It looks like console players will benefit from some graphical upgrades and performance enhancements, but for PC players especially, the next-gen update seems to break more than it fixes.

No. All of our mods break every update. The reason I quit playing modded games.
*Face desk* Goddamnit bethesda!
Standard affair when it comes to Bethesda.
Ouch
Didn't they spend like a year and a half on this update? This is like spending 8 years making a space game that sucks...
I bought that trash and haven't even played it. Smdh
🤣
Lol
Modders made a better job with textures and guns

CD Projekt: Fixes the game after the hype created by the TV show
Bethesda: breaks the game after the hype created by the TV show
Lol A tale of two developers
Cyberpunk is still less of an RPG than fo4 and that's saying something. They canceled multiplayer twice too. Dislike both studios for opposite reasons.
@@Day100 OP was referring to Witcher 3, and the Witcher TV show.
@@Chris_Sizemoredoubtful, Witcher 3 worked fine before the TV show came out. Cyberpunk was still a mess until a while after edgerunners released
@@yguy1232 Witcher 3 got a huge update last year and it was perfect. Day and night.
Did ANYONE expect competence or professionalism from Bethesda?
good point lol
Ben : No...
Hey plenty of morons still think the TV show is any good and absolutely not a big middle Finger to the better fallout titles. They also already forgotten everything about F76 and Todds lies. So yes. They are all stupid and actually did expect some wonder update.
Nope....makes me sad...but no. Love Skyrim....LOOOOOVE it...wont be buying TES6 until i know its good or even stable.
@@Eldenbruhor it goes on a major sale or pirated and gets all the fan patches like every Bethesda game
Bethesda absolutely has to be a social experiment, because there is no way that a company this size could be this incompetent.
Nah it seems the bigger any company gets, the more incompetent they become
Kick the diversity hires
A goddamn Vault-Tec experiment, I swear.
Sounds like vault tec….

Install the mod where you can kill the minuet men... oh wait.
Leave it to Bethesda to break a game that's been out for almost a decade with an update that adds nothing modders didn't already address *on the game's launch.*
Fucking embarassing.
better it being broken that having to play its garbage ass story, tis a mercy in disguise
@@trentr9762no.
70 billion dollar company btw.
Is it not asinine? Yet the mistakes keep coming. They are so fucking stupidly ignorant that I could only see it as weaponized and passive aggressive. It HAS to be.
I know creating good games is not easy, but it’s like there is no passion whatsoever behind shit. It’s really annoying, and I wish there were a way to get the message across, but nobody would listen anyways. Just pointless!
@@QuantumMecha the only message they’ll understand is when they go bankrupt, which will happen inevitably, what they’re doing, short term profits over anything else, is impossible to sustain, so they will keep making the minimum viable product and selling it for for as much as they can as long as they can. Todd is a billionaire already, he doesn’t give two s**ts, and developers are more concerned with spreading “the message” and hating on anyone that dares to not buy it.
The bubble will burst, and I can’t wait.
I love how indie games like Stardew Valley or Terraria (for example) thru the years give *big* and free updates for absolutely no reason, just cuz they love the game and fanbase, yet something like Fallout just adds this update that barely makes me wanna replay the game with how barebones it is.
Those games aren’t comparable to Bethesda typa games.
@@youngceez7144 Comparable in what way? That they're not AAA? Cuz if that's the case, you can look at how GoW Ragnarok had a free dlc update to add a new game mode
The games might not be comparable, but the companies attitude towards the consumer is. Passion and Greed are 2 separate things, and the often dont go togheter. Bethesda has ZERO passion, they are pure Greed, and they CAN make free stuff like indie devs if they want, they choose not to.
You dare to compare masterpieces with a Bethesda game?
If Bethesda employees had brains and eyes you would’ve made em cry
Bethesda: Who could've seen this coming?
Everyone:
It's already been said many times before. Bethesda is technically inept and morally bankrupt.
Everyone: "It seems Bethesda didn't really think this through."
Also Everyone: "Yeah, we know."
Classic Todd. And you guys will still pre order Elder Scrolls 6.
I learned my lesson from 76.
Don't bully me.
Neah...they preorder the collectors edition for 150 dollars.
Yes, yes they are.
of course they will
And still buying Skyrim when it got a re-release for the 16th time (this time it's slightly more detailed)
I think if I may sound a bit conspiratorial that they purposely released a broken update quickly just to not be upstaged by a bunch of modders, which Fallout London is almost certain to do 😡
Yeah that thought had crossed my mind. They haven’t given those guys any attention, clearly not happy with the modders making another game
@jrd4793 Yeah. They are very immature. They should praise and credit all the people who keep their games alive. Instead, they are washed with a lack of integrity and a huge amount of jealousy. It's sad. Maybe they should hire the people who are more qualified instead of trying to sabotage them.
@@Jaguar21010idk man I’d be pissed if someone took my game and used it to make there own how are u supposed to feel about it
Not care
Or would u care
@@Ed-ealmighty When was the last time Bethesda NOT done something to screw over the very modders that are fixing their broken ass games?
@@MegaRazorback but no one is asking modders to do it they are literally killing themselves with love if u can mod then U can make your own damn game and call it outfall get it huh huh get it 😝
would it really have killed them to separate out the changes that wouldn't break mods, and only push those for the PC version? like in what universe does it make sense to capitalize on the show's popularity by breaking mods, when they damn well know the game heavily relies on mods for people to enjoy it?
Because the update is to sell their paid mods. They don't give a damn about free mods whatsoever. The 'Next Gen' part of the update is to try to appease gamers and this is obvious by the amount of time they clearly haven't put in to it , but creation club sales is the goal.
Bethesda needs to understand you are not a small company anymore. What in the hell is going on with management over there
Probably endless meeting about minutiae that drag on and end up getting nothing done.
DEI/ESG is all they care about anymore. Hence the lower standards.
They need to stop using a decades-old engine for one. They’ve been using a tweaked version of the same engine they’ve been using since Morrowind.
@@randalthor6872 Generic troll. 2/10 attempt

Amazon doing the impossible, handing a golden goose egg to Todd, and he drops it.
of course he dropped it. he's a seagull.
Bethesda were desperate to find a way to somehow screw it up
Dropped it ? He literally tossed it over his shoulder and it went over a cliff
@@darkwolfe6286Try *"literally yeeted it off the cliff like it was a bomb seconds from going off."*
He didn't drop it, he spiked it into the fucking ground.
They re-released skyrim multiple times without fixing a single bug left after Dragon Born, and somehow people actually thought this time would be different....
To be fair, Special Edition was a genuinely massive tech improvement over the original release.
64-bit support and a lot of under the hood improvements made the game so much more stable for not only regular gameplay, but also modding. No more worrying about Original Skyrims 32bit limitations and wonky memory management. Oh and for me it was a free upgrade.
Not a fan of the anniversary update, but at least it didn't break the game and mods (SKSE still broke as expected) as severely as FO4's Next Gen patch did.
Sheeple…
Sheeple never change
the update is so half baked the "enclave remnants" are just gunners with black armor, they still say "gunner down" when you kill one
Bethesda always I mean ALWAYS believes in adding new bugs while keeping the old ones
They also excel at putting back every bad feature we mod out.
I think this is what Todd beliefes "game preservation" means
@@marcpaulus6291 I suppose making the game unplayable "preserves" it in some evil twisted definitions.
Bethesda is the Disney of gaming; started out awesome, then self-sabotaged hard for no clear reason.
What did people expect? After Skyrim's anniversary edition everyone should've seen this coming.
Bethesda never lets you down when it comes to letting you down
AT LEAST that added a decent bit of new content AND increased the mod cap for consoles
@@DubcityTXAt least they’re consistent somewhere.
@@DubcityTXthey literally gave a hard release date a week or so in advance.
I saw issues coming but on the scale that they are on...nope that did catxcch me off guard
the very instant I saw them announce the update earlier this month, my heart sank and I immediately looked up how to disable auto updates lmao
Wish I did that, it's broken my mod counter, also getting that ghost mod thing where you'll download a mod with plenty of space but the game saying you don't have enough space
@@Ghost996 there's still ways to revert it!
@@Ghost996 Mods I used to be able to download independently now lack required files, like they relied on other mods or something.
@@theguybehindyou4762 Well I managed to re-find the mods that randomly disappeared for me. Not all but most, for some reason they just went but I was able to find them again
Imagine updating a decade old game and braking it even further than already was, truly we reached AAAA quality.
A is for Ass and every A in some of these games just means they are more Ass. AssAssAssAss
The game didn't even need to be updated anyway, an update that would of been awesome would be a mod count increase for console
@@Ghost996 are there any worthwhile mods on consoles anyway?
@@italianspiderman5012 There's tons, but then again I enjoy and like a lot of things and I'm pretty easy to please
@@Ghost996 fair enough
All the new Fallout fans are getting the authentic Bethesda experience. ‘It just works’
I'm surprised they tried to do it as an update and not just do a Fallout 4 anniversary edition like they did with Skyrim where they sold a new version every 6 months
“It just works” means: “somehow, people keep giving us money”
“60 fps on console” my ass. Every time I go anywhere near Boston I have to look at the ground or my game will crash
Everything just works.
After the modders come in clutch.
Calling it "Next Gen" while all they did was change some ini settings for console players and give people a couple of creation club packs.
Meanwhile The Witcher 3 had a "Next Gen Patch" and added ray tracing, dlss, fsr, higher resolution textures, and other fixes and improvements to QOL.
Both of these games came out in the same year.
I get that it's a free update, but it was delayed an ENTIRE YEAR! FOR WHAT?
For the show. Duh.
Ya never played much FO4 because I was too busy playing the witch 3
@@HuyNguyen-lt4wcexactly, they knew that if the show was successful it would drive sales through the roof and it did, especially since Starfield was a disaster.
@@paulrippcord506 lol. starfield wasn't a disaster. It sold very well and got great review at launch.
@@HuyNguyen-lt4wchonestly they rep isn’t damaged that bad but starfield as a game made me realize that they can’t make good games anymore .
Bethesda's "next-gen" is looking a lot like Bethesda's previous-gen. Bugged bug fixes and performance enhancements that cause performance problems is 100% on brand for Bethesda.
"Bethesda" will be a curse word for gamers in the future.
That was Bethesda's "FK YOU" to the Modding Community for doing what they couldn't. The release date for the next gen update is no accident! They didn't even finish the update for PC. They just knew it had to release by the time London was ready
Todd Howard once gloated that he would make a career out of breaking video games.
Half of the London team work at Bethesda you are just being a crazed tin foil Paranoid person.
@@jonathancunningham8739 Half of the London Team work at Bethesda and they didn't know about the update? I'm gonna call BS!
"we cant let a good game come out on our engine, we have to break London"
Dude, they were gonna launch something with the show. So yeah, *it’s not up to BGS to inform a modding team.*
@@SawdEndymon are they under any obligation? No.
Does it help their reputation to have zero outreach to the very strong modding community for their games? No, it actively hurts their reputation.
BGS was an internet Golden Child for video games. Now they are barely better than EA
@@stirlinggerbic-forsyth3345
”barely better than EA”
*You gotta stop being terminally online.*
@@SawdEndymon yeah no we as a whole shouldn't condemn corpo practices like this even if its not upto them.
@@SawdEndymon it's not but if you cared about your community you'd tell your entire community. Just because you can set a low corporate bar doesn't mean you SHOULD do it lmfao.
All the games I play usually give you a heads up so you can choose to update or not update it as it comes up. Everyone KNOWS updates break mods so telling the people who essentially make all the new content for your like 9 year old game, sounds like an important thing to do if you actually valued your community. Besides, it was expected that the update would at least be substantial... now some people can't even play the base game now. What's the point of updating for your new players if some of them can't even play the game and some save files get corrupted because of it? Nice first impressions of your 9 year old game to new players I guess.
I'm not even a Fallout player and I feel bad for the community that they get 0 communications from their games developers.
Whenever something good comes along they HAVE to screw up what follows.
It's in the code of conduct to work at Bethesda. NOTHING gets done right the first time ever.
first time ever, more like 99999 time ever, re sell of the same game ...
I have been following Fallout London's development for a while now. The game looks really promising and I feel really bad that Team Folon had to face this situation ):
Todd Howard: "It just works!"
Narrator: "It did not just work"
It's even funnier when you remember that Todd also said "It doesn't just work" on stage
Bethesda... Bethesda never changes
Bethesda about its Fallout 4 update: "Kept you waiting, huh?".
Bethesda’s rudeness towards the modding community, the community that makes their pathetically long dev cycles bearable, is pretty astonishing.
they DO NOT work for Bethesda... if i where them it wouldn't be my problem either... did the modders ask permission? fukn entitled gamers bruh lol
I love the modding community like eveyone else but I don't think they were trying to break the mods intentionally.
@@TheVampireFishQueen yea just like the unnecessary updates for their creation club didn’t break mods intentionally on Skyrim special edition
@@HeraldofMisfortune it's less of a PR hit to be functionally incompetent and break everything by update than it would be to issue legal takedowns on modding sites. Even if Bethesda is actually not trying to break the modding community, it's doing a terrible job proving otherwise. At least one competent update that didn't make modders lives hell would have been a good sign.
Same
>Releases multiplayer game. It sucks
>Releases new game setting. It sucks
>Releases update for old game. It sucks
Anything bethesda does sucks.
Well, i have to admit though. fallout 3 when it came out was a banger. But fallout new vegas just did it better. Why can’t some other company or obsidian make a fallout game again? Or have any support type of support. for fallout?
Anyways, the tv show of fallout was pretty darn good though. At least but yeah some fans had some problems with the show. Like the retcons and stuff. But was addressed later on by todd howard. But me personally it was awesome better than majority of video game adaptations.
@@ukrainefighter2456 The show was shit. The retcons are objectively shit.
Todd Howard is shit to the core.
@@ukrainefighter2456 yeah no the fallout TV show is utter dogshit
Bethesda Fucking Up yet again?
Shocker.
I’m looking forward to watching how all the fans will learn nothing when ES6 gets a release date.
I'm not pre-ordering, but I'm not tapering my excitement for ES6 either, because after 13 years of Skyrim, it HAS to be exciting. And if it's not, it'll be a big enough disappointment to place the last nail in the coffin for Bethesda. 76 was (arguably) too ambitious, Starfield was "new" territory, but they have zero excuse at all for ES6 when the only benchmark left to beat at this point is just "don't reuse assets and have modding support."
considering how many times in a row we're willing to buy skyrim, bethesda fans need to get burned a LOT to give up our goodwill... unfortunately. Even after fo76's launch, I still bought starfield on launch day. But I'm committed to holding off on the new elder scrolls after that shitshow
ES6 is their last chance for me.
@@Tha3rdworldghost How many fucking last chances are you people going to give this garbage company ?
@@wawa6711😂😂😂😂 I'm telling ya they enjoy the punishment.
Despite confirming this update existed for over a year, they legitimately must have started working on this about a month ago.
More likely is they stopped working on it last year and just held off releasing it until the show came out to maximize cross promotion.
More like they finished up on the update, got confirmation when the TV show is supposed to air and hold the update to this date to push it out alongside the show.
They probably spent 2 days on the update, then shelved it for over a year without ever playtesting it so they could drop it at the same time as the show.
STARFIELD WAS THE Most amazing game ever created until it got released to the public.... :(
I wouldn't be surprised if they waited for the modders to fix their mistakes, and then dial back the whole update b******* to sabotage them even more...
Pettiness over profits seems to be the norm nowadays.
If Bethesda were in charge of inventing the car, we'd all be driving like the Flintstones today
Nah, modders would fix it and Bethesda would break everything the modders made at random times.
But there would be a way to exploit it to drive like a Ferrari
No .. we would have nukes intentionally destroying the world 😇
Nah bicycles
Knowing Bethesda- no- they would be static items that just explode…
fallout 4 is almost 10 years old... why do they update this game and break it.
i can't wrap my head around it.
They just wanted to stupidly copy after CD Project Red and their updates to the Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 🤦🏻♂️: I just wish they had added it as a “DLC” that you can download separately like the HD Texture pack.
They did it to phuck with the release of Fallout London.
Because that way, stupid people will think they care.
They're playing "pretend".
@@AlexNV75 Product synergy. They know they can sell a few extra copies on the back of the goodwill from the show. It's almost certainly why this was a half assed tossed together shit show.
They didnt want mods like Fallout London to succeed because they cant get money from that. Spite?
What a surprise.... imagine the company that spent 8 years making a a boring space game, and the company that continuously sabotages the lore of the franchise they bought (Fallout) not putting in proper effort on something like this.
Imagine spending the same amount of time Obsidian had to make Fallout New Vegas on an update, and STILL not getting it right.
But this "update" made the game unplayable, so that's negative progress.
on pc i went from 140 avg fps to 75. i went from loading times of afew seconds to 2min in random places. i went from never really crashing to crashing afew times an hour. mod saves are broke, pretty much all big mods are broke, and a lot of modders are saying the fixing required are pretty steep. And yes i feel bad for FOL. With the fixes required we probably wont see that released for many months. And what does the update really do? not much, you probably wont notice much at all on any improvements on pc.
bruh how is it impossible for bethesda games to get anything right
really incompetent management.
@@Xishnik94 correction: incompetent everything.
Because…it just works! It’s kinda like my prime minister saying, “the budget will balance itself!”
Its not a bug, its a feature!
any devs that force update in games after release without consent of users should go to federal prison for fraud, nobody wants their new random crap, nobody cares about their balance changes. they can't be trusted to just fix actual bugs, they typically try to change entire gameplay based on their irrelevant intent. it's amazing there hasn't been rage incidents on game devs breaking game content people like
5:31 'This patch, it feels like it breaks more than it fixes.'
Seems like that was the point.
I think so. Wouldn’t it be something if they started offering the same mods as micro transactions that their update broke! Almost like they did it on purpose! I feel bad for anyone who updated and didn’t block the update
Not enough micro-transactions in FO4, how else are they going to force people into Fallout 'just one more little transaction' 76?!?!?!
What do you people expect from EA , Ubisoft, Activision and Bethesda. And for whatever reason people are still buying these broken games .
They dont care anymore. Also, it appears like Beth is basically a ONE CODER. Otherwise nothing makes sense. If u imagine bethesda is 10ppl, one coder, 2 ppl drawing, 5 hyping the shit etc, than this level of release suddenly makes sense
Honestly as a console player, I was hoping they’d just increase the mod file size, the amount of room you have is pitiful.
That's all I really want with this and Skyrim. I trust modders for actual fixes.
They say they couldn't because it would mess with mods and modded save files. Guess what? This update did that anyway.
@@michaelmegson2778it’s just the technology of Bethesda is so far ahead that it can’t be done, gotta wait another decade or two.
“Everything just works”

Xbox update was forced even though I had updates TURNED OFF. This destroyed over 3000 hours of save files with NO WAY TO RECOVER THEM. I have never been this angry and disappointed in a company. Im deleting fallout and never looking back. I will never give Bethesda money ever again.
dude seriously? So if I reinstall fo4 on Xbox, it's gonna affect all my 4 different characters and I can't backup those saves?
@@apexanimo Most likely. Had to reinstall because my game was broken, and a lot of the mods wouldn't download again.
@@theguybehindyou4762 Right, thanks. The best backup for now is to not touch anything xD
Oh, and please don't forget to mention the size of the next gen update. Remember, with next-gen graphics and settings you need next-gen sizes. That's a whopping 14.5 GB for my steam version. 🙄😮💨🤦♀️🤷♀️
Breaking mods, didn't even touch Boston, and broke their own CC content. I think it's safe to say the juice was not worth the squeeze. Bethesda needs an enima.
bethesda screwed up a launch?! i am shocked i tell you! shocked!
They meant to release the update on April 1st but needed some more time for their April's Fools.
Is anyone surprised Bethesda is not capable of releasing good confident products anymore the last one they released was Skyrim every other game since then has been a complete mess and no they don’t get credit for doom because technically they only license that one. That’s a totally different studio that actually handles it.
Heart goes out to everyone who forgot to turn off auto updates for the game before this launched
I'm on xbox and have updates turned off. Still forced the update while I was sleeping. All my saves are gone...😢
@@RAWBOT301oh shit 😳
@@RAWBOT301 I have auto-updates off on Xbox and mine didn't update, might need to check your settings
Luckily, I made a recording of all my previous playthrough mod list before the update, so in a few months, I should be able to enjoy the game again.
Had to use steam's cmd to download the previous ver of fallout and redownload all my mods, Thanks Bethesda.
Ya'll gotta get it through your heads: Just because it was an Ubisoft Exec who was stupid enough to say the quiet part out loud, they are ALL the same: They want us to get comfortable not owning our games. They HATE mods making their old games they don't make money from anymore better than their modern halfbaked crap. Stunts like this are done intentionally. Most of these triple A studios are filled with misanthropic political extremists and idealogues who hate Gamers in general anyway. So even knowing decisions like this are bad for business they'll do it anyway out of sheer spite. But remember: We can spite them right back. Don't buy their crap for a couple of years. Let the bloated studios collapse under their own greed and ineptitude. The studios that survive will be the best of the best and start delivering quality games again.
boycotts never work in gaming, especially not in the AAA-space.
@@arsenii_yavorskyi I don't think this needs a proper boycott anyway, just more general awareness about the state of games one is going to buy from the players. If enough people organically stop rewarding shitty companies by not buying games day 1 or even pre-ordering them just as a slowly growing trend out of situations like this happening, eventually companies will either have to start taking into account how they handle their games or suffer a loss in revenue. It's probably not going to happen in a global scale kind of thing but probably it can happen with a company by company case, like CA which is trying to fix the way they've been handling Warhammer 3 after messing up most of the times during the lifespan of the game, probably because the players got fed up and started voting with their wallet.
@@arsenii_yavorskyi You're not understanding how precarious a position these studios have put themselves in. They've become bloated with bureaucracy and nepotism, and in-fighting. Their talent pool is as shallow as a kiddie pool. Most of their major decisions run through the Karens in the HR department. Their staff is full of people who care more about promoting fringe ideologies and creepy fetishes than about making games.
In an environment like that, they've backed themselves into a corner where internal overhead costs are constantly rising, but their audience engagement and customer goodwill is constantly shrinking.
While I would personally enjoy driving some of these studios out of business, it's not actually necessary. If we just deprive them of enough revenue that they HAVE to downsize the Nepo-hires and start seeking actual, talented developers who will at least PRETEND they don't hold the gaming community in open contempt, that alone would be a massive win for us as customers.
The hard truth is, execs, ceos and investors don't need to learn shit from this industry, they will always walk away rich no matter how many projects bomb, more and more studios will shut down, devs losing jobs and thecycle will repeat its self.@@TheCrimsonRevengerUnless, AA and Indies become the standard, since publishers aren't usually needed for those projects.
@@karls4937 I mean, that's just life. An endless series of repeating cycles. You don't get to break the cycle. But you absolutely can influence it's speed. You can impact how quickly...or slowly...we traverse through the ugly stages of the cycle, and how long we linger in the good stages. So let's haul ass through this ugly stage we're in right now, and then take a nice leisurely scenic route through the good stage to follow. Deal? Deal.
Oh wow a Bethesda launch being broken? Who could have seen that coming
It took a decade for this update
Apparently, they spent a year plus of work on this as well. Which is either a complete fabrication or shows they really need to watch what their developers spend their time on.
All the armor and weapons were either in Fallout 76 (and since 76 is basically the same build Fallout 4 is it's an easy xfer) or were in the creation club already.
Everything else was literally mods done by the community that Bethesda simply copied and somehow made worse. Would have been better to just have left it alone.
Just compiling existing mods together would be a better result than this
@@RicoRaynn Define "they". A monkey with half a brain flinging is own turds can be classified as "they", as long as it is employed by Bethesda and flung it's turds during it's work hours.

@@TheInnocentRabbitofCaerbannog I would NOT let Bethesda touch New Vegas. Obsidian did a great job making that game with what they had to work with. They were given an impossible task to make a Fallout game under Bethesda's stupid restrictions and in a game engine that is busted. Still, Bethesda screwed Obsidian over after the release of New Vegas. Yet, Obsidian at least made a game. Where your choices mattered. Made you feel like you made a difference. I do not think anyone remembers the original ending of Fallout 3. You die. No, seriously. You die. Game Over. The End. The Story was over. No, end game. It was not until the Brotherhood of Steel DLC that retconned that ending. That WAS the ending. If you wanted the "Good" Ending. You end up dying.
So yeah. Bethesda cannot write a story to save their lives, some times. They are great at world building, some times. But, a story? Not so much. Even ones that make you feel like your choices mattered. Fallout 4 made the biggest mistake. Pretty much railroading you into a story of being a parent looking for their child. Or in Fallout 3, had to find your father. Kind of a mistake of story telling and railroading you into doing. Even if you do other side quests. Those quests really do not matter much. New Vegas had you be somebody that actually died and somehow lived. Then, going through to get revenge and finish a job. Yet, that is not the main plot of the game. The main plot is whoever control a freaking dam and New Vegas. You only get involved if you choose to. Behind that, you get your revenge, deliver the package, and could go on with doing other things. Which makes sense.
Bethesda ever touching that. They will screw it up. And highly doubtful Obsidian would ever work with Bethesda to even do a remaster of New Vegas.
Fisto reporting for duty.
I really hoped that they would've announced FO3 and FNV remasters for current gen...
On console I had to redo multiple quests I had done years ago and my game save was corrupted (but I fixed it with earlier save) but can anyone tell me if they fixed the Chinese stealth suit by chance?
PS5 player here. I have the PS4 version of the game, and prior to update had to delete the Automatron dlc to stop crashes on startup.
Can anyone confirm if the Automatron dlc works now? Should I reinstall it after this update?
This is why they should've taken the time to redo the entire thing as a new release titled Fallout 4: Special Edition. All they did was update our modlists. :(
I'm kinda baffled they didn't. how many times have they rereleased Skyrim and millions of people buy the same game again?
Probably cause Todd doesn’t love fallout like he does Skyrim it’s his baby after all
Don't let the Fallout show fool you, Bethesda is not what it once was. We need to accept that.
The show is kind of mid anyway
@@noodlelova3 Agreed
I noticed some texture bugs. pre-nuke, they use the rusty damaged vault door
This happens a lot with all games with mods whenever there’s a performance update
I just play vanilla
Bug-thesda.... Bug-thesda never changes.
9 years to half-ass an update. Well done, Bethesda. This a half dozen "editions" of Skyrim all over again.
And we used to clown on George Lucas for doing that with movies. AT LEAST HIS SHIT FUNCTIONED!!!
I reinstalled FO4 to test out the update. My gsme crashed to desktop without error messages during chatacter creation.
I uninstalled it 30 seconds after.
Yesterday ive experienced some lag spikes on Steam Deck that forced me restart the game to fix it. I was a day one player on vanilla and when survival launched. More than 3000h in survival on ps4 and some frustration woth crashes. Now its the lag spikes on deck 😢
Watches Show
Gets the itch to replay a fallout game
Boots up fallout 4
Plays
Update releases a few days later
Save corrupted
Well done Bethesda
Literally happened to me, so I've decided it's not worth a replay. I might play New Vegas, tho
@@angela8533I tried playing New Vegas first. The game *refused* to stop crashing when leaving Doc’s.
So I redownloaded 4 to play the new Sim Settlements 2 updates. Definitely going to stop auto-update when I boot up Steam later.
@@mattstanford9673a simple Google search about crashes will fix new Vegas crashing but you were too lazy to even do that. Pathetic.
@@mattstanford9673 I love new vegas but it takes a lot of duct tape to make it run sometimes
@@GRIMHOOD99 Even unmodded it’s a jankfeat. I remember the first time I played it and the radscorpions would just fall through the ground while they chased me. And the geckos were constantly getting stuck in rocks.
Definitely not Obsidian’s best.
“For how long it took to be made, it does not work as well as it should.”
We, as gamers, have been playing Bethesda games for how long?
This was the least surprising outcome.
To be fair, this update probably works as well as it should for the amount of effort that went into making it. The update was most likely delayed to coincide with the TV show to maximize the cross promotion opportunity. And in the extra year of waiting...probably zero testing was done. Which is absolutely consistent with the quality of releases Bethesda has put out for the last decade.
"gamers" stopped playing Bethesda games long ago man.
This shit is unacceptable and damn you for being okay with it.
@@Mystipaoniz Oh yeah, that's why starfield sold well over 10 million copies. I guess all those weren't "real" gamers though. No one will learn anything. ES6 will come out, be the best selling game in history and be broken as fuck just like every bethesda release.
@@devilmikey00 the system works, what do you want me to tell you?
They didn't spend over a year on this update, they spent maybe a weekend and then held off until the show came out
That's... probably what happened
Don’t underestimate how unproductive a corporation can be.
Nah bro, they didn't even spend a weekend on this, they made this crap the day before the release date.
Nice gameplay thanks for showing us gameplay
It's not that Bugthesda didn't think...
It's just that they *don't care*
Corrupted my saves. all that progress, gone. I shouldn't be surprised though.
This is the reason I haven't opened the game up since the update dropped. I have a 200+ hour file I'd rather not lose.
Just copy your file save and send it somewhere for safe keep before trying something with the update
Guess it all depends on how much you care about those previous saves or not
Jesus, were all your mods scripted? My entire game runs like a mtero/ stalker game, all of my mods besides nac x and gun perks overhaul work, still playing as my ranger alt start, I'm not doubting you in genuinely curious what kind of mod load would do that
This is Todd's revenge for us not liking Starfield.
Got back into it 3 days ago.
Didn't hear about the update.
spent a stupid amount of time modding.
I had a great build. finally ironed out the kinks and it auto updates while I am not at my computer.
I am just now figuring out how deep the problem of fixing it and trying to revert back to the previous version.
I'm pretty upset to be honest. its been years and the timing to me is absolutely crazy.
Leave it to Todd Howard to fuck up a renaissance
i saw the update which mirrors the disaster from skyrim and just uninstalled it all.
Same, I didn’t even know about the update till I got on and couldn’t play my saved game correctly smh. I’m to lazy to play again now
Should have set the game to read only so steam can’t update it and just launch through script extender
Thanks to a combined arms effort, both friends and reading online, I'm back in business.
It doesn't change the fact I had to go through all this heartache in the first place but there IS hope if you're willing to really dig into it.
Without asking and having some savvy friends I would have been out of my depth.
If anyone does decide to try and roll it back I truly wish you the best of luck.
Now I launch through the script extender and I have auto updates off on everything that is relevant, I think.
It seems strange, but after completing a new quest from the game update, I began to notice that the game periodically freezes for 0.2-0.5 seconds while walking around the Commonwealth. I specifically checked this using old saves. The check confirmed the observation: until the new quest from the update is completed, the gameplay runs smoothly (well, as usual in FO4), but after completing this quest, the game periodically freezes.
Console is only good if you don’t play with mods. I’m on Xbox and all of my mods were deleted and about 90% were unfavourited so I now have to search for all of my mods from memory. Heck Bethesda even said we’re not increasing the mod load order because it will break people’s load order and yet the update has but we don’t have an increased storage.
Starfield has shown that Bethesda alreads failed to communicate in house. Informing external teams about changes is asking a lot
It's makes the hope in Elder Scrolls 6 and Fallout 5 seem very Bleak.
@@RaikenXion For sure. Nothing suggests they've learned anything from the starfield mess and looking at their definition of "next gen" the last 10years of game development in general.
Single indie devs can create more exciting experiences with UE5, even Unity than the huge team at Bethesda with the creation engine.
They can't keep up and it seems that they've stopped caring what other devs or engines do, a long time ago.
They find out when it gets announced to the public.😂
@@florianschmoldt8659I don't see how you think they haven't learned anything considering Starfield rolled back a lot of changes Fallout 4 had that people disliked such as voiced protagonist, less choices, less dialogue in general, etc etc. Like whether you hate the game or not Starfield addresses multiple complaints about their previous game Fallout 4
@@irecordwithaphone1856 I was talking about their technical skills but fair points. Gamers still prefer 9y old Fallout over Starfield. Thanks to their stiff animation system and lifeless NPCs, Bethesda dialogues aren't great in general. I'm not surprised people want less of that. But it would be important to tell a story and care about anything.
I know Bethesda isn't Rockstar but motion capture isn't hard or expensive anymore. Maybe even some more expressive animations in dialogues or different, more interesting camera angles. Small stuff.
I get that there are many people that think "that's a classic Bethesda game" but to me, it feels old and outdated. They are stuck with their formulas and don't see how small improvements would make a huge difference.
Bethesda is a petty company when it comes to fan-created content.
that's an understatement.
because they see it as "their content that they could sell you".
@@disasterincarnate Oh yeah. When they see the numbers of people playing their old games, Bethesda reacts like people are actively stealing from them.
They killed all my Mods and completely destroyed the save files I'd had for over 5 years. I deleted the game.
I've been playing this latest edition of F4 and it's working pretty decent for me. The only problem I'm having currently is while playing the game in third-person mode, the controls get taken away from me periodically, forcing my character to move in one direction or another for a few seconds and then going back to normal. I'm not sure if this was already an issue with the game before, but it's quite annoying. Alas, this control issue does not happen while playing in first-person mode, but my wife prefers watching me play in third-person mode, so I have to deal with it when playing the game for her.
Does anyone else have this control issue within the game?
That new 40mm grenade launcher is invisible when I equip it. It's quite hilarious to see my characters hands just floating there.
"That's just a feature."
-Todd Howard probably
"KAMEHAMEHA!"
(shoots grenade from hand)
"Fuck your mods. Buy Starfield. Buy Starfield. Buy Starfield. Buy Starfield. Buy Starfield. Buy Starfield. Buy Skyrim. Buy Starfield. Buy Starfield. Buy Starfield." -Todd
Fuck Starfield, another settlement needs your help, I'll mark it on your map.
Eveytime i download a new mod my game crashes now. When I pause the game it freezes for about 5 seconds and same when I unpause. I had everything just right and now i don't want to mess with it anymore.
Keep in mind steam guys this update is labeled required and auto updates. Unfortunately, I’m not sure if not updating will block access to Bethesda store mods. So if you want to remove those you might be screwed. IMO mods should always be client side.
16 times the bugs. Never change Bethesda...
I literally started a new game and it bugged out when the vault tech guy visits your house. I opened the door but I couldn’t talk to him. He was just… staring at me.
Menacingly
Reinstalled after 3 years after watching the series, got an entire floating texture floor a foot above the ground. Mind blowing they’ve taken mods that worked and fked it up. Everyone knows FO is the adopted child but damn it’s like they’re trying to kill it off.
@@ryp1562 not only that but they also messed up the giant project of FO London. It was supposed to be released two days prior the update but they held it off. And it did pretty much break many mods sadly.
Bethesda reminding us they're miles behind the competition....
Is the automatron dlc still broken on the PlayStation?
This is the complete opposite of Cyberpunk's Edgerunners update
That’s not fair. Cyberpunk was pushing everything from graphics to customizable dongers to the very limit. Fallout 4 came out on PS4 looking like a PS3 game
I kinda figured that AMD breaking Fallout 3 and New Vegas was going to be the end of it but now Bethesda are breaking their own games…again…
How is amd breaking new vegas? So far I'm playing it on my amd 7950x & 6900xt red devil. Having no problems yet.
Thanks for the review. I took protective measures and will hold out until later. Not losing the mod set I have for some minor stuff...
They didn’t even bother adding a FOV slider. I feel like I’m 8x zoom on everything.
Bethesda doing the bare minimum as usual.
bare minimum is not bothering with an update
this is worse
Bare minimum is generous lol. It's as if they did 10 minutes of actual work and then slapped their wieners around the rest of the time.
The bare necessities 😂😂😂
And still fails
Bethesda: They promise nothing, and still manage to consistently underdeliver
Bethesda putting out a half-assed update?
I am SO shocked!
Bethesda releases bug fixes
People : Bigs were not fixed
Bethesda : we are working on fixing the fixes of the bugs
EA: If you think that’s bad you should see what we did to the sims
What EXACTLY is next gen about this update?
Bethesda is 2-3 gens behind in everything and can only be seen ironically through their own marketing
If I bought the ps4 version is it a free upgrade for the PS5 version?
