My experience playing the Fallout games is that you rarely stumble upon high level enemies without knowing that you're somewhere you probably shouldn't be. You may encounter things you can't handle yet but the world and stories gives it a context to where you almost never feel like you're backtracking. Especially in the early games you often felt out of your depth by default, so it was more about finding the few things that were even possible at a given point in your story, rather than stumbling upon a few things you couldn't do. In my experience at least.

Regarding exploration. The area around the vault is low level and the farther away you go the higher the levels get. So as long as you push outward at a moderate pace exploration is pretty organic. That said, you can frequently turn fights to your advantage if you are tactical. Pick up mines for example and save them for a rainy day. Run and find cover while kiting or separating enemies. Just use stealth to avoid enemies you can't fight. Etc. For me, the pleasure of Bethesda games is the world more than the game. The main quest is decent, but I only played it once even though I've played hundreds of hours of FO4.

You don’t have to grind to explore.. you could try something called running your ass out of there.. running away.. it works out pretty well if you know what you’re doing..

I'm super curious how they are going to explain the brotherhood. Most likely we will be seeing a detachment of maxon's Brotherhood (Fallout 4) in a new airship because of the insignias shown, but then there is the red/black color scheme also visible - so possibly they are or will become outcasts~
@@TheDigitalThreatPossible they are outcoust and these outcast get to washington where they again devided because you know idealogy and all.. Also hoping to see Enclave if not in actually story than in flashbacks would so cool
That’s one of the joys of the world of fallout is that each game is its own unique story. So you can create whatever story you want. You just have to keep in mind the lore as well.
The trick with most fallout games is to realize that limb damage is often more important than what should be vital points. Disable a head screws up the enemy aim slightly. Shoot an arm may disarm them. Shoot a leg...they die. The AI can't work around losing the legs of most things.
finally looks like ppl are understanding u don't need to re-create the wheel with video game adaptations... just lift majorly from the games. games have changed now they have such compelling lore and worlds comparable and better often to even movie one's.
Some open world games sync game world level to yours; it keeps you moving with a certain flow. And sometimes, the game gatekeeps certain areas or locations that might be hiding something that is meant for you not to experience early on the game, or for some benefit or reward that you are not able to wield (or not supposed to) yet. An example would be - if the game area is tied to a story progression that comes in a certain order of completion, so you can't beat the guys there because they are guarding a checkpoint to forward story progression. But later on, the game's story will lead you back there afterwards as you progress your game play (and progressing game play gets you leveled up to the point that you are able to engage enemies in that area.)
@@CinePals yeah - oftentimes they solve that by making the enemies you fight against that are on your level or lower yield so little to no XP that it incentivizes you to just try out the ones that can kill you in one hit 😅, buuut rewarding you with a ton of xp and loot. Some games fix this by giving you game settings to raise the whole world level to a higher tier of difficulty for everything, but the devs eventually realize that you can only achieve higher tiers by making the enemies "bullet" sponges that makes the gameplay too tedious in the end.
Man, this looks good. The sets and overall design is great. They perfectly capture the look of the games and translated it screen very well. I am intrigued by Walter Goggins' character. Lookin' good so far :)
3:50 that's not a thing for people who have watched westworld. we know who J. nolan is everytimei am about to watch some show/movie i first check the director, writer and music producer. i don't care about acting at first, that comes later as show/movie progresses. so, when i saw fallout trailer i knew what to expect since Johnathan in involved.
Sales pitch guy in the business suit and the mutant ghoul guy are the same man. FYI, ghouls don't age. He was trapped outside his vault, radiation mutated him, and he is still alive and kicking as a ghoul.
Maybe just go see how auditory will reacts if its great than they start to do new seasone to continue or expend a world with a new story who knows the possibilities is just countless
I get the aim of your question about high powered encounters at low levels.. I like it. My first playthrough of fallout 4, I spent 600 hours in game just exploring and experiencing the world building they'd put into it. Cleared locations, etc; but, 600 hours before starting the main story line. Not being able to get into specific areas early, doesn't bother me. This is a world I'm going to be in for a while and it's all part of the experience IMO. IRL there are places you can't go without clearance, access, etc. And in a world like Fallout, you expect there are going to be things far more powerful that you're going to have to work to overcome. With this particular game, the lead lived in the area and knew it before the bombs fell. So, exploring before starting gave me an understanding of locations the main character would have at least minimally had. So it felt like putting on the character just by letting myself in on some of what he already knew in world. Didn't explore the whole map. Just enough to understand roughly what the world was. Then I picked up the storyline and let the story lead me to the rest. Perfect experience.
Jonathan Nolan has been making TV shows for a while now... Person of Interest... Westworld... he's still Chris Nolan's younger brother. This new show won't change anything.
7:01 Fallout has a leveled list, so certain areas do contain higher leveled enemy's but only compared to your current level at the time of arriving there. Ntm as you level up, it gets easier and easier to kill enemies that are at a certain level above you.
I think since fallout is owned by Microsoft and the series is being made by Amazon, of course they will have a bigger budget to make all the locations, armor, props etc real Meanwhile netflix and paramount probaly dont have that much of a bigger budget for a complicated world like avatar, so they had to probably rely on the volume room and cgi
7:16 | I like it because it gives me something to work towards, I'm not particularly a fan of games that have enemies made of glass because they get boring to me after a while, except for games like Dead Rising because there's just something so satisfying about easily mowing down a group of zombies.
@@CinePals| I haven't gotten around to playing any of the MGS games yet unfortunately, they've been in my backlog for a damn long time now, I'm going to have to check them out eventually I know the series is well-beloved.
You need to either lvl up before exploring or just run like hell and avoid anything difficult in fallout (also you need lots of chems and food for health items) I personally enjoy going around and collecting items and selling them for caps, also could never get enough caps for the cool big guns!
on the level grind thing i'm on the opposite side. There should be many places you cannot go because they are too dangerous. Creatures you scream seeing and run. Level is secondary. Skill, using proper tech is more important. Level only let you take twice as many bullets or do 30% extra damage, etc. There is huge satisfaction when you get or make your first scoped rifle to use to kill enemies and finally loot their spot, etc. These insanely strong enemies make you need to work on your Power Armour, arsenal, tactics. Or just avoid them.
The production design looks like it's straight out of Fallout 3, even down to the outfits. And it seems like they nailed the upbeat naivety of the vault dwellers. They could have gone serious with it, but it seems like whoever made this knows the game and loves the game. But I guess the proof is in the pudding.
@@mistermars9534 It's basically the same color palette throughout the games from Fallout 1 onwards. Blue vault suits, green pipboy readout, yellow Vault Boy hair, Red Rocket, etc. The vibrancy usually depended on how new or undamaged the object was.
This looks good. Been years since I've been looking forward to a film/series. I hope they don't mess it up, I want to give them money if it's entertainment.
With AC Odyssey I found it best to explore by boat to start with. That way you can find out which areas are safe to land and explore further. Clear the quests in one location to level up, before moving on to explore elsewhere. Also, find one of the weapons which allows you to breathe underwater.
The airship guys you speak of are the Brotherhood of Steel. They’re the power vacuum that took over the US military equipment. They aren’t bad, but they aren’t good either. Which is one of the biggest themes in Fallout is the morality of all the factions is pretty grey.
The brotherhood isn't necessarily evil or the bad guys. All factions have evil members and good members. So it's not really a big deal that they showed the two characters together.
As to your frustrations with high difficulty scaring you off from exploration in games like Fallout and Odyssey. That is in a sense the risk with sandbox type games, but is also an issue with difficulty being scaled solely to more health. In fallout 4, they remedied it somewhat with it being rather rare for a headshot to not noticeable affect even a tough enemy, however, more likely what you encounter is the enemies rapidly mowing you down instead, or the terror of seeing a supermutant couching a mininuke under their arm as they charge full speed towards you in a suicide rush. In general the game is more about gearing yourself up, being vigilant about where you are going and avoiding overly hostile areas as you navigate the game, and it isn't so bad.
Shelters are needed! Underground and in space too! But there's no need for those where the new weapons are tested on the survivors! I'm really looking forward to the series! Fallout 4, 76 is my favorite!
I mean, in Fallout, everything wants to kill you, so yes, you can get in over your head and get yourself killed, a lot. But, there's usually a way to overcome whatever is in front of you if you're smart about it and in most cases, if you take advantage of stealth, you can avoid fights you're not ready for and still explore those areas. Basically, don't fuck with a Deathclaw until you're ready.
In the game, there's a creator like the film, at the bottom there's a alien UFO and spaceman gun,, ammo limited, but high rads to collect, need a suit, and the weapon turns things in to dust,
I agree with you on AC Odyssey. The grind was horrendous. After the 20 hr mark, I had to grind for another 20-25 hrs to even progress in the story. I don't mind grinding (a perfect example of good grinding is borderlands franchise), but in odyssey it was just too much. But atleast they made the game worth the grind in the later stages. I would encourage you to finish the story, it is a wholesome game. I would also recommend getting the DLC "fate of atlantis", it is an excellent experience.
I don't mind different zones of an open-world "fantasy" game being different levels, because it gives me something to work towards. Or, it offers a challenge to test my skills and see how far I can get. I'm excited to come back to it a little later once I'm stronger and have better gear. But I can see how it can break the immersion. Imagine if Red Dead Redemption 2 had different areas/cities you couldn't go to because the animals and random gangs are suddenly way too hard to fight. It wouldn't make any sense for that type of game, but it does work better for games less grounded in reality.
I'm hopeful, but a little skeptical at the same time. Have to see how they explain the Brotherhood's (prominent) presence. I mean, by the events of NV they're a shell of their former selves hiding out in a bunker in a secluded area too scared to venture out of the bunker except at night. Obviously an airship like that should be able to travel across the country, so maybe Maxson's group had another ship we didn't see in FO4 (or built?) and they went west. I just hope they didn't shoehorn a significant Brotherhood presence into the story "just because". But I'm a huge fan of Walton Goggins, so I'm hopeful this is good. Also hope there's some tunes from NV in there cause someone has to have spurs that jingle jangle jingle.
Assassin's Creed: Origins was my first ever Assassin's Creed game and I loved it. Couldn't get into Odyssey after finishing Origins though. I went exploring in Origins too and got ripped apart by, like, level 10 or something wolves! I just take from that though that I'm in places I've absolutely no business being in yet! 😁 I felt in Origins though that I wasn't "grinding" to level up and it just happened naturally. Gawd...I loved that game...😊
This gives me real hope for the the upcoming God of War series for how accurate this looks to the game, but its success hangs on who they announce as live action Kratos.
I think it really depends on who they have actually making the show. Jonah Nolan is top tier talent. There was a story I've seen that he mandated writers on the first season of Westworld play a certain amount of GTAV before they were allowed to actually write anything. Reason being so that they can understand what people would do when given the type of power that you have in a game like that, and the irreverence for the life of NPCs that people have (like people will just drive full speed down a sidewalk and mow people down). And I think that experience is definitely reflected in what you see on screen (in the first season at least, he was only really involved in the first).
I felt Fallout4 was pretty level balanced. I never felt the need to retreat and go grind. Well except on my first playthrough when I somehow stumbled into Quincy way too soon. That was one I will count.
Game difficulty in Bethesda games is a bit off for the normal modes IMO. Usually higher difficulty means more damage taken (by you) and way way more hit points for the bad guys. Fallout New Vegas and Fallout 4 both have a "survival" difficulty which includes hunger, thirst and more management of broken bones and diseases. That part can be a bit tedious. What is great about it though, is that weapons do WAY more damage, both to you AND to the bad guys. If you play carefully, it's entirely possible for you to clear out a high-level enemy camp with sneak attacks, sniping and stealth. It's my preferred difficulty for these games, as I think the scaling works much better this way.
I find excessive xp grinding frustrating, but I don't mind it in reasonable amounts, especially if it makes sense for the story. In the way back days of Diablo 2, getting out of the newbie zone was quite literally blocked by someone who would not let you past them until you hit level 4. There is a degree of protecting players from themselves involved in it. Devs, like tabletop game masters, design certain elements into character progress and encounters, particularly for the big story beats. They're supposed to feel like you accomplished something when you win, which requires a certain amount of build up. I get where you're coming from with the "I just shot a human in the head, he should fall over" viewpoint. It would make sense in the real world. But I live in the real world. I don't want it invading my escapism to that degree.
I hope in the series the pay homage to the glitchy items in the game and have a plant pot or something with the branches glitching through a wall “I know they embraced this as they have a plant pot doing this in the Bethesda office”. Or when something like a rad roach is shot is just starts shaking uncontrollably on the ground making loads of noise. 😅 don’t make a point of doing it just put them in the background like a Easter egg 👌🏻.
I have almost 8000 hours in Fallout 4, and everything about this feels right. Though they obviously "checked some boxes" that has nothing to do with the games or the lore, but that's what we get these days.
in fallout 3 the brotherhood of steel where good guys, and in fallout 4 could have gone either way. my lore is lacking, but there were some interactions that where definitively the bad guys coming from the west to the east
AC Odyssey is the BEST AC game hands down, a lot of fans don’t like it because they’re scared of progress lol. It’s an amazing game, got me back into AC. Did you go with Alexios or Kassandra? I went with Kassandra Only thing I don’t like is the leveling system, makes most games a drag imo but the point system doesn’t bother me as long as they’re done proportionately.
I am in the same boat with you there with Odyssey being a best game, and understandable on why fans don’t appreciate the game being more advanced than Origins. •In format, you picked wisely on that character as I played as her as well. Also the leveling system I don’t mind at all as it seems to encourage me to do better in fighting tough enemies or bosses.
That leveling system really takes the fun out of it for me but it’s still be keeping me engaged. I went with Kassandra. She’s a lot of fun as a character.
@@CinePals we got to take that the RPG era for AC games was the most interesting era for gaming that series. And I agree with Kassandra being fun, as she bring more emotions or energy than Alexios does. 😅
Regarding your Assassin's Creed comments. Attack larger XP enemies near a cliff or have them chase you to a rooftop and parry them to fall off. They will die and you receive heavy XP for yourself.
Well in AC Odyssey the problem is that Ubisoft makes the Game grindy on purpose. Because they want to sell you the permanent XP Booster from the Store.
The giant ship and the dudes in the big armor suits are the Brotherhood of Steel. They're not evil, just himbos. The bear is a Yaoi Guai, and yeah they're mutant bears, super strong. The finger f*cker, as I'm calling it, the axolotl, is a new creature, and likely based on the FEV experiments. New thing. Idk about the grindy nature of other games. I play Fallout 76, and I don't really grind too much, I most go on pilgrimages. (Freely wandering and exploring) In 76, areas are color coded to signify difficulty of said areas. Forest is Green, Ash Heap is Black, Toxic Valley is white, Savage Divide is tan, Mire is blue, and Cranberry Bog is red. The thing about Fallout is you have the freedom to choose a build that's right for you. Sure, there's meta builds, every game has them, but nothing's stopping you from just choosing a favorite weapon and playstyle and sticking to the that. The game only gets punishing if you try to Jack of All Trades things. I'll tell you, I STRUGGLED, just as you did, when I was pressured into going Heavy Gunner, and it didn't fit me at all. I gave Commando a try, and now my biggest weakness is just me being an idiot instead of the game itself. I actually have the highest DPS weapon in 76 too!
In odyssey they dont really explain this but the game is all about builds so its more an RPG so of yiu have a strong build for instance like alot of Poison build and atuff you can pretty muvh wipe anything
On your point with the feeling of discouragement of exploitation in games personally I feel it’s actually encouraging exploitation. The reason being is if you steam through point A to point Z you miss every other point along the way. If it gives you the choice to hammer on A-Z you can but it’s going to be rough. Whereas you can go all over the map dodging stuff or marking stuff for later and finding something totally unexpected as a consequence of that. For instance when fallout 3 came out I had a period of time I was able to focus on the game and I put over 1000 hours in to it and hadn’t even seen everything but I had friends who put 100 or so hours in to it completed it and had just as much fun. I even went back to it and played a different style going to different places out of normal order and it felt almost a different game. Personally I’m not as in to assassins creed that feels to much like it has a path for me the 3 franchises I enjoyed the most are fallout RDR and GTA all have more hours in them than I should say and I can go back to all at any point and still not feel board 👍🏻.
As far as killing NPCs of greatly differing levels I think it should be possible to kill them but very difficult. Yeah, headshots and things like that should be very hurtful unless they have good armor but I also imagine it's like you just getting out of soldier school and coming up to John Wick and being upset that he killed you so easily. I think in some games you're simply playing another character that grows throughout the story, not you and your expert gaming ability. Some things SHOULD be nearly impossible when you first start out. I do wish they had better ways of showing that instead of them just being bullet shields with 8000 HP. Should still be able to get in lucky shots. And just to say something about the whole Fallout thing, I think it looks awesome. I haven't been some sort of Fallout super fan or anything. I played 3 and 4 but I'm mainly in it for Vault Boy. Love that lil' guy. Super excited to see the show though. Unless the story or acting is absolutely horrible I can't really see how this can fail. Even to those unfamiliar with the games it at least seems like a really interesting concept for a show.
Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas have enemies that scale to your level better than fallout 4. The only creatures that would give you trouble would be the deathclaw, Yao gui, and maybe the giant radscorpion.
I just really appreciate that they went with practical power armor, and found a way to not make it look too impractical, they look great and move exactly how they should.
The attention to detail just in this trailer alone is amazing!

Regarding exploration. The area around the vault is low level and the farther away you go the higher the levels get. So as long as you push outward at a moderate pace exploration is pretty organic.

finally looks like ppl are understanding u don't need to re-create the wheel with video game adaptations... just lift majorly from the games. games have changed now they have such compelling lore and worlds comparable and better often to even movie one's.
Are u kidding?? It looks like trash to me
Some open world games sync game world level to yours; it keeps you moving with a certain flow. And sometimes, the game gatekeeps certain areas or locations that might be hiding something that is meant for you not to experience early on the game, or for some benefit or reward that you are not able to wield (or not supposed to) yet. An example would be - if the game area is tied to a story progression that comes in a certain order of completion, so you can't beat the guys there because they are guarding a checkpoint to forward story progression. But later on, the game's story will lead you back there afterwards as you progress your game play (and progressing game play gets you leveled up to the point that you are able to engage enemies in that area.)
I get that. Makes sense. Often times in Odyssey it’s repetitive stuff, but just soldiers with higher XP. 🤷🏻♂️
@@CinePals yeah - oftentimes they solve that by making the enemies you fight against that are on your level or lower yield so little to no XP that it incentivizes you to just try out the ones that can kill you in one hit 😅, buuut rewarding you with a ton of xp and loot.
Some games fix this by giving you game settings to raise the whole world level to a higher tier of difficulty for everything, but the devs eventually realize that you can only achieve higher tiers by making the enemies "bullet" sponges that makes the gameplay too tedious in the end.
Man, this looks good. The sets and overall design is great. They perfectly capture the look of the games and translated it screen very well. I am intrigued by Walter Goggins' character. Lookin' good so far :)
this may or may not be good but I love the fallout games so i’m definitely watching it
If it gets people interested in playing the games like TLOU did, then that's a win imo.
3:50 that's not a thing for people who have watched westworld.
we know who J. nolan is
everytimei am about to watch some show/movie i first check the director, writer and music producer. i don't care about acting at first, that comes later as show/movie progresses. so, when i saw fallout trailer i knew what to expect since Johnathan in involved.
Sales pitch guy in the business suit and the mutant ghoul guy are the same man. FYI, ghouls don't age. He was trapped outside his vault, radiation mutated him, and he is still alive and kicking as a ghoul.
I dont know much about Fallout but I am excited by Jonathan Nolan. Person Of Interest is one of my all time favourites.
The only thing I’m skeptical about is the fact that all episodes are releasing at once. Hopefully it’s not a bad sign.
It's a pretty standard thing now. I wouldn't read much into it.
Waiting for new episodes week after week is painful imo, I'm happy they're releasing them all at once.
Maybe just go see how auditory will reacts if its great than they start to do new seasone to continue or expend a world with a new story who knows the possibilities is just countless
Well, Daredevil made the same and look how amazing it was.
I get the aim of your question about high powered encounters at low levels.. I like it. My first playthrough of fallout 4, I spent 600 hours in game just exploring and experiencing the world building they'd put into it. Cleared locations, etc; but, 600 hours before starting the main story line. Not being able to get into specific areas early, doesn't bother me. This is a world I'm going to be in for a while and it's all part of the experience IMO. IRL there are places you can't go without clearance, access, etc. And in a world like Fallout, you expect there are going to be things far more powerful that you're going to have to work to overcome. With this particular game, the lead lived in the area and knew it before the bombs fell. So, exploring before starting gave me an understanding of locations the main character would have at least minimally had. So it felt like putting on the character just by letting myself in on some of what he already knew in world. Didn't explore the whole map. Just enough to understand roughly what the world was. Then I picked up the storyline and let the story lead me to the rest. Perfect experience.
Jonathan Nolan has been making TV shows for a while now... Person of Interest... Westworld... he's still Chris Nolan's younger brother. This new show won't change anything.
7:01 Fallout has a leveled list, so certain areas do contain higher leveled enemy's but only compared to your current level at the time of arriving there. Ntm as you level up, it gets easier and easier to kill enemies that are at a certain level above you.
its honestly ironic how theres been games showing vault tec reps turn into ghouls now a show is continuing its tradition
I think since fallout is owned by Microsoft and the series is being made by Amazon, of course they will have a bigger budget to make all the locations, armor, props etc real
Meanwhile netflix and paramount probaly dont have that much of a bigger budget for a complicated world like avatar, so they had to probably rely on the volume room and cgi
7:16 | I like it because it gives me something to work towards, I'm not particularly a fan of games that have enemies made of glass because they get boring to me after a while, except for games like Dead Rising because there's just something so satisfying about easily mowing down a group of zombies.
I understand what you’re saying. Did you ever play MGS V?
@@CinePals| I haven't gotten around to playing any of the MGS games yet unfortunately, they've been in my backlog for a damn long time now, I'm going to have to check them out eventually I know the series is well-beloved.
You need to either lvl up before exploring or just run like hell and avoid anything difficult in fallout (also you need lots of chems and food for health items) I personally enjoy going around and collecting items and selling them for caps, also could never get enough caps for the cool big guns!
Yeah, save often and stick to the early missions and the payout in XP is enough to add into character upgrades and other things, to get a good start.
The sooooonggggg.. "I Don't Want to Set the World on Fire"
on the level grind thing i'm on the opposite side.
There should be many places you cannot go because they are too dangerous.
Creatures you scream seeing and run.
Level is secondary. Skill, using proper tech is more important. Level only let you take twice as many bullets or do 30% extra damage, etc.
There is huge satisfaction when you get or make your first scoped rifle to use to kill enemies and finally loot their spot, etc.
These insanely strong enemies make you need to work on your Power Armour, arsenal, tactics. Or just avoid them.
The production design looks like it's straight out of Fallout 3, even down to the outfits. And it seems like they nailed the upbeat naivety of the vault dwellers. They could have gone serious with it, but it seems like whoever made this knows the game and loves the game. But I guess the proof is in the pudding.
Looks like Fallout 4
@@JohnnyZenith Fallout 4 doesn't have the growing up in the vault part.
But It does have vibrant color. Fallout 3 is almost black and white.
@@mistermars9534 It's basically the same color palette throughout the games from Fallout 1 onwards. Blue vault suits, green pipboy readout, yellow Vault Boy hair, Red Rocket, etc. The vibrancy usually depended on how new or undamaged the object was.
This looks good. Been years since I've been looking forward to a film/series. I hope they don't mess it up, I want to give them money if it's entertainment.
With AC Odyssey I found it best to explore by boat to start with. That way you can find out which areas are safe to land and explore further. Clear the quests in one location to level up, before moving on to explore elsewhere. Also, find one of the weapons which allows you to breathe underwater.
I appreciate the advice!
@@CinePals BTW you should absolutely get the Atlantis DLC for it. Great story.
The airship guys you speak of are the Brotherhood of Steel. They’re the power vacuum that took over the US military equipment. They aren’t bad, but they aren’t good either. Which is one of the biggest themes in Fallout is the morality of all the factions is pretty grey.
The brotherhood isn't necessarily evil or the bad guys. All factions have evil members and good members. So it's not really a big deal that they showed the two characters together.
As to your frustrations with high difficulty scaring you off from exploration in games like Fallout and Odyssey. That is in a sense the risk with sandbox type games, but is also an issue with difficulty being scaled solely to more health. In fallout 4, they remedied it somewhat with it being rather rare for a headshot to not noticeable affect even a tough enemy, however, more likely what you encounter is the enemies rapidly mowing you down instead, or the terror of seeing a supermutant couching a mininuke under their arm as they charge full speed towards you in a suicide rush. In general the game is more about gearing yourself up, being vigilant about where you are going and avoiding overly hostile areas as you navigate the game, and it isn't so bad.
Only the true fans get nostalgia just from the song in this trailer! Can't wait for this show! Please don't pull a Halo on us.
Shelters are needed! Underground and in space too! But there's no need for those where the new weapons are tested on the survivors! I'm really looking forward to the series! Fallout 4, 76 is my favorite!
I mean, in Fallout, everything wants to kill you, so yes, you can get in over your head and get yourself killed, a lot. But, there's usually a way to overcome whatever is in front of you if you're smart about it and in most cases, if you take advantage of stealth, you can avoid fights you're not ready for and still explore those areas. Basically, don't fuck with a Deathclaw until you're ready.
We need an IMDB browser extension that reacts how many episodes each actor appears in.
In the game, there's a creator like the film, at the bottom there's a alien UFO and spaceman gun,, ammo limited, but high rads to collect, need a suit, and the weapon turns things in to dust,
Johnathan Nolan wrote one of my favorite shows person of interest, so I have high hopes.
War... war never changes.
Just looking forward to watching Jinx from Arcane play the lead in a show.
I didn’t know that!!
I agree with you on AC Odyssey. The grind was horrendous. After the 20 hr mark, I had to grind for another 20-25 hrs to even progress in the story. I don't mind grinding (a perfect example of good grinding is borderlands franchise), but in odyssey it was just too much. But atleast they made the game worth the grind in the later stages. I would encourage you to finish the story, it is a wholesome game. I would also recommend getting the DLC "fate of atlantis", it is an excellent experience.
I don't mind different zones of an open-world "fantasy" game being different levels, because it gives me something to work towards. Or, it offers a challenge to test my skills and see how far I can get. I'm excited to come back to it a little later once I'm stronger and have better gear. But I can see how it can break the immersion. Imagine if Red Dead Redemption 2 had different areas/cities you couldn't go to because the animals and random gangs are suddenly way too hard to fight. It wouldn't make any sense for that type of game, but it does work better for games less grounded in reality.
I'm hopeful, but a little skeptical at the same time. Have to see how they explain the Brotherhood's (prominent) presence. I mean, by the events of NV they're a shell of their former selves hiding out in a bunker in a secluded area too scared to venture out of the bunker except at night. Obviously an airship like that should be able to travel across the country, so maybe Maxson's group had another ship we didn't see in FO4 (or built?) and they went west. I just hope they didn't shoehorn a significant Brotherhood presence into the story "just because". But I'm a huge fan of Walton Goggins, so I'm hopeful this is good. Also hope there's some tunes from NV in there cause someone has to have spurs that jingle jangle jingle.
nothing beats real props and set pieces
The airship is likely the Prydwen from Fallout lore.
Assassin's Creed: Origins was my first ever Assassin's Creed game and I loved it. Couldn't get into Odyssey after finishing Origins though. I went exploring in Origins too and got ripped apart by, like, level 10 or something wolves! I just take from that though that I'm in places I've absolutely no business being in yet! 😁 I felt in Origins though that I wasn't "grinding" to level up and it just happened naturally. Gawd...I loved that game...😊
I've been attacked by level 25 chickens. That's always amusing.
Feels good so far, hopefully writing makes it S+
I really hope they get the 3 people that voice everybody in fallout 3 and new Vegas in here lmao.
This gives me real hope for the the upcoming God of War series for how accurate this looks to the game, but its success hangs on who they announce as live action Kratos.
I doooo question the need for a GoW show but I am here for it
I think it really depends on who they have actually making the show. Jonah Nolan is top tier talent. There was a story I've seen that he mandated writers on the first season of Westworld play a certain amount of GTAV before they were allowed to actually write anything. Reason being so that they can understand what people would do when given the type of power that you have in a game like that, and the irreverence for the life of NPCs that people have (like people will just drive full speed down a sidewalk and mow people down). And I think that experience is definitely reflected in what you see on screen (in the first season at least, he was only really involved in the first).
with a skill buffs, good weapon, and use of sneek, I one shoted a deathclaw that was fifteen levels of above me in fallout4
Epic is all I can say. Nailed it
I felt Fallout4 was pretty level balanced. I never felt the need to retreat and go grind. Well except on my first playthrough when I somehow stumbled into Quincy way too soon. That was one I will count.
Game difficulty in Bethesda games is a bit off for the normal modes IMO. Usually higher difficulty means more damage taken (by you) and way way more hit points for the bad guys. Fallout New Vegas and Fallout 4 both have a "survival" difficulty which includes hunger, thirst and more management of broken bones and diseases. That part can be a bit tedious. What is great about it though, is that weapons do WAY more damage, both to you AND to the bad guys. If you play carefully, it's entirely possible for you to clear out a high-level enemy camp with sneak attacks, sniping and stealth. It's my preferred difficulty for these games, as I think the scaling works much better this way.
I find excessive xp grinding frustrating, but I don't mind it in reasonable amounts, especially if it makes sense for the story. In the way back days of Diablo 2, getting out of the newbie zone was quite literally blocked by someone who would not let you past them until you hit level 4. There is a degree of protecting players from themselves involved in it. Devs, like tabletop game masters, design certain elements into character progress and encounters, particularly for the big story beats. They're supposed to feel like you accomplished something when you win, which requires a certain amount of build up. I get where you're coming from with the "I just shot a human in the head, he should fall over" viewpoint. It would make sense in the real world.
But I live in the real world. I don't want it invading my escapism to that degree.
The ship is the group brother hood of steel they are a faction in the fall out series
the Nv radio hits different
Seems like pre or post apocalypse, los angeles will always have a chem problem. 😂
I would love it if they somehow put Liberty Prime in the show. It's always good for a laugh.
I hope in the series the pay homage to the glitchy items in the game and have a plant pot or something with the branches glitching through a wall “I know they embraced this as they have a plant pot doing this in the Bethesda office”. Or when something like a rad roach is shot is just starts shaking uncontrollably on the ground making loads of noise. 😅 don’t make a point of doing it just put them in the background like a Easter egg 👌🏻.
I have almost 8000 hours in Fallout 4, and everything about this feels right. Though they obviously "checked some boxes" that has nothing to do with the games or the lore, but that's what we get these days.
3:46 I think of Nolan Grayson aka Omni-Man
in fallout 3 the brotherhood of steel where good guys, and in fallout 4 could have gone either way. my lore is lacking, but there were some interactions that where definitively the bad guys coming from the west to the east
New California Republic vs The Brotherhood of Steele 2 Electric Boogaloo
I just wanted to say we have another 3 body problem trailer was just hoping you guys would check it.
AC Odyssey is the BEST AC game hands down, a lot of fans don’t like it because they’re scared of progress lol. It’s an amazing game, got me back into AC.
Did you go with Alexios or Kassandra? I went with Kassandra
Only thing I don’t like is the leveling system, makes most games a drag imo but the point system doesn’t bother me as long as they’re done proportionately.
I am in the same boat with you there with Odyssey being a best game, and understandable on why fans don’t appreciate the game being more advanced than Origins.
•In format, you picked wisely on that character as I played as her as well.
Also the leveling system I don’t mind at all as it seems to encourage me to do better in fighting tough enemies or bosses.
That leveling system really takes the fun out of it for me but it’s still be keeping me engaged. I went with Kassandra. She’s a lot of fun as a character.
@@CinePals we got to take that the RPG era for AC games was the most interesting era for gaming that series. And I agree with Kassandra being fun, as she bring more emotions or energy than Alexios does. 😅
Regarding your Assassin's Creed comments. Attack larger XP enemies near a cliff or have them chase you to a rooftop and parry them to fall off. They will die and you receive heavy XP for yourself.
I’ve been using that tactic whenever possible. But a war scene seems to make that impossible.
At least it looks like it isn't using Bethesda's graphics engine from before the dawn of creation.
Watching reaction videos for Fallout (TV) - if you smile on the cold open I'm subscribing. Hello there.
Walton Goggins is her dad calling it now
This is set 200 years after The Great War, when he was still normal and selling vaults... that would make the girl over 200 years old.
Good call! Shot where he was running with young girl when bomb went off. She made it in he did not and became a ghoul
Well in AC Odyssey the problem is that Ubisoft makes the Game grindy on purpose.
Because they want to sell you the permanent XP Booster from the Store.
I am so hyped up
The giant ship and the dudes in the big armor suits are the Brotherhood of Steel. They're not evil, just himbos.
The bear is a Yaoi Guai, and yeah they're mutant bears, super strong.
The finger f*cker, as I'm calling it, the axolotl, is a new creature, and likely based on the FEV experiments. New thing.
Idk about the grindy nature of other games. I play Fallout 76, and I don't really grind too much, I most go on pilgrimages. (Freely wandering and exploring) In 76, areas are color coded to signify difficulty of said areas. Forest is Green, Ash Heap is Black, Toxic Valley is white, Savage Divide is tan, Mire is blue, and Cranberry Bog is red.
The thing about Fallout is you have the freedom to choose a build that's right for you. Sure, there's meta builds, every game has them, but nothing's stopping you from just choosing a favorite weapon and playstyle and sticking to the that. The game only gets punishing if you try to Jack of All Trades things. I'll tell you, I STRUGGLED, just as you did, when I was pressured into going Heavy Gunner, and it didn't fit me at all. I gave Commando a try, and now my biggest weakness is just me being an idiot instead of the game itself. I actually have the highest DPS weapon in 76 too!
In odyssey they dont really explain this but the game is all about builds so its more an RPG so of yiu have a strong build for instance like alot of Poison build and atuff you can pretty muvh wipe anything
That’s actually really helpful
On your point with the feeling of discouragement of exploitation in games personally I feel it’s actually encouraging exploitation. The reason being is if you steam through point A to point Z you miss every other point along the way. If it gives you the choice to hammer on A-Z you can but it’s going to be rough. Whereas you can go all over the map dodging stuff or marking stuff for later and finding something totally unexpected as a consequence of that. For instance when fallout 3 came out I had a period of time I was able to focus on the game and I put over 1000 hours in to it and hadn’t even seen everything but I had friends who put 100 or so hours in to it completed it and had just as much fun. I even went back to it and played a different style going to different places out of normal order and it felt almost a different game. Personally I’m not as in to assassins creed that feels to much like it has a path for me the 3 franchises I enjoyed the most are fallout RDR and GTA all have more hours in them than I should say and I can go back to all at any point and still not feel board 👍🏻.
In Fallout, has a level match system whatever level you charatwe is the enimea are that level
Is it The Prydwen or another BOS mothership I wonder? Also there is no good side
what a red skull doing there
You should play Fallout 4 with and without mods. Take your time. Look up fellow UA-camrs that cover Fallout mods, lore and etc. Awesome reaction.
As far as killing NPCs of greatly differing levels I think it should be possible to kill them but very difficult. Yeah, headshots and things like that should be very hurtful unless they have good armor but I also imagine it's like you just getting out of soldier school and coming up to John Wick and being upset that he killed you so easily. I think in some games you're simply playing another character that grows throughout the story, not you and your expert gaming ability. Some things SHOULD be nearly impossible when you first start out. I do wish they had better ways of showing that instead of them just being bullet shields with 8000 HP. Should still be able to get in lucky shots.
And just to say something about the whole Fallout thing, I think it looks awesome. I haven't been some sort of Fallout super fan or anything. I played 3 and 4 but I'm mainly in it for Vault Boy. Love that lil' guy. Super excited to see the show though. Unless the story or acting is absolutely horrible I can't really see how this can fail. Even to those unfamiliar with the games it at least seems like a really interesting concept for a show.
still no super mutants or deathclaws, but i guess they can be a surprise.
Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas have enemies that scale to your level better than fallout 4. The only creatures that would give you trouble would be the deathclaw, Yao gui, and maybe the giant radscorpion.
It looks good despite some wording current year warning signs
