No gameranx jingle to start the video really threw me off.
Ikr
It was nice. The chiptune fart noise got old years ago.
It also souns like jake is doing a falcon impression 😂
i thought it was an older video from the title
Who cares you NPC if a little jingle throws you off than you don’t have a mind of your own
As a longtime player, it’s wild seeing all my friends start to play. It was just me in Appalachia for 5 years while my friends stayed in Vault 76
Poetic
Yeah man I miss this game I played it for a few months when it came out and lost interest after a while of nothing but this game and none of my friends wanted to play it
RECLAMATION IS HERE
I bought the collectors shamed to say I didn't really play it much
replaying f4 now definitely plan on getting back in to 76
Is the game worth playing as a single player?.... I'm not really into live service but absolutely love fallout
I decided to start playing yesterday, and I've been pleasantly surprised to this point.
To the man who gave me a hot dog when I left the vault, may our paths cross again.

I’ve been helping every new player with thousands of ammo, caps, purified water, food and plans. I love it man.
you a real one lol
@@TheManbeastmike gotta make it a good experience lmao more players, more content LETS GOOOO🍻
fools do fool things...
@l_stern womp womp
YOU SIR ! are a Gentleman AND a scholar!
The community is so dope when I started some random gave me two legendary weapons and like 60 Stims
Any game can be fun with people. But don't let that fool you into thinking fallout 76 is a good game lol.
@WiltedRaven2 I mean it's good. Not great. I play it like a solo fallout game and have some fun but only when they add questlines then I'm never playing until the next
@@Intr0vertical I just play the older ones. Fallout 76 makes it impossible to play like a real fallout game without paying the monthly fee. Horrible storage space ect. I would not complain if it was free to play as it should be. But I paid 80$ at launch and it is an awefull product for that price even now.
@@WiltedRaven2 the game is shit yet more fun than anything else around
That’s hilarious
It’s the common thing to do
Legendaries in end game drop like flies
And stimpacks… well let’s just say, that idk many people that *DON’T* carry 200+ stims on them
It’s honestly more helpful of you to grab this and lighten our load than it is really for you
But I love the aspect to it, I remember it happening to me years ago, and had the same reaction, now I do it everytime I see anyone under level 50
It’s a great community, all together in the wasteland, the loop is fun too, so many events that can pop up
you know a show is good when Gameranx and Falcon still making a before you buy for a fallout 76😂💀
Yes, from all the Fallout 76s out there, the 2024 version is definetly the best one, it's worth the Before you buy.
Out of no where all of a sudden people making videos about fallout
Only compared it to new Vegas 3 separate Times
@@AlexLopez-wh6fg Almost every major youtuber💀
@@justinnnnnn it just works🤣😂
The advertisement for the store stuff is always in the main menu, not whilst you’re playing the game and then the notifications for events, well that’s actually helpful because the events are the best part of the game, they always give good xp, are typically pretty fun and you end up walking out them with at least 2 legendary items most of the time
Yeah his take that the events dont seem to fit with the atmosphere of the fallout universe is kinda a bad take because 76 is about a valt that opened so that the land around it could be resettled, of course theres going to be events as youre not the only survivor as is the case with most fallout games
@@UnreachableString Yeah agreed, I feel like he was really stretching to say something negative about the game
Well hold on, if the items are “legendary” they should be rare. Not something easily obtained. I am open to debate this topic. But thank you for the clarification of the store stuff.
@@TheChris2hill So the way legendary items work in Fallout 76 is;
Legendary effects are found on Weapons, Armour and Power Armour.
There are three tiers of legendary, 1 Star, 2 Star and 3 Star (each star represents a legendary effect unique to each slot, for example you can only get the Two Shot legendary effect on the first legendary slot for a ranged weapon)
Now most of the 1 star legendary effects are negligible at best (like the ghoul slayer or mutant slayer effect which offers a boost in damage against those particular enemies), whilst others are really good like the Two Shot (doubles damage and projectiles) and Quad Ammunition effect (triples the ammo capacity).
Anyway to save time, there are a lot of weapons and armour in the game plus a lot of legendary effects and builds for those things to cater towards, so to get something that fits your build can be quite hard/rare even when you are constantly receiving legendary items (sometimes you receive a really good legendary item but it doesn’t fit your build) just most of the time the legendary items are just picked up to be sold for a currency that lets you purchase random legendary items with a choice of Armour, Power Armour, Ranged Weapon or a Melee Weapon.
I added this game to my cart on April 19th (on Steam) for $8, and while checking out the clock struck 12:00 p.m. and when I went to enter my payment info the sale ended and the price jumped back up to $60 lol
I missed the sale by about 2 minutes
Brooooo I feel you 😢😂
Yo, it's still free on prime! Go pick it up there guys, it's still a chance :)
@xXxMrRazorxXx, it's not free if you have to pay for a subscription to access it.
@@xXxMrRazorxXx if you have Amazon prime it’s a good option, but id try and pick it up the full game somewhere else, because I don’t think you can use mods right? Iv not actually ever got anything on Amazon, for gaming, just on steam and Xbox game pass, do mods work on Amazon for gaming?
@@Kronix86 that’s true. But still cheap option for anyone who can’t afford the full game, I had it on game pass for ages until I got it on steam, I was on PlayStation before of tho, many years ago :)
If you have to quit and reload the game before you leave the vault you'll respawn back in the starting room, behind an impassable, locked door... just like when the game first launched.
Door. Door never changes ;)
Who wonders?
In Skyrim, you still have to leave the Cave abnd reenter it to continue the still broken Quest with the Werewolf.
And you still can get both rewards as the Quest is utterly broken.
Thats Beth.
Door glitch still works too I’m sure
“Door never changes” made my day 😂
i think i lucked out i quit as soon as i made my character and when i came back door… door had changed.
What a lie lmao. a miserable hater. i started with 5 friends and none of has that issue, and neither did the 3 streamers i watched.
Long time player here. I went to log in today and I'm happy and sad that the servers are over loaded. Welcome all new players I can't wait to log in.
Garbage game unfortunately, just play new Vegas
@@dongvermine Why do all new vegas fans have to be so obnoxious? Yes, it's probably my favourite. But it doesn't make every other game worthless lol. You're just jumping on the band wagon there
@@dethdaemoni'm a New Vegas fan, and i'm playing Fallout 76 and enjoying alot😅
Helldivers is better
@@KingShibehell no lol
We need a fallout game with 2-4 player coop. With the simple change of all players need to be present for story dialog
This. 100%
*Bethesda reading your idea* mmm, lemme just take one of these right on it 😣 🍑 💨 💩 ahh… much better 😌
Just FYI, but when the Responders ask for molded plastic, that is the correct way to refer to it. That's the name of raw, scrapped plastic - which is what the side quest really wants even though it accepts normal plastic.
This is free on Amazon Prime right now.
free on Game Pass and PS Plus also
And discounted on steam
Wouldn't play this game if I was paid to.
Actually had no idea this was a thing despite being a Prime Member, thank you so much for the heads up!
Wait what? You can get games on Amazon Prime now? How does that work?
Me and my wife have played non-stop since launch. This game just hits a really nice chill spot. After a long week, we decompress and just interact with other players, build camps, do scoreboard challenges, and we are really satisfied just doing that on weekend nights. Never gets old for us
My wife and me did daily ops and later expedition speedruns for a while, which can be very challenging, especially double mutation. But the last update broke a lot of stuff.
The scoreboard challenges are often kinda dumb and especially she doesn't like them much, for example the ones where they want the player to repair armour and weapons or killing rare enemy types. On public servers they are always dead or restricted to timed events like honey beasts.
For relaxation, our favourite game is No Man's Sky, especially the base building is more refined and bases can be really large.
I mean if i got wife, any multiplayer game would be million times more enjoyable
This is really sweet and wholesome, I’m glad you guys have something to share with each other like that. ❤
I'ma jump on the wife bandwagon here. We played for 2 years straight, and will most likely jump back on when the new expansion hits in June. It's such a great way for us to decompress and get some of the weekly stress out. So few games can do that nowadays.
How did you get your wife into fallout? Or was she already into it?
It kind of reminds me of cyberpunk a little bit when cyberpunk has that little animated series people got back on the game after the updates and improvements
they tired but cyberpunk has the greast comeback in gaming history with their anime also no man sky too
except cyberpunk is actually good now
I mean Cyberpunk is astounding now whereas F76 is enjoyable. Didnt succeed to its level but I get what you're saying
Cyberpunk doesn't have multiplayer so no
I would like to add that the ''Swamp thing'' only heals when he has a 'balloon' nearby. (Another creature that floats and looks like a green balloon with tentacles i forgot the name of)
Pollinator, also they are VERY weak to fire
Bro. You didn’t even cover the base building aspect which is like 90% of the awesomeness of FO76 visiting the other players bases on a live map and doing trades in their shops and seeing the insanely creative stuff people make is just amazing.
True! It's one of the big draws.
he didn't cover 90% of what the game offers in total... Why? Cause he's a noob as he mentions himself...
I had no idea it had a base-building component. Now I definitely won't play it, lol.
That kind of stuff is not for me. It's the reason I skip the Minutemen questline as long as possible when I replay FO4, and one of the reasons I haven't gotten into No Man's Sky despite everyone recommending it to me.
Go play rust. It’s a shit fallout game
@@MyUsualCommentI posted the exact same thing on a Starfield video recently.
I can’t stand “build things” gameplay. I “build things” in my day job so I can pay other people to build the things I enjoy in my spare time.
“Build things” gameplay is such a cheap way to give the illusion of value/content. Just make some of the developer tools available to end users and tell them, “off you go and build something more interesting than we can be bothered to create”.
Certainly far cheaper than hiring expensive writers, actors, level designers, etc.
A before you buy for fallout 76 in 2024 is wild. Keep up the good work!
This channel keeps its finger on the pulse! I love it.
Idiotic is what it is, the game unfortunately is garbage
@@dongvermine I played it for 30 mins and I'd seen enough.
@@HighFive212you got adhd or something? Go play cod if you get bored that easily
@@Zer418 I do have ADHD and I hate cod. Helldivers 2, 235 hrs. Whoopah.
I only played a couple hours of this game on PS4 on launch, but the early game segment of the openworld and the entire classical radio playlist has been burned into my mind. So yeah I agree with what you say about the strength of the openworld. Will give the game another shot soon
Fantastic job with this one! You did a great job highlighting the good things they've done without sugarcoating too much of how the greedy monetization taints the experience as well. This is why you've become one of my favourite places to go to for game info, so many other places completely gloss over, diminish, or don't even mention the in-game monetization methods. I really value that you do, a lot.
Just started Fallout 4 this morning. Haven’t played since New Vegas. I was like 12-13
Fallout 4 is pretty dope
Fallout 2, 3 and New Vegas is the Top of the series for me. Story wise 4 is not even close to them unfortunatelly :(
What Fallout 4 lacks in story depth, it more than makes up for it with its incredible world to explore and fun moment-to-moment gameplay. And Far Harbour is legitimately a fantastic DLC. You'll still see a lot of naysayers online but don't let them stop you from enjoying it!
Just started myself it's been a blast so far Espically with mods lol.
F4 is so good
Been playing 76 on and off since launch. I've clocked in just over 750 hours according to Steam, and the only money I've spent on the game has been the initial purchase. Seen all the good, bad and ugly with this title and while it's definitely not NMS/2077 levels of comeback, it's in a much better place now that it's ever been.
The community itself is one of the best I've experienced in an online game too, which is one of always of major importance in online titles like this.
I think it’s the best live service game there is, compared to a lot. I mean I enjoy it make than alot of survival games tbh
did 2077 come back? i gotta play that again. i got like 15 hours in before i dipped when it first came out
@@skty1 it did bro 10009%
Extremely sad brother. You should play a better game such as new Vegas for a fraction of that time
@@dongvermine fallout 3 is sick, 4 is great too. Iv never actually played new vegas but 76 isn’t so bad now
I just ordered this as I love the show but have not played any of the games, and I think I'm going to return it. It didn't say up front I needed a Playstation Plus subscription to play it, and I just don't play games online enough to justify the expense. Thanks for the review.
Get fallout 4 instead. It's much better and a single player experience.
Or new Vegas!
You're definitely better off playing Fallout 4 then, it's still a phenomenal game though
Oh so sorry for you don't let this ruin it the other games are all good.
Play fallout 3, then 4, then NV for dessert, and avoid 76 like the plague, thank me later
lol just bought my first house in WV in Harper’s ferry, still living in northern VA rn near DC while waiting on closing, but that’s 2 fallout games with locations im familiar with
It’s not bad up here man. I live in Charleston WV.
Can't lie this notification confused me lol... Awesome to see Bethesda never gave up on Fallout 76 but it keeps me wondering why we have to wait years sometimes for games to be what they should have been at launch
The sad thing is you just described EVERY developer these days.
Money and lack of respect for players. The players don't help tho, a lot of people do pre orders and do microtransactions on single player games.
Because people will buy their game no matter what even if it’s a broken and unplayable mess. As they know they can fix it later and people will defend it no matter what.
And EVERYONE 4gets how shit it was and loves it leaving us wondering wtf is goin on 😂
@FortessofShred Nah, not Fromsoft, palworld devs, BG3 devs, and many others.
If you only play garbage you'll only get garbage. It's that simple. There are loads of great devs especially with indies that have released functioning and fun games from the start.
I started the game up this morning and was in a server full of new people , lvl 50 and below, it was great, gave away a bunch of stuff, did a daily ops with them and invited them to my camp
Whats currently best way to lvl up?
@@chazcarpenter1559Boost up your INT; you get more xp that way. Get on a team, hit up the daily and ops, farm westek. GL!👍🏽
All the fall out veterans are showing off their knowledge of the lore/games to the new players like yup I'm amazing who "wants to touch me.. I said who wants ta fucking touch me!!!" (Cartman voice)
@@user-fr8gn6ix3z Like who?
I liked the game but the server nature is what kills it for me. If you don't have enough time to fully clear a location in a single go you end up loading back into a swarm of enemies descending on you and everything back to start. And some locations take a while to clear it
You know what would be dope af that would get me to play this? A new mode thats an extraction game. You get dropped into a map thats just a section of the overall map, loot, then escape before one of the other 10 or so players kills you and takes your stuff. Not as hardcore as Tarkov, but closer to Vigor. I would play tf out of that
I'm traveling to The Whitespring/The Greenbrier in West Virginia this summer because of this game. It has a special place in my heart❤️
I bought the game years ago bc I live in WV. But I actually like the game now.
Want to move to WV as a Pennsylvania native. Like the freedom of WV and mountains@@austinsmith7519
@@austinsmith7519That's good to hear that you like it now. I've been playing it since the start and after a year i just really wanted to travel to West Virginia, it's a dream come true

I randomly downloaded this game on a whim a while ago and thoroughly enjoyed my play through. There’s a lot of exploring to do, the game is beautiful- I love the sunsets personally, I enjoyed the main quests and the community playing it is generally very nice and helps new players! And I’d say the community is what really had me on the game for months on end! When I was a new player I had people drop me tons of ammo, stim paks, outfits and just show me around the map, show me how stuff works and I had a lot of stuff. Main reason I stopped playing is because it’s a grind to max everything out after the story and I stopped playing for while so I fell behind. Still love the base building, you’ll come across some amazing builds in almost every lobby! It really is a fun game and I’d recommend anyone to at least give it a shot :)
I picked 76 up at launch, and quickly grew tired of the extremely limited inventory. I tried again over the past week, and although they have increased storage capacity, It's still a huge pain trying to keep your stash under the maximum weight limit. Pretty much done with it again because of this.
That's in part because they monetize storage. Any game that does this will limit storage, making your game worse, to try to push people to give them more and more money regardless of you already having purchased the game.
They don't have all your money yet, so they'll just keep pushing for taking more.
If you have Prime Gaming you can claim this for free right now!
I've always thought the map design and mood is amazing in 76, the best of the series, but the quests and storytelling feels like an afterthought, probably because they were added after launch. It's clear the idea was to give us an awesome, mostly empty world to populate, but nobody wanted that.
How do I claim it?
Thank you! It's funny, I watched all 8 episodes of season 1 on Prime but had no idea about Prime Gaming till now. If they had any promos I must've missed them all!
literally only on pc and xbox, not playstation at ALL
who wants trash for free
@@Weggsiwell, you can also get an outdated opinion for free on here.
I play since launch and have all the trophies, including dlc after 400 hours. The community is extremely friendly and many high level players wait for newcomers at Vault 76 and get you some gear to get your base started. Quests are linear and dont really have consequences other than faction alliances. Have fun, it's really nice.
The only thing I really wish could be changed is the coop mission feeling. When I’m in a team with my friend it removes so much immersion having to redo missions to get progress for both people. Still so fun to live in fallout with my friends!
It's so nice seeing all the interest in 76 again cause of the excellent show. It's still not gonna be for everyone who likes Fallout of course, but it's still better than before, and still fun for those who would enjoy it. I've been playing mostly consistently since launch in 2018, tasting a bit of the new content here and there since then. Occasionally it can be boring, but I still love the game haha. Thanks for reviewing this again Gameranx/Falcon, and I hope ya'll git it a chance again too! ~ 💯👍🏽💕🎮
Wow I just restarted this game 2 hours ago! Talk about perfect timing
I just redownloaded it on my Deck 😂
I also restarted lol. I left this game after launch and I gotta say it’s in way better shape now. I definitely don’t hate it. It’s just. Odd to play.
@@DadsCigaretteRun I love playing with my deck. I just can't keep my hands off my deck
@@maxcaines3568 getting hands on with your deck is the best way to learn its features

As someone who literally played 3 hours at launch and dropped it. I think it I've played like 100 hours in the past few weeks.
Myself probably less than 3
Looks like maybe I'll pick it up again😎
It was complete trash at launch so dont blame you in dropping it, but it has been great for quite a few years now.
People dont realize its like a single player FO game anyway.
That’s hilarious lmfao
David has the request right away telling you to go reassign I mean we’ve had like three or four lines exactly like that. I’ll read the sign that excavator one of the first quest to do first class but one of the main quest you do early on the sign that takes you on a quest to get your excavator armor, not like we haven’t done this exact start up before sign you go reassign to get shelter. There’s like 230 or four items that you go to sign but start the quest line is easy and as soon as they put it in the game, it’s in your quest at your data tab, not at all unless you play fallout 70 case you are simply clueless
I would have liked to hear about the multi-player aspects of this game since this is the main selling point vs. others in the Fallout universe.
So cool to see yall doing this. I always wanted yall to come back to older games. After being fixed. I also ignored this game at all cast just started last night it seems alright to me. Still no fall out 4 and with the new ps5 update coming next week. I'm so excited. And the show was great.
After watching the Fallout tv show, It really makes me want to go back to fallout 76
When’s the last time you played? It was pretty good back in 2021 and there’s clearly been a lot of changes since, so I’m thinking of picking it back up again after I finish FO4 for the 8th time. Lol
id recommed a good fallout title then 3 or new vegas? Fallout 4 and 76 are trash imo
That’s what I did 🎉
I got it on steam for 7.50 but i did it because of the show
@@Adam-cq8uvluckily no one asked for your opinion 😂 clown
Loved aspects of it when i played but just didnt get on with the feeling of restriction of having to have a narrow build to succeed and that most enemies were bullet sponges. Has any of that changed? Would make me get back to it if so.
Just watched the series on Amazon - loved it.
Ive played 3, 4, NV, and recently spent a lot of time in 4 in VR. Im wondering if this is wirth getting now? Hanging for some desert wasteland exploration with my spurs jingling and jangling.
You know it s starting to get real when gameranx does a before you buy on an 6 years old game
Started playing Fallout4 on pc last week and am really enjoying it! It’s running so well I decided to pick up 76. It was discounted to 7 or 8 dollars so I figured what the hell!
I got it on sale and while I played it for a few weeks (was there when expeditions to the pit dropped) I dropped it after I'd explored and done all the events once. I'm not the type to grind at all but I like exploring and when the next update drops I might give it a reinstall.
Been playing since launch and seeing where it’s at now vs then is an insanely huge difference.
There’s a new map expansion update coming soon too! Definitely the time to hop in
Planning on playing FO4 with the ps5 update on the 25th. Hopefully it's a significant update

The way you and Jake switch it up makes it feel fresh. I respect it.
You missed out on the other quests that you can do together with other players and there is a lot more hidden quests and you can spawn world bosses dropping nukes etc including daily ops
I played at launch following around the overseer's voice notes for longer then I'd like to admit. Then I came back when they brought the NPCs back and within a hour I went to the overseer's house that's basically in the beginning town and uninstalled it mid conversation
It was a mess at launch, but they are indeed still working on it. In the current public test server they are testing area expansion and weapon balance. A few years ago i would not recommend it, but now days i do.
I agree man, I tried it on the ps4 days and it was hell. I liked it but I didn’t. Hate love relationship 😂. I’m glad they stuck at it though! Shows their dedication to the fan base!
Its been fixed for a good 4 years my guy. They're not "working on it" they just actively update it cus it's an MMO. There's like 10,000 hours of stuff to do by now.
It has improved but i still dont think its as good as litteraly any other fallout game apart from bos
@@zyourzgrandzmaz definitely worth it now
@@zyourzgrandzmaz 10,000 hours? Naw this is Bethesda we are talking about
I love building a base. It's a little wonky but exploring other people's camps is fun.
When i started playing it years ago, i built a shack with a fireplace in the middle and a simple bed in the corner. It was just a box. That was it. A random dude walked in because it didnt even have a door. He pointed at my shack then proceeded to laugh. Instead of getting offended i laughed as well seeing how bare bones my base was.

@6:50 there is a floating spore thats healing him, it isn't randomly healing
I started lastnite. Such a diff game from when I gave up on it at launch
Tbh the only true difference are the NPCs, other than that the game didn't change significantly. The devs could have added and reworked so much during that time, the end-game systems need a complete rework. Mutations, Legendaries, Perk Cards. It's all basically the same poorly thought through stuff since release.
It is man! When I first started it was fun but just kinda empty. Was always on and off it. I wouldn’t say it’s my top favourite fallout game since nothing will top the fallout single player experiences, however, I think fallout 76 with friends as an live service game is a lot better than a lot of other live service games out there, I actually enjoy it more than some proper survival games, I mean, fallout with friends? Nothing more to be said 😂😊
I think the biggest problem is they probably wanted the success of elder scrolls online but for fallout but it just never worked for many reasons
The game clocked in at 17million players at the end of 2023.. so ...?
@@Tuningforks85your really suggesting that “majority of the players” wanted micro-transactions, always online, no mods and no NPCs?
This was one of the largest flops at release; it’s a little better now and your 17million; I can guarantee didn’t drop the full retail price at release.
I was going to pre order it back in the day but then I ended up playing a free weekend and it had some graphical issues a couple of years ago. I then saw that it was on PS Plus Extra, so I downloaded it and found out that they fixed some issues and increased the frame rate which made the game playable.
I might end up purchasing it either on disc or on sale depending on which is cheapest. I've not played 76 in a couple of months and pretty much gave up once I'd unlocked expeditions and found out that they're extremely difficult solo and I have no friends.
Bobby pins in donation boxes is the best way to welcome new players =)
Not many live service games fail at the start and still manages to keep an active playerbase like 76 has. Though I do wonder what 76 would of been like if it went a similar route as ESO. At least on steam, 76 has more players than eso.. which i found interesting.
1) Steam is the least used for ESO. 2) The surge is the only thing that put it above ESO. Fo76 definitely does not have more players than ESO.
Probably because ESO was added to Steam only recently.
most use the laucher to play eso not steam
ESO way more popular if you include xbox and ps4 ps5 etc i think , but both are doing great imo
Other than Fortnite they all have failed at the start and have gotten better later on. And iirc ESO started rough too.
Did Fallout 76 finally get "16x the detail?"
Nope!
Yeah, no kidding. I finished RDR2 about a month ago, and seeing the characters in FO76 just look, bad.
I love seeing all of the new players in Fallout 76. Great idea to do another before you buy for it now.
I bought it a month ago and at level 52 rn (50 hours in) and I having a blast. I barely did the quest, just exploring and farming some weapons mostly. If i decided to stop playing anytime i already got my money worth ($9 i paid for)
I had stopped playing this after like lvl 7 way back when it released then at some point ps5 runs it at 60 fps so I dove back in two weeks ago and man there’s a ton of great content love it now
I started 3 days ago and really enjoy it. Just exploring by myself and figuring things out still. Was hyped back in the day but glad a held off till now. Is it the best fallout hell no but it does do a lot very well and is entertaining. Solid 7 maybe 8 if you like the fallout franchise
I might give it a retry later, but Rimworld Anomaly update came out recently, still working on that :P
I do have a few questions tho,
Does loot still respawn after like 5 minutes?
Was PvP updated or is it still "requesting to fight"?
Can you play every aspect of the game solo even if you aren't a min maxing 3k hour player?
1.) I think it's 20 minutes now? (Maybe?)
2.) You can toggle PVP on or request.
3.) A lot of events aren't possible solo.
I'm a returning player, just my 2 cents.
I’ve been playing it recently with friends, and honestly, my experience has been pretty shit.
I started the game but restarted a short bit after making my character (To rectify the god-awful innate frame rate cap) and upon reloading was placed outside the vault. I spent about an hour walking around trying to figure out wtf to do, before my friends asked if I’d gotten a choice to choose level 20 or not.
The game basically barred me from the most important choice as a new player, as well as barring me from being able to make a CAMP, understand the food/drink system and multiple other inherent gameplay aspects.
I am actually enjoying this game, but I am baffled by how shit it is sometimes. Most quests are just “go there, talk, come back, listen to me yap for 5 minutes”. A good bit of the time, glitches are absolutely EVERYWHERE. I’ve got about 50 clips at this point of some bogus, hilarious glitches, as well as a plethora of visual glitches and not-so-hilarious gameplay glitches, like being completely stuck in place for a few minutes, or being unable to move after stopping moving for a second.
But whatever. I guess since I’m playing it anyways, it’s doing its job as a game. It’s entertaining seeing the mess that is the code.
Editing here because I was reminded of the base building. It sucks. It is just bad, clunky, unresponsive, and extremely janky. I spend about 30 minutes making a base and by the end of it felt like I had a degree in architecture. It’s abhorrent how bad the system is, especially since it’s a big selling point (or was, as far as I can remember)
Thanks for this. Trying to work out where to jump back in. New Vegas, 4 or 76. All I have played a little of but never invested the time in a full run.
Im in the same boat. Its hard for me to get into really old games, but I keep hearing the latest arent the best in the series. Think they're all included on psplus tho.
@rosecity_chris Just for completion, I have started New Vegas because I fall on the RPG lover side of the coin. I will probably then roll into Fallout 4 when the patch drops later and do 76 after.
Ive done fallout 3 back in the day, and fallout 4; greats games. But im going to play vegas before evem thinking about 76. Its possible that bethesda waits till the 2030’s for their next fallout game, so theres alot of time for me to get into 76 i think
Running new Vegas right now and it’s reminding why it’s my favourite game in the series
@jacoblavoie940 I played a couple of hours last night. The writing is noticeably better than 4. Hopefully it gets its hooks into me.
To be honest I always enjoyed my time with it and had a blast but honestly it just wasnt a single player game, if you get a bunch of friends together on your own server its basically a good backdrop to crack open a few beers and just hang out with your buddies for a few hours, expecially if they live all round the country and you dont get to see them very often, We had a lot of fun, but honestly, without the beer and the buddies, I cant say I would have really enjoyed it that much.
Agreed bro
I tried Fallout 76 on a free weekend and it wasn’t bad, played it first time properly today its honestly good, the community players are much better than other games
Been playing for 3 years , restarted a new game play on my ps5 its been Kool seeing new players
It’s came such a long way, shows they are dedicated!
My budddy and i on this past Christmas break started it and have been coming back to it every few days. It’s been fun. We’ve found fun in it. Yes it has its problems, but it’s what you make of it
I always wondered why they never released a single player version for Appalachia even if it was after the release. They had all this time to have made everything around the world for a complete storyline and a SP experience. Appalachia is such a good map with wasted potential
If they did that then nobody would play online. Then they couldn’t sell rare power armour for $13.00 in their store.
What they said ^ plus, they’ve long counted on us lone wanderer types to just pony up for the Fallout 1st where we can get the quality of life stuff that should be available to everyone, and offer our friends (if we have any who also play yet) our server to play in cooperatively (which was the only multiplayer anyone really ever asked for anyway). It’s all about money.
That said, I still hope that when it does finally truly belly up (and who knows when that’ll be now), it might get a offline counterpart for players to continue on or play anew solo. Pipe dreams, and “pipe is life”.
@@PossessedNoodle I hate how when I log onto a public world 3/4ths of the fusion cores are already looted!
@@AmariKhumalo you’re meant to be running silo, launching nukes, and farming flux and components to make them as well as taking over the three workshops which produce cores (@40 or so mins a core) - although, players should still e wary when doing that, workshops are the only legitimate space left for the few remaining PVP seekers and handful of trolls just being pests because there’s literally only three activities they can engage in to sour the game significantly for others, and by others, I mean - normally newer characters who aren’t accustomed with their shenanigans or too geared up to care… lol I digress… you can purchase them from vendors, traveling vendors like to stop at player camps, it’s good to check on yours every so often, and depending where you place it and which npc camp companion you have, you can be visited by others like Grahm or Athena/Artemis (complete Daguerres companion quest line), or happen upon other random encounters and events.
Likewise, you can farm sentry bots for cores or level and perk into crafting, if you obtain the schematic for making Gatling laser you just put on super duper to double craft items at random (luck based perk), and voila…. You get double fusion cores upon scrapping each Gatling laser.this is a player favourite workaround for ages now. You should definitely try these methods instead hopping around to locations. Good luck and happy wandering, my fellow 76er! @AmariKhumalo

Haven't played since getting all the achievements in the base game, back in Feb 2019. Now that I've jumped ship from Neverwinter, seriously looking to revisit FO76.
It's a bit a mission to set up, but there's a mod called Tale of Two Wastelands which is pretty cool. You can play FO3 & NV in one game.
This game is far from perfect, but this video is not doing it justice as a multiplayer Fallout game. Most of the aspects criticized in this video aren’t that big of a deal in my opinion. I came back to this game after 4 years, and these are the key features that I am enjoying:
• It has a lot of in-game public events that keep you entertained at all levels, giving you the chance to obtain some of the best legendaries in the game.
• Housing is one of the key features of this game, with many ways to add your personal touch to your camp. You can set up your own store and sell stuff to other players.
• It’s a very active game with many random players to play with.
• The community is very friendly, especially with newcomers.
• There are plenty of quests and areas to explore, for real.
• A crafting system that allows you to craft the standard Fallout items, as well as props you can place in your camp.
• A great and cool perk system that allows you to build whatever character you want.
• Endgame is fun, and there are harder variations of events that increase the challenge and improve rewards.
• The cash shop is purely for cosmetics and items for your camp (some of these items facilitate grinding, but nothing too extreme).
• Daily dungeon-like missions that change every time.
Cons:
• Performance is not that great. You can edit the .ini file to remove Vsync, which will unlock the FPS, but since it’s a bug, I am listing it as a con.
• The world isn’t as sandbox-like as a single-player Fallout experience, for obvious reasons, as this is a multiplayer game.
• Some features like Private Worlds are locked behind the Fallout 1st subscription.
The game is good, and I recommend playing it after playing any of single-player games.
Completely agree! Kinda hard to know the game intimately and give an honest review when you openly admit that you dropped the game immediately after launch. Love these guys but they missed the mark on this one!
Do they do the same shit as eso with the sub when it comes to storage and shit?
The community is not nice. You don’t know what you’re talking about and you like to yap a lot. The game is trash still to this day. Nothing else will change that and making your own shops that’s kind of weird somebody can easily just grief and steal all your stuff there are way more better single player games and also way better multiplayer games that are way more better at least from what I seen
You don’t know what you’re talking about. I suggest you wrap it up. And stop yapping 😂😂
@@WR2385 it doesn’t matter the game is trash wrap it up, buddy😂😂 you must be the mayor of Yap city EDIT: there are better fallout CZcamsrs that get more views than the people you are subscribed to that talk about fallout 76 and they say the game is trash😂😂
You are subscribed to people that talk about the game and praise the game. You have no valid argument, and therefore you have a invalid opinion, wrap it up, buddy😂😂 EDIT: Also the people that you are subscribed to that praise and say stuff about the game don’t get that many views because people know that fallout 76 is bad 😂😂 also make sure to wipe before you’re done😂
Only reason Ive been hesitant on playing it on psn is because of how expensive psn has become
12 usd a month. 12/30=0,4 cents per day. is that expensive for u?
Its on sale till the 25th
@@Genverait’s the cost of netflix / Hulu for the “privilege” of using the internet, which you also already pay your ISP to use. This is why PC gamers chuckle all the way to the bank.
@@Genvera Pokimane is that you?? Are you here to call us all “broke boys”?
It’s so stupid I remember when playing online used to be free on PlayStation.
So im level 800 and played since launch on pc. The community is amazing and if you turn on your mic youll find friends in about 5 minutes of playing. And most high level players like me if they encounter you will just build you a tull house and suit of armor and weapons just for something to do.
Also I hear it's stable on console now so
@@zyourzgrandzmazI haven’t had many issues for years on Xbox. Still occasionally get a crash to home on Series X, but I don’t really have any complaints about stability and I can’t say I really have since Wastelanders/One Wasteland updates dropped. Legacies being removed last year also helped with the stability.
"It almost feels like a Fallout game."
Nuff said. Thanks.
The big difference that ultimately made me stay playing for thousands of hours and what he failed to mention is the camp building! It can keep me busy for hours and hours on end, Also a lot of people lose that spark when they finish the story but with 76 they run events all day long every 20 minutes and it’s a team event where many players can join. They run seasonal events where the event is a theme with its own rewards and plans to build in your camp. Right now we have mutated events where you get a package with rare items, guns etc, every hour on the hour it’s starts. This is fallout but a completely different fallout and if you come in thinking it’ll be a story driven game you’ll be let down but if you look at it like a multiplayer game you will enjoy it.
You gotta realize it’s a online co op fallout game, garbage story but fun playing on a team with people

Bro. Fallout was always an RPG at heart. The beauty of exploring a world full of amazing characters and factions with their own interests, and how you intermingle with all that jazz, while kicking ass. This? Is not it. It's just an MMO. The most disgusting thing a company can do, is take all the heart & tears of the people who dared to imagine such a beautiful world, and try to turn it into a pile of shitty cash. And failing. The show is good though. Thank God Bethesda's hands stayed out of it.
Todd Howard was an executive director of the show.
Thank you so much, Gameranx! I too had watched the TV series and was starting to follow the trend of getting back into the games, including 76. But your one line of "there are so many microtransactions in this game" saved me!
Played it back in 2021 during a free weekend, ended up getting it and playing it for a many few hours more after the weekend. Ever since I saw the show I want to give it another chance, especially to see how it has progressed over the years and before servers shut but last time I did 20 hours and barely scratched the surface even though I had done so so many things. The only thing preventing me from already having started it is I want to start a new character but not lose progress of what I had done last time to save time too. Deep down I do want to start a new character, it's been nearly 3 years. It's good to see so many players come back, that will delay server shutdown while I finish some other long longstanding games I have going on.
Are you gonna do a before you buy for fallout 4 when the next gen update drops?
I hope they do
Hopefully FO4 adds some of the QoL from FO76. playing 76 and going back to 4 is awful (the crafting specifically is miles better in 76)
@@hoofhearted4 Dont expect ANY changes, they wont even add bug fixes. Just gonna be FPS and resolution increases.
If there are any changes all their might be is the HD texture pack on console...if that!
@@hoofhearted4They’ll never have the same depth with those systems in a singleplayer game
Beware! This is an online only title. If you live far from their servers, you'll have an atrocious amount of lag. People from South America, Africa or Asia should definitely avoid it.
That sounds a litte far fetched, i play games (lile FFXI) that have servers in Japan and have no lag issues. (i live in NA) wich is roughly rhe same distance. (8200KM+)
No lag here in India, it runs fine even on a potato pc.
Just get a game booster my guy
I live in South Africa and I get disconnected every hour or two and have a bit of lag once in a while that causes rubber-banding but it's tolerable and my internet is mediocre at best. Basically I get off work and play for two hours and I have a 50/50 chance of getting DC'd once and experience rubber-banding once or twice over a total of 2-3 minutes.
It's really not that bad, and again... my internet is maybe a 3.5/10 in regards to speed.
Thanks for the advice 😊
I think you hit the nail on the head. To me basically it's just scratching that Fallout itch i have. It's not great but its the only Fallout content i haven't really played out yet.
Just picked this back up after dropping it after an hour of gameplay at launch. It’s been a blast playing this with one of my buddies! Completely a new game compared to what I experienced at first.
Important to mention for the store
But atoms (the premium currency) is grindable from challenges and season pass (which is also free)
I have about 50k worth of store items solely from playing the game
It did take years, but it’s really important to mention I think, cause a lot of people will look at it in a different way
And weapons that were part of previous seasons that are unique and powerful, are grindable in game aswell, some vendors sell them for Gold Bullion (another currency for rare items, these you get from completing events)
you get like 2k atoms a month if you max out the free battle pass.
Damn that’s good to know
Yeah the Atoms are pretty easy to get. Some of the bundles are crazy expensive though lol
Is it 50k in items cos they're just overpriced tho? 💀
50k worth of items in Diablo 4 gets you like 8 skins and a horse. From what I remember prices in this game are atrocious too, even if technically grindable
@chicolopes1928 there is almost nothing worth cashing out for instead of just getting it eventually, unless it's some limited time costume or something.
@7:00 the overgrown have an enemy type called the pollinator that will give the enemy health regen. you have to take them out first. just wanted to point out that its not a bug.
He didn't say it's a bug, he said it's annoying, which it is.
@@cenciende9401 yeah but he didn't specify how to deal with it or that its supposed to be like that so it might lead them to thinking its a bug so i just clarifying. Also its less annoying if you go for the pollinators first like you are supposed to or if you do enough dmg it won't matter.
This is a very fair review for a game that has 75% userscore on Steam.
The game has value to offer, it can be a lot of fun to play and explore the world and quest around, but it has issues, some of which will never be able to be fixed due to the game's multiplayer nature, and also the outdated engine.
Either way, due to the TV show popularity this game was showered with new players and I hope many of them stick around, they got into the game just in time, because in June one of the biggest update for 76 so far is releasing, so they can catch up with all the base game and previous expansion stuff until then.
Lovely.
I might finally give it a chance here in a few days. Though if they ever make another FO, I hope they make a story where you are just a character with a vague background equivalent to NV. And make room for a good Co-op, and maybe add an invasion style mechanic. Though if they ever try another MMO angle, I think they should hand it to a different studio to pull off. Would be nice to see a new style in that universe.
For micro transactions part; its currency is atom and you can earn it basically just playing game regularly like doing general game challenges and season progression after doing daily and weekly challenges. I think 76 is more generous than many others about that. I know it s not for everyone to do similar stuff for challenges but I am lvl 540 and I ve never bored of it :)
I understand that it's "generous" for a live-service game, but I just want to play a Fallout RPG, so I'll just go back to NV or 3/4 while I wait for 5.

Bruhh, its really fun! But me and my friends can only play for around 60 min before the game crashes (PS5) the worst thing is that we all might have to find a new server if one of us crashes to. No clue why but for some reason it won’t let us join any game before all of us in the squad leaves that server…
Ive recently started 76 back up in the last week, and i have to say im having the best time with freinds, the community is amazing everyone ive come across helps i was level 47 on monday im now 121, and i absolutely love it they have made the game a realy good game with friends. I dont know about me playing it by myself i do a few quests get bored and do something else, but theres new events and stuff. Its fun in general
It didnt even occur to me that F76 was an alternative. I got tired of 1,2,3,4 and NV, and thought that well guess I come back when nostalgia drags me. After the TV show I had to try 76 and well… I am hooked
I pre-ordered this game and in all honesty… loved it from day 1! So glad my homies are finally coming to join me in Appalachia 🎉
I got it on day 1, and it was fun while it lasted but the issue was the content was quite barren. So it was like on off for a long time. Glad they stuck at it tho! Nothing will beat the fallout single player experiences, but I have to admit, 76 is rising up the list for me, only because it’s so fun to play with friends, and the content is a lot better now. I wouldn’t say it’s the top fallout game overall, but definitely worth it 😁
To bad the best game mode was removed, Nuclear Winter at vault 51.... It was pretty much like the hunger games, last man standing or team would become the overseer of vault 51, the only players vs players mode, was perfect! loved it so freaking much. Hopefully it comes back😂
It died because BR was everywhere. People actually liked nuclear winter
I played Fallout 4 a few days ago and remembered 76. From memory, it looked really fun, and it was $2 at my local game store, i think I'll pick it up later
im seeing a lot of new player lately which in excited for sure with the new player im not seeing as many of the long time players so im failing the events but so far its nice seeing more playing this game this they were a few months ago
