Get it cheap 100% worth it, I’m having fun with it
I agree 100%. People do not need a Fallout 1st subscription or the Atomic Shop to have fun.
I been playing since launch..never needed or considered 1st. That shit is an abomination, and anyone who supports it, doesn't know how to play.
Game runs like hot garbage tho...easily the worst experience of any game I've ever had...couldn''t tell you why I still occasionally play.
@@JwhateverJ for the challenge of getting through an hour of gameplay without an issue 😆
@@JwhateverJ you do realize that without the microtransactions, the game would no longer be viable for the company to maintained and would cease to exist.
@robertrobinson2649 disagree with that, Starfield will prove otherwise. Fallout 76's main problem was it's bugs early on. but when they first announced they were doing a mmo style Fallout, i admit i was curious about it. but mmo's aren't what Bethesda is usually known for, still i give them credit for trying something different. Starfield is like that to, except for the mmo part. but let's not forget that Elder Scrolls is there main bread and butter franchise, so there not going anywhere.
now yeah you can say if microtransactions weren't in Fallout 76, then i can agree with that. but that's only one that has it.
Coming back after a long time I say. It's gotten alot better. And I love it
I hope fallout 5 is a bit darker and immersive on the survival side of things, kinda like stalker anomaly
Community absolutely slaps. Something special happened when the game flopped on release. It created an environment only die hard fans were willing to stomach, later leading to a landscape of welcoming, excited, happy to help peers, who will do anything to encourage new comers to stay and give the game a shot. When the exploring questing and looting of a text book bethesda universe gets boring, you can trigger or attend public boss fight events that happen on the hour or when a nuke is launched. (Yes you can launch nukes) if none of that suits you or it grows old you can turn your focus to CAMP building which with its broken mechanics is almost a mini game in its own. At your camp you can host an active vendor where you can sell almost any resource, weapon or armor you find or craft, making collecting rare items even more engaging and encouraging player traffic to your hard worked camp build. Just all around lots of content and a good fun game. Highly recommend.
But remember to turn on your camp beacon, so we can all find your vendor!
Its fun once you get into it. Especially when fighting the bosses and feeling like a one man army at points
I’m an OG Destiny 1 veteran who quit D2 due to the game’s shift to daily logins and constant playing to stay relevant. I started playing Fallout 76 after the expansion with Crater and Foundation and have been semi-consistent since then. I’ve played all the 3D fallout games a few times, and I can say this game’s world map is the best we’ve got so far. The game’s story has consistently improved, my personal favorite expansions being the ones relating to the Appalachia chapter of the Brotherhood. I can’t recommend this game enough to people who love fallout and looter-shooters who can’t afford to play every day. Fantastic causal experience, with the difficult ones being entirely optional for end game builds. Game is great.
I started playing 76 about six weeks ago. I'm having a good time.
Been playing it for 5 years. The devs have been putting in the work. It’s a blast to play.
I mostly play single-player. It's just fun
In 2018 nah. In 2023 sure, its much better now and there's lot of content.
If you get it on steam with discount yeah 100% would recommend. Plus the community is the best
@@ActiveGreen227 It does have a good community for the most part. The majority of players are friendly and helpful. Most of my friends on PlayStation I met on the game.
Nice video. I just recently picked up the game and I'm loving it. I just wanna disagree a little bit. In my opinion, the controls on console were great, including building. 😄
That's actually correct. Building with a controller is vastly superior to building with a mouse and keyboard
I see a few bits of misinformation in the comments, but the answer to the question, in short…is maybe.
(The rest of the information…not so short)
If you’re a hardcore gamer, you want to grind constantly for better gear in order to do end game content for better rewards (think of trials for Destiny or WoW), then the game absolutely ISN’T for you.
The easy stage of the grind is difficult to play (until you get mutations and are able to get the perk that avoids losing them…marsupial is an absolute game changer). Although Wastelanders and Brotherhood of Steel introduced enjoyable DLC stories, the original ‘story’ is still in the game, and it’s an absolute chore to get through.
If you want a story driven game in the true sense of the term then, again, this game probably isn’t for you. There are some enjoyable quest lines sure, but nothing that keeps you on the edge of your seat.
The game is, however, a casual players paradise. If you want to just jump in and kill things, do events, build a camp and have a laid back time, the game is absolutely for you. Again, maybe the early stages will be a bit of a chore, and the main quest line isn’t good at all, but if you want to just sit back and chill while gaming, the game is extremely enjoyable and easy to pick up and put down as and when you feel like it.
I have put 1000’s of hours into the game over multiple platforms, and every one has an incredible community. I love building my character, getting better gear and just exploring the wasteland. And I never (bar a couple of team based events) feel as though I really have to focus or struggle.
The game is absolutely for the casual player. Also, ignore the pay to win garbage because this game absolutely isn’t that. And the scrapbox that comes with Fallout 1st, although a massive help, absolutely isn’t required. Will it make inventory management easier? Absolutely. Is it essential? Absolutely not. Remember, many of us played the game before the scrap box was a thing and our stash box was 1/3 of what it is now and we still managed.
I sunk many hours into this game early on. Now I will jump in and out at months at a time and still enjoy myself.
That’s what this game is and who it is for. The laid back player. The player who dosen’t want to spend hours researching every little thing about the game and the player who dosen’t want to just do constant grind loops.
It’s not a Fallout game in a traditional sense, but it’s a relaxing and casual experience set in the Fallout world.
So if that sounds like something you’d enjoy, then the game is definitely worth playing. And every single update is completely free (their is no need whatsoever to purchase any of the optional additional ‘content’)
wait wait, the dude in the video is mentioning subscriptions for this game, it sounds like you aren't getting these updates completely free.
@@user-tp5yb4hr4w
There is an optimal subscription that provides a craft box (making it far easier to manage your inventory, but absolutely not essential) and where you can get some exclusive cosmetics…usually just appearance based items whether it’s for your camp or your character. You also get atoms which enables you to buy even more cosmetics and things like that.
However, everything game wise is completely free. There isn’t a single bit of story or gameplay content in game that isn’t available to everyone. Every single time they release any story or gameplay content, that is completely free of charge.
Does the subscription make increase the ease of play due to inventory management? Absolutely. But it’s still completely possible to play the game without it. Heck, it make actually make it easier to get caps without, because most people with Fallout 1st will simply store ammo/junk that they have zero intention of using. If you stick them in your vendor instead, you will often get people more than happy to pay for them.
The subscription, Fallout First, is totally optional. You get a few perks when you subscribe. I tried it for a year and then stopped it. It isn't needed to pay
You remind me of skill up, and create well thought out and written content. Subbed fot sure!! Remember me when you blow up bro, a fan since under 1000!! 🤙😆 Keep going man, you're gonna blow up soon, especially with all these new eyes on Fallout.
I love building, that's enough for me, most people suck at building but I've a knack for it luckily. For me it's like Minecraft in the fallout 4 universe, that's my reason I play.
My wife calls it "Post-Apocalyptic Barbie Dream House".
Level 665 here with oveer 2400 hours. This is the only game in 20 yrs to really hook me. thats all ill say.
Agreed love the game had me hooked once I got going.
This video was very well made!
I started playing it like 2 days ago, and I'm pretty impressed with it so far. Fixing to cancel yt premium and use it for the monthly sub benefits here soon. Gotta get that fusion core charger
Yeah, that's worth it. If you don't have the fusion power plant plans yet, they're available from two of the Whitesprings vendors once you're past level 25.
I love this game right now
Wow, the game is at Mostly Positive now, that's pretty cool!
People who are new to the game: worth it
People have return after so long: not worth it
Me, who has played since B.E.T.A. - sooo worth it.
Its lot better after toxic players leave and removal of legacy weapons.
And the community is the best In gaming
I’ve been playing 76 since day 1. To this day, I don’t know why, but it’s the only game that appeals to me anymore. I use to play a heavily modded FO4 on pc and since this came out I can’t go back to it. No other single or multiplayer game has interested me since 76 released.
You can get the game for £5. The community is great. Boss fights feel genuinely epic with multiple players in power armour teaming up to take down the various bosses. If you're willing to accept all of the bugs and jank, the game is enjoyable. If you go into it expecting the experience of 3 or New Vegas, you will be sorely disappointed. But if you think you might be interested in it, give it a try and see if you enjoy it. You don't need the subscription service and you don't need to engage with the games microtransactions and the grinding to unlock new items feels satisfying and rewarding
Yeah, I'm still playing FO76 daily even having been playing since the start as a subscriber, though I don't play all day long and just till finish the daily challenge board usually. Four border collies get the rest of my attention, oh and wife too. It is a bit repetitive and seems like they're making it easier and easier as progresses over time for new players. We had to fight and grovel for everything when I started playing it, and it was a big improvement when they added the NPCs, but don't make it so easy that it becomes a waste of time, keep the adventure and difficulties high. I only team up to meet challenges and join other players to beat the queen or other bosses that I can't possibly beat alone. I did try a few times to kill those hard to kill bosses alone but burned through way too much ammo of multiple types doing that or more usually failing anyway after expending outrageous amounts of ammo. I find myself playing FO 4 or NV from time to time to get the feel of FO that I really enjoy and still waiting for FO 5.
Want it to be hard again? Start a new toon at level 1. The only edge you have now is that all toons start with a full set of light leather armor and a weapon or two. Still gotta scramble to get what you need. To make it even harder, don't slot any legendary perks.
If you like Fallout, it's worth it.
76 can't be played like the other fallout games. 76 is a fallout-themed waiting room, where we wait for 5.
76 as it is bow is actually a really good game, my problem is the end game is repetitive as hell. Also the MMO part is practically nonexistent. If you have friends it can be fun, but as it is you can solo everything so there’s no reason so search for a group
good video!
A big thing for me is the community. I'll join groups and people are constantly joining me in my daily ops even if they don't need it, just to help out. New players are always being carried and given really good loot and food. If you see someone needing help you have a good chance if a player sees you they will help you. I played world of warcraft for years and this game has such a better community than most multi-player games
been playing it over the last few days, I really like it now
I bought it full price at launch and was super disappointed but I’m going to hop back in
I picked it up cheap over Thanksgiving. Been having a blast, zero regrets.
Duchess looks like one of the NPCs from starfield
Yes, I've long regarded Fallout 76 as a game that fits well with power casuals. Being a power casual player myself, I find it enjoyable to hop in after a stressful day and relax. A lot of complaints on socials stems from power gamers or serious gamers, expecting more than I think the game is designed to deliver. PVP worlds would have served that purpose, but I don't think they have enough resources to do it (as proven with the death of Nuclear Winter).
Put it this way, it’s my number 1 game played this year according to Xbox yearly look back. People hate to admit it but it’s a good game. People expect amazing but you won’t get that.
It's a good chill game...nice environment to be in.
Doesn't have an history with mmo? What about ESO tho? I know it's not managed directly by them like f76 but some background info structure could have been taken... anyway, nice game nowdays ;)
I started playing in November… and over 120 hours later, I say “Yes. It’s worth playing now.”
Just don’t it the 20 bucks a month subscription . They lock you out of a ton of necessary content unless you pay….
The only update I want to see in Appalachia is big iron being added to the radio.
Great community, fun end game grind. Great setting. It's a fun game I enjoy. And I hate everything.
It's only big on Xbox because there's litterally nothing to play on Gamepass. Im so pissed I wasted $550 on a paper weight
Oh, there are quite a few Gamepass games that are, in my opinion, worth playing - but most of them are "optimized for X/S" these days, so if you still have an Xbox One, they're unplayable.
@@DeaconBlues117 I get it, you just play Xbox. Stockholm Syndrome
@@blazzmatazz9051 Your conclusion is inaccurate. If you're playing with the Ultimate Gamepass that works on PC as well, there are even more games available.
@@DeaconBlues117 hahahahaha I can't believe your lick boots of corporations
@@blazzmatazz9051 You can't believe I... enjoy playing a game? Do you exclusively play games you hate, and complain about them constantly? What a sad, pathetic existence
Who else thinks Fallout 76 should add the robot creation feature from Fallout 4 automation dlc into the game for fun? Perhaps with limitations
imagine they up the server size to like 100 players..
wow, i actually haven't been paying any attention to this game at all since launch, i probably should have purchased the game when it was worthless, and i had no idea it's been out for 5 years, in my mind it felt more like 3 years maybe 4, but 5, wow i had no idea.
i avoided this game like the plague which is why i'm so ignorant of it's existence and all of it's updates since launch.
but i'm always glad to see a game become something better over time, it just sucks they can never really land a good launch anymore in the games industry.
EDIT: never mind i just looked at the recent reviews, it turns out people are saying this game is good because they got a free copy, if i got a free copy i might play the game but if it sucked i would say it sucked i wouldn't bend the knee and give a good review simply because they were desperate for good reviews.
we just wanted a two player fallout the mmo part ruined everything
5:50 - Oh, sure. It's better now that it has something it should have had from the beginning. No participation awards for you, BGS 😋
It's not "massive multiplayer". It's "massively multiplayer", meaning many tens or hundreds of players.
here's some engagement
Not really a FALLOUT game as one would think of it, but it's more of a Fallout-themed casual MMO game.
I played it at launch and it suuuuuuuuuuuucked sooooooo bad. Buggy glitchy mess where the world was so dead felt like there was no story at all and the player interaction was bad.. 90% of player interaction was some d bag trying to blow up your house..
Very much worth playing. It's a good game, not great. I've been playing since the beta
$9 for a pre owned game, just to have as a novelty collectable
Ya well. .. think of where everyone builds camps .. and how many times you need to server hop just to get your camp deployed .. could you imagine how many hops would take if they increased the server sizes 😮 .. and i can tell you exactly how Wade keeps losing the same item .. Overseer - you are this countries best and BRIGHTEST ... leaves vault with 3 intel .... based on that .. the man is so dull a lump of coal shines like the sun in comparison 😂😂
Falling 76 used to be a fun survival game. Until every person cried saying it wa too hard and its been watered down alot
Yes..this. It used to be fun, like hardcore good-ol' fallout survival. Now it's just a chill building game.
lol I have never been 1 tapped by any enemy in 76 that has me weak. 😂
I can't get enough of it!!!
This game is amazing.
Ide say it’s worth it, story’s kinda bland but it’s not bad
Thanks for the video. Love Fallout 4. Being able to play coop/multiplayer is so fun! F76 definitely needs a lot of work. Game buggy as hell., weak server(drop you) games needs more&better content! &other issues, but I honestly love the community! Just plain fun playing with others imo! Love the game, it's worth playing! Fallout 1 st imo at 100bucks is a rip off. 50bucks OK. They need new& better stuff in the atomic shop! Imo F76 could be GREAT , if they actually put some time &effort into working on this game!
A hundred? I pay $14.22/mo, including tax. That way, if I ever decide to stop playing FO76 I can stop paying for Fallout 1st, too.
Literally got me playing this game after 5yrs and I got it when it just came out, now im back cos Diablo4 was trash, I discovered this game again and better because of that. Thanks for being a waste Blizzard. 😂
Well,tiks never experciened that in my whole life,yucky I hcaven't had any big bugs,so sorry.
Not really surprised it has a community. Plenty of dead games had one. I'm more surprised it has one big enough to keep the game alive and justify new content. Honestly happy for them, don't get me wrong. Just surprised. Played it when it was a PS Plus game and couldn't really get into it.
What is your definition of a dead game? Fallout 76 is one of the most played games. By almost any metric is a success.
I really enjoy playing Fallout 76. It's a fun looter shooter that you can play with friends. Also, I really like the camp building system. There is a great community that has grown up around camp building.
By the way. IMO Fallout 76 is not a RPG. Yes the player can choose their own perks but that isn't true role playing. The game does not allow the player to make choices that will change the direction of the story. Nothing that the player does changes the game world.
Well, it is an online game after all. But it has a more classic dialogue system, where your build affects available dialogue decisions. You can either become allies or enemies with the Raiders in the northwest. The Brotherhood questline allows you to support one member in charge over the other, and get the other one exiled or kill them yourself, as well as be directly responsible for one of their "members" defecting to the Crater raider group, or keeping them. And since this is online, you can't just reload. Those decisions matter. The world doesn't change, but it allows for a lot of personal roleplay.
A fallout game isnt a fallout game without the bugs
I shoot the bugs with my vats 😂 They usually are just sleeping on the wall 😂 Someone should show Bethesda how easy it is to squash their own bugs. 😂
@@JwhateverJ we should play sometime...im on ps4
it became a trash. Replayed last week, the game gave me 500 bullets as soon as I left the vault. I am waiting for fallout 4 next gen
TRYD IT BUT THE GAME LOOKS SO BAD AND LOW FPS
Fallout 76 is NOT worth playing on the first 3 years. It started to be playable and lesser bugs on the 4th year. I just purchased it on the 4th year
I disagree. It used to be much more hardcore on launch...It's made to be chill now. Year 1 was its best year. It runs better now, with more content, but it's not a survival game anymore.
It is definitely not worth playing until the devs actually get their shit together and figure out what they want to do with the game aside from making it a builders paradise. The first 100 levels is really good at introducing you into the world of first person mmo's but after that it falls off so hard in terms of game balance and difficulty. This game will NEVER give you a challenge and the existance of fallout first makes the game literally unplayable for anyone who wants to play long term but doesn't want to shell out 12$ a month. The game would have been a perfect playground for a casual version of Destiny 2 if the devs knew what they wanted.
TLDR: the grind is horrible, there is no lategame, and the entire game is meant for the pay piggies. Feels like a p2w and will try to squeeze every dime out of you.
Literally unplayable? That's going to come as a BIG surprise to a lot of people I know. (Heck, I opened a second account just to show myself that the F1st stuff, while cool, isn't necessary. If you see Sir Rhosis around, say hi!)
The answer is in the title: *5 years later* meaning, no. It should have been up to par at release, not a ½ decade later.
Short answer from a person who still plays this game: no, its not worth it
Any another short answer from a person who still plays it. no, its definitely not worth it
So why do you still play it 😂
@@thepointyone100 I still play it for the scoreboard rewards and I haven't tried the new expo out yet but I already know it's gonna be bad because I've seen PTS players try it already. It's boring and pretty lackluster. those two reasons are why I'm playing it rn but I don't play as much as I used to cause there really isn't a good enough reason to fully invest my time into this game rn
If you're playing a dead game 5 years later, that was dead on launch, it's definitely worth it. 😂😂😂
@@JwhateverJ you do realize people weren't playing it as much before than they are now because of how shitty it was right? If it didn't get updates then it would have most definitely died. Don't try to sound smart when the facts obviously point to you being a dumbass. Also wastelanders is what brang alot of the fans back to the game me included cause It was genuinely starting to look like it was going in a solid direction..until today 💀 but it's still seems like they want to add more things to the game eventually and by the looks of the notes being added every new update they seem to be planning something "hopefully" big storywise.
Ill save everyone some time No it isn't.
It is tho. Or you could go play the day before...that seems fun. 😂😂
sound is at 100 on laptop and I still barely hear him
