In the french version of the game one of the funniest glitch there is a random npc in mccaran who'll switch to german mid-dialogue and the voice is way louder than the french one so it is like a mini heart attack
Sudden angry german shouting.
@@battedbook5811 for real tho
That’s hilarious
I get how that would happen tho
I remember back in CoD WWII there was a glitch with the German announcer and it was exactly the same, you’re just vibing and all of a sudden you have this boy screaming in your ear about the enemy team building a bridge with the thickest German accent you’ve heard😂
“ZEY ARE BUILDING A BRIDGE”
@@TheLoamCourierMTB in the french version too ? because in cod WW2 even in french he does have this massively cartoonish german accent but it never switched to another language for me, and I've played that map a lot
My Italian PS3 copy of New Vegas was so cursed that little naive young me genuinely thought the parts that were bugged out, glitched etc was because “it’s just a video game, they can’t create all the things they’re talking about and I need to imagine them myself” 😂 still this managed, somehow, to become my favorite game of all times and still is to this day
Probably exactly that reason, because you imagined so much it became your world.
least intuitive and child-like wonder mind:
Also doesn’t help that Bethesda games have never played well with Sony tech.
Good, well written and immersive RPGs have a way of brining forward that way of thinking.
Uguale uguale alla mia. Neanche potevo uscire dal dialogo con Sunny al Goodsprings Saloon che crashava. Nonostante quei 5 min di gameplay il gioco mi incuriosì a tal punto da scaricarlo su pc ed è tuttora il mio gioco preferito di sempre
I used to think the doc Mitchell head spin was an intentional hallucination because of the brain surgery, and the other stuff like him floating in the air was a bug
Hahahahhah
fitting for fallout oddly enough
Jsawyer actually went on a rant about how much he loves the GECK, saying it’s the easiest engine he’s ever used to make a game in every way. Basically without the GECK he said they wouldnt have been able to release it at all.
Maybe it is just because the modding I do is super low level, but the concept of a load order that can overwrite other mods without issues amazes me. Even Higher level to the stuff I do like C# or java modding is a massive pain compared to the GECK
The Garden of Eden Creation Kit?
Isnt the "GECK" some part of Fallout 3 or something?
"GECK" is an acronym for *Garden of Eden Creation Kit* and is one of the most important items in Fallout lore, as it is a cold fusion-powered terraforming device that can reshape the nuclear wastes back into its pre-war environment. GECKs have been apart of Fallout since the beginning, with The Chosen One being sent to find one to save Arroyo, his home, in Fallout 2. There's also the Super GECK, which is presumably just a GECK but more powerful. @@FatManJackson
@@FatManJackson Garden of Eden Creation Kit :D
I still remember maybe a year or so after release, getting this game, meeting the NCR Ranger who gives you the emergency radio, and seeing him fly off into the sky and back to his home planet
then you eat it on accident :/

As someone who platted and 100%’d New Vegas on PS3 I can safely say there’s not a single game that I’ve hated and loved simultaneously at the same time as much as I do new vegas
Ps3 sucked for even Fallout 3. That system was plagued with memory leaking issues that caused games, especially Bethesda ones, to become more unstable and buggy the longer your playthrough was
@@Gameprojordan it really was only an issue with Bethesda games, most games respond fine to split memory ,in fact to this day PC, where games perform the best, uses split memory, and despite it being nearly 30 years since the creation of the creation engine, it STILL runs like piss on PC due to the split memory system, those issues on PS3 from the split memory? they exist on PC, its just that PC has so much available memory that its rare youll see it get filled up, but with modern bethesda games its common, very common, to see you memory be maxed out, the disaster that is starfield recommends 32GBs of RAM not because its some technical marval, but because Bethesda still hasn't fixed these issues to this day
I'm sorry you had to go through that. I would've never had the patience.
I did the platinium in the beginning of the year. It was a memory. I still struggle to get myself to the DLCs...
I have over 4,531 hours in New Vegas on Steam (yes my game is modded but I have the achievement enabler) and I still haven't gotten every achievement lol 😂! Same goes for Skyrim and basically every other game in my library of 148 games.
gamebyro feels like it was made for a early 2000's racing game, then it was frankensteined to run FPS games
Nah, that was Diesel.
You have not played payday 2 then, Payday 2 is exactly that.
It was NetImmerse first, it's a lot older than people think.
i wanna agree with you but it took black magic to get cars to run properly in that engine
It's actually more of a MMO engine at some point lol
With all of those bugs, you'd think the AntAgonizer was Head of QA
Based Fallout 3 reference
clever
I distinctly remember how bad the loading times got on the 360 version the more you played. It made going to the New Vegas strip absolute hell due to how many areas are sectioned off by loading screens.
The 360 version of Fallout 3 on the other hand maintained similar load times of around 5-10 seconds no matter how much you've done on a save. It's the main reason I replayed it more than New Vegas
to anyone who questions how poorly the PS3 version of Bethesda games have been, they rereleased a version of oblivion that never patched a bug in the “cure vampirism” quest. we got Skyrim dlc super late because of how much of a headache the system was to work on. I loved my PS3, but holy shit does the machine get hit with the orb of confusion for multiplat games
Apparently the issue with Bethesda games on PS3 was the CELL processor which combined the CPU and GPU into a single powerful chip unlike most consoles that have their CPU and GPU separate.
Bethesda games tend to be very CPU-heavy, meaning that they had to cap CPU usage on PS3 to prevent it from taking power from the GPU, thus causing a lot more framerate issues and crashes than on Xbox 360.
It does explain why a lot of Western third party games tended to crash more on PS3.
@@diegojose4173No, the cpu and gpu were separate chips on both ps3 and 360, if anything the 360 combined the two into a single chip in later revisions.
@@Somefool669 Lmao 19 people liking falsehoods, people are so stupid
Not the PS3s fault per se, but the developers inexperience in optimizing games for that platform. We've seen alot of games that run better on PS3 and then others that are absolute abominations because the devs didn't know how to optimize for PS3. Usually applies to PC as well.
@diegojose4173 why does there always have to be some kid in the comments trying to explain what all of us already know? I don't get it
you had me at "Doc Mitchell grapefruit technique"
Oh hey claw
I was certainly not expecting to hear abt that in this
Claw Gang 🗣🗣
hi claw
The release being caused by Bethesda telling Obsidian they only had 18 months to develop the game only for New Vegas to destroy every Bethesda made Fallout game quality wise forever will never not be funny.
Hey Fallout 4 is good, maybe not from a roleplaying perspective but as a shooter it’s supreme
Obsidian agreed to that timeline and did not have to start from scratch.
Fallout 4 is better than new vegas imo its just more fun
@@coggear1135 Gameplay wise, sure. But as an RPG, FO4 is one of the worst games in the series.
@@heksevillehero dawg fallout 4 and fallout 3 are the goats of fallout idgaf about what you say. Fallout new vegas feels like its half way finished
How do I download RAM
😅
That's the neat part. You don't
Uhhmm... I was wondering how much dedotated WAM I should have to a serVERR..?
Alt + F4
That's so wild. I never played NV on PS3 but knew it ran like ass. I did put so much time into Skyrim that It started to lag and slow down. Turns out a letter in my pocket had been replicating itself. Suffered through hour long loading screens to get to a cave in bum fuck no where I could dump them all in. As long as I never entered that cave the game ran fine. Had well over 1000 hours
This is what I would call an immersive experience. The game stepped into your reality. Genius.
Damn I had the same issue with fallout 4. Well almost. In short the game started lagging like hell at some point, because I had too many saves... I played it a lot.. and I was like 13 at the time. So dumb AF, so I thought yup 200 saves is fine :).
That’s just Todd Howard’s grand vision bro
@@PomegranatePomPomthe fact that saves affect performance in bethesda games even though those games are notorious for autosaving every 5 seconds and creating hundreds of saves is just ridiculous. Happens in every bethesda game.
Im watching while playing the game. It crashed not even 47 seconds into the video. 11/10 game.
Also I still have my original PS3 copy. A few years ago I played it without updating the game. My brother in christ it was..... spectacular
What would I have to go about doing to get to play this experience myself.
@@sonic4ever6 buy a ps3, get a disk copy of the game, NEVER update it. Play it.
"Haha, my game crashed exactly 47 seconds into the video talking about the game crashing, I'm so quirky!!!!"
@@TheScrubmuffin69 next time instead of looking like an idiot just ignore the comment
All the Benny Obsidian employees saying "Ring-a-ding baby!" in unison had me laughing so hard I almost fell out of my chair. I love your editing, and thank you so much for making this video. I've spent more time playing New Vegas than I probably have spent breathing air. It's one of my favorite games of all time, and I have so many mods for it that I think I could legally consider my PC to be a nuclear reactor. So glad I found your channel!
FNV with modern engine, actually good gunplay and actually good crafting system would be amazing honestly, even better with upgradable player house
You should probably look at Fallout 4: New Vegas. It's a mod that pretty much recreates FNV into the the Creation Engine and it looks really good.
@@StarEximus even if we take fallout 4 engine as being relesed in 2015, it doesn't make it modern. it's 9 years old. I wan't something like Source 2, maybe s&box.
@@StarEximus Sadly I was too busy with life during the discount so I missed Fo4, definitely buying it when the price goes down
Honestly, if that Fallout 3 remaster is true, they could do a Fallout New Vegas remaster as well, since both of those games are technically the same just with different mechanics.
@@StarEximus I remember looking at that a while back, Is it done?
The fact that i laughed when you just mentioned Fisto is proof that this game has altered my brain chemistry
As someone who only played back near launch on the 360 all I have to say is.. Lol rip PS3 bozos
Both have to pay to play online

I still have the PS3 PTSD from New Vegas.
And I am still playing that version, secretly hoping for a remake on PS5.
Same here. The only real downside is the 4fps glitch that forces me to turn off the ps3.
@@danielmarin6127 I can not agree more the ps3 port is so mid I love the writing and mechanics of this game but.....the gameplay??? It's not that great and is filled with bugs. Yesterday I was going up against a legion hitsqaud and one of them threw a fire grenade and as soon as the grenade exploded my game just crashed. Like I said ps3 port is mid
Trying to get the platinum trophy in fallout 3 and I am dreading fallout new Vegas
I have that PTSD. The moment I got the final trophy for New Vegas and got that Platinum, my very first one, I never touched that game ever again.
Jesus just run it 60fps on a mid range laptop instead
As a PS3 player of yore, I remember playing for the first time and finishing up my character and stepping outside of Doc Mitchell's home to see that glorious view over Goodsprings as the glare of the sunlight dimmed...then freezing. The game crashed. I took out the disk and told myself I'd give it a while to come back to it - only finished it proper years later on PC.
These issues are why we didn't get random encounters in New Vegas, I gather. The game ultimately didn't need the random seeds, but it was a noticeable loss.
It did have random events though atleast in the DLCs. Honest Hearts and Old World Blues specifically.
@@Gameprojordan No it didn't. The DLC also only had fixed spawns.
@@LocustaVampa no, HH/OWB do in fact have random spawns, but the triggers can be so close to the spawn location that they will appear right in front of you.
@@TheMotorhead30 I've never had a random spawn in FONV or any of it's DLC. Everything is scripted.
@@LocustaVampa all the exterior enemies in old world blues are random. leave the think tank for the first time and you may see a group of lobotomites, a couple Y-17 trauma harnesses, or some feral ghouls in your way to the X-2 antenna.
I must be the luckiest guy ever. I played new Vegas day one on PS3 and NEVER experienced a game breaking bug or glitch. I remember the load times being long but lots of games have that problem so it didn’t bother me.
No shot. I counted nearly 100 game crashes in my 1st playthrough of Fallout NV on PS3 alone.
@@scottsurvival6960 Sounds like you got all my crashes for me lol
I had something similar, Stalker Shadow of Chernobyl is a notoriously buggy game. But, on my first ever playthrough i only encountered one single bug, no glitches or crashes, and that was it. But every playthrough after that kept getting glitchier and glitchier. Like the game code was deteriorating or something lmao. Load times were crazy long though
The editing in this is spectacular. You've got a great sense of humor, and I see a lot of potential in seeing these jokes and gags evolve in the future. Subbed
After playing Cyberpunk after the 2.0 update, I concluded that it was the next New Vegas, and this video reinforces that since I remember the bugs it had at launch.
Edit: Jesus Christ, it's just a (very) vague comparison on similarities I got from them.
Lol no, it's not even half the rpg that new vegas is. Cyberpunk's choices are even more superficial than Fallout 4, CDPR could've made a good rpg like The Witcher 2, where your choices lead to an entirely different 2nd chapter
Cyberpunk 2077 has THE BEST combat in any game- well, to me! and that's a shame because a lot of the bugs I've faced involved Cyber Psycho NPCs
@bigswigg3631 can you elaborate on the Fallout 4 bit. I never really played it in depth
I really still to this day dislike cyberpunk, it's very shallow
Cyberpunk had a lengthy dev time, major crunch at work too and it was delayed by a few months due to covid.
It was a buggy mess at launch but nowhere near the state of FNV.
That finally explains why my 360 version of the game was noticeably much crunchier by the time I was at Hoover Dam. My favorite bug was this spaghetti radscorpion that stretched through the ground and made all this loud clattering from ragdolling. The best thing was for some reason he spawned every time I loaded into the overworld, so he was like my pet that would give me a heart attack every time I left a building.
Found the channel by watching your fallout 4 two weeks ago. I love your videos keep up the good work.
Thanks man! Appreciate the kind words.
I'd say NV's development/launch was rocky due to almost nobody at Obsidian knowing how to code Gamebryo.
It’s actually just how Obsidian operated back then.

Some of my favorite launch bugs were doc mitchell and his rotating head when he talked to you and dogs/geckos shooting their eyes when they attacked.
Incredible quality from a channel of this size
I bought this at launch and I don’t remember it being as glitchy as you claim but that was along time ago so I’m take your word for it. Keep yp the good work

This video was incredible! The most unique New Vegas content I've seen in awhile that covers such a major topic in the games history.
Truth is, the game was trash from the start. Now ain’t _that_ a kick in the head?! *#LUCKISADUMPSTAT*
Omg I have been using 3-5 rolling saves for years and totally forgot that THIS is the reason why. I just continually over wrote my oldest save because the game lagged so bad 🤣
Mate that game got you a PTSD that you picked up a ongoing triat that effects you mentalÿ on base paranoia, damn.
Good video. I'm surprise to see so few people talking about these release bugs, especially given how beloved this entry is.
0:06 Now That's Creepy
Remember the time when obsidian was approached by Disney to make a dark and gritty RPG game on the seven dwarves from Snow White as a tie in for their film equally dark?
No. I’m not making any of this up.
I think this is literally my favorite video i’ve ever viewed on youtube. The thumbnail, the intro, the jokes and comedic timing, the editing, the music, the information within it, everything is beyond stellar. I watched your fallout 4 video which was also fantastic. I subscribed within 1:38 seconds (and yes i even timed it). Fantastic job brother and please make more fallout related things, i’ll be sure to keep an eye out.
I love the video, but most importantly, I love your music choice (mad respects for putting them in the description for people).
Your editing and comedic timing are top notch lmao
To this day i still have bark spiders clipping through the ground and spazzing out when they get stuck and stretching across whatever area their in usually one or two in a dozen scorpions are like it but its real bad when a giant radscorpian gets glitched
Bethesda was pretty chill with Obsidian, but I dunno why they wanted 18 months for the game though.
Because the engine and a lot of assets were already made, they both agreed to 18 months. Avellone said that if they'd stuck to fixing and remained aware of the deadline they'd havebeen ok
@@benjaminmcgregor1250 Add to the fact Bethesda offered both devs from there team, and even offered more time to Obsidian (which they refused cause they would only get paid once the game shipped).
18 months is more than enough to make a spin-off game.
@@detectivemadoka69420 Not if your Workin With Bethesda

It is odd how often people claim New Vegas has superb factional depth and moral greyness but also immediately condemn the Legion as cartoon villains. I mean, I agree, but I think it goes to show that the factions of New Vegas aren't really THAT engaging. The NCR is presented as essentially vanilla good guys and the Legion is just straight up evil. The only real options are NCR vs. Mr. House, which is interesting, but not really any more so than the Brotherhood of Steel vs. the Institute in Fallout 4, often bemoaned as having an awful faction system.
Well, welcome to the fallout community, where lies, hypocrisy and double standards are pretty much the norm.
The legion does have some depth, there are NPCs that do make some cases for good they’ve brought (for example Raoul saying raiders are nearly nonexistent in Arizona and various traders saying Legion territory is some of the safest in the wasteland.)
I think it’s a case of time limitations set by Bethesda meaning they couldn’t flesh out the legion as much coupled with the fact they wanted to have a clear “evil” faction that lead to the Legion coming off as cartoonishly evil.
Tell me you haven’t played without telling me you haven’t played
well I'm pretty sure its been said a lot (at this point can't remember if its just fans making stuff up or not) but a lot was cut from the legion unfortunately so a lot of depth form them is missing, but I wouldn't say they're outright villains depending on your perspective. Sure they definitely do evil and bad things, but they have the safest trade routes, their people (outside the slaves) are rather well taken care of, and their military is a powerhouse.
The NCR also aren't really good guys, they are riddled with corruption and ineptitude at every turn, you also have I think it was bitter springs (why are there like 4 places name *insert* springs) where they butchered and murdered a bunch of innocents, they're willing to completely take from people that are just existing to improve themselves (helios power). I wouldn't say they're vanilla good guys.
House is honestly probably closer to a good guy than the NCR is, he is for sure not a good guy, but I'd put him closer. He is definitely selfish and probably a bit power hungry, but he wants his city to be prosperous, he wants to reignite the advancements in technology. I mean he could be completely ruthless but decides not to be, look at when the wire in his casino gets caught, he doesn't just wipe out the followers of the apocalypse when he could, easily. House is a realist most of the time, he knows that you're gonna have to make hard decision in a place like the wastes, he knows he is not the good guy, and he doesn't try to be, he protects what he can and what he loves, his city for him to rule over and make a new peaceful world. Which if you look at new vegas, it is rather peaceful and prosperous, you can't deny that he has done a good job building up from near nuclear annihilation, and that it definitely was going to take some harsher methods. Being the nice guy isn't always the right option when you have to be a leader, sometimes (most of the time) a leader has to be harsh, cold, and ruthless so that those behind him and/or under him can grow and be safe.
The brotherhood and institute in fallout 4 are definitely far more cartoony than the fallout new vegas factions.
The Legion has far more depth than Bethesda-era Enclave and Institute have combined, and they weren't even fully fleshed out due to time constraints. Originally Obsidian wanted you to be able to travel into Arizona itself and visit the Legion capital city "Flag Staff" where you'd be able to see the life of the Legion outside of the Frontlines of war, which wasn't going to be nearly as vicious and brutal as they're depicted in NV itself
Another Default Cheesecake banger
Despite these bugs I still burnt out my 360 copy around release. I don’t understand how I had more patience as a child.
Awesome video.
Was very shocked to see you only have a little over 10k subs. Production quality is amazing. Hope to see more from you.
It's obsidians fault why they can't ever make a fallout game again not besthedas,while I think new vegas is the second best fallout game behind 2-I'm not gonna shit on bestheda for giving 3 or 4 former interplay employees a chance to work on one of their IPs again.
Bethesda also gave them some of their own dev teams to help Obsidian, they also wanted to give them more time but they refused. It's 100% Obsidian's fault.

A game with 18 months dev time was buggy at launch? I can’t believe it!
Thankfully games with 10 years development time come out with no bugs nowadays, right?
… right?
Well, they crammed too much stuff in Starfield instead of keeping it small like maybe 4 big planets, they decided "oooooohhh" and yeah, bugs crawled out.
*Creation Engine did not like that*
Here's a fun fact, the whole old game engine thing is pretty much a myth more or less depending on who you talk to about it, it's just for people to go "bethesda bad" and nothing else, when in reality they're just extremely misinformed and anyone with game development knowledge knows that.
The common argument is that "They built on the old engine therefore it's basically the same as the old engine" when in reality that's just a gross misunderstanding.
The truth is that game devs build on old engines all the time, and only very few actually create their own. Valve based their source 2 engine on source 1, reusing code so hard that they were able to port stuff from source 1 into source 2. Source 1 was made from goldsrc and had the same treatment, goldsrc is a modified quake engine but would you say that half life alyx is using the same engine as quake? You would if you believed in the myth that bethesdas engine is the same as gamebryo.
Bethesda basically had the exact same way of doing things, they used gamebryo, built on it to make creation engine, then did it again for creation engine 2, see the similarities? Game engines are designed to be built off of, and they can be made to serve very different uses. You could turn source 2 into unreal engine 6 if you wanted to spend that much time on it, because that's how it works.
CD project red did the same thing with red engine. Red engine for the witcher 2 was linear focused, it struggled in creating large open world environments and that's why the witcher 2 is so linear. For red engine 2 they introduced physics to upgrade the witcher 2 for the ports but it still used red engine 1 as the base. Then finally for the witcher 3 they made the red engine 3 which handled open worlds amazingly despite somehow using the last version as a base so hard that you'd have a hard time telling the 2 engines apart in development if you just saw a screenshot of it. I wouldn't say the red engine 1 is the same as 3 and that they're somehow using a decade old engine, and neither should you because that's just not how engines are.
Randomly came across this channel today and already comfortably watched a good chunk of your videos. I love your style of video Essays and I love the content you produce! Genuinely keep it up! :) Subscribed!
the bugs, oh the bugs
or should i say radroaches
Bugs, bugs everywhere, wonderful tasty bugs.
No time for you, talk to Ravel. He doesn't like the bugs, not even with mead.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again. If New Vegas was released today with all the bugs and problems it had during launch, it would be even more hated than Fallout 76 ever was.
Ironically fallout 76 is probably the best fallout game now but because of the launch hate its Called the worst, which is kinda insane
@@qwart22 no bro. Go think about what you did
@@t3hSpAdEs No he's right. Gameplay wise it is the best. Combine that with its excellent community, being spoiled for choice in equipment and armor, base building, and free expansions, it really is one of the best now. Sure, it's no match for New Vegas's story, but it beats New Vegas in so many other ways.
A lot of people don’t care to play the game now because it’s an old game at this point.
"You can Follows-Chalk them"
Im sorry but that was brilliant
Lol really good and funny editing style, subbed
This game is goat of Fallout series, and that's just a fact. Fallout 1 and 2 set us up. 3 brought us into the realm of 3D, and while it had its problems, it was a crucial step. New Vegas took 3 and pushed the formula to a new level of perfection. Fallout 4 looked at new vegas and asked, "How can i make this as braindead as possible?" Im sorry. Ive been playing games for over 20 years. Ive got plenty of references for what a good game is. I cannot bring myself to slog through the surface level shit that is Fallout 4. I pity people who are silly enough to see a few fancy visual effects, and it just = 10/10 gameplay. The graphics are the only good thing about it. Everything else is surface level. It's unforgivable to discover over 50 locations for every single one to be 5 rooms and a generic loot box.
"Ive got plenty of references for what a good game is" You clearly don't if you somehow consider 4 a bad game because it's "braindead" while NV's crashing issues and bugs they still haven't fixed even to this day make it "perfection", even tho objectively that makes it a worse game no matter how you look at it...
I see Fallout 4 as a good game, it's more of a different take on Fallout, but I still see Fallout 2 and New Vegas as the definitive Fallout games. That doesn't stop me from enjoying all the other Fallout games, I just like Fallout 4's gameplay and exploration more, there's a ton more things in Fallout 4 I love.
Facts my brother
@@V-Jes The game literally spawned dogmeat on my face even though I've never met the animal in game because the story was written as if there is no universe I don't meet the dog in an RPG with multi- million dollar budget. I also cant kill all of the annoying characters because the devs were too lazy to write any branching plotlines. Every Location boils down to generic enemies with generic loot at the end. Every place that there should be interesting settlements, there's a workbench instead so I can spawn a bunch of generic NPC's with extra steps. People who say the building is deep actually don't play games that focus on resource management. Because if you did, you'd realize how little choice there is and how barebones everything about it is. Even the interface for it is wack. Feels like shit. While I will admit the combat is an improvement, its not 10/10 combat. Bethesda's usual design of bullet-spongy, generic enemies are as present and take no for-thought to eliminate. After forcing myself to go through over 50 locations, I realized that I probably already experienced everything the game has to offer. What a sad excuse an an entry to the series. Ill take buggy ass freedom any day of the week kid. I literally don't give a fuck about graphics. Its icing on the cake. Cool if its good. Doesn't really matter if its bad as long as the gameplay is good. Gameplay is braindead as fuck though. Literally hold W and kill the same shit for hours. No depth. No Lore. Literally one of the most disappointing and unappetizing Experiences I've ever had. If I wanted to play a survival game Id actually go play one designed to be a survival game with good mechanics. You literally have shit taste if you like Fallout 4 and you need to go play other shit. They made combat marginally more Punchy and kids lost their minds. We lost the rest of the game for that trash. Big F
@it2spooky4me79 it's cool that you like the game. I have no problem with that at all. While I can't say that I really enjoy what they put together ( other games do what they tried to do way better ), it's fine that you like it. As a big fan of the series and lore and a big game critique, it was quite the disservice to the source material to gut it and trend chase. While I enjoy the marginally improved gunplay and new mechanics (even though a lot of them are half baked), the experience is destroyed for me when I realize how little agency I have. Overuse of the essential tag on NPC feels really lazy, especially in a multi-million dollar production where its focus is to be RPG. It's like they are using it as a "get out of jail free card" to not have to write branching narratives. It was really not excusable when the previous game gave you the foundation of a narrative that could be completed no matter how the player behaves. New vegas took 18 months. 4 years to make. There's just such a drastic lack or quality in everything in the game where it counts. The set pieces can often times be great, and the graphics look awesome. But that gets bogged down when these set pieces are all super generic with the same enemy types. It's super jarring how every building is a circular path that leads back to the beginning with the same stupid generic loot chest at the end. It's such a waste. Like the boats in the river were super awesome. Until I got to them, and there were only like 4 enemies and the generic loot box. That sums up the whole game pretty much. They even spawned dogmeat on my face because the narrative is so railroaded Nick pretended that he knew him even tho my PC has never seen this dog. Then literally spawned it on my head 😒. Multi-million dollar production btw
I can see you worked hard on this vid. Nice job dude
I was dying the entire time lmaoooo
Earned yourself a sub my man. keep it up!
*Imagine having this many bugs and STILL being an objectively better Fallout than F3, F4, and F76 ever will be.*
Agreed…. Out of all of them F3 is probably the closest
Be careful saying something so objectively true. TV brains won’t be happy
Fo76 is better in everything other than story, fnv is honestly the worst 3d fallout game
@@qwart22anyone who thinks 76 is good cannot be taken seriously, go stand in the corner
@@qwart22The condition at launch of 76 was still worse than NV. The game was even more incomplete. That being said, I don’t consider NV all that great as a game either.
Imagine what would have happened if Obsidian had more than just 18 months of time... Bethesda robbed us of pure heaven.
It wasn't really Bethesda, it was a agreement, Obsidian did it to themselves, Bethesda have them some help and offered them more time, but Obsidian refused it.
@@it2spooky4me79 wtf are you talking about? Bethesda didnt offer them more time. You pulled that out of your bum.
@@FatManJackson no, I pulled that out of a interview from a dev from Obsidian.
There was this whole interview about FNV and Obsidian and Bethesda, I'm not trying to defend anyone here, they're all at faults, but the interview says it all.
@@it2spooky4me79 Yeah, that never happened. They had to cut plenty of content because of the deadline they were given, if they were offered an extension on the development they would have taken it. In fact, they asked for an extension and were denied. Whatever interview you're referencing doesn't exist.
@@jres1995 no, they cut most of the content because of the PS3 and Xbox 360 limitations, they didn't ask for more, Obsidian themselves denied more time, you should probably listen to what the guys at Obsidian are saying, and not your own biased headcanon.
this video was so entertaining, keep it up man!!
editing is funny as hell keep it up
cheesecake coming in with a new fallout video essay banger lets goooooooo
God tier content, keep going my man!!
Dude this video was fucking hilarious super creative but also well informing can’t wait to see your channel grow.
Fire vid my boy. Youre going places
Great video! Entertaining, had me giggling. New sub!
This is the kind of video that deserves millions of views.
default, this was a beautiful video. you earned my sub
This is such a great video, hope the algorithm promotes this more
Very good video! Thanks man
Great fucking video. The research and editing is S tier
This channel needs significantly more subs and views what the hell
Interesting and super fun videos, hope I'll find other similar content within your channel 🎉😂
This video was fucking amazing 🤣 great work man 👏🏻
Man, I remember being so excited to play this game when it dropped, only to give up early on after some of the weirder PS3 stuff caused some serious issues. Glad I eventually came back and gave it another run, cause it is probably still my favorite Fallout game
This channel is going to explode one day. I'm gonna be an OG.
I was watching this video in the background while I was looking for the star bottle caps. My game decided to crash my whole PC. This is truly the new vegas experience.
Love to see a small content creator put the work in and be better than most top level content creators.
Great edits bro
i really like the editing in this video.
This video is really well-made/written. Ave
just found your channel on a weed induced journey.
great work, you got my sub, keep it up bro!
16:58 idk why but that split second edit of kurt angles face on the deathclaw is fucking hilarious
great video all around btw
I was here before this man gained 10k subs. your shit is quality bro thank you
Algorithms blessed me, just found your channel and love your videos. *subscribed*
as frustrating as bugs are to this day, theres smth so nostalgic about the game deciding to go haywire
12:50 that was hilarious 🤣 my kind of humor lol, the cutoff was perfect!
I am in shock that you currently only have 11k subs. Enjoy your long youtube career cuz you are about to pop off.
Another thing to remember is that this was 2010, so it was still the norm to expect a game to work day one. A lot of people were still playing games offline, so if a game needed day one updates, it was a major red flag, and still considered unacceptable. Nobody old enough to buy / rent the game themselves had this notion that it'd be playable after launch because there was still the expectation for it to work AT launch.
One thing that is really fucked is how Obisidian was promissed bonuses if the game had a 85 score on metacritc. They got 84 and so didn't receive them. Obisidian later had to fire a bunch of their employees and some people link that to the bonuses being denied but I'm not sure that was the case.
Also some things to add here in defense of Bethesda and Gamebryo:
Bethesda actually greatly helped the development of new vegas and the creation kit (bethesda's modification of gamebryo) that's the main reasons why the game actually came out on time.
People calling the engine old and bad makes no sense since IDTech (the engine that made doom 2016) still uses code from quake and nobody seems to complain about it or the Source engine for example (made from the gold src 1998 that also uses code from quake btw). JSawyer himself talked about the Creation Kit and said "There's no way in hell that our team could have made Fallout New Vegas without that tool." and also complemented how fast they were able to implement and test the game.
For the schizos: I'm leaning how to make my own engine and I cannot play either fallout 3 or 4 without total conversion mods.
I think it doesn't really help that Obsidian developers had to learn a new engine, and only had 18 months to do it.
For example, this isn't Fallout related but falls under the same problem, one of the Call of Duty Dev Studios, Treyarch had to switch from their engine which was T9 to the IW9 engine to help work on CoD Vanguard, they only had like under a year to learn/finish the game, and the result was a disaster, the game launched with more bugs than a Bethesda game, the zombies they worked on didn't even have the most basic of mechanics, there was NO pause feature on solo/offline play.
