this vs fallout 4

[Goose]

Which one should I play

[Pronoun Paladin ☯]

Fallout 4 is the better game. Better-world building, better story (and that's not saying much), the mechanics are better...it' just a better game. 76 can be fun and could be a game you add to your library after you've beaten Fallout 4, modded Fallout 4 and thoroughly exhausted Fallout 4.

About the only reason I could see getting Fallout 76 over Fallout 4, would be if you had a bunch of friends who wanted to game together.

Fallout 76 isn't a "bad" game, but it's not the amazing game the others in the series were.

full agreement

Fallout 4, by a long shot.

Fallout 76, easily.

The story of FO76 (original, not updates) is at least unique. FO4 is full of plagiarized ideas, not homages. See the writers influences here: https://twitter.com/Dezinuh/status/1668690383293784066
(Older/more knowledgeable the worse it gets).

FO76 is public so you can easily share your creations. You play as "you" and not some predefined character. It is getting updates, slowly but still.

FO4 relies heavily on the modding community. At that stage you aren't playing the original vision.

[The Presence]

Even vanilla, unmodded FO4 is better than FO76.

Fallout 76 is just a much better Fallout 4 when it comes to gameplay and game mechanics. And like Mooman said, the fact that Fallout 4 heavily relies on mods makes it lose some of its initial value.

[Ziloh]

What makes fallout 4 a better game is the mods imo; fallout76 is a different kind of game about farming and wasting your RL caps.

Fallout 76 is a better made game, but Fallout 4 is more Fallout because of the singleplayer.

I have to agree Fallout 76 is a more polished game because of the improvements in gameplay and interface. But Fallout 4 is just a better game by miles and miles.

Fallout 4 by far. Fallout 4 is supposed to be receiving a free next-gen update as well.

Really? This might be worth re-installing Fallout 4.

[nordmeyerx]

Fallout 4 has a much MUCH better story line and is repeatable to side with different factions. Fallout 76 has ZERO consequences for your actions and decisions don't seem to matter at all past how much rep you gain. In that regard I declare Fallout 4 to be the better game. However, that being said Fallout 76 has play-ability left in it once you complete the main quests.

[Blues Man]

If you really like adding mods and trying out different ones then its 4.

After you have played 4's quests over and over.... and over.
You have some different one to play here.

[Vic Evicerator]

Both. They scratch different itches.

Why you compare 2 different games? choice is easy, want to play alone? fallout 4 , want to play alone but sometimes with other ppl? fallout76, all other options are kids measuring how long is his ♥♥♥♥.
