    Not to mention the fact that Fallout games have typically had an anti-nuke, 'my-god-look-at-the-horrors-that-have-been-wrought" stance, whereas this game actively encourages nuking the shit out of places to get better loot.

    • @LittleBigPlanetian
      @LittleBigPlanetian 5 лет назад +72

      To be fair, these are smaller scale nukes. And canonically as far as the story goes, you only use one nuke to destroy the Scorchbeast Nest and kill the Queen before they end up spreading to other parts of the country (which is why Scorchbeasts don't appear anywhere else here)

      @misterbadguy7325 5 лет назад +161

      @@LittleBigPlanetian It being a small nuke doesn't make it okay that the game encourages and even requires you to nuke your enemies. Nukes are nukes. I think if there's one point anyone would take away from the opening of Fallout 1 and its lecture about how the "war" lasted about twenty minutes and within that period, all of civilization was gone, it's that "nukes are bad." Having big lavish trailers where people cheerfully watch the bombs go off as they incinerate and irradiate West Virginia... it'd be like if they made a sequel to Spec Ops where Walker goes back into combat and incinerates a convoy of terrorists with white phosphorus and everyone congratulates him for what a great job he did.
      Honestly, it feels sadly in line with a lot of Bethesda Fallout - it wants to be critical of America, like the old games, but it's too fascinated with that aesthetic and ideal. I mean, look at Liberty Prime. In a vacuum, he's a brilliant satire of American imperialism - a weapon of mass destruction through the lens of a cartoon superhero, who spouts lines like FREEDOM WILL NEVER FALL even as he leads the charge into conquering Canada. But the game constantly frames him in such a way that everyone just walked away thinking, "Liberty Prime is fucking rad! Woo! Murrcurr!"

    • @northropi2027
      @northropi2027 5 лет назад +52

      In all fairness, an in-game benefit to doing it doesn't mean the game's message is encouraging it. It can still be narratively played as a bad thing, at best a grim necessity and at worst a big "you bastard" moment where the player/protag is revealed to just genuinely be an ass, if the mechanics encourage it. Thing is, that requires a narrative. You know, one of *those.*

      Or the opposite, which would be the normal way of seeing things. The Internet has problems seeing "just okay". Yahtzee doesn't. _Fallout 76_ is like most Bethesda games, never doing anything very well and with way more ambition than it can realize, but dodging just enough glitches to go from point A to point B until you stop playing and it becomes an online joke factory. It wasn't much worse than its predecessors, nor was it better. It's not a "90-100" or a "0-10" game. It's a 5/10 game, which in today's grade-inflated world puts it right at 76%.

      That's not true! Bethesda learned quite a few new ways to fuckup.
      They both removed mod support AND put in a asset-recycle store.
      They replaced shitty writing with no-writing.
      They replaced world building with 50's radio dramas and pre-recorded messages.
      They made it even buggier than before AND with equally buggy server + online only mechanics.
      They went from dialogue, to dialogue wheel, and now finally no-dialogue!
      They went from character building to randomized character.

      Yahtzee said _Fallout 76_ was so-so, which it was. He just did it in his usual tone of motormouth metaphor monster.
      It's one of Yahtzee's strong points. The average Internet hysteria hobbyist has a real problem where it must treat everything as "the worst ever" or "the best ever".
      When, of course, if you think everything that comes out every week is either a cause to champion or reason for a tantrum-style breakdown, you probably lack perspective.
      It's brain-melting when dealing with Bethesda open-world action RPGs, which usually eat, breathe and live "so-so" from beginning to end.

    • @marzgamingmaster
      @marzgamingmaster 5 лет назад +83

      @@_Zeruca Ok, so hear me out. There was a theory going around that the ONLY possible reason one could be displeased with the announcement of Diablo immortal was because you were a misogynist. Because women play more moble games than men do (citation needed...) And so not liking a moble game meant not liking a game created for a female audience. Hence, you could only possibly not like Diablo Immortal because you hate women and thing they shouldn't be allowed to have videogames.
      It was an accusation that gained a REALLY sad amount of traction. I am 100% sure that a lot of people hate things just because "WHAT YOU MEAN GURL CAN PLAY?!?!?!" I spend a lot of time dealing with manbabies like that. But not everyone who dislikes a certain game does so exclisively because they're bigots. And ideas like that permiating the discourse makes it REALLY frustrating to actually genuinely discuss why something about a game actually rubbed you the wrong way.

But I also get where Yahtzee is coming from, because even me expressing a lack of interest is often interpreted as "you just don't like it because they're women, and you can't stand the idea of female representation!"

It’s not uncommon to say “according to the New York Times” or “Fox News”, even if an opinion was espoused by only one or two reporters.

      To be fair Bob's video was not really about Diablo though, it was about that extra 25% of vitriol that only seems to pop up when something bad has an upside but it benefits "insert whoever I don't like".
      Which ironically means more vitriol than if something is outright bad and pisses off everyone.
      But I feel like most people got turned off the first few minutes of the video before he sprung his actual point... But yeah, who doesn't love Yahtzee.

The most recent ZP is a great expansion on the topic, and what's even funnier to me is that, in that EP, the game that Yahtzee uses as his example of a "quality product well made" is Hi-Fi Rush which was **published by Bethesda**, the same exact company who Yahtzee just spent giving a drubbing in this video. It's like a cosmic coincidence.

      samlt5 corporations are getting desperate. you can see it all around you right now. in the darkest of times people would reluctantly accept BS like Diablo immortal, Metal Gear survive, Battlefront 2 etc.
      but the push back is real slowly but surely companies are going to have to start making the choice either give up their old ways and start appealing to the customers like they should have done in the first place or sink.
      can even if the best, most dependable and are most favorite gaming companies die off with time there will still be plenty of young and smart people to pick up the pieces and continue on the business. that's the beauty of capitalism and the free market. it works similar to that of nature in the sense that no matter how messed up it gets it can always fix itself. the only sad thing about it is is that we won't see the New Renaissance of gaming In Our Lifetime. at best we will be too old to enjoy it. but as long as we can make it past history and learn from it I will be satisfied with what my children and children's children play.

      The "create your own fun" mentality only really works in lower priced indie games, and it depends on the amount of tools that you are provided in order to create that fun. It does not, however, work in a fully priced triple-A game that somehow manages to have less content and less mechanics than the previously mentioned indie games.

    It actually has a tiny "battle royale" mode, you can tune into the hunter v hunted radio and it will queue up you and 3 other players (also listening to the radio) in a match. Each player is assigned a target, and if they kill their target the game assigns them another. It continues until there's only one player alive, and it even has a play area that is supposed to shrink.
    The only thing is that in my 20 hours of playing I've never had enough players to play it, so I don't know how well it even works.
    Also, if you get the cannibalism perk and max the perk that lets you eat and drink without gaining rads, you essentially remove the hunger/thirst mechanics. You can drink from any toilet or stream and each any human enemies (super mutants, ghouls, scorched, so 90% of enemies) to refill your food and health. Without any consequences.

      Cause frankly, the game isn't that bad. It's a bit bland gameplay-wise and the inclusion of survival mechanics is weird (not really problematic, just weird, as I literally don't know how they do anything but give you a use for that water you'd carry around anyway and chug 20 of during a boss fight), and the opening story and abitrary story restrictions are odd, but both the gameplay and story are fine.
      It definitely not a great game, but it's around average really. If you want multiplayer Fallout 4, buy the game. If you wanna get really fucking depressed from some of the darkest and most harrowing in-game lore yet, buy the game. If you wanna nuke West Virginia because you got food poisoning at a convention there one time, buy the game.

    Turns out the "no human npcs" thing seems to have been so they could add them in later so it feels like the world has changed

    Seems fitting, collectors getting a trash bag for the trash that is this game.

      You clearly have no idea what you're talking about.

    I know this game has problems but I have to say, I live in China and my brother lives in New Zealand and playing this game together is the most fun we've had since I moved here. It's super fun to play team style with a wide range of cool big monsters to take down. I know you say you can have fun playing anything together and that's true but I've never had THIS kind of fun. I'd never want to play this game alone, but this is such a great way for me and my brother to stay connected. I think it's got some great points.

    Well to be fair in the Fallout universe there WAS "Conrol Vaults" though few in number that operated normally with no weird experiments done on the dwellers and the people were let out on schedule. Dont think I am defending this game im just saying it makes sense for there to be vaults with no experiments going on.

      I think that Vault 76 is an example of a control vault for sure. I think Bethesda still threw in an experiment in the form of the Overseer's objective. Like you said though, fuck this game regardless.
