There's something so unique with fallout 1 and 2, something that i can't confidentially say but i might think what it is. The entire atmosphere of the game along with the OST and world building, the entire game looks so different from 3D fallout The atmosphere looks so dirty, depressing, hopeless and agressive. Just like how a wasteland would look like Fallout 4 and especially 76 looks so bright and colorful, sometimes the wasteland doesn't seem to be a big deal too Specifically with the "sarcasm" dialogues from fallout 4, it feels like i'm playing a mad max parody with suicide squad or guardians of galaxy humor
Have you ever played Fallout 2? It's more cringe then Fallout 4, just with more dialoge options. "Hookers and Drugs xD", cheap Pop-Cultur References and a recycled Plot from Fallout 1.

@Immortal Science of Hauntology It's indeed massive, too big in fact that I felt fatigued first before I could muster my desire to replay it. Builds are filtered in the first hour, roughly upon hitting Depot A, though, so if your build could make it past that, I believe you aren't softlocked into a bad situation unless you went out of your way to make bad decisions post-Depot A. My first playthrough of the game was a build that's by any means 'bad'. It was a jack-of-all-trades that attempted to do everything; all weapon skills had points invested into it, Subterfuge with the exception of Pickpocketing because I wasn't able to squeeze out skill points for it, Crafting, Psionic, and Socializing, I actually tried to play the game like I made a character for New Vegas, an RPG that's so generous with skill points that you could get 100s in almost all skill. As a result, the character had no real focus, and thus was unable to experience the side content for extra XPs, and I was already on Oddity too since I'm intrigued by how it would turn out (fortunately it was pretty balanced so I wasn't exactly starved for levels). The first real wall that the character hit, was...the final boss. I wasn't quite able to damage him enough within the time frame of my defenses against the tentacles (I also finished the Mutagen puzzle), but I was close to a level-up that could net me an extra feat and an extra ability point. Then I look at my Oddity table and found I still haven't gotten the final piece of Oddity from the Psi Beetle. So I went out hunting a bit of Psi Beetle and, voila, I got the last oddity needed for a level-up. With the extra points I got a good feat and invested my ability point into Perception, the highest base ability I had then which helps maximize my Guns damage. I think I then crafted a better sniper rifle for the final confrontation, and finally managed to kill him. This was all close to 1.0ver, btw. I bought the game a week after its full release date because I was still hesitating to try Fallout 1. And man, the Deep Caverns was brutal at the time. Still I'm pretty sure the build I described above wouldn't be able to survive the current environment of the game, with all the new added content and balanced mechanics...at least not outside Normal or even Easy difficulty, and it certainly wouldn't survive the DLC.
Fallout 1 and 2 fans when they read a Choose-Your-Own-Adventure book (it was an incredibly well-written 2D action RPG that had a multitude of endings and your actions had an impact on the story)
My experience with Fallout 1: >Leave the Vault >Die to the first Scorpion in the game >Last time played: August 2017 To be fair, I love Fallout Tactics, but the first fallout game, it's one of its own for sure.
200 endings is true af Consider this every time you beat the game you can choose how to do quest or not to do them at all also it could be considered a different ending just by having 200 different loadouts lmao
What Todd meant is you will finish the game at 200 different points in space and time, therefore making each ending unique to your exact XYZ coordinates and picosecond timestamp in the universe as to when you beat the game. He's playing chess whilst you're being played by him.
real fallout - depending on the quests you did and the way you finished them every location gets it's own ending amounting to your legacy. behtesda's crap - it's either good ending or good ending but with few complications that have no meaning anyway
Imagine surviving horrible mutations, crawling out of virulent sludge, raising an army of giant super men, only to get killed by some jackass with a bb gun.
I don’t even like the Fallout series, matter of fact, I don’t even like it, I think of it as boring, contrived and pretentious. To start it off, I think of NV as grimy, pretentious, would-be philosophical filth that pretends to be way smarter than it thinks it is, the gameplay and graphics aged like milk. And don’t even get me STARTED on Fallout 4 and 3, those games are just bland and generic, with little to nothing good in them aside from a few well-known companions. Fallout 1 and 2 are imo the most boring, pretentious and egotistical that the games were at. And no, you can’t change my mind about me liking them either. Also, anime pfp, so your opinion is invalid 😂
I would love a remake of Fallout 1 and Fallout 2 in the style of the Diablo 2 remake. Keep the fundamental aspects of the game the same, just upgrade the visuals and add some quality of life features. Wouldn't be a huge investment and would give these classics some much needed attention
Wait a second. You named your channel black yoshi, used a picture of black yoshi, & you're still not taken down by Nintendo copyright system ???? How ? How did you do that ?
1:58 i really liked that in the old games the conflict was started by the USA refusing to let china trade to buy any fossil fuels in an attempt to starve them of resources, something that isn't usually brought up anymore which kinda sucks, it hammers the idea they all in one way or another caused the great war
The dog in Fallout is the exact opposite from the dog in Arcanum. There, it is arguably the strongest fighter in the game, easily running and eviscerating late game enemies with 0 equipment and no regard for human life or suffering.
You know, there's one game i haven't seen anyone bother to review in this style of format and that would be grim dawn, one which I'd love to see tackled since tbh its got untapped potential
What’s delightful about the stellar soundtrack is that the sound guy at interplay was told by Tim Cain, after he’d listened to horrific orchestral music EVERYDAY on the ride to work to make similar tracks to a selection of particularly uncanny pieces. He did it from scratch in something like 2-3 months.
Gotta admit despite the fact it seemed ya try to bait controversy and arguments with that intro and thumbnail despite never really mentioning bethesda at all outside of it I loved this video It was refreshing to have a fallout vid that isn't incessantly bashing bethesda or vice versa :D maybe soon everyone can have fallout videos that don't try to cause a civil war
fallout 1 and 2 - passionate, full of heart, written by competent people and full of compelling stories. whatever the fuck bethesda made - yay apocalypse themed 50's for people with attention span of a gold fish!
@@null643 For me it was the over usage of retro 50's in the game's art style, yes the previous games had a few retro 50 elements, but that didn't make up the entire art style like 4 did. Not to mention that the weapons and Boston's architecture look downright ugly in the game.
All went to hell since fallout three I learned the lore after playing fallout 4 and I’m just depressed thinking about how they screwed up such a universe
The most ironic thing is Todd represents the community pretty good. This my favorite game in the series and you actually described it accurately. But 10 other people will be here to say "it's actually perfect" or "fallout xyz is better becuz uhhhhh more bones" because most the community can't tell the difference between the truth and Todd speak.
So little funny story: I’m playing Vr and this guy acting like Todd Howard kept chasing me with a shotgun saying I had to buy Fallout 76 or I will die in 3 days. Pretty funny I also got chased down by Chad squidward blasting Jojo music while wearing Supreme Drip but that’s a story for another time
5:02 thats because you need to raise up your weapon skill to 95 so,you know,have 95% chance of hitting your target? Why don't people ever seem to understand that? XDD You can do it in like 2 levels and then you'll have no problem with hitting anymore. Anyway,awesome review 👍
wrong. the formula for hit chance doesnt only apply weapon skills. You need aswell PE (not included for melee) and the range between you and the target. at 45 yards your sniper rifle is going to miss alot with 95% small guns. but you might be able to get 95% if you are at pointblank tho
@@Nighttimeqt1 I'm not trying to deny or refute your points here, mind you, just saying. I've played multiple playthrough throughout Fallout 1, 2, and 2's TC mods like Fallout of Nevada and Fallout 1.5: Resurrection with a character literally just 7 Perception for the sake of getting the optimal sequence-to-SPECIAL points allocation, and I never have too much trouble in THC relating to range. But! I did compensate all that with a good investment into the Small Guns/Energy Weapons skill. I think Andrei above is correct, within the context of early game, need only 2 level ups to get optimal weapon skill needed to comfortably reach ~95% THC, where you only have access to pistols and such, and at most a scoped hunting rifle which AFAIK has an innate long range THC bonus. Truth be told, I've never truly understood how far and deep PER affects ranged distance. I tried looking it up, and found no in-depths discussion. The ranged weapons supposedly has an innate range to it, but they never specify if it's the maximum range or the minimum range to use, and certainly no information on what does PER does to those numbers and to what extent; is it that 5 PER is the baseline needed to get 0% ranged distance mod? Or something along those lines. Maybe I'll try playing the game and test it for myself, or perhaps try looking up a digital manual instead.
@@Nighttimeqt1 oh yeah,i forgot about perception,you need to have it at 7-8 to hit well too,unless you go for melee,then you can drop it to 1. Still,have these two easy conditions met and you will hit most of the time, yet there are still people that don't understand that for some reason ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@Nighttimeqt1 the more point small gun have the more accurate your shot. hell i edit character to get 300% small gun and got 95 everywhere until out of weapon range.
To be fair, there is SOME indication of where to go. The opening conversation with The Vault-13 Overseer shows you exactly where Vault-15 is going to be on your map and which direction you should go to get there. And then when you go in that direction, you're basically _guaranteed_ to stumble across the game's first settlement & launchpad for a level 1 of sorts: Shady Sands (which goes on to be the place where The New California Republic/NCR is founded between _Fallout 1_ & _Fallout 2. as well as its capital city (its listed as "New California Republic" on the _Fallout 2_ travel-map). From there you can find people who tell you where to go to get to The Hub, Junktown, and The Boneyard (the ruins of Los Angeles). They wont be marked on your travel-map tho, you just gotta remember the general direction they pointed you in and wander in those directions until you find them. Then, when you continue onward to Vault-15 you find that it doesn't have what you need and it might also mark some places on your map if you interact with the right computer in there (not as easy as it sounds). But that may be an only _Fallout 2_ thing, I forget.
"Ohh no you're right, we Mutants can't reproduce, man you're right...i've never thought about that and i'm a big evil intelligent Master-Mind!" How can People unironically defend this Writing? It's horrible. And in Fallout 2 it's even worse. A recycled Plot and cringe Pop-Culture references all over the Place, many Voice Actors that try way to hard and 80% cringe Dialoges (Hookers and Drugs and wakey stuff xD). Yeah Interplay made a good game, but fuqqed up the franchise themself with it. And then there was Fallout Tactics and Brotherhood of Steel, in which Interplay made the BoS the Good Guys back then btw, not Bethesda. They had no Idea what they were doing with the franchise. Shitthesda basically saved the franchise.
I don't know about "saved" more like "under new management". In all seriousness the yes the 'fault' in masters plan is sort of lazy and obvious but it plays just a tiny part in the game itself and doesn't invalidate what it built. Bethesda's fallouts are Commedy first, story later kind of deal and it's getting more blatant with every release.
Disagree on Tycho being useless. Just give him a sniper rifle and put him in some decent armor and he'll become quite deadly. He's like pre-Cassidy from F2.
The atmosphere in this game is amazing but the combat mechanic can't be ignored. It is terrible. No game series has kept this type of combat system. I know it gets better once stats progress but it has the ability to turn people away fromt he game very fast. I tried to get into this game way back in the day (before fallout 3,nv,4 where a thing) and I found the combat so repulsive that I returned the game. I have played it now and it is actually decent. I even tried to get my mate to paly this game but after palying for 2 hours he told me to never suggest another game to him again XD. I would not put this game or fallout 2 above the newer ones tho. (my opinion)
You have. Most of it was reused of new Vegas, especially the dlcs (for example acolytes of the new god on the Sierra madre kitchen and metallic monks on the sink)
This video just keeps reminding me how worse Rockstar Games has gotten in comparison to Bethesda, somehow they ended up worse than them yet their games' reputations aren't entirely close in comparison.
Its a shame that Fallout 1 is so underrated, it's easily one of my favorites in the series right next to New Vegas, and I've always thought it was a better game than Fallout 2.
Nooo! Old is the best Fallout, you can't say something bad about it and something good about Fallout 3, 4 or 76! You are not a true Fallout-Fan! Ohhh if Bethesda hasn't bought the franchise , we would've never got bad Fallout games r-right? Only good games, like Fallout Tactics and Brotherhood of Steel. Interplay/Obsidian know what they were doing with the franchise! And all the concept arts and ideas for Van Buren. Yeah, that all would've been it that game! Deadlines and Technical Difficulties? Noo that wouldn't happen. Just look at the the mediocre Wasteland 2 and 3 games that we TRUE-Fallout Fans don't even play! It's better then every Bethesda-Fallout And New Vegas has nothing to do with Bethesda anyways...so who needs the Elder Scrolls Oblivion with Guns Gameplay...we have New Vegas and Bethesda has nothing to do with that game! W-wait nevermind...ohh um. B-but what if Elon Musk buys the Fallout Franchise? EVERYTHING would've become great, if Chris Avellone would work on it for FREE! So cool.
@@TheBigBlackJoshi probably usual attempts to devalue and dismiss any slightest bits of criticisms towards Bethesda's Fallouts through Le Sarcasm. I've seen and faced these kinds who would preemptively blame """""New Vegas Fans"""""" for not seeing Bethesda's Fallouts through the same lens.
@@nigrum_angelum6655 No, not really. Bethesda fuqqed Fallout up in many ways and deserve Criticism and Hate, especially because of 76. But Interplay fuqqed the Franchise up even before Bethesda. Tons of Cringe Stuff in Fallout 2, Fallout Tactics and Brotherhood of Steel. They made the Brotherhood the good Guys, before Bethesda did. They had no idea what they wanna do with the Franchise.
@@Myrrmoasta Interplay is bygone force from the distant past. The reality now that Bethesda holds the reigns on the IP. What Bethesda's doing now solely rests on their shoulders, because despite seemingly recycled materials from the old design docs and concept during the early 76 showcasing, Bethesda had pretty much driven themselves to a creative corner long before 76 starts rolling out. And if you're hellbent on focusing your fury upon Interplay, know that Tim Cain and his fellow at Troika Games actually wanted to grab the Fallout IP when it was up for grabs. In fact, they've had all the in-engine demos back then, only to be completely outbid by Bethesda, who then proceed to make maneuvers behind the scene to grab the entire of the IP, when initially they were meant to only make a third installment of the series. (I'm kinda paraphrasing here, but it's subject talked about by among the most vigilant members of the community).
The usual "The series was ruined and was only good when it started" argument. I know that to true fans preaching this, it's something that really hurts, but me personally, I pick this conclusion out of my Corn Flakes these days. This has become the default progression, of games, movies, and franchises in general, and I don't think there was ever an alternative in which a series got better as it went.

As a result, the character had no real focus, and thus was unable to experience the side content for extra XPs, and I was already on Oddity too since I'm intrigued by how it would turn out (fortunately it was pretty balanced so I wasn't exactly starved for levels).
The first real wall that the character hit, was...the final boss. I wasn't quite able to damage him enough within the time frame of my defenses against the tentacles (I also finished the Mutagen puzzle), but I was close to a level-up that could net me an extra feat and an extra ability point. Then I look at my Oddity table and found I still haven't gotten the final piece of Oddity from the Psi Beetle. So I went out hunting a bit of Psi Beetle and, voila, I got the last oddity needed for a level-up. With the extra points I got a good feat and invested my ability point into Perception, the highest base ability I had then which helps maximize my Guns damage. I think I then crafted a better sniper rifle for the final confrontation, and finally managed to kill him.
This was all close to 1.0ver, btw. I bought the game a week after its full release date because I was still hesitating to try Fallout 1. And man, the Deep Caverns was brutal at the time. Still I'm pretty sure the build I described above wouldn't be able to survive the current environment of the game, with all the new added content and balanced mechanics...at least not outside Normal or even Easy difficulty, and it certainly wouldn't survive the DLC.
For me Fallout 2 is the height of the series. But I have to say I give a chef kiss to the The Naked Gun gun fight scene you used. Perfect lol.
Fallout 1 and 2 fans when they read a Choose-Your-Own-Adventure book (it was an incredibly well-written 2D action RPG that had a multitude of endings and your actions had an impact on the story)
Pretty much describes it. I wouldn't have a problem with modern Fallout if it just tried to do something like that.
My experience with Fallout 1:
>Leave the Vault
>Die to the first Scorpion in the game
>Last time played: August 2017
To be fair, I love Fallout Tactics, but the first fallout game, it's one of its own for sure.
Industrial Junk used to give me goosebumps as a kid, but boy oh boy was it atmospherically thick to me as it Is nostalgically to me now
200 endings is true af
Consider this every time you beat the game you can choose how to do quest or not to do them at all also it could be considered a different ending just by having 200 different loadouts lmao
What Todd meant is you will finish the game at 200 different points in space and time, therefore making each ending unique to your exact XYZ coordinates and picosecond timestamp in the universe as to when you beat the game.
He's playing chess whilst you're being played by him.
real fallout - depending on the quests you did and the way you finished them every location gets it's own ending amounting to your legacy.
behtesda's crap - it's either good ending or good ending but with few complications that have no meaning anyway

Change my mind
I don’t even like the Fallout series, matter of fact, I don’t even like it, I think of it as boring, contrived and pretentious.
To start it off, I think of NV as grimy, pretentious, would-be philosophical filth that pretends to be way smarter than it thinks it is, the gameplay and graphics aged like milk.
And don’t even get me STARTED on Fallout 4 and 3, those games are just bland and generic, with little to nothing good in them aside from a few well-known companions.
Fallout 1 and 2 are imo the most boring, pretentious and egotistical that the games were at.
And no, you can’t change my mind about me liking them either.
Also, anime pfp, so your opinion is invalid 😂
@@youarealwayscorrect Garbage? No.
Boring and pretentious?
Definitely.
Tho being honest, I did like the Legion.

@@capperbuns I wish I did go in blind, I’d spoiled myself some parts of the story which I regret. Enjoy it

I would love a remake of Fallout 1 and Fallout 2 in the style of the Diablo 2 remake. Keep the fundamental aspects of the game the same, just upgrade the visuals and add some quality of life features. Wouldn't be a huge investment and would give these classics some much needed attention

1:58 i really liked that in the old games the conflict was started by the USA refusing to let china trade to buy any fossil fuels in an attempt to starve them of resources, something that isn't usually brought up anymore which kinda sucks, it hammers the idea they all in one way or another caused the great war
I love this game and it’s sequel!
The dog in Fallout is the exact opposite from the dog in Arcanum. There, it is arguably the strongest fighter in the game, easily running and eviscerating late game enemies with 0 equipment and no regard for human life or suffering.
You know, there's one game i haven't seen anyone bother to review in this style of format and that would be grim dawn, one which I'd love to see tackled since tbh its got untapped potential
fallout 76 installing skyrim is just the perfect cherry on top
If this video doesn't get 500,000 views or more it is a crime the editing is absolutely hilarious and I'm only 3 minutes in
What’s delightful about the stellar soundtrack is that the sound guy at interplay was told by Tim Cain, after he’d listened to horrific orchestral music EVERYDAY on the ride to work to make similar tracks to a selection of particularly uncanny pieces. He did it from scratch in something like 2-3 months.
Fallout 2 is just Fallout 1 but with more patriotism
ngl my favorite music track is from FO2, chrysalis highwayman
Holy shit, thanks for the subtitles and translation for the voice in the Vault 13 cave! Wicked cool.
Metallic Monks played so much in Old World Blues that it started to seriously get under my skin and creep me out. I loved it.

Gotta admit despite the fact it seemed ya try to bait controversy and arguments with that intro and thumbnail despite never really mentioning bethesda at all outside of it I loved this video It was refreshing to have a fallout vid that isn't incessantly bashing bethesda or vice versa :D maybe soon everyone can have fallout videos that don't try to cause a civil war
Sometimes, a blast from the past is needed
I see quality content on this channel. Wonder why it has not more subs, definitely would deserve it. Subscribed. :)

FALLOUT 3 & FALLOUT 4 ARE MASTERPIECES!
Fallout 3 is good
I dislike the art style they went with in Fallout 4. Too many colors I guess..
@@null643 For me it was the over usage of retro 50's in the game's art style, yes the previous games had a few retro 50 elements, but that didn't make up the entire art style like 4 did. Not to mention that the weapons and Boston's architecture look downright ugly in the game.

Insane how fallout went from a satire of American consumerism to a shining example of it
I was under the impression that applied to the vault boy specifically, unless that's what you meant. Not inaccurate either way lol
I’m watched this during my study hall and im in tears
Metallic Monks is genuinely one of my favourite ambient tracks ever
The most ironic thing is Todd represents the community pretty good.
This my favorite game in the series and you actually described it accurately.
But 10 other people will be here to say "it's actually perfect" or "fallout xyz is better becuz uhhhhh more bones" because most the community can't tell the difference between the truth and Todd speak.
That is a great strawman argument you've had with yourself.
@@gregpenismith1248 imagine being too short for a joke
So little funny story: I’m playing Vr and this guy acting like Todd Howard kept chasing me with a shotgun saying I had to buy Fallout 76 or I will die in 3 days. Pretty funny I also got chased down by Chad squidward blasting Jojo music while wearing Supreme Drip but that’s a story for another time
5:02 thats because you need to raise up your weapon skill to 95 so,you know,have 95% chance of hitting your target? Why don't people ever seem to understand that? XDD You can do it in like 2 levels and then you'll have no problem with hitting anymore. Anyway,awesome review 👍
wrong.
the formula for hit chance doesnt only apply weapon skills. You need aswell PE (not included for melee) and the range between you and the target. at 45 yards your sniper rifle is going to miss alot with 95% small guns. but you might be able to get 95% if you are at pointblank tho
@@Nighttimeqt1 I'm not trying to deny or refute your points here, mind you, just saying.
I've played multiple playthrough throughout Fallout 1, 2, and 2's TC mods like Fallout of Nevada and Fallout 1.5: Resurrection with a character literally just 7 Perception for the sake of getting the optimal sequence-to-SPECIAL points allocation, and I never have too much trouble in THC relating to range. But! I did compensate all that with a good investment into the Small Guns/Energy Weapons skill. I think Andrei above is correct, within the context of early game, need only 2 level ups to get optimal weapon skill needed to comfortably reach ~95% THC, where you only have access to pistols and such, and at most a scoped hunting rifle which AFAIK has an innate long range THC bonus.
Truth be told, I've never truly understood how far and deep PER affects ranged distance. I tried looking it up, and found no in-depths discussion. The ranged weapons supposedly has an innate range to it, but they never specify if it's the maximum range or the minimum range to use, and certainly no information on what does PER does to those numbers and to what extent; is it that 5 PER is the baseline needed to get 0% ranged distance mod? Or something along those lines.
Maybe I'll try playing the game and test it for myself, or perhaps try looking up a digital manual instead.
@@Nighttimeqt1 oh yeah,i forgot about perception,you need to have it at 7-8 to hit well too,unless you go for melee,then you can drop it to 1. Still,have these two easy conditions met and you will hit most of the time, yet there are still people that don't understand that for some reason ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@Nighttimeqt1 the more point small gun have the more accurate your shot. hell i edit character to get 300% small gun and got 95 everywhere until out of weapon range.
If only fallout had 400 endings
vats of goo is one of the best parts of the soundtrack it's the goat
To be fair, there is SOME indication of where to go. The opening conversation with The Vault-13 Overseer shows you exactly where Vault-15 is going to be on your map and which direction you should go to get there. And then when you go in that direction, you're basically _guaranteed_ to stumble across the game's first settlement & launchpad for a level 1 of sorts: Shady Sands (which goes on to be the place where The New California Republic/NCR is founded between _Fallout 1_ & _Fallout 2. as well as its capital city (its listed as "New California Republic" on the _Fallout 2_ travel-map).
From there you can find people who tell you where to go to get to The Hub, Junktown, and The Boneyard (the ruins of Los Angeles). They wont be marked on your travel-map tho, you just gotta remember the general direction they pointed you in and wander in those directions until you find them.
Then, when you continue onward to Vault-15 you find that it doesn't have what you need and it might also mark some places on your map if you interact with the right computer in there (not as easy as it sounds). But that may be an only _Fallout 2_ thing, I forget.
"Ohh no you're right, we Mutants can't reproduce, man you're right...i've never thought about that and i'm a big evil intelligent Master-Mind!" How can People unironically defend this Writing? It's horrible. And in Fallout 2 it's even worse. A recycled Plot and cringe Pop-Culture references all over the Place, many Voice Actors that try way to hard and 80% cringe Dialoges (Hookers and Drugs and wakey stuff xD). Yeah Interplay made a good game, but fuqqed up the franchise themself with it. And then there was Fallout Tactics and Brotherhood of Steel, in which Interplay made the BoS the Good Guys back then btw, not Bethesda. They had no Idea what they were doing with the franchise. Shitthesda basically saved the franchise.
I don't know about "saved" more like "under new management". In all seriousness the yes the 'fault' in masters plan is sort of lazy and obvious but it plays just a tiny part in the game itself and doesn't invalidate what it built. Bethesda's fallouts are Commedy first, story later kind of deal and it's getting more blatant with every release.
Nice bait.
I love how they brought the old soundtrack from fallout to new Vegas
Yeah dude whenever I punched someone in the eyes it was almost always an insta kill lol
Disagree on Tycho being useless. Just give him a sniper rifle and put him in some decent armor and he'll become quite deadly. He's like pre-Cassidy from F2.
The atmosphere in this game is amazing but the combat mechanic can't be ignored. It is terrible. No game series has kept this type of combat system. I know it gets better once stats progress but it has the ability to turn people away fromt he game very fast. I tried to get into this game way back in the day (before fallout 3,nv,4 where a thing) and I found the combat so repulsive that I returned the game. I have played it now and it is actually decent. I even tried to get my mate to paly this game but after palying for 2 hours he told me to never suggest another game to him again XD. I would not put this game or fallout 2 above the newer ones tho. (my opinion)
Just came across your content by accident and man, it made my Sunday! Hilarious and brilliant. Cheers from CH.
If you go back to the vault a day after leaving for the first time and convince a guard of level 3, you can get a shotgun and other stuff

Am I insane or have I heard some of the echoes of this soundtrack in New vegas?
Metallic monks is reused in new vegas
You have. Most of it was reused of new Vegas, especially the dlcs (for example acolytes of the new god on the Sierra madre kitchen and metallic monks on the sink)
This video just keeps reminding me how worse Rockstar Games has gotten in comparison to Bethesda, somehow they ended up worse than them yet their games' reputations aren't entirely close in comparison.
Its a shame that Fallout 1 is so underrated, it's easily one of my favorites in the series right next to New Vegas, and I've always thought it was a better game than Fallout 2.
Nooo! Old is the best Fallout, you can't say something bad about it and something good about Fallout 3, 4 or 76! You are not a true Fallout-Fan! Ohhh if Bethesda hasn't bought the franchise , we would've never got bad Fallout games r-right? Only good games, like Fallout Tactics and Brotherhood of Steel. Interplay/Obsidian know what they were doing with the franchise! And all the concept arts and ideas for Van Buren. Yeah, that all would've been it that game! Deadlines and Technical Difficulties? Noo that wouldn't happen. Just look at the the mediocre Wasteland 2 and 3 games that we TRUE-Fallout Fans don't even play! It's better then every Bethesda-Fallout And New Vegas has nothing to do with Bethesda anyways...so who needs the Elder Scrolls Oblivion with Guns Gameplay...we have New Vegas and Bethesda has nothing to do with that game! W-wait nevermind...ohh um. B-but what if Elon Musk buys the Fallout Franchise? EVERYTHING would've become great, if Chris Avellone would work on it for FREE! So cool.
What
@@TheBigBlackJoshi probably usual attempts to devalue and dismiss any slightest bits of criticisms towards Bethesda's Fallouts through Le Sarcasm. I've seen and faced these kinds who would preemptively blame """""New Vegas Fans"""""" for not seeing Bethesda's Fallouts through the same lens.
@@nigrum_angelum6655 No, not really. Bethesda fuqqed Fallout up in many ways and deserve Criticism and Hate, especially because of 76. But Interplay fuqqed the Franchise up even before Bethesda. Tons of Cringe Stuff in Fallout 2, Fallout Tactics and Brotherhood of Steel. They made the Brotherhood the good Guys, before Bethesda did. They had no idea what they wanna do with the Franchise.
@@Myrrmoasta Interplay is bygone force from the distant past. The reality now that Bethesda holds the reigns on the IP. What Bethesda's doing now solely rests on their shoulders, because despite seemingly recycled materials from the old design docs and concept during the early 76 showcasing, Bethesda had pretty much driven themselves to a creative corner long before 76 starts rolling out.
And if you're hellbent on focusing your fury upon Interplay, know that Tim Cain and his fellow at Troika Games actually wanted to grab the Fallout IP when it was up for grabs. In fact, they've had all the in-engine demos back then, only to be completely outbid by Bethesda, who then proceed to make maneuvers behind the scene to grab the entire of the IP, when initially they were meant to only make a third installment of the series. (I'm kinda paraphrasing here, but it's subject talked about by among the most vigilant members of the community).
Lmao
A RUclips channel that isn't Fallout focused actually has a person who is competent to play Fallout 1 truly one of the best things I found

Saving my favorite part 5:13 - 5:18
The usual "The series was ruined and was only good when it started" argument. I know that to true fans preaching this, it's something that really hurts, but me personally, I pick this conclusion out of my Corn Flakes these days. This has become the default progression, of games, movies, and franchises in general, and I don't think there was ever an alternative in which a series got better as it went.
Ahh the old fallouts are my favorite
nice video sseth
