Fuck Bethesda...

Whilst I do not wish to cause aspersions or offence to anybody living within the new world (eg. USA), considering that Todd Howard is an American citizen, living in a climate where a imperialistic neo-conservitive mentality is quite common, it does not surprise me that Howard considers that "violence is funny". I have to wonder if Todd Howard is a Hillary Clinton supporter.

Possibly, what sort of message does this send out to impressionable young people?

Mark Edworthy well it wouldn't matter anyway, Bethesda aren't all that good at bringing in real moral choices. To them the enclave are the baddies and the (Lyons)brotherhood are the good guys, it's very black and white...there are no grey areas.

+Mark Edworthy That's no excuse. Tim Cain is part of the same climate, and yet he satirizes the climate and the nature of it instead of staying in line with the stereotype, unlike Todd Howard. Like I said, fuck Bethesda... They don't know what they're doing.

It's spelled "pathetic"

stop playing their games then. I love games that give me freedom to do anything and unlike other companies, they give you free reign to make your own shit, via the easy construction set. Yes yes, we shouldn't need mods. I didn't need mods. Again, buy a different game. Don't play this. I finished Skyrim before any mods came out. Didn't even care. The game was so good, my non-English speaker father, was sitting behind me for 2-4 hours watching me play (lol, original Twitch).

+Cioby Am înțeles, să trăiți! :))

Have you ever heard of CD Projekt RED? You know...the guys who made the Witcher series and give you mod tools for their games. Or how about Rockstar who let you mod GTA and also give you mod tools? Guess not...

Gaming Cu Vlad | GaminGHD.ro have you seen Witcher mods? Have you seen how poorly made some of them are? Bethesda gives you easy tools and a lot of freedom, even without mods. That's why I love them so much, I frankly never cared very very very much about the story, until I actually do it. I went to Kvatch in Oblivion when I was like lvl 25 and got my ass kicked from high level daedra. I did Morrowind's main quest after lvl 60+ even though I did many other quests. CD Project RED is way too overrated by fanboys like you, and I'm saying this as someone that played Witcher 1 and 2 several times, way before you even heard of it.

na, its more like fixing a broken leg by cutting off the broken leg and replacing it with a far better leg. unless you grabbed a bad leg, then you're fucked.

Thekilleroftanks No, because you can't really fix the leg by cutting it off in fo4s case. Too much of it is broken and would require reworking that mods couldn't do. You can't fix the leg if the bodies also damaged beyond repair.

do you think Bethesda rushed Fallout 4?

"more better" /sigh

FNV with mods: having a wife who loves you and getting all dolled up for some really kinky sex. F4 with mods: morphine shot to comfort you as you lay dying.

If you want you can play this as a mad max inspired fps. It would explain the shoot first ask questions later approach this game takes. It would also explain why the speech and dialogue system sucks. At best its an expansion of the game by id software called Rage. Without the awesome dune buggy or the great game engine.

True except the game world isn't giant

MrZurata So much disrespect for a classic and the braindead mindless dipshit poser gamers (you say normies) that Bethesda os pnadering to! Not to mention all the retconning of over 10yrs of already "established" lore, in this game.... Here is a list of just a few some i find to be major and down right obligatory and shows disrespect for the very franchise's foundation as a whole: The timing of the bombing in F4 seems different than the other games. Vertibirds were supposed to be quite rare and prototypes only during the Pre-War period but they're seen in Boston in the intro. Hovering vertibird just prior to nuclear attack (Established that Vertibirds were not brought into service until after the Great War) Assaultrons are Pre-War synths that don't mesh at all with the level of robotics that period seemed to have. T-60 Power Armor existing and being used Pre-War The Power Armor the Enclave has been using on all its troops for decades (APA) has been reclassified as an experimental design (X-01) The first Fallout games say the reactors in Power Armor have energy to last a hundred years, which doesn't mesh with the reactor cells here. Someone from the BoS said potatoes were extinct (this one hit me the hardest) Mr. Handy's have full AI, whereas in previous games they had simulated personality routines. Super Mutants and FEV is everywhere (this trend started with Fallout 3 though, F4 continues it) SPECIAL ratings of 1 are considered average now. F4 suggests a permanent presence on the moon, including a battle over the Sea of Tranquility, but previous Fallout games said the last manned mission to the moon was in 2052. A Few More Continuity Errors: Vault-Tec still vending vaults prior to attack (established that they were already sold out previously) Warning of nuclear attack (The POTUS in Fallout 2, mentions that the Chinese launched first and there was no warning on the East Coast) Light Armored Vehicle seen in the neighborhood( Clashes with Bethesda's own established retro-50's stylings)

except f3 and new vegas did that part better anyway

deminted4ever The lack of weapons is terrible as well the game has a Lack of them and most guns have more damage attachments and buffs rather then interesting ones. mods had to add weapons that are at least useful or real ones. F3 and Fallout NV, both have better weapons then this and have better punch.

Playing it is mostly boring as hell, but outright torturous at times. Talking about how crap it is, on the other hand, is rather cathartic.

+DWTerminator its definitely boring, not immersive at all for smh.

Ehhhh, I had a pretty good time with it tbh, definitely not as good as New Vegas, or 2, but I had a ton of fun playing it

@@DWTerminator Disagree. It pisses me off

And this is true of 76, and then Starfield... I hope V.I is at least mid, and not insultingly bad

***** but it does. there are a majority who thinks skyrim is a masterpiece

+Donald Drumpf skyrim is probably my favourite game of all time at this stage, sure maybe I'm a filthy casual but it delivered in every way I wanted it to, it has a large interesting world, fun if not massively complex rpg mechanics, and a dumb fun fantasy story with some cool battles

+sylvesterstallon3 "massively complex rpg mechanics" i have no words for that bullshit xD haha

+DukeoftheAges I said if not massively complex aka saying they are not massively complex do you understand how language works?

+sylvesterstallon3 That isn't correct though. lol

Cue dramatic music as you search desperately for a charging cable.

lmao

+TheSpacedIsland845 SWEATSTINY

This is why i subbed to this channel

How about Mr caption f4 video?

Bethesda post Morrowind, anyway.

Even Morrowind, as much as I love it (and I do love it, it's probably the single game that isn't World of Warcraft that I have the most played hours in), was flawed in a lot of it's execution. The UI was bad, some of the gameplay mechanics were clunky, and the graphics were not particularly good even for the time. Bethesda has always struggled with executing good ideas, they've just gotten even worse at it in their recent releases. They also used to have a decent writing staff and no longer do, which compounds the problem. I'm willing to accept a lot of clunky gameplay if it's attached to fantastic writing but Bethesda's games now have the worst of both worlds.

DWTerminator post oblivion*

That applies to some companies too

If your wondering where mr.caption went he made a new channel called caption

Yep now we have fallout 76

@Bboy Arctic generation? What does the director and producers of the game that made it the way it is have to do with newer generations?

It does.

Neither did 3 and 76

Ok

But now they claim Cyberpunk 2077 to be buggy shallow mess

The settlements shouldn't even be in the game no unique stories or towns and resources for settlements is critical for one factions ending and it's boring on top on it. Mods can only do so much to fix Fallout 4 the mods are the only reason to play Fallout 4 otherwise the game is boring.

Or anger

+Leo Brown Who wouldn't lol Fallout 4 was insulting.

+Ulmy Catalion Having nothing else ta do with your life is not dedication.

thaUglyCupcake If you don't like reviews, don't watch them.

+Ulmy Catalion Can't know if ya like or dislike till ya watch. Also my comment was not about like or dislike.

gogolplex74 1/10. F0/76 1/1000

If DW reviewed Fallout 76 this year, he would've given that abomination a 0.5/5.

I Bethesda outbid the old developers of fallout, I forgot what's the studio is called.

+Dark Nyx Black Isle Studios my friend :)

They outbid Troika Games, not Black Isle.

It *is* objectively a bad game. The hats and such saw to that.

+DWTerminator I hope this a joke, because there ain't no such as an objectively bad game.

+Zelousmarineinspace yeah. the vanilla game should at least be playable...lol

And more entertaining that some movies.

well said

I'm not sure if that's a good or bad thing.

+DWTerminator good for you, for good content, bad for him because he just lost 2 hours worth of sleep.

+Armored Gamer it was worth every second

+Dominik Sobolewski yep

Is 2 hours of repetitive rage really worth?

That's passion right there.

+Vena Retro yes

General Grievous i know right? I come back every few weeks just for the comments

IT just gets 16 times worst after the TV show

Ever heard of shortcut to Navarro?

Well he got to all of his points didn't he?

But why not just talk about it right then and there? :D

Maybe it tied in with a category/subject matter he wanted to elaborate on later in the video.

Yes, it's a well-structured review and not a rant.

(or leave your game in such a bad barely playable state just so you can make a quick buck and leave your game to the modders so they can fix your game for you)

Nah. More like... Modern-day Bethesda: *exists* Me: All hope is lost.

DWTerminator bethesda: FALLOUT IS A SHOOTER WITH GENERIC FACTIONS ISNT IT?

Bethesda needs to die already.

Deus Ex isn't getting worse though. Human Revolution was awesome, and i'm sure Mankind Divided will be too.

Arkanjo Teixeira Human revolution was good I will say that

We'll have to see how Mankind Divided is, but Human Revolution was by no means a "senseless" action game. It had its problems (boss fights in particular) but it was definitely true to the original in feel and themes, just with more modern controls and much better FPS mechanics. That's definitely what I get from Fallout as well, though I'm more lenient with perspective and mechanics. New Vegas proved that you can take that old-school Fallout feel and actually make it work with the miserable failure of an engine and mechanics Bethesda established in FO3. Bethesda just doesn't care as long as it sells ludicrous amounts of copies. All they care about is brand recognition.

+JayFragz Well i wouldn't blame consoles for dumbing down of games, people just tend to use it as a scapegoat. Remember, Morrowind was on Xbox and original Deus Ex was on PS2 with some changes made because of limitations of PS2 hardware. And i wouldn't call new Deus Ex Human Revolution senseless. Besides the horrible boss fights, pretty much all action can be avoided with either stealth or persuasion, just like in the original.

Sir_Sanity New Vegas was the only modern verison one that did it right that way.. fuck 3 and 4 though.. i still play 1 and 2

Its because "FEV iS moRE oUt ThErE sO ItS uNsTaBlE aNd MaKeS SuPeR MuTaNtS mOrE dUMb, MmMkAy." According to the shill lore editors.

The game requires a ground-up redesign to be even remotely acceptable.

DWTerminator True.

Jusey1 That philosophy of game design is what's killing the RPG genre. You cannot deny that the main storyline railroads you into being a good guy more than letting you be straight up evil (no, random murders aren't that evil, neither is making someone OD). You're the father/mother of a son (not daughter) named Shaun (nothing else), so you're obligated to be a saint, and it shows in the lack of truly evil scenarios. It's poorly written and lacks the nuanced sequences that made the classics pieces of art. New Vegas was perfect. You were made a courier who was shot in the head for the package you were carrying. That's it. A minimal backstory that allowed you to envision a multitude of characters, without "I'm a vet/lawyer overtones." "Bore them with talking, choices, etc.?" It's disgusting that people think that way. The nuanced, engaging, detailed, and well-thought-out dialogue and questlines is what makes the games continue to stand out. Furthermore, the beginning of the classic Fallout games and New Vegas were incredibly short - it was Fallout 3 that had the long intro. Also, don't tell me that telling a robot that you drink or that you heard of a radio station is meaningful character development. To say it is is masturbatory at best. You're just fundamentally wrong.

Jusey1 You seem to be on Bethesda's jock a lot. If you payed attention to what I said, I said that the Classics and New Vegas had very brief intros, with Fallout 3 and 4 having the longest intros. Furthermore, I never said that there had to be "good" and "bad" options. In fact, Fallout has a really good example of a complicated issue. In Junktown, you meet the Sheriff/Shopkeeper, but shortly after an assassin sent by the local casino owner Gizmo comes in. He is of course killed, and you are given a job by the Sheriff to plant bugs in Gizmo's office to catch him admitting his plan. The Sheriff knows Gizmo is a bad guy who only does bad things, however upon meeting him in his office you find out his plans for the city - which would benefit it in the long run. You have a choice: help the good sheriff and bring peace to the city, or help a shady casino boss and bring future prosperity to the city. The choice is obvious based on your personal beliefs. Fallout 4 lacks the brilliant social commentary that existed in the classics, and only succeeds in being a mindless shoot-and-loot Borderlands-esque game. And I do not see how I misunderstood what you said.

Magic Hitler- You serious, they just fucking call it new orleans, that sounds like some terrible game jolt fangame.

FYI the team that did NV arw not at Obsidian anymore and the fucks over at Bethesda will probably never give it up again

That Guy New Orleans is not a thing.. Obsidian is never doing another FALLOUT but those guys are not at Obsidian anymore either.. just fyi

Glad you liked it.

Legacy that was created by bandwagons like yourself.

I dunno...now that No Man's Sky's out, I think that title might have been usurped...

+John Riley Bandwagon? What the fuck are you on about?

+Señor Snout That has zero legacy. It's an entirely new IP.

Adam Smasher Legacy, no. Potential? Absolutely. And let's be honest. Fallout 1 and 2 weren't exactly a 'legacy'. They weren't particularly well-known before 3, and they didn't really do much to change the playing field outside of being pretty well-written. 3 was a bit of a hollow mess that seemed pretty divisive outside of its popularity, so the only one that had any sort of actual 'legacy' might have been NV.

The FPS mechanics aren't "good." They're middle of the road.

+LuvMeOrh8me2 I really didn't think new vegas looked good until I played it. Fallout 3 and 4 are great games but NV is a great fallout game.

Fallput 4 isn't that bad...

From what I've seen it can really depend from person to person. Some people got lucky and others don't. I played Skyrim on xbox 360 and it was a buggy mess. Had to save scum just to get the quests working right. The thieves guild quest just refused to work halfway through no matter what I did. Items constantly refused being interacted with (talking, opening chests, etc). Quest marker frequently went to hell. Sure it never crashed but there were soo many big and small moments that build up to show how buggy the game was. I don't think it's the unplayable mess that some people make bethesda games seem to be. After all did sink hundreds of hours into skyrim and it ran fine for the majority of the time. I do see why people complain about the bugs and glitches tho.

Of course you're defending them, you're on console. Fallout 4 was made for consoles and I don't mean that as an insult, it's the truth.

Developers are kinda supposed to do this little thing called optimization. Oh, but I guess Bethesda doesn't have to be treated with the same standards of literally everything else cause they're a special snowflake

Glad people are finally acknowledging it.

ya and that 28% was like 110+ people. Still a significant number.

Glad I can be of service.

And guess what happened? Lmao. History repeats itself, thank you for using your brain.

Play sonic the hedgehog 2006, now THAT'S the worst

Sonic '06 is a travesty but there are worse games. Shadow the Hedgehog Sonic and the Black Knight Sonic R (interesting at the time, but not good) Sonic Free Riders (oh god...) Sonic Labyrinth (one of the worst games I ever played) Sonic Shuffle. Actually a few of the "bad" or "meh" games in the franchise aren't all that bad. Sonic '06 has some redeeming features and does some things better than the beloved adventure games. That said, Sonic '06 is probably better than Fallout 4 in terms of whether or not they betray the fanbase.

and shooting should be the last important thing in a fallout game #priorities

Lunova they probably didn't even start it until 2013

Sure you play games to get emotional. You want to laugh, feel good about yourself, and so on. You just don't play games for sappy, cringe-inducing melodrama like what FO4 presents. I imagine if a good enough game came around that actually goes for emotion then you'd probably be able to enjoy it. It's pretty rare that we see one of those though.

We got x moves, then they got removed. We got mega stone, I hear they got removed. Now we have dynamaxing... No one smart asked for pokemon go. raids

Glad you liked the review! Also, a word of warning about Fallout 1 & 2: as great as they are, they're still old RPG's that are very difficult to pick up and play for a newbie. You'll have to be patient with them and save often.

To think a thing like subjectivity might exist, the mind boggles

I have been waiting for your comment, even though I am 3 weeks late. We all knew he would do it. Now we gotta wait for Elder Scrolls 6 Review in 2018 XD

dathip lol

+Noble “Dedicated Dark” Alfred Obsidian will never get another chance at fallout. Witcher 3 is a dead world. There is not a single interactive object on the screen . Sure you can loot plants {which immediately respawn when you walk more then 10 feet away) and the odd chest and maybe some random loot on monsters but you cannot pickup hardly anything else and none of it is acted on by the physics engine. Witcher 3 is like that really pretty girl that once you strike up a conversation with you realize there is nothing going on between the ears.

James T Was only talking about the writing quality when I mentioned Witcher. What Bethesda created truly no one has yet to replicate. The problem is every new game of theirs is a massive drop in quality each time. And their game design and world building is for extremely lazy people, their games have no consistency and their design is effortless and therefore garbage. The greatest game they ever created was morrowind, and nothing after was ever the same quality and its no wonder cause most of the morrowind team quit right after. And obsidian not getting another fallout is too bad, bethesda don't give a shit about fallout or even their own elder scrolls for that matter, they just view their games as products to make money. Atleast CDProjekt RED thinks of the stuff they make as something more than just a product, there is consistency in the world they build. The interactivity comes with creation engine, it stayed cause they are lazy, we will see when/if they change their engine whether their games will ever be worth playing. I think that engine will be put to better use at the hands of a better team. Currently Bethesda is an incompetent disappointment. Argh!, I tend to ramble, sorry about that.

Actually everything that Bethesda writes is internally consistent. As far as not being consistent between games of the same franchise well Interplay and Obsidian play that game as well. Take a look at the things that are changed between Fallout 1 and Fallout 2 and into Fallout New Vegas. As for changing the engine Bethesda is constantly changing their engine for each new game. You can obfuscate the truth by telling me it is just an "upgraded" version but then if that is the case then almost all current engines are just "upgraded versions" of their original. Very few really new engines are created from the ground up because they are expensive and there is no need to do so. Even Witcher 3. Where do you think the 3 in Red Engine 3 comes from?.

James T Fallout 1,2 and New Vegas there were changes but there was also an explanation given to why those changes within the game, they meticulously tried to keep the consistency, the minor inconsistencies can be ignored. The changes in the Elder Scrolls are all simply explained away by: www.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Dragon_Break But the problem is the games contradicts itself, skyrim is mess of contradictions and paradoxes. Then there are impacts of each quest, well can we call them impact when absolutely nothing changes. Bethesda is lazy. Most dev teams change their engine once in few years, bethesda has been using the same engine for over a decade. Well, your 1st statement says I shouldn't even bother arguing anymore. Skyrim is not internally consistent. I don't know how or where that statement comes from. I really can't argue with such an obviously ignorant statement. I am sorry, but don't think I am capable of having a civil discussion when I hear statements like that.

And if you play fallout 3 and 4 they actual do have reasons for everything. You just need to read the terminals and pay attention to what is said. Skyrim works the same way. You obviously either did not pay attention or just willfully decided to not care. And anytime you deal with time travel their will always be paradoxes - probably Skyrim's only real sin.

Performance issues are going to ultimately depend on your setup and how much the game likes it. That you managed not to have too many issues with it means you got lucky in that regard. Switching my brain off is something I am *completely* incapable of doing in Fallout. The entire series is supposed to be cerebral with the exceptions of FO3, FO4, and Brotherhood of Steel. And go figure, the ones that require you to shut your brain off entirely to get anything at all out of are the ones that all suck. I will give you this though: it's *definitely* playable. Awful, but playable.

DWTerminator I'm surprised you had so many fusion cores too, I found them quite hard to come by. I didn't actively search them out though.

+Gggmanlives This game sucks though. It's not even fun as an open world shooter like Borderlands and Far Cry.

They were pretty much growing on trees from what I found.

"I think you need to switch your brain off when playing this game..." Holy crap. I can't imagine having your brain turned off for 100+ hrs.

Denying reality only makes that reality worse.

Disagree. She sounded weak and oftentimes whiny compared to the male voice actor imo.

There's nothing "distant" about the engine being based on Gamebryo. It's basically just Gamebryo with a few more modern rendering systems and effects thrown in.

You were a hell of a lot more generous then me.I gave it a 1 out of 10.An as for your Skyrim experience.I am pretty sure you need to clear your Saved games folder.Some programs change the save games and the files within it.So delete that an try again.

DWTerminator Lol nah. That's like saying Call Of Duty uses the Quake 2 engine just because they currently use a very heavily modified version. For the Skyrim version of the Creation engine, they overhauled almost every aspect. For Fallout 4 they barely improved it though

Actually your argument is completely invalid. Call of Duty uses the Quake 3 engine and the IW engine is just that with additional rendering capabilities and physics. That's pretty much what Creation is. Gamebryo with more advanced rendering capabilities. Which also explains why it's so ludicrously unstable and generally runs like crap.

DWTerminator But Quake 3 is an upgraded version of the id 2 engine so that wouldn't make my argument any less valid. Play Quake 2, then play Call of Duty, DOOM, or Rage. They're completely different engines, just loosly based off the same thing.

Ryan Loveless More like Bethesda fanboys. A lot of the defenders of this game only seem like 3 and 4... hmm

I mean it is a good game, just not a good fallout game. I particular like people who complain about it while putting hundreds of hours into it

You find it only in pre-war facilities and there's no explicit mention of it being post-war.

In the X-01 loading screen it explicitly says post war power armor. Unless there's another piece of in game information about X-01 I will take it as a hard fact

So let's see here... X01 is clearly Enclave power armor. The Great War was 2077. The loading screen neglects to mention something important: Bethesda retconned it in (*extremely* poorly) as a pre-war thing as of Fallout Shelter just so they could stick it in Fallout 4 without setting the game on the West Coast. Fallout 2 *explicitly* states the Enclave *started* development of this advanced power armor in 2198. It isn't until 2220 that the armor became viable. I actually don't know what's more insulting... that they retconned it in... or that they retconned it in starting with a f---ing garbage mobile game.

Wait in shelter.......fucking hell man. Both, they Both are insulting in their own ways. But why does the loading screen say it's post war?

I'm almost certain they stuck that in there just to confirm that it's Enclave power armor and thus piss off the longtime Fallout fans. That, or they're so incompetent they can't even stay consistent with their own bullshit.

It's amazing their AI is still that bad even after all these years.

The Fallout Bible which has pdf files for it online, is the lore for the first two Fallout Games in Encyclopedia format. It doesn’t apply for lore after Fallout 2 due to the retcons
