he also forgot about the issues with the power armor helmet having material in it that was hazardous and had to ask people to return it so they can get a safer one. F76 was bethesdas worse nightmare

As someone that listened to my gut and waited for it to launch, seeing the spectacle of all this unfold on a weekly to bi-weekly basis was glorious

Played this with friends. Got to a point where I was just playing for the exploits/glitches. A group had a discord server setup where they were just giving away ammo/weapons/armor/schematics/etc. For free. It was a fun community because anything the organizers didn't have, you could donate for them to duplicate it to spread to the masses.

oh boy. watching the whole thing unfold in real time, back when the game first released, was quiet the experience. looking forward to your thoughts and opinions on this one. internet historian deliver an amazing video and i'm impressed that he managed to compound all of it into one video.

For nerf and cash shop. They nerfed durability of food, so it would spoil quickly, players complained. Next patch they said they heard playerbase and solved the problem. They added fridge that would increase it to prenerf durability, but you can only get it through cash shop.

This is why I'm going to give Starfield a year to bake after launch, before even considering buying it.

Remember watching this trainwreck unfold at the time. It was amazing how consistent they were at messing up. New issues popping up back to back. It was one of those rare uniting moments, where people universally joined hands... and just watched it all implode.

So cool you are watch more Internet Historian. 🙏 Some of his stuff is not exactly gaming based but still a must watch. "Man in a Hole" or some of his older convention videos are very entertaining and definitely worth checking out. 😊

It's things like this that make me glad I'm mainly a single player gamer.

Honestly i was just shocked by this whole Video i never thought Bethesda would stoop that low

With no man sky the devs said we aren't going down like this. They genuinely had a want to fix the game. They could have taken the money and run. But they didn't do that, they wanted to fix it.

Here’s my favorite part of the Nuca Cola Dark bit. If it cost them more to make an uglier, flimsier container, then why would they not just go glass? Nothing says an excuse is horse shit more than the claim of “we spent MORE on this.”

Yay you guys did it this one finally. Please do more internet historian he does other topics other than just games like actual historical even and it's very entertaining like The Cost of Concordia so yeah love your reactions guys do more jeje 😁

YES MORE INTERNET HISTORIAN VIDEOS PLEASE!!!! You guys are the best!!

Been waiting for this one. Once again awesome reactons !!🙌🙌

Yessss. More Internet Historian. He's an amazing content creator.

YES! I REMEMBER SUGGESTING THIS :D Thank you for doing your reaction ❤️

Aw man, I was following that flaming circus when it was happening at the time. Thanks for reminding me of this.

Yes ! More Internet Historian ! Let's go

I will say this. It is easier for a small company to retain its heart and morality than for a large corporation. That said, it doesn't excuse Bethesda's actions. I am so happy to see you guys return to Internet Historian. So many even greater stories left to be told there.

Yes! more internet historian!

Yeah i've also been waiting for this one, so crazy. I have lost a lot of faith in Bethesda as of late and I agree with the No Man's Sky optimism. I believe the Dev's at No Man's Sky truly wanted to make a great game, just got overwhelmed.

I love these two, so fun to watch!

I have been waiting for this one since the No Mans Sky video. Thank you!

Its still a fun game to play online especially with family and friends. Build together, level up together, do missions together. & The other players online are usually always friendly

Don't know which one I love, the no man's sky or 76 video, probably seen both of them dozens of times now from different reactors. Such good journeys

Lol I played Fallout 76 shortly after launch. I remember the t posing enemies and it made me laugh so much. The time was just so laughable.

Ah yes, a tale almost as good as: "The Engoodening of No Man's Sky," but less cheery 😂

love the reaction, keep up the good reactions

And people wonder why piracy of AAA games will never die. It's the obvious response to their own actions.

I love that Bethesda is just Godd Howard 😂

YES. I’m so glad you reacted to this.

When he said “ad time” at 12:28 I got an ad lmao

There were some other things too. There was a “Mr. Handy” robot that would clean your base and such. They admitted that they forgot to put it in the game when it was finished and that it was suppose to be a free thing for you to have, however they then said they would be putting it into the game that spring/summer but would now be charging players for it. They were asking players for suggestions on how to make the game more fun and some players had great ideas. They decided to create those ideas in the game…..but put them in the shop as well. They came out with the “Fallout First” which was to be a one year membership deal that would allow you to have your own worlds and customize how you liked. However there were tons of bugs where people lost their stuff and people were able to join private worlds, steal everything, and leave.

See the video: Ooooh boy I better get a drink for this one

Oh oh oh. One of the BIGGEST things was that a guy with some friends made a whole map of the game listing where to find stuff and put that out for other players. They then heard about a glitch that was ruin I guess the game for many players that someone was using to I believe kill their characters. So this guy and his team spent numerous hours trying to figure out exactly how this glitch worked and reported it to Bethesda telling all the information they had gathered. However, instead of thanking them for bringing a harmful glitch to their attention and instructing them how to fix it, they instead gave them PERMANENT BANS claiming they had “abused the glitch” by trying to figure out how it worked over hundreds of attempts. The guy that actually used it to harm others tho was given like a 1-3 day ban. The guy got so angry that he took down the map and refused to have anything to do with Bethesda.

It gets even crazier, as a year after Fallout 76's release, with very little change in its quality, Bethesda released Fallout 1st, a $100 subscription that basically gave people private lobbies, and Infinite camp storage (+cosmetics). So after everything that was in this video, Bethesda looked at it and said "I think our problem was we didn't rip off our players hard enough".

Incredible video as always, Bethany and ken. Never played this fallout, what a total disaster. Keep being phenomenal

no mans sky is the story of someone that didn't know two words, early access. FO76 is the story of how bethesda completly turned to vilanny.

I remember actually seeing those reviews before they were deleted. They didn’t pay anyone to make fake reviews, it was actually much much weirder. Instead they did dozens of reviews using character names from Fallout 4. Basically the reviews were “posted by” characters from Fallout 4 and used some lines from the games that their character used

The Bug where you run faster by looking down exists since Fallout 3.

Oh man this was such a fun era of reddit since I wasn't interested in the game and didn't get it. So I just got to get on reddit every day and see what the newest disaster was.

Hollywood sign at the background 😵😍

It is a sign of the times when the meteoric about a game is more fun to read than playing the game

IIRC, bethesda apparently forgot to paid for the falloutfirst website domain, which apparently was for a fallout first membership thing. Someone took it and vandalized it lmao

I remember someone reviewing this & he was showing his POV & his wife or girlfriend's(forgot who she was) POV. One had clear or cloudy skies while the other had rain, they were standing next to each other in game & you could clearly tell the difference only happened to one of them

Seeing stuff like this happen more and more is the main reason I've stepped away from the gameing sphere.

28:00-28:07 You just described the new industry standard.

Remember to react to why you wouldn't survive gears of war locust and lambant invasion also great reaction keep up the good work ❤

Even though it's not gaming related, I would really like to see you guys react to his Costa Concordia video

I really enjoy the game now. The events can be a tone of fun especially with friends.

TFS is doing a watch through of DBZA right now, and they used a little clip from one of your reactions a one of the examples of a reaction they enjoyed for a particular moment in the series; thought you guys might get a kick out of it. Can't link it year yet, because it's only been released on their patron so far.

Great timing, I actually started playing Fallout 76 the other day.

A former Bethesda dev was talking about how Todd got the nickname Seagull because he'd "fly" around shitting on everyone's work and ideas. Apparently no one wanted to work on FO76 so people were forced off their projects. It was originally a demo to show how they can get multiplayer to work on their engine, but since there was such a huge gap between FO4 and their next title (Starfield) Zenimax, their parent company back then, needed them to get something out that could make money in the meantime. So you had a game built on a janky tech demo, that no one wanted to work on, that was only made to milk money from players... so it really isn't surprising how it turned out.

My body is ready for Starfield 🤣🤣🤣

There should be a video called "THE METEORIC RISE OF DEFINITELY NOT DEFINITIVE, THE COUPLE WHO ABSOLUTELY FUGGIN TOTALLY 100 PERCENT ROCK!! 😊❤

Bethesda didn't create Vault-tec, but they aspire to be them.

I Remember it like it was yesterday

Please more Internet historian, thanks!

the music on the background is from Persona 5

The hilarious part is....Bethesda games always came out totally bugged and often were never even fixed. It was the fan community that patched the games into a playable state for Morrowind and Oblivion as well as Fallout 3. 76 wasnt unusual for being ultra bugged. it was just more visible cause there were no communtiy patches fixing it

IGN has a video on the fans who still play Fallout 76, its a inside story on fans who try to make the most of the game. I think you'd find it interesting

Yeah. Started playing in 2020 when I was stuck in for Covid and I was surprised to hear how intensely messed up it was at launch. Because the game I started playing was genuinely enjoyable to explore and the playerbase is honestly one of the more fun communities I've interacted with. With people going out of their way to help newbies and make sure everyone gets a shot at nice loot, and not caring if they have to carry a group event because a bunch of baby characters show up. Yeah some of the atomic shop prices are a little intense but they give away plenty for free from achievements and always have a big ongoing scoreboard where you get lots of cool stuff including atoms and new camp stuff that would usually be purchased for atoms. Honestly people who are still shit talking it today are either completely jaded by the launch or just have a thing for being complainy. I completely unironically would suggest it to others if they were going to start playing now.

Let's not forget that the Nuka Cola edition of the Power Armor helmet caused some people to get pretty damn ill because of fungus infection. Dunno what happened exactly, but my guess is that it was made from such cheap and shitty materials that it literally caught fungus and people who wore it got sick. If someone knows more, or has better info, be free to correct me, I dunno everything about this little tidbit myself.

This sort of thing almost exclusively seems to happen with big game companies, where there are either too many people making poorly-informed decisions, or because the company is simply managed by people who only measure the value of their products in how much money they make. It's so easy to vilify companies, but its important to remember that companies are run by *people* , and people, generally speaking, do NOT go out of their way to screw other people over, at least from their point of view. If your job is to market a game that you have no investment in whatsoever, aside from potentially wanting to keep your position in the company intact, why the hell should you care whether or not something is just "acceptable" , or "outstanding". Do you know the guys in the "game design" office personally? Does it reflect bad on you that the marketing ends up misleading, or actively malicious? You're just too anonymous and disposable in a big company. ... but *game developers* are some of the most freaking passionate, brilliantly amazing people you will ever meet, and they do not deserve all the shit they get to hear indirectly as a consequence of these little "shareholder theatrics" that certain companies tend to get up to. I guess what I'm trying to say is mainstream companies are like peacocks; trying to impress, appease and reassure their investors to invest more in them, which from the outside can sometimes look utterly ridiculous, such as with the current woke trends, which is really just companies catering to "ESG" ratings.

It's no Cyberpunk fiasco, but at least it prepared us for the idea a AAA studio could sell garbage and pretend nothing was wrong.

I was born in 89 and didn't invest in online gaming until I was 18 when Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare released in 2007. It was a few years of playing with school friends and online friends I met. I got the hardened edition of MW2 at launch in 2009 at a GameStop midnight launch with friends and a month later sold it to a friend that was at the launch with me. If I drank like I'm doing now. I'd give him the game. I didn't need the money at the time, but he bought it fast. I can't get back into online gaming and the bottom line doesn't matter when you invest in destroying the family that doesn't want to ascend. Haha

He missed out the best con Bethesda did pay an extra 100 dollars a year to play the game on a private server that wasn't private and it also steels your hard earned high level gear if you leave it in your personal storage space

The attitude towards gaming forever was we don't deserve basic consumer rights, it's time wasting etc. This was the moment a lot of people snapped out of it.

I was so glad that I actually GOT a refund on launch day. First got an auto-reply denying it, but I answered that with a mail saying that I had downloaded the files, but had never launched the game, and they accepted that.

Yay internet historian 🎉

"It Just Works"

I deleted the game literally and never looked back

what poed me about the atom shop was of course the prices, they could have lowered the prices to a reasonable amount, and people would have bought it. but nope they had to gouge the customer.

The crazier thing about the development of 76 was that it became clear - and I mean DAMN NEAR IN YOUR FACE - that Bethesda was taking assets from Fallout 4 into the this game. Pretty much everything from building structures and general textures; to weapons, clothes items, enemy NPC's, item textures, box textures. I mean fuck, they even brought back that HORRENDOUS skin textures for humans, which look like they had blood orange skinsuits.

Y'all gotta react to Internet Historian's "Cost of Concordia" and "Area 51" videos.

I'd definitely recommend the Engoodening of No Man's Sky after this one. They're basically two sides of the same coin, especially as far as the developers are concerned.

No man’s sky was an indie studio getting swept up by the hype machine. Fallout 76 was a AAA studio fueling the hype machine while knowing very well they won’t deliver on what they promised.

I’ve been there to witness the nuke server crash. Was pretty funny the first few times, then it got unbearable. So glad they saved the game, it truly is a rather unique experience.

It's insane that the videogame industry can STILL do this. Movies, music, television, books, every other possible product would get called out and put to justice. But you can false advertise and steal people's money when making videogames.

oh my god people its happening, oh god its happening, everyone to battle stations!

Please do Man in cave and cost of concordia from Internet Historian, it's a more serious type of video but still very funny. They are my favorite videos of Internet Historian along side the No Man Sky.

Welcome to the infinite Circus that is the Bethesda Game Studios. Grab a drink, lean back and enjoy, I think you'll like the show.

You should definitely react to his Cost of Concordia vid on Definitely not definitive

It's definitely a fun game to play with your drinking buddies

Heck yeah nore internet historian!

Fun fact in the game you can earn atoms for the shop but one of them is just a bad idea in general play the game for 7600 hours for only 80 atoms, with that amount of time put into it should net you a free years subscription to fallout first.

I recommend your this others videos from Internet Historian: The Cost of Concordia Tales from theVarus The Cave

Marketing... marketing never changes...

As a huge fallout fan.. we don’t talk about this game lol

He left out the $100 subscription service they later put out.

19:14 Me when my fav duo upload another Fallout vid!!

idk how any company can be this open about how scummie they are and can ever be trusted again

"WarCraft 3 Reforged - The Worst Remaster Ever Made" Next? 🥺🥺🥺

Just to let everyone know this video they reacted to is 3 yrs old and ever since then 76 has gotten better and better.

This is a blueprint for how to never launch and market a game. It is almost like someone high up in the company was trying to drive the stock price of Bethesda tank by deliberately doing everything wrong.

Ha, so good :-) now "Costa Concordia" and "the swedish job" Videos from Internet Historian :-P but theyre not about Games, dont know if you guys react to non gaming stuff, but man, those 2 are worth it too ! Greetings from Germany

Even if they update it into a serviceable game. I would never give my money to crooks who disdain my time and presence. A very different feeling compared to No Man’s Sky.

Fallout 76 isn't that bad now, they haven't abandoned it yet and they keep adding big updates with new content and activities for free. The player base is stable and there is a good amount of players. There are still bugs but none of them are game-breaking and the game is improved tremendously.

It was the Failure of a gigantic AAA Company that was lying about their "mistakes" Not to mention the always online and 0 NPC idiocy.
