A 1-10 system does not mean a 4 is barely functioning. A 1-10 scale for bad or good means essentially the following
-1 Terrible game, does not function, crashes that do not get fixed, These Rarely come along, games have bad launches but generally bad crashes that make the game unplayable are fixed in a matter of days.
-2 Has major issues but doesn't crash
-3 Works but some features are not usable
-4 Features work but the game elements are not good or don't blend together, Bad story, shallow gameplay, poor art work etc, basically bad design not bad implementation
-5 Average, it's not a bad game it's not a good game, it doesn't crash just isn't really memorable in anyway.
-6 Good Game Good design, gameplay and story not the best but was fun. ( 6-7 are very subjective as we get away from actual provable issues and move into the personal taste of a game)
-7 Good Game Good design, gameplay and story not the best but was fun.
-8 Great Game, Really enjoyed it, fresh take will talk about with everyone this thing rocked, will form core memories around the fun. ( 8-9 are very subjective as well, personal taste of a game)
-9 Great Game, Really enjoyed it, fresh take will talk about with everyone this thing rocked, will form core memories around the fun.
-10 Genre Defining game, These games were so great and loved they changed the industry and spawned millions of copy cat games.
On no metric of 1-10 with 1 being the worst and 10 being the best, would a game like fallout76 be a 4, that's near the halfway point in what you expect a game to be, it would be a 2 maybe a 3.
You don't call a game good with incredibly shallow combat and inconsistent and contradictory storyline, with shallow gameplay elements like the examples given above around stats meaning nothing, magic meaning nothing aero, fire, thunder, stone all just coloured particle effects with no gameplay impact on which you use, just a filler for an incredibly bland 3 hit combo combat system.
You can't disagree with the spoiler interpretations because that wasn't an interpretation, that was exactly what happened in game. I didn't adlib I didn't claim something from my own head cannon, that's exactly what happened in game in the story. I would respect it if you said my opinion on the combat being shallow is just that, and opinion, but the comment I made about the story being trash is 100% factually accurate.
