Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 сер 2016
- A documentary, chronicling the creation and continuation of the Fallout franchise. From their inspiration, to fan backlash; see how the Fallout series has changed from a top-down tactical-RPG, to an open world FPS with RPG elements. Learn about the failings of Interplay and the to some heroism of Bethesda. We hope you enjoy this documentary.
Be sure to check out the Chronicles channel, give him a big thanks for writing and editing this one!: goo.gl/QSY889 - Ігри
I can't believe it...
He went the whole video without saying "War. War never changes."
'Cause he was too busy mispronouncing "nuclear"...
And pronouncing "Permeate" as "Perminate", lol.
HE DID HOW COULD HE
Your profile picture really shows how you feel on this subject
This is great stuff. Long term Fallout fan here. Very informative film. Even for someone with lots of knowledge on the franchise. Thanks for the hard work!
the mo you know
Git fuckd
Fallout: New Vegas is one of of my most favourite games of all time. Just a masterpiece. I couldn't imagine how great the game would've been if Chris Avellone and his team got more time.
Yeah, I was kinda dissapointed with how small Vegas is but no I understand why. They had to cut a lot of stuff because of the lack of time. Bethesda shouldnt have given them more time. The game would've been even beter
if they had time to polish it and add more of the content they obviously had planned (too many locations that were kinda empty but seemed like they had purpose) it would have been so epic
Agreed. Vegas would have been EPIC! But they would have also shown up BETHESDA far more than they already did with their FAR better game despite this impossible development cycle timeframe. I would honestly still play it if the team was reunited and given as much time they needed to realize their full vision even if its on that ancient engine. Until New Vegas, I really didn’t think I’d ever get to play another “real” Fallout game. NV is like the final bow from Black Isle and deserves to be fully completed at some point similarly to the Fallout 2 restoration project.
Chris has stated that the time presented was fairly normal for an average game development cycle.
Luckily New Vegas add-on packs were also pretty good, and production values were quite excellent.
Currently playing New Vegas again. But this time trying out DLC's, which I missed many years ago.
You should have ended it with: "Fallout itself may change, for better or worse. But war, war never changes."
No comments yet? Well All 245 others who liked this comment are NI/B//B/ER FA/B//B/ETS
i think the perfect ending would've been: war, war never changes - game franchises do, sometimes even to their worse
Memes never change either.
But men do and the roads they walk.
Pintkonan thats said by the guy who uhh did ‘fallout isn’t fallout’ or at least he said something like
‘War never changes but game design does’
The Fallout lore created with almost literally bare hands, in six months.
Who the hell thought FNV was a failure? Maybe financially? The game was, and still is, amazing.
Mike The Gamer it was next to unplayable apparently when it came out. To be fair even now myself and many of my friends find it hard to play as it is still very buggy
I had to add a few mods on to make it fully stable, download 4Gb patcher, Anti Stuttering Patch, and the Anti-Crash Patch.
and dont forget the ugly mouse input lag fix ..... aaaaand the Unofficial Patch
Agreed. I played it for the first time this year and was amazed.
so people complained about all those glitches in NV? i got falllout 3 and nv both when they came out and i have to say fallout 3 is a much crashier and more bug ridden game by far even at NV's release fallout 3 was much much glitchier in current patch mind you
"Find the men who killed you"
You didn't die in the intro.
Tbf, it sounds more dramatic than "find the dude who failed to kill you"
@@JCOdrjones Fair
Fallout 5 bring back low blows #BringBackDickShots
great documentary. I really hope Obsidian gets a chance again, NV is still my favorite FO ever.
I would rather them do their own thing. a spiritual successor. free of Bethesdas reins
so go play wasteland then
i did pest control for one of the directors at Bethesda and i told him that new vegas was better than 3 even with all the bugs and freezeing. this was before i realized obsidian did new vegas lol
It’s definitely my favorite FO game, but then again, I haven’t played 1 and 2. Really wish I had a PC.
Dustin R lol so it's your fault that Bethesda hates obsidian then
"Masterful Storytelling"
Shows Fallout 4 footage.
Fallout 4 is just a Fallout game from supermutant perspective. "Go. Kill. Loot. Sell."
Couldn’t say it better
@@nastykhan7746 fallout: dumb-dumb edition.
@@user-kc2fu8iw3v super mutants arent actually dumb-dumbs,only mutants who were originally impure humans,but you can thank bethestard for that
@@mayman4255 i know, it all depends on the host. a normal, clean human transforms into an intelligent super mutant, while a human who was exposed to (or possibly inherited from his ancestors) the earlier, radiation-damaged form of fev and developed antibodies to it rejects certain changes of proper fev and becomes dumb. some apparently become so dumb they aren't even able to use weapons and are given mini nukes, told to go kill themselves.
Well, that was an hour well spent! An enthusiastic and well constructed narration of fallout game development. As a gamer who was PC gaming in the 90's let me tell you about nostalgia, it's great for saying "back in our day" or "they don't know they're born!" But back then I fell asleep and dreamed of of vast roaming worlds with 3D graphics that even had no textures on it! A modded FO4 on a modern system will quite literally, if done right, blow your mind. I always remind myself as I game these days how lucky I am to have lived long enough to see even the realisation we have today! Be that by screen, or by VR, feel privileged to adopt it, and stop waiting for the next best thing. Embrace what you have, that's what 80's and 90's gamers did. And that's why nostalgia is high.
patrolling Boston almost makes you wish you where playing new vegas
ncr trooper
Not really any almost about it actually. New Vegas is by far the best of the first person Fallout games and it isn't even close.
ncr trooper no it dosnt it makes me glad I'm not
Chris Whinery 100% agree
ncr trooper Almost?
NYOOK-LEE-ER. NYOOK! LEE! ER!
NUCLEAR!
New Clear
I think mispronouncing the name of one of the greatest game studios in the history was worse... Troika, not Trokya. :d
I was wondering how many times he was going to make this glaring mistake... nucular is not a word!
Chief it's new clear
FUT-UREEEEE FUTUREEEEEE!
You know it's funny I can never get enough of fallout it's one of the few games that I just love hearing everything I can about it and learing all I can and the show was amazing thank you so much it was really good, and I loved every second. 😁😁😁😁
jamie george why can't more people in these comments be like you? Thank you for the positive nature you have brought. I am right there with you love hearing, watching and playing anything Fallout related.
Fallout 3's story execution was laughably inept. You need only look at the ending and their desire to have a heroic sacrifice to a high radiation area, even though they'd made it a plot point that one of NPCs the player could bring with him (Fawkes the supermutant) was completely immune to radiation. When pressed as to why this NPC doesn't just resolve everything himself, he suddenly develops a sense of spiritual destiny and declares this is the player's time.
you didn't have to sacrifice yourself though... there were multiple endings. I agree however that Fawkes should have been an option.
You had to sacrifice yourself or sacrifice Lyons. The ending was literally so indefensible that the devs actually retconned it with DLC, allowing you to either do the obvious and send fawkes (or one of the new dlc npcs in instead) or just survive going in yourself (somehow).
There were actually at least 3 companions in the original game that could have done it without hurting themselves. Fawkes is a supermutant. Sergeant RL-3 is a robot. Charon is a ghoul. All 3 immune to radiation. Also, Clover is a slave companion for evil characters who is brainwashed to basically be in love with whoever owns her, an evil character should be able to order her to sacrifice herself instead. The fact that fully half of the companions in the game don't make sense with the ending they foisted on the player in the original conclusion of the game is just one of many, many pieces of evidence in the case for Bethesda's writers being literally retarded.
MATN's Jon made a fantastic argument that the ending of F3 is just stupid. Essentially it went that: Liam Neeson wanted to give clean water to everyone. The Enclave want to give free water to everyone. Only one of those two actually had the ability to distribute, so why do you kill tbe Enclave and sacrifice yoursrlf to bring clean water to everyone? Because the Brotherhood want you to, as it would be a kick to the Enclave.
The enclave wanted to kill every being that has been irradiated by poisoning the water supply, wich obviously includes every human beeing living in the capital wasteland.
I, for one, love these longer videos.
And not even as podcasts, something that I actually sit down to watch, they're amazing!
Thank you to both Chronicles, for his amazing work, and Lockstin for being the voice for this episode, and for introducing me to the former of the duo.
Man this Pokemon theory is getting even more complicated.
Wow you are just so clever aren't you?
+Tea slurper I was being sarcastic.
How do you guys think it'll end? Also, how do you think The End will come in Pokemon? I have a few ideas myself, but I'd like to hear from ALL OF YOU!
Hey PieGuy, fancy seeing you here. Big fan!
this theory ends with the world being destroyed by a nuclear Holocaust in the year 2077 cause by team skull
I hate the fact Bethesda won't let obsidian work on another fallout just because they were 1 POINT away from the score they wanted. Also the main reason it had one less that it It needed is because they were given so little time and tbh they made a better game in such a short time. I wish they were given longer and maybe if they did obsidian could of made another great fallout game
Thats not it, they said that they would give Obsidian more money to fix parts of FNV if they got a 85, they wont let other studios work on fallout because they say that the studio is big enough to develop fallout on their own
this is actually feature length, give us a Blu Ray!
That's illegal. I can't do that.
+Chronicles How is it illegal?
Blu-Ray is Copyrighted. He'd have to get a deal
+Michael Arthurs True. But if AVGN can get a Blu-Ray compilation of his episodes, it can't possibly be that hard to do.
Blue Blu ray
Great stuff. You are on of the the few Fallout Fans that sees and saw that every Fallout Title is special and great in its own way. Thumbs up!
you probably meant S.P.E.C.I.A.L
I actually never had problems with new Vegas but I had dozens of problems with 3
fallout 3 was less buggy until the game of the year edition came out, fallout new vegas was the opposite being buggier than fallout 3 until the ultimate edition came out
You must have bought it at least half a year after release then..
Taytay Stark me too
fallout 3 on ps3 was the most buggy version too. i forced myself through it and got pretty much every trophy because i loved it but my god it crashed every hour and sometimes every 10 minutes . im glad i got a gaming PC. lol
Yeah fallout 3 was so buggy Bethesda even made a gag character clipping in the ground. lol
As a long time Fallout fan... *grabs popcorn* Dis gun b gud!
same here
pulls a chare besides ya! ya want sum muntch & stuff?
azza preatee new fan, grabz irradiated beverage, imma enjoi lernin more!
Mathmachine same even for newbies like me
retro kid 64 retro kid more like retro trash
Watching this at work and man I just wan to go home play video games and drink coffee.
I love how the complexity goes up and then the console iterations come around and they dumb it down. Speaks volumes about where we're at in gaming today. I miss proper degree level complexity in games.
Surely you’re ONLY talking about fallout 3 fallout 4 and fallout 76 yea?
That's down to console hardware limitations. The PC, at one point, was by and large the most powerful hardware most consumers could buy. Development teams working on PC only games usually leveraged that to make games prettier AND more mechanically complex. However, around the time of the PS2 and Xbox more money was made selling your games on consoles. A lot of people didn't, and to a degree still don't, like the complexity of speccing a PC, and consoles were starting to get games that looked pretty enough in comparison to PC games. So people bought a console rather than a gaming PC. This really took off around the time of the PS3 and Xbox 360. Interestingly, it wasn't really the CPU that contained console games at that time, but RAM. The consoles had a really, REALLY low amount of memory because it was relatively expensive at that time and that constant is what led to a lot of games being pared down. By the time the PS4 and Xbox One came around prices of RAM dropped a lot, and the move toward an architecture that more closely resembled a traditional PC let developers make the more expensive creations they wanted. The PS3 only had 512 Mb! And it cost over $600 at release! It's kind of amazing that the PS3 was able to pull off a lot of the games at the time with such little memory headroom to maneuver. Now that the PS5 and Xbox Series X are out, and are basically nearly indistinguishable from a regular PC, it'll be interesting to see what the industry can do.
Fallout NV issa love child.
I hope for Fallout Idaho, following the Khans and more tribals being featured. Making the wasteland more savage so to speak.
IT'S NUCLEAR, NOT NUCULAR. FOR THE LOVE OF EVERYTHING, FOR FUCK'S SAKE.
Clandestine Internet Guy NEE-Clee-Er.
NEE-Clee-Er???? or...... New-Clear...
Thanks for this comment, gonna skip watching this video since "nuclear" has to be in it a lot
Some people pronounce some words differently man calm down. Give Lockstin a break man
This is what everybody can call "content". Excelent vídeo, 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Oh...the innocence...the un-stained time prior 76...
41:18
Mr. House’s look has changed a lot, hasn’t it?
I really wish that New Vegas had more development time.
It's sad what happened to the franchise... I love Fallout, grew up with it, but FO4 was a major kick in the nuts from bethesda... It's not Fallout in a ways that made Fallout.... y'know... Fallout. The absence of karma system was a major deal for me, because I could go on Commonwealth - wide killing spree and noone would lift a finger. Another thing that I didn't like is that it wasn't really a RPG game, but more of a open world FPS where you shoot practically everything that moves, unless it's story related (and thus devs made it immortal, because they don't trust that we wouldn't kill everything, as I said earlier)... and don't even make me start on that entire settlement bullshit. But mods are good, that's just about everything that's good in that game... for me at least.
They should return to the original. FO4 isn't dark at all, its like a walk on a sunny Sunday afternoon, a cloud or two but nothing you would worry about. Fallout 1 was like trying to explore an abandoned factory on the not so friendly side of the town with a broken flashlight at night. Wish i could forget about this game just so i could discover it all over again.
nailed it, know the feeling about wanting to forget it.
I feel you with the rediscover thing. Played it inside-out, so even if I take years and years of break, still can remember most things.
Which is clearly a sign of how awesome it is, really.
spidermann5000 The story is pretty damn dark
spidermann5000 yeah. Because having your child stolen wife killed right in front of you isnt dark enough. Because a vault doomed to be poisoned for generations isn't dark enough. How many fallout fans does it take to screw in a lightbulb 1 to screw it in another one to complain it isnt dark enough.
Bryson Chatman Fallout 4 still doesn’t have a dark atmosphere. Deaths are casual as hell and it seems like characters don’t even care due to the god awful voice acting and facial animations.
I really don't understand why so many people are so infatuated so that they refuse to criticize anything about Fallout 4...
It's a great, immersive ride for 4 days, and then the artificial decor falls apart.
It is a simulator of a perversion of self in a crisis....
>colorful and original characters
>in Fallout 3
What even
This guy never understood what Fallout 1 and 2 were all about.
Sachi Preston Garvey: " WERE COLORFUL CHARACTERS TOO! ANOTHER SETTLEMENT NEEDS YOUR HELP! SEE WERE INTERESTING TOO!!"
Preston Garvey is a more annoying version of Lucas Simms
MacCready is a less annoying version of himself
Father looks a lot like the father from Fallout 3.
Tunnel Snakes were turned into the Atom Cats
the quest to find your father is replaced with a quest to find your son and everyone calls him Father.
Yeah bethesda made a mess out of Fallout 4
>using meme arrows
Go back /v/ermin
>meme arrows
k
And here we are at Fallout 4 where decisions does not matter at all.
you're forgetting we're all living in a period where even your left toenail has rights and can be offended by what you say. Controversial topics such as slavery, prostitution, etc. from the previous games would not have flown past the "Im-offended" brigade. Hopefully fallout 5 or maybe Obsidian can release something that is not rainbow colored.
Responses:
Yes
No (Yes)
Sarcastic (Yes)
What?
I downloaded abduction and slavery mod right after installation of fallout 4. :D
Welcome to the club. :)
both fallout 3 and 4 are garbage fallout games.
Such an awesome video thank you lockstin!
If I must reiterate what Lockstin said in the first 45 seconds... ahem. Chronicles is not a Lockstin or Gnoggin based series, its mine. Originally we uploaded the series to this channel when he had the hub channel idea going last year, however, that was actually hindering his channel in the long run. Now the Chronicles of Gaming goes directly to my channel every single week. Lockstin still voices a majority of the series on there weekly with Fire Emblem and Tales being some new ones we've developed. Part of our deal means that the feature length documentaries for whatever series he voices now go up here. This, for example, is a 6 part series combined into an hour long doc. So as we said at the very beginning we invite you to come over to the Chronicles channel to learn even more about video game history. We promise that it'll be awesome.
huh... welp, this is some good heresy, ill give this document a 8.4/10
Yo Mammy
Great doc. BUT PLEASE USE YOUR REAL VOICE
Jacob L Um Lockstin did it. Did you not read the comment.
What do you want a cookie
14:23 "troy-kia" games LOL
that aside, solid video, would have liked references
I am loving all the longer videos your putting out, good work Lockstin.
"Finally in the right hands" ...yeeeeaaaahhhhNO uh definitely no.
This one is oddly pro-bethesda, anti-obsidian. Most fans of the series prefer the ones done by interplay/blackisle/obsidian. They consistenly offer richer experiences and more intricate storytelling and player choice consequences. This video would have you believe Bethesda did no wrong by and large, and only elevated the art more than incompetent interplay ever could.
Victor Gan I agree, its comes off like the series was better off with Bethesda then Interplay/Black Isle studios. Even though f1 & 2 had much better gameplay and story telling. Bethesda's Fallout has the look not the feel. The resesrch put in for this documentary comes off lazy, we all know F3 so called "choices" are half ass compared to the originals.
To be fair, they did save the franchise from oblivion. I personally don't think I would have even known Fallout existed if not for Bethesda, so I am in fact quite grateful to them.
Victor Gan I'm a competitive FPS gamer, previously Halo and now Destiny 1/2, and I've never played a Fallout game, so I found this video and watched it in its entirety...
From a neutral standpoint he didn't really take any sides. Just sounds like one company screwed the pooch with poor business models and workplace ethics while one company took over and saved the franchise.
KeepThoseEyesOpen Not only that, it fails to mention that a lot of the bugs NV had fallout 3 also had. But with NV its a bit more understandable. I had no idea it only had a year of development time compared to 4 years that F3 got. Hell, I had no idea F3 got 4 years. With how crappy the game looked and ran, i thought it was developed in a year.
TBH i despise bethesda, and learning this made me despise them even more.
I honestly prefer Bethesda version better, but I think that is because I played Skyrim first.
Stories of franchises are always interesting to watch!
Nice video, Lockstin!
It's our video actually.
Oh, sorry for not mentioning you too.
You deserve credit too! You did an awesome job!
This was awesome and objective. I saw this as a suggested video and became hesitant that it would be yet another video that just hates on FO4 but it really just comes off like a regular and enjoyable documentary. Great job, man!
I love that the clip you chose to use during the words "even sometimes breaking the fourth wall" was of a vault or something with out its fourth wall.
Cheeky. Lol.
This is a work of art! Loved this so much, hats off to you!
very well put together doc, bro. Really cool
And then 76 came
And the fallout franchise finally Rested In Peace
I will have to watch this after I come home from work! I'm excited!
Black Isle and Looking Glass. RIP my friends. Rip indeed.
"Fallout finally seemed to be in the right hands"
> Bethesda
HAHAHAHA!
cr4yv3n OBSIDIAN! *Cough* *Cough*
Would EA be better?
AGS363 Yeah honestly while Bethesa isn't as creative as interplay or obsidian, they allowed fallout to thrive and keep it's lore mostly the same
I agree, it could've been much worse. The gripes I have with Bethesda's Fallouts are minor in the bigger picture.
Yeah but Troika were going to make Fallout 3 and their version of it would likely be great considering their history and employees. Meanwhile Bethesda outbid them and Troika went the way of the dodo because of this.
I am currently on my 7th or 100th play through on new vegas hard to tell but its one of my favorite of the fallout series and is the main reason i became a fan
really really good job! This was so fun to watch and my head is buzzing with information :D
I feel bad this guy worked so hard on this and it got 35,000 views...
Maybe it's a metaphor for Fallout itself
To be honest, the opening is kind of boring. He gives us a crash course on the Cold War and how vacuum tubes work, but we really don't need any of that to understand Fallout. It's not what we came to see.
Honestly, this is my second time watching this video. The first time, I actually turned it off because he took so long to get to what I came to see: A documentary about Fallout!
Also, he doesn't seem to understand the basic premise of Fallout or doesn't explain it well. The Fallout Universe being an alternate universe that diverges from ours sometime after WW2, it being the Future imagined in the 40's and 50's.
It's not about the views, It's about the experience. This guy loves Fallout enough to make a documentary and that alone should speak to more people than simple views. Hell I guarantee people from Bethesda, Black Isle, Interplay and Obsidian have watched this, and I hope they felt moved to know that this guy actually put time in to do this. Plus in many regards, this guy is now a documentary maker and can call himself that.
Cause he says bullshit.
15:48 wow bongs survived the apocalypse who would have thunk it
For a LONG time Fallout franchise fan... i loved this. I have saved it to my favorites, and plan on rewatching it. Well done, and thank you.
Great documentary. As a long time fan this quenches my thirst for information. Thanks a lot.
I jut got my hands on a Fallout 3 Survival Edition! :)
Interplay: Definition of development hell.
If you got Shoddycast Storyteller for this that would have been amazing.
Regarding graphics in those late 80s, early 90s RPGs, no one cared about the map graphics as long as they were legible. Instead the portraits were what gave character to the surroundings. It was a bit like collecting trading cards, and you couldn't wait to see the next portrait to find out how the mobs you had been fighting for the last half hour looked. It sounds a little weird when I write it now, but this was actually one of the biggest factors in driving the player on along, obviously, with leveling, story and loot.
It's also interesting to me that the idea for what became Fallout was antiquated before they could even make it. 1988 was still the Cold War and probably more or less insane people in power on both sides. 1995 was post-Cold War and no one talked about nuclear war anymore.
Exactly 1 hour long. Good job team.
and 46 seconds
Jacob Carter The intro was literally 46 seconds long.
***** oh
no, the intro is about 44 seconds long
Thanks! It certainly took a lot of effort and months to make but it's finally here.
I rather play Tactics than 76 change my mind
Wow! Incredible documentary, this is television level good.
Small team starts making a game, one person is amazingly talented and/or gifted and does a ton of work, title goes gold, restructuring happens, the whole original team or just that one guy leaves in a huff. It seems like this is just what always happens... XD
"see how the Fallout series has changed from a top-down tactical-RPG, to an open world FPS with RPG elements"
Not gonna lie: Reading that sentence kinda hurt...
Valtharr VERY LIGHT RPG elements mind you. Especially with Fallout 4...
Bro did you even play New Vegas? That game is full of RPG elements.
KoDan that's because Bethesda didn't make new Vegas, a talented studio did. Bethesda isn't capable of making something as good as new Vegas. obsidian had 18 months to make nv and after 7 years all Bethesda has to show for themselves is fallout 4. pathetic.
irllcd13 they had all Bethesda's assist, engine, props etc etc, the longest and hardest part of game development was done for them, please please climb out of Obsidians ass, the games was good, great even, but that level of fan boy-ism is just sad, it wouldn't have existed without Bethesda, and its obvious a games spin off made after the main game would have added features, nv is like a glorified Mod for fallout3
irllcd13 also, you seem to assume the 7 years before fallout4s release was 7 years of full on development, it wasn't, they were working on and with other things, if you don't like Bethesda, fine, but fallout wouldn't exist today without Bethesda, nor would NV exist without fallout3
Love Fallout new Vegas they should have kept the Prisoner character from Van Buren though. I need more Obsidian Fallout though :(
I feel like interplay is one of the few game companies that we consider the “Anakin Skywalker” of the game industry
The research and production behind is is amazing, well done!
i cant stop playing fallout..
When it comes to the PC version of each game, Fallout 4's score on Metacritic is 84, just like New Vegas before it. Oh the irony.
Absolutely amazing documentary, literally made me tear up at some parts!
I have talked with the original creator of Fallout. We talked for a long time, he sold the franchise in 2000. I played Fallout when it first came out in 1996. Hope someday they make it into and MMORPG like they did with World of Warcraft. OOO! I remember when Bard's Tale came out. I am 46 so I have the luxury of having played all the original games. This editorial is cool. I remember all these games. Tunnel and Trolls, Star Frontiers, MERPS(Lord of the Rings), Castle Wolfenstein, GURPS, Shadow Run, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Battle tech and of course D&D. I played them all in high school and in role playing book form.
FO1 was released in 1997.
"Nuc-you-ler. It's pronounced nuc-you-ler." - Homer Simpson
I never understand how critics and so called fallout fans could have looked past the bad writing and story, the repetitive gameplay, the nearly nonexistent rpg elements, lack of choices, the removal of the core elements of the fallout franchise, and the questionable game design choices for Fallout 4.
If you like playing Fallout 4 and it's also you're first fallout game, then good for you because I'm not the one to judge. However, imagine a game franchise you love all your life ever since you were first introduced but then you noticed that everything you loved about got replaced by a game mechanic that goes everything against the previous games stood for and now it was just like any other games that felt like it was meant to appeal to casuals while alienating its own fanbase in the process.
This, I think most of the people who really love Fallout 4 are new comers to the series. As a long time fan since the first game, It was a disappointment. I hated it.
Thats is number 4 I hate, not the first one.
Probably becouse we already know the games is never going back to be a Real awesome RPG after Fallout 2. So, we have Fallout 3 a bad RPG and a bad FPS. And now we have Fallout 4. A very bad RPG.... but at least is a good FPS.
I´m not counting New Vegas becouse it wasn´t made by bethesda. For real fans, following the Fallout universe from the first game, that´s the real FALLOUT 3.
Cant agree more.
What annoys me a bit is: Every time i tell people Fallout is my favorite RPG of all time they think i am talking about F3 / 4 (as if Fallout 1 or 2 never existed -.-). Then they start to talk about how cool F3 / 4 (sometime NV) is.
Then i tell them why i dislike F3 / 4.
Then they really confused.
Then i tell them how F 1 & 2 worked what all that differences are...
Then they try to defend "their" Fallout ;)
Then i put it like that: Lets assume your favorite game is Civilization and all of the sudden they make a shooter out of it or the other way around they take Counter Strike and make a peaceful city building game out of it.
They cant regret anymore that i as fan of the old Fallout titles have a right to be pi**** ;) (cause guess how they would hate a Fallout 5 that would be more like the originals including isometric view , round based combat etc etc.).
Prometheus Or like your favorite RTS/RPG is Syndicate and EA make a Syndicate FPS.... oh wait, that already happen.... :P
There you have the best example to tell them.
wow! this was incredibly made . much props
I'm in awe with the quality of this genuine documentary. Well done.
ahhh, the goood old memories :). now, 20 years later i still love fallout 1 and 2, alot more then 3, NV and 4th.
New Vegas is the GOAT and I will not elaborate.
Great video man. Always love to find a new gaming documentarian. I’ve actually been thinking about making videos like this for a long time, I just can’t get the fire under my ass. Videos like yours remind me to start writing, at the very least.
fallout 76 and fallout tactics: are an example of how fallout is not meant as a group game
tactics was a good game no matter what people say not a fallout 2 but still good I had fun with it
I just finished Fallout BoS for PS2. It was acceptable too.
Listen, I’ve heard people say the first step is admitting it, so please admit:
“Fallout Tactics was a fuckup”
What's with all these massive videos nowadays?
Well this is my video so Lockstin didn't have to do any of the editing or writing like his massive Pokemon project. Its 6 short videos combined into this one large documentary as is the fate of any series we cover over on my channel like Fire Emblem or Tales. Fallout 4: Nuka World is also releasing today so we felt it was the perfect time to release it to ride the hype wave.
The new UA-cam system pretty much demands long videos
My comment above but yes. True, true.
I did not see the comment when I wrote mine, sorry
Mike Fluff No worries my friend.
This is really well done!
Even though Bethesda has had it’s ups and downs (Fallout 4, creation club, etc) this documentary still makes you appreciate them. I love watching this hoping Bethesda can repair themselves for this franchise. My dream for Bethesda is to finish Van Bueren with its original writers, but a man can dream
oui. every fallout is great in its own way
Not 4, With the exception of graphics
And right below me you can see the destroyers of optimism. I agree with you scooby, each game has elements people enjoy.
Fallout 4 isn't bad, it may not go down as the best ever, but it introduces the series to alot of new players and new fans. And because of that, people get interested and wanna play the first two.
Fallout 3 poisoned the rpg genre.i only enjoyed it as a kid 1 2 and newvegas are for adults and games that intellectually for adults don't sell
4 did well combat, look, world space, companion, weapon modification, mechanic, survival mode, and mod support wise.
this is good, though I disagree that fallout4 gets easy the enemies scale pretty well
After watching this to the end while working on a massive fallout mod, I hope Beth calls us up and says, 'hey, we saw this New California thing you made. You should come hang out."
I don't get the Bethesda hate. It's immature and frivolous. Are F3 and F4 the RPGs the originals were that inspired me to make a huge mo for several years? No. But I still loved F3. Haven't touched F4 but I've seen enough to envy the gameplay. With a new engine (Unreal?) Fallout 5 really needs to add the RPG back in, give it purpose, revisit California, and tell a culturally relevant story around the settlement building and survival mechanics on the edge of a world that's still dying, and social narratives that are starting to hit too close to home. Let the players express their real world anxieties in their entertainment, and make it tangibly mean something.
From there the mechanics are great. The world building is outstanding. And the other ideas came out really well. Not the end all game to end all games, but a damn good one.
Good video, and even though I have been a Fallout fan since day 1 I still learned a fair bit I had never been aware of.
Fallout 2 was buggy but it was absolutely amazing. Im still playing it to this day
Fallout 4 sold so much because people were so starved for a new Fallout game they pre ordered it the moment Bethesda announced the damn thing. People pre ordered/bought Fallout 4 because they expected 4 to be a perfected 3 and New Vegas which was a perfectly reasonable thing to expect from a company such as Bethesda. If only people knew what kind of Game Fallout 4 will be before release it wouldn't sell nearly as much.
SeboTrzyDe3D: Not only that, but Hype sold it.
I played Fallout 1,2,3, New Vegas and 4. FNV is still my favourite. I liked the old one, but everytime I want to start a new game, I remember how every start is boring as you can't hit anything and combat can last for hour. I always try for a non lethal solution as it is most of the time the quickest way to do a quest.
I had the luck to play F NV after it was patched (I actually waited a lot before buying it, as I was not convinced by F 3) and god do I love this game. 200 hours, played all the faction, played all add on. It was the best mixt between the old fallout sensation (with an amazing new lore connecting with the ancient) and the new bethesda combat system.
I can't play F 3 anymore because, paradoxally, it is buggy as hell. I have bought the GOTY version and I can barely pass the vault section. And it's not like I want to try again as the early part (your birth, when you're a baby, the birthday, the test) is loooong and boring. I'm sure there's a mod to avoid to skip most of it.
F 4 is not a bad game, but it's a terrible RPG. 4 dialogues options, most of the time being "yes no question sarcastic answer". Felt like most building to explore were just excuse to loot unique stuff. The crafting is nice, but I found boring to have to save a location every ten minutes, and that there's no autonomy coming from settlement. I also feel like the loading screen are getting longer and longer, which was not the case when it was released. Same impression with Skyrim.
Anyway, your video was nicely done, I learned a lot about Interplay and Black Isle. So much opportunities wasted... I hope Obsidian will do a new Fallout. Some people are actually modding FNV in F4. I can't wait to test it.
Dude ...
Like.... I remember when I used to watch History Channel and it still had quality and content.
This video makes me think we need a History Channel for videogames.
My compliments.
FALLOUT NEW VEAGS IS THE BEST FALLOUT
I think an argument could be made for Fallout 2 depending on how you feel about pop culture references. But it's a close call, New Vegas was fantastic.
There is a fan-made mode that cuts out self refferential refferences out of FO2, which makes game nearly perfect.
N o Yup, but it was a bit buggy and had some problems with frame rate drops. It could have been more polished, although it was/is the best Fallout game so far.
YESSSSS
Oh and the fallout 3 dlcs are sexy as fuk
it's pronounced "nuclear," GW!
With Skyrim and Fallout 4 bringing so much money for Bethesda, I really hope that with Fallout 5 they'll strive more for a deeper, more critically acclaimed game.
No, there aren’t even any human NPCs
Ever since FO3 was released Ive wanted to be play it on a handheld device and finally my dreams came true with the steam deck. First two games i bought was FO3 and FONV and two days ago i finally took the plunge and bought FO76 and they all play like a dream. Next week I’m gonna buy FO4. The steam deck is now my console of choice as having a wife that sadly bedbound 90% of the time i can lay next to her and she can watch whatever she wants while playing games on her phone and i can dive deep into everything Fallout
The amount of times Nuclear is said and mispronounced makes my brain hurt :')
27:56 ...and then came Bethesda and...OH MY GOD NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
My ranking of the main line games:
1. Fallout: New Vegas
2. Fallout 2
3. Fallout 3
4. Fallout 1
5. Fallout 4
great video! should have a million plus views!
