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!
Straight-up one of the greatest games ever made. Not only does it have a fascinating setting and deep moral choices, but even the gameplay is genius. They finally cracked the code on how to use skills in dialogue and in events, as well as being able to tie the entire map together with quests and map design such that its impossible to miss the cool locations and the good quests.
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.
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.
@@denisclen3006 What do you mean? Nuclear energy is the only true and proper green power source. Most of the green's complaints about CO2 would vanish if nuclear power was more widespread. It would actually make electric vehicles easier to power rather than the current charging systems running off diesel generators or from coal based power grids.
@@Sujad Going political in a light-entertainment youtube video? Well, fear not. We do not need to listen to strangers on the internet. Hundreds of international scientists have already looked at what is the best green power source, and behold the big surprise, nuclear energy was not the answer. However, feel free to dismiss the IPCC report. What does scientists know anyway?
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.
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.
And add to that, his defenses were actually incomplete at the time they were deployed. He knew the war was coming for years ahead of time, and had been planning right down to the wire when assembling those defenses. The only reason they weren't complete was that his doomsday calculation was off... by a single day. Still, when 77 nukes target Las Vegas and the surrounding areas, and your incomplete defenses manage to deal with 68 of them, that is still a big achievement. Even though the remaining 9 got through, those ones hit the surrounding areas instead.
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames Matthew Perry is a gamer and fell in love with Fallout 3. He even gave Ellen a copy of it on her show, it was him praising their game on her show that got Bethesda's attention.
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.
1. Todd Howard regularly mentions how much he loves New Vegas, he even did an AMA and mentioned it. 2. Chris Avellone (the ex-studio head of Obsidian) and Josh Sawyer(Director of NV) have regularly mentioned that they loved working with Bethesda, Chris Avellone even actively denies on his twitter that the "bad blood" between Bethesda and Obsidian is completely made up by toxic randos. 3. Obsidian didn't have to do absolutely anything related to creating textures etc for NV as they took assets from Fallout 3 so 18 months was enough time for just creating story and copy pasting premade assets(as Chris Avellone have confirmed) Also the bonus was brought up by Bethesda themselves Obsidian Never asked for a bonus.
for as much praise fallout NV gets, for me it was actually a bad game in terms of the amount of minor and major game breaking bugs. from duping caps to straight falling through the world, NV was a very bad experience for me. I didn't like the added survival stats which for me seemed unnecessary. staying within the RPG genre, sure you can stretch that NV is a masterpiece but with games like the god of war series and TLOU, well i think those games shine much brighter.
@@raypalmer5125 Yeah no. Almost every texture in New Vegas was new except the dirt. All the plants, all the animals, all the humans and mutant, all the clothes and equipment, the entire categories of throwing and explosive weapons, everything was new. And that's before the DLC's. You can tell this because Fallout 3 didn't have anything that wasn't gray or brown. Not to mention being forced to use the same, buggy old engine bethesda had been using for 15 years by that point, that they somehow got working better than Bethesda did in just a year and a half. And Bethesda, the people who have resold you Fallout 3, 12 times, and resold Skyrim 40 times, has refused to ever rerelease New Vegas. Sure buddy, they don't hate it. Yes the studio head and the director had a good experience with Bethesda. Not the artists, writers, programmers, and everyone else that actually made the game. They hate Bethesda. And they're bound by NDA's, it's literally illegal for them to speak ill about the people who pay them. You can't trust what ANYONE says in a corporate setting.
"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.
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
This joke was done to death back at the time, i can't not to repeat it Fallout 1: Chosen to save vault Fallout 2: Chosen to save Arroyo Fallout 3: Chosen to bring water back (kinda) Fallout NV: Angry mailman.
Other hand, getting shot in the head comes in really handy in the Old World Blues DLC; it's the reason why you get to keep a connection to your brain after the autodoc is done with you (every other subject became a Lobotomite).
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
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.
The bear having 2 heads is supposed to be more symbolic than realistic, it's supposed to represent the values that it supposedly upholds while also representing its status and purpose in the new world. They basically did what the Caesar did with his Legion and used an "Old World" symbol and altered it to fit the "New World" agenda that currently drives it forward in the present.
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.”
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. :)
Remastering classic games seems like an easy money maker and actually beneficial as well. Instead of remaking movies which almost never works. Sometimes remakes of songs can work. But basically we’d love to play a remake/master of Fallout New Vegas 😀
It feels the least Fallout because it is located on the territories basically in post-post apocalypse era. There are already rebuilt towns and societies. Which is fine if it is made not too aggressively.
That's the _official_ story. I still maintain that it was an experiment - their whole "the best and the brightest" mantra meant that maintenance scutwork was being performed by highly-educated engineers and physicists. There are some personnel notes on the terminals as you leave the Vault; my personal favorite is the complaint from the CIT engineer with three graduate degrees who was upset he was passed over for promotion from soda jerk to maintenance tech. I believe the point of the experiment was to see if these people, traditionally strong-ego and self-important, could work together to do the crap work necessary to survive.
@@DeaconBlues117 I believe there was no experiments but the assignment was to build the ground for future colonizations and controlling the nuclear arsenal, that's why they emerged to the surface just one generation after the nuclear blast
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.
October 23rd, actually. Which is funny because that's the same date Bishop Ussher gave for Creation back in the 1600s - he maintained that the universe was created on October 23, 4004 BC.
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.
For real, some of the experiments and situations in the Vaults were pretty interesting and made for cool places to explore...but most of that stuff is almost Umbrella Corporation levels of psychotic or sadistic. I dunno who headed up VaultTec's research department, but the dude had to have been a whackadoodle.
@@ericmartin8870 They were done because Vault Tec and the US government always intended to build starships and abandon Earth. The nukes just came too fast for them to complete their plants. The Vaults were intended to test how humans on an isolated spaceship would react and develop. So they deliberately stress-tested them to see how to avoid mutinies or madness among the future ship crew.
@@aregulargamer1 Ah that makes sense. Still, their Board of Ethics was slacking off pretty hard to allow some of the crap they set up in those Vaults lol. There's stress-testing and there's mad-science cruelty lol...some of those experiments skirted that line or flat-out left it in the dust lol.
@@ericmartin8870 Yeah, pre-war US government was pretty fucking evil. The Brotherhood of Steel was founded by US soldiers who discovered human experiments being done on their army base to turn people into super mutants. They led a revolt, executed the scientists, and took over the base. Just as they were waiting for the Army to come after them; the bombs fell.
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
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 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 :)
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.
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.
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.
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".
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.
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!
That makes sense. Fallout 4 is my favorite (and I played every FO game since the original)- and when it was released, I had been married for a decade and had 2 kids. I love emotional things, and that one is obviously the most meaningful for me.
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
Some parts of the lore hint that it was the Chinese who started it (the records at the Switchboard in 4, for example), while others hint the US struck first, and some suggest it might have even been Vault-Tec eager to test their vaults. There's even a set of records at the Whitespring in 76 that imply it was the work of the same rogue Enclave agent who engineered the Scorchbeasts and unleashed the Scorched Plague in order to make the DEFCON level high enough that he could launch missiles from the three silos in West Virginia (sadly for him, the computer took exception to his plans and killed everyone in the bunker) - he had received an email from someone who was convinced they were all locked in a simulation, and could only escape by destroying a small city in "what we perceive to be southern China". He requested permission from his Enclave superiors, but was denied - and just before the War, he executed everyone in the bunker who disagreed with his plans, and "lost contact" with the east coast Enclave HQ at Raven Rock.
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
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 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.
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.
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.
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,
In fact, in Fallout 1 you get the ball rolling that will lead to the founding of the NCR. And you get to visit part of the Pitt in 76, with the new Expeditions; the Responders have a vertibird they've recovered, and doing favors for them around the Whitespring will get you the power cells you need to take a quick trip to Pittsburgh to try to help the Union out.
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
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
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 ua-cam.com/video/Z6JoyTIhyl8/v-deo.html he goes waay in depth about all the fallout games
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.
Thats because it was a wake up call to us..look around: personal computer, domestic robots, promise of nuclear fusion...yet also we using our resources in a unsustainable way...wars around us...The fear of a China-us war
If you want to know more about the world of fallout New Vegas, with a comedic twist. I would suggest this. It's kinda long but we'll worth it. ua-cam.com/video/VKoki--fSvU/v-deo.html
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.
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames Hopefully. But as I said: Their dialog videos is just that. Dialog. As much depth and meaning as there is to be taken from their words, I doubt it would make for a good video. We're talking a 1.5 hour long session of philosophy, politics and personal morals. But damn, it is good.
If you guys are interested, it's not directly from Bethesda, but a youtuber named FudgeMuppet made videos on the deadliest enemies in Fallout 3, 4, and New Vegas. They're very good
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...
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 >_>
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.
Might be tough for another video, considering the intros covered here, but i'd still highly recommend Fallout 1 and 2's intros as well. Though dated in terms of audio and visuals, the writers were intelligent and hit the anti-war message on the head out the gate like Fallout 4, but with a teensy bit more subtle world building, like New Vegas.
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.
New vegas is such a beautiful game, Obsidian was given such a tight deadline and they went with it and made one of the best Fallouts ever you could even say one of the best games ever made, It was given such little time to develop and they made it work getting an amazing story and characters, allowing you to play how you want instead of every few seconds yelling at you to get back to the story and that's if you even wanted to not play the amazing story, to this day I find new dialog and areas that I never knew existed.
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. . .
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.
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.
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 New Vegas, best of the best in the fallout series for me, you get a choice to stick with whatever you want to choose, try to stick to Old World Values and actually use paper cash that's useless but is used as currency in the NCR while it's also corrupt and barely holding a chance against Caesar's Legion? Or Caesar's Legion who are well-known as ruthless, merciless, well-known slave-traders and lean very heavily into the Ancient Rome theme (can be easily seen with their outfit and their dependency on exclusively melee weapons or throwable spears), there's also some minor factions too, one that pops up most frequently in the series being the Brotherhood of Steel, heavy addicts to new tech that they regard as dangerous while being power-armored freaks who don't exactly see certain kinds of people as....people, especially Ghouls (Humans influenced by radiation giving them long life, but very messed up face while still maintaining their humanity unlike feral ghouls which are practically zombies).
No matter how controversial a fallout release can get (👀 at 76) I can't help but look forward to and get excited about everything they have it'll have to offer, I can't possibly be alone feeling this way lol
i think the community hasn't given up hope because every fallout game even 76 had insane amounts of potential, it's literally an incredibly large blank canvas to tell stories and depict people. before the announcement of 76 i never thought the game would've taken place in the Appalachian area, or the types of enemies that were shown were possible. Same with fallout 4, prior i had only played fallout 3 and i never imagined the type of world 4 had. So future fallout games always have the potential to be an incredible hit, we just gotta demand that quality and not settle for less.
As I've told people before Fallout 4 and 76 have the best gunplay mechanics, but New Vegas has the best RPG quality and story. New Vegas to this day is still my favorite Fallout game, trumps even FO4,3,2,1 and 76. They have their place no doubt but you can't even listen to Frank Sinatra's, "Blue Moon," without getting pangs of nostalgia of the Lucky 38, the Long 15 and the Strip. Its DLC content was some of the best hands down, aside from maybe Dead Money. Honest Hearts was a deep compelling storyline about the fate of the Burned Man and the tribes of Grand Canyon. Dead Money, for all its faults, closed up a chapter of what happened before the First Battle of Hoover Dam. Old World Blues was a refreshing, if not crazy addition to how much the old world was still remembered in the post war Mojave Desert. Lonesome Road was a synopsis on the Courier themselves and what he/she was doing before the first and second Battle of Hoover Dam. The entire game was just all around more deep than anything that even Bethesda dreamed of. I just hope Microsoft eventually gets around to letting Obsidian have another crack at it. I'll sell my kidney to buy New Vegas 2! 😁
All of the fallouts are about finding people or an item, except for new vegas. New vegas you’re looking for Benny (the guy that shot you in the head) but when you find him and eventually kill him then the real story unravels
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. 😆
Fallout New Vegas is considered the best of the new fallouts by most people. 4 is considered by fans of the originals to be a betrayal of Fallouts RPG roots... and anyone with a brain who played 76 or watched videos for it noticed 76 was an obvious recycled cash in using Fallout 4s engine. It even has the same bugs. Suffice to say, Bethesda lost a lot of trust from Fallout fans with 76.
Am a fan of the originals and don't consider 4 to be some betrayal of Fallout's RPG roots. Could it have been a lot better and stuck closer to them? Absolutely. I think calling it a betrayal is a bit overdramatic though.
You can thank Emil Pagliarulo. Go watch his STORY presentation where he admits that Bethesda isn't beholden to words written down 20 years ago, where he doesn't put effort into his story because he is of the thought that players will just make paper airplanes out of it, and several other things.
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.
I definitely wish I could play it for the first time again.
Yeah...thank the mods for at least making it sort of possible but it can only last for so long until you remember it all again.
I wish I could forget about all the gosh dang invisible walls :(
I wish for remasterd imagine use unreal engine

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.
😀
If I ever get the money, I'll make my way out there.
Do you know if they made it an annual thing?
@BIGD-cc7ru yes. It'll be in November 16 and 17 this year.
@@Evilcon666 awesome
“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!

Straight-up one of the greatest games ever made.
Not only does it have a fascinating setting and deep moral choices, but even the gameplay is genius. They finally cracked the code on how to use skills in dialogue and in events, as well as being able to tie the entire map together with quests and map design such that its impossible to miss the cool locations and the good quests.
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.
😎👍🙂
I wish the game could live up to the intro
Oh man that's awesome.
You can actually visit they place he was supposed to give the speach I think there is even a special piece of dialog
@@hue_ronin9225 No you can’t. It was supposed to be in Concord and I’ve yet to find it.
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.
Dig it 😎🤟
Much like how the very first quest is called Ain't That a Kick In The Head
Or how Benny’s quest is Ring - a - ding ding
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.
I agree, but I think our world is already bursting at the seams and we won't make it to 2077, God forbid we live to 2023
@@denisclen3006 What do you mean? Nuclear energy is the only true and proper green power source. Most of the green's complaints about CO2 would vanish if nuclear power was more widespread. It would actually make electric vehicles easier to power rather than the current charging systems running off diesel generators or from coal based power grids.

@@c.a.sahlin7836 I'm sorry you're that gullible.
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.
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.
And add to that, his defenses were actually incomplete at the time they were deployed. He knew the war was coming for years ahead of time, and had been planning right down to the wire when assembling those defenses. The only reason they weren't complete was that his doomsday calculation was off... by a single day.
Still, when 77 nukes target Las Vegas and the surrounding areas, and your incomplete defenses manage to deal with 68 of them, that is still a big achievement. Even though the remaining 9 got through, those ones hit the surrounding areas instead.
Thanks for the lore info 🙂
He's also based on Howard Hughes, worth looking up
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.

No way! 😯
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames Matthew Perry is a gamer and fell in love with Fallout 3. He even gave Ellen a copy of it on her show, it was him praising their game on her show that got Bethesda's attention.
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.
1. Todd Howard regularly mentions how much he loves New Vegas, he even did an AMA and mentioned it. 2. Chris Avellone (the ex-studio head of Obsidian) and Josh Sawyer(Director of NV) have regularly mentioned that they loved working with Bethesda, Chris Avellone even actively denies on his twitter that the "bad blood" between Bethesda and Obsidian is completely made up by toxic randos. 3. Obsidian didn't have to do absolutely anything related to creating textures etc for NV as they took assets from Fallout 3 so 18 months was enough time for just creating story and copy pasting premade assets(as Chris Avellone have confirmed)
Also the bonus was brought up by Bethesda themselves Obsidian Never asked for a bonus.
That's a great top 5 list, very based.
for as much praise fallout NV gets, for me it was actually a bad game in terms of the amount of minor and major game breaking bugs. from duping caps to straight falling through the world, NV was a very bad experience for me. I didn't like the added survival stats which for me seemed unnecessary. staying within the RPG genre, sure you can stretch that NV is a masterpiece but with games like the god of war series and TLOU, well i think those games shine much brighter.
@@raypalmer5125 Yeah no. Almost every texture in New Vegas was new except the dirt. All the plants, all the animals, all the humans and mutant, all the clothes and equipment, the entire categories of throwing and explosive weapons, everything was new. And that's before the DLC's. You can tell this because Fallout 3 didn't have anything that wasn't gray or brown.
Not to mention being forced to use the same, buggy old engine bethesda had been using for 15 years by that point, that they somehow got working better than Bethesda did in just a year and a half.
And Bethesda, the people who have resold you Fallout 3, 12 times, and resold Skyrim 40 times, has refused to ever rerelease New Vegas. Sure buddy, they don't hate it.
Yes the studio head and the director had a good experience with Bethesda. Not the artists, writers, programmers, and everyone else that actually made the game. They hate Bethesda.
And they're bound by NDA's, it's literally illegal for them to speak ill about the people who pay them. You can't trust what ANYONE says in a corporate setting.
Another fellow Paper Mario: TTYD Enjoyer ☕️
"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.
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
This joke was done to death back at the time, i can't not to repeat it
Fallout 1: Chosen to save vault
Fallout 2: Chosen to save Arroyo
Fallout 3: Chosen to bring water back (kinda)
Fallout NV: Angry mailman.
@@AmadeyAzalin Fallout 4: Chosen to find your son and unite the Commonwealth
Fallout 76: Chosen to be one of a whole bunch of people.
Other hand, getting shot in the head comes in really handy in the Old World Blues DLC; it's the reason why you get to keep a connection to your brain after the autodoc is done with you (every other subject became a Lobotomite).
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
I totally agree, also I think it's the only game that shows pre war life
New Vegas intro is so well written, I can tell by the reactions you guys were pretty invested!
Yup. Best intro of the bunch 🤩
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
Or just the Fallout 76 announcement trailer, that cover of Country Roads is a banger
I absolutely agree
Light hearted works 🙂
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.
The bear having 2 heads is supposed to be more symbolic than realistic, it's supposed to represent the values that it supposedly upholds while also representing its status and purpose in the new world. They basically did what the Caesar did with his Legion and used an "Old World" symbol and altered it to fit the "New World" agenda that currently drives it forward in the present.
The current California flag makes no sense. There are no bears in California. It would make sense they've never seen a yoa gaui
@@Tim7318-3 That's symbolic. Middle Ages have eg: two headed eagles, or lions with two tails...
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.”
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. :)
Remastering classic games seems like an easy money maker and actually beneficial as well. Instead of remaking movies which almost never works. Sometimes remakes of songs can work. But basically we’d love to play a remake/master of Fallout New Vegas 😀
It feels the least Fallout because it is located on the territories basically in post-post apocalypse era. There are already rebuilt towns and societies. Which is fine if it is made not too aggressively.
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.
✅🙂
That's the _official_ story. I still maintain that it was an experiment - their whole "the best and the brightest" mantra meant that maintenance scutwork was being performed by highly-educated engineers and physicists. There are some personnel notes on the terminals as you leave the Vault; my personal favorite is the complaint from the CIT engineer with three graduate degrees who was upset he was passed over for promotion from soda jerk to maintenance tech. I believe the point of the experiment was to see if these people, traditionally strong-ego and self-important, could work together to do the crap work necessary to survive.
@@DeaconBlues117 I believe there was no experiments but the assignment was to build the ground for future colonizations and controlling the nuclear arsenal, that's why they emerged to the surface just one generation after the nuclear blast
Fallout 3 "where's my father!?"
Fallout 4 "Where's my son!?"
Fallout NV "Where's the motherf***** who shot me in the head!?"
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.
Thanks for letting us know that 🙂
October 23rd, actually. Which is funny because that's the same date Bishop Ussher gave for Creation back in the 1600s - he maintained that the universe was created on October 23, 4004 BC.
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.
We are going to. Maybe in October cuz it fits the horror vibe 😱
For real, some of the experiments and situations in the Vaults were pretty interesting and made for cool places to explore...but most of that stuff is almost Umbrella Corporation levels of psychotic or sadistic. I dunno who headed up VaultTec's research department, but the dude had to have been a whackadoodle.
@@ericmartin8870 They were done because Vault Tec and the US government always intended to build starships and abandon Earth. The nukes just came too fast for them to complete their plants.
The Vaults were intended to test how humans on an isolated spaceship would react and develop. So they deliberately stress-tested them to see how to avoid mutinies or madness among the future ship crew.
@@aregulargamer1 Ah that makes sense. Still, their Board of Ethics was slacking off pretty hard to allow some of the crap they set up in those Vaults lol. There's stress-testing and there's mad-science cruelty lol...some of those experiments skirted that line or flat-out left it in the dust lol.
@@ericmartin8870 Yeah, pre-war US government was pretty fucking evil.
The Brotherhood of Steel was founded by US soldiers who discovered human experiments being done on their army base to turn people into super mutants.
They led a revolt, executed the scientists, and took over the base. Just as they were waiting for the Army to come after them; the bombs fell.
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
Agreed. How we fight a war might change, but the horrors of war never change 😢
Fun fact about the Police Robots, there are individual ones too! With unique faces, and personalities based on the people Mr. House knew.

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

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.

War… war never changes
Gives me chills everytime
But men do… through the roads they walk
@@5223142 So *that's* the answer to "What can change the nature of a man?"
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.
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.
Tv show could work. Depends who is doing it 🤔
I totally recommend reacting to the dlc trailers for 3 new vegas and 4!
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.
Well said 🙂
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".
Seeing the New Vegas intro gave me Vault 22 flashbacks, ugh.... Vault-Tech makes Nestle and Disney look like saints by comparison
Who else got an ad right when Benny pulled the trigger of his gun? 5:14 perfect timing
😯
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.
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!
That makes sense. Fallout 4 is my favorite (and I played every FO game since the original)- and when it was released, I had been married for a decade and had 2 kids. I love emotional things, and that one is obviously the most meaningful for me.
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
Some parts of the lore hint that it was the Chinese who started it (the records at the Switchboard in 4, for example), while others hint the US struck first, and some suggest it might have even been Vault-Tec eager to test their vaults. There's even a set of records at the Whitespring in 76 that imply it was the work of the same rogue Enclave agent who engineered the Scorchbeasts and unleashed the Scorched Plague in order to make the DEFCON level high enough that he could launch missiles from the three silos in West Virginia (sadly for him, the computer took exception to his plans and killed everyone in the bunker) - he had received an email from someone who was convinced they were all locked in a simulation, and could only escape by destroying a small city in "what we perceive to be southern China". He requested permission from his Enclave superiors, but was denied - and just before the War, he executed everyone in the bunker who disagreed with his plans, and "lost contact" with the east coast Enclave HQ at Raven Rock.

The dlc is great expandables on the lore with certain characters and places plus it kinda makes you think
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.
Not just to rebuild, but to control the large nuclear arsenal
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.
Believe we saw 1 and maybe even 2 in our first fallout video 🤔
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.
Im glad to have seen this reaction today.
😊
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.
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,
Where does New Vegas take place? 🤔 sorry couldn’t help making the bad joke 😂🤗
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames lol
1 and 2 take place in California. 2 specifically has you go to San Francisco.
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames Fun fact; New Vegas has a dlc where you go to Utah and help a group of post-apocalyptic mormons.
In fact, in Fallout 1 you get the ball rolling that will lead to the founding of the NCR. And you get to visit part of the Pitt in 76, with the new Expeditions; the Responders have a vertibird they've recovered, and doing favors for them around the Whitespring will get you the power cells you need to take a quick trip to Pittsburgh to try to help the Union out.
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
Thanks for the recommendation 😀
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
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 :)

If you guys are interested, it's not directly from Bethesda, but a youtuber named FudgeMuppet made videos on the deadliest enemies in Fallout 3, 4, and New Vegas. They're very good
Thanks for the channel recommendation 🙂
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...
Have you seen the fallout in 5 minutes video, it's good and does put it in a nutshell without giving spoilers
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 >_>
It’s all about the face 😜
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.
Guys since you love MK series you'll definitely love Samurai Shodown supers, there are a lot of similarities when it comes to violence and blood!
😁
New Vegas has an amazing intro
Might be tough for another video, considering the intros covered here, but i'd still highly recommend Fallout 1 and 2's intros as well. Though dated in terms of audio and visuals, the writers were intelligent and hit the anti-war message on the head out the gate like Fallout 4, but with a teensy bit more subtle world building, like New Vegas.
Feel like we saw Fallout 1 intro on our first fallout video 🤔
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames Oooh i'll have to check that out then
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.
Well, 76 had a really bad start. But eventually I liked it.
New vegas is such a beautiful game, Obsidian was given such a tight deadline and they went with it and made one of the best Fallouts ever you could even say one of the best games ever made, It was given such little time to develop and they made it work getting an amazing story and characters, allowing you to play how you want instead of every few seconds yelling at you to get back to the story and that's if you even wanted to not play the amazing story, to this day I find new dialog and areas that I never knew existed.
You guys should check out the fallout vault lore videos by Wisefish. You can really get a sense of how evil vault tech is
For a contrast consider watching the intro to Metal Gear Solid 4, the first line being "War...has changed" lol
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. . .
😢
Fallout 4, is one of my favorite games thanks for watching the intros!
You guys need to watch the gameplay trailers for these.
Fallout 4’s S.P.E.C.I.A.L cartoon videos are pretty funny to watch. I recommend them.
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.
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.
Haha, happy and fun world indeed 😨😳😜
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 New Vegas, best of the best in the fallout series for me, you get a choice to stick with whatever you want to choose, try to stick to Old World Values and actually use paper cash that's useless but is used as currency in the NCR while it's also corrupt and barely holding a chance against Caesar's Legion? Or Caesar's Legion who are well-known as ruthless, merciless, well-known slave-traders and lean very heavily into the Ancient Rome theme (can be easily seen with their outfit and their dependency on exclusively melee weapons or throwable spears), there's also some minor factions too, one that pops up most frequently in the series being the Brotherhood of Steel, heavy addicts to new tech that they regard as dangerous while being power-armored freaks who don't exactly see certain kinds of people as....people, especially Ghouls (Humans influenced by radiation giving them long life, but very messed up face while still maintaining their humanity unlike feral ghouls which are practically zombies).
Caesars Legion is a cool name even though the people are very bad 🤗
What an atmospheric trailer
love the video, you guys should check out the persona games they are a very fun different style of games.
No matter how controversial a fallout release can get (👀 at 76) I can't help but look forward to and get excited about everything they have it'll have to offer, I can't possibly be alone feeling this way lol
Haha, we’re sure you’re not. Hope isn’t a bad thing 🤗
i think the community hasn't given up hope because every fallout game even 76 had insane amounts of potential, it's literally an incredibly large blank canvas to tell stories and depict people. before the announcement of 76 i never thought the game would've taken place in the Appalachian area, or the types of enemies that were shown were possible. Same with fallout 4, prior i had only played fallout 3 and i never imagined the type of world 4 had. So future fallout games always have the potential to be an incredible hit, we just gotta demand that quality and not settle for less.
As I've told people before Fallout 4 and 76 have the best gunplay mechanics, but New Vegas has the best RPG quality and story. New Vegas to this day is still my favorite Fallout game, trumps even FO4,3,2,1 and 76. They have their place no doubt but you can't even listen to Frank Sinatra's, "Blue Moon," without getting pangs of nostalgia of the Lucky 38, the Long 15 and the Strip. Its DLC content was some of the best hands down, aside from maybe Dead Money. Honest Hearts was a deep compelling storyline about the fate of the Burned Man and the tribes of Grand Canyon. Dead Money, for all its faults, closed up a chapter of what happened before the First Battle of Hoover Dam. Old World Blues was a refreshing, if not crazy addition to how much the old world was still remembered in the post war Mojave Desert. Lonesome Road was a synopsis on the Courier themselves and what he/she was doing before the first and second Battle of Hoover Dam. The entire game was just all around more deep than anything that even Bethesda dreamed of.
I just hope Microsoft eventually gets around to letting Obsidian have another crack at it. I'll sell my kidney to buy New Vegas 2!
😁
Fallout made Ron Pearlman my favorite actor.
I absolutely love the fallout series!
😎🤟🥳
All of the fallouts are about finding people or an item, except for new vegas. New vegas you’re looking for Benny (the guy that shot you in the head) but when you find him and eventually kill him then the real story unravels
“Super happy fun tiiiimes”
You guys will aboslutely love "The fall of 76" by InternetHistorian 😂😂😂
Been hearing that’s informative and entertaining 😛
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. 😆
Fallout New Vegas is considered the best of the new fallouts by most people. 4 is considered by fans of the originals to be a betrayal of Fallouts RPG roots... and anyone with a brain who played 76 or watched videos for it noticed 76 was an obvious recycled cash in using Fallout 4s engine. It even has the same bugs.
Suffice to say, Bethesda lost a lot of trust from Fallout fans with 76.
10/10
Ironically 76 is actually a much better RPG than 4 nowadays.
Am a fan of the originals and don't consider 4 to be some betrayal of Fallout's RPG roots.
Could it have been a lot better and stuck closer to them? Absolutely. I think calling it a betrayal is a bit overdramatic though.
@@mechanomics2649 They basically got rid of most of those elements for more pew pew gameplay.
You can thank Emil Pagliarulo. Go watch his STORY presentation where he admits that Bethesda isn't beholden to words written down 20 years ago, where he doesn't put effort into his story because he is of the thought that players will just make paper airplanes out of it, and several other things.
