I'm surprised by this, I didn't think IGN had it in them to rate it lower than a 6.

I didn't see that coming ign has hyped this game up alot

LMFAO I said awhile ago about imagining it turn out as the next Mass Effect Andromeda. Seem like it not so much different :D

the monotony coincides with the myriads of unnecessary blogposts that are all stating the same. everybody and their mother knows it by now. this „me blogger, me want clickrevenue, me write about big brand game, so big revenue happen. me not care that 32 other bloggers already told the same thing“-mentality is SO annoying.

Oof, madonne!

Call them hack/corrupt journos, but IGN's review matters massively to big companies.

Reads like a 2/10.

5/10 from ign may as well be 0/10.

too generous, it metacritic score should be red not yellow.

I'm enjoying seeing this game fail...

welp that's it might as well get the shovel and dig the grave . ..

I knew it was hot garbage! A cash grab.

Is it really that bad?

You know you messed up when even IGN has not choice than yo give you a bad score. I'm sure the fan reaction influenced this though. Whenever IGN has to trash a big profile game they just go with their classic 7/10 so that the publishers don't get TOO mad. Gotta get them free copies after all.

Wow I am surprised that the Gamespot review for this trash of game is not on the front page!

I don't blame this guy for vandalizing Gamestop, because they won't give him a full refund!

What an atrocity of a game! Back to Red Dead Redemption 2 while drinking my beer bubba.

Huh. Surprised by this. I put in some time with the game this past weekend and found it a solid Fallout outing. Looking forward to having a chance to play more. A lot of reviews I'm seeing are complaining about the survival elements and the crafting mechanics like they're never played a Fallout game before. I guess to each his own. Luckily, review scores don't have an overall impact in my enjoyment of a title, and Fallout 76 has been fun for me so far. Bugs are a bit annoying though. I had 3 crashes while playing about 10 hours. Like any online game like this, the real test will come over time as they add features, new content, events, etc.

Fatality

I've actually never really played any of the Fallout games, so I'm not entirely sure if all the overwhelming hate towards Fallout 76 is justified or if it is just hyperbole coming from intolerant, self-entitled fanatics of the franchise. Nonetheless, it seems Fallout 76 is the Metal Gear Survive of the Fallout franchise.

ugh..... bought this after a friend pestered me on its release date to play it together, problem is I got it digitally.... fml can't even sell it or get a refund etc...

2 points lower than Sea of Thieves... They must really hate it...
