The Decline of Fallout

- The Fallout series has spent the better half of two decades getting tremendous praise. Up until recently, the Fallout franchise was seemingly untouchable. The classic Fallout games becoming greatest hits and the modern Fallout titles capturing our hearts. How has a series loved by so many, fallen so far from grace? This is the decline of Fallout.

Come talk Fallout with me on my Discord server:

I cant lol
@Jesus Joestar Yeah, but it's ight I just think it's funny when I say "I can't lol" to this the commment not in spite or anything just that I think the act of saying that is funny.
@Leon Schuring yes you are right but maybe it is nostalgia talking I love f3 more than 4
Since it's my first and I still have 5000 hours in f4 and 1000 in f3
Let's play some Reloaded
youre spot on with all of this. the only issue is that FoT isnt made by interplay. it was made by their subsidiary, 14 Degrees East. which was lead by a head of the company that didnt work on Fallout, but DID work on the original Wasteland IP. BlackIsle was still a thing when 14*E was making FoT.
this man has done... ALOT.
www.mobygames.com/developer/sheet/view/developerId,2896/
we can safely say though, that Fallout BoS was a game formed to the times and the console players. We see them get back on track with Fallout Van Buren using what they have learned here and there.
Though. i have this feeling that After FoT... Fallout wouldnt hold too well. the engine that Interplay was using in Van Buren looks a bit too... aesthetic? too plastic? looks like a 3DO engine.
"Preston Garvey not interacting with the player"
Sounds good to me.
Yeah me too I also like that to me
The best bug I ever got in fallout was when Garvey stopped giving me settlement quests.

Fallout has not decline in popularity just in quality
I’m not sure why I feel like this but, in Fallout New Vegas your not just thrown into the wasteland but more of being a bad*ss from the start. Your taking revenge and most of the npcs don’t just send you on a fetch and retrieve they have respect for you. In my opinion 4 and 76 are somewhat built around fetch and retrieve.
@@ttyler.t you should check out Joseph Anderson one year later video for fallout 4 it's amzing and you will see why you are right

It’s funny because something similar happened with Interplay and the ‘interplay logo’ animation. It was changed for Fallout to look like the opening to a 50s RKO movie, and Interplay ended up adopting it for all of their later titles...
Yeah. Bethesda never understood fallout
Just make more Fallout: Pinball games. That'll keep the series going, it just works
It's so good though.
Bethesda just found their next consultant
Good thinking Black Sha- *cough* I mean Bootleg Batman.
Ah, the ole’ silent hill aproach I see.
You mean pachislot?
Let’s be honest Fallout 1 and 2 were damn near perfect, 3D Fallout peaked at New Vegas and it’s been downhill ever since.
Fallout 2 turned young 90's virgins into 21st century Chads
Yes.
@@ProfVaharrak yes
It pains me that you are right
Trufax. The only thing Fallout 4 brought was better shooting mechanics which still needed further improvement from modders. If you like the settlement system (which I personally do) then that's another pro for Fallout 4 but as much as I do like it, it feels unfinished and there are lots of people that just ignore the settlements entirely and I can't fault them for it.
The way the world is going, the next fallout is going to have the best graphics we’ve ever seen.

It's going to have 4 times the graphics of Fallout 4
@@lamedrawings 4 times the graphics *Todd does dramatic head turn* of fallout 4
The God rays will have their own God rays lmao. "Innovation"
But at what cost?
I started playing at fallout 4, then moved backwards to 3, fnv, 1, 2 & then to tactics. Fnv is my favorite though because I love 3d action rpgs and it still retains most of that fallout 1 & 2 feel, just in 3d form
The Mojave is a great setting.
I did the same thing and nv is also my favorite
I did something similar. I went from 76, to 4, 3, fnv, and once I finish my pc I'm going to get fallout 1, 2, and tactics
I started with 4 too. I think that's why I love it so much. I'm playing New Vegas right now, and do far, 4 is still my favorite. We'll see if that changes once I get to The Strip.
@@NCRRanger16 it will. 4 is shit.
I just want a New Vegas remaster, that alone would interest me back into the series

Fallout 1 and 2 were amazing. F3 brought us into the 3D era, which in my opinion is just better for immersion purposes, but it fell short in many aspects. New Vegas was the peak of the 3D era, having improved where F3 failed. Fallout 4 brought some very good upgrades in terms of gameplay, layered armor, weapon and armor mod system, the workshop building and my favorite thing about it: the new power armor was an absolute joy to play, but it fell short everywhere else. 76 brought multiplayer, which was something I've always wanted in a fallout game, but instead of the Borderlands treatment we got this abomination of a game.
I'm right there with you Aztheron.
The only thing I didn’t like about 4’s power armour is that you no longer need power armour training and power armour is extremely common so it doesn’t feel like an end game item anymore
76 didn't bring multiplayer. They had a mod for new vegas years before it's release. It was fun. But oddly enough the mod was removed a couple months from 76 release date
@@txta786 Thats not how that works lol
You cant just count a mod as a gameplay feature
NEW VEGAS HAD MULTIPLAYER because it had an online mod
76 is the first Fallout game to offer any real live online play like we see. Though Tactics shipped with multiplayer, but it was squad based skirmishes.
Yeah, I liked the improved power armor in Fallout 4 since it actually looks like power armor instead of a wet suit with steel plates on it. It being everywhere does take away from how special power armor was in previous games.

The best Fallouts are the West Coast ones
Yeah, because Bethesda doesn’t do the fallout series right like Black Isle did
Wouldn't that just be new vegas?
First Last lmao sorry never played 1 or 2
In other words: fallout games not made by Bethesda
Don't forget the Midwest (Fallout Tactics) too!
Too bad, Bethesda consider it semi canon for some reason. But I think it has a good reason since Obsidian hinting that they might be a Enclave presence there (as it was hinted in FNV Lonesome Road dlc)
"and preston not interacting with the character"

@@no-better-name SHUT UUUPPP!
Yeah, Bethesda keeps telling us that they are "Listening" to the player base... OK I want to see the Tweets/Posts that say "I want MORE useless grind and I want to pay more to play!"
76 has started being actually good now. And the time line is just right for it. But itmreally should have been that way from the start unfortunately. I really like the envionment and story if 76 I just wish it was better executed from the get go.
@@samuelbishop3316 76 is not a real fallout game. When I think of fallout I don't think of a shitty multiplayer action adventure game with bare bones RPG elements.
@@expendablesubhuman8592 Fair enough. But that doesn't mean it isn't a real game. Plenty of people enjoy it and now it's starting to gain back that classic feel again. The lore is fine. Honestly I am glad they at least tried it, but I do just wish they'd go back to regular fallout. Spend time to make a proper game, rather than reasonably half baked like 4. Not that I dislike 4.
They may be listening, but they don't care what the fans want. They're going to make games how they want to make games.
Samuel Bishop fallout 76 has good lore indeed.
Its to bad that you leave the fault after that all stuff happend. The brotherhood, the responders, the firebreathers.
But wastelanders Made it alot better, you are atleast part of the story instead of Reading it
This is how I see the Fallout games:
Fallout: A dark and bleak world with a bittersweet ending.
Fallout 2: Still a dark world with some dark humor mixed in and even greater stakes.
Fallout Tactics: RISK with a Fallout skin.
Fallout Brotherhood of Steel: NOT CANON
Fallout 3: A dark and barren world re-imagined.
Fallout New Vegas: A barren yet adventurous world that tries to stay true to it's roots.
Fallout 4: Colorful world rebuilding itself and full of hope.
Fallout 76: BUGS AND MONEY
@lizzy rosario I don't know. I just said the first strategy game that came to mind.
fo76 is actually a good fallout spin-off
@Bigdrake honestly the gameplay Is really similar to older fallouts and i really don't notice more bugs than the other 3d fallouts 😅
@Bigdrake that's could happen in every fallout game...i have around 700/800 in both f3/nv and more or less in f4,and actually around 300 in 76 and i can corfirm they are all bugged in a similar way 🤣 i know there Is much nosense hate in fo76 but they patch and improve It a lot,so my advice Is to try It,becouse Also the lore is actually really nice,and Happy or not the game Is still really Alive,only steam have around 10/15k player(Active all the time)and the game Is Also on bet.net and consoles.
@Bigdrake yup It's legit,i don't know when do you try It but actually the game Is really viable Just this, it's not perfect but get a lot of improvements so if you like the saga and you Will give a second chance maybe It can change you mind

Everyday I imagine a timeline where Fallout: New Vegas had the development time of fallout 4. The idea is so absurdly beautiful that it makes sense it never came to be.
I wonder if anyone noticed how “streamlined” Fallout 4 and Fallout 76 are... they are sheered bonsai trees right now.

Classic games indeed.
@@TKsMantis yeah, I started playing the classic trilogy because you said they were good. And so I tried them (hated them at first) but I loved them now
I keep trying to get into to it, but it's kinda hard after only exclusively playing the 3d games.
They need a remaster for sure. Bethesda should get someone familiar with those old engines and contract them to make a remaster of FO1 and 2 with improved controls and visuals.
Im playing through 1 and enjoying it so far. Being a civ/rs/lol junkie im slowly progressing through the game but its still fun. Havent had a challenge like this in forever from fallout.
Fallout: **Slowly decaying**

Yo mantis, I know exactly what you were talking about in the beginning. I was locked out of classes for a few years too, shit sucked, but with all that time I had I started taking stuff apart and putting it back together for hours during the day. Honestly it only got me in more trouble, but I had a love and a need to see how things worked.
I’m currently studying to be an engineer so I guess its good that I had the space to explore that, even if it was kinda shitty at the time. Glad to see that you were able to explore your passions in a way akin to how I was.
I actually never played Fallout 1 and 2. I loved Fallout 3, 4 and NV. I haven't played 76 because I don't really like mmorpg's and turns out I dodged a bullet from what I here
You should give them a try. I've played little of them because I play way too many games and get distracted but they are awesome. Going back from the modern games make you realize how deep, subtle and enjoyable the originals were, if you can adapt to the rather old mechanics.

I was a massive TES fan since I was 12 Morrowind to me is what Fallout is to you. My first step in the post apocalyptic was S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Love it to this day. Tempted to install it... Another childhood favorite was Mafia. Then Mafia 2 comes along. I realize how much I love the 50’s. So there I am with Skyrim a few months away, no new Stalker games in sight, wanting something in the 50’s, but also post apocalyptic. And I love sci-fi in general. Then it occured to me that I looked up Fallout 3 many times before but in the past I did not like the whole retrofuture thing. So now I am thinking, hey it has two things I like. And a new Fallout fan was born right there in April 2011.
Did you see the STALKER 2 trailer?

@@redacted2454 wasted potential i say

The original Fallout was huge for me, my brother and my cousins when I was young. We would all huddle around and play together, making group decisions on what to do and such. I'll never forget my mum handing me the telephone one day and on the other end is one of my cousins incredibly excited that he found the water chip and couldn't wait to show us where it was and how to get it.
Blasphemy! Never forget the words of our most Holy Todd the Father, “It just works.”
Amen

GODD Howard

The worst thing that’s happening to fallout is a decline in interest. 76 has soured the overall appeal of the franchise so much I feel that if fallout 5 was announced and it looked amazing the reception would still be mixed at best. We also have a fallout tv show on the way that while given attention, hasn’t received the interest I feel it would’ve had it been announced even 3 years ago.
I literally never heard about NV tv show
Yeah you posted this comment a year ago and the lack of people responding including myself never even hearing of the fallout TV show is literally the best case for this.
Also because I know this is the internet you could definitely be lying about a fallout TV show to prove a point and guess what, I'm not going to look up to see if you're right or not because I don't care enough about the series anymore to actually confirm if fallout is having a TV show or not.
Hey Mantis!! Great content! I remember bumping into you in FOnline Reloaded with my friend. Great times!
My favorite is NV but I've been playing Fallout 4 on survival mode for the past few weeks(I don't touch FO4 since 2015), and I've been having a great time with it. FO4 story while not as good as the older games is fine enough, but the gameplay and world are stellar. Playing FO4 without fast travel made me appreciate the Commonwealth much more because there's always something happening in the roads you travel, and so many interesting places to explore and read lore, loot to find, junk to improve your gear, interesting enemies, it's just so dynamic and fun.
I just thought of something. If you think about it, Bethesda's era of Fallout games have so far gone through the same cycle as Interplay's original games
Starting off with Fallout 3/Fallout 1: The first in it's run whether it be 1st/3rd person, or turn based isometric. Both were met with criticism, but were ultimately successful enough to spark demand
Then with the sequels, Fallout New Vegas and Fallout 2: Both starting off a bit rocky but then widely loved over time. Both at the height of each era
Fallout 4/Tactics: Building off the hype of its predecessors both games decide to go for a different approach. For Tactics it was strategy, for 4 it was more focus on things like shooting mechanics and settlements. Both were technically successful, but didn't feel like Fallout as much as previous titles.
And then... 76/BOS: Worst of both eras. Trying to "Innovate" the series, but ultimately failing at everything it does.
Now Fallout is in the loop, and I'm very worried about the future. Maybe the franchise should be bought like Interplay did with Bethesda by either Obsidian, or another company who understand Fallout.
UPDATE: JUST FOUND OUT MICROSOFT BOUGHT ZENIMAX AND BETHESDA!!!!!
Not really for two entries, you're trying too hard to fit things in your boxes. FO1 was relatively unknown while FO3 was a driving push for gaming on their generation. FO3 was not some obscure indie hit from a minor company, it was a multi-million dollar success story that was expected to make money.
F76 did exactly what it wanted to do: multiplayer Fallout. It's been a financial success for the company and has brought in millions of dollars, the complete opposite of BoS. Also the events of Fallout 76 are mostly canon, whereas even before Bethesda BOS was considered non-canon by many. The only thing you can tie the two together with is the perceived player reaction to BOS/F76, but even then that still doesn't hold true due to the huge 76 community. Most of the "hate" was pushed by "BETHESDA BAD" people, the rest had fun with the game and are still playing it.
I get the intention, but Bethesda was purchased because of their successes, Interplay sold Fallout due to their failures.
Your story in the beginning reminds me of the time I passed my 6th grade English class by screwing around all year and then writing my final on Fallout 3, more specifically the Dunwhich building. Gooood times

i got started on fallout in 2010 with fallout 3 because of my brother and being as young as i was, i couldn't fully understand what was going on, but something in my mind clicked with that game. from then on i looked forward to other fallout games. my brother informed me that another one was coming out the same year, within a few months of this time. from then on i played new vegas with my brother relentlessly. we got all the unique guns, played through the entire story in all the different ways you can, and basically did everything you can do in new vegas. i was still about 6-7 years old, so i still couldn't fully realize what was going on. but, i was capable enough to kind of know, and enjoy the game a great deal while playing it with my brother. come time for fallout 4, i was about 10 years old. i was capable enough to basically understand everything that was going on in the fallout games and all the announcements at E3. i was so overly exaggeratedly hyped, i literally downloaded a fallout 4 timer app on my iphone 6s. it came out and it was the first release night I've ever went to, and when we went to the gamestop we pre-ordered from there was a line across the entire sidewalk of the plaza we were in. we get our copy, go home, and play it for like 5 minutes and go to sleep. we were out of it. but, the next day we turned it on at night and fully experienced it. i fell asleep half was through and he played the entire thing overnight. and i barely played it afterward. i just didn't, i literally don't remember why. 2 years later i get a pc, and new vegas and 4 are some of the first games i buy. this is when i could fully experience them on my own. and i did. new vegas is hands down my favorite game of all time. logging 400 hours on pc and probably 300 on console with my brother. fallout 4 i have 450, and half of those are from mods and the expansive new melee system and weapons system that i could make new and different builds with. i loved it, but it still fell short for me. fallout 3 and nv were always better in my eyes. 76 rolls around and by that time i'm a year younger than i am now. and as much as i hate to say it, i simply can't trust bethesda anymore. having been a fan for a decade and only being 15 years old, 76 is genuinely one of the worst games I've played, no doubt. even with the new updates. maybe i'm blinded by the wave of criticism that came with it, or the internet historian video, i still hate it. i feel betrayed tbh. having been supporting bethesda for way over half of my life, and they make an obvious cash grab that was a slap in the face to fans. one of the problems being the severely outdated engine, and then they say their new ip and the new elder scrolls are being built in the same engine?! its unfathomable tbh. hopefully, they can redeem themselves, what they don't realize is that if they just listen to the fans and create an actual good game again, that money will come. i guess why put the effort in when you can put in a quarter of that effort and make the same money? but they can't do that anymore because of 76. everyone is not gonna pre-order til they see gameplay, and not gonna buy until they see reviews. if they pull a 76 with their next game, bethesda is out of the window. it really sucks.
I really hope the next fallout transcends all the new IPs coming out now. It really kills me to see where it is now.

New Vegas personally was my favorite, the dlcs are amazing and hardcore mode was a nice touch to the game , survival mode in 4 is just straight up frustrating
Everything about that game is frustrating.
"Even this first entry was considered a bit dated." Although in comparison now, the isometric view (UI is a different story) makes it seem timeless compared to those other games that now seem quite dated
God no, the game looks horribly dated, even ignoring the UI it's not difficult to tell that it's really old, the fact it's isometric just means you can zoom out and hide from the fact
I just pray fallout 5 goes back to what made the first 2 amazing. KINDA like how the newest call of duty has been much better than the past several entries
Lol Bethesda will never do thatm
Man the sniping weapons and glitches in Cold War ruin all of it
Lol call of duty is literally always the same wym
I do not keep up with the CoD series, and I have learned that the best two ways to remain ignorant are to accept everything and to reject everything.
Instead, I would like to ask; what did the latest entry do differently?

I like them all they have good things about all of them
Fallout- one of a kind started it's own jornra
Fallout 2- buildt upon the foundations of fallout and added more mechanics and a better story
Fallout 3- amazing 3d game with amazing depth and choices small things you can do can litterly alter the game
Fallout new vegas- amazing story and rpg elements
Fallout 4- new settlement features allowing you to build your own post nuclear society's
Fallout 76- interactions with your friends and being able to go on adventures with your friends
Always good to look on the positive side of things.

I wouldn’t call 3’s story and decisions as “deep”. The only really “deep” choice that actually made me consider what to choose is the one in the Pitt.
I've played both Fallout 3 and New Vegas, but I actually prefer Fallout 3. I don't hate New Vegas, I like it to a certain degree, but it just didn't have enough to shoot at. Also, the new ammo system was also poorly implemented in my opinion, and the Legion was a joke.

Fallout has been my favorite game series ever since I picked it up in 2009 I was 11 I wasn't ready made it way more shocking.
I have a weird question. I just beat Fallout 1, and I'm finally starting to get into 2... but it seems way more difficult to me for some reason. Would I be missing a lot by turning the combat difficulty down? Normally I'm all about a decently challenging experience, but I noticed that even in Fallout 1 I wasn't REALLY enjoying myself until I got power armor and stumbled across an Alien Blaster. It made it a lot more fun to take chances and explore more, and it made the second half of the game WAAAYY better for me.
I dunno, it just feels weird to set a game to easy and I would honestly almost feel ashamed to. I'm the type who usually likes to get perfect scores in Devil May Cry and no-death runs in Souls games.
What I'm asking is, *ahem*, "O FALLOUT GOD ABOVE, DOST THOU GIVETH ME PERMISSION TO SET MY GAME TO EASY?"
No shame in turning it on wimpy, and game level on easy. When I was a kid, I learned how to play it by using a character editor to geek my Chosen One to full stats and level. One hit punching everyone for fun. Never be worried about making it more fun for you.
Your not wrong actually about fallout 2 being harder and I believe the reason is that they really railroad you on what you can do on builds and weapon tier availability, from the sounds of it you are someone who likes energy weapons and tech based stuff both of which are late game with energy weapons being almost useless unless you level it up slowly over time
@@williamsova9313 Aye, my most common builds in Fallout 3 and New Vegas are Heavy Guns and Energy Weapons, respectively. Pretty sure Fallout 2 hates me ಥ╭╮ಥ
Yeah you really have to work hard on the build you want for fallout 2, they demand you put points in hand to hand, melee weapons and other primitive preferred skills, then when you get to late early game then you can move up to guns and other civilized skills and then late tier you will get access to energy weapons
it is actually lot easier if you invest all your point in melee early on. only after you can get reliable rifles should you invest in guns
Patrolling in Fallout 76 almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter.
This was very intresting
Writing the entire plot in novel form sounds like me in school wanting to do the doom soundtrack as a song request,
Great vid!
3, and new vegas are my favorite. I still play them. Your childhood experience with fallout 1, and 2 sound like how I experienced 3, and NV. I didn't have any negative outcomes from missing all that school though. I did spend most of my time, I was at school, with fallout on my mind. Up until I grew up, and found out girls were more important haha. As an adult though, that nostalgia I built up keeps me returning to the universe. Partly for the lore, partly for that rare hit of sweet, sweet nostalgia. Even so, because I always played the games the same, same build, same choices. I discover new things while playing even to this day.
RIP Frank Horrigan. You’ll be remembered in our hearts.
Fallout was a big part of my Tennage years Good old Days Greets from Germany
Another quality video, keep up the good work mantis
Heart hole is filled. Subbed.
ill be honest i was introduced to the series when i was rummaging threw my dad's old games and found vanilla fallout 3, i soon played threw most of it that summer and got new Vegas and fallout 4 that Christmas and honestly fallout 4 is my favorite, but after deciding to get the original 2 recently i can entirely understand where fans come from with their opinions on fallout 4. i relate the originals more to dnd than fallout 4. also yea i have a bitter taste in my mouth from the extreme over exploitation from 76 but i just friking LOVE the lore from the series and also honestly from 76. as also what you were saying the lore is really intriguing to me.
I just couldn't get into Fallout 4. But I respect the fact you like it. I've replayed Fallout 1, 2, 3 & FNV too many times to count. I played Fallout 4 when it first came out but never again.
@@kummakummakummakummakummac8606
I understand that. I got into playing new vegas since then and I frikin love it. I still will like fallout 4 the most because it was the first I REALLY got into and enjoyed the characters and lore of. Fallout 4 just seemed (and still does seem) like a massive Improvement on 3. But it's lower since I have really played NV. I wonder if the pre-made character is what got most people off it, or the... different sorta story. It is just weird to me how it's not liked to any of the others, for actual game play and game I think its near to fallout 1. But I can also see how insanely different it is to the rest.
I bought the first Fallout right after its release in 1997, inspired by a brief combat demo. I was amazed by its post apocalyptic world and its gameplay depth. Then #2 followed and it was spectacular. Then came Bethesda :(
Thank you for always keeping it real
I had a similar experience with Fallout 4, it came out 2 days after my birthday and I was also 11 at the time I remember playing it so much during December vacation.
I'm not the biggest fallout fan, I only played New Vegas because a friend told me to, but I loved it, then got all the DLC (OWB is the best no cap) so maybe I'm not really the most accurate source, but Fallout 76 just sort of feels off
I think it's even more telling that you are new to the series but still notice that it's off. Thanks for watching!
Nice to hear opinions from some more fresh fans to the series! Also MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOBIUS (I loved OWB too, feel that all the DLC's have their own content and story to tell, but OWB was just dope, especially since the humor really appealed to me).
"What makes a game good?" Writing!
Cod:MW2? Overwatch? TF2? Writing only matters in story driven games, not all games.
@@william_prescott_ii3277 Thats really all i ever play, well except for unreal tournament.
@@william_prescott_ii3277 Also a good story and good gameplay could be at odds with each other, like GTA 4 for a example, 4 is about Niko a man who have been mentally destroyed by war and how his life is just taking orders, but in gameplay you're running over people because their bodies do a funny
@@nickrustyson8124 That's true, but an average person doesn't play GTA for the story. They play it because they can blow up stuff, kill cops, do crime and much more. Sure gta 4 has a great story but that doesn't mean that's what people remember.
Correction.
What makes a *role playing game* good?
Writing!
Specifically.
The breadth depth, and severity of the choices and consequences of the writing.
Good way to start an early work day. Love this
@TKs-Mantis could you do a video on the Gecks lore? Like who made it, how it works, any conspiracy or secrets on it, etc?
Discord Notification gang 😎
It works!
Don't get me wrong I love Frank Horrigan but saying he's the best boss in gaming history is massive cap
Agreed. Even just within the Fallout universe, The Master is a way better villain than Frank Horrigan.
I agree. The best villain in gaming history is the guy from Ride to Hell Retribution
I FINALLY FOUND THAT MAYBE COVER THANK YOU MANTIS
When you said you wrote out the full stories for fallout 1 and 2 in class that reminds me when I was in grade 5 and we had a writing assignment so I wrote the entire plot of Metroid prime hunters
Im pretty sure if you look at steam more people play fo3 and fnv than fo76. Hell i started playing neverwinter nights 2 instead of fo76
Comparison
Bethesda: Todd Howard, Emil Pagliarulo, Pete Hines.
Games: Fallout 3, Fallout 4, Fallout 76, The Elder Scrolls series.
Obsidian: Tim Cain, Josh Sawyer, Chris Avellone.
Games: Fallout 1, Fallout 2, Fallout: New Vegas, Pillars of Eternity series, Tyranny, The Outer World, Vampires The Masquerade: Bloodlines, Neverwinter Nights 2, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 2, South Park: The Stick of Truth.
Bethesda is a Virgin, Obsidian is a Chad since they made a very great and better RPGs.
But Skyrim is still more popular than all of them
Aktually, if you site Bethesda games, please site all of them, if you don't know, allow me to fill you in :
Wayne Gretzky Hockey 1 and 2,Terminator 2029, Rampage, Future shock, Skynet,TES Arena, Daggerfall,Battlespire, Redguard, Morrowind, Oblivion,Skyrim, Fallout 3, 4, 76, shelter.
If you try to compare the two, at least recognise all their games not a portion of em
@@sheevbaratholone1963 Hence why I'm listed above "The Elder Scrolls series" since half of those games that you mentioned are from Elder Scrolls. Plus Fallout Shelter is made by Behavior Interactive, Bethesda only responsible for the Fallout license.
@@sirusername2750 Skyrim being popular doesn't mean it's a better game.
@@channe3049 But yyou mentioned Fallout 1,2, New Vegas. Why didn't you say The Fallout series ? Besides, TES is apopular franshise, not just Skyrim
i haven't played the first fallout but i really liked "shadow run" on SNES back in the day, that was the first RPG i'd ever played and i loved it cyberpunk style. the 2 games look kind of similar.. i've always wanted to see a new "shadowrun" release for current consoles.
I gotta say I related to being awkward and the loner that was in ISS all to well. Thanks for Sharing and such a great video.
I'm glad you talked about the decline of the series in Interplay's hands. I'll take Fallout 3 and Fallout 4 over Tactics and BOS any day. Neither party is innocent. That being said, if the next Fallout game in 2030 is as bad as Fallout 76, Bethesda will see no sympathy from me.
I know most people will disagree with me, but I loved Fallout 4. I think Fallout 4 definitely had its flaws, but overall was an amazingly fun and good looking game.
Yeah I still play it to this day it’s a great game
These videos are just awesome.
While you were making this video, I found a settlement that needs OUR help, here, I'll mark it on YOUR map!
Fallout 1 was “Fallout” distilled. Fallout 2 was a massive expansion to the world but came close to “Jumping the Shark” in how zany and comedic the game became at points. But it was still true to the Fallout theme. Fallout 1 as you pointed out was bleak and showed a destroyed world with a bittersweet ending, Fallout 2 showed a build that was “building” back.
Fallout 3 was still incredible in my opinion and it was my first entrance into the franchise. I have fond memories. I find the original ending satisfying in away(death of player in sacrifice). Broken Steel though was a welcome addition and I was able to accept it as though maybe not “necessary” but welcome.
Fallout New Vegas is Fallout 3D done right and I wish Bethesda had continued its story.
Fallout 4 was.....a cliff dive. The game was good...but it was losing what made it “fallout”. There was no more bare desolate towns just trying to survive in a broken and desolate world. The entire city of Boston was practically untouched(for no good reason unlike New Vegas). But it’s dialogue was atrocious. There was no real choice in Fallout 4, just choices Bethesda wanted you to choose. And it no longer had the “Fallout Theme”. Everything in the world was misused and nothing felt familiar as a Fallout game.
And fallout 76 is self explanatory. The death of Fallout as a franchise that excites me.
Great video, dude! Fallout 2 is my favourite, personally, but I believe that New Vegas is hands down the best. Certainly not perfect, but I feel the aspects it did best should be the gold standard for future Fallout games, not that I expect Bethesda to learn anything from NV, though.
Fallout Nv: 1 years and 8 months of devellopement
Bethesda: 5 years for each game.
the part about your early school life describes my school life so well its almost scary
It’s 2008, I’m young and finishing freshmen year of high school. Times are good, and I talk about Broken Steel nonstop with great friends. 2020 and I’ve yet to touch Fallout 76, that hurts.
Preston Garvey not interacting with the player can only be a good thing.
"The decline of bethesda" would be more fitting
Bethesda games were never good. They just own good universes.
No it wouldn't. Half the problem was the decline of Interplay.
damn bro, you talking about your time spent in ISS almost made me cry. all too familiar with that ISS room in middle school. such a shitty feeling when you feel like nobody likes you and your teacher doesnt want to waste their energy helping you grow in an important time of your life snd would rather just send you to what’s basically jails’ isolation.
Such a good point about the irony of the commercialization of fallout with vault boy being the mascot made originally in the spirit of parodying over-commercialization
I gotta say fallout 4 was pretty good, gun play was amazing. Far harbor was an amazing DLC. Fallout 76 for me at least wasn't the worst, I actually have fun playing it when I'm with the right group. Solo play was mehh. My personal preference I would play 76 over brotherhood of steel or tactics.
I get down on Fallout 4 all the time.
I really liked Fallout 4, about the same as new Vegas, but for different reasons. Fallout 76 however was just terrible. What I and I think many really wanted was a multiplayer campaign similar to other open world games like Dying Light has. Maybe even a mode where you can control a super mutant behemoth or mirelurk queen in someone else’s world.
The biggest issue with Fallout is how the RPG elements that started the series have been progressively watered down in favour of expanding on the combat. This is remarkable for a series where you could literally talk the final boss out of his plan to conquer the world in FO1. FO76 shows the studio has lost interest in the heart of FO as an RPG and FO4 showed this decline as the vast majority of the stories were fetch quests or "kill x number of y" missions. The settlement system was intended to create first-person tower defense gameplay and the mod system again showed more interest in the FPS than the RPG.
FO's closest cousin is the Deus Ex series. This franchise too started to lose sight of its roots as Invisible War was nearly a straight up FPS and Human Revolution also leaned towards the FPS side due to its "boss fights". As much as Mankind Divided was disliked due to an unresolved narrative, I see that as revealing a strength of the game - people were engaged by the story. Both FO and DE owe their roots to the CRPG and that in turn originates from the tabletop-RPG where the underlying appeal was freedom of choice not combat. FO is in decline due to losing sight of it's roots and in danger of becoming a generic FPS.
Is it bad I listen to these to fall asleep your voice is calming 😂
