It's better than Fallout 4, however, it's more difficult. Survival is key, so it's best to choose survival based perks at the beginning. The map is huge so you will rarely run into other players, so it still feels like a single player game.

I wouldn't say it's rare that you won't find people but I don't like the game at all it's just like all the other fallouts except for the fact that it's online now

Overall I'm a fan of the fallout series but fallout 76 is online duh?... I haven't bumped into any "hostile" players yet but the game seems to be the same as fallout 4 without the online part to the game survival is key to this game where food and water are definitely a must have when getting to grips with the game and the usage per rank I:E weapons etc you can definitely tell who's packing heat and good gear ... I'm only level 7 but I'm enjoying the game .... joining up with other players to complete quests is definitely a new thing for fallout, there is a few nitches and glitches inbetween but with updates in the future I don't see why this game would be a great game for online ...
I'd recommend to any fallout or AAA Fan ...

Thanks to all for the replies! I ended up getting the game and I do enjoy and definitely don't regret the purchase! It is different but still plays and feels like Fallout. I'd also recommend to any Fallout fan out there!
