Hey All! Thank you so much for watching these trailers with me. Unfortunately, the video got copyright claimed. Because I have decided to no longer mute sections of my videos to get around these claims, I would greatly appreciate it if you watched another one of my videos. Thanks again! You guys are the best! -H
I know you're a fan of Honest Trailere, and there's some great ones for some video games. This one is for one of the best written games of the last 30 years called Disco Elysium. It is SO GOOD I can't even tell you! This trailer should hopefully give you an idea what it's about: ruclips.net/video/onGvWgx2jnw/видео.html If you fancied checking it out, I think you'd really enjoy it!
@@HannaHsOverInvested it's a line commonly spoken by random NCR soldiers in Fallout: New Vegas. They're complaining about the heat of the Mojave Desert. They repeat it quite frequently, so it basically became a meme.
"Imagine how stinky it would be living in a Vault." I've been obsessed with this series since 2009, yet somehow this is something I've never considered.
I kinda noticed the Fallout universe must smell awful when I was in a brewery that was infested with mirelurks. Imagine, the smell of rank beer combined with rotten crab... ugh.
The guy in the checkered suit is voiced by Matthew "Chandler" Perry from Friends, by the way. He was a big fan of the previous game and begged to be in this one.
@@HannaHsOverInvested he actually did a great job voicing Benny 😃 Even with all the different choices you make (a good role playing game with assist of mods to prevent it from crashing) he does a really good voice acting 😃 If you want to see the many paths you take (interesting dialog with different factions if you want to join a differentgroup) I would suggest watching oxhorn for lore in the game
@@HannaHsOverInvested Yeah, fair point, sorry. A good story about Matthew Perry was when some World of Warcraft guild players were meeting up and it was about a dozen random nerds and also Chandler Bing. They apparently had no idea he was THAT Matthew Perry until he showed up with pizzas and beers.
The really scary part? That would've been the optimistic result. The cold war arsenal of nuclear weaponry on both sides was so insanely massive, that it could've easily reduced the planet to the point where only surviving living things were deep sea bacteria. Don't get me wrong, 13 080 nuclear weapons existing in the world today is nothing to sneeze at, but it pales in comparison with what united states and soviet union used to have: United States stockpiles peaked at 31 255 warheads, while Soviet Union at their strongest had 46 000 warheads. In combined, they had around 6 times more nukes than currently is estimated to exist in world today. Think about that for a while. And back then, building nuclear weapons was very much of a dick measuring contest. Tsar Bomba was the biggest nuclear weapon that ever has been detonated: with estimations of ranging from 50-58 megatons in yield. The shockwave caused by the blast circled the entire globe three times. While it's use as a practical weapon was questionable, the fact that such weapon could be build in the first place had everyone shitting bricks. Edit: So I found a pretty neat website called "Nukemap" where you can test the effects of nuclear weapons on targets of you choosing. You can choose some of the past and current nuclear weapons like Tsar Bomba or it's never build successor Tsar bomba II that had a planned yield of 100 megatons. As bonus, you can also choose whether the detonation is airborne or surface. The website also shows estimations of radiactive fallout. nuclearsecrecy.com/nukemap/
I love fallout, it's the only reason I clicked to watch - As you started watching and reading the TV add on the TV in the first video I had a thought! After I cleared the smoke out of my room I realized that I have come to take so much for granted as a gamer (my mom says she washed my new T-shirt and the stain is indeed, gone). For example - the details you picked up on, I take all of these for granted (I'm aware they exist but I already have a formed impression of the lore/setting) and don't need to consider the impact the opening has (this is universally true where every new product launch has trailers, youtube for spoilers etc). You're reactions are things I don't get to do anymore with a franchise I love! So Thank you for sharing what I had lost.
Yeah, fallout lore is pretty interesting.It's history diverged from our own after the 2nd world war at the latest. In this world the cold war was with China and it continued for like a century, even as tech got more advanced American culture remained stuck in the fifties, a mix of optimism about the power of the atom and paranoia about the red menace.
Electronics as in transistors never evolved. Vacuum tubes evolved and replaced micro-chips. Everything was based on the futurism ideas of the 1950's published in the USA how they believed the future around the year 2000 and beyond would look like. Based on this divergent past the Fallout franchise advanced into that doomed August of 2077.
"is there a movie?" Me: no, but there's a fan made live action series, and it's pretty awesome. btw Ron Perlman has been the narrator for the Fallout franchise, and he gets my blood pumping whenever i'm about to venture into the Fallout universe.
Fallout New Vegas is so good. It's my favourite of the series. After getting shot in the head, you wake up in a rural doctor's home who just patched you up, from there you can decide to make your character however you want to. I love the freedom that Fallout New Vegas gives you!
@@HannaHsOverInvested and you can become a member of various factions, even of those mentioned in that intro, New Californian Republic or Legion (there are over 20 of them). You can be anyone between almost new Jesus and almos Devil himself. Also, you made many friends while playing the game. And then they can travel with you, and help you in battle. And on the basis of their morals, and on the basis of what you subsequently do, they can leave you.
@@HannaHsOverInvested And i strongly suggest to watch: Fallout 4: What makes you S.P.E.C.I.A.L. (All S.P.E.C.I.A.L. videos combined) - it's a bunch of short animated movies about your attributes, and they are really funny.
@@HannaHsOverInvested Fun Fact: Fallout games are mostly shooter role playing games. In the new vegas one, it is said you can complete the whole game without ever killing anyone, but by talking your way out.
So, the Fallout series is a fun one with a lot of satire and social/political commentary that, unfortunately, flies right over some fan's heads and they take it at face value. Its also been passed around a couple developers and writing teams so quality hasnt been exactly consistent. Still one of my all time faves
@@LadyMireille not just in games, its unfortunately a trademark of satire that there will always be someone who full throatedly agrees with the exact opposite message the work tries to convey. Like the infamous "wow! cool robot!" meme
There's a popular character from New Vegas named Joshua Graham also known as the burned man who is a Mormon, he was lit on fire by Caesar's legion and thrown into the grand canyon, he survived, depending on your actions in the game you can help him or not. There's so many interesting characters throughout the series with different backstories. There's lots of memes of Joshua Graham
08:50 ABSOLUTELY. The game's industry is bigger than the music and film industries and has been for a decade now. Even after 3 decades of extremely artistically produced games with exceptional writing and voice acting, it's still viewed as kids just playing games.
@@HannaHsOverInvested You're like the perfect kind of non-gamer. You actually went looking for information about games, how they're made, how they tell their stories. You have enough wisdom and are open minded enough to actually want to learn about it. That says good things about the kind of person you are, shows a lot of empathy and that you don't take things at face value. So, kudos all around, I guess!
Gaming industry today makes more money than movie industry. There are more movie adaptations for videogames than ever before, and movie studios now use gaming engines to shoot their movies (Mandalorian uses Unreal Engine for all of their scenes)
@@HannaHsOverInvested i bet its now even bigger than hollywood. But im sure the lore and stories of several if not many games are better than most hollywood movies. I think i already comment it on other of your videos. I also recommend check honest game trailers and similar channels. Keep it up.
"What happens next?" Well, Hannah we entire game happens next. After getting rescued/revived by a doctor you begin your journey. The first goal, find the man in the checkered suit and recover the platinum chip that was taken from you.
Also you get shot by the guy in the checkered suit who (you may soon figure out) has some sort of connection to Mr. House. And you get pulled out of the grave and brought to the doctor by a robot connected to... Mr. House. The house *always* wins. ... ... ... unless you find the owner of said house and beat him to death with a golf club, then screw over both of the warring armies and take over the whole damn place yourself. NO GODS! NO MASTERS!
Just saying: courier six (the postman) is the most badass of the protagonists. He’s literally waging war simply because someone shot him and interrupted his delivery
What happens after being shot in the face? You are saved by a robot cowboy who works for Odo from Star Trek. You then set out to hunt down Matthew Perry but instead die at the hands of a mutated bug or lizard because you went north instead of south.
AFAIK, Fallout exists in a world where the transistor was extremely limited and was invented later than it was in real life. Hence why Fallout has so many Vacuum Tubes: technology is still largely dependent on stuff like diodes, cathode ray tubes, and so on. Really lends to the 50s aesthetic. Also yes. It's supposed to be creepy as shit lol
Never stop mentioning your books. I bought the first one and loved it! Originally was just going to read a single chapter but ended up reading half the book before bed.
Thank you so much!!! I really appreciate you saying that! I just try to throw it in quick because that is why I started the channel but I realize that is not why people are here.
One minor bit of trivia: Every major Fallout game has a War Never Changes speech in the intro, and every single time so far it has been voiced by Ron Perlman.
Except Fallout 4, which is voiced by the same actor as the male Sole Survivor. Perlman voices the news anchor on the TV during the playable prologue, tho.
Good always wins over evil. Not because the good is so strong. But because history is written by the winners - and victory is elimination of those who could object.
So, after you get shot in the face in New vegas a robot finds you (this robot may or may not have been following you for a while) and brings you to a doc. The doc patches you up and you go on quest trying to understand why you were ambushed. You quickly realize that there was something fishy about your delivery. Basically you learn that you and 5 others couriers were tasked with delivering random items to Mr. House in the New Vegas strip. You were each given different itineraries and you all got ambushed. In addition, the random item you were tasked with delivering may or may not play a major role in who will get to control the Mojave. Also, they may have been a 7th courier obsessed with bulls and bears for some reason.
I thought that currier 6 was the only one that got ambushed, since Johnson Nash tells you that payment for delivery has been processed for the other five packages.
1997 and 1998 are really the years that video games started to get this kind of immersive storytelling. Prior to that, speech was difficult to incorporate into most games, and graphics weren't quite where they needed to be -- oh, and floppy disc's storage limitations put severe limits on what you could do. Once all those pieces came together, though, there were a bunch of games that started to change how we look at video game narratives (Fallout, Baldur's Gate, Metal Gear Solid, Thief: the Dark Project, and Half-Life are the ones that come to mind as I write this). Even then, most of these games were developed by programmers who could write. By the mid-2000s, developers were starting to hire dedicated writers to write their game scripts, rather than having someone pull double duty, and that's when things really took off. But most of these games? They get included in best-of lists and have a heap of critical acclaim, but are vastly outsold by sports games like Madden and the latest Call of Duty military shooter, so the image of what a gamer is really hasn't changed in all that time.
It would have been 92 or 93 when I bought Ys I & II for my TurboGrafx CD. That was the first game I ever heard real voice on. I still remember feeling the tingles in my spine when the voice started speaking. I believe Ys I & II was first launched on the TG in 1990. I couldn't afford the $399.99 CD add on (plus the cost of the game) until the price dropped to sub $200 a couple of years after launch. As you mentioned it was still a few years later before voice became common on games.
wow, I can't believe you know that quote. my favorite war quote is "No plan survives contact with the enemy". my life favorite quote is "Good judgment comes from experience, and experience comes from bad judgment."
Fallout takes place in an alternate reality where the silicon computer chip is never invented so everyone still uses vacuum tubes, which is where the sci-fi but stuck in the 50's look comes from.
The intro to New Vegas is truly great, but really, the story of the entire game is great. You start the game after coming to in a local doctor's house, after being dragged out of your shallow grave by one of Mr. House's robots. Sadly, Fallout 4 is all downhill after the admittedly-compelling intro. Also, you should do Fallout 2, it also has a great intro.
new vegas is really fun lol no joke and fallout 4 is kinda of a superior game with a good story but fallout 4 has a lot of cut content that could've made the game better and it had some lazy writing, the minutemen for example. i was shocked after i added the cut content mods that should've been in the game it would've made the game a lot more fun. Edit: new vegas of course is great and fo4 is good
@@dudeguy3243 Fallout 4 is a superior shooter*. New Vegas beats it in most other categories. Characters have real motivations, the world building makes sense and it's an actual rpg. +New Vegas has the brains to not make an overly long opening section.
@@tezz2698 However FO4 is a poor shooter, they designed enemies that you wouldnt find out of place in DOOM, gave you weapons that could also be in DOOM but then the actual combat is rubbish. New Vegas and FO3 knew that it was a shit shooter and was designed in an RPG way to play around it, while FO4 was designed as an action game despite lacking the most important part and making that action the loop you want to play.
I still remember being 15 back in 2008, playing Fallout 3 for hours when it came out, then taking a break from gaming by going to the Fallout wiki to read about the game and understand all the lore behind it and the details I couldn't quite catch during the game. The world of Fallout is so expansive that I definitely recommend anyone to spend an hour or two in the wiki reading a bit about it all :)
Fallout 4 was released after New Vegas, but starts before the War that wrecked the world, but the game jumps past that rather quickly to the War Torn Nuclear Waste of a World that Fans have grown to love exploring. They are definitely interesting games especially since most are more RPGs so you get to make different choices and decisions that can impact the world to some extent.
Sorry to hear about the DMCA stuff being a pain again, but I'm really glad you took a peek at Fallout! I'll admit, I haven't played it much, but the concept is so deeply political and humorous at the same time, and its executed so well. Hope you have a good day!
As for your point about what a gamer looks like, you'll probably be as surprised as I am. The actual metrics that exist deviate HEAVILY from the skinny white dude in his basement, with pizza stains on his shirt.
The best part about this is that this is like a movie that you can play and participate in. Make critical decisions compromise your morals or not. Find friends get lovers buy property and determine your own story.
I'm glad you enjoyed this since fallout is one of my favourite franchises :)) there is actually a fallout tv show in the works by the people who made westworld but its probably years out from release
As someone who grew up watching my father play Fallout 1&2 in the late 90s, This was pretty cool to see. The FO universe is one of my favorites in any medium. I think that the writers took a simple concept and turned it into a masterpiece. Awesome to see that it also has real mainstream appeal, and isn't just considered junk art like many games are prone to being labeled. Going to watch more of your videos now, thanks for an awesome introduction to your channel.
16:57 key point here - this is the "divergence point" for the alternate history of the Fallout universe. America started using atomic energy in everything rather than shying away, and in doing so also ended up passing over microcomputers. (And technically transistors) Around our time (2022) American society was still mostly a fifties dixieland style culture, and uses fission and even fusion power, they have powerful machines, but any "computers" they have are primitive, clunky machines still using vacuum tubes and punch cards. For complex tasks, in lieu of microcomputers, they use transplanted human brains (mostly from death row convicts)
You'll be SO HAPPY to know there's actually a Fallout TV show coming out from the people who made West World. Can't wait for non-gamers to enjoy a series I love.
Not necessarily story ideas, but I think about how my novels could be a game a lot. How it could be expanded or have slightly different outcomes that are decision based.
It's incredible that so many years later in a reaction video to a game thats been out for years that all it takes is those two piano notes to give me full body goosebumps! lol I love the Fallout franchise! One of the best out there for rich lore and worldbuilding and every game tells an incredible story! Love seeing you appreciate the time and effort that went into these games and recognizing the impact they can have, even on someone whose never played them! I've often considered games to be on of the most powerful story-telling mediums bc they actual pull you in and make you part of the experience! Love the reactions!
Unsurprisingly there’s a very diverse community based around gaming, but there are always a few who very loudly live up to and maintain the old stereotype, some of whom also try to gatekeep.
@@MrThankman360 Oh, good grief, don’t be obtuse. You know as well as I that the stereotype under discussion goes well beyond melanin levels and body types into negative behaviour patterns and attitudes, adoption of which are a personal choice.
@@bipstymcbipste5641 People are allowed to criticise things, and for criticism to be constructive it needs to suggest changes. Ultimately game production is a business with the goal of making money for investors. If there is enough of a market for the problematic stuff you like, it will be made; if there is more profit to be made doing something else, companies will do that instead. Making a product that appeals to a broader range of customers is generally a more attractive prospect than targeting a specific niche, though, particularly as your production budget rises. Plus many developers get bored retreading the same ground over and over again, and like to change things up. Tastes and fashions in the industry change and always have; gatekeeping and playing “no true Scotsman” aren’t going to prevent that and only serve to reflect badly on the person doing it.
I love your reactions to these intros! It really is sad that even though games can have such fantastic story telling moments but people just think of gamers as you said, "dudes with a pizza stain on their shirt" or violent psychopaths. If you ever wanted to play a game in the series, Fallout: New Vegas would be the best from a story perspective since it touches on a lot of very interesting ethical concepts. Also I would love to see a reaction to he first 15/20 minutes of fallout 4 because right after that intro cinematic you have a gameplay section that is also really emotional too!
@@HannaHsOverInvested I really appreciate that you're giving the Fallout universe a look -- thanks for indulging us. I've got to say, Fallout: New Vegas probably has the best writing and dialogue in the series. If ever you were to start Let's Plays, I would recommend that one ;)
The chronological or release order doesn't really matter because most of the games are independent stories with at most a reference or recurring character here and there. I think just Fallout and Fallout 2 are sequels. Most games take place in different parts of the US so that also makes them very disconnected in most cases. But yeah, you're not getting more from these things because these are just the intros to the games. So once they end the game starts. But I imagine there are videos on youtube that explain the stories of these games (and others as well) for you if you don't plan on playing them.
Well, in Fallout 2 you play the descendant of your character from Fallout, and their sequel is New Vegas ( you may or may not have saved the first NCR president in Fallout and helped create it in Fallout 2 ). Events from 1 & 2 are referenced also in 3 & 4, as well as events from 3 and New Vegas in 4 so they are all interconnected.
@@Akredi Sure, but for the story of those games it really doesn't matter. As I said, there are some references here and there but the stories are very stand alone. You don't need to play any of these games to understand what is happening in one of them. You would just miss a reference or two.
In Fallout 3 there is a foul mouthed kid who threatens to kill your character..his name is MacCready In Fallout 4 there is a grown man who can become your follower if you treat him right..his name is MacCready Same guy..
Fallout 1, 2, tactics (semi cannon) and New Vegas considered connected. 3, 4 and 76 are not and just exist with fallout on the cover. It may seen I'm not a fan of 3, 4 or 76 but on the contrary I enjoy them alot it's just they don't fallow the the legacy of the first 4. There is fallout brotherhood of steel but mostly considered an abomination.
I think the world of Fallout is super interesting, especially in New Vegas where there's a political aspect to it. If I were to write fanfiction it'd probably be Fallout fanfiction.
This video was so good, definitely going to check out more of your videos! The timeline of the ALL the games with release dates goes as follows (note that a few of these games are now considered non-canon): *Bombs drop in 2077* Fallout (1997) takes place in 2161 Fallout Tactics (2001) takes place in 2197 Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel (2004) takes place in 2208. This game really sucks. Lol. Fallout 2 (1998) takes place in 2241 Fallout 3 (2008) takes place in 2277 Fallout: New Vegas (2010) takes place in 2281 Fallout 4 (2015) takes place in 2287 And that's all the games! I would definitely recommend watching the trailers for Fallout 2 and 3, and maybe some of the other trailers for Fallout New Vegas and Fallout 4. I really love the launch trailer for Fallout 4, it's one of my favorites.
Check some videos out about the lore of the vaults. Most vaults made by Vault-Tec were actually made to run experiments on their inhabitants with little concern for the people inside. Some are super messed up.
in fallout new vegas, you get your brains blown, a robot digs you out of your unmarked grave and a ex vault dweller doctor fixes your head... and then you are tossed into a irradiated dessert to hunt down the man who shooted at you
8:50 okay that was fucking funny. Hard agree though. Gaming is insanely demonised for what is really just an interactive medium of entertainment. It has advantaged and disadvantages over other forms of media, as all have. It even goes on well before computer games were fully popular too. TTRPG's (Tabletop RPGs) aka Pen and Paper RPGS, the precursor to video games, some might argue, were also demonised. Hell, Dungeons and Dragons was thought to be satanic in the eighties just because it drew from various religions and mythologies, so had statblocks and lore for all sorts of demons, devils and fiends, alongside gods, angels and demigods. Classically, that whole debacle was known as the Satanic Panic.
@@ethanbolger6690 lmao people thinking the Monster Manual is some kind of devil summoning ritual book, and the Dungeon Masters Guide is CLEARLY how to set up and influence a cult who hang on every word you say, and ensures you have authority ove- hol up a minute... Maybe I AM a cult leader... I need better cultists wtf. All they do is solve crime and, paradoxically, steal fresh pies from windowsills.
Fallout 1 and 2 were top down isometric games (no actual game play was shown in the Fallout 1 trailer, just some cut scene stuff). Then Fallout Vegas came which was first person. From there all have been first person (3, 4 and the online mmo 76). In 2 and 3 even if you were looking down your gun sights mid target it made an attack roll off screen for a hit. Starting in 4 if the computer detects you are aiming in the right place (hit scan) you get the hit rather than whatever value your gun skills would provide. Something called V.A.T.S. can be activated that still gives you a percent chance to hit. All of them take place after the Great War of 2077, In most of them you are a Vault Dweller coming to the surface (New Vegas being the main exception). In some the war was only 20 to 40 years ago, in others it was more than 100 years ago (You were cryo-frozen in FO 4 for example). They all share the same world design and many things like the Mister Handy robots, Nuka-Cola, and power armor crop up in all the games. [Might not be a Mister Handy in New Vegas - there are robots but of a different design). Oh yeah - no movie but there is supposed to be a Fallout series in the works for a streaming service. Plus there are many Fallout fan films on You Tube.
just to clarify one detail. FO3 came before New Vegas. New Vegas is practically an expansion with a new zone and story for FO3. Some mechanics are also different, but it's otherwise the same game, but with a better story and a different protagonist. Although it's kind of on the rails since trying to step away from the predetermined path will usually get you jumped by packs of Deathclaws and/or swarmed by Cazadors long before you're capable of dealing with one of either species.
"I couldn't name a single Video Game Awards thing" Congratulations, you inadvertently did lmfao. The VGAs are one of my favorite times of the year actually.
They're actually currently in the making of Fallout tv series. I'm excited for it cuz the lore which taking different timeline after ww2 is really interesting.
First of all, glad you reached to Fallout one of my most favorite games! Second, I hope you can react to *Beejie Bean's L4D2 series!* which was based on the game "L4D2" which was created by the same creators of TF2 (Valve). All I'll say is that it takes place in zombie apocalypse and you follow 4 survivors who are immune to the infection. The characters are so interesting and the story is just phenomenal!
16:16 Short answer: No. Not so short answer: Yes, but if it's a unavoidable war that also means the country you rule will not resist. And that in the end might make the ruler into a war criminal in the history books. But that adds "ifs" and "mights" to the answer. PS: I recommend a video with the initial gameplay moments of Fallout 4!
I’ll tell you a quick little story and then my opinion on the fallout franchise. (Post typing all this out me here, sorry for the chapter I just typed out.) I have younger parents then most, I’m 20 my parents are both in their early 40s, and my pops grew up playing these games when he was a kid. As I got older and started to watch my dad play these games and newer ones, I became completely and utterly infatuated with them. Fallout New Vegas, the one where you get shot in the head (twice), is hands down my favorite game of all time and most likely will always be. And I’ll never forget the Saturday mornings with my dad waiting for me and my brother in the living room waiting to play Fallout. In a few years, my own son is going to be old enough to play these games with me and I honestly cannot wait to share that with him. (My opinion on Fallout): So the first couple of fallout games were made by a studio called Interplay. They made their stories very enjoyable and non linear, from character customization to the choices you make in the world. They eventually sold the IP of fallout to Bethesda who got to work making their own fallout game in a more modern engine. Which is where we got the pile of poo that is Fallout 3. Very linear, one track, story that honestly I’ve never been able to finish myself, had to read about it because playing it put me to sleep. Bethesda tried to mainstream the game from being this epic dystopian fantasy world where your choices have an effect on the world around you into one of the mindless shooters that people garble up like candy these days. Fallout new Vegas was outsourced by Bethesda to a company call Obsidian entertainment, which had a lot of people working there that worked for interplay before the company crashed (I think, correct me if I’m wrong). Bethesda said, make us another fallout game and make it good, by the way, you have 18 months to do it, good luck ✌🏼. In 18 MONTHS, they gave us the gem that is Fallout New Vegas, with a gripping story, interesting characters, and a literally butt ton of side quests to get lost in the sauce with. There are a million things I could rattle off about but there’s at least 20 videos on RUclips explaining what I just typed out. If you read this far, you must be wishing for a nuclear winter, huh?
Wow, your parents are my age or possibly younger 😆 My 14 year old loves watching me play FO games, but she doesn’t want to play them herself for some reason. She has a new game-worthy pc, I’ve offered to buy the games for her, and I’d help her out with mods. 🤷🏼♀️
the trailer for the first Fallout is one of the darkest trailers i’ve ever seen for a video game. It’s so gritty and gives me a weird feeling i can’t quite explain.
I'd really love to tell you about the Vaults but don't want to spoil much. I highly recommend Oxhorns "The Full Story of Vault 11" to get a feel for how the Vaults were not all they seemed, and how Vault Tec isn't some Miracle Corp, but in fact a bunch of scientists with a knack for experimentation and a will to further science, even if at the detriment to human life
...... but in fact the US Government sponsoring a bunch of Scientists to study a lot of different tests about what happens to humans who experience extreme long term confinement and isolation in preparation for abandoning the planet and going somewhere else to get away from those damned Commies, Poor people, and Minorities.
I think one of the biggest reasons that "gamers" image hasn't changed much from the sweaty neck beard in his moms basement is for two big reasons. One is that we don't care that much about the perception of the people who don't participate in our hobby, as long as they don't try to tell us that what we do is hurting others or is morally reprehensible. Two, I think that the major media companies that used to dominate entertainment continue the trope on purpose because they are losing to video games as a medium to make a profit, and they don't understand how to appeal to a group of people that don't put up with bullshit from the people selling them their entertainment as much as others do. If a game is bad or does something we hate, WE'LL TELL YOU. Companies don't like that, they want people to consume and shut up. So they would rather have people be peer pressured in to not trying those mediums of art so they can keep the bottom line.
And the third reason is that there is a very large percentage of the gamer base that lives up to the stereotype with gusto and who actively drag the entire community down.
@@frieza65 I don't think it's very large, I think there are a lot of people out there ready to play the role to get reactions, but the actual nasties out there aren't really that high in number.
Honestly the Fallout 1 trailer is a great way to set up the tone in the series, showing a propaganda video about the US military committing war crimes on civilians in a new colony (Canada), only for said soldiers to LAUGH and wave at the camera as if nothing is wrong. Like, damn, that's some cool ass satire of American Jingoism, would love for Todd Howard to have understood any of that.
I will state this for absolute clarity gatekeeping people from entering a hobby is wrong. GATEKEEPING people who don’t even want to be apart of your hobby and just want to change it to suit whatever “morale” or “political” values they hold is absolutely correct no matter who they are or what values they hold also most if not all gaming award venues suck
In Fallout New Vegas, you recover from your case of shotintheheaditis (actual medical term, a doctor says it) and proceed to chase the man in the checkered outfit all across to mojave desert to New Vegas where the plot thickens... alot. Then you are thrust on the path of deciding who lives and who dies in the upcoming second battle over Hoover Dam. And yes, there must be a battle between these warring factions, because it's war. And war never changes.
Best Quote to come out of a fallout DLC is "Take Drugs Kill A Bear" this occurs in fallout new vegas during the DLC: Honest Hearts, if you take the wild wasteland perk at the beginning of the game which causes lots of random and silly occurrences to happen.
10:00 Kind of connected :) The devs from FO1 and FO2 are now Obsidian Entertaiment (back then "Black Isle Studio") and in Fallout New Vegas many ideas and stories came from the cancelled Interplay-FO3 :) (That's why FONV is a Fan-Fav among the Fallout Games)
Fallout 2 has the best opening. "An atomic spark struck by human hands quickly rage out of control . Spears of nuclear fire rained from the skies. Continents were swallowed in flames and fell beneath the boiling oceans. Humanity was almost extinguished, their spirits becoming part of the background radiation that blanketed the earth."
WOW! I've play fallout ALOT, but never thought to watch all the intros back to back. The Story as a whole is RICH in humanity with eerie parallels to today. I would HIGHLY suggest watching all the intros for all 5 games in chrono along with the first 5 to ten minutes pass the intro! (new vegas is a WILD story!). This video has definitely prompted me to shared this lore with friends who are unfamiliar. Thanks Hannah for sharing your unfiltered perspective!
I enjoyed this video and I'm glad you liked the Fallout trailer. To fully discuss the links between the various fallout games, I might get into the weeds a bit about development history. So I'm not going to do that. I will say that Fallout 2 is a direct sequel to Fallout and the Player-Character in Fallout 2 (the Chosen One) is a descendent of the Player-Character in Fallout (the Vault Dweller) and the connections to the other games are not as direct in terms of story. They're all basically set in the same world, though. The thing about all those introduction videos is that they set the stage for where the Player starts the game and the story of the game itself unfolds afterwards. In Fallout, you start out exiting from Vault 13 and your character knows literally nothing about the outside world. In Fallout: New Vegas, your character wakes up in a doctor's house having just been treated for a head injury (and suffering brain-trauma-related amnesia). In Fallout 4, you start out at home just before the 'Great War' mentioned in the background for all other other Fallout games - then the bombs drop. So, that's different. To my knowledge, Fallout 4 doesn't have any direct story connection to the other Fallout games, aside from happening in the same world - well, the Brotherhood of Steel chapter from Fallout 3 re-locates to the Commonwealth fairly early-on in Fallout 4 and if the player wants to there's the option to team up with them. Additionally, there are some offhand mentions of events from Fallout Tactics made by some NPCs in Fallout 4 - which is interesting because Fallout Tactics was made officially non-canon when Fallout 3 was released. Of the later Fallout games, Fallout: New Vegas has the most connection to the story of Fallout and Fallout 2. Side-notes: 1) Your pre-conceived notion of a "gamer" was a surprisingly close fit for me for about a decade (from the early 1990s to the early 2000s). I'm not as skinny as I used to be. No I don't feel attacked, though I am tempted to pontificate for a while about 'gamers and the games they play.' There are reasons that stereotype exists, though I'd been thinking it had mostly faded away over the past decade. 2) Amusingly, the first time I played Fallout 4 I randomly ran across a postal-worker's uniform in one of the first few abandoned buildings I explored. I immediately thought of "The Postman" and had my character put on the uniform before heading on to the next town. That was a complete coincidence, though. It was a randomly-spawned item from the game's "loot" tables. 3) Release-order of the games in the Fallout franchise: Fallout (1997), Fallout 2 (1998), Fallout: Tactics (2001), Fallout 3 (2008), Fallout: New Vegas (2010), Fallout 4 (2015), Fallout: 76 (2018). 4) Fallout & Fallout 2 have the same game engine and are old-fashioned computer RPGs with an isometric view from above. Fallout 3 and later have a first-person perspective*, with game engines derived from Bethesda's Elder Scrolls series of games; therefore I consider them to be shooters with strong role-playing elements rather than true CRPGs. Many people find the first-person view more "immersive." I am not one of those people. * You can optionally switch to a third-person over-the-shoulder perspective. I prefer this mode, but it throws off the aim of your weapons and for some difficult combats I find I have to switch back to first-person to aim properly.

The really scary part? That would've been the optimistic result. The cold war arsenal of nuclear weaponry on both sides was so insanely massive, that it could've easily reduced the planet to the point where only surviving living things were deep sea bacteria.
Don't get me wrong, 13 080 nuclear weapons existing in the world today is nothing to sneeze at, but it pales in comparison with what united states and soviet union used to have: United States stockpiles peaked at 31 255 warheads, while Soviet Union at their strongest had 46 000 warheads.
In combined, they had around 6 times more nukes than currently is estimated to exist in world today. Think about that for a while.
And back then, building nuclear weapons was very much of a dick measuring contest. Tsar Bomba was the biggest nuclear weapon that ever has been detonated: with estimations of ranging from 50-58 megatons in yield. The shockwave caused by the blast circled the entire globe three times. While it's use as a practical weapon was questionable, the fact that such weapon could be build in the first place had everyone shitting bricks.
Edit: So I found a pretty neat website called "Nukemap" where you can test the effects of nuclear weapons on targets of you choosing. You can choose some of the past and current nuclear weapons like Tsar Bomba or it's never build successor Tsar bomba II that had a planned yield of 100 megatons. As bonus, you can also choose whether the detonation is airborne or surface. The website also shows estimations of radiactive fallout. nuclearsecrecy.com/nukemap/

I love fallout, it's the only reason I clicked to watch - As you started watching and reading the TV add on the TV in the first video I had a thought! After I cleared the smoke out of my room I realized that I have come to take so much for granted as a gamer (my mom says she washed my new T-shirt and the stain is indeed, gone). For example - the details you picked up on, I take all of these for granted (I'm aware they exist but I already have a formed impression of the lore/setting) and don't need to consider the impact the opening has (this is universally true where every new product launch has trailers, youtube for spoilers etc). You're reactions are things I don't get to do anymore with a franchise I love! So Thank you for sharing what I had lost.
Yeah, fallout lore is pretty interesting.It's history diverged from our own after the 2nd world war at the latest. In this world the cold war was with China and it continued for like a century, even as tech got more advanced American culture remained stuck in the fifties, a mix of optimism about the power of the atom and paranoia about the red menace.
Super interesting!
It diverted after the 1947 Roswell incident...
Coincidence?!
Electronics as in transistors never evolved. Vacuum tubes evolved and replaced micro-chips. Everything was based on the futurism ideas of the 1950's published in the USA how they believed the future around the year 2000 and beyond would look like.
Based on this divergent past the Fallout franchise advanced into that doomed August of 2077.

Fallout New Vegas is so good. It's my favourite of the series. After getting shot in the head, you wake up in a rural doctor's home who just patched you up, from there you can decide to make your character however you want to. I love the freedom that Fallout New Vegas gives you!

Lol you nailed the quote from Einstein, and yeah that's like the point of the games. Great connection to make!
So, the Fallout series is a fun one with a lot of satire and social/political commentary that, unfortunately, flies right over some fan's heads and they take it at face value. Its also been passed around a couple developers and writing teams so quality hasnt been exactly consistent. Still one of my all time faves

Such a weird thing to me.

You're like the perfect kind of non-gamer. You actually went looking for information about games, how they're made, how they tell their stories. You have enough wisdom and are open minded enough to actually want to learn about it.
That says good things about the kind of person you are, shows a lot of empathy and that you don't take things at face value.
So, kudos all around, I guess!

retro futurism is a little creepy to me... I'm into the cloths tho.
AFAIK, Fallout exists in a world where the transistor was extremely limited and was invented later than it was in real life. Hence why Fallout has so many Vacuum Tubes: technology is still largely dependent on stuff like diodes, cathode ray tubes, and so on. Really lends to the 50s aesthetic.

The audiobook is great too. Highly recomended.
"I'm just going to read one chapter" is ALWAYS a lie.
One minor bit of trivia: Every major Fallout game has a War Never Changes speech in the intro, and every single time so far it has been voiced by Ron Perlman.
Except Fallout 4, which is voiced by the same actor as the male Sole Survivor. Perlman voices the news anchor on the TV during the playable prologue, tho.
I did laugh a bit at how quickly the happiness at hearing Canada turned to anger.
Good always wins over evil. Not because the good is so strong. But because history is written by the winners - and victory is elimination of those who could object.
So, after you get shot in the face in New vegas a robot finds you (this robot may or may not have been following you for a while) and brings you to a doc. The doc patches you up and you go on quest trying to understand why you were ambushed. You quickly realize that there was something fishy about your delivery. Basically you learn that you and 5 others couriers were tasked with delivering random items to Mr. House in the New Vegas strip. You were each given different itineraries and you all got ambushed. In addition, the random item you were tasked with delivering may or may not play a major role in who will get to control the Mojave. Also, they may have been a 7th courier obsessed with bulls and bears for some reason.
Bulls, bears, stars, and stripes.
I think Ulysses was supposed to be sixth but then opted out once he found out The Courier was on the list on who could deliver it
@@GuukanKitsune and roads. and flags.
I thought that currier 6 was the only one that got ambushed, since Johnson Nash tells you that payment for delivery has been processed for the other five packages.

1997 and 1998 are really the years that video games started to get this kind of immersive storytelling. Prior to that, speech was difficult to incorporate into most games, and graphics weren't quite where they needed to be -- oh, and floppy disc's storage limitations put severe limits on what you could do. Once all those pieces came together, though, there were a bunch of games that started to change how we look at video game narratives (Fallout, Baldur's Gate, Metal Gear Solid, Thief: the Dark Project, and Half-Life are the ones that come to mind as I write this). Even then, most of these games were developed by programmers who could write.
By the mid-2000s, developers were starting to hire dedicated writers to write their game scripts, rather than having someone pull double duty, and that's when things really took off.
But most of these games? They get included in best-of lists and have a heap of critical acclaim, but are vastly outsold by sports games like Madden and the latest Call of Duty military shooter, so the image of what a gamer is really hasn't changed in all that time.
Interesting!! Thank you!
It would have been 92 or 93 when I bought Ys I & II for my TurboGrafx CD. That was the first game I ever heard real voice on. I still remember feeling the tingles in my spine when the voice started speaking. I believe Ys I & II was first launched on the TG in 1990. I couldn't afford the $399.99 CD add on (plus the cost of the game) until the price dropped to sub $200 a couple of years after launch.
As you mentioned it was still a few years later before voice became common on games.
wow, I can't believe you know that quote.
my favorite war quote is "No plan survives contact with the enemy".
my life favorite quote is "Good judgment comes from experience, and experience comes from bad judgment."
Fallout takes place in an alternate reality where the silicon computer chip is never invented so everyone still uses vacuum tubes, which is where the sci-fi but stuck in the 50's look comes from.
The intro to New Vegas is truly great, but really, the story of the entire game is great. You start the game after coming to in a local doctor's house, after being dragged out of your shallow grave by one of Mr. House's robots.
Sadly, Fallout 4 is all downhill after the admittedly-compelling intro. Also, you should do Fallout 2, it also has a great intro.

I still remember being 15 back in 2008, playing Fallout 3 for hours when it came out, then taking a break from gaming by going to the Fallout wiki to read about the game and understand all the lore behind it and the details I couldn't quite catch during the game. The world of Fallout is so expansive that I definitely recommend anyone to spend an hour or two in the wiki reading a bit about it all :)
I can’t stop thinking of the narrator: Ron Perlman. Each time I hear him narrate Fallout, I think of Slade from Teen Titans.

Fallout 4 was released after New Vegas, but starts before the War that wrecked the world, but the game jumps past that rather quickly to the War Torn Nuclear Waste of a World that Fans have grown to love exploring.
They are definitely interesting games especially since most are more RPGs so you get to make different choices and decisions that can impact the world to some extent.

As for your point about what a gamer looks like, you'll probably be as surprised as I am. The actual metrics that exist deviate HEAVILY from the skinny white dude in his basement, with pizza stains on his shirt.
The best part about this is that this is like a movie that you can play and participate in. Make critical decisions compromise your morals or not. Find friends get lovers buy property and determine your own story.
I'm glad you enjoyed this since fallout is one of my favourite franchises :)) there is actually a fallout tv show in the works by the people who made westworld but its probably years out from release
man! So many game TV shows. I hope they live up to expectation.
As someone who grew up watching my father play Fallout 1&2 in the late 90s, This was pretty cool to see. The FO universe is one of my favorites in any medium. I think that the writers took a simple concept and turned it into a masterpiece. Awesome to see that it also has real mainstream appeal, and isn't just considered junk art like many games are prone to being labeled. Going to watch more of your videos now, thanks for an awesome introduction to your channel.
Finally, a game series I actually know about.

Finally something I can be big brain about.
16:57 key point here - this is the "divergence point" for the alternate history of the Fallout universe. America started using atomic energy in everything rather than shying away, and in doing so also ended up passing over microcomputers. (And technically transistors) Around our time (2022) American society was still mostly a fifties dixieland style culture, and uses fission and even fusion power, they have powerful machines, but any "computers" they have are primitive, clunky machines still using vacuum tubes and punch cards. For complex tasks, in lieu of microcomputers, they use transplanted human brains (mostly from death row convicts)
You'll be SO HAPPY to know there's actually a Fallout TV show coming out from the people who made West World. Can't wait for non-gamers to enjoy a series I love.

@@bipstymcbipste5641 People are allowed to criticise things, and for criticism to be constructive it needs to suggest changes. Ultimately game production is a business with the goal of making money for investors. If there is enough of a market for the problematic stuff you like, it will be made; if there is more profit to be made doing something else, companies will do that instead.
Making a product that appeals to a broader range of customers is generally a more attractive prospect than targeting a specific niche, though, particularly as your production budget rises. Plus many developers get bored retreading the same ground over and over again, and like to change things up. Tastes and fashions in the industry change and always have; gatekeeping and playing “no true Scotsman” aren’t going to prevent that and only serve to reflect badly on the person doing it.

I love your reactions to these intros!
It really is sad that even though games can have such fantastic story telling moments but people just think of gamers as you said, "dudes with a pizza stain on their shirt" or violent psychopaths.
If you ever wanted to play a game in the series, Fallout: New Vegas would be the best from a story perspective since it touches on a lot of very interesting ethical concepts.
Also I would love to see a reaction to he first 15/20 minutes of fallout 4 because right after that intro cinematic you have a gameplay section that is also really emotional too!
Ain't that a kick in the head...
😬😬😬
@@HannaHsOverInvested I really appreciate that you're giving the Fallout universe a look -- thanks for indulging us. I've got to say, Fallout: New Vegas probably has the best writing and dialogue in the series. If ever you were to start Let's Plays, I would recommend that one ;)
Truth is... The game was rigged from the start.
The chronological or release order doesn't really matter because most of the games are independent stories with at most a reference or recurring character here and there. I think just Fallout and Fallout 2 are sequels. Most games take place in different parts of the US so that also makes them very disconnected in most cases. But yeah, you're not getting more from these things because these are just the intros to the games. So once they end the game starts. But I imagine there are videos on youtube that explain the stories of these games (and others as well) for you if you don't plan on playing them.
Thanks for the info!
Well, in Fallout 2 you play the descendant of your character from Fallout, and their sequel is New Vegas ( you may or may not have saved the first NCR president in Fallout and helped create it in Fallout 2 ). Events from 1 & 2 are referenced also in 3 & 4, as well as events from 3 and New Vegas in 4 so they are all interconnected.
@@Akredi Sure, but for the story of those games it really doesn't matter. As I said, there are some references here and there but the stories are very stand alone. You don't need to play any of these games to understand what is happening in one of them. You would just miss a reference or two.
In Fallout 3 there is a foul mouthed kid who threatens to kill your character..his name is MacCready
In Fallout 4 there is a grown man who can become your follower if you treat him right..his name is MacCready
Same guy..
Fallout 1, 2, tactics (semi cannon) and New Vegas considered connected. 3, 4 and 76 are not and just exist with fallout on the cover. It may seen I'm not a fan of 3, 4 or 76 but on the contrary I enjoy them alot it's just they don't fallow the the legacy of the first 4. There is fallout brotherhood of steel but mostly considered an abomination.
Oh god i feel so bad at laughing at your reaction when annexation of Canada is mentioned but i still cant stop it
I think the world of Fallout is super interesting, especially in New Vegas where there's a political aspect to it. If I were to write fanfiction it'd probably be Fallout fanfiction.
All of the fallout games are political it’s just that New Vegas has the best writing
This video was so good, definitely going to check out more of your videos! The timeline of the ALL the games with release dates goes as follows (note that a few of these games are now considered non-canon):
*Bombs drop in 2077*
Fallout (1997) takes place in 2161
Fallout Tactics (2001) takes place in 2197
Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel (2004) takes place in 2208. This game really sucks. Lol.
Fallout 2 (1998) takes place in 2241
Fallout 3 (2008) takes place in 2277
Fallout: New Vegas (2010) takes place in 2281
Fallout 4 (2015) takes place in 2287
And that's all the games! I would definitely recommend watching the trailers for Fallout 2 and 3, and maybe some of the other trailers for Fallout New Vegas and Fallout 4. I really love the launch trailer for Fallout 4, it's one of my favorites.
Check some videos out about the lore of the vaults. Most vaults made by Vault-Tec were actually made to run experiments on their inhabitants with little concern for the people inside. Some are super messed up.
in fallout new vegas, you get your brains blown, a robot digs you out of your unmarked grave and a ex vault dweller doctor fixes your head... and then you are tossed into a irradiated dessert to hunt down the man who shooted at you
8:50 okay that was fucking funny. Hard agree though. Gaming is insanely demonised for what is really just an interactive medium of entertainment. It has advantaged and disadvantages over other forms of media, as all have.
It even goes on well before computer games were fully popular too. TTRPG's (Tabletop RPGs) aka Pen and Paper RPGS, the precursor to video games, some might argue, were also demonised. Hell, Dungeons and Dragons was thought to be satanic in the eighties just because it drew from various religions and mythologies, so had statblocks and lore for all sorts of demons, devils and fiends, alongside gods, angels and demigods. Classically, that whole debacle was known as the Satanic Panic.
Ah yes, bard please summon SATAN
@@ethanbolger6690 lmao people thinking the Monster Manual is some kind of devil summoning ritual book, and the Dungeon Masters Guide is CLEARLY how to set up and influence a cult who hang on every word you say, and ensures you have authority ove- hol up a minute... Maybe I AM a cult leader...
I need better cultists wtf. All they do is solve crime and, paradoxically, steal fresh pies from windowsills.
As a dude who played those games in the 80's, yep...😉
"Everyone who can vote, should vote." That's the moment that you secured my like.
Fallout 1 and 2 were top down isometric games (no actual game play was shown in the Fallout 1 trailer, just some cut scene stuff). Then Fallout Vegas came which was first person. From there all have been first person (3, 4 and the online mmo 76). In 2 and 3 even if you were looking down your gun sights mid target it made an attack roll off screen for a hit. Starting in 4 if the computer detects you are aiming in the right place (hit scan) you get the hit rather than whatever value your gun skills would provide. Something called V.A.T.S. can be activated that still gives you a percent chance to hit. All of them take place after the Great War of 2077, In most of them you are a Vault Dweller coming to the surface (New Vegas being the main exception). In some the war was only 20 to 40 years ago, in others it was more than 100 years ago (You were cryo-frozen in FO 4 for example). They all share the same world design and many things like the Mister Handy robots, Nuka-Cola, and power armor crop up in all the games. [Might not be a Mister Handy in New Vegas - there are robots but of a different design). Oh yeah - no movie but there is supposed to be a Fallout series in the works for a streaming service. Plus there are many Fallout fan films on You Tube.
just to clarify one detail. FO3 came before New Vegas. New Vegas is practically an expansion with a new zone and story for FO3. Some mechanics are also different, but it's otherwise the same game, but with a better story and a different protagonist. Although it's kind of on the rails since trying to step away from the predetermined path will usually get you jumped by packs of Deathclaws and/or swarmed by Cazadors long before you're capable of dealing with one of either species.
All of that is correct except for 3 and New Vegas being in first person. You can also play it in third person
"I couldn't name a single Video Game Awards thing"
Congratulations, you inadvertently did lmfao. The VGAs are one of my favorite times of the year actually.
Wait, I just looked it up and apparently it's just The Game Awards. When did that happen? I could've sworn it was always called the VGAs...
They used to be called the VGAs when Spike TV was in charge of them. Once they became their own entity, they changed their name.
I highly recommend checking out Wow Such Gaming's "Why You Wouldn't Survive" series. His episode on Wolfenstein's German Army is my favorite.
Thanks!
When the camera zoomed out u can actually hear the tv saying something about this car that I can’t here with the music
They're actually currently in the making of Fallout tv series. I'm excited for it cuz the lore which taking different timeline after ww2 is really interesting.
I love how talked about how good game stories can be because Fallout New Vegas has one of the best stories known to man.
First of all, glad you reached to Fallout one of my most favorite games!
Second, I hope you can react to *Beejie Bean's L4D2 series!* which was based on the game "L4D2" which was created by the same creators of TF2 (Valve).
All I'll say is that it takes place in zombie apocalypse and you follow 4 survivors who are immune to the infection.
The characters are so interesting and the story is just phenomenal!
Here's the link to the playlist:

"Does it change?" lmao. You got me with that. I've been replaying New Vegas lately, just a masterpiece of a game. Thanks for the reaction
You're welcome?
@@HannaHsOverInvested Am I tho? Am I welcome in your comments section? Because I think that's debatable! Humph
@@BreathOfNaamah 😂😂😂 I think the question mark was a typo.
@@HannaHsOverInvested Mhmmm. Suuureee. LOL
16:16
Short answer: No.
Not so short answer: Yes, but if it's a unavoidable war that also means the country you rule will not resist. And that in the end might make the ruler into a war criminal in the history books.
But that adds "ifs" and "mights" to the answer.
PS: I recommend a video with the initial gameplay moments of Fallout 4!
5:17 fun fact, the 2 hour war that ended America in the Fallout universe was originally called World War 3! It’s now called The Great War, however
I’ll tell you a quick little story and then my opinion on the fallout franchise.
(Post typing all this out me here, sorry for the chapter I just typed out.)
I have younger parents then most, I’m 20 my parents are both in their early 40s, and my pops grew up playing these games when he was a kid. As I got older and started to watch my dad play these games and newer ones, I became completely and utterly infatuated with them. Fallout New Vegas, the one where you get shot in the head (twice), is hands down my favorite game of all time and most likely will always be. And I’ll never forget the Saturday mornings with my dad waiting for me and my brother in the living room waiting to play Fallout. In a few years, my own son is going to be old enough to play these games with me and I honestly cannot wait to share that with him.
(My opinion on Fallout): So the first couple of fallout games were made by a studio called Interplay. They made their stories very enjoyable and non linear, from character customization to the choices you make in the world. They eventually sold the IP of fallout to Bethesda who got to work making their own fallout game in a more modern engine. Which is where we got the pile of poo that is Fallout 3. Very linear, one track, story that honestly I’ve never been able to finish myself, had to read about it because playing it put me to sleep. Bethesda tried to mainstream the game from being this epic dystopian fantasy world where your choices have an effect on the world around you into one of the mindless shooters that people garble up like candy these days.
Fallout new Vegas was outsourced by Bethesda to a company call Obsidian entertainment, which had a lot of people working there that worked for interplay before the company crashed (I think, correct me if I’m wrong). Bethesda said, make us another fallout game and make it good, by the way, you have 18 months to do it, good luck ✌🏼. In 18 MONTHS, they gave us the gem that is Fallout New Vegas, with a gripping story, interesting characters, and a literally butt ton of side quests to get lost in the sauce with. There are a million things I could rattle off about but there’s at least 20 videos on RUclips explaining what I just typed out.
If you read this far, you must be wishing for a nuclear winter, huh?
Wow, your parents are my age or possibly younger 😆 My 14 year old loves watching me play FO games, but she doesn’t want to play them herself for some reason. She has a new game-worthy pc, I’ve offered to buy the games for her, and I’d help her out with mods. 🤷🏼♀️
the trailer for the first Fallout is one of the darkest trailers i’ve ever seen for a video game. It’s so gritty and gives me a weird feeling i can’t quite explain.
I'd really love to tell you about the Vaults but don't want to spoil much. I highly recommend Oxhorns "The Full Story of Vault 11" to get a feel for how the Vaults were not all they seemed, and how Vault Tec isn't some Miracle Corp, but in fact a bunch of scientists with a knack for experimentation and a will to further science, even if at the detriment to human life
......
but in fact the US Government sponsoring a bunch of Scientists to study a lot of different tests about what happens to humans who experience extreme long term confinement and isolation in preparation for abandoning the planet and going somewhere else to get away from those damned Commies, Poor people, and Minorities.
Ahh, Fallout New Vegas. The only fallout game that I am aware of that starts by blasting you into oblivion before you even start the game.
I think one of the biggest reasons that "gamers" image hasn't changed much from the sweaty neck beard in his moms basement is for two big reasons. One is that we don't care that much about the perception of the people who don't participate in our hobby, as long as they don't try to tell us that what we do is hurting others or is morally reprehensible. Two, I think that the major media companies that used to dominate entertainment continue the trope on purpose because they are losing to video games as a medium to make a profit, and they don't understand how to appeal to a group of people that don't put up with bullshit from the people selling them their entertainment as much as others do. If a game is bad or does something we hate, WE'LL TELL YOU. Companies don't like that, they want people to consume and shut up. So they would rather have people be peer pressured in to not trying those mediums of art so they can keep the bottom line.
And the third reason is that there is a very large percentage of the gamer base that lives up to the stereotype with gusto and who actively drag the entire community down.
@@frieza65 I don't think it's very large, I think there are a lot of people out there ready to play the role to get reactions, but the actual nasties out there aren't really that high in number.
@@frieza65 No, the extreme is never that high. People just like to point and say "See? Gamers lol"
17:16 "We went to sleep with the American Dream and woke up in Nightmarica." - Dax and Tom MacDonald
Honestly the Fallout 1 trailer is a great way to set up the tone in the series, showing a propaganda video about the US military committing war crimes on civilians in a new colony (Canada), only for said soldiers to LAUGH and wave at the camera as if nothing is wrong.
Like, damn, that's some cool ass satire of American Jingoism, would love for Todd Howard to have understood any of that.
"Is it possible not to be a war criminal" - yes.
I will state this for absolute clarity gatekeeping people from entering a hobby is wrong.
GATEKEEPING people who don’t even want to be apart of your hobby and just want to change it to suit whatever “morale” or “political” values they hold is absolutely correct no matter who they are or what values they hold
also most if not all gaming award venues suck
11:24 | "YOOO CONTINUITY !" That was a really cool reaction lmao
Haha thanks!
Also react to more Fallout Trailers, Please.
noted! Thanks!
In Fallout New Vegas, you recover from your case of shotintheheaditis (actual medical term, a doctor says it) and proceed to chase the man in the checkered outfit all across to mojave desert to New Vegas where the plot thickens... alot. Then you are thrust on the path of deciding who lives and who dies in the upcoming second battle over Hoover Dam. And yes, there must be a battle between these warring factions, because it's war. And war never changes.
Best Quote to come out of a fallout DLC is "Take Drugs Kill A Bear" this occurs in fallout new vegas during the DLC: Honest Hearts, if you take the wild wasteland perk at the beginning of the game which causes lots of random and silly occurrences to happen.
14:31 “Because the House always Wins”* if only you knew how cool things could be
10:00 Kind of connected :) The devs from FO1 and FO2 are now Obsidian Entertaiment (back then "Black Isle Studio") and in Fallout New Vegas many ideas and stories came from the cancelled Interplay-FO3 :) (That's why FONV is a Fan-Fav among the Fallout Games)
Ahh the heady days of fallout new vegas where the worst thing you had gone through in the opening scenes of a fallout game was being shot in the face
Holy shit! I've read your books. I found you on RUclips just randomly tho. Great books, good video. Keep up the good work!
8:50 looks down at the pizza stain on my shirt. well damn you got me, lol
The slow zoom out of tv screens to reveal the wasteland was and still is sheer brilliance.
Fallout 2 has the best opening. "An atomic spark struck by human hands quickly rage out of control . Spears of nuclear fire rained from the skies. Continents were swallowed in flames and fell beneath the boiling oceans. Humanity was almost extinguished, their spirits becoming part of the background radiation that blanketed the earth."
“The Fallout Las Vegas intro”
Balls dropped lmao
WOW! I've play fallout ALOT, but never thought to watch all the intros back to back. The Story as a whole is RICH in humanity with eerie parallels to today. I would HIGHLY suggest watching all the intros for all 5 games in chrono along with the first 5 to ten minutes pass the intro! (new vegas is a WILD story!). This video has definitely prompted me to shared this lore with friends who are unfamiliar. Thanks Hannah for sharing your unfiltered perspective!
“Is there sound in 1997?” I can’t breathe 💀💀
😂😂
I enjoyed this video and I'm glad you liked the Fallout trailer. To fully discuss the links between the various fallout games, I might get into the weeds a bit about development history. So I'm not going to do that. I will say that Fallout 2 is a direct sequel to Fallout and the Player-Character in Fallout 2 (the Chosen One) is a descendent of the Player-Character in Fallout (the Vault Dweller) and the connections to the other games are not as direct in terms of story. They're all basically set in the same world, though. The thing about all those introduction videos is that they set the stage for where the Player starts the game and the story of the game itself unfolds afterwards. In Fallout, you start out exiting from Vault 13 and your character knows literally nothing about the outside world. In Fallout: New Vegas, your character wakes up in a doctor's house having just been treated for a head injury (and suffering brain-trauma-related amnesia). In Fallout 4, you start out at home just before the 'Great War' mentioned in the background for all other other Fallout games - then the bombs drop. So, that's different. To my knowledge, Fallout 4 doesn't have any direct story connection to the other Fallout games, aside from happening in the same world - well, the Brotherhood of Steel chapter from Fallout 3 re-locates to the Commonwealth fairly early-on in Fallout 4 and if the player wants to there's the option to team up with them. Additionally, there are some offhand mentions of events from Fallout Tactics made by some NPCs in Fallout 4 - which is interesting because Fallout Tactics was made officially non-canon when Fallout 3 was released. Of the later Fallout games, Fallout: New Vegas has the most connection to the story of Fallout and Fallout 2.
Side-notes:
1) Your pre-conceived notion of a "gamer" was a surprisingly close fit for me for about a decade (from the early 1990s to the early 2000s). I'm not as skinny as I used to be. No I don't feel attacked, though I am tempted to pontificate for a while about 'gamers and the games they play.' There are reasons that stereotype exists, though I'd been thinking it had mostly faded away over the past decade.
2) Amusingly, the first time I played Fallout 4 I randomly ran across a postal-worker's uniform in one of the first few abandoned buildings I explored. I immediately thought of "The Postman" and had my character put on the uniform before heading on to the next town. That was a complete coincidence, though. It was a randomly-spawned item from the game's "loot" tables.
3) Release-order of the games in the Fallout franchise: Fallout (1997), Fallout 2 (1998), Fallout: Tactics (2001), Fallout 3 (2008), Fallout: New Vegas (2010), Fallout 4 (2015), Fallout: 76 (2018).
4) Fallout & Fallout 2 have the same game engine and are old-fashioned computer RPGs with an isometric view from above. Fallout 3 and later have a first-person perspective*, with game engines derived from Bethesda's Elder Scrolls series of games; therefore I consider them to be shooters with strong role-playing elements rather than true CRPGs. Many people find the first-person view more "immersive." I am not one of those people.
* You can optionally switch to a third-person over-the-shoulder perspective. I prefer this mode, but it throws off the aim of your weapons and for some difficult combats I find I have to switch back to first-person to aim properly.
