It's because the world [and especially video games] basically ended around 2018. Things were already going downhill, but can you really name another even somewhat good open world adventure even vaguely similar to Fallout that's from post-2018?
Yup I feel old as hell cuz I’m still playing Fallout 4 for the 3 time. I started a new game a month ago. And I still haven’t got fallout 76 yet lol I’m prolly one of the few who hasn’t played 76 not once yet. But watching more videos on it and the upgrades it’s had since. I’m thinking once I beat fallout 4 again I’ll end up getting 76 finally. Some time this year. But I just love fallout 4 so much 😂😂
@@porkchopexpress6890 That’s awesome lol. I actually just restarted Fallout 4 as well this week again. I still have my other saves on my maxed out character, but I needed to start fresh and wanted to do it all over again. Got fallout 76 2 days ago since it’s on a huge sale. I thought it was dead…then I saw above 15k players on at all times this past week. Great game as well
@@noimageavailable2934 it was just yesterday I watched Todd show off 16 times the detail, my friend getting super hyped for it, and I was doing nothing but playing Overwatch.
got 5 mins into the vid until i realized this is the guy that made the vr videos when he was at like 5k subs. cant believe bro got to 739k good job bro.
Finished the Fallout show, sighed, instantly started reinstalling Fallout 76 knowing I’m going in another fallout rabbit hole for nostalgia purposes and to get my fix
As one of the ghosts who played on launch I've always loved 76, I've had month long breaks but I always came back. Having witnessed all the updates and expansions, new waves a players and the empty servers.. It all feels so surreal, I love this game and I will always log on every week or so just to see what's going on, get some scrap and just wander. Nothing beats a mountaintop cabin and sitting on the porch overlooking the beautiful landscape. Love the video man, keep it up.
"Playing since BETA" Ghost here.. glad to see people are still coming back to this game pleasantly surprised, and with a mountain of new content to dig through! Happy questing!
I feel like I've tried F76 a billion times. I love the Fallout universe, and the idea of running dungeons with friends. but man .. 76 just did not feel great to play. Admittedly, All of the attempts to play previously were on Xbox via game pass and I'm not trying to start a console war or anything but it just did not feel good to play and now I am playing on a higher end PC and it feels really clean. It's also cool to see how many new people are giving this game a try because of the TV show and it's also cool to have old guns like yourself. Still hanging around talking to us youngins XD
BETA Player here too, the changes between initial launch and now are staggering, like actually insane just how much they put into the game where now if you start fresh its almost a bit overwhelming compared to just the main story line and side quests before.
I am 52 years old and I started playing Fallout when it first came out (Fallout 1). Yes Fallout 76 was disappointing but over time it improved. To be honest I never had the heart to stop playing because I watched the series progress throughout the decade. I felt i invested so much time that stopping would be like walking away from a friend who needed help. I plan to continue playing until i live in a nursing home so i can steal your items and loot your encampments while looking like an old Ghoul.
I came to F76 pretty late. I really like it, but I didn't have to go through the dark times. West Virginia Fallout is my favorite setting of the games.
9:40 Being the first atomic mirror brain shell in the shotgun so I can feel each subsequent atomic mirror brain shell pushing up behind me with increasing pressure pleases me❤
"There are players who never left and they're haunting to find because you can see 5 years of their lives dumped into their camps..." It's because of these people alone that gives me hope in the game to keep on playing.
Ghost here. Loved the video - got a big laugh out of it! And I didn't even think about how the TV show might affect 76 (even though Ella Purnell stated that she wanted to play Fallout online but it's not an online game) XD
Do you play on PlayStation or Xbox? Thought about actually trying the game out again haven’t played it in years. I might need someone to show me the ropes 😂
I just made it to level 100, playing on and off (mostly off) over the last couple of years. When did it become a thing for super high level players to run up to newbies and start throwing expensive weapons and rare plans at their feet? I love it, but I imagine it didn’t start that way.
I remember playing Fallout 76 when it wasn't even out yet. I don't remember exactly if it was beta or even alpha. But I'll tell you what. The game has changed beyond recognition. I took a giant break at one point, and when I came back, human NPC appeared in the game. The game is completely different now, and that's good (especially considering that even before the game was released, I wasn't disappointed) I'm thinking of getting back into the game, especially considering that I haven't even tried expeditions yet. I hope the game will improve further
I played for 6months or so around the time the nuka cola expansion came. 330h. Did all the 2 main mission quest lines. 95% of all side missions. Got 80% of all the best weapons and armor. Explored every region. Did every event. Had fun. For real. But I'm done now, and I don't think I'll get back, but got my moneys worth for sure
Sad to see you go, especially before the actual map expansion hits. The game hasn't stopped growing, so technically you haven't explored everything yet. But I'll put a tombstone in my c.a.m.p. for your character 🙏
@@thecreatorfourthI have 2 level 200+ characters with 2000 hrs played over the course of 3 years, I don't think I'll ever get that time back 🥲 Atleast I got memories though
yesh, i can't imagine even giving bethesda money, let alone, playing through their trash games, then more so dedicating that much time to an extremely mediocre game when there are hundreds of games 100000x better.
As a fallout 76 zombie (played in beta and everyday for a long time) coming back was a fresh breath of air, my old group is gone, just whispers on the roads. Finding the game slowly claw a regular player base back has been exciting.
i'm not a fan of fallout, not a fan of multiplayer games I've more or less 100%ed fo4 and from my perspective, FO76's community is so chill. Like all the people that play it now actually enjoy playing it and welcome new players. Especially compared to a lot of Fallout new vegas fans that come off very aggressive and "your opinion is wrong" This is in stark contrast with how horrid the GTA online experience is.
@@Verchiel_ I feel like their community is actually pretty representative of the type of community we'd need to survive in an actual apocalypse situation, people that'll look at Raiders and just go "Look here Asshole we'd all be better off if you'd join us instead of killing Us." Seriously I don't understand doomsday prep-ers expecting the Worst when we'd only survive if we work together, it's how we survived the Wilds for thousands of Years, it's how we'll continue surviving for Eternity
As some one who had a few hundred hours in fallout 4 I just hated fallout 76 for the simple fact that picking things up had a lag. It drove me up the walls.
@@JudeBoi1313 Yea having to find specific legendaries was fun in 3 and NV and also it seems like in NV and 4 there are much more side quests. 76 just feels like a grinding simulator because the mainline story isnt really worth doing. I got past level 60 and I havent even done a single main mission yet theres really no point.
The very first fallout game I played was fallout 3. My mom got it for me for my birthday in 2018. And now I've probably got about 2.5 to 3k hours played. For me, fallout 3 is what got me into fallout. And now I'm hooked on it.
FO3 was also my first Fallout. It was surreal since I lived in Washington DC so seeing some of those sites was weird. At the time I was playing , I lived in Arlington where the cannibals lived in the game. 🍖
Fallout 3 is probably my favourite game of all time. Probably around 800 hours. I got it around when it came out. Got every achievement including dlc. Soo goood
@nicpete492 Bro at least his mom got him something. Parents do what is in their means. He is being fed and clothed as well as having a roof over his head.
I actually picked up the game again a few weeks ago and something just clicked and a played it for like a week straight and finally completed I am become death and scorched earth . I really enjoyed just wandering around and doing the events.
It is indeed fun. Now you can work on legendary perk cards, get the mutation blueprints from the enclave bunker, and help new players out if you wish. Or make cool looking camps to show off, just don't burn yourself out on it like I did, lol
@@0xsergy ya you clearly didn't play on release, I played on release and that game was BROKEN for a long long time. It was still fun to me but it was certainly a busted game
I'm 55. You sound like you're close to my son's age - similar memories, same school trip to DC looking at Fallout 3 monuments, all that. Of course, old me was playing these games before he was born and it's become a legacy thing. We're from West Virginia, and he and his friends were crushed when 76 was released in the state it was in. That game was hyped so hard here. But I'm old, ya know. I've seen things 😁. As big of a Fallout fan as I've been, I let 76 sit for three years before I touched it. Oh, I kept track of it, from the Internet Historian's scathing fire through all the update videos over the years, waiting until it seemed stable and user-friendly enough to jump in. And, ya know, it worked. 76, to me, is an excellent, magical Fallout game, and at one point I played it exclusively for over a year. Not perfect, but great nonetheless. Eventually, even my son - who was burned by it at launch - came back as well. It was the real thing now. And hey, they even have a POI from the town we live in in the game (The World's Largest Teapot), even if our town itself was omitted. If anyone's interested, I did a guitar cover of Bethesda's version of "Country Roads" on my channel in 2018, which was obviously still long before I actually played the game. The video can be found here: ruclips.net/video/2yv3jYMjhJo/видео.htmlsi=xAXckPgS2t5ND9D4 ✌🏻
lvl 600+ (700+ on 5 characters total) and same, sorta. Started at wastelanders, never left. His shoutout makes me want to stick with my plasma flamer and carry the events
I just went back to Skyrim for like the 8th time, loaded up dozens of mods with a handful more I still want. It's been fun, it's the kind of thing where you play till you're sick of it, take a long break, then come back in a few months to a year. I definitely rode with the crowd when F76 first game out, it was a mess back then, but this lowkey makes me want to try it for myself. It's kind of a bummer so many big games like this are only "fixed" after several years of, essentially, extended early access. But I'll give them some points back for at least putting in the effort and keeping at it for so long.
I was one of the players that never really stopped playing. I started in the beta, and didn't stop until about 2021-2022. Only stopped because I switched to playing games on PC instead of on Xbox. With how much time I put into the game I can't validate restarting. When I did play however my main character (over level 300), was an old grandma. I always cooked tons of food and handed it out with some Nuka-Cola. To me 76, by far, has the best RP possibilities of any Fallout game. And the joy I felt when I would give 'youngins' some food and drinks and their excited replies, made amazing memories. I get the hate for how buggy it was at launch, however most were squashed in the first 6 or so months. It's a game I love and still hop on to play occasionally. Grandma's got to ensure her grandchildren are fed after all.
My cousin was basically begging me to give it another chance back in October so I did. And that then manifested into me playing it everyday. I can say that I play this game religiously. I am rank 530 since starting in October, I sell stuff regularly through my vendor, and I’ve made my friends curious enough to the point they now play it as well. I’ve been a fallout fan since 2010 and I regret not playing 76 2-3 years ago when it started getting all the love. But what’s important is that Bethesda never gave up on it.. they pushed through and have also hired modders from the mod community to work on DLC’s. the base map is also getting an expansion in a few months as well which I’m pumped for. I’m glad I returned to West Virginia, and I intend on staying.
@@0xsergy ya you never played on release then lol, as someone who has played since release half the game features didn't even work and it was a broken game for a long time.
I hope they give Starfield the same love. I know it's a single player game but I hope more QOL improvements and gameplay features come in to make it better. I bought it near launch on Steam and so far I have about 10 hours clocked in. In comparison, By the 1 month mark I'd already finished FO3, FNV, FO4 on my first playthroughs. I have a cumulative 1500+ hours on Skyrim through different saves since 2011, 600+ on Fallout 3. I don't see myself clocking that many hours on Starfield by the time 2034 comes around Starfield just didn't grab me even though I love retrofuture style space games and sci fi media. But I really want it to get better Sorry for ranting about it on a Fallout 76 vid, but I do genuinely hope Starfield gets better and that TESVI and Fallout 5 launch in a way better state
The sad thing is that Bethesda doesn't give a crap and they continue to stagnate and never learn because their blind fans never stop giving them their business. They literally fucked over their entire fanbase with 76 and people still didn't give a shit. If you want more proof, just look at the Starfield. It's a unironically sad that the rabid fans continue to idolize and "meme" on Todd Howard when he legitimately lies and gets away with it every time. I swear he could get Bethesda sheeple to buy NFTs/crypto of or for their games and it would work.
I am one of those ghosts. I had a solid group of 12 strangers I met in 76 all those years ago. I am now helldiving but may return one day. I usually start by finding low levels and giving them tons of stuff. This is the way
Very unpopular opinion, but i loved when the game came out. The utter desolation and zero civilization to contact gave it that eerie feeling... i actually miss it.
I think one thing that has kept this game alive is the player base. I remember joining during wastelanders, and a level 300 came out of nowhere and started dumping a whole bunch of stuff on me, until I couldn’t sprint. The community is very kind (outside the occasional trap camper) and it fun to interact with others. Great video
Judgin by the video, what kept this game alive is several hundred people making it for many years ) I mean the words "get away with it" sound a bit strange to me as an outsider, since the changes had to be actually made and implemented. Long ago, if a cathedral took 30 years longer to build than planned (and they planned 20 years), they just rolled with it
the secret to Fallout First is buy the $12 per month membership and cancel immediately so you don't get a recurring charge but you still get to put all your scrap/junk in an unlimited junk box and you can use a shelter anywhere if you are too heavy to fast travel then off load your stuff to your camp through the shelter then fast travel. Even after you 30 days are up and you can no longer put stuff in the unlimited junk box you can still take stuff out of it to craft. So basically pay for one month, cancel, put as much junk as you can in those 30 days then you should have plenty of junk to craft for a long time
Hi, one of your ghosty boys here I have played tis game on and off since release around level 1200 and yes this is probably one of the first fallout 76 video of the year
They're very good consumables and they last 2 hours with the perk card. You can buy them by the dozen in player camps often times. Bobbleheads would become pointless in the end game if they were permanent skill power ups.
BETA 76 player, Dataminer, and Nukapedia wiki editor here, super happy to see one of the three yearly fallout 76 videos come from your channel. Even more pleased that it's not completely trashing the game for its previous shortcomings. The community and I are super hyped for the TV show to bring in new vault dwellers, there's tons of cool things to do here in Appalachia (with more always around the corner, like a map expansion!), there's never been a better time to jump in on the fun
To be fair, the last time I jumped in the game, (last year I think), people were super welcoming. I haven't seen that in any other mmo yet so maybe I'll give it another go this year
Same. Lot of us veterans have left which is pretty sad, but I’m hoping the map expansion brings a lot of them back. Met some of my best buddies in the B.E.T.A
After the absolutely absurd launch for FO76, I wrote it off as one I'd never play. All the press and hype confirmed for several years that I'd made the right call. Then, a few weeks ago, they dropped the price to $10 and I thought that seemed like a price I'd be willing to pay. Turns out, it was worth it. I found your video as I was trying to get a better sense of how it has changed over the 6 years since it came out and holy crap, has it changed a lot. I can't even imagine what it must have been like in the beginning with no NPCs. Thanks!
I've played Fallout 76 since the beginning and I still play it to this day. Trust me, 76 feels like a completely different game compared to launch. Honestly I kinda miss the early days of the game and wish there was a game mode to that version. Before the big updates and human NPC's.
I don't know why but those titanic level 1000+ players with their Power Armour remind me of Adeptus Astartes from WH40k. Seeing them are like seeing Angels, or how you put it, ghosts.
jumping into this game finally after the show bc ive played the shit out of NV and 4 (need to get around to finishing 3 and playing the NV DLC) but god i cannot imagine launch feeling empty. im so overwhelmed by content half of which i won't be able to survive until i have weeks of playing time into this game
I played FO76 the day it came out with two of my buddies. All of the quests were involved tracking down dead people and talking to robots. Like that was literally all there was, because Todd REFUSED to put human NPCs into the game clinging to the belief that "the players should make the story themselves." Lemme say, it was a godawful idea. I played again a few years later when they added NPCs and it really did make the game better.
yeah the ghosts are insane i was friends with one for a long time n he had litteraly a row full of power armor in displays theyre either really nice or not but when u friend them they help u a lot, they helped my playthrough so much going into the game blind and ive been sold on it ever since, such an amazing community and the effort in updates is so uplifting to see
Wish my friends or someone would help me out w it, I understand fallout and crafting and survival part of 76 but like I still feel like I do t know where to go or where to start
I wouldn't mind fallout 76 if it wasn't just an excuse for Bethesda to go 9 years without a new fallout game. Now when someone asks Todd about fallout 5, he just says (insert yapping about how fallout 76 should keep you satisfied, and how they're doing great work on it).
Watching this immediately after watching some of your first videos is a trip. It’s amazing you’ve managed to get your videos to be so seamless, entertaining, and genuine while still keeping the same style and vibe from 4 and a half years ago. You’re the same person, making the same amazing content… the only change is that it has become more refined and has the large viewer base that it so rightfully deserves
I love being a Ghost! That is a great description for those of us stubborn, crazy folks who have been here all along. Many of us are builders and that's why we never left, that and I don't want to level another game right now. :)
I have just turned 61 (IRL) and have played ALL of fallout, from fallout on PC to ps2 , ps3, ps4 and now a PS5. I have played 76 from beta. Somehow only pay 56 bucks a year for fallout first. I play casually every day for at least an hour to 3 hours. Running 3 characters with the original at level 830. The working character at level 1125. Long live Radiation
It's this kind of comment that I love to see in a long standing game community. Gives me hope that it's good to go back to. Maybe I'll cross paths with you in the wasteland. Just gotta get that vault door open.
@@Denkmaldrubernacht The guy says he plays 1 to 3 hours every day. Even assuming he averages only one hour each day per year, and logs off the second he hits 60 minutes, that's still only 15 cents an hour...IMO people think about the cost of gaming all wrong, that is tremendous value. Gaming in general is one of the cheapest forms of entertainment there is. For comparison the average Netflix subscriber watches about an hour per day, for their standard subscription that comes out to 50 cents per hour almost five times more expensive than this dude's Fallout 76 habit.
Hey listen, disappointing is different than bad, if I'm up to downloading a hundred gb every now and then just to play it for a couple of hours it means that there's still something worth coming back
Unfortunate Ghost here. I've been playing since beta, with the occasional 3-4 month long break when it gets tedious. For me, a lot of the fun in Fallout is exploring and feeling immersed in the world, and since 4- building. Fallout 76 allows me to build cool little immersive camps, and if you know all of the little tricks/hacks to building, you can make them truly spectacular, and has a lot of ground to cover. For a lot of us veteran players, the stories and quests are more or less in the rear-view, although I rush to them when new ones get added, and the game is more of a post-apocalyptic sims or something, where we're grinding for specific rare cosmetics/plans, building our camps, filling and running our vendors (I sell about 10-20k Caps worth of scrap per login, plus tons of legendary weapons), running the events to show off our godroll weapons and armor, and hanging out in the wasteland with friends. 76 has a TON of space for people who just want Fallout 5+multiplayer, but the end game really is Fallout with Friends + Fashion.
Wow the ending of this video felt like it was for me lol one of the ghosts here 🙋🏽♂️ Where do i start... first things first, you came across the game at a perfect time... just last year we still had legacies, if they were still around you would of hated this game even more.. trying to do scorchbeast queen or events and you have one of us with a bloodied explosive gat plas or a bloodied explosive flamer making your game bug out to the point your sound starts glitching.. for old gen consoles at least lol so yes definitely touched the game at the right time! I just run around doing events but mainly i always run around following the new players. Upgrading their weapons, giving them a full set of raider power armor with a jetpack at just level 15! Giving them some deep pocketed brotherhood of steel combat armor, helping them with their base, giving them caps, doing their daily ops. There is no better feeling than seeing the way the newcomers react to a high level player coming up to them, some get scared, some ask for things, some ignore you lol. I'm a bloodied build so first thing i hear is "Woahhhhh you have so many rads" hahaha i love it! I love helping people on here, like seeing players get that excitement, sending them on their way well prepared with a little more knowledge about what is to come! My xbox gamertag is "Griimr" no quotations. Just in case someone here might need something just shoot me a message. PS a bunch of the community is really toxic but then again every game has it's rotten apples lol
This *Ghost* is still struggling with the RWRifle after 5+ years, I feel your pain. I think what kept the game going for me was the community, they’ve really been filling in for Beth’s absence in the content department. Anyway, glad you’re enjoying the game again, and that Sentinel Bot smoking the pair of you was a joy to behold ;)
I preordered 76 and played the fuck out of it soooooo much with my ex. Only stopped when she dumped me because it was a lot of hard memories. I never gave up on it and 76 will always be one of my favorite games
I’m really sorry about your ex, having someone you care about leave you is a really painful thing to feel, and an extremely difficult thing to get over (I speak from personal experience) I hope everything is okay for you now, and if not then I hope it gets better soon
Good to see people play this again I was literally a GHOST I am lvl 485 and I have built so many camps I put so much work in them I build a new one next week I am a sweet in camp building
hey, thanks for making this vid! i've played all but this and Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel. was thinking of jumping in a seeing how things went for 76 and this video gave me a wonderful overview of everything i wanted to know! you're the best. please keep at it.
I played it a year ago or so and it was fun for me. I never played when it came out so no idea how much better it got but it was fine Imo. It does get boring after a while tho
I'm one of the fo76 Ghosts (Level 3.6k on my main character and 1k or so on my alts), Thanks for being one of the 3 vids we get to see this year, Hope you enjoyed your time in Appalachia with us! For what it's worth from a guy thousands of hours in, The game is better than it ever used to be, But I still couldn't with a straight face recommend playing it until they remove Fo1st, Which will sadly never happen. Fun to play with your buds through the new story if you all have Xbox game pass though!
we shoulda earned enough atoms to feel like 1st. its basically a way to unhandicap the game but you get fun stuff too so don't pay attention to that part
Well. Ya called this one man and earned a sub. I've also realized I was a ghost on Red Dead Online. But I've long hung up my hat since its been 100% abandoned.
So, I did randomly comes across your channel due to Fallout. I bought Fallout 3, New Vegas and Fallout 4 before the Amazon series dropped in order to experience the game-world for the 1st time (I know, I'm super late to them.) I ended up playing a good chunk of Fallout 3 in hopes of beating it before the series started but I did not. After the show came out and I binged it, I started up New Vegas and Fallout 4 just to have those going too, and wow there was such a difference in game play and graphics. I ended up purchasing Fallout 76 when I saw the updates on Steam about exclusive drops due to the Amazon series, not knowing what it was, and then realizing it was only for Fallout 1st members and damn, I can't see myself doing it just for the Ghoul's duster and hat, but I got a good laugh from your video when you spoke on it. I don't know when I'll start up Fallout 76, I guess it'll have a fresh pair of legs with the Amazon series, so I can get through the 3 other titles before doing anything with it.
If you didn’t already, you should definitely get all the DLC for all the games too. I never played all the way through Fallout 4, but all the DLC for both 3 and New Vegas are all pretty good, some of them are REALLY good. I put hundreds and hundreds, if not thousands of hours into 3 and New Vegas back when each first came out on 360, then maybe a hundred or so into Fallout 4 on X-Box One, but I purchased all of them again for Series X after watching the show cuz it sucked me right back into the universe lol, and they were all incredibly cheap.
When you decide to play hit me up. I can introduce you to cool people I’ve met. They helped me get weapons, power armor, and clothes while explaining the game into detail. Is super fun when the community helps each other in the wasteland of 76
as a nearly lvl 900 ghost im happy to see people flocking to the game again, it has improved a lot indeed, its still maybe not perfect but the amount of content they added shows just how much bethesda does care about the universe. i'll be contineuing to help fresh spawns with a little kit and some kind words as well as having my base open for them to explore and take inspiration from. glad to have you all
No one is immune to propaganda. I had Fallout 4 in my library for the longest time but gave up just before you confront Kellog. After the show trailer dropped, I'm now 90 hours in at level 42. Life is good.
I am around lvl 500 in the game. The only thing I do is farm legendaries - which are player-side inly anyway. The only other item I keep is arrows - so I can continue to fight. *all of my other proceeds go to donation boxes*. Gotta have love for everybody else still playing.
I remember when it released, and being so excited to play it with my dad and friends I had at the time, then I heard how bad it got and never touched it. Recently my boyfriend gifted me Fallout 4 for PC, so I'm going to be going through that gem of a game again, and now that I'm getting into PC gaming, I'll have access to mods as well, gonna be a fun time for sure
very cool and nicely made video and i can also agree with you, im one of the guys who you talked from the ones who didnt abandon the game since 2018 but i still play the game for fun with friends but all the bugs and glitches in the game makes it actually so bad 😔😔
I remember trying FO76 on 2021 when they had a free weekend. I played for about 20 hours and really tried to like the game. At that point there were NPCs and a bunch of new content since release, but it still didnt feel like previous Fallout games... and I left a scathing review on Steam about how "I played for free but I wouldn't play again even if Bethesda paid me". Then, on the heals of the show being announced, I bought the game for dirt cheap cause I was tired of FO3/NV/4... And wow. The game made a No Mans Sky level turn around - albeit NMS gets repetative and boring within the first 50 hours. It feels like an actual Fallout game now, and in 4 months I've put in 400 hours on FO76 (which is more than any other game on my steam list - even FO3 which I've played multiple times over the last decade+). I actually enjoy the online aspect, even though I dont play with other players it's nice to have other live people come and go, or to visit their camps and see their builds. The game slaps now
Something i thought was funny, since the show came out they've been running Bethesda sales on Xbox. Seperately Fallout 4 with everything was $9.99 and Skyrim with everything was $19.99. Bundled togther $53.99 lmao
you said that it took a shotgun to your algorithm but this video got more views in 2 months than most of your other videos, made me subscribe. been playing since release, everyone i tell about it that try it loves it. its not bad.
If you haven't played this game for a while, coming back and seeing all the content and patches is a blessing. Enjoy it and don't let those "Ghosts" ruin it
It's a Bethesda baby, they kept it alive with their MASSIVE HONKING BOOBAS probably out of love, but most likely for plausible deniability in tax cases.
because it was genuinely a good game, just filled with bugs. the core game is so good it kept a huge playerbase for years and years causing the devs to actually update and revamp the game
This video amused me. I too am a returning player, but I just missed Fallout, & came back in late February, just before the hype hit... and as soon as I saw it starting, I was like, "Well- looks like I'm not going to be alone in returning to 76. That show is going to be bringing people in droves- new players, & old."
"I already pay for Runescape" struck me at a personal level. That game is my crack cocaine. All jokes aside, I actually enjoyed Fallout 76 a great deal when I first played it early on. I was coming off 2500 hours of Fallout 4 survival mode and it was something new but familiar. I only stopped playing because I kept getting dropped from servers and losing my progress randomly. I always wished they made it as an offline game with your fellow vault dwellers being NPCs you either rescue or find already dead.
There is plenty of content to be played in 76. A lot of good memories I had when playing with friends. I think the vanilla main quest does a great job at letting us explore the map. It's like a themepark. One attraction after another. Always new unique scenery. The history of different factions explained along the way. You eventually build up to the idea of defeating the scorched queen. You are even given a suit of Ultracite PA to use for your fight, you launch your own nuke and fast travel to the place to see the bomb hit, and you start shooting, take down the terror of the region and possibly save humanity. The Wastelanders and Steel Dawn+Reign quests are a pretty good singleplayer content. You can play with friends but quest progress is not shared sadly. It's rather awkward. And there arent enough enemies during the quests for more players than 1 to be enjoyable. So these two expansions are almost strictly singleplayer oriented, a little dissappinting considering this game is supposted to be Fallout with friends. However playing Daily Ops and Expeditions with friends, as in repeatable content, and more world bosses can be fun. The newest update Atlantic City has a new questline. It is, again, singleplayer stuff. It is great I liked it a lot, but outside of the mainquest not a lot in this game was designed to be played by teams instead of indivoduals.
This is want I want in Fallout 76. 1. Another Massive Storyline DLC like Wastelanders, because I think Wastelanders was great but for a big map I think we still need more like big storylines like Wastelanders, but also could be a event kind of thing where every 2 to 3 years we get a new large DLC Expansion like Wastelanders. 2. I think 9 more DLCS expansions like Reign of Steel storywise would be also more beneficial and maybe after that every 1 to 2 years we could get new DLC story expansions like Reign of Steel. 3. Buff up the Deathclaws and the enemies more. 4. I’d want them to increase the amount of players per server from 24 players to 40 players per server. 5. Increase the size of camps so we can build more and even create our own settlements if we wanted too, I know we technically can but something bigger really. 6. I think adding more weapons from the other fallout games like the Assault Rifle aka the AK-47, Desert Eagle 44., 9mm Mauser, M4 Carbine & more. 7. I think they should introduce more settlements, 8 big ones all around the map with at least 22 small ones, they could act as like trading hubs, stuff to shop at, but bringing players together as community and chat, maybe share a meal together. & more stuff but I think it’s good enough.
I stopped playing when survival mode was removed, just the aspect of “anyone could be an enemy and you don’t know where they are or when you’ll encounter them” was awesome for me. I could see myself coming back if it comes back, but honestly I like your changes, adding to that maybe cross play between consoles (definitely not pc) would greatly help the game live on
First playthrough is pretty amazing. Redoing events 1000's of times, not as much. Only reason to stay is to become a ghost and be a legendary creature of the wastes yourself. And to hoard all the exclusive stuff. I've missed out on so much cool stuff from the pass because for the longest time there was nothing new to do and I didn't want to play it.
Fallout 4 was the first game I played, and the radio unlocked some buried love for old-timey music. And I played that was I was like 8 or 7, I'm gonna be 14 this year. That love for music hasn't degraded, it probably grew stronger over time!

As one of the ghosts who played on launch I've always loved 76, I've had month long breaks but I always came back. Having witnessed all the updates and expansions, new waves a players and the empty servers.. It all feels so surreal, I love this game and I will always log on every week or so just to see what's going on, get some scrap and just wander. Nothing beats a mountaintop cabin and sitting on the porch overlooking the beautiful landscape. Love the video man, keep it up.
76 is one of the most popular games right now, how's the server population for you? Anywhere near where it was on launch?

Lol furry spartan
I feel like I've tried F76 a billion times. I love the Fallout universe, and the idea of running dungeons with friends. but man .. 76 just did not feel great to play. Admittedly, All of the attempts to play previously were on Xbox via game pass and I'm not trying to start a console war or anything but it just did not feel good to play and now I am playing on a higher end PC and it feels really clean.
It's also cool to see how many new people are giving this game a try because of the TV show and it's also cool to have old guns like yourself. Still hanging around talking to us youngins XD
Same man, still hop on with one of my buddies
BETA Player here too, the changes between initial launch and now are staggering, like actually insane just how much they put into the game where now if you start fresh its almost a bit overwhelming compared to just the main story line and side quests before.
thanks for ruining gaming as a whole by enabling greedy studios like this! "happy gaming" lol f off.

I am 52 years old and I started playing Fallout when it first came out (Fallout 1). Yes Fallout 76 was disappointing but over time it improved. To be honest I never had the heart to stop playing because I watched the series progress throughout the decade. I felt i invested so much time that stopping would be like walking away from a friend who needed help. I plan to continue playing until i live in a nursing home so i can steal your items and loot your encampments while looking like an old Ghoul.

And I didn't even think about how the TV show might affect 76 (even though Ella Purnell stated that she wanted to play Fallout online but it's not an online game) XD
Do you play on PlayStation or Xbox? Thought about actually trying the game out again haven’t played it in years. I might need someone to show me the ropes 😂
I just made it to level 100, playing on and off (mostly off) over the last couple of years. When did it become a thing for super high level players to run up to newbies and start throwing expensive weapons and rare plans at their feet? I love it, but I imagine it didn’t start that way.
I remember playing Fallout 76 when it wasn't even out yet. I don't remember exactly if it was beta or even alpha. But I'll tell you what. The game has changed beyond recognition. I took a giant break at one point, and when I came back, human NPC appeared in the game. The game is completely different now, and that's good (especially considering that even before the game was released, I wasn't disappointed)
I'm thinking of getting back into the game, especially considering that I haven't even tried expeditions yet. I hope the game will improve further
I played for 6months or so around the time the nuka cola expansion came. 330h. Did all the 2 main mission quest lines. 95% of all side missions. Got 80% of all the best weapons and armor. Explored every region. Did every event. Had fun. For real. But I'm done now, and I don't think I'll get back, but got my moneys worth for sure
Thank you for your service
Sad to see you go, especially before the actual map expansion hits. The game hasn't stopped growing, so technically you haven't explored everything yet. But I'll put a tombstone in my c.a.m.p. for your character 🙏

As a fallout 76 zombie (played in beta and everyday for a long time) coming back was a fresh breath of air, my old group is gone, just whispers on the roads. Finding the game slowly claw a regular player base back has been exciting.
i'm not a fan of fallout, not a fan of multiplayer games
I've more or less 100%ed fo4
and from my perspective, FO76's community is so chill. Like all the people that play it now actually enjoy playing it and welcome new players. Especially compared to a lot of Fallout new vegas fans that come off very aggressive and "your opinion is wrong"
This is in stark contrast with how horrid the GTA online experience is.
@@Verchiel_ I feel like their community is actually pretty representative of the type of community we'd need to survive in an actual apocalypse situation, people that'll look at Raiders and just go "Look here Asshole we'd all be better off if you'd join us instead of killing Us." Seriously I don't understand doomsday prep-ers expecting the Worst when we'd only survive if we work together, it's how we survived the Wilds for thousands of Years, it's how we'll continue surviving for Eternity
We also survived IN SPITE of each other. War is as old as humanity itself, and we know better than most, war never changes.

As some one who had a few hundred hours in fallout 4 I just hated fallout 76 for the simple fact that picking things up had a lag. It drove me up the walls.
Not to mention the looter shooter grinding and farming for legendary gear and trying to get so many specific stats. I just miss the older systems.
@@JudeBoi1313 Yea having to find specific legendaries was fun in 3 and NV and also it seems like in NV and 4 there are much more side quests. 76 just feels like a grinding simulator because the mainline story isnt really worth doing.

I never had that issue
@@evil1st there's a few mainline stories that are incredible. The brotherhood stuff, wastelanders and I've heard good stuff about Atlantic city
lulz - like you've never played the game in 60 fps.
The very first fallout game I played was fallout 3. My mom got it for me for my birthday in 2018. And now I've probably got about 2.5 to 3k hours played. For me, fallout 3 is what got me into fallout. And now I'm hooked on it.
2018? That means the game was already ten years old at that point, that copy probably cost like nine or ten bucks at most
your mom got you a ten year old game for your birthday ? Damn.....
FO3 was also my first Fallout. It was surreal since I lived in Washington DC so seeing some of those sites was weird. At the time I was playing , I lived in Arlington where the cannibals lived in the game. 🍖
Fallout 3 is probably my favourite game of all time. Probably around 800 hours. I got it around when it came out. Got every achievement including dlc. Soo goood
@nicpete492 Bro at least his mom got him something. Parents do what is in their means. He is being fed and clothed as well as having a roof over his head.
I actually picked up the game again a few weeks ago and something just clicked and a played it for like a week straight and finally completed I am become death and scorched earth . I really enjoyed just wandering around and doing the events.
It is indeed fun. Now you can work on legendary perk cards, get the mutation blueprints from the enclave bunker, and help new players out if you wish. Or make cool looking camps to show off, just don't burn yourself out on it like I did, lol
@@ASaucyFingerworth finishing fo4 before jumping in?
It wasn't as broken on release as the memes made it out to be. I played it from release for months and rarely ran into any bugs.
@@0xsergy As a day one player I refuse to believe that.
@@0xsergy ya you clearly didn't play on release, I played on release and that game was BROKEN for a long long time. It was still fun to me but it was certainly a busted game
Honestly coming back to 76 was like coming back to halo infinite after not playing it for like a year. And now it’s finally fun.
I'm 55. You sound like you're close to my son's age - similar memories, same school trip to DC looking at Fallout 3 monuments, all that. Of course, old me was playing these games before he was born and it's become a legacy thing.
We're from West Virginia, and he and his friends were crushed when 76 was released in the state it was in. That game was hyped so hard here. But I'm old, ya know. I've seen things 😁. As big of a Fallout fan as I've been, I let 76 sit for three years before I touched it. Oh, I kept track of it, from the Internet Historian's scathing fire through all the update videos over the years, waiting until it seemed stable and user-friendly enough to jump in.
And, ya know, it worked. 76, to me, is an excellent, magical Fallout game, and at one point I played it exclusively for over a year. Not perfect, but great nonetheless. Eventually, even my son - who was burned by it at launch - came back as well. It was the real thing now.
And hey, they even have a POI from the town we live in in the game (The World's Largest Teapot), even if our town itself was omitted.
If anyone's interested, I did a guitar cover of Bethesda's version of "Country Roads" on my channel in 2018, which was obviously still long before I actually played the game. The video can be found here: ruclips.net/video/2yv3jYMjhJo/видео.htmlsi=xAXckPgS2t5ND9D4

I just went back to Skyrim for like the 8th time, loaded up dozens of mods with a handful more I still want. It's been fun, it's the kind of thing where you play till you're sick of it, take a long break, then come back in a few months to a year.
I definitely rode with the crowd when F76 first game out, it was a mess back then, but this lowkey makes me want to try it for myself. It's kind of a bummer so many big games like this are only "fixed" after several years of, essentially, extended early access. But I'll give them some points back for at least putting in the effort and keeping at it for so long.
I was one of the players that never really stopped playing. I started in the beta, and didn't stop until about 2021-2022. Only stopped because I switched to playing games on PC instead of on Xbox. With how much time I put into the game I can't validate restarting. When I did play however my main character (over level 300), was an old grandma. I always cooked tons of food and handed it out with some Nuka-Cola. To me 76, by far, has the best RP possibilities of any Fallout game. And the joy I felt when I would give 'youngins' some food and drinks and their excited replies, made amazing memories. I get the hate for how buggy it was at launch, however most were squashed in the first 6 or so months. It's a game I love and still hop on to play occasionally. Grandma's got to ensure her grandchildren are fed after all.
My cousin was basically begging me to give it another chance back in October so I did. And that then manifested into me playing it everyday. I can say that I play this game religiously. I am rank 530 since starting in October, I sell stuff regularly through my vendor, and I’ve made my friends curious enough to the point they now play it as well. I’ve been a fallout fan since 2010 and I regret not playing 76 2-3 years ago when it started getting all the love. But what’s important is that Bethesda never gave up on it.. they pushed through and have also hired modders from the mod community to work on DLC’s. the base map is also getting an expansion in a few months as well which I’m pumped for. I’m glad I returned to West Virginia, and I intend on staying.
It wasn't as broken on release as all the memes and complaint videos made it out to be. I rarely ran into any bugs you saw complained about.
@@0xsergy ya you never played on release then lol, as someone who has played since release half the game features didn't even work and it was a broken game for a long time.
@@Fro609 lmao remember when you ran faster depending on where you were looking because your speed was based off frames when it first came out
I hope they give Starfield the same love. I know it's a single player game but I hope more QOL improvements and gameplay features come in to make it better. I bought it near launch on Steam and so far I have about 10 hours clocked in.
In comparison, By the 1 month mark I'd already finished FO3, FNV, FO4 on my first playthroughs. I have a cumulative 1500+ hours on Skyrim through different saves since 2011, 600+ on Fallout 3. I don't see myself clocking that many hours on Starfield by the time 2034 comes around
Starfield just didn't grab me even though I love retrofuture style space games and sci fi media. But I really want it to get better
Sorry for ranting about it on a Fallout 76 vid, but I do genuinely hope Starfield gets better and that TESVI and Fallout 5 launch in a way better state
The sad thing is that Bethesda doesn't give a crap and they continue to stagnate and never learn because their blind fans never stop giving them their business. They literally fucked over their entire fanbase with 76 and people still didn't give a shit. If you want more proof, just look at the Starfield. It's a unironically sad that the rabid fans continue to idolize and "meme" on Todd Howard when he legitimately lies and gets away with it every time. I swear he could get Bethesda sheeple to buy NFTs/crypto of or for their games and it would work.

Very unpopular opinion, but i loved when the game came out. The utter desolation and zero civilization to contact gave it that eerie feeling... i actually miss it.
I think one thing that has kept this game alive is the player base. I remember joining during wastelanders, and a level 300 came out of nowhere and started dumping a whole bunch of stuff on me, until I couldn’t sprint. The community is very kind (outside the occasional trap camper) and it fun to interact with others. Great video
Judgin by the video, what kept this game alive is several hundred people making it for many years ) I mean the words "get away with it" sound a bit strange to me as an outsider, since the changes had to be actually made and implemented. Long ago, if a cathedral took 30 years longer to build than planned (and they planned 20 years), they just rolled with it
@@ayebraine The dev team being dedicated definitely is a driving force behind its survival. I feel they don’t get as much credit as they should.
@@kay94 I completely agree
I still remember the one that did that to me when I'm around level 15, and now I am level 100 I was committing the same too to the newcomers!
@netherwarrior6113 I'm going to guess the game was really rushed with dev time and was released before it was ready,.
That false sense of security that sentry gave before immediately blowing up was absolutely priceless
the secret to Fallout First is buy the $12 per month membership and cancel immediately so you don't get a recurring charge but you still get to put all your scrap/junk in an unlimited junk box and you can use a shelter anywhere if you are too heavy to fast travel then off load your stuff to your camp through the shelter then fast travel. Even after you 30 days are up and you can no longer put stuff in the unlimited junk box you can still take stuff out of it to craft.
So basically pay for one month, cancel, put as much junk as you can in those 30 days then you should have plenty of junk to craft for a long time

Bobble heads are now just some shitty consumable
Same with magazines it pisses me off that the effects don't even last
They're very good consumables and they last 2 hours with the perk card. You can buy them by the dozen in player camps often times. Bobbleheads would become pointless in the end game if they were permanent skill power ups.

omw after this video
After the absolutely absurd launch for FO76, I wrote it off as one I'd never play. All the press and hype confirmed for several years that I'd made the right call. Then, a few weeks ago, they dropped the price to $10 and I thought that seemed like a price I'd be willing to pay. Turns out, it was worth it. I found your video as I was trying to get a better sense of how it has changed over the 6 years since it came out and holy crap, has it changed a lot. I can't even imagine what it must have been like in the beginning with no NPCs. Thanks!
I've played Fallout 76 since the beginning and I still play it to this day. Trust me, 76 feels like a completely different game compared to launch. Honestly I kinda miss the early days of the game and wish there was a game mode to that version. Before the big updates and human NPC's.
@@hermos3602 True. I actually liked finding all the notes, holo's, terminal entries, etc, but I get it, im the odd ball lol
I don't know why but those titanic level 1000+ players with their Power Armour remind me of Adeptus Astartes from WH40k. Seeing them are like seeing Angels, or how you put it, ghosts.
jumping into this game finally after the show bc ive played the shit out of NV and 4 (need to get around to finishing 3 and playing the NV DLC) but god i cannot imagine launch feeling empty. im so overwhelmed by content half of which i won't be able to survive until i have weeks of playing time into this game
I played FO76 the day it came out with two of my buddies. All of the quests were involved tracking down dead people and talking to robots. Like that was literally all there was, because Todd REFUSED to put human NPCs into the game clinging to the belief that "the players should make the story themselves." Lemme say, it was a godawful idea. I played again a few years later when they added NPCs and it really did make the game better.
yeah the ghosts are insane i was friends with one for a long time n he had litteraly a row full of power armor in displays theyre either really nice or not but when u friend them they help u a lot, they helped my playthrough so much going into the game blind and ive been sold on it ever since, such an amazing community and the effort in updates is so uplifting to see
Wish my friends or someone would help me out w it, I understand fallout and crafting and survival part of 76 but like I still feel like I do t know where to go or where to start
I wouldn't mind fallout 76 if it wasn't just an excuse for Bethesda to go 9 years without a new fallout game. Now when someone asks Todd about fallout 5, he just says (insert yapping about how fallout 76 should keep you satisfied, and how they're doing great work on it).
76 is also extremely money-hungry. they locked basic features behind paywalls.
Watching this immediately after watching some of your first videos is a trip. It’s amazing you’ve managed to get your videos to be so seamless, entertaining, and genuine while still keeping the same style and vibe from 4 and a half years ago. You’re the same person, making the same amazing content… the only change is that it has become more refined and has the large viewer base that it so rightfully deserves
I love being a Ghost! That is a great description for those of us stubborn, crazy folks who have been here all along. Many of us are builders and that's why we never left, that and I don't want to level another game right now. :)
I have just turned 61 (IRL) and have played ALL of fallout, from fallout on PC to ps2 , ps3, ps4 and now a PS5.
I have played 76 from beta. Somehow only pay 56 bucks a year for fallout first. I play casually every day for at least an hour to 3 hours. Running 3 characters with the original at level 830. The working character at level 1125. Long live Radiation
Respect !!!
Id argue 56$ a year inside of a game is absolutely way too much lmao
It's this kind of comment that I love to see in a long standing game community. Gives me hope that it's good to go back to.
Maybe I'll cross paths with you in the wasteland. Just gotta get that vault door open.
@@Denkmaldrubernacht The guy says he plays 1 to 3 hours every day. Even assuming he averages only one hour each day per year, and logs off the second he hits 60 minutes, that's still only 15 cents an hour...IMO people think about the cost of gaming all wrong, that is tremendous value. Gaming in general is one of the cheapest forms of entertainment there is. For comparison the average Netflix subscriber watches about an hour per day, for their standard subscription that comes out to 50 cents per hour almost five times more expensive than this dude's Fallout 76 habit.
@@warc8us people...still have netflix??
Hey listen, disappointing is different than bad, if I'm up to downloading a hundred gb every now and then just to play it for a couple of hours it means that there's still something worth coming back
Something I loved about getting back into this game is that almost everyone is nice and willing to help low level players
Unfortunate Ghost here. I've been playing since beta, with the occasional 3-4 month long break when it gets tedious. For me, a lot of the fun in Fallout is exploring and feeling immersed in the world, and since 4- building. Fallout 76 allows me to build cool little immersive camps, and if you know all of the little tricks/hacks to building, you can make them truly spectacular, and has a lot of ground to cover.
For a lot of us veteran players, the stories and quests are more or less in the rear-view, although I rush to them when new ones get added, and the game is more of a post-apocalyptic sims or something, where we're grinding for specific rare cosmetics/plans, building our camps, filling and running our vendors (I sell about 10-20k Caps worth of scrap per login, plus tons of legendary weapons), running the events to show off our godroll weapons and armor, and hanging out in the wasteland with friends.
76 has a TON of space for people who just want Fallout 5+multiplayer, but the end game really is Fallout with Friends + Fashion.
Hey Habie, one of the ghosts and subscriber for a couple years now. Thanks for making this, it was a lovely reminder to hop back in and renew my 1st
Wow the ending of this video felt like it was for me lol one of the ghosts here 🙋🏽♂️ Where do i start... first things first, you came across the game at a perfect time... just last year we still had legacies, if they were still around you would of hated this game even more.. trying to do scorchbeast queen or events and you have one of us with a bloodied explosive gat plas or a bloodied explosive flamer making your game bug out to the point your sound starts glitching.. for old gen consoles at least lol so yes definitely touched the game at the right time! I just run around doing events but mainly i always run around following the new players. Upgrading their weapons, giving them a full set of raider power armor with a jetpack at just level 15! Giving them some deep pocketed brotherhood of steel combat armor, helping them with their base, giving them caps, doing their daily ops. There is no better feeling than seeing the way the newcomers react to a high level player coming up to them, some get scared, some ask for things, some ignore you lol. I'm a bloodied build so first thing i hear is "Woahhhhh you have so many rads" hahaha i love it! I love helping people on here, like seeing players get that excitement, sending them on their way well prepared with a little more knowledge about what is to come! My xbox gamertag is "Griimr" no quotations. Just in case someone here might need something just shoot me a message. PS a bunch of the community is really toxic but then again every game has it's rotten apples lol
This *Ghost* is still struggling with the RWRifle after 5+ years, I feel your pain. I think what kept the game going for me was the community, they’ve really been filling in for Beth’s absence in the content department. Anyway, glad you’re enjoying the game again, and that Sentinel Bot smoking the pair of you was a joy to behold ;)
I preordered 76 and played the fuck out of it soooooo much with my ex. Only stopped when she dumped me because it was a lot of hard memories. I never gave up on it and 76 will always be one of my favorite games
I’m really sorry about your ex, having someone you care about leave you is a really painful thing to feel, and an extremely difficult thing to get over (I speak from personal experience)
I hope everything is okay for you now, and if not then I hope it gets better soon
@skibidibammmdada2270 it's alright homie. It was 4 years ago so it's to be expected
Loving the post credits scene 🤌
Good to see people play this again I was literally a GHOST I am lvl 485 and I have built so many camps I put so much work in them I build a new one next week I am a sweet in camp building
hey, thanks for making this vid! i've played all but this and Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel. was thinking of jumping in a seeing how things went for 76 and this video gave me a wonderful overview of everything i wanted to know! you're the best. please keep at it.
I played it a year ago or so and it was fun for me. I never played when it came out so no idea how much better it got but it was fine Imo. It does get boring after a while tho
I'm one of the fo76 Ghosts (Level 3.6k on my main character and 1k or so on my alts), Thanks for being one of the 3 vids we get to see this year, Hope you enjoyed your time in Appalachia with us! For what it's worth from a guy thousands of hours in, The game is better than it ever used to be, But I still couldn't with a straight face recommend playing it until they remove Fo1st, Which will sadly never happen. Fun to play with your buds through the new story if you all have Xbox game pass though!
we shoulda earned enough atoms to feel like 1st. its basically a way to unhandicap the game but you get fun stuff too so don't pay attention to that part
Well. Ya called this one man and earned a sub. I've also realized I was a ghost on Red Dead Online. But I've long hung up my hat since its been 100% abandoned.
I feel like several big companies have been doing that. Releasing janky, almost unplayable games, then taking 5+ years to fix it.
Ya know i've been subbed to habie for years and I just noticed he's at 750k subs. Kinda was a shockshell since he's so chill even now. Good job Habie!
So, I did randomly comes across your channel due to Fallout. I bought Fallout 3, New Vegas and Fallout 4 before the Amazon series dropped in order to experience the game-world for the 1st time (I know, I'm super late to them.) I ended up playing a good chunk of Fallout 3 in hopes of beating it before the series started but I did not. After the show came out and I binged it, I started up New Vegas and Fallout 4 just to have those going too, and wow there was such a difference in game play and graphics.
I ended up purchasing Fallout 76 when I saw the updates on Steam about exclusive drops due to the Amazon series, not knowing what it was, and then realizing it was only for Fallout 1st members and damn, I can't see myself doing it just for the Ghoul's duster and hat, but I got a good laugh from your video when you spoke on it. I don't know when I'll start up Fallout 76, I guess it'll have a fresh pair of legs with the Amazon series, so I can get through the 3 other titles before doing anything with it.
If you didn’t already, you should definitely get all the DLC for all the games too. I never played all the way through Fallout 4, but all the DLC for both 3 and New Vegas are all pretty good, some of them are REALLY good.
I put hundreds and hundreds, if not thousands of hours into 3 and New Vegas back when each first came out on 360, then maybe a hundred or so into Fallout 4 on X-Box One, but I purchased all of them again for Series X after watching the show cuz it sucked me right back into the universe lol, and they were all incredibly cheap.
When you decide to play hit me up. I can introduce you to cool people I’ve met. They helped me get weapons, power armor, and clothes while explaining the game into detail. Is super fun when the community helps each other in the wasteland of 76
that shotgun hs a lot of brain space
as a nearly lvl 900 ghost im happy to see people flocking to the game again, it has improved a lot indeed, its still maybe not perfect but the amount of content they added shows just how much bethesda does care about the universe. i'll be contineuing to help fresh spawns with a little kit and some kind words as well as having my base open for them to explore and take inspiration from. glad to have you all
No one is immune to propaganda. I had Fallout 4 in my library for the longest time but gave up just before you confront Kellog. After the show trailer dropped, I'm now 90 hours in at level 42. Life is good.

@@wherebanana5837 Always wanna try out modlists. Have a way to link it?
@@wherebanana5837 why would you ever want to make a game look like fallout 1
@@guacomannygame has a metal art style the later games abandon unfortunately.
I am around lvl 500 in the game. The only thing I do is farm legendaries - which are player-side inly anyway. The only other item I keep is arrows - so I can continue to fight. *all of my other proceeds go to donation boxes*. Gotta have love for everybody else still playing.
I remember when it released, and being so excited to play it with my dad and friends I had at the time, then I heard how bad it got and never touched it.
Recently my boyfriend gifted me Fallout 4 for PC, so I'm going to be going through that gem of a game again, and now that I'm getting into PC gaming, I'll have access to mods as well, gonna be a fun time for sure
very cool and nicely made video and i can also agree with you, im one of the guys who you talked from the ones who didnt abandon the game since 2018 but i still play the game for fun with friends but all the bugs and glitches in the game makes it actually so bad 😔😔
I remember trying FO76 on 2021 when they had a free weekend. I played for about 20 hours and really tried to like the game. At that point there were NPCs and a bunch of new content since release, but it still didnt feel like previous Fallout games... and I left a scathing review on Steam about how "I played for free but I wouldn't play again even if Bethesda paid me". Then, on the heals of the show being announced, I bought the game for dirt cheap cause I was tired of FO3/NV/4...
And wow. The game made a No Mans Sky level turn around - albeit NMS gets repetative and boring within the first 50 hours. It feels like an actual Fallout game now, and in 4 months I've put in 400 hours on FO76 (which is more than any other game on my steam list - even FO3 which I've played multiple times over the last decade+). I actually enjoy the online aspect, even though I dont play with other players it's nice to have other live people come and go, or to visit their camps and see their builds.
The game slaps now
Something i thought was funny, since the show came out they've been running Bethesda sales on Xbox. Seperately Fallout 4 with everything was $9.99 and Skyrim with everything was $19.99.
Bundled togther $53.99 lmao
For me it was the setting of Appalachia in a retro-futuristic setting, the wackyness, and CAMP building that kept me playing since the Beta.
you said that it took a shotgun to your algorithm but this video got more views in 2 months than most of your other videos, made me subscribe.
been playing since release, everyone i tell about it that try it loves it. its not bad.
That was a cool way to do the atomic mirror brain segment! Way less intrusive, and I enjoyed the calmness of it, too!
If you haven't played this game for a while, coming back and seeing all the content and patches is a blessing. Enjoy it and don't let those "Ghosts" ruin it
I really don’t know how it didn’t completely die
Because BEthEsDa
It's a Bethesda baby, they kept it alive with their MASSIVE HONKING BOOBAS probably out of love, but most likely for plausible deniability in tax cases.
Because it was never as bad as people gave it credit for.
because it was genuinely a good game, just filled with bugs.
the core game is so good it kept a huge playerbase for years and years causing the devs to actually update and revamp the game
@@kiritadoshi no release version was exactly as bad as everyone thought, It's made amazing steps forward since then
not me trying to make runescape remark but getting a runescpe remark right when i finish typing hahaha
As some one with 400 hours in this game. Please come back and try it again. Best idea I’ve had!
This might be ur best one yet dude. Format, pacing, everything. And the lowkey smoothbrain bit was *chef's kiss*
As an OG F76 player this video feels like snuggling yourself in a warm blanket. It’s nice.
This video amused me. I too am a returning player, but I just missed Fallout, & came back in late February, just before the hype hit... and as soon as I saw it starting, I was like, "Well- looks like I'm not going to be alone in returning to 76. That show is going to be bringing people in droves- new players, & old."
"I already pay for Runescape" struck me at a personal level. That game is my crack cocaine.
All jokes aside, I actually enjoyed Fallout 76 a great deal when I first played it early on. I was coming off 2500 hours of Fallout 4 survival mode and it was something new but familiar. I only stopped playing because I kept getting dropped from servers and losing my progress randomly. I always wished they made it as an offline game with your fellow vault dwellers being NPCs you either rescue or find already dead.
There is plenty of content to be played in 76. A lot of good memories I had when playing with friends. I think the vanilla main quest does a great job at letting us explore the map. It's like a themepark. One attraction after another. Always new unique scenery. The history of different factions explained along the way. You eventually build up to the idea of defeating the scorched queen. You are even given a suit of Ultracite PA to use for your fight, you launch your own nuke and fast travel to the place to see the bomb hit, and you start shooting, take down the terror of the region and possibly save humanity.
The Wastelanders and Steel Dawn+Reign quests are a pretty good singleplayer content. You can play with friends but quest progress is not shared sadly. It's rather awkward. And there arent enough enemies during the quests for more players than 1 to be enjoyable. So these two expansions are almost strictly singleplayer oriented, a little dissappinting considering this game is supposted to be Fallout with friends.
However playing Daily Ops and Expeditions with friends, as in repeatable content, and more world bosses can be fun.
The newest update Atlantic City has a new questline. It is, again, singleplayer stuff. It is great I liked it a lot, but outside of the mainquest not a lot in this game was designed to be played by teams instead of indivoduals.
I'm loving the new style of content you're doing man!! Absolutely adore your vr videos (OFC) But its so nice to see unrelated vr content too!:D
Fantastic video, man. Thank you for the goodies. Much love from NC, USA.
No smooth brain section is kinda wild. Habie is finally evolving.

Can u guys tell me how u got the Lever Rifle in Fallout 76…update, I got, dont ask, it was a random drop in a cave with miners.
Funniest part about the In Space at the end is that Outer Worlds Spacer’s choice is free on Epic once the 4th of April hits
I have 3000 hours of play time in F76 and love the game, I will definitely still play it in 5 years if there are any updates
This is want I want in Fallout 76.
1. Another Massive Storyline DLC like Wastelanders, because I think Wastelanders was great but for a big map I think we still need more like big storylines like Wastelanders, but also could be a event kind of thing where every 2 to 3 years we get a new large DLC Expansion like Wastelanders.
2. I think 9 more DLCS expansions like Reign of Steel storywise would be also more beneficial and maybe after that every 1 to 2 years we could get new DLC story expansions like Reign of Steel.
3. Buff up the Deathclaws and the enemies more.
4. I’d want them to increase the amount of players per server from 24 players to 40 players per server.
5. Increase the size of camps so we can build more and even create our own settlements if we wanted too, I know we technically can but something bigger really.
6. I think adding more weapons from the other fallout games like the Assault Rifle aka the AK-47, Desert Eagle 44., 9mm Mauser, M4 Carbine & more.
7. I think they should introduce more settlements, 8 big ones all around the map with at least 22 small ones, they could act as like trading hubs, stuff to shop at, but bringing players together as community and chat, maybe share a meal together.
& more stuff but I think it’s good enough.
I stopped playing when survival mode was removed, just the aspect of “anyone could be an enemy and you don’t know where they are or when you’ll encounter them” was awesome for me. I could see myself coming back if it comes back, but honestly I like your changes, adding to that maybe cross play between consoles (definitely not pc) would greatly help the game live on
I just finished all the Main Quests in a month and I'm level 102... Also I've seen tons of Old/New 76 videos in the last few weeks, very helpful. 😬
Not a ghost and have never seen your content before but I enjoyed what I seen and you have a new subscriber🎉
Really liked the new style for this video Habie, nice flex in editing
Reminds me of ESO's come back. Rough launch, but honestly a great game even single player
bro, i watched you when you were getting like 3k views then i come back and see that you are huge good job man
I've never played Fallout 76, but I keep their cover of 'country roads' on my music playlist, so I see a net positive.
First playthrough is pretty amazing. Redoing events 1000's of times, not as much. Only reason to stay is to become a ghost and be a legendary creature of the wastes yourself. And to hoard all the exclusive stuff. I've missed out on so much cool stuff from the pass because for the longest time there was nothing new to do and I didn't want to play it.

Fallout 4 was the first game I played, and the radio unlocked some buried love for old-timey music. And I played that was I was like 8 or 7, I'm gonna be 14 this year. That love for music hasn't degraded, it probably grew stronger over time!
