So witty. Kind of a joke when professional reviewers do this.

Yup. It's not a coincidence that the highest scores are 76.

That feel when the mobile Fallout game is more beloved than this.

Nominative determinism?

7.5 feels fair to me. I'd personally give it an 8 or so. I don't just bash or praise it, tho.

I actually point out what it has going for it, while also looking at it's negatives.

Here's what I said in another thread:

The game has legitimate issues, such as storage space and how cumbersome the camp building can be. Also, a lot of bugs that need to be ironed out. I've had bugs with ammo disappearing from my inventory, and bugs with invisible and/or unlootable enemies. My friend can see these enemies, so I know it's just a bug. I've also had bugs with spawning inside my friends camp placements when fast traveling to his camp. Fast traveling again usually fixes this one. There's another bug where my perks don't work after I level up, but re-logging fixes it. Some frame drops when I get in a large fight. Graphical bugs, like enemies stretching out.

I'm confident that most of these can be fixed with patches over time.

The other issues that people complain about are empty world and no human NPCs to interact with. I find the dead/empty world complaint to be bogus, as that's just more of the same with fallout. Most of my time spent in every fallout game was me just exploring a gray and brown landscape, with the occasional gunfight in between. Fallout 76 is more of that, but with more landscape verity like jungle/swamp areas, mountains areas, forests areas AND desert areas. Not just one type, like Fallout 3 (urban desolation mixed with wasteland) or fallout new vegas (desert). The areas in between, with human NPC interaction were always inconsequential for me, as the meat of fallout (for me) was exploring a post apoc world. That's where this game shines. There is story here as well, just not in the typical way that we are use to.

Basically, if the part of fallout that drawn you in the most was the exploring, looting, crafting and fighting, then you will probably feel right at home with this one. If you're a dialog wheel kinda guy, then PROBABLY pass this one up.

Gamespot and even IGN are shitting on the game

I havent heard any good reviews from reviewers and the lowest common denominator fans of the game are super pissed. I've seen people say the reviewers were paid to give bad reviews lol

I went back to Fallout 4 and bought the DLC immediately after returning 76. The difference between NPCs being in the game even though you're exploring deserted areas most the time is that, there is actually the feeling that you might find someone that gives what you're doing deeper meaning. In 76 you know exactly what is around every corner, just more enemies. There is no added excitement of maybe finding an NPC that is in need of help or might want something with more depth than just your death. If you take out NPCs in most open world games you'll end up with a world void of meaning.
