Fallout 76: Wastelanders - PlayStation 4

Good graphics improvements when compared to FO4, huge open world map. If you like fast paced 1st persons this is not for you, this is a slow paced survival game. Still needs bug fixes and it does crash once in a while. I’m sure Bethesda will address those little issues soon... Change of mind, the more I play this game the more I realize how poorly executed it was. After two updates fixing minor bugs, the huge problems remain, it doesn’t crash as much as before but instead you are logged out of the server even more, so there’s no real improvement, specially after spending half of your resources trying to claim a junkyard in order to get scraps in return. Objects keep dancing around, enemies float in the air, trying to snipe a giant scorpion at a safe distance? No point, it’ll suddenly appear right in front of you right before pulling the trigger, building is annoyingly limited, carrying and holding capacity is still annoyingly limited even after the 200 lbs increment, no more fun interactions with game characters and no companions. After a few patches the game is finally starting to improve. There are still some issues with the servers but the majority of the problems have been resolved, a little too late? Maybe not if you haven’t played the game yet. Overall it’s still a good game, definitely not as good as FO4 but still a good game. It seems like Bethesda was finally able to fix the game with the latest upgrade. I wish that this latest patch had been the release version, but once again, a little too late? Maybe not for the real fans or for those who had not played it yet. It just finally feels like fallout, the game doesn’t seem to have any bugs, there are no game crashes, no unexpected visual flaws that I was able to detect, no lag. If you were thinking about getting this game but decided not to after all the bad reviews, you made the right call, but now the right call is to get it and finally experience fallout the way it was meant to be all along.

So people are review bombing this game. Largely because they're unhappy it isn't just a single player game. Sometimes because they're not happy with it. Key complaints with responses. 1) Buggy. Yes. It has bugs. They can be annoying. They'll hopefully get fixed quickly. 2) Nothing to do. Simply put, I don't know what they're talking about. The map is huge, the quest list is long. Yes dialogue is voiced from tapes instead of NPCs, not the end of the world. But it doesn't mean there is nothing to do. 3) Lack of ammo. Blatantly untrue. If you can't find ammo, it's because you're not looking or killing anything. I am literally forgoing picking up ammo at this point I have so much. Maybe with fully automatic weapons you might have an issue. But with using a hunting rifle, I'm getting .308 ammo faster than I'm using it. And melee weapons are some of the most powerful in the early game anyway. It's a bit ridiculous. 4) Microtransactions. Yeah they exist but they do not affect the game play at all. AT ALL. They're skins on items, emotes, and clothing. I'm actually sitting on almost 800 Atoms right now wishing they'd add more stuff because I want something else to buy. Not entirely impressed with what they have now. My friends and I are having a blast in the game. And we feel like there is so much potential for post launch.

I mean I could droll on and on about the graphics (which are good) or the sound (which is also good) or the many other things that make a game or I could simply answer the one question that basically all Fallout fans are wanting answered with these reviews. Does it play like Fallout? The answer is yes, yes it does. It has everything you've come to expect with the Fallout franchise. I mean every Fallout game starting with Fallout 3 basically plays the same with tweaks here and there to some of the systems. But for the most part when you go in to play, you expect to know how it "feels". And the same can be said of Fallout 76, the instant you log in and create your character it is already familiar. Now there are a few tweaks to the game just like every Fallout game, such as the way VATS works. No longer does the game freeze or slow down (it can't because everything is always online) but basically as it's active it will drain your AP meter with a constant drain and you fire and of course the higher the percentage change to hit will depend on if you hit or not. They brought back the settlement building introduced in Fallout 4 so you can set up a camp in this game for a nice convenient way to stash your collected goods, also a hub to fast travel to which is always welcome. Another new and honestly very cool change is the leveling system in this game. When you level up you get to pick one of your SPECIAL stats to level and then you are given a selection of cards to choose from that each have different upgrades attached to them based on which trait you went with. You then attach that card to your character and it increases your ability in that fashion. What's even neater, is that there are packs of these cards that you get from quests and other events that when opened give you a random assortment of trait upgrades that you can attach to replace other cards. Super customizeable. Also if you end up collecting the same card you can combine them to increase the strength of that card which is also very cool. So on to the things I don't much care for. Firstly it is super quiet out there. It's pretty busy right out of the vault as people are all still lingering around the starting area but as you start leveling up and moving away it gets quieter and quieter. Last night I played for a few hours and only ever saw 1 other person although I did hear gunshots in the distance so I know more people are out there. That is both pretty cool and lonely at the same time. I enjoy playing solo so i'm not bothered by the lack of people and honestly I when I see someone else I get super paranoid anyway and move in the other direction. That said, it is almost TOO quiet out there. A few more NPC's to interact with would be nice. Something to liven up this dreary wasteland. OH and this really isn't a wasteland at all, I mean from what i've seen thus far everything is still alive and lush. Of course I haven't even seen the entire map yet and there is one particular place south east of the map that looks very wastelandish. I didn't have any server problems last night when I played but it wouldn't have surprised me if there were some considering it was day 1 of the release and everyone was trying to play. I'm sure any servers problems will taper off as the load on the servers drops going forward. So all in all i'm enjoying this game a ton. If you like any of the previous Fallout games then you will for sure like this one.

I waited until Cyber Monday to pick this up for $35, so I am not upset about the price I paid. While I think it's unfortunate that it's online only, and you're required to have PS plus, it's not strange to see new games do that these days, seems to be the norm. I have alwayshad PS plus since I frequent online games, so it wasn't an issue for myself, however, I do see why this would be a frustration for others. There are positives and negatives to this game, I feel as though they removed mechanics that were great in the previous Fallouts, while adding some new ones that make it more enjoyable. Overall, it was a learning curve, but still easy to adapt to. I don't particularly enjoy that it's always multiplayer, (much like ESO), but they did make it so it was still fun if you played solo w/o fear of missing out on enemies or loot - however, the MMO aspect where enemies re-spawn and the reality that most changes you make aren't permanent, is somewhat of a turnoff. I have played MMO's all my life so this wasn't something of a total shock. I have only met a few players in passing and they seem to be civil and kind - I imagine it would be more fun to play with a friend, but alas, time schedules are a bitch. Solo play is tough - but rewarding and mostly fun. The part about fallout I enjoyed most was just roaming and looting - easier now since there are no NPC’s. Overall, it's not a bad game, especially for $35 (I bought it on sale) I recommend getting it on sale and giving it your own opinion, the download is long, but I did it while I was sleeping or went to work. I have been a fan of the series since Fallout 1, regardless of what happens or what they put out, I'll still enjoy it. 4/5 stars

I've been holding out on reviewing this game since I didn't want to just jump on the hate bandwagon ride that it's been enjoying lately. I've made it to level 42 now and have joined in on some of the nuke-zone endgame content, so I feel like I have an adequate amount of experience to give a fairly accurate review. The good: > Multiplayer - Having the ability to jump on with a friend or two is nice. Randomly running around finding events was the highlight of my play time. Honestly though, I would have just preferred a mainly single player fallout game that had a co-op option. > The world size is good... The neutral: > graphics - not good, but not as terrible as many people are saying. I experienced nothing mind-blowing at all during my play time, but there was nothing that made me feel like the game was trash simply for this reason. This is kind of irritating, since fallout 4 with fan-made mods that could have been implemented here looks significantly better than this game. > The locations - There are several regions in the game that offer a small degree of diversity, but overall, everything begins to feel the same. There are many, many assets that are just copy/pasted from location to location, which leads you to blur all of the smaller towns especially together. If you're playing now, just look at the single "church building" model that shows up in literally every town near vault 76. > The survival aspect - pointless. Adding a thirst and hunger factor just feels meaningless. All it does is tie up a little bit more of your limited inventory space to hold food and water items. I never found it difficult to locate food or water, it was always just a chore to have to keep them in stock. I almost added this to the "bad" section, but it's just so meaningless that I thought it might fit better here. The bad: > Single-player - I honestly do not understand why Bethesda marketed this as a potential single-player game. It is a barren and nearly lifeless sandbox that I found to be completely un-enjoyable without a friend playing alongside me. It is a much, much worse version of fallout 4 in this regard. Virtually no story, no NPCs to interact with.. etc. > The enemies - repetitive and unintelligent. Whoever made the decision that even the "scorched", which comprise the majority of enemies you will face, wouldn't have any dialog should be fired immediately. There is nothing interesting about them, they are just fodder to waste bullets on. You will also quickly find (unless they patch this) that most enemies will fall into one of two categories, either they will die in 1-3 shots from most single-shot weapons, or they will die in 40-60 shots. There is very, very little variation in this. Enemies also just tend to rush at you, regardless of whether or not they are using a melee weapon or a firearm of some kind. Why is this single-shot sniper-wielding scorched rushing me instead of keeping his distance? Who knows. I could go on for a long time about this, but I'll stop now. > The bugs - Among many, many "small" bugs (which I expected from a Bethesda game, sadly), I have not had a single play session that wasn't interrupted by either a complete game crash, or a mass server disconnect. There is also an awful glitch where your attacks will just do zero damage to certain enemies, which is very irritating if you are using slower firing weapons. Sometimes, enemies that you have almost killed will heal to full health, or just disappear altogether. There are many instances of massive frame rate drops, or just 2-5 second freezes. I've never been able to turn my light on when in power armor, so I've just decided that I wouldn't use it at all. There are too many more to list here, so I'll stop myself. Just know that this is not a stable game currently. >The PVP and random player interaction - Truly abysmal. PVP is meaningless and just not fun or fluid at all. There is nothing to be gained by killing another player except to steal their junk items, which are basically worthless unless that players happens to be carrying a mass amount of them at the time. Having no 'push-to-talk' option at launch was just an unbelievably bad oversight. Players will just randomly scream or you'll just hear background noise from their living room when they're near you if you don't disable it completely. I also dislike that you can always see every players location on the world map. This takes out any sort of randomness that should come with encountering a real player. >The "Story" - By far the worst story (or lack thereof) in any fallout game that I am aware of. What exists here is delivered in the form of text displayed on random computer screens, or holotape recordings found throughout the world. The problem with this is that the text on computer screens is extremely uninteresting, and holotapes are incredibly long. Also, you will not be able to hear the holotape recordings if any action is happening, or if you are in a group and someone is talking. It's like trying to listen to 4 uninteresting podcasts at the same time. >The UI - Not good. Within 3 days of release, there were already fan-made mods on PC that fixed a lot of the issues with the UI. Unfortunately, those don't trickle down to console so quickly. The pip-boy menu worked fine in previous games mainly because it also paused the game while you slowly navigated through to find what random item had caused you to become encumbered. This DOES NOT WORK in a game that cannot be paused. It is awful. You can make the menu transparent so that you can at least see while using it, but there is a glitch currently that does not allow you to listen to holotapes while using transparent mode. >Item durability - I just wanted to add this one since it was a constant irritation while I was playing. Weapons and armor constantly break. This means that you will need to carry quite a few weapons at all times, which ties up most of your very limited inventory space. You will also need to be collecting junk at all times, particularly adhesive and aluminum, which will fill up even more space. This is a terrible gameplay loop. I should not be forced to repair my weapons every 5-10 minutes. Conclusion: I was going to give this game two stars originally, but the more I played it the worse it seemed to get. It is very clearly not in a passable or complete state currently, and especially not when it was released. I imagine that a year from now, If Bethesda commits to steady patching, this game will probably be pretty enjoyable, but it is just not there currently. It is glaringly obvious from the outset, especially when compared with fallout 4 (which came out in 2015), that this game was not given the time or effort that was necessary to make an acceptable game and still charge 60+ dollars. This makes me worry about the future of Bethesda games, which I have always looked forward to in the past.

I haven't played this game in a while so I want to see what it's like I haven't played it since Ohio got release so I recommend this game with 100% feedback well for me

Good & worked!

I am loving the game. I was never into the series before but I did get into the 4th game, so this one reminds me of OF4 but just a new area to explore. There are some different things to get used to plus when you find an outfit you can wear it and still have all your armor and vault suit on you will just see you new outfit, I wish the 4th game did that, so that was a fun new feature. I also waited a while to get this because of the horrible problems. There are still some issues, like randomly getting booted from the server which is annoying but they are always working on the game for a better experience. Plus you don't have to worry about fighting other players once you hit level 5 go to game settings and make sure you keep pacifist mode on so if another player does end up killing you when you didn't engage they get a bounty. The only thing you really lose is any junk you carry so you won't be stripped of your ammo, weapons, armor, etc. so no big deal. The community is very friendly and nice. I am on the reddit forum for fo76 specifically which is very active and the people are so very friendly and nice and give great advice and if they are on the same platform even offer to help you out. Online gaming isn't really my thing but you don't have to play with anyone else, this actually does make me want to have some company. Either way it is for any style you choose and it is very fun. Bethesda will always work on their problems and listen to anything you report. Honestly I've had so much fun playing this week I'm very hooked on it which is a perfect distraction from my disastrous life.

Très bon jeu. Une aventure extraordinaire! Tout comme les premiers de cette série. Je le recommande sans hésiter!

Great Game !!! 10/10

Produto bem embalado, tudo ok.
