All new lowest price on fallout 76, haven't bought it cos I don't wanna support this junk but for anyone else that's interested here you go
Edit: thanks for pointing out the wrong link, I have now posted the correct one
lol
Apparently the standard version of this game might go F2P, which is why copies are either moving off shelves at bargain prices or why some of them are no longer available at all because they were returned in a buy-back program. Dunno how true that is, but considering how the game was received and how much they love microtransactions in this game, it going F2P wouldn't be a far stretch. Buy at your own risk that you might be burned at this soon being free.

Bethesda has since refuted this rumor: https://www.kotaku.com.au/2019/01/fallout-76-is-not-going-fr…
But considering how Bethesda handles their PR lately, I wouldn't be surprised if that's to sell as many copies as possible before it going F2P.
To anyone who has purchased this game and has glimpsed through the veil of negativity: Is there any redeeming value to Fallout 76?
It's a decent time waster. If you don't care about story, lore or anything from the other Fallout games, it's a decent thing to just mindlessly shoot stuff in since the shooting is pretty solid at least. But that's about the best thing I can say about it.
Even as a mindless time waster it breaks itself, I try and shoot something and the game will hitch for no reason
To an extent, yeah that's true. I've seen the AI just freeze and do nothing while I shoot at em. LUL
@KARMAAA: It's inexplicable.
They presumably have access to the latest idtech engine for nothing or very favourable terms and yet here we are.
I bought it from this site a few days ago for 16ish after finally getting a bit burnt out of Fallout 4. Wasn't expecting too much but actually it's not bad, I have enjoyed myself so far.
The new perk system is surprisingly fun (I thought I would hate it) and there is a huge world to explore and plenty to do. However I can already see the game will have significantly less replayability, especially since the settlement system is gone and replaced with a 'camp' that is largely locked behind plans that have to be found in the world or purchased for money. Not to mention mods are what really helped me to get so much out of 4, as well as variant playthroughs that don't really seem to fit with the online nature.
TLDR: ok game for a few bucks, would have much preferred it to be single player.
Its a fun game and yes it has some bugs but welcome to any Bethesda game tbh,
Its come along way since ot was launched, and for under $20 you will get an easy amount of time out of it TBH
For those saying 'not online bla bla bla' you don't even see other players half the time TBH so that's not a major issue :/
the game should be called FartOut 76
Very clever.
Truly champagne comedy.
Bethesda is very quiet now must be up to something worse to release
Rumour from Bethesda's dungeon that some of the staffs involving in this game have been tortured and executed for their atrocious effort.
They're busy working on the port of Skyrim to the N-gage
Loved this review from shadowwarrior on ozb:
Do not buy it…. this is a train wreck…. I bet Starwars Battlefront 2 is actually a better game than this to play….
- boring
- monotonous
- walking simulator
- no end game
😂🤣
Star Wars Battlefront 2 uses one of the most advanced game engines anywhere, you bet it's good to play.
Well, other than EA's appalling greed and lack of insight for anything other than raping whatever game IP they have for the highest three month returns they can get, consequences be damned. The greedy morons actually managed to screw up Star Wars which is quite a feat.
I played Battlefront 2 very recently, really enjoyed it! Might wait a bit longer for F76 however.
Same :)
I wasn't knocking starwars either it was more about the comments below the star wars part, I played it on PC from the start when there was a good NZ/Auz player base that has now dried up and puts me into the games from the states with pings around 250-300ms mark which makes it almost unplayable. But couldn't agree with you more after they stopped or become soo slow to app new content people got bored and went RD2, Spider man etc. Even with Battlefield V after two weeks it was half price just shows the level of garbage they're pumping out. Going to be interesting how Anthem is released!
Dont even support them. this game I mean. Wait, might be coming out as free.
Can’t say how bad the game is. Was playing earlier today and constantly being griefed by level 100++. Can’t enjoy the game solo. Not even a private server or online single player mode.
Don’t buy the game, it’s complete trash, better off buying Fallout 4 GOTY.
Sounds horrible! Thanks for the tip, I'll hold off.
I think if this was free I wouldn't even play it.. it is just so bad.
says "Region: Europe Middle East and Africa" are you sure we can activate it in Australia?
Yea I posted the wrong link but don't worry as the au/nz code is The same Price. https://www.cdkeys.com/pc/games/fallout-76-pc-aus-nz-cd-key
This review is like 2 hours long, but it points out all the problems (that he experienced) with the game more in depth than the typical short review. Worth a skim if you have the time.
It's a bit hard to skim a 2 hour Youtube video though…
Okay I meant just watch the whole thing =]
thank you for pointing this out
Oops my bad! The au/nz code is The same Price tho
I received a PS4 copy for Xmas (god love them) and I can't even flog it off on ebay for a worthwhile price. Bit awkward!
76 managed to remove all that I love about Fall Out and leave the mechanics I cared least about. Introduce mechanics no one asked for somehow integrate it all so poorly. I doubt this game would succeed even as free to play. There are simply better things to do with your time.
The setting, period, map are decent from what I've seen. It just terrible how it's all a wasted on this kind of game
Still too expensive.
negative post becauze found it cheaper else where?
Did you find it cheaper elsewhere or are you asking?
Nah i mean why would someone negative vote this… May not be the best game but still a good deal. Unless they've found it cheaper
The guy left the negative against the game not the price

@brent3000: Ah I never noticed you could see what people voted on the post when they comment, that's pretty cool
I purchased it from CDKeys when it was slightly more expensive 1 month ago. The problem with Bethesda MMOs of course is that they cannot be modded to fix shortcomings, add new features, beautify the game, or increase diversity (eg more weapons). About the only modding you could permit for MMOs would be client side texture replacements.
Appearing as $15.99 now?

One of the four-star review for the game on the site:
"Although not quite as good as Fallout 75 this is still an amazing game. The graphics are similar to Fallout 62 if you ask me but not as bad as 46. I only gave it four stars as I wanted to give it six but it only goes as high as five and five doesn't sound as cool as four."
