So a new Fallout show comes out today and I thought while I'm still ahead of the curve I'd give my ranking of the mainline games. Don't let Todd Howard see this.
@@jordanvoskampreally? I thought the prewar opening was really well done and thought the set up for the rest of the season well. I definitely thought it felt like it fit in the fallout universe
@@jordanvoskamp ik what you mean but you gotta hear me out. I finished it today and tbh its not an amazinggggg show but if your really into fallout it's defiantly worth the watch. Especially because they drop some new super interesting lore that makes a big difference in the fallout universe.
I swear I was about to comment something to this effect! I was thinking more like, "One of my favorite musicians on the platform ranks Fallout games, hell yeah!" But, you've beat me to the punch so I'll just leave it here for the hell of it.
Fallout 3 is about a vault dweller finding their father Fallout 4 is about a vault dweller finding their son who’s called father Fallout show is about a vault dweller finding their father Stellar creativity from Bethesda
I think the reason fallout 4 dialogue is so small compared to other games is because of the voiced protagonist, imagine having to voice all the protagonist dialogue in fallout new vegas...
@@iitsCarml "not really simpler." Voice actors get laid to talk. Company pays voice actors to talk. Pay more for more talk. It literally is that simple.
@captainawf2341 now figure out now to integrate all those voice lines into the game, how to localize for multiple languages, how to prevent audio files from bloating the game, and ensuring that the voices sound decent enough to an audience.
Ye I feel like goofing off for a irl week equal of time before being like oh ye quests is cool non limiting but a timer puts that real urgency in the actually player
fallout 76 might not be perfect, but i have so many fond memories of this game, meeting high levels who are super nice, exploring the beautiful world, theres so much to love about this game, and im super upset that it didnt have as much time in the oven as it needed at launch because now the legacy it left is still attached to the game all these years later
Best memory is when I started the beta. As soon as I exited my room I heard a guy go "Hello, is anyone in this f***ing vault." Ended up playing with him for the rest of the beta. PugleTheGreat, wherever you are, I hope you're doing good.
true, still remember those first launch days, i even bring a cousin with me to play along, we were so dissapointed... bugs everywhere, not a single npc, not really a story, just.... a massive world with...nothing interesting in it...we drop it after a couple of hours, i know now a days the game is better....but still, those memories, make me still avoid that game, ill stick to fallout 4 for now, untill a fallout 5 comes out
@@thecitrine1675aside from the certain DLC masterpiece of all time, the other ones felt like they belong in a better game. A better fallout game unfortunately
Automatons alone improves fallout 4 like tenfold. Far harbor is overrated but a definite improvement from the main game, nuka world is fun but is even worse than the main game narratively. Those things considered new vegas still has the best dlc and fallout 4 is still garbage
The fallout franchise has so much potential and it’s upsetting that it’s Bethesda that has it because they aren’t the same team that made Skyrim. Starfield disappointed me more than Cyberpunk because at least that game had a rock solid foundation in a VERY interesting world.
The most disappointing thing about Starfield and Fallout 76, is Bethesda wasted all their time and money on two games nobody really wanted, and pushed back the games everyone actually wanted by more than a decade.
I'm not excited at all for Elden scrolls or Fallout sequel with what they shown with Starfield. Simply embarrassing. Worst of all the loading screen is a nightmare, After all the years of open worlds with not as much Loading screen playing Bethesda games is such a horrendous experience.
@@JasonEllingsworth the fact we still dont have another TES game, and then fallout 5 is still going to be 2 years behind TES VI is really sad... Starfield could have been fine ig? you have fantasy, post apocalyptic and then sci-fi outer space makes sense to try to capitalize on. But it made a huge hit to the IPs they already had..
What makes the Railroad funny to me is that almost every playthrough I've watched, they will kill them so they don't have to wait for tinker tom to decode the Courser Chip because of how long he takes.
Fallout 3 will always hold a special place in my heart It was one of the first games i ever played, and i loved almost every bit of it I probably played through the game a dozen times
i agree fallout 3 was where i looked for every settlement and masscred everyone n everything in the waste lands for 1000s of hours was a fun game fallout new vegas was to plain and flat for me after fo3
@@lVladness I am so glad im not the only one with that opinion,Both involve roughly the same amount of walking yet Fallout 3s are much more fun to walk through (and sometimes get caught in the middle of sheer fucking chaos)
Another thing about the Yes-Man ending is that it's so secretly sinister, especially with the final lines in the game if you go their route. Yes-man hints and nudges the entire game about the overall level of his AI sentience and while it's been waved away by the game's creator, I can't help to think that we as the Courier essentially spent the entire game thinking we'd be the King/Queen of New Vegas when in actuality we're bringing about a Terminator world. It's like that's one of the doomsday theories about AI, not that we'll see apocalypse by having the robots become self-aware and determine we're obsolete, but the more likely scenario is that the robots will take advantage of human weakness and folly and use us to destroy ourselves. When I first heard that (from the Ordinary Things YT channel on the subject) I immediately had a brain blast as to why the Yes-man writing was actually so incredibly, incredibly brilliant. Mostly, because of how well Yes-man fools you into thinking THEY'RE working for YOU.
Yhe issue with the theory, is the ending slides don't hint at it going bad for the courier. That's one of my few issues with Vegas. It's the only fallout where it feels like the main character can actually win completely. The other games all have a bittersweet victory where some kind of sacrifice happens.
@@whoruslupercal1891 Yeah, we see you, Yes-Man lol. Thought you were slick (Also, that's presupposing Yes-man is a normal securitron with normal securitron programming)
@@kyleellis1825 I mean, it's in the video. The ending of the game if you go the Yes-man route shows that the Mojave descends into immediate chaos. It's not like it goes years and years (or perhaps months?) into the future after how Yes-man says they're going away for 'awhile' to make themselves 'more assertive'. I don't know how long it's going to take Yes-man to do what they say they're going to do, I personally like how open-ended and indeterminate those literal final dialogue lines of the game are before the ending slides. But the point suffices, when you DON'T do what Yes-man recommends (like what House orders you to do, destroy all surrounding factions) before the 2nd Hoover Dam battle it sounds disappointed, riding the edge of their programming. When you DO do his dirty work, no other way to put it, it sounds pleased and makes it seem like you're doing yourself a favor. Not to mention how he has clearly defined opinions on all these groups and repeatedly reminds you how important the platinum chip is and how they need it - Yes-man is secretly AI fully realized and they are DANGEROUS.
In Fallout 3 you gain Speech Options based upon your character's build, going beyond the basic Speech Skill, many of which are "hidden" unless you possess the requisite specs. Heck, there's companions that will only join you if you're Good, Neutral or Bad.
There's so few of them in Fallout 3 people don't even notice, are are then amazed when New Vegas has skill checks in nearly every dialogue sequence. And the Karma system in Fallout 3 is hilariously bad. If you do 3 quests in Megaton you'll immediately have mercenaries on your ass in the open world because you're such a "good" guy for fixing the plumbing and helping Moira out.
@@escalatingbarbarism5096 I've fallen more in love with this franchise, and so much less in love with this vocal crybaby minority sect of the fanbase. I guess it's just a symptom of growing popularity. Well the NV and classics elitist isn't anything new I suppose. It's the same as rick and morty, a property that flirts with dark humor and cynicism always brings out the worst most vocal crybaby morons. Stop ruining things I enjoy you f###s. (edit for I was too mean, you're a symptom, not the disease)
@@escalatingbarbarism5096 it's always interesting seeing people talking about f3/4 because half the time, stuff that gets listed as a positive sounds utterly unappealing to me lmao "Some companions only join if you have good/neutral/evil karma" I mean, okay, but I think karma as a system sucks and doesn't fit with fallout at all, so that's a bad thing to me
@@Plain--Jane It's a lame system, it would be even if they'd implemented it properly, but as it is you can reach the max bad guy rating by going through a few houses and committing petty theft like 50 times even if no one sees it happen, at which point in the open world good guy mercenaries will start spawning in to kill you for being so evil.
@@Plain--JaneThe system was in the first 2 games tho, although it barely mattered since the only important thing it did was stop companions from joining
28:20 Actually the Charisma system for companions was implemented in FO2. FO1 has 4 companions and you can have all 4 at the same time no matter your Charisma value. FO2 has around 14 companions, but you can only have up to 5 depending on your Charisma.
Tenpenny tower doesn't have a moral dilemma, the ghouls are just evil. If you convince the residents to let them in the ghouls kill everyone. Tenpenny is right to keep them out
i think it’s an intereting, if misguided, way of showing a cycle of violence which is very fallout-y most of the residents despise ghouls openly, and only begrudgingly accept them if the player does a lot of convincing - they’d prefer to just slaughter all the ghouls. and likewise, the ghouls have built a hatred towards the tenpenny residents and want to take out that rage thanks to Roy being an extremist. it shows how hate just builds more hate, and innocent - even good - people like Dashwood get caught in the crossfire of hate and bigotry. it tackles an oppressed group also committing atrocities, which is fairly rare. i think it was a mistake to make it solely a murderfest though. if the quest was more fleshed out and you had more influence on what happened it would be more engaging. the themes it covers are very good, it just needed to bake a little longer and characters like Roy and Tenpenny needed more to their characters than “i hate humans” and “i hate ghouls.”
Even if you let them live alongside each other, find a peaceful solution by throwing out all the bigots. The ghouls still kill everyone later. And even after he has what he wanted, Roy decides it's not good enough, not worth keeping the peace and just kills them all. And even after all that the game gives you negative karma for killing him. @@booga3172
Want to be sadder? There’s a pretty big chance the show retconned new vegas away, undid and retconned huge parts of fallout 2, like moving shady sands to da Francisco, and nuked the NCR, all off screen. Plus made the brotherhood the biggest guys in the east again, and brought back the enclave. Oh and the show is meant to be cannon. So yeah, it reeeealyyyy feels like it was done out of pettiness since Bethesda can’t make a game as well written as any of those (instead of firing the guy who’s been in charge of writing since 2006). What’s more annoying is that the show is actually good, so I can only sulk as I watch the absolute but very they did to the lore.
What, 76, 4, 3, 2, 1, then NV. I love Billy C but it's pretty easy to guess considering that seems to be the standard. Edit: Holy shit I almost got it exactly.
I had the opposite reaction with Fallout 4 honestly. I was really disappointed with it at launch, mainly due to the voiced protagonist and lack of RPG elements in the story. But now its one of my favorites to go back and play just because of how fun the game-play is on survival mode. Settlements are actually important since you cant fast travel, the combat is fast and deadly, power armour is easily 100x better than any of the other games, weapon and armour crafting is great, and the perk/skill system is probably the best in the series.
yeah power armour in fallout 4 and 76 actually feel like you would expect power armour to feel where as in fallout 3 (the only other fallout i've played) it just feels the same as normal armour
Fallout 4 has no skill system lol, perk system felt super shallow since it didn't really encourage much difference in game play. It's also a little disappointing that no matter what if you play a character enough it'll have the same build every time.
@@BigJoe2600 All skill systems give the illusion of replayability with different builds. There is no "encouragement" to play different builds in any of them. Everyone ends up just doing the same build over and over because that is what they are comfortable with...like how I am a sniper every time, no matter if I am shooting a bow in Skyrim or a gun in Fallout. I think Fallout 4 is just honest about it, and says here you go....play the game the same every time because you would have anyway.
I cannot appreciate fans like you enough who genuinely find value in almost every title, genuinely each game has it's own merit and replayability that makes it super fun and enjoyable
It was my first, and I honestly hate it after playing 1 and 2. The world is so EMPTY. So much wasted potential on what could have been an interesting setting. While some of the side quests are good, they don’t help prop up an extremely terrible main story. The game, overall, felt very unfinished.
@@bladfadsfblaadsfsadf900 How is it empty? There are so many things to do in Fallout 3. Little Lamp Light, Big Town, Rivet City, Megaton, Tenpenny Tower, The Underworld, GNR, Jefferson Memorial, Paradise Falls. All these places have things to do in them. Saying Fallout 3 is empty is just a blatant lie. I dont even think you've played Fallout 1 or 2. I think you're being a hipster who pretends they've played Fallout 1 and 2 to act like their a true Fallout fan
Dude I just realized you’re the dude that makes all those punk rock covers. On my deployment in 2022 I probably listened to your covers once day. Awesome job and awesome video
I will say that as someone who really doesn't like fallout 4, combining the perks and the skills together is not a bad idea. If you think about how the skills were used in fallout 3 and new vegas, it wasn't like Dungeons & Dragons where you have a bonus that gets added to a roll, most of the time you uad to beat a threshold of loke 25 or 70 or whatever. And while leveling uo sometmes you could increase two slills last a threshold, you could also fail to do so as well. Making the skills into perks makes it so you can dedicate a levek to increasing a skill to that equvilant threshold. Its a simplification and streamlining but the effect isn't lost.
I haven't been able to watch it yet but my girlfriend is a massive Fallout fan and watched a few episodes. She says it's super faithful to the look and tone of the games so I'm excited to catch up after work!
FO3 was my first fallout game, Broken Steel was added because of the issue that Billy had stated, that being Fawkes said nuh uh and wanted you to kys to start the purifier AND the fact you couldn't play after the ending, and therefore Broken steel was added alongside the new Hellfire power armor. Edit: It also raised your level cap to 30 and the goated energy weapon: the tesla cannon.
I was really surprised to see Fallout 76 above Fallout 4, because the first time I tried it I played for about 3 hours and didn't really enjoy it, whereas I have 100%ed Fallout 4. However, after watching this and hearing the reasoning, I feel I should at least give Fallout 76 another chance, maybe this time even play with a friend, maybe it'll be more fun.
I just have no desire to play Fallout with others, and I don't want to start a private fallout 76 game that wasn't designed from the ground up as a single player experience.
I refunded 76 at least three times over the years and even deleted it when I had it free thru gamepass, but I picked it up after the show again and I can’t stop playing it now. It’s awesome now imo
@@JasonEllingsworth 76 is a bit weird in that it's basically a solo experience in a massive world that you share with others. The social aspect of the game is a nice optional addition, imo, but you can 100% enjoy the gameplay experience by yourself.
@@egel7736i'm sure that's true, but by playing it, i would also be supporting the development of games with always online connectivity, and plagued by microtransactions, and I'll never do that. The only way these companies get the message, is by not buying their crap products
Nitpick with me..when you holster your weapon on fallout 4, it just disappears On fallout 3, most weapons hop on yout back, or holstered to the side. I know some big weapons disappear, but most firearms are viable when you holster. You just look like a badass with a rifle sitting on your back
FA4 I had a moment where I was in a shootout with a bunch of riders that referenced me as the phycho that goes around absolutely demolishing their camps. That was a WTF moment, because they were talkin to eachother while in cover while in a shootout with me.
main reason i love being subbed to this channel, i either receive tasty tunes our Fallout opinions and honestly like a sickly child grasping for nutrients this pleases me Billy thank you
The brotherhood of steel in FO3 were stated to be a fractured part of faction that lost communication with the main hub on the west coast. Over the years, their ideals drifted from the original BoS.
8:18 from my personal experience after a few 900ish hours in fallout 4, the karma thing is mostly with dialogue, some characters like you if you are all goody two shoes (like NPC's like you and are friendlier with you - diamond city has NPC's run around and give you stuff, like some ammo they found or some food or water, some shops even give small thank you stuff like a few rounds of ammo) while if you are hated the NPC's don't do this, from what I've heard their may be higher prices in the shops and NPC's can refuse to speak to you.
I have 2000 hours in fallout 4 because of mods(over 200 usually), I have 2000 hours in fallout new Vegas because of the game(with like 5 stability and graphics mods). That says a lot
I let my sister play New Vegas and she loved it, start off on the best fallout for a better experience She chose a melee build and the yes man ending Very different than me, too cool
My ranking (not including 76 i didn't play it) before seeing yours 1 : Fallout New Vegas 2 : Fallout 1 3 : Fallout 4 (although it's very close to 2) 4 : Fallout 2 5 : Fallout 3
I feel like the game is still interesting until the reveal with shaun because the main quest has this cool stuff with going into kellog's head, meeting valentine and helping the commonwealth. Sure the main character trauma is not exploited but his cluelessness about this new world is interesting some times I also liked the double agent thing that the railroad has going on when you side with the institute at the same time Even if it falls flat in the end. Also far harbor kinda saves the lackluster ending for me by giving more depth to the synths and atom's church. Overall i find fallout 4 frustrating yes but its good elements like the followers the custom weapons and some quests really make the game cool in the end.
I liked fallout 2 and lot and i think it's almost tied with 4 for me, but the jokes and 90s references took me out of the game many many times. Like, the lore with navarro, the enclave and the chi is cool but a lot of humor diminish the stakes compared to the first which was really grim. Think about the hubologist who are a jab at scientology with the discount tom cruise, the comical mobsters in new reno and some dialogue of the chi people that is very stereotypical I Also find the game really unforgiving especially in the beginning depending on your build. For the companions some of them are nice but the scrapped content really hurt sulik (lorewise) and cassidy, byron and marcus are fine tho.
F:NV is the gold standard. Everything else is inferior and everyone knows it. The DLCs are diverse and varying degrees of "excellent." I seriously can't ever decide on which one is my favorite, but Roger Cross voicing "Ulysses" makes "Lonesome Road" a real treat. The mix of humor, drama, action and horror is spot-on. Oh, and the SOUNDTRACK. If the graphics and UI weren't so painful and outdated, I'd still play it regularly.
8. Fallout Brotherhood of Steel 7. Fallout 76 6. Fallout Tactics 5. Fallout 4 4. Fallout 3 3. Fallout 1 2. Fallout 2 1. Fallout New Vegas Some days, Fallout 2 is my favorite instead. And Fallout 1 has my favorite story. It is easily the most tonally and thematically consistent game in the series. It is also the only Fallout game without any extraneous elements. You could download it now and complete it in 15 to 20 hours.
@@Breeceboyi disagree. I prefer fallout 3 because the story (while not great, is better), the dialogue is wayyy better, better quests/sidequests, and more roleplay opportunities, also being comically evil is super fun
@@completelynormalperson7077 Okay thats a fair point, the only one of those I would contest is better quests/sidequests, fallout 3 probably does overall have better quests but its not that big a difference. I also like fallout 4's DLC more, and fallout 4 survival mode is one of the most immersive ways to play fallout imo
My list is probably unpopular 1.) Fallout new vegas 2.)fallout 4 3.) Fallout 3(super close to 4) 4:) fallout 2 5.) Fallout 1 6.) Fallout 76 I havent played tactics or BOS but i dont think id like them
@georgetriantafyllidis6525 well alot of people would find it odd I put fallout 4 so close to new vegas given how drastic they are but fallout 4 scores high because of my personal experience(played it when I was rlly depressed) and it's graphics and gunplay are fun,power armor is also the best in that game for sure
for me 4 has the world i enjoy exploring and making my own fun in but the story is basic, the factions ALL suck and as fun as nuka world is and i do love, having to destroy what you may have built seems dumb. fallout 3 i enjoy the least, i find the 360 era game clunky and 3 just feels like metro tunnel simulator. new vegas has the best factions but the world isnt engaging by nature of being set in a desert. when they remake 3 and new vegas i think that will be amazing. 76 i can only stomach if i pretend that the simulation theory is correct and all the daft stuff thrown at the players is to simulate how people would repsond. i think the world is great, theres a ton of diversity, but it quickly becomes the daily live service grind and someone in charge of the daily stuff clearly has a fetish for people eating dog food. my ranking would be 1- Fallout 4 2-New Vegas 3- 76 4- fallout 3 havent played the other and as much as ive seen a ton of play thrus im not going to pretend ive played them to rank
Official Fallout ranking (Not including spinoffs) 1. Fallout 2 2. Fallout New Vegas 3.Fallout (Doesn't include fallout games so bad they shouldn't exist) I still remember Black isle studios
My favorite fallout 1 random encounter is the car trunk with money in it cause I always hit up shady sands and get my dude and I like to pay him up early for just joining me, orrrrrr I keep it either way it’s a nice touch to the game cause I sat there wondering why it was just a car there until I took a look at it
18 months but yeah. It was a bit easier for Obsidian since a lot of pre-production was done in Van Buren times, but still. Bethesda issue is that they can't write for shit sans that guy who did Far Harbor and thus they have no idea how to move the setting and the gameplay loop past the "you loot rickety post-war shacks".
Obsidian had the entire fallout 3 game engine and a ton of assets which is a pretty big head start. They also had a bunch of script already written from the cancelled fallout sequel. Not really a fair comparison.
I'm glad I am not the only one who was just extremely disappointed by fallout 4. Its not a horrible game but it just feels lacking a lot of fallout elements.
I grew up playing Fallout 1 and 2, like, age 4 onwards, because my dad was into it. When I got Fallout 3 I was stoked just because it was 3d Fallout. Then New Vegas came out and after about 57 crashes, I loved it to pieces. Then 4 happened and I absolutely fell into the hype, but had my hopes dashed as it just ended up being a game that was less of a satisfying fallout game and more of an oddly addicting settlement builder.
The lore makes it pretty clear that the radscorpions came from the north american emperor scorpion, very common in pet stores and homes as pets, so them being on the east coast really isn't that farfetched
That was one example. Deathclaws Supermutants and like the majority of creatures make no sense on the east coast, and while Bethesda does try to explain them once you get to the 12th creature it gets inexcusable. Also, even IF scorpions being there does make sense, how does them being exactly like those on the west coast make sense? Also, they were expressly rare in the first game and only appeared as side quest enemies once and the protagonist killed them all for that quest.
@@FlyingwithFire No it's literally the exact same video. Just type in "NoobNut125 Laser Musket" and it'll come up (CZcams didn't like me posting the direct link apparrently)
Very good video. Even though I haven't played any fallout games or watched the show. I still understood every point you're talking about. Do you think one should mod the game or play it vanilla?
yes, if you want to take the time to work out binding the buttons to keys and potentially modding it. it's mostly controlled with the mouse so the right touchpad will be used the most.
@@NehemiahPereschuk ? I love Fallout, I just despise everything they did after Fallout 4. If Fallout 76 wasn't enough proof they don't care then I don't know what else will
With fallout 4, the biggest issues for me, was how the factions got implemented and the way the settlement system removed any trade/quest hubs that could have been present. I wanted the Railroad to actually have more people hidden in other cells that we could interact with. Minutemen got encountered too early, should have just been the concord survivors who tell you that preston tried to hold the raiders off and you go get him at LExington. Institute should hve let you pick a division head to become the new leader and each one has a different main goal. Brotherhood was really the only one that felt fully fleshed out. But I would have liked a way to turn settlements into brotherhood outposts/railroad safehouses/institute integration centres. New Vegas' main issue is the way the map funnels yu so much in the first 8-10 hours (unless you rush/skip the canyon trek to vegas). If you skip it, you just miss out on like 20% of the game. After 10+ replays, it loses fun for each new playthrough. Takes the longest to let me do whateve I want. 3's worst issue was combat and main quest ending. 2's biggest issue is that it feels more like a completely different game set in a different post apocalypse, instead of a sequel to 1. Even though it's my favourite game, I think it's the worst main series. 1's biggest issue isn't really fair, since it was tredding new ground in everything.
When I first played Fallout 3 and New vegas, I hated them, but then my friend pointed out that I was basically speedrunning them. I played rdr2 before this, so I comprehended the idea of doing other things before the main quests, but when I played Fallout 3, I rushed through and found myself fighting minigun weilding supermutents, with a hunting rifle. I love both these games now that im playing them right

true, still remember those first launch days, i even bring a cousin with me to play along, we were so dissapointed... bugs everywhere, not a single npc, not really a story, just.... a massive world with...nothing interesting in it...we drop it after a couple of hours, i know now a days the game is better....but still, those memories, make me still avoid that game, ill stick to fallout 4 for now, untill a fallout 5 comes out
The world of Fallout 76 and the music are great, not a fan of the rest of it though.
Fallout 4s DLC should easily put it above 76.
Oh yeah, definitely. Far Harbor is up there with the best installments in the franchise.
Yes absolutely, the Contraptions Workshop was a 10/10 piece of storytelling. It brought me to tears with its depth and new lore.
@@thecitrine1675aside from the certain DLC masterpiece of all time, the other ones felt like they belong in a better game. A better fallout game unfortunately
@@marcusgabriel8365wrong
Automatons alone improves fallout 4 like tenfold. Far harbor is overrated but a definite improvement from the main game, nuka world is fun but is even worse than the main game narratively. Those things considered new vegas still has the best dlc and fallout 4 is still garbage
The fallout franchise has so much potential and it’s upsetting that it’s Bethesda that has it because they aren’t the same team that made Skyrim. Starfield disappointed me more than Cyberpunk because at least that game had a rock solid foundation in a VERY interesting world.
The most disappointing thing about Starfield and Fallout 76, is Bethesda wasted all their time and money on two games nobody really wanted, and pushed back the games everyone actually wanted by more than a decade.
Cyberpunk ended up being top 3 games of all time for me. Its such a great game now
I'm not excited at all for Elden scrolls or Fallout sequel with what they shown with Starfield. Simply embarrassing. Worst of all the loading screen is a nightmare, After all the years of open worlds with not as much Loading screen playing Bethesda games is such a horrendous experience.
@@JasonEllingsworth the fact we still dont have another TES game, and then fallout 5 is still going to be 2 years behind TES VI is really sad...
Starfield could have been fine ig? you have fantasy, post apocalyptic and then sci-fi outer space makes sense to try to capitalize on. But it made a huge hit to the IPs they already had..
Cyberpunk is soooooo much better now after the updates its pretty fun and has a lot of depth to the game play and story
Not the Billy Cobb album we deserved, but the Billy Cobb album we needed
What makes the Railroad funny to me is that almost every playthrough I've watched, they will kill them so they don't have to wait for tinker tom to decode the Courser Chip because of how long he takes.

Fallout 3 will always hold a special place in my heart
It was one of the first games i ever played, and i loved almost every bit of it
I probably played through the game a dozen times
i agree fallout 3 was where i looked for every settlement and masscred everyone n everything in the waste lands for 1000s of hours was a fun game fallout new vegas was to plain and flat for me after fo3
@@lVladness I am so glad im not the only one with that opinion,Both involve roughly the same amount of walking yet Fallout 3s are much more fun to walk through (and sometimes get caught in the middle of sheer fucking chaos)
Another thing about the Yes-Man ending is that it's so secretly sinister, especially with the final lines in the game if you go their route. Yes-man hints and nudges the entire game about the overall level of his AI sentience and while it's been waved away by the game's creator, I can't help to think that we as the Courier essentially spent the entire game thinking we'd be the King/Queen of New Vegas when in actuality we're bringing about a Terminator world.
It's like that's one of the doomsday theories about AI, not that we'll see apocalypse by having the robots become self-aware and determine we're obsolete, but the more likely scenario is that the robots will take advantage of human weakness and folly and use us to destroy ourselves.
When I first heard that (from the Ordinary Things YT channel on the subject) I immediately had a brain blast as to why the Yes-man writing was actually so incredibly, incredibly brilliant. Mostly, because of how well Yes-man fools you into thinking THEY'RE working for YOU.
no, Yes Man is harmless, securitrons aren't that smart at all in general.
he's no ZAX
Yhe issue with the theory, is the ending slides don't hint at it going bad for the courier. That's one of my few issues with Vegas. It's the only fallout where it feels like the main character can actually win completely. The other games all have a bittersweet victory where some kind of sacrifice happens.
@@whoruslupercal1891 Yeah, we see you, Yes-Man lol. Thought you were slick
(Also, that's presupposing Yes-man is a normal securitron with normal securitron programming)
@@kyleellis1825 I mean, it's in the video. The ending of the game if you go the Yes-man route shows that the Mojave descends into immediate chaos. It's not like it goes years and years (or perhaps months?) into the future after how Yes-man says they're going away for 'awhile' to make themselves 'more assertive'.
I don't know how long it's going to take Yes-man to do what they say they're going to do, I personally like how open-ended and indeterminate those literal final dialogue lines of the game are before the ending slides. But the point suffices, when you DON'T do what Yes-man recommends (like what House orders you to do, destroy all surrounding factions) before the 2nd Hoover Dam battle it sounds disappointed, riding the edge of their programming. When you DO do his dirty work, no other way to put it, it sounds pleased and makes it seem like you're doing yourself a favor. Not to mention how he has clearly defined opinions on all these groups and repeatedly reminds you how important the platinum chip is and how they need it - Yes-man is secretly AI fully realized and they are DANGEROUS.
Where is the intro!? I wanted to see Leon L. Kennedy do the funny stick man dance 😔

In Fallout 3 you gain Speech Options based upon your character's build, going beyond the basic Speech Skill, many of which are "hidden" unless you possess the requisite specs.
Heck, there's companions that will only join you if you're Good, Neutral or Bad.
There's so few of them in Fallout 3 people don't even notice, are are then amazed when New Vegas has skill checks in nearly every dialogue sequence. And the Karma system in Fallout 3 is hilariously bad. If you do 3 quests in Megaton you'll immediately have mercenaries on your ass in the open world because you're such a "good" guy for fixing the plumbing and helping Moira out.
@@escalatingbarbarism5096 I've fallen more in love with this franchise, and so much less in love with this vocal crybaby minority sect of the fanbase. I guess it's just a symptom of growing popularity. Well the NV and classics elitist isn't anything new I suppose. It's the same as rick and morty, a property that flirts with dark humor and cynicism always brings out the worst most vocal crybaby morons. Stop ruining things I enjoy you f###s.

"Some companions only join if you have good/neutral/evil karma" I mean, okay, but I think karma as a system sucks and doesn't fit with fallout at all, so that's a bad thing to me
@@Plain--Jane It's a lame system, it would be even if they'd implemented it properly, but as it is you can reach the max bad guy rating by going through a few houses and committing petty theft like 50 times even if no one sees it happen, at which point in the open world good guy mercenaries will start spawning in to kill you for being so evil.
@@Plain--JaneThe system was in the first 2 games tho, although it barely mattered since the only important thing it did was stop companions from joining
I love a good video essay from someone I’ve never heard or thought would deliver a video essay.
28:20 Actually the Charisma system for companions was implemented in FO2. FO1 has 4 companions and you can have all 4 at the same time no matter your Charisma value. FO2 has around 14 companions, but you can only have up to 5 depending on your Charisma.
Damn Billy Cobb is a gaming channel now? Were we mislead?
Jokes aside, I'm looking forward to this video.
Next episode he’s gonna start calling us the kernels.
Did this info make You update your journal by any chance?
@@valentinom.4292 yeah it was noteworthy enough, I'll add it next to "I met a guy who wanted to bite my flesh off."
Tenpenny tower doesn't have a moral dilemma, the ghouls are just evil. If you convince the residents to let them in the ghouls kill everyone. Tenpenny is right to keep them out
i think it’s an intereting, if misguided, way of showing a cycle of violence which is very fallout-y
most of the residents despise ghouls openly, and only begrudgingly accept them if the player does a lot of convincing - they’d prefer to just slaughter all the ghouls. and likewise, the ghouls have built a hatred towards the tenpenny residents and want to take out that rage thanks to Roy being an extremist. it shows how hate just builds more hate, and innocent - even good - people like Dashwood get caught in the crossfire of hate and bigotry. it tackles an oppressed group also committing atrocities, which is fairly rare.
i think it was a mistake to make it solely a murderfest though. if the quest was more fleshed out and you had more influence on what happened it would be more engaging. the themes it covers are very good, it just needed to bake a little longer and characters like Roy and Tenpenny needed more to their characters than “i hate humans” and “i hate ghouls.”
I mean, excluding any moral implications, if you side with the ghouls you get a super useful ghoul mask
You're right, I actually regretted letting ghouls live along side with tenpenny tower's residents.
@@booga3172 "hello can I have your house please" "what the fuck? No" "understandable we're going to kill you"
Even if you let them live alongside each other, find a peaceful solution by throwing out all the bigots. The ghouls still kill everyone later.
And even after he has what he wanted, Roy decides it's not good enough, not worth keeping the peace and just kills them all. And even after all that the game gives you negative karma for killing him. @@booga3172
The fact that bethesda owns fallout deeply saddens me who knows if we'll see any more of the west coast
Want to be sadder? There’s a pretty big chance the show retconned new vegas away, undid and retconned huge parts of fallout 2, like moving shady sands to da Francisco, and nuked the NCR, all off screen. Plus made the brotherhood the biggest guys in the east again, and brought back the enclave.
Oh and the show is meant to be cannon. So yeah, it reeeealyyyy feels like it was done out of pettiness since Bethesda can’t make a game as well written as any of those (instead of firing the guy who’s been in charge of writing since 2006).
What’s more annoying is that the show is actually good, so I can only sulk as I watch the absolute but very they did to the lore.

Soooo... fallout season 2 will be in new vegas, should we run or pray?
I had the opposite reaction with Fallout 4 honestly. I was really disappointed with it at launch, mainly due to the voiced protagonist and lack of RPG elements in the story. But now its one of my favorites to go back and play just because of how fun the game-play is on survival mode. Settlements are actually important since you cant fast travel, the combat is fast and deadly, power armour is easily 100x better than any of the other games, weapon and armour crafting is great, and the perk/skill system is probably the best in the series.
Fr
yeah power armour in fallout 4 and 76 actually feel like you would expect power armour to feel where as in fallout 3 (the only other fallout i've played) it just feels the same as normal armour
Fallout 4 has no skill system lol, perk system felt super shallow since it didn't really encourage much difference in game play. It's also a little disappointing that no matter what if you play a character enough it'll have the same build every time.
@@BigJoe2600 All skill systems give the illusion of replayability with different builds. There is no "encouragement" to play different builds in any of them. Everyone ends up just doing the same build over and over because that is what they are comfortable with...like how I am a sniper every time, no matter if I am shooting a bow in Skyrim or a gun in Fallout. I think Fallout 4 is just honest about it, and says here you go....play the game the same every time because you would have anyway.
@@JasonEllingsworth just because that's how YOU play the game isn't a reason for there to be less player expression in a ROLE-PLAYING GAME
I cannot appreciate fans like you enough who genuinely find value in almost every title, genuinely each game has it's own merit and replayability that makes it super fun and enjoyable
I feel like you have to believe that SOMEONE at least somebody had cared in projects like this.
Fallout 3 gets a bad wrap. So many great moments in the side quests
It’s a masterpiece compared to f4
It was my first, and I honestly hate it after playing 1 and 2. The world is so EMPTY. So much wasted potential on what could have been an interesting setting. While some of the side quests are good, they don’t help prop up an extremely terrible main story. The game, overall, felt very unfinished.
4 gets a bad wrap but it’s amazing
@@bladfadsfblaadsfsadf900 How is it empty? There are so many things to do in Fallout 3. Little Lamp Light, Big Town, Rivet City, Megaton, Tenpenny Tower, The Underworld, GNR, Jefferson Memorial, Paradise Falls. All these places have things to do in them. Saying Fallout 3 is empty is just a blatant lie. I dont even think you've played Fallout 1 or 2. I think you're being a hipster who pretends they've played Fallout 1 and 2 to act like their a true Fallout fan
@@thedude5901 4 is bad IMO. Limiting the dialogue options to only 4 was horrible. 'Sarcasm'
Dude I just realized you’re the dude that makes all those punk rock covers. On my deployment in 2022 I probably listened to your covers once day. Awesome job and awesome video
I will say that as someone who really doesn't like fallout 4, combining the perks and the skills together is not a bad idea. If you think about how the skills were used in fallout 3 and new vegas, it wasn't like Dungeons & Dragons where you have a bonus that gets added to a roll, most of the time you uad to beat a threshold of loke 25 or 70 or whatever. And while leveling uo sometmes you could increase two slills last a threshold, you could also fail to do so as well. Making the skills into perks makes it so you can dedicate a levek to increasing a skill to that equvilant threshold. Its a simplification and streamlining but the effect isn't lost.
oh i know the show's gonna have that visual spectacularity, it has the team behind the boys on it, and that shits awesome
I haven't been able to watch it yet but my girlfriend is a massive Fallout fan and watched a few episodes. She says it's super faithful to the look and tone of the games so I'm excited to catch up after work!
@@thestraydog Yeah ive seen the episodes so far theyre really good
FO3 was my first fallout game, Broken Steel was added because of the issue that Billy had stated, that being Fawkes said nuh uh and wanted you to kys to start the purifier AND the fact you couldn't play after the ending, and therefore Broken steel was added alongside the new Hellfire power armor.
Edit: It also raised your level cap to 30 and the goated energy weapon: the tesla cannon.
I was really surprised to see Fallout 76 above Fallout 4, because the first time I tried it I played for about 3 hours and didn't really enjoy it, whereas I have 100%ed Fallout 4. However, after watching this and hearing the reasoning, I feel I should at least give Fallout 76 another chance, maybe this time even play with a friend, maybe it'll be more fun.
I just have no desire to play Fallout with others, and I don't want to start a private fallout 76 game that wasn't designed from the ground up as a single player experience.
I refunded 76 at least three times over the years and even deleted it when I had it free thru gamepass, but I picked it up after the show again and I can’t stop playing it now. It’s awesome now imo
@@TheCjbroncos25same I remember smashing my disk release week. Now I have over 150 hours in it
@@JasonEllingsworth 76 is a bit weird in that it's basically a solo experience in a massive world that you share with others. The social aspect of the game is a nice optional addition, imo, but you can 100% enjoy the gameplay experience by yourself.
@@egel7736i'm sure that's true, but by playing it, i would also be supporting the development of games with always online connectivity, and plagued by microtransactions, and I'll never do that. The only way these companies get the message, is by not buying their crap products

Hey Billy i was just wondering if you were going to do more covers of songs you can hear on the fallout radio
Ps love your music
BILLY TALKING ABOUT FALLOUT FOR 40 MINUTES?!?!🎉
Nitpick with me..when you holster your weapon on fallout 4, it just disappears
On fallout 3, most weapons hop on yout back, or holstered to the side. I know some big weapons disappear, but most firearms are viable when you holster. You just look like a badass with a rifle sitting on your back
36:50 damn bro you got some pipes on you I love this. Also the hard cut (and the editing in this video in general) is hilarious.
Oh. You’re a musician lol. That makes sense
FA4 I had a moment where I was in a shootout with a bunch of riders that referenced me as the phycho that goes around absolutely demolishing their camps. That was a WTF moment, because they were talkin to eachother while in cover while in a shootout with me.

Will we get a new vegas cover album soon Mr. Billy?
fallout 4 be like yes, no, sarcastic and explain
The brotherhood of steel in FO3 were stated to be a fractured part of faction that lost communication with the main hub on the west coast. Over the years, their ideals drifted from the original BoS.
8:18 from my personal experience after a few 900ish hours in fallout 4, the karma thing is mostly with dialogue, some characters like you if you are all goody two shoes (like NPC's like you and are friendlier with you - diamond city has NPC's run around and give you stuff, like some ammo they found or some food or water, some shops even give small thank you stuff like a few rounds of ammo) while if you are hated the NPC's don't do this, from what I've heard their may be higher prices in the shops and NPC's can refuse to speak to you.
I have 2000 hours in fallout 4 because of mods(over 200 usually), I have 2000 hours in fallout new Vegas because of the game(with like 5 stability and graphics mods). That says a lot
But what is your favorite video game Billyman?
Halo 3
What song is playing at 11:18? It sounds so familiar but I can't figure it out.
When I first left vault 101 as a kid, I remember just staying in the cave for a good few minutes before I left.
I let my sister play New Vegas and she loved it, start off on the best fallout for a better experience
She chose a melee build and the yes man ending
Very different than me, too cool
My ranking (not including 76 i didn't play it) before seeing yours
1 : Fallout New Vegas
2 : Fallout 1
3 : Fallout 4 (although it's very close to 2)
4 : Fallout 2
5 : Fallout 3
Interesting, what do you like a lot about F4?
I feel like the game is still interesting until the reveal with shaun because the main quest has this cool stuff with going into kellog's head, meeting valentine and helping the commonwealth. Sure the main character trauma is not exploited but his cluelessness about this new world is interesting some times
I also liked the double agent thing that the railroad has going on when you side with the institute at the same time Even if it falls flat in the end.
Also far harbor kinda saves the lackluster ending for me by giving more depth to the synths and atom's church.
Overall i find fallout 4 frustrating yes but its good elements like the followers the custom weapons and some quests really make the game cool in the end.
@@georgeswagg413 STUPID FUCKING DIMA MEMEORY FUCK DIMA
Why's Fallout 2 so low?
I liked fallout 2 and lot and i think it's almost tied with 4 for me, but the jokes and 90s references took me out of the game many many times.
Like, the lore with navarro, the enclave and the chi is cool but a lot of humor diminish the stakes compared to the first which was really grim.
Think about the hubologist who are a jab at scientology with the discount tom cruise, the comical mobsters in new reno and some dialogue of the chi people that is very stereotypical
I Also find the game really unforgiving especially in the beginning depending on your build.
For the companions some of them are nice but the scrapped content really hurt sulik (lorewise) and cassidy, byron and marcus are fine tho.
That „meine Damen und Herren“ really came out of nowhere and pleased me giving the fact I’m from Germany 😂
Great video! I haven't seen your channel before but after watching I realized I recognized your name from your Zerwee album!
F:NV is the gold standard. Everything else is inferior and everyone knows it. The DLCs are diverse and varying degrees of "excellent." I seriously can't ever decide on which one is my favorite, but Roger Cross voicing "Ulysses" makes "Lonesome Road" a real treat. The mix of humor, drama, action and horror is spot-on. Oh, and the SOUNDTRACK. If the graphics and UI weren't so painful and outdated, I'd still play it regularly.

BASED
for me 4 has the world i enjoy exploring and making my own fun in but the story is basic, the factions ALL suck and as fun as nuka world is and i do love, having to destroy what you may have built seems dumb. fallout 3 i enjoy the least, i find the 360 era game clunky and 3 just feels like metro tunnel simulator. new vegas has the best factions but the world isnt engaging by nature of being set in a desert. when they remake 3 and new vegas i think that will be amazing. 76 i can only stomach if i pretend that the simulation theory is correct and all the daft stuff thrown at the players is to simulate how people would repsond. i think the world is great, theres a ton of diversity, but it quickly becomes the daily live service grind and someone in charge of the daily stuff clearly has a fetish for people eating dog food. my ranking would be

The yes man ending depends on what you do in new vegas, if you help people and create stability in parts of the wasteland, it’s not that bad
Its funny to me that Obsidian did in a year what Bethesda has struggled to do for over a decade.
18 months but yeah.
It was a bit easier for Obsidian since a lot of pre-production was done in Van Buren times, but still.
Bethesda issue is that they can't write for shit sans that guy who did Far Harbor and thus they have no idea how to move the setting and the gameplay loop past the "you loot rickety post-war shacks".
Obsidian had the entire fallout 3 game engine and a ton of assets which is a pretty big head start. They also had a bunch of script already written from the cancelled fallout sequel. Not really a fair comparison.
@@azz3million ehhh NV salvages basically nothing from New Vegas story. Rest kinda, NV still has a ton of new assets.
I'm glad I am not the only one who was just extremely disappointed by fallout 4. Its not a horrible game but it just feels lacking a lot of fallout elements.
I grew up playing Fallout 1 and 2, like, age 4 onwards, because my dad was into it. When I got Fallout 3 I was stoked just because it was 3d Fallout. Then New Vegas came out and after about 57 crashes, I loved it to pieces. Then 4 happened and I absolutely fell into the hype, but had my hopes dashed as it just ended up being a game that was less of a satisfying fallout game and more of an oddly addicting settlement builder.

The lore makes it pretty clear that the radscorpions came from the north american emperor scorpion, very common in pet stores and homes as pets, so them being on the east coast really isn't that farfetched
That was one example. Deathclaws Supermutants and like the majority of creatures make no sense on the east coast, and while Bethesda does try to explain them once you get to the 12th creature it gets inexcusable. Also, even IF scorpions being there does make sense, how does them being exactly like those on the west coast make sense? Also, they were expressly rare in the first game and only appeared as side quest enemies once and the protagonist killed them all for that quest.

multiple people could have the same idea
@@FlyingwithFire No it's literally the exact same video. Just type in "NoobNut125 Laser Musket" and it'll come up (CZcams didn't like me posting the direct link apparrently)
Very good video. Even though I haven't played any fallout games or watched the show. I still understood every point you're talking about. Do you think one should mod the game or play it vanilla?
The vats system in 76 is genuinely so smooth
Bros got a degree in yapology holy fuck
Best fallout game is BOS
Do Fallout 1 and 2 play well on Steam Deck? I've actually never played the originals and have only played Bethesda's
yes, if you want to take the time to work out binding the buttons to keys and potentially modding it. it's mostly controlled with the mouse so the right touchpad will be used the most.
Didn't think billy would drop this kinda vid, glad he did 😄
Fallout 4 legitimately killed the franchise for me
Best fallout
Fallout fans gotta be top 5 most dramatic fandoms of all time
@@Johaufs excuse me for having standards and constant disappointment in Bethesda
@Arcademan09 to be fair, I wouldn't say every fallout game is bad.
@@NehemiahPereschuk ? I love Fallout, I just despise everything they did after Fallout 4. If Fallout 76 wasn't enough proof they don't care then I don't know what else will
*Speaks about MAINLINE games
*somehow includes the glorified Fallout 3 DLC called "New Vegas"
ur mom is glorified
Seeing my old friend Erik as preston in this vid caught me off guard.
The way you dont use the loot all button is DRIVING ME CRAZY 🤣
Highly disagree with fallout 4
With fallout 4, the biggest issues for me, was how the factions got implemented and the way the settlement system removed any trade/quest hubs that could have been present. I wanted the Railroad to actually have more people hidden in other cells that we could interact with. Minutemen got encountered too early, should have just been the concord survivors who tell you that preston tried to hold the raiders off and you go get him at LExington. Institute should hve let you pick a division head to become the new leader and each one has a different main goal. Brotherhood was really the only one that felt fully fleshed out. But I would have liked a way to turn settlements into brotherhood outposts/railroad safehouses/institute integration centres.
New Vegas' main issue is the way the map funnels yu so much in the first 8-10 hours (unless you rush/skip the canyon trek to vegas). If you skip it, you just miss out on like 20% of the game. After 10+ replays, it loses fun for each new playthrough. Takes the longest to let me do whateve I want.
3's worst issue was combat and main quest ending.
2's biggest issue is that it feels more like a completely different game set in a different post apocalypse, instead of a sequel to 1. Even though it's my favourite game, I think it's the worst main series.
1's biggest issue isn't really fair, since it was tredding new ground in everything.
Hate to break it to yah but there are indeed scorpions in DC. They’re also the type that glow in the dark
When I first played Fallout 3 and New vegas, I hated them, but then my friend pointed out that I was basically speedrunning them. I played rdr2 before this, so I comprehended the idea of doing other things before the main quests, but when I played Fallout 3, I rushed through and found myself fighting minigun weilding supermutents, with a hunting rifle. I love both these games now that im playing them right
