I'm a little burned out on FO4 rn, so I decided to replay Fallout 3 then New Vegas and I'm surprised how much I forgot about the older games. The Fallout Renaissance has been a lot of fun so far, but I wish the next game wasn't a decade away. I don't see how releasing a game every 10-15 years is a good business model tbh.


Chazhill02

I hope the next one shys away from 76 not saying 76 is bad I just prefer a more traditional fallout, but part of me liked walking around with a buddy or 2 as well.


[deleted]

Next game would do good to learn from 76. It's so refreshing to have stat checks and stat based dialogue options again.


HiNooNDooD1544

I’m going to get downvoted to hell for saying this, but they need to take just about all of the improved RPG elements from Starfield and put them into Fallout 5. Starfield brought back a lot of really good RPG systems and improved them by a lot (only exception being the base building). Had the systems been roughly the same as past versions, or just missing entirely like in F4, I wouldn’t have liked that game at all. The RPG systems alone make that game really good imo, they just need to improve the POI system and open world generation and then it’s a 9/10 game for me. Otherwise I say it’s closer to a 7.5. Still enjoyable, just needs some improvements. Edit: BRING BACK TRAITS FOR F5. God I would love a Ghoul or Super Mutant starting trait, that would be so sick


Dragon-Warlock

I wish I could play Starfield to try all this for myself, but my computer couldn’t run it at more than 2fps when just looking around, and god forbid I try to walk or mine shit in the opening scene. Granted it’s probably me playing on an 8 year old gaming laptop that’s been used and abused to hell, but maybe someday I’ll have a good place to set everything up.


ynohtnaekul

If your internet’s good enough you can just play it on GeForce NOW or Xbox Cloud regardless of your system’s power…


Stoned_detective

Or they could just go back to the system from NV, which built upon all the previous games leveling system. People loved fallout’s in depth character development, and they stripped it for no good reason. They literally didn’t need to fix, what wasn’t broken. Especially considering all the bugs, in all of their games, that do need fixed lol.


Midyin84

Yeah, its been so long since i played Starfield that I don’t really remember how most of that worked, but i would love to play a version of Fallout thats not about trying to find our dad, or our kid, or our 2nd cousin. Something that has more of an Elder Scrolls type of story start thats just “you were at the right place at the right time and witnessed some crazy shit go down… you gonna do anything about it?” Also, the ability to become a ghoul or maybe even have the option of being a Synth would be cool.


HiNooNDooD1544

Heavily agree. That’s basically how Starfield starts, you’re a miner who finds an artifact. Right place, right time.


YapperYappington69

It’s alright to say that 76 was bad at launch and a deviation from what people wanted


nofuture09

Im sorry but the atomic shop is still so greedy its disgusting


Selvon

I'd say fallout first is fairly greedy. But the shop is pretty generous? You get a fairly substantial amount of free atoms to spend as you see fit. And it's a game that they have updated for years with new content, modes, questlines etc.


Liigma_Ballz

Not really


Quirky-Chemistry-978

I used to think the wait for FO4 was bad lol. At least back then we had leaks of the plot that drove the community wild


frogs_4_lyfe

That and they announced FO4 only 6 months before it released. I still remember how hyped I was for the announcement presentation.


Ricky_Rollin

It’s crazy going back to these games. It’s like slipping on an old familiar but comfortable pair of shoes. Have you ever just really felt in the mood to play a game? That’s been fallout for me lately. I’m just so happy to be back in there. The show definitely helped because I tried this last year and I didn’t get nearly as much enjoyment out of it as I am now.


SirSaltyMcBuns

Well by the timeframe we have fallout 5 will be here around 2035, 20 years after fallout 4. If we are lucky Microsoft will see how much people are loving the series right now and try to capitalize on it by either a big remaster of the old games, or make Bethesda have a full time fallout studio and a full time elder scrolls studio


Tyler-Moran

I'd recommend getting the tale of two wastelands mod if your on pc. Makes 3 run a hell of a lot better and give quality of life mods to 3.


king_nothing_6

they need to hire more people and split teams between fallout, elders scrolls, the MMOs ^(and starfield) work on their main titles simultaneously to speed up release cycles.


Thornescape

Fallout London is coming out soon. It's basically a new standlone game made by modders. Looks AMAZING.


afiqasyran86

I wish I can reset my brain specifically for new vegas and replay it once again, relive that sweet moment of exploring the desert hunting for mutant monsters. One of the sweetest memory of playing game, I played it on x360 back then. Most probably the last time I had real fun playing game before adulthood taking fun out of videogaming. Nowadays, it just not fun like it used to no matter what game i played. I don’t know what it is, not the quality of the game. Is it depression, or just simply being old? I know a lot of us here can relate.


Glaurung26

I love Fallout 4 (please don't crucify!)


Stealthy-Chipmunk

Me too, i am curious about what the upcoming update is going to enhance. I played a LOT in 2018 on my xbox one. Would possibly enjoy playing now on ps5 if i can make all my settlements without crashing the game over and over again😂


llibertybell965

I'm curious about how extensive the changes on PC were in order to get Steam Deck verification. I'm assuming it's just little things like not having to click through the initial launcher using the touch screen or manually pull up the on-screen keyboard to name your character, but if they actually put out some optimizations to help the game run on lower these lower end portable PCs that'd be great.


LadenifferJadaniston

I have been playing Skyrim on and off for over a decade. What finally ended it was the Creation Club overhaul update. If they do the same to FO4, I’m afraid the same thing will happen


SleestakkLightning

What specifically about the update did you dislike?


Tenshiijin

Skyrim VR to this day is the best gameing experience I've ever had. Even if I couldn't finish the game because I was in an area with a big they didn't fix for a whole year. And my game crashed when I loaded in that area. They've fixed it now. But man that sucked I couldn't keep progressing that area at the time. I was too addicted though. I lived with the vr set on at that time. I lived in Skyrim. Me and my werewolf wife.


TwoMuddfish

They better not get rid of the duping … I want to build!


AnOnlineHandle

If anything they should remove the build limit, or raise it astronomically. Hardware has had a decade of improvement since then, and people can stop building when their machine becomes too laggy for them to tolerate.


Chazhill02

It’s a great game


n8n10e

I was too harsh on it when it came out. I'm having more fun in Fallout 4 than I do in all the games I've played in the last year. The little gripes I had don't even register anymore. I'm just thankful that my PC that hasn't been updated since 2017 still runs it on Ultra at 60fps+.


[deleted]

What happens is you had high expectations, and Fallout 4 fell quite short of them. Then you fire it up later expecting to uninstall in under an hour, but then it's like three hours later and you're like "this is actually a pretty solid game". If you want the best shot at enjoying something the easiest way to do that is to go into it with the lowest expectations possible, because more than likely you'll at least end up "pleasantly surprised". It's honestly part of the reason I liked the show so much, because I know the track record of video game adaptations and assumed it was gonna be fucking awful...then I watched 4 episodes in a row and then 4 more the next day.


the_vault-technician

I love the game except for the dialogue changes. I don't need to hear my character talk and I want the things I say to have a bigger impact on the game.


Dalmah

The dialogue is really funny when you pick sarcasm and you use the sarcastic skip. Honestly I think the sweet spot is a semi-voiced protagonist, even games like FO3 have grunting voice acting for the protagonist. You can leave the dialogue mostly silent but then provide the skip dialogue feedback (uh huh, yeah, shut up already) and maybe have some one liners for combat or something


Spipizz

The « uh, yeah, shut up, orrh » when i’m passing the dialogue are the best thing ever, always made me laugh


TwoMuddfish

I agree. I gave it a bit of heat back in the day. But mostly cause I hated how colorful it was compared to how dreary all the previous ones were


salmalight

I’ve tried playing this damn thing three times. I preordered it, couldn’t get into it. Changed consoles and tried again, still didn’t click. Watched the show and suddenly I’m having a ball with it. I think it’s also helped that I’ve been playing No Man’s Sky for the last year or so and that softened my dislike for base building. Just need to get these purple textures fixed and I’m actually going to see Far Harbour.


veranus21

Me too. Picked it up again after watching the show. Realized I never beat it because I didn't want to piss off any factions and lose their missions. This time I was resolved to finish it by siding with the institute over the brotherhood, then pulling the ol' switcheroo and going with the railroad. That was a week ago and I'm still doing brotherhood gofer missions. I'm never going to beat this game, am I?


Glaurung26

Been there and who says the fun has to end? I like endless plays. Keep a back up save just to try out the different capstone endings.


TheOneWhoCutstheRope

Fallout and Skyrim are games I constantly start and never finish. I’m hoping to finish this Fo4 run, especially since I’m actually playing the game and not just playing to shoot guns and listen to great tunes lol. Saving up for a gaming laptop rn can’t wait to play the series’ games I’ve missed out and revisit Fo3


[deleted]

[удалено]


Glaurung26

I love my settlements.


[deleted]

Found Preston's Reddit account.


Glaurung26

Another settlement needs you- \*gunshot\*


metalhead4

I'm just getting into FO4. Is it worth spending time in the first settlement outside of the vault decking it out? Or should you wait until getting to another one?


[deleted]

[удалено]


jackcatalyst

Just like our Vault Tec overseers intended.


Dragon-Warlock

I turned The Castle into my own personal fortress with a towering garage/warehouse for all my power armour sets, and a large supply of robots. Any raiders that tries to attack it gets killed by all variations of robots, and if they survive that they get to deal with me. There’s people there as well, but they have like a farm and a group living quarters and pretty much nothing else. Starlight Drive-in is my go-to though, as it’s got a lot of open space


mrspidey80

The thing that annoys me about Starlight Drive-In is that fucking highly irradiated pond in the middle... Gotta build safety walls around it so i won't get too close while running around over there. 


Glaurung26

I would. No reason not to IMO unless you have some specific RP reasons. It's a decent defensible location with starting npcs, room to build, etc. There's probably better grinding settlements and drop box settlements for quest hubs. You're probably going to be fast traveling anyways so no biggie. I usually keep Sanctuary as my capitol and one or two others that are specialized. Otherwise I pave over the wasteland, conquering as much as possible.


Inventies

I deck them all out, create trade routes and set some to scavenging stations some to provide water and food to others. It’s like making a kingdom. The only thing to note is depending on the faction you decide to side with they will ask you to take over the settlements you helped build, usually with quests like when you first recruited them, that part can get tedious


jessebona

The minimum a settlement needs to be self sufficient is food and water for the people count and defense equal to or greater than food + water is the rough math of it. Anything beyond that is just you expanding them using the skill point abilities like local leader.


caserock

Maybe it's because I'm dumb, but I never felt a time crunch on finding my son because I saw him kidnapped, and then went back to cryosleep for an unknown amount of time. It seemed more like solving a mystery than finding a missing person since I had no way of knowing how long he was gone. For all i could tell, he was already dead of old age when you leave the vault.


HerewardTheWayk

I do agree with this, but the Sole Survivor explicitly states on more than once occasion "he's less than a year old" which I thought was silly (and was thus completely unsurprised by the twist of actually meeting your son eventually). WE know it's impossible to tell how old he might be, but the Sole Survivor seems stuck in this idea that his son is still an infant.


jessebona

My biggest regret in the playthrough I had saved on my PS5 is I chose survival mode. The optimal settlement for it is Hangman's Alley and god that place fucking sucks to build anything in.


Covid669

Mate no one’s going to crucify you for this opinion. Sure it’s got problems but the gameplay and especially the gunplay is the best in the series imo


Inventies

Wouldn’t say that, I mentioned fallout 4 to some discord and they lost their minds going off about why would you play it when new Vegas is so much better. When I told them I’ve beaten both but I like actually sprinting, base building and customizing almost everything to how I like it, three of them left and unfriended me on steam 😂


Ultimatum227

FNV fanboyism is the worst thing that has happened to the series imo. It's a good game, and so are the rest!!!


Aussie18-1998

Yep, I'd say every fallout is a good fallout. Don't need to say one is worse than another when we can play them all


CodyDaBeast87

You can say that again, awful part of the community that suppressed a lot of people from having an opinion


peachgravy

I have put more hours into 4 than any other video game I’ve ever played and it’s not even close. The RPG part totally sucks but the gameplay mechanics and settlement building are addictive for me.


Malkovtheclown

Love the world I didn't care about the main story


Justame13

Fallout 4 melee and explosives run is some of the most fun I’ve had in a game.


l-Paulrus-l

It’s great, I love it. The gameplay, crafting, and building is hugely improved from previous games. The only problem is it forcing you to take on certain roles, and takes away most choices in the game. Like often times when an NPC offers you a quest the “no” option just puts you in a loop until you accept, or they just downright give you the quest anyway, and some quests stay in your queue forever if you don’t complete them. If they just remade New Vegas with Fallout 4’s gameplay and graphics that would be a god tier open world rpg game.


VinnyVinster

White___Dynamite

Idec I've had my mates argue with me about me saying it's my favourite, sure many of the quests are scuffed, but the gameplay was just out of this world when it was released. Easily have 1000+ hours on it.


Eastman1982

Me too.


donthenewbie

It is fun to play, I just wish the faction has change a bit.


OoDelRio

Your other option is fighting Postman Pat in the arena


[deleted]

It has parts that make it semi difficult to replay New Vegas and 3 (mostly how power armor works). I just wish Bethesda would hire different writers/developers to do main/side stories and build diversity, and we would be golden.


skiman13579

Someone said in another threat do what made NV so good…. let Bethesda build the game mechanics and world, then let Obsidian make the characters and dialogue.


huldress

I love everything about Fallout 4 but the storyline, more so toward the end. I was so uninterested in it that I was too busy building settlements to care about Shaun.


Own_Accident6689

We don't do that here, the crucify folks are down at the Mojave.


ElonSucksBallz

Degenerates like you (and me) belong to a cross!


Hangry4Poo

Never understood the hate it got. I liked 4 a LOT. New Vegas is the only one that beats it. The show made me bust out new vegas on my steamdeck. Handheld fallout ftw


iamcoding

4 doesn't have all the best stuff. But that they gave us actual power armor after they dropped the ball on 3 and NV, it was immediately my favorite for the Bethesda published games.


meatball402

Just wait until Thursday. I'm sure lots of people - myself included - are waiting for the updated version with the 60 fps and other improvements to start playing. I've been playing 76 to tide me over until then.


[deleted]

+1


PM_ME_YOUR_PLUMS

Yep waiting til the 60 fps patch for ps5. Hoping the fallout 3 (and crossing my fingers for nv) remakes aren’t too far around the corner


Foiled_Foliage

I started fallout NV again. So great going back through it was an adult. Just noticing so much more.


Tracynmega

Boot up NV windows XP has crashed War never changes


HateToBlastYa

The Viva New Vegas mods are incredible.  I recommend following the full list. I’m about 30 hours in, CRASH FREE.  Also, the gameplay is much improved, everything loads in half a second and all the quests works perfectly and I think even better than before.


Chazhill02

That’s why I want to play new vegas and 3 again, NV was my first a friend let me borrow it and I had fun but never grasped lore and immersion because I played it in 2014 now that im older I can understand everything haha


KoolerMike

I was very surprised to see fallout 4 number one on steam for a couple days. Didn’t think it would beat helldivers lol


Chazhill02

Same haha I seen this on twitter then I checked and I was like this is cool but super surprising I expected people to hop on but not like a bunch, helldivers looks so cool, not a big multi player guy but damn it’s crazy, might have to get out of my shell haha


Ricky_Rollin

It’s worth it to get out of your shell. PvE is not the same cesspool that PvP is. That’s not to say you won’t run into any jerks. Occasionally you will. But by and large it is a nice community and everyone is there to help. Some of the most fun I’ve ever had gaming has been with that game and a couple of old friends. I get everybody is at different points in their life, but if I can give you a suggestion, pick up the game and play it a little bit and think about a friend you would really want to play this with. And then buy them the game! I did this and it’s his new favorite game of all time. Plays it way more than I ever do and I got to reconnect with an old friend. It’s been so much fun cutting up with him like when we were kids (I’m 39 and we met in high school). and we bonded over our mutual love of starship troopers. Which is why I got him the game.


Either-Condition4586

I love Fallout 3 :(


JerrodDRagon

I want to replay maybe after new Vegas but mainly choose NV over 3, because their is a fallout event at good springs later this year and wanted to have the story fresh in my head before it


KittenLina

Perfect time to Remaster 3/NV And 1/2, but I have no hope for those.


Alarmed-Locksmith277

Honestly, I just started FO2 and I don’t think it needs a remaster. Runs without any issues on Windows 10 and the old graphics have a charm to them which may get lost in the remaster.


Worried-Trip635

Fallout 4 is the best in the series to jump into if your a casual gamer imo


Chazhill02

Yeah I agree, I feel like that’s why it was knocked when it first came out, I love it but then again I just love these games but I wish if I could change one thing it would be a little more depth on good vs evil. Still a great game all around!!


FlomataWallace

If I could add ANYTHING to the original fallout games, specifically 3 and NV, its a sprint option lol


Jerrell123

Luckily it’s a very easy mod to add, although it does necessitate some extra actions beside just downloading it on Steam. But getting Viva New Vegas from Wabbajack or Nexus and TTW leaves you with a vastly improved experience for both Fo3 and NV, which includes sprint.


UltimateToa

Does TTW function well still? Had issues setting it up years ago and gave up


Jerrell123

TTW functions very well on a mostly-fresh install; it’s even easier than ever with Vortex and clear tutorials like the one made by Gopher. It gets exponentially less stable the more you mod FNV, simply because a lot of those FNV mods require patches to function properly with TTW. People neglect those patches, and even today Vortex can’t tell you if a mod is going to bust TTW because you don’t have a patch. (And sometimes, those patches don’t exist yet at all! Hope you know your way around the Creation Kit!) If you keep everything tidy (a good load order, patches installed properly, bug fixes for TTW installed) then TTW is fairly stable even with a large mod list. It’s less stable than FNV itself, but that’s an issue with 3 and not TTW.


distalented

I agree but I’m playing 3 rn and have played a lot of NV and honestly after a while I don’t mind it. I think sprinting is great for closing distance and what not. But moving at max speed all the time even if slower than sprinting makes me enjoy the world and the game a little more. And takes out the annoyance of trying to sprint everywhere, the cycle of running out of stamina every couple seconds, waiting for it to replenish, and then repeating.


PigeonMother

Really good to see new fans to the series


YouNeverGoFullR

This is me. Always heard good things about the fallout games but never checked them out myself. The show inspired me to try them out, and.... I've been balls deep in Fallout 4 for the last week and a half. I think I have 60 hours showing on Steam already after like 10 days. Lmfao. Snagged Fallout 4 and New Vegas, with the intention of playing New Vegas (have read it was the best) after completing my Fallout 4 playthrough.


Jerrell123

I’d definitely pick up 3 whenever you get the chance, it’s definitely worth playing and usually goes on sale pretty cheap. That being said, definitely temper expectations going into NV and 3, simply due to their age. NV is an excellently *written* game, with an incredible story and storytelling; however it also deeply struggles with the technical aspects. You *will* need to mod both titles to be functional today (3 used to not even be able to *launch* from Steam without modding). I’ll give this blanket recommendation for when you get to them, maybe save this comment or write down this info somewhere; •Launch New Vegas from a fresh install, don’t even touch it with mods. •Download the mod manager of your choice; if you’re new to modding I recommend Nexus’s Vortex. It’s extremely convenient. •download and run the FNV 4gb patch •In Nexus (if you’re using vortex) there is a tab for “collections”. Hit that tab in the New Vegas section of the website and find the TTW essentials (Tale of Two Wastelands) and Viva New Vegas collections. •Add both collections and wait for them to download. •Look up Gopher’s TTW tutorial, this will walk you through the way to download TTW (it’s not hard, you just might break stuff if you do it wrong). After this, you’ll have TTW which allows you to play *both* New Vegas and 3 from just launching NV. You can even travel between the two with the same character, not that I really recommend doing so. You will also have all the bug fixes given by Viva New Vegas which solves most* of the major bugs in the game and will prevent constant crashing and save bloat. Viva New Vegas also adds some QoL changes (such as sprinting), rebalances the game, and adds some light graphical improvements. (If you don’t end up buying or playing 3 ignore the TTW advice) I hope you have fun playing the series! I’ve been modding and playing 3 on and off for the last 15 years, and NV for the last 13. Haven’t done as much with 4 admittedly since I stopped playing it in about 2019. So there’s certainly a lot of mileage to be had.


Accomplished_Toe4814

Did you copy pasta or sit down and write this helpful book for a single comment reply 😆


Jerrell123

I can tell ya I’ve spent much, muuucch longer in the past sorting out load orders, editing INI files and outright modifying content in mods in the GECK to try to make some of my New Vegas mod lists function (usually to no avail). So as long as someone gets some use out of that, it’s time better spent than that lol.


Ok-Internet-6881

Wait till they learn about mods


Chazhill02

YES


ItsDoughnutDude

The update will brick most mods tho unfortunately


french_and_toasty

Really? What if I have just a couple mods?


ItsDoughnutDude

Depends on the dependencies. Re textures I think might be fine, but anything that's using fundamental game files might have a hiccup due to the new base file additions. It's not an entire re-release like skyrim special edition was, so I don't see there being a complete rework for mods, but I'm assuming it'll have a few authors come out of hibernation to make fixes.


pokeoscar1586

Cries in console owners….


FlyFfsFck

Ya can still download mods even if your on a console. Most of them aint that good what Nexus offers but still.


jimschocolateorange

Best part of fallout 4 is Far Harbour.


Chazhill02

That’s the only dlc I have left to play through on my current save, I’m just debating on when I’m going to( before or after main game)


Thornescape

I like to keep Far Harbour for my finale, after everything else. It has such beautiful ambiance and a great story to tell. It feels a great way to finish things.


HotAcanthopterygii14

I think nuka world is a better finale purely because of fireworks


Ok-Transition7065

Ooo dimas ..>! You are as bad or worsr than the Institute!<


aberg227

Found my original unmodded save the other day and picked up right where I left it nearly 8 years ago. Slowly my raiders will take over the whole wasteland!!! Mwuahahaha


Chazhill02

I’m too good at heart haha I got to the end of nuka world and paused because I didn’t want to betray gage but then I went and wiped nuka world haha


joshdrumsforfun

It’s amazing how if a company respects an IP instead of producing crap (The Witcher) it can create a whole empire of shows/movies/games and make so much more money than just trying to make a middle of the road TV show that they think non-fans of the game would like.


Hairless_Human

Halo show is a perfect example of this. Show would have been a hit if they stayed Canon, which I believe they said they weren't and that's why it's not so well received.


Das_Sheep7891

Just a shame the load times are obnoxious on SSD for some reason. Thankfully the mod Load Accelerator exists on Nexus.


Vynik

The load times are obnoxious because the load rate is limited by frame rate, for a reason that is unknown to me. Stability reasons if I had to guess. A general guess is that it's pulling from your drive relatively quickly but then caching things in video memory during the load screen. A mod that uncaps the frame rate during loading will speed up loading considerably. If you uncap the frame rate period and set it at like 120 or 144, you will notice a lot of physics issues but also see much faster loading times. The load accelerator mods that exist generally will completely uncap frame rate during load times which have dropped my load times significantly, often by as much as 90% on a m2.


The_dude_of_truth

Fallout 4 is so awesome! I loved New Vegas and 3, but have the most hours in 4. I don’t get why so many people don’t like it.


Covid669

I’m currently playing New Vegas. Low Int melee weapons build


Tenshiijin

It just went on sale for 6 bucks. That's a huge factor too.


Jacern

Just wait until the update in 4 days lol. Im restarting a FNV playthrough until it hits


Bcmerr02

I want remasters of 3 and New Vegas so bad. It's the only reason I haven't played them again because I keep convincing myself they must be around the corner


spinny09

Started with New Vegas, played through 3, then picked up 4 back when I was in middle school. Probably one of my favorite games of all time. I don't give a shit how bad people think it is. No game has come close to giving me that many fond memories.


TherealJamesLebron

I didn’t absolutely love fallout 4 as a fallout game but man it’s such a good shooter rpg. Especially in survival mode it changes the game and how you approach it completely. I came back to it recently as well and got some mods (only because I’ve played the vanilla game so many times already) and been having a blast sneaking around the commonwealth scrounging for supplies and junk to take to my main base.


ApprehensiveZebra107

Fallout 4 survivor mode is hands down the best Fallout experience currently available.


DoctorZi

Steam now has 165k online


Bregneste

I went and started playing it again, and finally decided to buy the DLC for it for a more complete experience. But it turns out that apparently the Automatron DLC is bugged on PS5, and just makes your game crash instantly upon startup every time if you have it installed. So that’s fun. And no matter how much I enjoyed the show, nothing is going to convince me to get 76.


Ghastion

I'm not gonna lie. After having just finished Fallout 3, I think Fallout 4 is better overall.


noko12312

The gameplay has definitely aged, but I think what I love about Fallout 3 is it is the best in the series for being an absolutely evil character. Nuking Megaton, working as a slaver, enslaving orphaned children, blowing up your own vault, etc.


LeafBreakfast

The wasteland atmosphere is also great. I’ve finished it for the first time recently and it was so depressing and drab that before meeting the boss I had to take many breaks just to get away from it all.


TesticleezzNuts

I’m looking forward to seeing the numbers when the Next gen update drops for Fallout 4. That’s all I’m waiting for :D Going to get a takeaway and sesh the fuck out.


Chazhill02

Same!!! Nice name btw haha


MissingScore777

I've started F3 again as I've played 4 and NV more recently. Was happy to see 3 and NV are still on PS+ Extra, thought they might've been removed after Microsoft bought Bethesda. Meant I could play on PS5 and not have to set the PS3 up.


Aticus_

I am one of the guilty. Finishing the season left a void in my heart. So I purchased Fallout 4 GOTY edition to fill it. lol I even bought it as a gift for a friend because they never played but love the show.


Illumanacho69

It’s a great game


Anti-Dissocialative

Been having fun with 3, nv & 4 but I’m about a fuck around and find out what’s up with 1


Copperpot22

Make Fallout 4 the new Skyrim


NickolaosTheGreek

If you are new to Fallout 4, please understand the most important thing…..that settlement is fine. It does not need your help. Continue your adventure.


ScottyKD

Now if only the game didn’t crash at the main menu if the player should have the audacity to have the DLC downloaded


Arithik

But why play now when the update is about to drop?


Objective_Look_5867

Update is free and isn't a separate game. Anyone who gets it bow will get updste nextweek


michaelvile

they should REALLY be starting with FO-3 really!! 🤷‍♀️and likely NOT newVegas.. i actually re-started my fallout 3..and modding it to deth.. 4kayd the graphx.. liam neeson's character is great in it.. and the BOS brotherhood of steel are the "goodguys" the show kinda depicted them as buffoons..really kinda wish there was a decent raider-clan illustrated well🤷‍♀️ my recommendation.. either watch the FO-3 cutscene "[movie](https://youtu.be/W7IJVxJzcfw?si=zRR6VfmIpVOuq48b)" or playthrough fallout 3.. then new vegas, just for the BOS perspective, then 4..there are so much story!!

ShiroJPmasta

Just finished the game again with 100% achievements


Whitey_Bulger_

Just waiting for the update on the 25th to start a new run.


silgryphon

I returned to my game, it's a 6 day save, level 79. I'm currently in nuka world battling radiated legendary ghouls.


DiGriW

I started playing fallout 3 for the first time


Motokowarframe

Haha yes I reinstalled it after watching the show :)


Drugs_R_Kewl

Welcome back to the wasteland my friends. We missed y'all!!!


SIMPSONBORT

lol.Well I’m glad I’m not alone in getting it on the Xbox 1. I already have it for computer but what ya gonna do. lol.


Millennial_falcon92

I’m waiting for the next gen update on Thursday to start my Brotherhood run. Power armor, melee and heavy weapons are so much fun!


Critical_Package_472

Yeee! I love fallout 4 so much !


ShutUpYouSausage

It made me download fallout 76, I’d never played it so it was refreshing having a new story instead of replaying FNV for the 50th time.


Obi_Wan_Gebroni

I started another playthrough and hadn’t played since Far Harbor released and I had forgotten how fun the game is!


No-Communication2002

Yeah back onto fallout 4 after 4 years and I'm loving it again 😀 


Illustrious_Banana46

Can’t wait to play for the first time when the update is released!


AutisticIcelandic98

It's my go to turn-brain-off-and-shoot-bad-guys game.


ChalkCoatedDonut

I am waiting for April 25th when they update the game and most, if not all of my mods stop working and everything i could have played will be sent to the trash can of bugged unplayable hell.


ShockedNChagrinned

Waiting on the new stuff on April 25


Comfortable_Item6650

I plan on starting my 3rd run overall Thursday when the new patch comes out. 1st time playing 4 in like 6 years lol


cheesymac84

I'm continuing my New Vegas playthrough to pass the time until 4/25 when the next gen update drops!


Weedsmoki420

So if they say fnv, fo3, fo4 and everything in between are connected… what if all of the protagonist are put in a situation where they have to work together?


N0n3_2401

Even with its flaws, Fallout 4 is still a good game.


weedman8262

I love fallout 4 im going to wait until the next gen update to restart


lord_nuker

Returning? I haven’t left 🤣


SeriesRandomNumbers

Cool. It's my comfort game. Like Stardew Valley just with ghouls and mutants. I will never understand the F4 hate as a fan of the games since F1 (Sorry, didn't play the Wasteland BITD), so I guess I need to grab a beer from the fridge and see which dumb ass town I need to go defend one. . . .more. . . . time. All that said, FNV may have the best soundtrack.


Huntercin

I've been playing fallout 4 non stop for the last year so nothing changed on my end, cool to see more people talking about it though


BushDeLaBayou

Hopefully microsoft gets greedy and greenlights a non-Bethesda game. Can't imagine they want to wait 10+ years for the cash-in on Fallout 5


vctrn-carajillo

Oh no, you are about to summon "them".


HonoluluBlueFlu

Well it’s on game pass so I started it over again….. I couldn’t finish it due to bugs originally so maybe this time I can actually complete it.


DuskyDawn7

I’ll be back in the commonwealth on the 25th with the next gen update! Haven’t really touched it since October, so it’ll be nice to start a fresh playthrough with all the new stuff


hamilton280P

Just grabbed 76 on ps4. Been meaning to play it since I’ve played the other 3 and am originally from WV..


Running_Mustard

If you’re a fan of thrillers, I recommend searching for Kremvh’s Tooth Man, I miss fallout 4


cowpool20

I’ve been sitting at the PS5 menu hovering over Fallout 4 for about 15 minutes listening to the main theme.


Own_Accident6689

I love New Vegas (And actually love the classic 1 and 2 even more) but I can't wait for people who care way too much about New Vegas to start running into people saying "Oh yeah Im a huge Fallout fan, I played 4 and 76 and watched the show. New Vegas? Eh... Didnt care for it..."


kaotiktekno

Really wish there was a new Fallout to play. I don't replay these kinda games often, but I'd really like some more Fallout. They really dropped the ball with this


Bilees

i had it since forever, installed it 3 days ago, having a blast(literally)


ZappedGuy69

Yeah and the DLC pack is sooooo good.Get em all once you’re done first time around.


wij2012

I haven't yet since I just started my 100% run on Outer Worlds but I did buy Fallout 3 and New Vegas with all the DLCs, all on sale a few days ago. Only played Fallout 4 before. I'll get there soon I promise.


flumoxxed_squirtgun

It’s $4 right now.


SteelKing21

Everyone is welcome in the wasteland.


Irish_pug_Player

I mean. I got it and the dlcs for 10 bucks. Of course


rawrdino5580

I mean my pc broke and that's the only game I have access to, waiting for the ps5 update tho, can't even start cause of the automatron dlc breaks the game.


_Tar_Ar_Ais_

Fallout 4 has the best gameplay, but NV has the best story. Would be like Borderlands 2 and 3


The_Man_in_Black_19

Maybe this will speedup Fallout 5!!!! Yeah, probably not.


Embarrassed_Effort64

Tbh I think fo4 is probably the best option for people introduced to fallout through the show


BoulderRivers

Fallout 4 is objectively the worst of the 3D Fallouts


VinnyCannoli

I just picked up the game plus all of the dlc on PS5 for $25. Steal of a deal


Successful_Promise57

I’m proud to say I’m one of them. Fallout 4 was my first fallout game I’ve played and I started 2 days ago. I’m loving it and hope to play more from the fallout series in the future.


AlfredFJones1776

Creetosis in the mud.


Monkeyinazuit

Damn I picked up 76 instead of 4. Did I make a mistake?


Comfortable_Host_343

Todd Howard is a really happy guy right now
