so we gave it a try. The only thing that really upsets me is the weapon bullets delay, when we shoot a weapon we can see the bullets in like a bit yellow animation which makes looks like they go slower, and the enemies always like a delay to getting hit and then falling down. When i play fallout 4 the combat and the shooting is smooth fast and accurate. I didn't notice this much on fallout 76 with pistols but with automatic rifles it looks and feels so weird. Not sure if there is an option to disable.
It might be wonky servers. Try hopping worlds.
So i tried a mod called Faster bullet tracers from nexus mods and improved so much. The bullet trace is smaller and faster. Much much better gameplay.
The character building aspects of this game are the best. The perk card system, the legendary perk cards, mutations, the ability to save and switch builds with the click of a button, etc.
Also the variety of guns and armor is awesome too.
Perk cards are one of the cooler aspects of this game.
If you dont enjoy base building, its still not that bad.
All I did was a floor, 4 walls and a roof. Threw a bunch of crafting benches, a bed and piano (For temp buffs) and a vending machine to sell stuff to players
one of the best online game ive played in last years, soooo much content and fun
also the map is..giant and interactive
I'm level 308 in the game and I'd actually go back to it if they added cross progression. I upgraded to a PC and it's so jarring going back to play on the PS4
Upgraded to a pc around 8/9years ago along with my cousin and we cant even go back and play 30fps games because it gives us headaches or makes us feel sick PC is the way forward forsure we always laugh and joke about how many hrs we spent playing on the 360/ps3 at 30/25fps
Are you using the same bethesda account on both systems?
God how much money did that game cost you
PC is the only way!
I was a level 360 something and then my Xbox stopped working, I had a ps5 but didn't want to start over so I was putting off starting a new character for a long time. I watched the TV show and got the itch and surprisingly didn't take me too long to get into the flow of enjoying progressing a new character.
I’ve been playing through fallout 3 recently and I started playing New Vegas again and I played 76 since launch but eventually stopped playing. I currently don’t have an online Xbox subscription to be able to play 76 again. And after the next gen update for fallout 4 I will reinstall it and play it again and I can’t wait!
On PC, you don't have to buy an additional subscription just to play games online.
@@Tattle-by-Tale yeah well I don’t have a pc powerful enough to run most games
@@Texascowboy68 I've been there, I used to be a console gamer. But I've saved money switching to pc. The initial price was steep, but I don't have to worry about monthly online subscriptions and I could buy a game now and it would remain playable forever on the same pc. None of that "buying the same game for a new generation of console" bs.
Yea...
Playing it now. Level 99 and I'm liking it still. It's fallout 4 just no pausing and vats system bit different but similar. The quests and the factions are better than 4 imo
I agree. It mostly does everything 4 did better. People hate the truth
I am a new player i am level 30 now. The only thing im noticing is the automatic rifles bullets show a yellow animation and feel slow is like the bullets travell slower.. and is so weird. I didn't noticed as much with handguns. Is there a setting for this? For example in 9:54 we can see the bullets with a yellow trace.
@@Silverlion_90 No setting, but there is a mod for faster bullet tracers. PC only of course.
@@Tattle-by-Tale thanks i think i found it. Yes i am playing on pc. Will try to install tomorrow.
@@Tattle-by-Tale i just tried it with the mod Faster bullet traccers. And the shooting feels 1000 times better. Way more enjoyable now. :)
I’ll say this new update actually looks to be interesting ( for what it is). But as a Fallout fan Fallout 76 will never be what most Fallout fans are looking for, it’ll never scratch that itch. We want a single player Fallout game with real choice and consequences that actually impact the Wasteland. I say this as someone who has played all of the Fallout games, including F76. I’ve got a level 490 character in F76, but I haven’t played the game in over a year and a half now. Really the only reason I even played F76 was because I’m such a big fan of Fallout and it’s the only new Fallout experience we’ve got in close to a decade.
I want it to have co-op as well.
You had to of had a pretty good time at some point to have a level 490 character.
I played it for 300 hours and only got to level 125 for comparison lol
@@joker6558 Yes I actually had a decent time during the first 50 to 75 levels of my character ( nowhere near close to what I did with FO4 or New Vegas but still a decent time) but after that a mindlessly grinned levels doing the same exact events over and over and over again. Also it helps to know I had a god tier legendary weapon ( grenade launcher) that killed everything in one shot so I leveled up EXTREMELY fast after obtaining that weapon. Every event I did I’d level up twice.
@@WarNvrChanges well, no game lasts forever. Most MMOs are grinds from start to finish, so, to me, this one stood out as not being a grind until the end, at which point I quit. I returned back to it a few days ago and have had quite a bit of fun with it now that I took that long hiatus
@@joker6558 I get that, no game lasts forever. But with that said I return to the other Fallouts (Fallout 4 and New Vegas) far more than I do Fallout 76. There’s just so much more replay ability with the single player games than with 76.
Is the new atlantic city questline even worth doing? Thinking about downloading it again
The Pitt wasn't fun IMO. I've enjoyed the Atlantic City expeditions.
I would just keep in mind Expeditions are meant to serve as repeatable end game content. So they are not particularly long and are more of a shooting galary to earn Stamp currency.
There is so much more to do in the game if you are a new player AND the map expansion is coming soon. FOr me, the best quests were the Cryptid questlines.
Yes. Plus there's a map expansion coming in June with an entire new main questline.
Been with you since Survivor 2099 Matty. Today, I passed my baccalaureate exam in college. Thanks for the great content, as always. ❤
Didn´t like it when it came out and even refunded it, it´s the first Bethesda game I´ve ever refunded, but now it´s been almost a week since I bought it again and gave it another shot, and it really surprised me, I can´t imagine the amount of work the devs must have put over the years to turn an empty fallout game into a proper game worthy of being among the franchise, I am really enjoying it right now, may not be the best fallout, at least for me, but it´s definitely worth playing now.
I actually started playing again since the very beginning with my son and it's actually not bad. I enjoyed it.
I’ve always loved 76 but I think what’s been at the heart of keeping me engaged so long is the legendary script/cores and the treasury notes you can turn into gold bullion that when done properly can net you some the best stuff of any fallout game. The events really keep it all rolling. Great review!
76 has been way more fun than I expected. The perk system is way better than FO4s, but some of the server-side flaws do throw out the immersion at times. It does deliver on the RPG elements Bethesda offers at least, and free-roaming this map is a blast, its so huge and filled in with dungeons to explore.
Absolutely did not like 4 at all and tried beating it multiple times and couldn’t. Replaying it again on survival and absolutely loving it. It feels like that’s how it was supposed to be played. And the settlement system is so addicting.
Vanilla or mods ?
I loved Fallout 4's survival mode, the only complaint I had with it was the only saving upon sleeping system. Which I luckily managed to find a mod on ps4 to fix, with that it was truly great.
as a newer player myself who started with the preset builds, i'd recommend starting at lvl 1 instead. i got to lvl 25 where you can respec your character, but most of the cards i had i didn't even want to use. starting at lvl 1 lets you pick a perk card at every lvl for a tighter build
great review!thorough, not sugar coated. love to see it. i am literally the guy who came up with perk loadouts but got no credit! not even 5 atoms:(
I appreciate you, brother. Thank you very much for making the game better
Started Fallout 76 without knowing about the show in January. Im still playing it and i like it better than 4.
Its surprisingly heartwarming to see so many low levels when im playing
I tried to go back... but it's still not for me. I'll try Fallout 4 update.
Jumped back into 76 and enjoying it. Almost ran into areas that were contented to be lvl 30+ while I was lvl 5 and had to run or go around these areas but felt like I was going in the right direction thanks the quest locations. I did have to focus quest a lot due to so many events popping up and side quests. I even found high level quests and armor in low lvl areas which peaked my interest in returning to the beginning areas to see what new quests are popping up.
Can I ask, sorry if already answered but it's free on ps plus ATM with one expansion available to buy, does that mean that all the others before that paid expansion are included in the free version?
I play on PC. I don’t think you need go buy any expansions. Maybe those pertains to items like skin or power armor, but not the locations or missions.
The expansions and “battle pass” are all free (although the battle pass does have some locked items behind fallout 1st). The only things you can purchase are all optional and not needed to play any extra content
I feel genuinely bad for anyone who watches the show and then boots up 76.
I did as it was the only fallout I haven't played, I don't regret it, I'm actually enjoying it. I'm sure the 1 million players that logged in Sunday enjoyed it too
@@morty2630 yep and just like with a cyberpunk and Edgerunners, they won't be sticking around because they're just tourists.
Microsoft should approve Fallout 76 engine upgrade to Creation Engine 2.
They would need to remake the entire game. A lot of things are tied to the engine, not only graphics.
My fiancé and I started a fresh play through of 76 after watching the show, I’ve been on fallout since fallout 3 but this is her first fall out game and she absolutely loves it, the music, the setting, all things fallout are hitting for her and it’s awesome to watch another Bethesda fan happen right in front of me, cherry on top is I can actually join her in her journey through coop. I always thought 76 was a fantastic idea they just blew it at launch, this is how it should have been released. Loving it
I always had the feeling you didn't play the game enough. I know the endgame experience has it pros and cons, legendary farming was horrific for years, but the dynamics of the game with a full build compared to playing with whatever weapon you find with whatever ammo you got left is completely different. I might be wrong, but I always got the feeling you experienced every patch with a character that never reached the level to finish a build and really enjoy the game, and that's why none of the patches before caught your attention.
Still hate the fact they removed nuclear winter it was so fun
Im about 6 or 7 hours in. Game just doesn't flow well. Go do this quest, now do this, now do this... Nothing seems interlinked.
Thats.... Literally fallout 4 or every Bethesda game wtf are you talking about???
@@tomgu2285 fallout 4 sucks too tbf. 3 and NV, even starfield to a point, you had quests that lead in to quests and factions and new areas. In 76 it's very, very separate even singular quest lines themselves can feel random and not even part of the quest your on. I guess a lot of that is because the updates were slowly released over a long time so there's no flow and incorporation to building a world. Works well with dlc like 3 and NV had well after the game was released as you were sent in to completely new parts of the world.
@@haloforever7118 well NV isn't made by Bethesda of course it's good.
Yesterday i bought a premium pass for half off, and with the private server, it's actually been really fun. It's enemy variety is really good, and i like the random bosses you find, and the events that pop up. Playing with just my friends is cool, and i wish private servers were free.
Occasionally, they offer free trials of Fallout 1st. And all dlc is free, so they have to make money somehow. I don't mind having FO 1st as I think it is worth it because I am genuinely entertained by the game.
Thanks for the review, I'm starting the game now in 2024 after having lurked for a long time :D
I really liked all the details and tips on updates etc. you did but also thanks a lot for going into the bugs etc.
See the thing is... comparing F76 to the other single player Fallout games was always gonna go bad. But when you put F76 next to similar games(MMORPGS) like DCUO, Black Desert Online, ESO, and Warframe its still failing but its not as bad
It annoys me that people come into fallout 76 thinking it’s gonna be like fallout 4 or new Vegas. It’s a grind game and different from the other fallouts, but people just love complaining
@@TheGlowingOneeBecause they expect a Fallout game similar to what came before?
@@SteelSpurs yes actually because people don't look at it in its proper framing with complaints like the enemies are spongy ( ok and so are they in every other MMO), the story decisions aren't that impactful (if they were it would literally alter the landscape for other players and ruin it) , it's grindy (that's literally what you do in an MMORPG). It reminds me of people who complain about The Division 1+2 enemies being spongy (Well that's because it's an RPG first before it's a 3rd person shooter) 😕
@@SteelSpurs well that’s too bad, not every fallout game is gonna be the same.
@@TheGlowingOnee No one's saying that, but when you have the same engine, graphics, and pretty much everything from your past game... it's not that hard to make comparisons.
I started Fallout 76 today and I'm LOVING it so far
Welcome home!
Hey Matty; have you tried the Skyline Valley update on the PTS? It seems very promising so far!
Yes!! Personally been playing since beta on Xbox and PC, finished all the quest-lines four separate times, at this point I am a little bored. But theres a ton of content here for new players and you can pick the game up for like $9.00 dollars on sale quite often. There is fun to be had here solo or with friends questing, trading, building, expeditions, exploring and doing events. While I wish they would bring back Nuclear Winter, I would say it’s worth it in 2024.
I’m playing it. I was a beta tester. It was bad and it’s less bad now. It only feels good because we’re in a fallout game drought. It will quickly be overshadowed by literally anything else.
I don't believe this, because all of your past comments are just you hating on bethesda games.
Starfield?
@@blickedxb Don’t believe I’m playing it? Or don’t believe it’s only good because there’s no other substantial fallout game content?
Anybody screaming about immersion....
Let me see that Fallout 4 mod list of yours
😉
Modded FO4 will always be better and more immersive than 76. But hey if you like the most busted AI bugthesda has done and people running up to you in their cute little mtx costume hitting you with the fortnite emotes while you grind MMO dailies good for you and your immersion!
@@killbabies0341 My comment seems to have lodged itself in your feelings.
Who are you shouting at?
Stop whining like a cry baby.
Yes I like it. What's your problem?
@@killbabies0341 Also.
Hey there's another settlement that needs your help. Here I'll mark it on your map.
@@JoeRowland90 But I love fo4 :( reminds me of home and nuka world always had a soft spot for me
Finally, a very good in-depth re-review of this game. In summary, you have to treat this game as a Fallout Online-co-op game, and not as the usual single-player sandbox experience we are used to. Separate expectations, and you will be fine.
Also, the good thing about the Battle Pass is that it’s free; you don’t have to purchase it like in most games that have one. If you have Fallout 1st, you get a few extra rewards, but not at the level of being a separate Premium Battle Pass like in other games either.
How do you lower down aim settings mine is so high
I want something like Far Harbor where shit is crazy strong and you gotta be 50+ to step foot on
Far harbor is easy
@@The-Red-Menace your moms easy
Tbh I wish the Perk Card system was in F4. The Perk Chart is messy cause it has so many boring perks that are just there cause they removed Skills. The Perk Cards are more concise and more fun to build with, and if Skills aren’t coming back I’ll go with the Perk Cards over that awful Chart any day.
But they're easier to see all the perks on the pip boy in fallout 4.
Fallout is in my top 3 favorite videogame franchises. I can't play 76 for longer than a few hours . I'm lvl 60 and still feel like I just left the vault and think this is the first fallout I'm playing wrong . No cool guns or gear , I barely know what's going on , not a big fan of the setting and then log out for months at a time. I don't think I'll ever "fall in love" with 76 regardless what they add and will just wait for 5 or a remake.
You could always meet the Overseer at the end of the main quest. Also plenty of post-Wastelanders additions beyond quest vital characters. There weren’t *any* humans beyond other players and the Overseer, no raiders or anything.
I played it for about 1000 hours I stopped just after the Brotherhood content.
Coming back the game is so fun now. So much to do and a lot of my annoyances have been fixed.
Just small quality of life things. Extra camps, extra special and character build slots that you can switch to on the fly.
Create your own legendry gear.
No more or very, very few glitched weapons.
I got 100-165 fps now all the time.
If it's an event with 12+ people spamming explosions it can dip but I don't care.
Mass looting, glowing dead bodies.
Remove power armor HUD etc.
What do you in endgame? Expeditions are trash
@@manyamaggot Because I took a big break for me there's a lot to do.
I also started again on a fresh character... I wanted to see it from a new player POV.
So basically for me there is everything to do.
Usually I don't have a plan I just join events, check my dailies... hand in legendary stuff for scrip and treasury notes for gold. Hit my cap limits, then I go and farm resources and see what happens.
I can’t believe how much fun I’m having with it right now. It’s a solid game. I’m glad they never abandoned it and worked on it until it was something comparable to FO4, in some ways I prefer it.
I started playing recently for the first time and started from level 1. I did this because in other fallout games, I actually enjoyed the struggle of running low on bullets, low skills, etc at the beginning.
My man, I’ve been watching your channel since you lived at your mom’s house. Good stuff, brother!
The Quest story of the mountain raiders and the robot Rose is sad and incredible.
Hard pass. 3 and new vegas are what ive returned to
As a new player, I can say I’m getting booted from server’s all the time especially during peak hours.
It’s painful with slow loading screens.
I've never played 76 for the reasons mentioned. The way Bethesda handled the launch debacle was upsetting, and I loved Fallout 3, 4, and New Vegas. I might give it a shot since it's on Game Pass right now. Thank you for your honest recent review, Matty.
Literally enjoying this game more than any fallout ive ever played im officially never listening to youtube impressions again
Most impressions and reviews of the game were at launch when the game was mediocre at best. It's in a much better state now.
@PageRage92 i doubt that, i know it's greatly improved but i'm pretty sure i would have been one of the people that enjoyed it at launch just like i was one of the people that enjoyed Cyberpunk at launch. Theres a large very dedicated base of players that have been playing and celebrating this game for years. If you talk to them youl find it was really fj**ed up in the beginning but theyve always loved the game. They have these massive beautiful and creative camps that they've devoted hours to building. I think they knew something that most people didn't, i dont think they were wrong i think WE were. One of thw first things i noticed is how many barriers a new player has to overcome before the game opens up, its fun to see your character become more powerful in mea ingful ways but that is only appealing to a certain type of player. i guarantee most people played it for ten minutes and decided it was trash and moved on. I'm sure the game runs far better and it's content is easier to access but like cyberpunk the core of what it is has always existed.
I've watched RUclips negativity algorithms ruin so many great games in the last few years. I dont trust people who's monetary incentivization is to validate the prevailing opinions of heard mentalities. Particularly when the prevailing opinions are from a small subsection of consumers so prone to impatience, superficiality, negatvity, entitlement and tribalism.
I dont watch corporate news for political opinions for the same reason. When I was younger I used to believe what was generally believed to be true was generally true. As I've gotten older it's occurred to me that what is genuinely believed to be true is generally lacking any nuance amd is more often then not incorrect.
I mean, it's $0 right now, so it's by default worth it.
You saying how this game has fallen short or just off of your expectations at the end is such an amazing piece of advice for new players who are enjoying the game. Seriously no better way to put it!
FO76 is fun, has lots of potential, but besides wastelanders most content updates have been off. They have brought cool items and content but just never where it should be.
Hopefully we see this game reach the heights we’d hope for it. But every content update I can at least say 76 gets a little better and better. 🤙🏼
I've been playing for about two years. It was most enjoyable while following the questline, but not as much after you've finished it. But I've always stuck around enjoying the worlds of Bethesda games long after I've finished them, so I'm still logging in daily. The new players since the TV show have really changed things just with their being there. The large numbers of new players make the world seem more alive to me. I enjoy launching nukes solo, and it was getting more difficult to do as there were so many players wanting to do the same thing. It's a lot easier now to do it since so many players in the world are not progressed to the stages of the game that allow it.
If anything it's worth playing just for the community. They're great they will help you if you need it. They'll welcome you in and try to teach you about the game. Unlike those horrendous NV fans who lead you to your demise at quarry junction and constantly whine and complain about everything.
I checked out a few opinions on the other side and omg its bad. I'm convinced some people despise Bethesda and will never give them any credit. A lot of the people don't even know why their mad at Bethesda.
@@numb1gxfan they think obsidian is the reason New Vegas was so good. When it was heavily carried by a whole and assets designed and provided by Bethesda. That same company did their own game and it ended up being mid and forgotten.
My 76 review: Nope!
from the wastelanders update onwards ive loved fallout 76 its in my top 3 fallout games, and with the upcoming map expansion and main questline update it really is the best its ever been
Ive been utterly obsessed with this game the past week.
I really enjoy the quests, it pretty chill, stumbling across the remnants and the story there, do wish there where more random npcs at locations with side quests but its not the end of the world, what is there is good.
Totally agree that the old story stuff was enhanced by the introduction of npcs too.
If Bethesda would just allow players to host their own worlds and mod the game without having to pay for it that would get me to play it and fix it (to me).
76 is garbage in my eyes still without these changes
Game sucks. The END.
There ya have it lol
Thanks for revisiting this game! I’m a newcomer to Bethesda games and the show + Starfield are what finally got me into these games (despite being a big Xbox fan during 360 days yet not playing Skyrim). Picked this game up for “free” via a free trial of Amazon Prime and codes that work for both the PC and Xbox versions. Definitely wanted to try this after picking up the classics (1 & 2) and 3 + New Vegas and 4.
So just to be clear, stash limit is no longer a thing or are the items just lighter? Great video buddy, thanks! :D
There lighter
No it is not worth playing.
Nearly 300 hours in 76. I love it. Something just hooked me with it.
My problem with expeditions, is that I have built up, surprise surprise, a very stealthy sniper character. Big damage but only if unseen. Several times each expeditions is like an auto detection and turns into 100 deaths and hundreds of rounds used
Thanks for a nice comprehensive revisit. I’m 300 hours in and I still haven’t completed all that many main quests 😂
Unrelated to the video, but the hair is looking fire Matty. Did you use any specific hair product before recording this?
I’ve been doing a rosemary oil treatment to it before I shower most days. I stopped shampooing my hair every shower too and started applying my conditioner differently. Wild difference now although I think it’s too long to actually see.
I agree one of the best communities of any online game!
You mentioned the stash limit not being a problem anymore. One of my peeves about 76 was that I couldn't hoard like you could in literally every other game without a subscription. I think you might underestimate how much some of us hoard, (Not even weapons or armor just pure scrap) but I'm happy to be proven wrong. I know I started a new game a few years ago and it was still a problem. I'd love to jump back in though.
As someone whos only completed 4 multiple times and hasnt played nv or 3 for more than 12 hours 76 is a fun game. It took me at least 3 tries over the years to actually get into it but i did. Its got its differences from 4 but it has more similarities. Base building is more fun to me since i can have my friends come over. The quest pings the map and carry weight are really the only things i have to complain about.
Since my Xbox broke I haven't been able to play since “night of the moth” and now that I'm coming back to it fresh on ps5 man do all these things sound incredible.
Why not buy a Xbox series x?
Would playing the main quest line just on its own be worth for just 1 playthrough? Can I avoid all the online stuff?
Yes you can play this by yourself, but you will find yourself enjoying visiting other players camps, checking out what they have for sale and trading. I thought I wouldn't like the online aspect as well but it's actually my favorite part about it now
If you don't mind reading/holotapes, the original stories from before Wasteland are great. The story of Rose and her boyfriend David. The flood of Charleston, still haunts me. Sam Blackwell, Raleigh Clay. Harper's Ferry location, my favorite. The current main story has you investigating the origination of The Scorched, people who got infected and do "freeze" eventually. The Overseer wants to find a vaccine to stop it. Then there is the treasure story. Is it real? Lots of side stories. Great stuff.
@@scientistforscience reading and listening to holotapes in games is actually one of my favourite forms of storytelling adds mystery to things
@@dennzer All right then! Some of my favorites include Pleasant Valley Ski Resort terminals, White Springs Resort and the Capitol Building from the original 76. Oxhorn has a youtube playlist Fallout 76 Lore from 5 years ago, if you need any more ideas to follow.
@@scientistforscience thank you
That was a solid take dude. Great video! I agree with all of that. I will say, i started playing again and ive been enjoying it muuuuch more now than in the past. Things dont feel as spongy when it comes to damage and it isnt a constant grind for ammo like it was. I do think theyve made kt a little too easy but, that's what the survival servers are for.
Played since 2019, I've loved seeing it improve over time when I come back to play every few months
I want to get back to the game. Where do I start after Season 1?
I remember buying this game after the Frontier came out.
I tried 76 pre NPCs when it was all read basically. Played for 1hr and quit. I started a new character last night and I think I love it
Last time I played Fallout 76 was right before the steel dawn update, so since the show I wanted to play Fallout again. I started a new character recently, and right outside the vault I was given 11 super stimpaks by a random player. Good community for sure.
I just picked up 76 about a week ago after finishing the tv series. Always been a gamer but had never played a Fallout game. I love Fallout 76...I've been hooked. But, I don't have any other Fallout game to compare it to.
Fallout 76 is honestly a lot of fun in 2024.
Perfect time to put this up. I’ve been trying it out and although different, not bad.
Fyi for any new players thinking of starting this game with a friend. Progress is not shared and there is no actual co op for quests. For example, during quests only the host will see the objectives, your co op partner will see the enemies but will have no context or input on whats happening. Essentially co op is for free roam, public events, and open world exploration. Any questing is essentially solo.
**edit**
Expeditions are the exception for co op questing, but for new players expecting a more traditional co op experience ex).Destiny,Borderlands, it might take a while until you get to the point where Expeditions are worth doing
