Why You Don't Actually Enjoy Playing Fallout

- The release of the Fallout TV show has highlighted that we might not actually love playing Fallout games for the reasons we think. Do we really enjoy playing Fallout, or do we enjoy the world and lore that Bethesda has created?
#fallout - Hry
how do you not have more subs ?? your amazing!
That's such a nice thing to say - thank you, I appreciate it!
Todd Howard and Hired Goons. 😂
i do enjoy playing fallout
Good sir, Bethesda did not create the world and lore of Fallout.
That would be Interplay/Black Isle.
And anything Bethesda says is canon is not.
If you haven't played Fallout 2 you're missing out on the best game IMHO. Its sad the majority seem to forget anything prior to FO3 exists.
@@DOSStorm Absolutely agree. Fallout 1 and 2 are some of my favorite games of all time.
@@AztecUnshaven As a side note if you like FO1 and 2 you should try ATOM RPG. Its basically the spiritual successor to the original Interplay Fallouts.
new vegas is set in nevada, not cali
Yeah let him know.
Mostly Nevada. Parts of the map are in CA, being Nipton and the Mojave Outpost. And a little bit of Arizona too.
its both, and arizona
He's British 💀
@@skullyinc.I'm british and know that 💀
Can you separate the games from the lore? The games and the stories they tell are one and the same. Bit of a weird take.
Fallout 76's launch is proof that people won't love anything just because it is set in the fallout universe.
Unless it is called New Vegas, if it was released after 1998, it is not Fallout. End of story.
Self report as a tourist.
yeah, dumb video
I do enjoy playing the West Coast Fallout games, I just despise the Bethesda made slop.
Also New Vegas is in Nevada.
I enjoy playing Fallout
I don't often comment on videos, but for this I feel like I must. I first played Fallout 3 way back when it first came out (Hell I got a friend at a store to break street date for me to play 2 weeks early) and I loved every second of it, because the game allowed me to explore a world that was so very different from every other open setting that came before it. I spent almost 90 hours playing before I even cleared the main story, because I wanted to explore every part of the map. It wasn't the existing lore that kept me invested, it was the world I was actively participating in at the present.
That is the thing with the fallout games that you missed here, there is a freedom to make the adventure what you want it to be. Your biggest hang up with Fallout 4 is having to save Preston and build settlements, but that is what you chose to do, you decided to follow the story and the road that the game wanted you to take, when you could have easily just gone the other way and made your own choices. If you are so rigid in your approach to a game or experience, you wont ever find the true depth that it has to offer and all of the secrets that it holds.
This is getting longwinded, so I will wrap it up. I love playing Fallout games (I have put over 2000 hours into the series as a whole) and I enjoy them more than the TV show. I find your argument flawed because you are so hung up on the railroad that you chose to take, as well as the comparisons with non fallout games and the modern "bathesda stink". Just because you are finding Fallout 4, Fallout 76 and Starfield boring, doesnt mean they aren't enjoyed by others.
Hey bud there's this really cool word called "Both."
I admit that I enjoy the world and lore more than gameplay, but I also really enjoy the gameplay. They are pretty neck and neck, which is why the games are so good. The story is awesome and the gameplay is super fun.
Fallout series is actually interesting, I just can't handle the jank of anything bethesda makes
Bethesda don't know how to make a good game anymore, and will never again be able to if they persist with their in house engine.
i do actually enjoy playing fallout
Don't fuck with us fallout fans, we don't even like the franchise
BASTARD
idk man I still enjoy playing new vegas altough I haven't played it 23 times so maybe that's why
Playing new vegas for the first time. Feels like playing skyrim or dark souls 1 all over again. Crazy how good it is despite being so dated.
If you think F4 is boring because of Preston and the settlements, you can just skip both.
Also, try to mod it. I didn't know how, but i did some research, and it def. payed out
Settlement building is actually my favorite part of Fallout 4. I just love placing brothels and strip clubs throughout the commonwealth. Strong's brothel especially is a great place to get served the milk of human kindness. 😏
I love Fallout BUT I believe we should be allowed to make critique.
I never watched the show mainly because it wasnt for me, but I do enjoy Fallout.
It depends. If you are fine with the repetition, which some people are. It’s fine. The reason why I don’t bother with more recent games is because they inconveniently crash for me. I figured out how to make the crashes less frequent by turning off GodRays, but I would rather play something else that doesn’t crash
Lol im a fallout game fanboy so dont necessarily agree with a lot, that said great work and well put together video! Im subbed, hope you continue to grow!
04:05 beware of spoiler, I wasn't fast enough to stop the movie
yes Fallout ended at New Vegas
So to summarize: the Fallout game series is a mostly mediocre set of games set in an absolutely amazing world.
Fallout 1, 2, 3, 4 and New Vegas are good. I never played 76 and don't care if I ever do. I've never watched the show, but I heard it was good. The games are great but would be better if I wasn't hauling and selling loot 60% of the time. The updates to 4 they just released actually made it a little better. I've noticed more enemy encounters. I didn't think about the show causing Fallout 5 to release early I hope that doesn't happen. That was a nice well put together video. Maybe you enjoy the show more because you experience Fallout without all of the tedious mind-numbing parts of the gameplay.
Fallout 1, 2, and New Vegas are some of the best games ever released. 3 and 4 are examples of people completely missing the point.
There. Fixed.
Outer Worlds was sorta disappointing to me. I kept hoping for more game changing decisions but it was basically either be an asshole or be a hero.
Outer worlds …. Lol… hopefully the second one is the new Vegas 2 we wanted with the first outer worlds ..
The most disappointing aspect of The Outer Worlds is that no choice has consequences that you cannot see coming from a mile away if you think about it for more than a second. There is a New Vegas 2, and it is called Baldur's Gate III.
3 and 4 are just good games. They are dissapointing though because they could easily be incredible with decent writers
My biggest complaint with Fallout 4 is something you touched on in the video- settlement mode and the guilt you have for not using it. Unless you spend countless hours fortifying at least Sanctuary and the Castle into intricate bases you really feel like you're gyping yourself out of the game's content.
But it works the same way too, if you have high self standards you could spend days if not weeks of real time building these settlements to your standards all the while dealing with the janky object placement and 1st person camera being the worst way to do construction when it should be a form of free camera. For a personal example I've spent the better half of May now building up Sanctuary with a ridiculous amount of detail all the while I miss just being out in the wasteland shooting creatures, doing quests, and getting rich like in Fallout 3 and New Vegas.
Settlement mode simply put is something I wish they never added to the game... it's both addictive and terrible.
YES EXACTLY!!!
you can tell this guys a bad wagoner, bro
I enjoy both and i think the show is written terribly. The hate has little to do with altered lore, its about lots of stupid moments in the show
Who was the tv show made for exactly?
Brain dead normies
I enjoyed 98% of the video.. but I own and still enjoy watching super Mario Bros from the 1980s movie!
I think it was hilarious and I can't watch it without a pizza
I play New Vegas to this day with mods to make it feel like a current game, I don't even remember when I last played Fallout 3, Fallout 4 I am unable to play without the mod Sim Settlements 2 to get rid of the stupid settlement micro-managing and the TV show for me was hit and miss.
There's never going to be a Fallout 5 because Bethesda are lazy and will just push to keep 76 alive via life-support because making stuff good is too hard.
Great video. Subbed
Much appreciated, thank you!
This guy has a yapping degree
I enjoy playing fallout 4 but when I tried playing fallout 3 It was quite boring and I got murdered 12 million times everywhere I went
Yeah, Fallout 3 is more brutal and horror leaning, but still my favorite vibes wise
I truly like the lore, I love the zany reality and I STILL ENJOY playing F3, New Vegas and 4. I like everything about the franchise.
True about Preston Garvey, though. Most times when I play I simply walk right past him to get the power armor, stranding his party of 5 at the museum of freedom in Concord.
Use the google translator. Mano minha primeiro corrida no fallout 4 foi direcionada a achar o shaun só um pai poderia entender a prioridade. Precisei e 2 full playruns para começar a aproveirtar o conteúdo adicional do game.
wait, this doesn't make any sense? i love fallout, the game AND the tv show, one doesn't oppose the other
uh ? oh and wait are you just realizing that bethesda sucked at making fallout in the way fallout was good ?
yeah the future of fallout is grim. it's been a like that for a while
Commenting for the algor, great video!
Thank you! Happy you enjoyed it :)
Playing unarmed shadow blitz. No guns. Still have a commando a command character and a heavy gunner. Fallout 4 still shoots better than any fallout game. Base fallout 4 is better than the outer worlds base game.
If you don't enjoy Fallout that might be why you enjoyed the show that much. I hated it because of what it did to the lore and the brutality of it's narrative. I contributed to Steam player counts going up because I had to play New Vegas to get the taste out of my mouth. Fantastic acting, sound and set design, awful writing.
Very compelling. I like it, I do sometimes find myself getting bored with the games. However I could also argue that happens with every game, and like every game there are times when I binge a fallout game for weeks because I am having so much fun playing it. Great video, I liked it a lot
Haha, same. Thanks and glad you enjoyed!
@@thatvideogamelife yeah I subbed, definitely will be looking forward to some more of your content.
Great video, hope it gains more popularity
Thank you! I appreciate the comment :) Glad you enjoyed it
No.
Flawed thesis built on assumptions. I love the lore and the medium of gaming is a wonderful way to explore that. Hence, I love 1, 2, and NV because the writers knew what they were doing and the world and stories are great. 3 and 4 are Bethesda slop that misunderstand the world, and are bad games for it. The show is similar; the worldbuilding is really bad, honestly (see Shady Sands, the lack of the Boneyard when the show is set in LA, the zero notable locations from 1 and 2, etc), but the characterization is great so I still enjoyed it.
There’s more to a show than just the worldbuilding and there’s more to games than just worldbuilding, and on top of this half of Fallout doesn’t understand what Fallout is supposed to be, a fact which you completely neglect.
(Yes I am a New Vegas fanboy how could you tell)
I LOVE FALLOUT AND PLAYING THE GAMES AND FALLOUT 4 WASN'T THAT BAD
@HunterRamirez Christ, if only it was good.
@@KingofFreaks Indeed. Once the bombs start falling, you get two massive plot holes. One before you enter the vault, and one before you leave. Did Emil Pissface even do the slightest research into what a nuclear blast wave would do to a person's DNA if it gets that close to them? Or what a .44 Magnum discharging within three feet of a baby's eardrums would do to said eardrums? Or how one baby equals a completely unviable gene pool?
Very happy that the algorithm brought us together. I hope the math keeps mathing for you brother.
Thank you! Appreciate your comment
First
CONFIRMED
It's fine if you don't like the Fallout games, then do not play them. I play them often. You just aren't a Fallout fan. It doesn't matter, but it's projection to say everyone else has your taste. Different people find different things entertaining. Fallout just isn't for you.
I would say that they are not everyone’s cup of tea. Some people just wouldn’t like repetition, it’s not their personality type. Others would
Show was meh and I prefer the games. In Fallout 4 the best thing you do is avoid the msq.
Fallout 76 - where toxic people go to form cliques and use cheats, exploits and hardcore compulsive hoarding and autism to ruin the experience for everyone else. And if that isn't ruining it then all the game crashes and pay to play sure did.
What did Autism do to you?
@@Mr.JohnMustard Turned a fun game into a mathematic challenge where people grind away the joy of the experience by chasing the meta.
@@larryargent503 oh, do people use Autism as an excuse
@@Mr.JohnMustard No. 😆 It's not a literal description. I promise I have not made other players undertake psych evaluations.
I enjoy both things equally, the lore is completely captivating and entertaining, and the games, even if janky, are really addictive and enjoyable
