- On this episode of Wha Happun, we get taken home to West Virigina once again, to see all the befuddling bumbles that Bethesda's been up to for the last 12 months.

Bethesda is now literally acting like Vault-tec. Just testing things out on people with no remorse or regret
Thats the Real fallout 76,yoi being thr test sibject, and bethesda te Sting how much shit in the face can you take
@@ignacio1759 wow, are you okay? D:
Fallout 76 is actually just a arg
Seems about right.
Bethvaulstec?
Controversy so nice, you had to hit it twice
Can't wait for part 3
Pretty sure there’s enough material here to possibly fill up four videos, not counting the future screw ups there’s going to be.
can't wait for the documentary tetralogy
I guess the '76' stands for how many times Bethesda has fucked up their PR in the span of one year
@@TwighlightLugia The they've dug goes *FAR* beyond the number 76
You should narrate Todd Howard's twitter posts with myuu tracks in the background
As a software developer, let me paint a picture what it's like to work on a project with as many people as that.
Imagine you are a cook working on a big 5-course meal for a huge amount of people. So you are just cooking pasta with salt. No big deal, you did it a thousand times before. But suddenly you notice that someone changed the salt you were using into sugar. It was definetly salt when you started. But three other cooks already started making cakes with what is now sugar. So you can't just change it back. And your supervisor is screaming at you to just get the freaking pasta done. How incompetent do you have to be to screw up pasta after all? So you panic and throw a bunch of spices into the mix so that in the end the pasta ends up tasting at least somewhat like pasta cooked with salt. Now another cook starts making a more elaborate pasta-dish with your pasta. But he assumes it's just pasta cooked with salt and doesn't know what a mess it really is underneath.
Now imagine that that is just a single week in a multi-year long cooking session. And halfway through the owner comes down and tells you all to make a barbeque instead, but to not throw away any of the already-cooked food since it was so expensive to make and to just reuse it somehow.
In addition they had to start from Fallout 4 which was already deeply flawed. So I guess it's equivalent to getting in part rotten ingredients to work with.
Pretty sure in bethesda's case there was also a blindfolded donkey high on mushrooms running free in the kitchen all the time.
So management and the entire development process philosophy are broken AF, gotcha.
Software developer here, this hurts especially because you are on put on a project for several months and then the manager's boss says, you know what screw it, we're going to use a third-party solution. So you are basically told to throw that work into the trash.
ccricers been there before.
I remember someone on twitter described Wastelanders “last year we gave you the car. Now get ready for... the wheels!” And I don’t think there’s a more accurate description of this dumpster fire. I look forward to part 3 next year.
So...what's your opinion on steel reign?
@@thetrophygamer3606 that's great since that engine is the oldest thing there
@@thetrophygamer3606 and both the wheels and the engine are way more heavier than the car itself
Is wish Fallout would go back to looking and feeling gritty like before, like a actual wasteland. 4 and 76 look way too bright and colourful and way more light hearted sadly
Also your car only gets 2 mpg and if you go any faster then 30mph your car may explode, also the AC doesn't work
“Our servers can’t handle all the items you get so we need to lower your carrying capacity”
“Oh hey btw we added an infinite scrap box”
At least one of those statements was honest...
But from what I have seen, the latter is the lie.
The scrap box deleted the scraps that you have stored as well.
In another update on the scrap box they confirmed that is really deleting the items and said that they can't recover the items
So the servers really can't handle all the items cuz the are garbage
@@purgatory3653 no what that was, was a mega glitch where if your game crashed or closed wrong while you were in your camp, that's what would delete your items. So basically if you're even remotely in danger of crashing, stay away from your camp. Still pretty fucking funny though
@@zTxMeta that first time I have heard of that. Also I know that in reality it's possible, as long as you have enough data storage and that the hardware can handle it. Also because it's only store scraps it's way easier to do it in terms of storage capacity
Still you get like on the comment from me since you are the first one to explain to me how the bug works
Ariel Shefi it was only people who bought it October 25th, many people lost it as soon as they used it as it wasn’t stable, they fixed it an a patch and gave a crazy amount of junk back to players who lost stuff, but many players still have yet to receive anything.
It's almost hard to believe that Bethesda was helmed as a beloved gaming company 2 years ago.
Ehh, more like beloved gaming company 4 years ago.
They always were shit. But, they had fans to cover for their incompetence and they didnt have so many avenues to be greedy. Now everyone can see then for what they really are
@@tomaszurbaniak4312 If only Nintendo fanboys would wake up.
Fallout 1st was the day they died
You couldn't possibly be any more wrong. This hatred didn't appear out of the blue, it's been slowly boiling for the past ten years, if not longer.
Episode 3: "Wha Has Continued to Happun"
Episode 4: "Wha Happun Since the Last Time It Did"
Episode 5: "The Nature of Inevitable Happunings and Why God Doesn't Play Dice"
"Happun-ings"*
Hehe lol no.
TINY UPDATES/ADDITIONS:
Bethesda's main HQ is in Rockville, Maryland, not Baltimore. Article I used erroneously reported that.
Bethesda later confirmed that the Scrapbox issue was way worse. It wasn't a UI bug, people actually did lose their scrap.
The moldy death Power Armor helmet was a GameStop exclusive pre-order. Not many were sold, cuz they were for Fallout 76.
Some guy bought the Falloutfirst domain, and is a parody site poking fun at Bethesda's....everything: falloutfirst.com/
Bethesda banned a fan/modder who tried to help them squash bugs.
Also there was the problem of Bethesda having to ban a player for sustained homophobic harassment, not their fault but still. Oh and the Cyber Monday price drop debacle. Then there was the time that a player got banned after they played for over 900 hours because they had too much ammo. Oh and the bobby pin problem where the bobby pins in game weighed way more than they do in real life so somebody sent Todd Howard some actual Bobby Pins with a note that said "weigh these."
In case anyone clicked on the link, it seems to be down now.
@@drwilyecoyote5357 didn't click it as it was a virus warning for me
The hits just keep coming and they don't stop coming!
Also, the best part of the missing scrap is that they pretended like it was a display issue despite it absolutely not being a display issue.
Bethesda slapping their fans in the face!
"Are you sure you're not just reading it wrong? Did you try turning it off and on again? Did you download the latest megapatch?"
Bethesda is starting to smell like Apple™ and it's rotten
Jovon Blackwood it was a display issue for some. The problem was they initially said it was JUST a display issue, then rushed out a whoops we messed up response.
@@lucillefrancois150 they shouldv'e pulled a valve and delayed it for 7 years
then coming out with a masterpiece
This isn't a dumpster fire, it's a LANDFILL fire!
This dumpster fire is sure keeping me warm this winter.
dont get too close or youll get radiation poisoning. Plus melanoma.
And plug your nose up or you’ll get bronchitis
And don't stare at it for too long or you'll become blind to their lies.
@@third-ratedude4234 Time to piss off North Korea!
@@motorcycleman115 and dont breathe it in... unless you want fibromyalgia..
@@motorcycleman115 or have 16 times the detail
The best thing to come out of this whole thing was the fact a fan bought the domain before Bethesda could and just went to town making a professional/Legit looking website just absolutely shitting on the game
What's the websites name?
@@nathanschmitz2302I think it was the fallout 1st membership website
"Money me get, boats and leather coats I will buy."
...I want merchandise with that phrase on it.
Thanks for the transcript! That line is my favorite out of the whole video.
You might have missed Bethesda's second statement about the scrapbox:
For some players, it WAS NOT a display issue, and their scrap WAS JUST GONE.
Well, if your scrap is gone, it's truly infinite storage capacity.
Fallout 76 accidentally sparked an MMO gang war, and I think that’s hilarious
This is gonna have to be a cornerstone of MMO design history
The Fallout 76 Class War is going to be studied by scientists like the Corrupted Blood incident from WoW was.
people actually play this shit?
i
God very original
Yeah that "war" never really happened
@@LordArikado I've seen and read about griefing and in-game economies collapsing, but a straight-up class war in an MMO is some i have to see to believe
In the third installment, I wonder what the nwe update title eill be:
"What's Still Happening?"
GenerationWest "Why does this keep happening?"
"What let's this keep happening"
I'm from the future.
What IS still happening with Fallout 76? It kinda slinked away into the night, I think.
Paying to have a private world.... In my day every game already came with that function.
Did Fallout 2 have a 6-player co-op?
every game that features socialising to the point where you'd need a private world, obviously. FO2 wasn't a social game. FO76 is trying to look like one.
@@admiraltonydawning3847 dude, no fallout game had 6 player coop besides 76. And despite that, the classic series (1 and 2) are still considered very good. If anything, getting closer to the classics series makes for better games (as seen with New Vegas, despite the game being insanely broken).
Lots of other games also have this function such as Minecraft with Realms.
We warned you about the stair Todd

More like 16 times the 16 times the controversies.
The preorder merch debacle really is an excellent microcosm of the whole thing. In an effort to rush things and cut corners in order to make more money, they ended up costing themselves far more (in both money and goodwill) than it would have if they had simply done it right in the first place.
Man, that Ratchet and Clank music in the background? Beautiful. Fantastic video, man! Keep up the fantastic content!

Aw yes, I too remember when Bethesda put class warfare in the game.

Seriously, Matt? I can't trust you if you're going to completely lie about even the most basic facts about the situation. It was called "The Duffel Kerfuffle", thank you very much!
Like the Sly Cooper/Ratchet and Clank music? The funny inserts? The bit with me fumbling saying "MMORPG"? All the work of Bobdunga: th-cam.com/users/NeutralNerdBird check her out!
Sly Cooper music? I could have sworn I was hearing Ratchet anf Clank music
@@thelordelric8424 There's both.
Just from an outsider’s perspective, it’s been utterly fascinating to see a company like Bethesda continue to piss all of their good will down the drain with one game. It... it just doesn’t seem possible, but just when you think it’s over, some new ridiculous controversy comes out. Will they get their good reputation back? I don’t know. I’m just saying, this feels like it’s going to be studied in history books years from now to some capacity.
The games industry is a great source of horrible business decisions for Business Studies Text books. Remember Microsoft's incompetent launch of Xbox one? Remember Ouya?
Elder Scrolls Blades? Creation Club? Some controversial parts of Fallout 4?
I think at this point, Starfield will have to literally be the best game they've ever made, if they want to regain people's trust. Folks will NOT give them the same amount of leeway on bugs and jank that they used to enjoy. Starfield needs to prove they've actually broken their habit of half-assed playtesting and optimization.
ya history books of how not to throw a billion dollar company down the drain lol
@@jgw9990 At least these didn't spread your bank/credit card information to the public nor did it try to kill you after charging you some extra amount of cash x) I guess it's a bit unfair to pin that one on Bethesda, but let's be honest, Fallout 76, it has to have been cursed by some powerful occult group, everything it touches decays and turn to ashes.
As other have said, I never had such a great time from a game I didn't buy or played x)
Matt has done his part, I wish Internet Historian did Fall Of 76's sequel now.

Yep, been 9 months, and I still wish for a part 3.
There were things that some people aren't aware of, and of course other flustercucks that everyone heard about, but it would still be hilarious to get a video summing them all up.
Examples:
- Physical retail editions being a cardboard disc with a download code on them. Imagine going to the store for that sweet, sweet collectible physical copy and having that frickin' CARDBOARD circle of garbage stare back at you when you open that case. Why the F would anyone want to go buy a cardboard download code when you can buy it digitally?! God almighty.
- That guy who was banned for collecting too much ammo in-game? Say what you will about cracking down on cheaters, but when your 'anti-cheat' mechanisms take a game away from someone who PAID for it, who enjoyed the game enough to get that far and was not cheating... then demanding a mother-loving ESSAY to say why collecting too much ammo is bad in a series where you scavenge and craft? That is unforgivable, among the sea of unforgivable acts.
- The guy banned for helpfully cataloging and reporting on in-game bugs? Jeezus, if they can't tell who their friends are, they're not going to survive.
- New patches re-introducing old bugs that were previously fixed.
- Old bugs not being fixed for 400+ days? (Instances of enemies being healed for half the damage dealt to them.)
- Hackers spawning assets and NPCs from prior Fallout titles into the game? Hackers beat the devs in implementing NPCs! That's hilarious to me.
- Or how about that time they couldn't figure out how people were getting into the dev room to take all those items, and tried to bribe those people who were banned with their accounts back? Tell me how you did it, pwetty pwease, tee hee, UwU~~. There are screenshots online of those e-mails.
- The infamous inventory-stealing hack? There's some videos of people doing this. Goodbye legendary items you got from an abysmally low drop rate, from monsters with an abysmally low spawn rate!
- That hilarious Fallout First website that a guy bought from under their nose? Did they REALLY advertise a web domain for their crappy subscription for a paid game, and not check that someone at their company actually acquired that domain first?! THAT twists the nipples of the soul.
- Also, I still find it hilarious that in Australia, the ACCC had ordered ZeniMax to issue refunds. "ZeniMax has acknowledged that they are likely to have misled certain Australian consumers about their rights to a refund when they experienced faults with their Fallout 76 game," ACCC Commissioner Sarah Court said.
Goodness Gracious.
Yes I need more of this dumpster fire.
Damn...
Watch internet historian he goes into much more
"TO ARMS MY COMRADES WE WILL DESTROY THE BOURGEOIS! FOR THE GLORIOUS UNION"

Thank God we haven't seen a Liberty Prime yet
Then again if there is a Liberty Prime in 76, chances are it'll just crash the server the moment it spawns
Warhammer fans are better than fallout fans in this regard.
Bethesda is so inept that when Wastelanders comes out it will set fire to the consoles of those who didn't even buy the game.
The base game is already bricking consoles.

HE HAS SPOKEN
I wrapped my PS4 in asbestos just in case, even though I've never so much as looked at the store page. Can't be too careful!
Fallout 76 feels like it came out a month ago... but it's been a year.
*Time flies*
And it's still in The state of alpha
Especially when you run while looking straight down
It's funny that you say that, cause it looks like it came out a month ago, has three years worth of controversy surrounding it, and yet it has only been out a year
I would argue that players harrasing fallout firsters over the subscription was not just jealousy, but ire at the fact that they are pretty much rewarding bethesda for horrible business practices. By doing that, they are telling bethesda "good job! keep doing that!"
Small update from YongYea: Hackers have decided to take liberty to mess around with the free weekend with cheat scripts that allow spawning of NPC and items. Happy holidays.

"Fall" would imply that the game had been in a place it could fall from to begin with.
@@plasticflower It was so bad it fell through the bottom of the barrel

Just came here after reading the recent Kotaku article. Definitely gonna need a part 3, IMO.
What happened? No pun intended.

Honestly, Fallout 76 is probably shittier than Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff. At least SBaHJ is INTENTIONALLY hilariously bad.
@@jamiedoesstuff5871 The funny part is how hussie had to put in more work to make it look as shitty as possible
Part three should be “What god let this happen?” if it’s somehow even worse than we imagine.
Godd let it happen. Godd Howard that is. 16 times the cock ups.
What god let it happun
More like why Todd let this happen...seriously God would just shut down fallout 76 by now, close up shop and move on instead of Todd who seems determined to produce 16 times the controversies.
You believe in false personified deities hahahahahha
"Why is the floor all wet Todd!?"
I don't KNOW Margo!
It's To-hodd and Margo-hoe
there, i fixed it for you.
I love that how about a week after this came out that Fallout 76 released a patch that literally let people put in anything from Fallout 4 in, make their own broken Legendary items, and create NPCs (faster than they can) that guards/defends the player, on top of making it so that reloading literally breaks all Legendary Armor buffs. This game is the weirdest Pandora's Box of stupid ever.
Edit: Someone even summoned a Brotherhood of Steel sky fortress and spawned the nuclear strike spawn.
I lost it when he said "It'll have exotic features such as... NPCs!" lmao
Same
If there is a part 3, it should be titled “WUTS GOING ON”
*Whas goin on?
Fixed it for ya
Why won’t it stop?
part 4 simply titled "wat"
By the gods, there's a psycopath on the loose!
'What ELSE could possibly go wrong?'
"to make sure the work we're doing hits our quality bar"
Shouldn't be too hard. That bar is pretty low.
"hits our quality bar"
......what...the floor?
If you ever consider yourself to be a colossal failure remember that Fallout 76 exists.
Wished it used that WHA ELSE HAPPUN logo from some episodes ago. Still, I’m so excited for this one
So, they literally just gave the code of Fallout 4 and tell someone ¨Take this and make it a MMO RPG Survival, in like 2 years¨ ? this sounds a lot like a boss that havent try programming at least once.
Not just that
The devs where handed the code from Skyrim to make Fallout 4
Before that they used the code from Fallout 3 to make Skyrim
And before that they used the code from Oblivion to make Fallout 3
That's why there are bugs that are so old that they are about to become old enough to drink
Bethesda never fixed shit
It's a house of sticks being kept in place using tape
It's not smart re-using
It's reanimating the dead 5 times and expecting people to just buy it
@@MrPF Well the games have been buggy and unpolished ever since Oblivion and they each sold a massive amount of copies. So if there's anything that Bethesda has learned over the years, it's that gamers don't care whether a game is buggy or not.
I think some modders have made multiplayer Oblivion a thing, so, uh, that's gotta sting.
@@plasticflower well to be fair to those games they had the quality content and dedicated modders that allowed gamers to overlook the bugs, something this game lacked
13:12 Welp, ironic. A piece of merch based on something in-game that's meant to help people breathe, gave people lung issues.
*"Twists the nipples of the soul"* is my new favorite phrase. I'm gonna use it whenever someone harasses or even just inconveniences me.
You know what’s really bizarre? We live in a time now where Bethesda became the controversial company with their broken live service game and EA is the one who made a great single player game with Fallen Jedi Order
A glorious Rustlemania moment, the beloved Bethesda shocking the world with a sharp heel turn and the surprise to the fans near and far with EA doing a dynamic face turn!
It's just one game. EA still has a long way to go to redeem itself
Don't give EA too much credit. All they did was PUBLISH Fallen Order.
Fallen Order ain’t good enough to redeem a long list of bs, and Dead Space as a series started out golden and look where that went.
The BS of EA is so repulsive and plentiful that Fallen Jedi Order is just a drop of water in a desert, a desert which keeps expanding and will cover the whole planet in the comming years.
I've been tempted to buy the game to see just how bad it is with my own eyes, then I realised that I would be validating and funding Bethesda to release garbage like this onto the market.
just by a controller at gamestop and youll get one for free
Or just buy it used the Bethesda won’t see a penny
Go for pre-owned. Only the store that's selling it will see the profits
The problem with a video like this about a game like this is that the video immediately dates itself because there's shit happening with this game on almost a weekly basis. Not long after this went up, people were running around spawning Fallout 4 assets including NPCs and stealing other players' entire inventories from them.
Let me sing you the song of my people, "lets all laugh at a industry that never learned anything tehehe"
Aaaaaaaah, i see you are a man of zero punctuation culture.
I like how they say they're delaying a patch until next year.
Why didn't they delay the game until next year instead?
I'm proud of myself for never getting preorders, ever, and never buying dumb games like this.
@@nonyabidness8676 could have just finished fallout 4s dlc cycle and made the least two big story dlc like all there previous fallouts did but no they abadoned that idea for creation club
Funnily enough the first and last time I pre-ordered was a Bethesda game, that dumpster fire fallout 4. Got the season pass, the special edition, the guide book and steel case. Thank fuck I never spunked more money on the pipboy! Would have kicked my own ass for that one

Guess what?
When your game gets a “Wha Happun Pt 2” ,you know you screwed up big time
In less than a year
Now we just need Fall of 76 2: Electric Boogaloo
@Velzek lmao, he literally stated every thing that happened with Dumpsterfire 76
@Velzek Yeah that. You can't do a proper retrospective on a newly released game. Now he had to do a part 2, and I'd say that's still too soon.
I’m in awe of just how badly a cashed up experienced studio like Bethesda can just completely fail at every single step here. It’s actually quite impressive.
There’s a universe where fallout 76 came out and it was actually good there’s also one where fallout 76 never came out those universes I consider the lucky ones
Nah.
Fallout 76 was a tragedy, but a tragedy that didn't take out much of value with it, and that hopefully served as an example to the live service mill, which it does actually seem has kind of died down a bit.
If it wasn't for Fallout 76 going down with such dramatic passion, we would have instead had to endure a much longer, slower downfall, I think, that may have taked down something actually worth mourning.
a day without Bethesda embarrassing itself is like a day without sunshine
I love hearing the Rachet and clank soundtrack in the background 👍🏽
"Geese Howard" killed me lol
I really appreciate the Sly and Ratchet music. Good taste.
To be honest, as soon as "MMORPG" and "made in 1 year", my reaction was "well, that explains a lot". You give an inexperienced team one if the most difficult and time consuming types of game to create in a single year? How was this going to end up anything other than badly?
Not only that, but made on an older engine not built for MMOs or online play. All of that is a recipe for apocalyptic disaster.
@@revaryk6868 actually the original engine that is the basis for Besthesda's engine was actually made for MMOs, they're the ones who modified it to be used in single player games.

Whoops. Should've done the bloody research.
For it to end badly was the INTENT.
@@zerodollarbird Sorry, I'm a bit behind on gamer conspiracy theories, why would a game company attempt to create a broken mess? I get not caring, but *intending* seems a bit of a stretch to me.

Fandom to Bethesda: *Stoooop, he's already dead!*
"...to hit our quality bar..."

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Todd Howard you did it again!
"What Keeps Happening" feels like a so much more dire title. It's like someone calling out from a mire of suffering.
I discovered this channel 2 days ago and I've as of now watched all of the episodes.
Really good content, thanks for being awesome and making washing the dishes fun again.
Really love the Ratchet and Clank music in the background. That shit SLAPS
Bugthesda: Well, we've hit rock bottom, so i guess we can only go up?
Todd: Get the shovels
I love how deep you dig into the backstories of these developers, it really helps explain why these games went wrong and it’s great
Anyone else come back to rewatch this hoping for apart 3?
Hearing that it's hard to start remote work on a game part way through, definitely makes me think there will be a slew of Covid-related flop games in the next few years.
"It just works" I'll see you in part 3 :D
6:30 is that Sly Cooperr music i'm hearing booooi
Such an underrated game series..
3:24
"Mr. Geese Howard opened up about Fallout 76."
"I WIHRU STAIN MA HOUNDS, WID YER BRAAD!"
Haha awesome. I watched part 1 earlier in the week and wondered if a part 2 was ever going to appear. Nice one!
You have no idea how much i love fallout 76.
It's such an extravaganza. A huge mistake after another like its purposely trying to ruin everything for shit and giggles. Its amazing.
When "What _Happened"_ just won't cut it anymore.
Really appreciating the use of Ratchet & Clank music in the background! That game's OST is so underrated :(
4:58
What a perfect quote to sum up the entirety of Bethesda's current competence and stability.
Note that Todd literally repeats the same points twice. Keywords are "bumps", "difficult", and "new".
As a wise McMuscles one said, "Even in real life, Bethesda is still buggy."
Wondering if I should take the lack of a Part 3 as a sign that Bethesda hasn't hecked up majorly with this game in a while.
Oh you couldn't be more wrong. It's just no longer in the public eye, but the game has become so much more predatory, created more advantages for Fallout 1st players, puts all the best camp building items in the Atomic shop, create more busy work (look for junk, craft ammo/gear, grind dailies, events and world bosses, collect in-game currency at a very limited rate, then waste said currency with awful RNG hoping you get the legendary effect you want on the crafted gear, etc), and they keep pumping out the same repetative busy work every update to keep players coming back and spending money. It's an awful predatory game and everyone should stay tf away from it.
Bethesda's "quality bar" is Fallout 4,3 and skyrim. That's low enough to stub my toe on...
@@GiordanDiodato none of them were bad they just were less then what came before but looked better except vegas by obsidian that is equal to the orginals and tactics
@@GiordanDiodato The original ending was trash. To the extent that Besthesda retrospectively changed it due to the scale of criticism. The writing was skin deep at best
Fallout 3 isn't terrible as a game but the writing is atrocious compared to the first two games or NV. Fallout 4 is neat at first but then you gradually realize that it actually has even worse and lazier writing than 3 and the gameplay is just a bunch of unpolished concepts thrown together as if a handful of incomplete ideas somehow makes a complete game. Skyrim was fine when it first released, ignoring all the bugs, PS3 version was a disaster though, but after being rerereleased on literally every console with none of the major bugs ever fixed, it has aged like sour milk. Its writing is pretty bland and uninspired, as well.
@@RevyaAeinsett I disagree about fallout 4. It has a much better story than 3, being more open ended and player choice. Don't get me wrong, fo4s story has a lot of problems, but fo3s story is very linear. Plus, fo4 has great sidequests (The Silver Shroud, USS Constitution, The Devil's Due, etc.)
I love fallout 3, but I feel nostalgia really clouds people's view on it. I respect your opinion, and would like to have a discussion
@@airless7005 Being able to choose between 4 terribly written factions does not in any way make FO4's writing better than 3's. Linearity does not make bad writing, there's more to the game than its main quest, and a few standout side quests doesn't make up for all the other problems. I would also point out that FO1 had a very linear story, and lacked much in the way of side quests, but it's widely regarded as the best written in the series, with NV being the most comparable.
The player's choices in 4 are simplified down to: Yes, Yes(but sarcastically), Tell me more(but probably yes), and No(but probably yes later). Having more people to say yes to isn't what I would consider a good replacement for having _actual_ choices in 3 and NV. 3's writing may not be _better_ than 4's, but 4 is definitely a lot lazier. How many quests in 4 even have alternate outcomes? I can think of several in 3, but outside of choosing factions during the main quest and the occasional ability to reason with someone rather than killing them, I don't remember very many options to end a quest in more than one actually significant way in 4.
I played 4 a _lot,_ even more than 3 probably, and I enjoyed them both well enough, but I'm not gonna pretend either of those games have anything more than mediocre writing at best. And that's not even touching on the _other_ problems.

Wha Happun? This is my favorite series on youtube right now man. Congragulations and amazing job
*Sees Matt's "What Happun Fallout 76 Part 2"*
Me: Oh boy...
when your game unintentionally makes Class-Warfare/ revolutions you have issues
Holy shit that Ratchet & Clank and Sly Cooper music had me feeling so nostalgic.
Lode Runner music! Never thought I would hear this somewhere but I do now. Thanks for the trip down memory lane with that track!
I can hear that Ratchet and Clank soundtrack playing in the background. Rly takes me back
I've said it before and I'll say it again: Every time I think the firefighters over at Bethesda get this trash fire of a game under control, something comes along and pours gasoline over it. Sometimes it's Bethesda themselves!
And now for Cyberpunk 2077 to take up the mantle of Fallout 76. Something tells me that game will have a couple of episodes of its own.
Fallout 76-What Keeps Happening? Part 2 of a 12 part series. By Ken Burns.
I love all the Ratchet & Clank/Sly Cooper music in the background.

this quote always ticks me off. after all this time, it baffles me how Godd Howard basically puts it on players that the game was badly received. 76 wasn't hated because it was something new and people weren't ready for its genius or whatever, the game was hated because it sucked an entire chicken coop of dicks. if it was at very least functional, but no, it was broken beyond comprehension and it lacked an engaging experience to a number of people, the novelty to the series had little to do in comparison with everything else
Fallout 76, it's like a cold. You never wanted it, you got it anyway, it's miserable and it's taking forever to just end already.
I hear that sly cooper background music all low in the mix. A man of culture.
Love that you re visited this. You should do a video on games that turned things around like No Man's Sky, Rainbow Six Seige or Battlefront 2
I'd love a part 3 that (hopefully) wraps up this trilogy all nice and in a bow!
oh shit my girl bob edited this? you go girl!
I've never thought i'd see a class war break out in videogame before. Fascinating.
Not Bethesda saying they don’t follow trends except following every sleazy trend to squeeze as much money out of their fan base as possible - this almost feels like the plot to The Producers 😂😂😂
