If you like fallout 3 and New Vegas, you will enjoy Fallout 76. It has come a long way since its initial rocky release. There are plenty of quests and daily missions to undertake, and if you have friends, they can join your game too. I don't like how they have locked off specific game modes behind a very expensive monthly subscription, though. I think that needs to go. I'd understand if the game were free to play; however, it is not. The world is large, with many interesting locations to explore and various enemies to tackle. The combat is OK, although I personally do not like how the VATS targeting system works. It was much more enjoyable in FO3 and NV, IMO. It's a shame they cannot add that system into Fallout 76. Bethesda could also make a high-resolution texture pack, as the graphics are a little blurry and lack definition. The fact that they currently have around 13 Million players, a good portion of which will be paying the £11.99 a month subscription means Bethesda is making Millions of pounds a month off of the subscription service alone. They need to invest that back into quality-of-life improvements, some of which I have mentioned. Now, what are you waiting for? Get out there and explore the wastes of Fallout 76! Good luck.

DX11 for less stutter

It's a shame about the bad optimisation. You pay £70 for a game that runs like crap. However, the story, acting and atmosphere are all there. Once the game is optimised, it will be a killer experience.

I found a potential fix for the stuttering, try this https://youtu.be/2JXSbpzGiRQ

Dice lost me after Battlefield 4! It was downhill from there. This game does not feel like a battlefield game to me. It's pretty crap.

The game is laughable. The idea is there, but a velociraptor shouldn't have to bite a chicken more than seven times for it to die. Or, in most instances, run off into some bush. Goats run too fast and seem to have unlimited stamina. How long has this game been out? Years. You would have thought it would be better after all this time. The graphics are not great either due to the render distance being short. The jungle areas look OK, but the performance isn't great, with lots of frame drops. Survival works in other games; you need to build bases and keep warm.; Not here, the nest option does not work, and all there is to do is look for food, which usually runs faster than you, and you can't catch it anyway. It got boring after an hour. There is more frustration in this game than fun. I cannot recommend it at this time.

Full of cheaters using wall hack (ESP) and Aim bot. It's hard to enjoy the game with so many cheaters. I've almost given up on playing any PC PVP game due to how easy it is for hackers to make cheats. Just search YouTube for The Cycle cheats and you will find channels advertising their cheats for sale.

The world feels lifeless and the game gives me no motivation to play. I loved the Batman games, but this just falls short. Wouldn't recommend at this stage. Maybe the devs will flesh out Gotham a little more?

I'm enjoying the game, but the level of people cheating has just got bad lately. These cheaters are so blatant as well. Suddenly appearing at the airlock out of nowhere and they just don't die. One guy just stood there and let me unload all of my ammo into him and then shot me when I had ran out. Then you have the people using wall hack or ESP so they know exactly where you are, even if you are crouched and not moving. I have to thumbs down until the cheating issue is dealt with. It is clear easy anti cheat is not working.

I'd like to see a solo only game mode too and maybe a PVE mode with no PVP.

Just no

Even without mods, SCOP still puts some modern games to shame. Can't wait for the next instalment.
