I have no idea how you can praise GoW and F76 in thd space of a year. It's good that  you're njoying it, it means you aren't one oc the unlucky many but c'mon man. Standards. Have some standards.  

I'm a Fallout fan and I went in with appropriate expectations (expecting a AA multiplayer Fallout game by a new, untested developer), it's as simple as that. Do I think it's amazing and that it deserved some award nominations at The Game Awards next month? No, of course not (well maybe a best soundtrack nomination because Inon Zur killed it, easily one of the top 2 soundtracks I have heard this year). But neither do I think it is terrible like the critics seem to, I'd say it's at least above average. It's far from the best game I have played this year. but that doesn't mean it is bad because I have mainly played good-amazing games this year (DragonBall FighterZ, Far Cry 5, God of War 4, Detroit, Spider-Man, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, AC Odyssey, RDR2), but I am enjoying it more than a few other games I tried this year like Monster Hunter World and Sea of Thieves (neither is bad per se, they just weren't my type of game). 

It's also worth noting that I rented Fallout 76 from Gamefly, if I had paid $60 for it like every previous Fallout and Elder Scrolls game since TES 4 in 2006, I would probably be a bit more disappointed than I am. 

Is the game playable solo? I don’t really have gaming online friends (cuz I’m very fickle and basically stop talking to ppl the second I switch to a new game, so I don’t maintain gaming online friendships. I reserve my efforts in maintaining relationships of RL friends/family). 

I’m in a gaming slump right now and I’m not averse to wasting 60bucks on a game if I don’t end up enjoying it. I bought RDR2 full price and I havent’ gotten out of the snow area yet lol.
