It’s like Bethesda is run by Fantastic. “They asked if I understood theoretical physics. I said I had a theoretical degree in physics. They said welcome aboard.”
You joke, but if they get desperate for monetization... I could see Bethesda secretly selling control over the game to some government agency to run social experiments on their customers. We now live in a Big Data world where a freaking _game company_ has profiles and demographic data about their customers that makes the experimental population even more valuable. You can design some pretty good control groups with that kind of info...
Every time you walk away from the horse with your stick still firmly in hand, back barely turned, Bethesda comes around and breathes life into the horse in full defiance of you tiring from beating the corpse
The badge serves a purpose though, it lets you play in the special "hyper expert" mode where every person without one is trying their best to kill you.
Never in my life have i experienced so much joy and happiness from the videogame i have never played. It is a complicated feeling, but not unwelcome one.
This happens alot in games . Battlefield five currently has the same issue in which premium elite skins carry over no matter which side or map your on. So you could be some one eyed German general or a some asshole wearing a burning trench coat and be fighting in a Japanese squad . And there is video and footage of people purposely either kicking them out of their squad , or refusing to revive them . Another a friend mentioned was world of tanks on mobile , in which apparently the Chinese version had a 600$ gold tank which gave you bonus xp and money per match and is one of the best tanks in the game . So people will automatically kill you on sight , including your teammates .
Or Atlas when it was on PC only, the player base was at war with itself between Chinese players and everyone else over the Chinese players en masse griefing non Chinese players (or so I'm told I don't know who fired the first griefing fleet)
cgmaster2 I mean they could just the character they’re using. I haven’t seen that happen in any of the games I’ve played so far but the pacific stuff is great so far
Obsidian: Giorno Outer Wilds:GER (You will never reach the end of criticism) Bethesda: Diavolo Fallout 76: King Crimson (Erases the time between testing and release)
@@tymelthompson4182 I don't know why it's so hard for people to remember; in Outer Wilds you explore worlds, and in Outer Worlds you explore the wilds. Pretty self explanatory stuff.
@@WandererRedux I don't know why it's so hard for people to remember; both of the names of these games sound and look the same and so your brain still mixes them up. Pretty self explanatory stuff.
Literally every release is further and further away from what Fallout used to be. The closest they ever were was Fallout 3. Obsidian obviously was closer to the mark but Bethesda keep straying further away, even with their own IP The Elder Scrolls they keep straying away from what it started out as to go in a more casual direction to attract more people purely for the sake of profit.
The thing that gets me the most is that, as pointed out by people on twitter, FO76 is already a "60 dollar" game. This isn't free players versus paying ones, like you get on MMOs, its paying payers versus players who pay more than they do.
@@BurnTheDemon Outta all of those it's only BioWare I feel sorry for. EA's been draining their blood for years. At this point I just wonder when the kiss of death will finally release them.
11:14 Man this was a great time to laugh at Bugthesda. As an audio listener to the podcast first, I could absolutely hear Woolie's smile through the audio when he announced the class war. 😂❤
Let it not be forgotten that Fallout 76 still uses the old creation engine so haphazardly slapped together that it's more duct tape than engine at this point. What does anyone expect when Bethesda tries to add something new to the thing that barely holds itself together to do the thing it was made for a decade ago?
@@baronvonslambert That's a fair assessment, but what splits this engine from many others is that its design is really just functional at best, and a cornucopia of terrible scripting in all other scenarios. This design, handed off to the B-team of their company, had to be gerry-rigged from single player to a massively multiplayer framework... and everything, quite literally from the ground up in an already shakey design, collapsed in on itself as a result. Rarely do you see a game engine break so hard that it bricks a person's console or device, but the Creation Engine found a way.

Is anyone doing a "reset the clock" compilation for, respectively, Anthem and Fallout 76? We need at least one of those after all this shit is over... whenever that is.
There still doesn't seem to be any *actual* proof of people attacking each other over this outside of people saying that people are attacking each other over this which is *actually* causing people to attack people over this. Basically, one asshole did a thing and then it blew up.
Why would someone explicitly say they worked on Fallout 76? That's obvious, a broken game with zero effort on the making that still managed to make money for almost a year? EA, UBI and 2K would die for a staff like that
To any and all people who have a big employment gap, here is my advice to you if employers ask, say you needed to take time off to help a mom or dad or brother deal with a death in the family. Build it up, say that your uncle was super important to that person and they were wrecked, but make sure you don't say your mom died, you can have a ton of uncles and aunts I had 10 at peak
It's either Sterling, Red Letter Media or a random guy somewhere. Pat's mind goblins poison his ability to watch and seek out good reviewers and sources.
Why spend time and money on advertising when a bigger company with a rival product is doing it so poorly that you look better by comparison? Bethesda is basically doing free advertising for Obsidian and it's hilarious!
We are almost at the 1st year anniversary for FO 76 and the fucking blunders just won't stop, bethesda's (executives) unwillingness to let the project die and keep trying to squeeze every single drop of ANYTHING this fucking failure has, baffles the Community FOR A FUCKING YEAR!!!! LETS GET THIS BREAD BOIIIISS!!!!
Hey so this popped up on my recommends and the buying of Zenimax/Bethesda seems like a good follow up. Audio podcast listener so hope this comes up this week
The fucked up thing is that the annual sub is normally not newsworthy. Most MMOs will offer a yearly subscription...and paying it is actually a money saver.
So... Recap on 76 -76 is announced at E3 -Bethesda/Todd Howard said it's Massive Multiplayer. Concerns rise over months of waiting. -Beta is released... 2 weeks before the game's launch. The beta would also uninstall itself, and of course, the beta is shit. -Fallout 76 is released. QUEST STARTED -SO MANY bugs, glitches, and crashes, more than any other game that has ever existed. -Patches barely fixes the game -Dev Room incident -No Human NPCs or any interesting story bits -Cosmetic store in a 60$ game -THE WHOLE DUFFLE BAG SCAM, ranging from Canvas being replaced with nylon, to 500 atoms "makeup", then, having to wait 4-6 months, PLUS, private information being shared during to Bethesda's website also being shit. To this day, people never got there canvas duffle bags. Lawsuits happened as well. -More patches to the game that doesn't do much. -Nuka Cola Rum being changed and delayed. -Cosmetic store now has items that are basically "timesavers" -MAJORITY OF THE BUGS ARE STILL IN THE GAME AFTER 6 MONTHS -E3 2019 rolls on by. New Expansions, like actually adding Human NPC... and a BR... -More timesavers -A 76 leather jacket that looks like shit, sold at a high price. -Game is still a big infested mess. -FINALLY. WE MADE IT TO THIS POINT. Fallout 1st. Which is explained in this video. I am sorry if I did miss any other stories.
Possible Crazy Talk at 11:26 There are free players, because in someplaces, I think it was Germany, they where giving away Fallout 76 for free with p4 controllers or something.
I don't k ow what those people are going to put on their CV, but I know what people told the guy who wrote Battlefield Earth. "The industry knows it's not your fault, just focus on making the best job possible next time." Which is not as unfair as it could be I guess.
Honestly, if they had a single player campaign on one side, and the 76 mode was a separate, survival mode role-playing based multiplayer. It could have been alright.
_"Authorities were Shocked when a man who signed a Disclaimer to have 3 tons of Filing Cabinets dumped on himself, was later found unresponsive and no longer breathing"_
I would watch fallout first member hunting videos. For the number of you actually playing the game and participating in the class war, document that shit.
I knew zenimax would eventually gut bethesda, but honestly its kinda sad seeing it. ONe of my all time favourite fantasy settings is tes and its probably dead forever. chim I guess.

They said welcome aboard"
Sound a bit parallel to how Todd Howard got to be part of Bethesda. Kinda...
Got the whole of the gaming industry sucking on my teat, and it feels SO GOOD
Fallout 76 is actually a real-life vault experiment.
You joke, but if they get desperate for monetization... I could see Bethesda secretly selling control over the game to some government agency to run social experiments on their customers.

he doesnt drop stuff when it's hot, maybe some months after the game is finally abandoned he'll get on it
Yeah, Fallout 76 season 2... I mean, Fallout 1st is giving plenty reasons for another video to be made.

Good, the fiscally irresponsible will be beaten until the lesson is learned.
Bethesda is a zombie horse. No matter how dead, it's always ready for a good beating.

Wouldn't it be its kink? You are both beating a dead horse and beating a dead horse
The idea of premium members being literally punished by the rest of the player base is amazing
Living in a time where games should get better over time after release and seeing the opposite is amazing levels of incompetence
