Whenever a new game is released by Bethesda in either FO or TES, the previous game is venerated and considered unrivalled. I remembered a lot of negative opinions about New Vegas... Up until FAllout 4 was released. It's just how it goes.

It's just obsidian fanboys who hate on fallout 3. It was literally GOTY and considered one if the greatest games ever released when it came out. No amount of trying to alter history will change this. Even to this day it has better user reviews than new vegas. Vocal minority and all that

@@jumbo9386 which is some of the largest bullshit i will ever withness, fallout 3 wasnt deserving of a single award

@@Helperbot-2000 uhuh. The game new vegas has its entire engine and gameplay designed around, with 90% of all assets being re used in a smaller world with less time required to complete it. You're not delusional at all bud.

@@jumbo9386 and yet theyre extremely different games, where fallout 3 is a dumbed down rpg with terrible shooting mechanics, completely idiotic and lacking a believeable world, retcons like hell, hardly any choice at all in the vast majority of anything you do, mostly just copy pasting things from fallout 1 and 2 despite beeing set a continent away showing their severe lack of creativity, a shit story so bad they made a character refuse to save the day and spare everyone for a completely bullshit reason despite doing that exact thing earlier in the story, extremely easy difficulty because they cant make actual good game design. New Vegas adds back traits, takes out all boring perks and put in ones that actually give you interresting new things your character can do, it manages to massively improve the shooting mechanics and gives more weapons and then allowes you to modify them to make them even better and more interresting, a world that actually makes sense, when each place is believeable, people heard brahmin and big horners and grow crops, the water from lake mead is showed as a valuable resource and many people talk about it, you can see how the places sustain themselves either visually of by asking certain characters, you can discover how someone is stealing water meant for NCR farmers, theres conflicts between communities over their local issues which make sense, the story is highly consistent with what came before, and youre shown the further development of the world and its people from fallout 1 and 2, the game adds new and interresting factions, like Caesars legion which on paper sounds completely ridiculous but not only fits perfectly into the game, but manage to make sense in the world and story, you can find out how it came to be, why its so sucessful, and while beeing extremely evil still manages to give legitimate criticism to the NCR amd democracy itself, MR. House and his securitron army gives a very real and legitimate alternative to the NCR and he makes the story so much more complex and interresting, the kings aswell seem like a stupid idea but are able to fit in perfectly, jacobstown shows how supermutants are harassed and discriminated against despite having equal rights in the NCR and having been in the masters army only since before the NCR even existed, they only want to coexist and live peacefully with everyone else, the brotherhood of steel is in hiding and you see their failure in evolving with the world around them and unwilling to change their ways, options from the moment you start the game and almost every quest has multiple ways to be solved and multiple outcomes, and while yes it is a smaller map, that doesnt mean much when it has MORE THAN 4 TIMES as many quests, the story is complex yet allowes you to kill any character and accounts for that, other skills are taken into consideration in dialogue which gives it more variation and makes more sense, the opening takes a few minutes before allowing you complete and utter freedom, by startimg with a shot to the head and a memory loss you can easily have the couriers actions make sense in the story and allowes you to give whatever backstory you desire with the only concrete thing beeing that he was a courier for some ammount of time, this is perfect for... well... an RPG, the game doesnt fuck around and imediately teaches you the world is hostile and dangerous if you try to go straight north to the strip, it provides real challenges while still allowing you to go anywhere, the hardcore mode gives you an in built higher difficuly mode for those who want a bigger challenge, you are given the keys to change the fate of the many places of the Mojave for better or worse with its numerous options. New Vegas is a masterpiece, and it was made in only 18 months, obsidian did in that time what bethesda couldnt do over many years

Yeah ikr, i was always not able to wait till after school to drink too much beer and accidentally wipe out towns in a drunken stupor

Was the first game i bought for ps3 along with dead space

@pl m miss those days

I remember being so terrified of the super duper mart

@@a.o.skurtt Awh dude, It was the feral ghouls for me!!

Best atmospheric Fallout game by far.

best fallout game minus all the other fallout games for sure

@@TheChillDeadpool you're apart of the few Karens that dont

@@TheBigdan217 that's a poor insalt it's kinda sad really

I loved these games. Is it a big or a feature? Usually both but it was still fun

So is 4.

100% agree with this comment

Interplay Fallout titles are impressive in many ways but ultimately i found them profoundly un-fun. the most i can say about them is "they were interesting". at no point in time was i ever like "yo, i'm havin' a blast!" slowly watching turn-based combat encounters unfold and listening to very contrived, impersonal sounding dialogue unfold before me

@@tanukisecondary3371 "Tactical" combat can still be fun: XCOM, Chrono Trigger, etc. i just found any element of strategy to the OG Fallout's gameplay superseded by the dread associated with partaking in it. slow, tiresome, little satisfaction involved. Bethesda's hitscan bullet-sponge gameplay was more accessible and enjoyable for me. i enjoyed firing the guns, the tactile nature of trying to hit shit, the sfx, sneaking around like a sniper, throwing grenades over walls, the audiovisual feedback from the VATS system was satisfying albeit stupid proof. i am a basic bitch. i cannot handle turn-based combat or puzzles. i cannot make it through a single Zelda game without losing my mind. i cannot understand how to progress in Deponia. i find the encounters in Dragon Age: Origins insufferable. there are many games that i will acknowledge are great... but simply not for me. and i eventually reconciled after failing over and over in Fallout 1, 2, and tactics that they just aren't my kind of game.

This game and many others of that time had great content, and lots of it... That's one critical game factor, that the modern "only PVP" player will never ever understand. We were blessed to have played games like this one 😉

No lies told here 🫡

They’re still around honestly I have had my PS 5 for only a couple months and I haven’t played pvp. Really at all been playing Elden ring, no man’s sky, cyberpunk 2077, and some PS4 games I missed out on. All single player long games with decent content.

wait 10 years without playing it and play it again.. it will feel like new. I just did the above myself and I couldn't believe how it felt like I was playing for the first time again. there's just too much content to remember it all after 10 years!

Private Sessions, Whitelight, PatricianTV, The Salt Factory, NeverKnowsBest ❤👍🏻

@@belhariry Hell no, Joseph Anderson sucks

You haven't played for 16 years, at most you have half a year

what, you stuck or something? tcl! tcl!

16 years ago I played it but I didn't touch it again until this year.

that's refreshing 2 hear. Tho MANY will disagree. NV may well be the better game, but I still like 3 more.

4 is the best one

@@Chuked elaborate?

@@wharfrat74 I don’t want to write multiple paragraphs

@@Chuked R U trying just 2 convince urself then??

F3 was my first fallout game too when I was 15. Wish I could back and play it all over again for the fist time and appreciate it even more.

@@denisdogan6076 Im waiting ten years before I play fallout 3 again I'm hoping it will make it fresh again!

@conartist j It didn't bother me when I was 15, still doesn't now, whether or not I'm the main character and my dad is, it's still a good game.

Me too!

Yup, i always got chill when i'm walking through the Mall and saw the Capital building and the Washington Monument, feel kinda sad tbh

4>NV&3 🤡

@@ByeByeLegacyCryHarder meh fallout 4 is amazing but you need new vegas and 3 to enjoy the quality of life changes of 4 plus 3 and new Vegas has the best legendary weapons for their time.

@@marcusphillips2078 settlement building + mods tops anything those games offer

New Vegas especially. The beginning 2 hours of fallout 3 is a slog, as much as I love the game 😅

There's a mod that easily skips it

@@thespacedisland5746 I started playing them again 😂. There's also a mod that merges Fallout 3 and New Vegas into one game. It's called Tale of Two Wastelands.

That’s not quite true. In fallout 1 you could choose to help the master, get dipped in FEV, and reveal the location of Vault 13 to him.

@@CephalopodsRock That's not really siding with him to get new quests, siding with him immediately ends the game.

​@@CephalopodsRock in Fallout 2 though you can't join the enclave csn you? :)

you're experience w sith the game sounds exactly like mine. I was older than you but had just come back to gaming after a long absense. Other than that I felt like you. Did you have to go into the ini settings to get it to work?

@@williamgregg6339 I had to tweak the ini (render distance, disable shadows, etc.) and also installed a few performance mods from the Nexus (Stutter Remover, 4GB patch etc.), it ran fairly well considering my laptop was really bad. Now I get to enjoy it on a proper PC (even tho it is outdated by now, GTX 1060) and @4k /w 60 FPS on my Xbox Series X. Playing F3 with 4K resolution and 60 FPS on my giant TV is a dream come true, my younger self would be proud of me haha

I wouldnt call F4 a disaster tbh, definitely no where near FNV or F3 but not bad in its own rights

Now I have to try and shoot the conveyor belt...but the fact that they bleed would've scared me if i did this when I first played it at a younger age xD

i was 9 when this came out and all i could do is watch game play videos at the public library . I caught up though and started with fallout 4 when it released.

Special Sauce needs no elaboration.

I agree completely

I remember back when the original DLCs released, everyone hated on The Pitt the most. I have to agree, it's mainly just a combat arena DLC. Definitely the worst of the 4 dlc's but still not horrible.

​@@CadgerChristmasLightShow I thought everyone agree that Mothership Zeta is the worst dlc

NV is a more "fallout 2 game", than a "fallout game". Look at it this way: fallout 3 is fallout 1, part 2. And NV is Fallout 2 part 2.

Heck, I go back to old games I never even played and I like them better...

I never found it to be a tough choice really, I killed them and took the rewards. But the Pitt was awesome and one of the best parts of the game, although it was very buggy.

@@mck7646how is it not a hard choice? The other guy would take over and is just on a power trip, but the slaves may get temporary freedom.

thank you Jing :)

We're not sure if Zimmerman is a Synth, the piece on him could be from another Synth he captured.

I accidentally played through that DLC by following a BoS team bcuz they looked cool and weren't trying to shoot me like everything else in the ruins. I didn't even realize it was a DLC at the time. 😂

Yeah 3 has the best map and atmosphere and it's not even close.

I never brought him the 3 keys and I went through and did the quest anyway. When I went to bed all to him he knew what I did. He was all pissed off so I wonked him.

Agreed. It's a great game with plenty to do and an interesting story. True the graphics weren't the best and some of the mechanics were a pain but not game breaking.

best mod ever

@@TheCapitalWanderer yes, it's very good!

definitely going to do NV and 4 in the future. I'm unsure when though.

NV desert sucked and the las vegas was small, bland and disappointing but it was older consoles so less memory and definitely the developers could have needed more time. Other than that NV is great.

@@alukea123 it's requirements to be on console limited it so much. The devs had huge plans but had to cut a ton of content. NV is my favorite but I see your points.

@@alukea123 Yeah i dont think the console requirement was the issue there, it was the firm deadline Bethesda put on Obsidian because they needed it to come out before Skyrim. Regardless, the speech options and quests have never been better than NV for the 3d Fallout games.

@@FiveFingerOutfit they were supposed to have 2 - 3 years development time, obsidian put themselves on that timeframe

Just get it on PC. Mods are a game changer. I've replayed it so many times... But nothing will beat those days where I stayed up all night just wandering around on my X360. Man, this is truly a gem.

@@Vaark - I spent all my time just walking around exploring. It never seemedto get old.
