Fallout 76 Power Armor Edition - Xbox One

I currently have 106 hours playing Fallout 76. The game has bugs and Bethesda is working on fixing them. Aside from the bugs I am really enjoying this game and have played it completely solo. This game is not the typical Fallout game and plays differently it’s more of a online survival mmo hybrid except has a storyline and quests littered all over the place. Those who say it has no story clearly have not played this game. The overall map is huge with endless things to explore. If you’re looking for a complete single player typical Fallout experience You May or may not like this game. I personally am a huge Fallout fan but also a creature of habit and really enjoy grindy RPGs and crafting type games so that does affect my positive opinion towards Fallout 76. 80% of the community probably does not agree with my opinion and most diehard Fallout fans are pretty upset about this game not being Fallout 5. On to the actual physical product the Power Armor helmet is nice though the voice modulator is a bit weak and you can hear yourself over it. The bag is not canvas as described it is nylon so not as durable and feels cheap. The toy soldiers are pretty neat if your into small plastic figurines and the map is well just a map that does glow in the dark. Overall I think this should have been priced more in the $150 range than $200.

I was super hyped for this when I saw it at E3. My first collector's edition of a Fallout game. The helmet is 5 out of 5 for me, it's really cool looking and THE item that makes this edition. The "canvas" bag is a cheap nylon replacement, it sucks. The bag is a 1 out of 5. The rest of the items are good 3.5 out of 5. I waited to see the reviews for this game before I opened it. I will not be opening and playing Fallout 76 UNTIL Bethesda fixes this crap. Plenty of videos on YouTube to turn you away. For $200+, not worth it.

I have no problem with the game itself but the actual product as a whole has a major problem. One of the items in the package is not as it is described in the description. At the time I ordered, at the time the product shipped, and still right now, the pictures show and the write up says it comes with a "canvas carrying case" but the case is a really poor quality nylon that just looks like it'll tear if I try to carry anything in it. If I bought the game alone I'd give it a 4. It's really fun but really buggy and desperately needs the improvements they say they're working on, but when a product's description straight out LIES about what it contains I have to give it a 1. In case the product page changes, here's what it currently says, "West Tek Canvas Carrying Bag".

So, bought this as a Christmas gift to be for my son. Where to begin. My son played the Beta on xbox and liked it. I have played the retail version for a few hours on a friend's PS4. I enjoyed that. The reviews have been brutal. I hope the technical issues will be patched. Bethesda says they are committed to this game. We will see. I am on the fence on whether to return it. My son loves Fallout. I think he will forgive Bethesda no matter how broke this game is. I am not qualified to say if the multiplayer style is the right direction to take Fallout. No human npc's is odd. I get the aesthetic but it is jarring compared to Fallout 4. I don't know if story can be delivered as effectively in this barren landscape . As it stands now, I would not buy this for myself. It's just too much of a mess and the community is not happy. This is a wait and see situation. For me though, I have to decide whether to disappoint my son by returning this and he didn't get it as a gift or give it to him and see if the game disappoints him.

The Collector's Edition is great! The helmet is well designed and looks as if it was pulled directly out of the game. I can also commend Bethesda for the poster and action figures that are included. The map/poster is very highly detailed, I have yet to frame and hang it. Unfortunately, this is where the positives begin to dwindle. The carrying bag included in the box was not canvas as originally advertised during E3. What is included instead is a thin nylon bag. Every time I touch it or use I fear that I will snag a nylon thread and ruin the bag. Very unfortunate corner to cut in the whole package. The game itself is okay. It seems to have been released many months too early. The game is still in a buggy and unreliable state two weeks after release. The game itself is fun, but it lacks the mainstays of previous Fallout games. I would recommend the game, but not at $60 and surely not as $200.

The game is okay. Not the best Fallout game but what I like about this one is the fact that it's online and you are able to explore alongside friends or meet new people and explore together. If you play solo then you might not like it as much due to the fact that the game has no NPCs and it will get lonely. The game mainly relies on interacting with robots, listening to holotapes, and reading notes/reading from terminals for quests and the story to this game. The game still has plenty of bugs that could ruin the experience for you. I haven't ran into a bug yet so it doesn't affect all players. The Power Armor Edition comes with a nice plastic helmet and a few other collectibles. My only disappointment was with the bag that was said to be a canvas bag when the collector's edition was first announced. Instead it came with a nylon bag so they lied about the canvas part. The game itself deserves a chance once the developers fix the bug issues and add more content to it. A fallout game in where you can explore a wasteland with a group of friends how is that not awesome?

*Make sure YOU are the one that opens the package first. The helmet we received had to be one that was actually assembled well. The light is nice, the fit is snug with the adjustable screw pad inside. The voice module is terrible.The figures are really nice but the *canvas* bag is not canvas, more nylonish. Now the game, it is not as bad as people claim. I would give the game a 3 out of 5 for being able to be in the fallout universe with my friends and Father. This review mainly about the poor responsibility of who Bethesda employed to make this collectors edition. It seems from other reviews they pushed quantity over quality when collector edition's should be the latter.

First off I will start by saying that yes the game has some bugs. What online game hasnt launched with bugs. I personally find this game to be enjoyable playing either solo or with a group. I did find that it is much more enjoyable in a group. There is a lot of exploration in this game. It did take some time getting use to not having npc's telling me where to go but I quickly got over that. Also the stash limit is a non factor. I kicked my hoarding tendencies to the side and only stash what I'll need. Weapons and armor that are lower level I just scrap and move on. I would say if you have a group of friends that love fallout pick up this game and it a chance. I'm sure with future updates new content will come out and there will be plenty of things to do.
