- Todd Howard
You just can't let this game die in peace.
Stop lying... no one likes this game.
Atlast 16x the light!
So... you’re saying that this game turned you into a battered wife that refuses to leave. Damn. This game is horrible.
It is exactly the same monetizing model with EOS. I don't know why nobody is talking about this. EOS and Fallout 76 are completely unplayable, because of their bogus made-up problems and the realization that the resolution is being sold to you separately. Once you know this, I just don't see how anybody can have the motivation to grind for this nonsense!
This is the most fun I’ve had with a game that I haven’t bought or even played... god bless Fallout 76
What a sad world you live in
@@icantalktrash he is not wrong tho
good channel I literally bought the game the first week it came out like a day before it got cut down to 30 bucks i was upset
@@JoeJoe-fw6ze i trust reviewers on this one bud, if even mainstream review sites hated it (along with every other reviewer), that is telling me something
@@JoeJoe-fw6ze Easily...all the controversies, reviews, all the negative publicity, shady business models....
I mean so fucking stupid to claim "you cant judge a game, you havent played", when there are TONS of other gamers and gaming sites reporting just how bad of a game it really is. So smart player/gamer at this point makes his own conclusions and stays away from crap like this....especially if one wants to send CLEAR message to Bethesda by voting with their wallet and hoping that in future they will only focus on what they are good at, purely singleplayer focused games.
Smart gamers avoid this kind of trash and thus dont have to judge shitty ass games and only play good quality games.
"Reddit would later go on to rage soon after claiming, and I repeat, 'he played it without the 2021 January patch'"- Some Random Dude in like nine months
@A guy made to trigger you reddit is the worst platform on the internet save for twitter, i fantasize at night about someone hunting down the people that run that site and completely taking over the whole site and just destroying it all together.
The fallout Reddit is the biggest collection of asskissers. If Todd Howard took a shit on stage they would still pay $60 for it.
@@Grey_Ape59 Reddit did help me find a meme I couldn't find tho.. Was it bad for me to ask for their help? :(
@@thegrayyernaut Reddit isnt that bad, lots of small communites on there that are great. Some people will dump on the whole site though because it can be like a hivemind
Lol
I just wanted to inform you the moderators of the Fallout 76 subreddit, purposely went out of their way to remove/block this video from being posted on Reddit. a few users tried to post this same video & it was instantly removed. Here what it said: "Sorry, this post has been removed by the moderators of r/fo76., Moderators remove posts from feeds for a variety of reasons, including keeping communities safe, civil, and true to their purpose."
That’s pathetic at least the anthem subreddit let his video up
I think it was the intent behind posting it into reddit that some are inclined to remove it. Though I can understand the good intentions somewhat, the intention of antagonizing Fallout 76 even further is reason enough, and it's not a good thing to do.
The truth is something people don't wish to hear. They would rather remain ignorant and pretend they're having fun than accept the truth. Dean Domino must be running the subreddit.
Reminds me of the forhonor subreddit where the mods will remove your post because it's got too much effort behind it.
Fallout 76 is not meant to be played on PC that’s one thing I’ve learned the game runs amazing on the Xbox one X though
This game is actually quite impressive because despite the odds Bethesda has actually managed to make a game less stable than New Vegas
Obsidian made New Vegas, not Bethesda
@@Eassstt He never said they did, just that it was even more broken.
@@Eassstt Which is why NV is a great Fallout game while Failout 76 is an abomination.

"Because Fallout 76 has never, ever been close enough to the level of completeness or quality to justify putting out their hands to ask for more of your cash"
That's the totality of the review right there folks, and you couldn't be anymore straight forward... or correct. Bravo.
Or for your cash at first. Its a shitty cash store at the heart of a $60 game (at launch at least)
Then just don’t fucking buy the atomic shop stuff holy shit
MasterJazz09 this is a rehashed, overused argument that doesn’t work. The game pressures you to buy things in the store. Correct? You can’t acquire them through gameplay. Clearly they’re part of the game and clearly they influence your perception of it. You want me to “just not buy it”. You want me to compromise my gaming experience by trying to avoid a system put in place to profit off of me. It’s _in_ the game. That. Makes. The. Game. Worse.
@@MasterJazz09 I'm also not gonna buy your shitty, half assed, cash grab of a game!!!!
A Budgie esrn outfits in the game dumbass the shop does not pressure you at all you have to open it at all lmao this is what I mean when you listen to a reviewer who is a hater go listen to a real review
This will probably get lost in the video, but I absolutely love how the brief analysis and recommendation comes before the in-depth review. It makes the feel like the video values my time instead of sucking watch time out of me.
You're not lost
Is this before or after the 2 minute pointless montage intro?
@@BourbonJRA pointless? it's showing that "yeah it's still a buggy piece of shit"
@@AnarchicArachnid eh. He coulda put it after the short review
@@JuicemanGravy I like to think it's part of the review. 2 minutes is really not that long compared to the rest of the video's time.
I'm starting to think that Bethesda is a company that just makes bugs, and sometimes games happen to form in them.
That would mean... that they are actually highly competent in what they're doing! *mind blown*
@@RimshotKiller If Bethesda tried to create bugs on purpose they would probably fail at that and create a perfect game by accident.
"legendary bug has mutated!"
MsJavaWolf “task failed successfully”
Emergent gameplay.... Genius!!!
The fact that this game has a mostly positive rating on steam is proof that quarantine drives people mad

It's only positive because the only people stupid enough to buy this game after all the controversy have literally the lowest standards for games.

@@lightingzz6398 No. Guys thinking they can BE girls is strange. Guys playing as virtual female characters that don't actually exist is very sane in comparison.
Dude, trying to argue with Reddit is a waste of time.
I actually enjoy playing Fallout 76 because the core gameplay loop of exploration and environmental storytelling is ridiculously fun and captivating. However, the game is incredibly flawed and reading the people on reddit defending harebrained skinnerbox schemes like locking the endgame power armor set behind at least a month worth of endgame currency grinding or defending bullshit like the existence of the scrapbox as a reward for Fallout 1st is mindblowing. The Fallout 76 subreddit has some cultlike fanatics that will defend Fallout 76 for every stupid fucking reason like they're paid by the publisher.
Honestly all gold bullion prices need to be reduced or we need to earn more from doing stuff
Oh you mean that thing that doesn't work? Yup real garbage there. Suitable for 76. Good pair.
I love it when people call "reddit" bad, like the entire site is just 10 people saying dumb shit all day. The site has almost 500 MILLION monthly users, and that's in 2020. Saying that everyone on reddit is an idiot is like saying that the entire population of Canada has the same taste in music.
@@janesmith1840 that's always how people on one social media platform criticize others on another social media platform tbh
That deathclaw slowly being blasted backwards into the ground tells me everything I need to know about fallout.
Ultimate Max Payne mode initiated?
Not fallout. Just 76.
@@PrimeHunter3195 to be fair fallout 3, 4 and new Vegas also have bugs. 76 just brings it too a whole different level
@@PrimeHunter3195 Ahh good catch, I agree
I played 3 and 4..... 4 was...............but I kept up to date with 76 and just....Jesus. I was looking for a mmo rpg, seen what it was and in 2020 you get that....naw im good lol. I don't want to hate on fallout....just this.....thing.... thanks for the likes and replys!
Can we just appreciate that Skyrim Together has been out for awhile now, is on the same engine as Fallout 76, is a mod by a group of independent coders, and is somehow *less buggy* than this?
How?
HOW?
Underrated comment (and extremely good point that people neglect to mention)
Because modders actually give a shit.
They stole code and had a huge controversy around the mod author so they're probably not the best example
@@bolt163 Even still, a small team of modders outpaced a triple-A development team in, supposedly, the same out of time (as if fo76 was actually in 100% development for 4-5 years lmao, it technically still is in development tbh). Besides, Bethesda stole code from fallout 4 to make 76 sooo...
As someone who actually plays Skyrim together, I can tell you that it may be "less" buggy, but the bugs are so huge you legitimately have to go out of your way to ignore them. The NPC duplication bug (which is extremely common) is huge. Add that along with the major desync and you're really better off waiting. NOW with that being said the modders are doing a wonderful job, I suggest all skyrim fans to check out their discord.
That Evangelion title card was excellent:
Fallout 76 Evangelion: You can (not) refund
'A more stable game that won't disconnect you as often.' Bethesda should use that in the Wastelanders promo material.
I never got a disconnect even in 30+ hour sessions
Filipine Gazolin
Good for you. That’s still not the majority of players.
@@garyth3goat431 your comment could also work as promo!
When you describe that "Fallout is many things that 76 was never designed for", you're absolutely right. Bethesda had hoped that those consequences, decision-making, and so on would be done by players. However, they failed to realize that players don't really engage with virtual worlds like they do with real worlds - typically at least. You can't expect a vast majority of your player base to be immersion roleplayers whereby they treat and react in the world as though they are the character. Why they would ever assume so is absolutely beyond me. It amounted to a level of willful blindness or no one pushing back on their leadership in any meaningful way.
People used to engage in these worlds before things like daily quests and other endless grinding loops turned these games into structured ("live") systems where you log in, do the exact same thing you done yesterday, the same thing that guy next to you is doing, and suddenly theres no mystique left and no one has time to create or participate in emergent behaviour like Barrens chat because, "ah my dungeon cooldown reset", or "I need to grind X again today to progress in the game", and no more thinking to yourself after logging out "wow, I didnt expect that to happen, I got to tell someone!".
@@canniballistic555 this is so true. The WoW template kinda destroyed the role play promise of online worlds.
Honestly the game can be immersive if they tried to focus on one single goal and skim out all the stupid designs and restrictions. I blame the project leads for mishandling this game and turning such an awesome setting with good lore into a terrible mismatch of mechanics and ideas.
@@canniballistic555 Its also endlessly more difficult to create MMO's that are all about the exploration and mystery of the world one the moment one person finds something everyone finds it. People automatically default to looking up videos on what is optimal or where is the best place to grind for this item or where to farm for the most gold per hour.
@@marcusmalone erm... no. People have always shattered immersion in online worlds. Has nothing to do with WoW or any modern game.
26:31 - "And I know it's a hard line to walk between selling things that are desireable and providing enough value for players who DON'T SPEND A CENT".
See, here's the problem: This is a PAID game. Not a Free-to-Play one. These players who "don't spend a cent" are ones that already paid the fee of entry (sometimes even the full, AAA price bethesda asks for it).
I'm gonna keep repeating until I die: MICROTRANSACTIONS HAVE NO PLACE IN PAID GAMES (especially AAA ones). Live service of not. Make the game and sell it, make your game free, or put it behind a small, fair, subscription price. Those are the only reasonable options.
They could easily make the base game offline, and charge like $20 for it, then charge $5 a month to play online.
Amen
To sum up, this dlc just like a late-coming tasty side-dish for a rotten main course.
Wow that’s an amazing simile
No the base game is actually so fun now
"Here you go.. Now pay us.."
Classic Bethesda...
@@Marcoffs83 If people enjoy it then let them play, calling a guy a moron because he enjoys it is rather childish.
@@spaceageGecko Ultimately yeah, whoever can enjoy whatever, but you can't act like it doesn't help companies like Bethesda (and garbage shovelware mobile devs) get away with things like this.

I enjoyed every minute of this video. Thorough, detailed, and informative. The quality of this review is awesome.
After you talked about all the microtransactions and that subscription service and then you were wrapping up talking about how the new update actually has some good quests and writing I was like "Maybe I should at least try it, since it's free-to-play"... IT'S STILL $40! WTF!!!!
You can get it reliably for around $10.

carlos chavez Got a brand new sealed copy from ebay for $11 including shipping
@@carloschavez-vk4by Yes, in the uk and especially in Germany (remember this was the place that was literally giving copies away) you can get them dirt cheap. But they should still be cheaper in the states since the base price of games is lower and there's a larger market place.
It's funny how they still charge $40 dollars for a game that is half-baked and includes greedy monetizations such as Fallout 1st and the Atomic Shop.
I can’t even try to give it a second chance. I get an error message saying that my trial period for the game has ended when I OWN THE GAME. Not only was I scammed into buying 76, I can’t even play it.
Grandmasterchipmonk did you accidentally download the beta or something?
Kinda asking for to get scammed when buying 76 in the first place lol
Nah I checked for that. Apparently other people are having the issue too.

Dont let the subreddit hear you, they're too busy drinking todd's bathwater

@@junkyardwulf2874 imagine being the dolt thinking Fuckup 76 has creativity
My favorite part of being subbed to Skill Up is him teasing a review, and then rolling out 4 unrelated reviews that are still really well written and enjoyable to watch.
Thank you Skill Up for giving me an honest review of the game. All the main game journalist outlets did little to showcase the actual gameplay experience (choosing to instead focus on "well it's 'better' than in 2018"), and with stunning news that it had a favorable rating on Steam, I almost got suckered into buying it.
I think for $10 (a price you can readily find the game new in) it's worth it just for story missions. It's the best rendition of a fallout rpg Bethesda has ever made, which is more sad than anything 76 has done quite frankly. If anything it helped exposed how half backed fallout 4 was.

For that price you can get way better games than this.

This game is the biggest reason why i respect Hello Games for fixing No Man's Sky instead of making it even worse and not fixing anything in years like Bethesda did with 76
It took them 3 years to fix NMS. So there's noting to really have respect for.
@@mrcampbell7590 you still have to give credit where credit is due. Fucked launch aside, they still did right by the fanbase. They handled it with grace whereas Bethesda is a scam company through and through.
@@mrcampbell7590 They probably don't even have half of the resources that Bethesda has
I am a torn on what to think of No mans sky. I do not own the game myself but I have been following it a long its journey in the news and reviews. The game is in a great state right now. But would the game be in this great state if not Hello Games could afford to take the time to fix it. Would Hello Games be able to afford it if they had not already gotten a lot of sales from No Mans Sky by "misleading" and/or "exaggerating" its features. Kinda like Bethesda did with Fallout 76 the only difference being that Hello Games have done it in a much shorter time frame.
@@daladari3469 Oh yeah definitely but w games that are AAA titles it shouldn't take 3 years to make the game playable, the same w F76. 2 years for NPC's are to long. I'm a massive fan of F76 but it took to long for something that should atleast have been a small part of the main game, like the whole responders and the BoS parts, they could have had some NPC's in them. But it's definitely a step in the right direction just as Hello games did. But I don't really have respect for companies that ship games in that state. However I do still enjoy Bot NMS and F76 even though both of the launches were, let just say shit
I am calling it, the reason most of the good stuff happens in the first 10 levels is to rope new players in so they can buy shit from the cash shop.
The hell dude, you can't play a Bethesda game without installing the unofficial patch from Nexus Mods. Everyone knows that... wait, you can't? They're too dumb to fix the same code they already broke in FO4? Oh shit...
*insert Jim's Bethesda dance here*
This, right here, I think is how most people woke up to the business practice of Bethesda games of having a core game that was good enough but relied on its fanbase to do the heavy lifting for them. And when they created a game where you couldn't do that, the veil was lifted to how shit their game development was.
Honestly the first 100 seconds is enough for me not to re-install
You should just watch some Twitch streams, and see if you like what you see.
@@ghosface353 or just not buy it and save yourself the suffering
OVERLOAD25 Honestly, after reinstalling it I have to say I am enjoying it a lot! It runs great on my high end rig and have had 0 bugs oddly. This is coming from someone who didn’t like the game at release.
@@connor040606 It's confirmed, the game works now, guys!
It’s weird because I’ve been playing the game since launch and never left it and I never experienced the glitches in the beginning
31:34 "It felt like booting up a retro game."
Hey now, don't insult retro games by comparing them to Fallout 76. Retro games don't have predatory microtransactions and most of them offer a complete, bug-free experience.
Retro games cannot be compared to today's games. This is because the games back then would have had the majority of their dev time poured into the logic of the game. The core loops, if you will. Hence why Retro games are still played today.
The issue with """"""""""""""""""AAA""""""""""""""""""""" [SHITLOAD-MORE-QUOTES-HERE]games[SHITLOAD-MORE-QUOTES-HERE] today are catered to the retarded masses that only care about graphics, and literally nothing else. That's where the dev time of the games go today, into making the pixels on the Kardashian's ass to look as much as sexually appealing as possible, and the rest of the money is poured into cocaine sniffing.
@@TheKueiJin I hate the graphics race that's developed over the past decade and a half. I remember people furious at the Microsoft's E3 conference two years ago because a lot of the games showcased didn't look like AAA cutscenes.
@@TheKueiJin those games aren't as accessible smh
Bug free? Have you seen a OOT speedrun?
I was this close to purchasing it for 40 dollars. Thank you for saving me the money. Gonna get Dreams on PS4 and call it a day
A group of dedicated fans could probably make a better Fallout game in Dreams for you to enjoy.
@Spekulatius Nice try Todd.
Dreams is infinitely more enjoyable
You know what the saddest part is? As a long time bethesda fan, having loved their games since morrowind, I would have loved this game, bugs and all, but I don't want it because I don't care for multiplayer and microtransactions.
I'm sure other bethesda fans feel the same way. Their worst mistake was alienating their core audience, in my humble opinion.
Another mistake by Bethesda was taking everything that makes a Fallout game, out of a Fallout game. The things that made Fallout 3 & NV so great and memorable were missing here
@@BigMac87963 a multiplayer was always bound to happen or are you forgetting when the OG creators were thinking about doing a fallout online before bethesda
This game, is made by the same people who made skyrim and fallout 3. Some of the greatest games ever. Let that sink in.
Seems like theyre intentionally alienating us, to make way for newer younger and more stupid fans that will allow them to monetize them. I dont think they even care about their "core audience" anymore. I would love to see their future singleplayer games sell like absolute ass and have them absolutely scrambling like they were with morrowind. But by that point it wont even matter because most of us will not take them back.
The unfortunate reality is that shitfield and the elder shit 6 will be carbon copies of failout 4 cranked up to 11 and be even more empty and vapid than it was. And they will still sell like hot cakes, its gotten to the point where i think i only keep up with gaming trends to piss myself off. The golden years are over, we are not the target audience anymore and unless youre willing to settle for absolute shite, we will never get another decent and fully complete game from them ever again.
And this goes for the entirety of the AAA gaming industry.
Im genuinely torn as to whether or not im even going to buy a next generation console and im leaning heavily on not. Atleast not until i can scrap the doe together for a high end PC to play games that came out a decade ago Ha!
This whole industry is such a joke at this point, its not even funny.
@@helenline1790 Skyrim was meh, New Vegas was were it was at.
"Absolute Smoothbrain" should be a band.
"Just cosmetic" is not an excuse for microtransactions in full price games and never will be. Cosmetics have been part of video games for decades. They act as rewards not just some random customisation. They affect your experience in a game. They may not effect physical gameplay mechanics, but they do effect the players experience in games. There is a reason why publishers and developers took them out of games and are no selling them back to you, and the reason is they know they are a key ingredient to continued enjoyment with the game, they are valuable and desirable. Fuck "Just cosmetic".
People who say 'it's just cosmetic' completely miss the point and are viewing at things from a very shallow perspective. Cosmetics matter because if they didn't, games like Fortnite wouldn't be making hundreds of millions of dollars a month on skins alone. 'Just cosmetic' just makes me roll my eyes. Cosmetic unlocks are awesome. Ive added hours of extra gameplay in Doom Eternal just trying to unlock different skins.
If it is cosmetics why do people invest in high-end monitors
I agree, sadly it seems that people accepted cosmetic monetization as a compromise since it's the lesser evil, I think that it's still a waste tho, earning a cosmetic through a quest is much better than buying it, not just because it costs money, but because it's more immersive and satisfying.
My thoughts exactly. The distinction between "cosmetic" and "pay-to-win" is mostly arbitrary regarding what's considered acceptable to sell via microtransactions. At the end of the day, they're selling us things that make the game more fun, and fun is the main reason why we're playing video games to begin with.
There's lots of people having fun simply dressing up their characters, like WoW players who farm for weeks on end just for fancy-looking armor and mounts. Hell, even Dark Souls has a thriving fashion community!
"They're just cosmetics" is not a valid excuse. You're still selling fun to people, and you need a damn good reason to do that. In free-to-play games, that's understandable. In games that are already sold at AAA prices, it's inexcusable.
Sorry it’s just cosmetics get over it

Honestly, even if Beth'sda somehow turns around and get on top of the bugs, I hope they have just one hidden room with as many safe bugs as they can find, as a museum to the fallen.

By this point getting gud is actually developing your own game, at least it’s guaranteed it’ll run better than fallout 76

stevenrama I’m going to give it to you straight 1. If Skillup was doing this review on bad internet he most likely would have disconnected as he said in the review if you even watched it all the way through 2. If you think he did this review based on “ to get views” then you’re dead wrong I’ve seen many of skillup reviews and I can tell you right now he does them out of passion and love for these games not out of hatred especially fallout 76 3. Just play Warframe it’s free and the base game actually just works

Die hard fans of bethesda: "Don't worry wastelanders will fix everything"
Todd: "About that..."
Most "die hard fans" don't complain on forums or anywhere. They play the game
@@garyth3goat431 die hard fans will reject the game and tell everyone how much of a garbage game it is and to save their money and time.
Skillup, i must apologise, i went on a short rant at you defendong FO76 at launch, i was wrong and it didnt take me long to see it as i stopped playing after about 4 weeks. Appreciate this video man, its a real shame the game will never live up to expectations. Sigh, lets say a prayer for the next elder scrolls...😥
Good on you mate. I wish more people would apologise and admit that they were previously wrong and have now learnt why they were wrong and weren’t rightly educated on the subject.
@Arick A4 I bought it today and I'm having tons of fun, optimization is garbage though. Not as many bugs in the game.
Arkhamz bought it? As in you paid a full price for this game? Willingly? Had to have been a discount or something
Arkhamz I mean I paid full price at launch for some stupid reason luckily got my refund. And now it’s free on gamepass if I ever dare to go back
@@maddog_27 Discount, not full price. Got it for half.
24:34 I hate the idea of paid cosmetics in a fully priced game from a triple A developer. They’re literally just inhibiting people’s creativity for a few extra bucks that they don’t even need.
7:00 Hits also do not register when playing Fallout 4 in exactly the same way you demonstrated in this video. Fallout 4 also suffers from terrible optimization and with a GTX 1080 + a Ryzen 3600 on an SSD, frames still drop into the 30's in some areas with ZERO mods installed.
All of these things are engine problems. Do not buy Starfield on day 1 unless you are 100% OK with experiencing these same issues in a brand new game.
All they have to do is take a couple years out of their dev cycle to rewrite that engine but nope. Eventually this will result in them no longer having any audience whatsoever, the major brunt of their audience which are the people who want the singleplayer games wont even look their direction going forward at this point. Theyre living like its still 2010 and theyre sadly mistaken.
Watching this company slowly fade into obscurity is going to be very, very cathartic.
Fallout 3 has better hit detection. And that game came out in 2008 lol. 🤣
Yep...and fallout 76 actually runs better the F4...F4 has the same fucking bugs,but no one cared...have so much more fun in 76 then in 4
I’m calling it, starfield will be even more broken than 76 on release. The engine isn’t getting younger and the games are getting more advanced. More systems, more problems
RagingUtai I don’t think that engine can be easily repurposed for a bethesda style rpg.
I see FO76 staying out of my Steam Library is still going to be a thing. Appreciate your wallet and determination to provide the game footage.
“Played this fucking game for 30 hours” 😂 your tone was so gracefully communicated through that sentence.
Thank you for giving up your time so that others don't waste theirs.
So much this ^
Very much appreciated Ralph.
U guys need to try the game for ur self its actually great now
@@syrus1233 I own the game, I bought it some time after the launch for 50%off, I also tried out the wastelanders DLC before I watched this video but he saved me from actually investing more time into it. I will play monster hunter world instead. A game where you really get bang for your buck.
Syrus I’ve put 30 hours into this game so far.
I enjoy some of it, but it’s still got issues, intrusive bugs and glitches, buggy AI, stability problems and many moments with slowdown and frame rate dipping significantly, almost ANY TIME I go into a city area or bigger town area.
Regardless if I leave a server or not.
This type of instability I haven’t seen in any other online game on my PC.
I enjoy some of it, but it’s not a great game yet.
The intro... I'm crying.
Evangelion ep9 "Both of You, Dance Like You Want to Win!" theme song😂
I'm crying in German
I love the perfectly calm, collected, thinly veiled, vitriolic bile espoused in this artistic video essay. 10/10
Man was that the most sensational funny and well thought intro ever. You deserve all the accolades for best gaming youtuber, if there are any. I laughed, came back to the start of the video, repeat. 3 times before I stopped laughing and could watch the full video. Genius, pure genius.
Damn have you watched any other game reviews?
I'm still a bit salty about the Raid incident, but I try not to hold grudges. At least he had the sense to reverse the sponsorship and apologize, so...
Justyn Zachariou my thoughts exactly.
Ofkf Djdjfk you mean other reviews by the laymen or other reviews in general? I try to watch at SkillUp, ACG and Yong Yea’s reviews for the games currently releasing...
@@victorfroes6650 Victor Froes Victor Froes I thought your comment was like satirical or something its a bit funnily over the top. I think theres much better reviewers like Joseph Anderson, Dunkey, Raycevick
14:33 you invested one 308 round into their skull for a return of three 308 rounds back, now that's what I call STONKS
Theres a bug with the harpoon gun in the game. Harpoons have a small chance of being retrieved from dead enemies. There's a flechette mod that shoots 8 mini harpoons at the cost of one harpoon. Each one of those mini harpoons has a chance of converting into a harpoon drop. You can farm harpoons by shooting dead bodies over and over again since you usually get 2-5 harpoons back for each harpoon you fire.
After all the warnings I finally tried playing this game just this week. Omg your review is spot on. What a complete train-wreck of a game. One of the worst experiences I’ve ever had in gaming. Was close to level 20 and I had to put it down for good. Horrible horrible horrible video game.
Also what scummy micro-transactions by Bethesda as well. Gaming nowadays is depressing.
Karen "Id like to speak to the overseer"
"Mostly Positive" - It's incredible how low people's standards are haha.
I was saying the same thing. How sad.
the game is great now dont believe everything youtubers say.
60 hours in and im still having a great time with wastelanders
@@Andi91 I can see how shit it is with my own eyes. It takes very little to keep some people entertained, as evidenced by this garbage game. You can have fun all you want, that doesn't mean the game isn't shit.
@@vellathewench So you can only see it with your own eyes but you don't experience it yourself to fully get an impression? The reason why Steam's ratings are mostly positive is because people there play it for the first time and pretty much did not experience all the shit in the past 1 1/2 years that 76 is known for. They enjoy what they get "now" and not what 76 was back in 2018. For all the shit Bethesda pulled in the past 2 years with it, they did improve the game over time.
Is the game great now? No but it offers a survival lite experience + Fallout Lite for a lot of people who are looking for an experience like that on Steam as they didn't want to play on another launcher. The game isn't amazing but it's fine for a budget/keyseller price.
You can’t say anything about it if you haven’t played it. Most of these bugs are server issues.
For those who might say Skill Up is only showing buggy footages to make it look like those bugs are more consistent than it actually is, he's not.
The frozen enemy bug, teleporting bug, combat range bug, weapon bug, and terrain bug literally fill the entire game up so you're experiencing one of the bugs every second you're playing. As a believer of redemption of bad-at-launch games, I can't believe they still haven't done jack shit to fix the game, and yet is still releasing paid contents and useless game mechanics.
@JIM BO To be honest, for these kind of stuff it actually depend on many factor so one person might get the bugs while others not. Like, my friend can play FO4 just fine while I encounter broken bones every ten minutes. It's not really weird that happens for each computer is different and companies spend a lot of money testing and recalibrating so everything can run smoothly in average. It's also why console and PC can have different hurdle for games.
Gamers: "this game is trash" *looks up steam sales chart* #1
Me: Sighs.
It’s almost like people enjoy the game and this review isn’t entirely truthful of the actual game 🤔
@@erikbrenner5138 It's true to skill up, people can have differing opinions.
The sale charts dont mean much, look at player stats, compare f76 20k players peak to fallout 4 almost half a million 400k peak
@@serossoras7824 and its sad that the microtransactions probably make fallout 76 more profitable as title.
@@erikbrenner5138 Idiots can feel free to like trash. Doesn't mean it's not trash.
I was expecting the ‘It Just Works’ song as the intro.
Fun fact, that hotel you paid 5 caps for a room in was actually housing cannibals and if you had slept there they would have confronted you and if you had the cannibal perk card active you could have had an unique dialogue option
Yup. That part you said at the end as well is the argument I always fall back on; the shitty, greedy decisions these corporations make would not be possible if we the people didn't constantly buy into them.
Too many people have low expectations. It's sad.
That new Steam score made me vomit a little in my mouth, the knowledge that so little can be done to "fix" things that to a vocal enough player base seem "redeemed" now.
darknight910 they deserve a FO5 game, a 300 usd special 76 edition
I actually remember you from 1 hour long monster hunter world review
rAnd0m gUy that was a great review and an even better game
My biggest problem is them saying you can't have unlimited storage then selling it. Like c'mon 90% of us play FO to become hoarders of weapons, rare items ect.
If I could store unlimited items I would play but this game is an inventory management simulator.
I know the extremists go by: "If it doesn't impact pvp it is not p2w"
but for me is: "if it impacts gameplay in any shape or form, it IS P2W"
+1
I guess that categorizes as "Pay2Convenience" *but* in the end it does boil down to this:
Selling you a solution to a problem that was intentionally worked into the game.
Let me put it under another perspective. In a SP or PvE: winning a game is either ending a game or getting to endgame. If there is a hindrance to get there and you can pay to alleviate that hindrance, it is pay2win. AAA can call it "pay for convenience" or "timer savers" or whatever name they can come up with, it is just a marketing trick to avoid backlash
(see, I can also use "pretty" words, just like those PR guys ... urghhh!)
Isn’t that make you extremist as well?
"Better writing than anything in Fallout 4", but so is Tetris.
True. I cried at the conclusion of Square Block's plotline.
The general plot of Fallout 4 is alright. It's the minutia and dialogue that's not up to snuff.
@@skipandslide it uses the exact same ending for all the factions though. Except the institute.
People complaining about fallout 4's story and i know it wasnt the best but i still see a lot of ppl arguing about which one is the best faction/companion. And they are very passionate about it.
So basically, Bethesda is going: I'm a sicko but I still want money.
You know what this review needs? Jim's "bethesda is bethetic" dance intro.
It's etched into my brain at this point
The fact that this game has a mostly positive rating on steam is proof that God is dead.
Wait, ate you serious?
l336l it’s because the only people dumb enough to pay for this shit are the ones able to review it.
It's at least proof you can buy Steams review system.
Nope Fallout has one of the most largest fanbase. Not everyone hates the new update.

Anytime I watch a SkillUp review, I feel like I'm reading a Pulitzer Prize winning writing. Dude...your reviews are the best on the internet. IGN, Polygon, EVERYONE could learn from you.
idk why but the dog thing going down the stairs without moving its legs really cracked me up lmao
This is one of the best reviews I've ever seen, totally goes against what everyone else is saying which shows how falsely positive and great everyone is making out the game now is.
The quote about poslishing a turd works very well here.
Actually this is a horrible review. He hates the game. It is impossible when someone hates something to change their opinion, even if wastelanders was perfect, if you hate something, you hate it. Some of his bullet points are flat out misinformation, such as the house he missed out on the mini encounter involved with it and making fun of the fact he is being purchased as a slave with a gun, when he is a pit fighter with a bomb collar on his neck(the reason why the slaver wouldn't care he is armed). Not every interior is instanced, and once you hit savage divide and eastward, high level enemies can spawn. This is like a review from President Trump, put out false information and act like it the truth.
It’s actually a very bad bias review he already hates the game he should have never even played it he did it for views as usual
The amount of footage here the shows how much of a buggy mess this still is I haven't seen or heard from anyone else.
He did mention some good points but there is so much still wrong with this game technically and morally
@@toolrage69 I agree that he has already made up his mind but that doesn't change the fact that this game is STILL buggy and broken. He flat out says that the wastelands update is good and that if you can look past the flaws you might just have fun. But the point of this review is to highlight the fact that all the problems that this game had have not been fixed and if your someone like me who was considering buying because you thought they were in addition to them finally adding npcs and enjoyable quests you would have been disappointed. If you want someone to lie to you and tell you this game is suddenly worth the price of admission your on the wrong channel chef, but considering you knew the details of the quest (meaning you probably have played the game already) YOU have clearly already made up your mind about how you feel and are just here to get validation from the internet. Which is just as pathetic, if not more, as releasing a biased review for clicks. At least he's getting paid for this, what does sucking Todd's dick get you I wonder?
Luke Woods he way over exaggerated the bugs he is very bias dude he looks for bugs and causes bugs for his review and clips them together like they happen every 5 seconds he is full of bullshit go listen to a fair review

Remember in Fallout 4 where you could decorate your base with all of the cool stuff you find on your adventures?
I'd find a nice looking lamp or toaster or whatever in a random building and then bring it back to my camp. Now all of that cosmetic shit is in the cash shop.

Notice how some of the most anticipated games this year are single player.
That speech at 20:46 brought a tear to my eye.
I love the world of Fallout so much
As someone who didn't even remotely enjoy vanilla Skyrim, I don't understand how people defend this company. If it wasn't for Id Software, I'd never buy another Bethesda game.
... And Arkane studios amirite
And Arkane studio !
I agree, I never understood all the hype around skyrim. I really enjoyed Fallout 3 and New Vegas but Skyrim... ugh. Needless to say I didnt have high hopes for Fallout 4 and I was absolutely right and then F76 was a dumpster fire. Let's be honest with ourselves, Bethesda hasn't made a good game since 2008 and I doubt that they will make another one anytime soon. New Elder Scrolls will also be garbage but people will buy it because of its name and Bethesda knows that so they wont put much effort into it... AGAIN!
and even doom eternal is filled with bugs, glitches and crashes
@@BillClinton228 skyrim came out at a good time. At the time deep stories and fun questing was rare.
oh, the game is still broken
who would have thought?
maybe make sure your game actually works before throwing more “content” thinking that’ll fix it
They can't fix the game. They using the same engine for all of their games, and there are bugs even from Fallout 3 that exists in Fallout 76. I mean if TES6 will be on the same engine, Bethesda can shut down for all I care.
lol you think 76 is bad about that, have you seen Ark?
This was the last place I expected to find an NGE reference... Pls never stop surprising us Ralph.
this made me revisit Ace Combat 7 to experience what a quality game can feel like
I played Fallout 76 for the first time today. I gotta admit... I enjoyed what lotto played. Although I did try and play it like an offline, single player RPG. I wish it was
Whew, for a second I was worried that Bethesda released a good product. Thank god Laymen still will have an unlimited source of memes.
Watch kevduits review of watelanders. He played the game for over 300 hours and has a much different view.
@@veryneff8411 Thay may be, but from what ive seen, it still is the same broken, unfinished, scam that was releases in 2018.
@@veryneff8411
The difference is that Wastelanders content is good, but the actual core of the game, Fallout76, is still a mess. It's not nearly as bad as last year due to the million stability patches (half of which broke things to make stuff worse), but the whole thing is not Wastelanders.
@@skipandslide Dude, Ive was very interested in this expansion so i checked all the videos i could. While on its own it may be fine, as a package it is still extremely inferior. Compare this too Hearts of Stone or Blood and Wine for the Witcher 3. They didnt nickel and dime their customers yet here Bethesda cant be bothered to change their ways. Your argument was weak or you are blind to the obvious.
@@skipandslide I hope it does eventually become good similar to No Mans Sky. Im concerned about their future titles like ES6?
Holy shit the memes are on point. Haven't had a good laugh during a review like that for quite a while. Good shit
I still remember stopping at my local game store and finding the fallout 76 steel book copy for five dollars, and that’s exactly how much this game is worth, it’s a lot more fun if you only had to pay five dollars for it
With that in mind, Starfield can eat my entire ass, and I didn’t have to pay a cent for it, that game was probably the most disappointing part of 2023 and that’s saying something
*Daily reminder* : People still defend this game.
Of course they do. People do that all the time... invest money in something and then defend their purchase even if it doesn't make sense to. I bought Fallout 4 for $40 back in late 2018, then uninstalled it the following January after getting mini-migraines from its terrible POV. I tried to like it I really did. I'm one of those few people who loves Fallout 4 (still play it), but I'm not someone who buys something like Fallout 76 just to defend it later after realizing it sucks.
