New Vegas is definitely one of those games that you'd wish you could forget about it just to re-experience it all over again.

New Vegas is so special. The starting town of Goodsprings, as you may know, actually exists in Nevada, and this year they celebrated New Vegas Day. They hope to make it an annual thing now.

“And so, the courier who cheated death in the cemetery outside Goodsprings, cheated death once again.” New Vegas will forever be one of my favorite games!

The fallout 4 intro is tied into the gameplay in a pretty neat way. The male player character defaultly named "Nate" is an army veteran and the intro was a speech he was supposed to give the day the bombs fell. He was practicing it in front of the mirror.

Fun fact: "House Always Wins" is a quest given by none other then Mr House. Most quest names are references to sayings like this or old song titles.

6:48 so this is actually the "divergence point" in the Fallout universe. Where their reality becomes an alternate reality. America leaned hard into nuclear energy, went on to produce fusion power also toward the 21st century. Tremendous power sources and large machinery defined American culture forward, along with less reliance on the dwindling oil supplies. Cars use atomic reactors, robotics are commonplace. However they also skipped miniaturization and microchips and never developed microcomputers, instead any computers are clunky primitive vacuum tube machines, or controlled by repurposed death row brains. The use of nuclear energy meant America was spared most the destruction from oil running out, which led to the collapse of Europe and the glassing of the middle east in the mid 21st, which also meant basically anything was made out of steel, not plastic. Add a whole bunch of fifties Dixieland flavor to the picture, and you've got the Fallout universe.

Little lore tidbit. Prior to the Great War (when all the countries launched all their nukes at each other), Robert House, CEO of RobCo, invent a missile defense system that targeted and intercepted nuclear missiles. Which is why the Vegas strip, and some of the surrounding area was mostly untouched by nuclear warfare. RobCo invented things such as the computer terminals you see in game, the iconic Pip-Boy, and the various robots that are still active 2 centuries later.

I'm a US Army vet myself, and other games dont affect me, but at the end of the FO4 into, when Nate says, "War never changes," I tear up every time. Actor hit it perfectly.

God, to this day Fallout: New Vegas is absolutely one of the best games ever made. Easily among my top five with the likes of Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door, Nier: Automata, Persona 5, and Mass Effect 2. It's such an incredible open world with a massive cast of fantastically written characters, from the main ones that are intrical to the story to tiny bit part throwaway characters you may never end up meeting in the first place. Exploring the Mojave Wasteland is so satisfying, and removes most of the clunkiness of exploring the Capital Wasteland in Fallout 3. So much of the game is streamlined so well to be such a perfect balance of 1st/3rd person shooter and Open World RPG that no other game in the series is able to capture. That's not even mentioning the 4 incredible DLCs that the game got, which are some of the best of any Bethesda game period. It's a shame that Bethesda likes to pretend that this game doesn't exist seeing as they weren't the ones who made it. It's even more impressive when you realize that Obsidian (the studio that made the game) were able to complete development on the game in only 18 months with a HUGE (and really unethical) crunch put on them by Bethesda to finish in time. New Vegas is truly a masterpiece, and one of the very few games out there that I would give a perfect 10/10 to. Absolutely something that I recommend all gamers play at least once.

In case you didn't recognize the voice, the guy in checkered suit in New Vegas' intro (roughly 4:40-5:10) was voiced by Matthew Perry.

Fallout NV really takes the cake for me, Imagine you The Courier, getting shot in the head twice only to comeback and bash and fight through the Legion and the NCR to get the delivery package that was stolen from you

New Vegas intro is so well written, I can tell by the reactions you guys were pretty invested!

Fallout 4 is honestly my favorite intro in the series. A unique perspective of Pre-War life, and the narrator, Nate, the male Sole Survivor, just gives an amazing speech. That, combined with the music and visuals, really sells just how bad things were becoming for everyone The soldier in power armor, just looking at his eyes tells you everything you need to know

If you want more light hearted fallout media I'd recommend watching the "fallout 4 What makes you special trailers" and the fallout 76 vault tec/ cartoon trailers are very funny

"Truth is. Game was rigged from the start." What an iconic line and a fantastic opening to a game. New Vegas is easily the best of the FPS Fallout games.

It's a little weird that the NCR flag has a bear with two heads considering bears are one of the few animals that don't have two heads lol. Stags, cows, etc do have two heads in Fallout, but bears don't.

Fallout 3 "where's my father!?" Fallout 4 "Where's my son!?" Fallout NV "Where's the motherf***** who shot me in the head!?"

I’m glad you guys finally reacted to these, and yeah “War never changes” is an interesting line, but there’s a little bit added to it from the end of The Lonesome Road DLC, “It’s said, war, war never changes. Men do, through the roads they walk.”

Actually vault 76 was one of the few vaults where there were no experiments. It really was made for a select group to rebuild America after the bombs.

While I haven't played anything before Fallout 3, I haven't met a Fallout game I didn't sink hundreds of hours into and love every minute of it. Some of them are better than others (and the most recent ones definitely lower the bar as far as writing and personal choice go), but honestly I think every one of them has something great to offer the people (like myself) who just love to wander and explore, soaking in the new world that's been built on the ruins of the old. These games have such a strange mixture of gloom and hope, an at-times whimsical outlook on an objectively depressing state of the world and humanity that never stops driving forward with an iron determination to survive. Ironically, Fallout: New Vegas is probably the one that feels the least "Fallout" and yet is considered by many (including myself) to be the gold standard for what a Fallout game can and should be. It offers the most choice for who you want your character to be, which factions you want to support, and how you want to shape the new world...and offers a lot of solid writing (something later titles "struggled" with) with interesting characters and situations. It also has the honor of having some of the best DLC of pretty much any game in history when it comes to expanding the game's content and bringing in interesting new stories that are all unique and individual, yet put together tell a compelling and unified tale. They really don't make em like it anymore...as dated as it is now, it's still fantastic and it's one of the top games I'd absolutely LOVE to get a modern day re-release with bug fixes and graphical updates to make it smoother and prettier while keeping everything it IS exactly the same. Whether you're looking for contemplations on the philosophical nature of mankind and society, the thrill and danger of exploring "ancient" ruins and piecing together the stories of the old world, or just playing into the post-apocalyptic fantasy setting by being whoever you want to be in this world...the Fallout series really is pretty incredible. Even the rougher titles have things to love about them, and the best of Fallout is some of the best of gaming, period. Love this series, and I'm so glad to get to share it with you. :)

War… war never changes

Some of the most horrific game related lore I've ever read about was about the Vaults of the Fallout Universe. If you two want to hear some crazy tales, look up some videos about them...they were never meant to just save humanity.

the Apocalypse in the world of Fallout happens on the morning of October 31st, 2077, hence why if you play the later games, you will actually see an ad about a shop selling Halloween Costumes.

Yeah I ain't going to lie it's been awhile since I've seen fallout 4 intro and it definitely does hit differently now lol.

Fun fact about the Police Robots, there are individual ones too! With unique faces, and personalities based on the people Mr. House knew.

The fallout series of games has always been near and dear to my heart, I still play new vegas to this day because I love the story and the setting, now I'm probably among the few that thought fallout 4 wasn't horrible, not great but not horrible just somewhere inbetween and same goes for 76, although 76 is the only online version of a fallout game I still enjoyed playing it alone or with my brother in a private world server. But I always always always come back to new vegas and I think the biggest reason for it is the factions in new vegas just show that the story is not a black and white good and evil story, it's honestly all just shades of gray at best. Also the intro narrations from Ron Perlman are just fantastic and the quote "War....war never changes" gives me goosebumps to this day, and just a side thing about that quote, I have seen from time to time some people being annoyed with the quote itself as some ppl say it's quite an inaccurate quote because war changes all the time but I feel that interpretation is a bit to literal, I take it as meaning that while the methods and weapons of war may change the core reasons almost never do. I am quite happy that you both decided to react to these intro's and i'd highly recommend playing new vegas if either of you ever get the chance

I have been playing New Vegas for the first time! It's such a good game It makes me wish for more games like it to exist in today's gaming environment

I have an NCR jacket, but I always consider myself an Enclave haha

I love the Fallout series so seeing both of your reactions makes me so happy ! Fallout New Vegas is my all time favorite game. It’s a game that I wish I could play for the first time again

I agree you should definitely check out what happened inside the vaults because some of the things are horrifying. I always enjoy your reactions to things :)

you guys should've seen my face when i saw this was uploaded! great video

Been playing Fallout so this was awesome to see in my notifications

Fallout 4's intro is the most meaningful one in my eyes, because not only is the narration done by either the player's character (or their character's soon to be dead husband if they choose to play as a woman), but the narration is being done by someone who's living in the world right before it gets annihilated by nuclear bombs. Fallout 4 has it's fair share of problems, but I think its my favorite opening in the franchise just because it's the only one I've seen that personally ties to the player character beyond just telling the player about their characters life story before the game starts.

New Vegas was pretty much untouched because it was protected by Mr House. The owner of the company Robco. His defense systems took out most of the direct attacks on NV. It also struck me that that is where Hank was headed in the TV show. My guess is the main big wigs of vault tec are there in cryostasis because they understand it’s the safest place in the US.

“I hope this interaction doesn’t cause any fallout between us, FALLOUT NEW VEGAS”

New Vegas has a mission/quest name that will forever be my favorite throughout all of fallout, its called "No gods, no masters". Its a quest you get if you chose to take destiny in your own hands.

New Vegas is definitely the standout in its style. An amazing game through and through. Btw, Amazon is developing a live action Fallout series with the Westworld folks as showrunners! And Obsidian has basically begged Bethesda to let them do another Fallout game while we wait on Bethesda to do Fallout 5 (eta is +10 years for FO5).

I wasn’t into gaming. When New Vegas came out, but fallout 4 to this day is my favorite and the trailer still gives me goosebumps

That statement you made starting at 12:01, you're not wrong.

Vault 76 is one of the few vaults that was actually built to help rebuild America. FO76 started off bad, and turned me off because multiplayer, but now is is my top 3 favorite fallouts. The story continues to evolve, and I'm hoping that the storyline of fallout 76 impacts the story of fallout 5, because we have been doing a good job of helping each other out in FO76. I think it's a social experiment by Todd Howard.

I don't remember where I got it, but I have a "Making of..." DVD for New Vegas. One of the featurettes is the voice acting sessions. The voice actor of Benny (the guy in the checkered coat) is Matthew Perry a.k.a. Chandler Bing of "Friends".

I totally recommend reacting to the dlc trailers for 3 new vegas and 4!

Im glad to have seen this reaction today.

Fun fact that bad guy in the checkered suit (Benny) in Fallout New Vegas is voiced by Matthew Perry aka Chandler from friends!

Man, I wish you could get to meet Joshua Graham (The Burned Man) and Ulysses (Courier 6) in a context that made sense for one of your reactions. But they are very "talky talky" and without playing the rest of New Vagas it would pretty much just be gibberish, even if you found a video of them. Ulysses voice is so damn good. So much character just in that alone.

First time i played Fallout 3 i was not into it and didn't understand why people were praising it. But i replayed some time after and i couldn't get enough of it. I loved 3 and 4. There's rumor of a television show. I hope they don't mess that one up too.

I feel the FO4 gives the best, full backstory of what lead to the 2077 mass nuclear war. Fo4 was released in 2015. FO1, FO2 and FO3 had different "War, War never changes..." speeches as their intros, but very similar in message. FO-NV was the one that diverged the most from that kind of intro. I also think the FO4 intro is a good one for people not familiar with the game to watch before watching the tv series.

there is a interesting mod/conversion called Tale of Two Wastelands that not only ports Fallout 3 over to the more advanced New Vegas engine with all the added bells and whistles that come with it but also allows you to take your character from FO3 when you finish the game and import them into NV. - Its nice way to linked the two games as FO3 ends with your character wandering off into the sunset and NV starts with your characters background unknown save for your job being a courtier.

New Vegas has an amazing intro

What an atmospheric trailer

When Fallout 4 released back in 2015 I had just turned 20 and thought the intro was pretty meh, but now that I'm 27 and been with my girlfriend for almost 6 years (we met in december 2016) we're thinking about marriage and maybe kids in the future, now the Fallout 4 intro hits different for sure!

I didn't play the other fallouts, I just played 4 and it seems like a great game to me.

Seeing the New Vegas intro gave me Vault 22 flashbacks, ugh.... Vault-Tech makes Nestle and Disney look like saints by comparison

We need all story screens and trailer to all DLS from Fallout New Vegas

Fallout new Vegas is still my favorite Love the faction in there NCR to Ceaser legion to the brotherhood of steel to the boomers and the followers of the apocalypse and mr house The dlc is great expandables on the lore with certain characters and places plus it kinda makes you think

Fall out 4’s Into mission Is my absolute favorite sequence in a game

oooo yay fallout reaction💕💕my personal fav.the stories are soo good

the fallout series always had such interesting world building, its Retro Futurism set in the post apocalypses. its an alternate world/timeline from ours, for example in our world the transistor was created, and that creation lead to a drastic change to technology, but in the fallout universe it was never created, hence why their technology "looks" primitive (or retro futuristic) even in the year 2077 and up. Vacuum tubes, oil and nuclear power are what mostly ran things in the fallout world, those being tv, radios, cars, robots etc. but eventually those supplies started running low and caused a major world war over resources, and that eventually lead to the great war where bombs hit almost every single place on earth. In between those events a company called Vault Tec was hired by the US gov to created vault shelters all across America, they were partially made for trying to profit off of war, and if the bombs did come they would at least have bunkers to hide to. However the creation of the vaults had a more dark purpose, the US gov wanted only the best of the best to rise from these shelters so they used the vaults to do inhumane social experiments on the vault residents, each experiment being different from each vault. but obviously their plans failed because everything is a radioactive ruin lol. but there were only a few vaults that weren't corrupt and are still thriving, such as vault 76 from the intro you reacted to. but yeah the fallout games have a lot of lore/back story that you can read/explore and ofc a main quest and tons side quests :) i recommend reacting to oxhorns fallout lore videos, one video being about a specific vault kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kJx6otyFrs7dnGw.html he goes waay in depth about all the fallout games

In the Fallout world history was the same as ours up til the end of WW2. We didn't really go for nuclear energy fully, only having a few power plants. In the Fallout universe they went all in on nuclear. They got very advanced in certain areas while others never left the 50s. The bombs dropped on October of 2077, instead of the Russian threat it was Chinese. There was a vicious war before this and tensions got to high

You guys need to watch the gameplay trailers for these.

“Super happy fun tiiiimes”

Fallout made Ron Pearlman my favorite actor.

I really hope one day i can end up with a wife like her!

For some insight: fallout 1-2 take place on the west coast, presumably in California as it’s in the ncr (new California republic). Fallout 3 takes place in Washington DC, fallout 4 takes place in Massachusetts, specifically Boston, and the greater Boston area, and fallout 76 takes place in West Virginia. Also since Bethesda acquired the fallout ip from interplay, that being 3-76. Each fallout game has some sort of dlc that allows you to travel to a different area. For instance, fallout 3 let’s you travel to Pittsburgh, and fallout 4 let’s you go to an island off the coast of Maine,

For a contrast consider watching the intro to Metal Gear Solid 4, the first line being "War...has changed" lol

Guess what: A NEW SUGGESTION! Add to your list, College Humor, a message from every CEO it features Brennan Lee Mulligan, who is by far one of the funniest guys ive seen and the CEO videos are absolutely hilarious

damn, no country roads for Fallout 76

This was in my recomended

guys, i said it before and ive said it again you need to get on the shoddycast (storyteller) to get in to the fallout lore, but it need to be its own series...

I recommend taking a look at the even OLDER Fallout game intros. 1 and 2 definitely. 3 to finish the set. There's a few spinoff titles but those 3 are main titles.

Fallout 3 and NV are god tier western RPGs so goddamn good The hours I put into em culminating around 3000-4000hrs

Who else got an ad right when Benny pulled the trigger of his gun? 5:14 perfect timing

Fallout taps on both the definitions of the word.. The nuclear kind, but also the fact that the past, and all it's faults, will likely linger, even after the bombs drop. When they dropped the bombs, despite the fact it destroyed a better world, that world was still riddled with sin and lies.. And those faults lead to our downfall... Because war? War never changes. . .

lol im actually playing all of these now

Should react to all fallout new Vegas dlc trailer. Made me mad with hype back then...

the best thing about fallout 4 is that intro the game has 2 possible protagonists the male protagonist is a veteran of the war for resources and the intro is a speech that he never manages to give because the atomic bombs fall first

I have been waiting for this. Very nice. Now I will wait for you to watch the s.p.e.c.i.a.l. videos of Fallout 4 XD The intro of Fallout 4 immediately gives me goosebumps. And every now and then I cry. The intro is fantastic.

I get the fallout new vegas love and it's an amazing game but I definitely felt much more impacted by the fallout 4 trailer.

You guys should check out the fallout vault lore videos by Wisefish. You can really get a sense of how evil vault tech is

New Vegas is simply THE best Fallout game of all time tbh. The characters were amazingly well-written and likeable, as well as the antagonists themselves were damn good written, the setting is good, ridiculous amounts of weapons to play, immense replay value due to multiple endings and factions to choose etc.

Fallout 4’s S.P.E.C.I.A.L cartoon videos are pretty funny to watch. I recommend them.

Have you seen the fallout in 5 minutes video, it's good and does put it in a nutshell without giving spoilers

New Vegas is up there with Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines in terms of refusing to die. Pretty sure you made someone replay this game again by posting this vid. 😆

Another thing that makes New Vegas special is that the starting town of Goodsprings isn't just a real place in Nevada, but one of the characters in the town, Easy Pete, is based on a real resident of the town. And for a bit of lore, the New California Republic, or NCR, is at this time effectively the only real nation-state on the planet, as far as anybody knows. It has a full government with legislative, judicial, and federal branches, it has citizens and some cities that have been so cleaned up and rebuilt that if you woke up from a coma in one of them you wouldn't even realize the world had ever ended, and is actively trying to bring back the use of coins and paper bills as money rather than the bottle caps used by most wastelanders.

"A strange game. The only winning move is not to play."

Fallout 4, is one of my favorite games thanks for watching the intros!

I absolutely love the fallout series!

love the video, you guys should check out the persona games they are a very fun different style of games.

Fallout, a top 5 game series all time for me. Fallout New Vegas is probably my favorite. Have played all a lot, but have most hours in 76.

13:00 at some point ofthe story those robo faces could become armyman faces Also, there are some robots that have a unique "faces" Aso, Iove how New Vegas starts with you being shot in a face. lotta faces in this comment >_>

New Vegas is til today one of my top 5 all-time best game.

The universe of Fallout is identical to our own right up until the end of WW2. After that it diverged. They main reason for all the clunky computers is the transistor was never invented or more accurately had just been invented just before the bombs dropped. So all the tech uses vacuum tubes which are bulkier but funny enough are more robust than modern electronics today.

By the way, did you know that a League of Legends Fighting Game is being made?

Hah! I said to react to the fallout intro. Hah! You obey me! Bow down to your lord!

Man, you should have done Fallout 3 too!

The newer fallout series 3 and above have been a big part of my life i've played it a lot and I can't say for sure that fallout 76 was because when my best friend got it for me as a birthday present I felt like I had to sell it and tell him I lost it to not hurt his feelings.

A good Fallout video to check out is history of the fallout world from alternate history hub

Man new vegas is the crown jewel of fallout games, everyone who plays fallout loves it and I’ve yet to find a fellow fallout player who’s favorite isn’t new vegas. 3 is really close, 4 is well… pretty dumb but boatloads of fun. :)

When the new apex stories from the outlands😭

In the games you find out that you were in one of the nice vaults out there, because there are some horrible vaults out there. Even in New Vegas were are not from a vault there are a few bad vaults. Just a happy and fun world. So have a great day and STAY SAFE.
