It sucks. Like, they didn't care. They've always been a gameplay first philosophy but this was a whole other tier of wtf. Like, I'm not the biggest fan of Skyward Sword but I could see the POTENTIAL of "The Sky". TOTK sky is worse than it 12 years after that game. And I'd debate Wind Waker's "Great Sea" is better than both.

Wow, no idea how youtube knew to throw your video at me but it was one of the best 2024 roundup videos I've watched! Eagerly awaiting whatever you have next :)

Your suggestions are all the things sim settlements 2 added to fo4

I was about to what about majoras mask and wind waker would've also added links awakening

Want to echo other comments and note how strong your writing is. Absolutely phenomenal stuff. Every sentence feels thought out and convincing. Well done, can’t wait to see you blow up soon!

Given Emil and Todds responses to Shattered Space criticism. I have zero hope Starfield will improve, and ES6 will be bad for sure. I almost wish I was never a fan of their past games, it hurts seeing the arrogance and decline from Bethesda.

Your writing is insanely good. I really felt the passion you have for all these games. I'm a slightly smaller channel who makes similar video essays and listening to this pumped me up to work on my next project. Keep it up!

I'm confident your channel is going to grow big and soon. It has the high production value and thoughtful writing in channels I've seen that tend to grow fast. Glad to be here in those early days! Good luck on your RUclips journey :)

love the high quality videos!

Bro called the video "making peace with Fallout 4" but all I'm hearing in this entire video is a bunch of b1tching and moaning. Doesn't sound to me like he's made any peace at all and just wanted to complain. Lol Terrible channel. Disliked and told YT to never give me this guy's vids again. 🖕

I've learned to love fallout 4 as a base building apocalypse game with some fun combat systems in place. The story is unbearable and the quest aren't fun at pretty much any point, so I don't love it for those reasons, but the ability to set up all settlements as mini diamond city empires is so fun

@6:47 Fresh, new idea!? Huh? Did we... play the same game? Has Zelda not sacrificed herself in previous titles before? Did she not sacrifice herself in BotW? Like I'm confused. How is her sacrifice something new when she has done it countless times? And if you were referring to her just turning into a dragon in general, I mean, it's not really warranted. What was the purpose if nothing was done with it? Compared to other installments to save her kingdom, Totk was pretty shallow. Zelda took pictures, studied history, and saw murals of these people and did not say anything to anyone to try and prevent Rauru and Sonia from dying. If there was an effort in trying to stop Ganondorf BEFORE hand and turning herself into a dragon was the only option then sure. But, that's not what happened in the story. So, the process of draconification was unnecessary and also used as a way into manipulate us into thinking Zelda had no other choice when really everyone's downfall was her fault.

With the billy the kid example, I just headcanon that he got stuck playing in there very recently, otherwise its too horrifying to contemplate (and also how would his parents not find him in 200 years if he was literally within a mile of them)

Botw: Bad story, good storytelling Totk: good story, terrible storytelling

Another problem with the intro is how fake it seems. Nora is a lawyer and Nate a veteran and probably have some money saved up, sure, but we have been set up to believe pre-bomb life was absolutely dismal, not picket fences and mowed lawns. An argument could be made that sanctuary was just a rare outlier. But that’s just so.. boring? Disingenuous? We’ve seen soldiers in power armor shooting a civilian point blank in the street and laughing as the opening scene in the first game. There was a plague, riots, chinese concentration camps, massive inflation (check the price when u pick up a magazine). Nate was stationed in canada(and some theorized he could be the laughing soldier for a while), all the more reason to have this brought up, if not in the intro, then later in dialogue. But no. It rarely ever appears to affect either character, they seem cheery as hell in the intro.

I'm writing this before watching the video because I just want to gush about Fallout 4. The writing sucks, but damn do I still love this game. I already don't care for going through the story of a game over and over, and Fallout 4 doesn't really do any of that. You can start a new game with the quick start mod or by loading a pre-made save, leave the vault and go out into the world and have fun not just chasing your son, but also just rebuilding the entire Commonwealth from nothing and I adore that. The lack of a skill system means traits can really shine, the lack of level cap, the random legendaries, and the abundance of random stuff to find in the wasteland means an experience where you don't have to begrudgingly leave behind hours of work because of running out of levels to get or no longer having anything to find, and customizable weapons gives something fun to mess with everytime you hit your base. Take that and the improvements over Hardcore mode from NV and you can have an actually tough challenge where food and water need to be pre-packed before a trip and I bloody love the entire thing even if I ignore the story. Plus the side content is often better than the main story, so it's just really fun to explore. Anyway, time to watch the video since I'm pretty sure it'll be a really good watch even if I already have an idea of where it's going.

Because Aonuma is a hack. Video done. Same as he didn't understand what made Majora great, now he doesn't understand why BotW worked but how making people wait for 6 years for the same thing and $70 was a slap in the face. I can't wait until he's gone and hopefully Koizumi gets the reigns.

thoroughly enjoyed watching this video. very well researched, with great insights. I too, am very surprised that this doesn't have wayyyy more views because you definitely deserve it given the length and quality of not only the video, but the narration. either way, I appreciate the time you took to make it and it's a very good think-piece on this topic. fantastic work!

BOTW has a good story, you just need to actively search for it if you want to know more about it. TOTK just has a bad story. It's told in a disjointed and repetitive way and it doesn't even make sense when you try to analyze it. It also doesn't even exempt to link its story to botw in any way despite being a direct sequel.

lol am I the only one who loves fallout 4 ?? I don’t understand the hate lol I freaking love fallout 4 AND the others but 4 is my go to !

In a nutshell, Fallout 4 created a AAA roleplaying roadmap storyline that competes with GTA5 all the way because there are ways of going about it as far as dialogue but it's only what the game allows because everything is too expectedly scripted when there is in fact a lot of the unexpected, well at least that's how your first playthrough feels like on New Vegas because your not coming out of a vault on New Vegas so that's understandable

How the hell does this well researched, well produced, good quality video not have more viewers?! I expected it to be at around millions of views. This shit is great

It would be good, if it weren't considered part of the fallout world. That's my issue with it. It entirely crutches on the word fallout otherwise it would have been forgotten by time as yet another boring looter shooter. Bethesda tried, and sadly have failed 3 for 3

Thank you for introducing me the DICE Awards :)

i think it'd be cool if you didn't remember much like how you basically spawn out of nowhere in fnv. then you go around and start learning about the world and yourself. have shaun be like ulysses with less waxing poetically

Great video, In general I love how Geoff Keighley is handling the production, I think he really loves the industry and want to popularize it. - I do love the trailers, but I wish they move some of them to the pre-show to make more room for speeches. - I think they should add peer voting, something like (50% Peers, 40% Journalists/Influencers, 10% Audience) - I also hope that they add something equivalent to "Scientific and Technical Awards" for the Oscars add focus on Game Development and Behind-the-Scenes, or at least a some categories of "Technical Achievement" like the BAFTA.

My guy. I've been thinking this. Thanks for making a video. I haven't even fully understood thought it through. You took the words out of my mind. I already recently gave up 76 but after looking at 4 I was like I beat it and I mod it and did stuff. Now I might do it again. But just think you know it's just not worth it anymore. Nv yes or 3 especially 3 since I haven't played it in decade probably. But weird time to be waiting for 5 and see the issues with these games. Idk starting to think 5 is just gonna bomb if tod, beth, etc are in charge fully

Great analysis.

Insane quality content for the amount of views, you're gonna blow up soon 100%

Complaining about believablity in a fantasy video game where society is stuffed in vaults is when you know youve gone too far off the deep end

well done vid! def needs more eyes!

Asmongold, come watch this video

Amazing content

So, how does this feel now that star wars outlaw came out? You made such a well thought out hypothetical and it was realized, but in the worst possible way. You guessed so accuratly what a star wars bounty hunter game would be like, but there was no way to guess ea would make it so dramatically low quality

“Taking the bad with the good is all you can do” you should have used roger warwick quote saying the same thing basically

I was honestly shocked when I reached the comment section. I was expecting thousands of comments and lots of views, so good the quality of this video is. You are gonna pop soon! Subscribed

I remember spending the first 30 hours of my playthrough putting almost everything on hold for hours at a time to build Sanctuary up. Then I realized its all utterly pointless. I eagerly waited for the raiders to attack and for me to find out where my weaknesses were and to rebuild and all that jazz. Only for nothing to happen. Killed the game for me, it did. Killed it good. I played for another 7 hours and put down the game for 5 years until attempting it again 2 more times and never finishing the game

One thing that always bugged me about Fallout 4's predetermined backstory is how the marriage and child completely alienates gay people in a franchise that has traditionally been really inclusive. Anyone can make up roleplaying reasons why their character may have circumstantially become a soldier or lawyer, but it's a lot harder to justify why your gay character is in a loving relationship with the opposite sex (who they had a child with and always speak positively about, even in private). It's a shame too, because there is a lot of interesting writing opportunities when it comes to exploring the dichotomy of attitudes towards homosexuals pre and post apocalypse, but before that could ever happen Bethesda's writers would need the prowess to tackle a serious topic like homophobia or racism.

I have spent 9 years trying to mod this game into something i enjoy more. The fact that ive have used 9 years doing this, says something about my love for the universe of Fallout. I guess i am stuck in trying to relive the emotions Fallout 3 gave me, but i simultaneously never play fallout 3. I dont know. i think maybe it's time for me to let this game go. 20.000 hours is not an exageration of the time i spent. I wish i could just stop thinking about it.

Fallout 4 is an extremely insecure game too, within the first 30 minutes of the game you are given dogmeat, power armor, a minigun, and a fight with a Deathclaw. It's like the game is screaming "look, I'm a Fallout game! Just like before! Please don't leave!"

Recently thought that Kellogg should've been an end game boss. The frank horrigan type. Coursers should have been made as a model of his psyche and skills. Imagine going around on small missions to find coursers and instead of the mission where you go into Kellog's head, you hunted coursers one-by-one collecting fragments of Kellog's story. Eventually when you had them all you not only knew his story but were then able to go to the institute and see the monster behind it all, and he's your son's right hand man. Only a thought.

Without a doubt, this is the easiest Fallout game to get into if you're a newcomer to the series. And speaking of series, Fallout 4 is the one that the TV show resembles most. 🤩

As somebody who only played Fallout 4 and couldn't understand why people were so critical of the game (I loved it), I now understand. Thank you.

I think playing 76 gave me a better appreciation for 4, not because I hate 76 either. It gave me a chance to see fallout 4 university from different perspective

I think this is one of the best analyses of Fallout 4 I've seen. Looking forward to more.

>Implying Majoras Mask isn’t a great story

13:22 It's a little more bearable if you turn off the cinematic camera.

34:14 genuinely, the strongest improvement bethesda has made to the looting UI is in Fallout 76, with the "Nearby Search" feature. I am admittedly a fallout 76 enjoyer, but Nearby Search takes away so much of the time and frustration of looting, and lets you do it all at once at the end of an activity. It's nice.
