DSP Plays Fallgout 4

  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.
Because my torment is apparently destined never to end, Phil is trying out that Fallout London mod that came out 2 weeks ago, he needs those day 1 views, he really does.

In honour of ol' Blighty, I'm going to write this recap as offensively English as possible. Right, then, let's be off, pip pip tally-ho and all that rot.

Phil says people have been saying Fallout London is “super duper good”, again with the super duper, not a children’s entertainer.

“I would like to get that working today, if we could. I bought Fallout 4 on GoG. I followed the steps that I was TOLD to follow to get it to work…and it doesn’t work.”

Intelligence issue, worked just fine for me.

“So we can work on that together today and try to figure out how to get this working.”

Wish I could tell a room full of people to help me do my job, and for free.

We’re looking at the GOG menu while Phil maddogs the chat.

“Did I do something WRONG? I don’t even know.”

“I’m ‘unna read you the step-by-step instructions I was sent. Alright? And I abided by them.”

Man is an utter moron, he is looking at Fallout4.exe going “Is this the executable?”

“Maybe you guise can help me. I don’t know what the executable file is.”

“This just looks like regular Fallout 4 to me. So this is wrong. So what happened? Why did Fallout London not activate?”

He hasn’t mentioned downgrading Fallout 4, that is, undoing the recent “upgrade” Phil was crowing about back in April. I’m wondering if that has anything to do with it.

His chat is not helping him, what they’re telling him to do is totally wrong. I don’t know if it's intentional because trolls or unintentional because dumb, but I’m laughing either way.

“What do I do? I followed the instructions.”

“Tuhuh, that’s PC gaming. Everyone else, everything just works, it’s simple, it’s easy set up, first time, beautiful.”

I wonder why that is Phil. I wonder why for everyone else it’s simple and for you, yes YOU, it isn’t.

“Press new and it should work, the menu never changes.”

Nope that’s wrong, Fallout London has a unique menu. I love chat knowing as much as Phil, i.e. nothing.

Now he’s maddogging chat because he’s blind and can’t read the screen, so he can’t get to the option they told him to check.

Chat is telling him like 4 different things to do and they’re all wrong, this is hilarious. I’m sure the fun I’m having will disappear once gameplay actually starts, but for once I’m thoroughly enjoying Phil’s stream.

Finally, after 10 minutes, someone tells him he has to downgrade the game, he ignores it in favor of repairing his installation of Fallout 4 which will not help at all.

“I’m glad you guys are here live to do this because I would never figure this out on my own, you know that.”

Phil finished repairing his installation of Fallout 4, it did not help.

“How would I uninstall and reinstall this game then, I dunno hadda do dah.”

Phil removed the game from his library for reasons unknown to both God and man.

“I don’t think it ever downloaded the mod.”

Literal retard, man was trying to play Fallout London having never installed or even downloaded Fallout London.

While he downloads the game, he’s bitching that the programmers are “book smart but not street smart” for programming a game such that you have to download and install it in order to play it.

Pretty rich hearing Phil telling the programmers to be human when he’s the fucking bizarre alien who thought he could play a game he didn’t have.

Phil notices the mod has finished installing yet we’re continuing to scroll through Gamepass games.

He’s installing a bunch of games he’s already played so he can see how good they look on his PC, I haven’t been listening, I’m ordering a pizza.

“See like, how Mass Effect 1 looks like with the…insane graphics on PC.”

It looks…fine, I guess? Graphical update or no, it’s still a game from 2007.

Great stream, I love watching Phil scroll through a menu going, “Wauw! I bet [game] looks AMAZING on PC!” over and over again.

If I were making a TIHYDP, this is the part where I’d cut in past Phil yelling “Do you wanna play the fuckin game?”

Phil is shocked he has so many people watching, and he immediately blows his nose into the mic. He turned off the camera to do this but didn’t mute the mic(?).

Phil plays on PC with a controller.......why? Is this a thing?

Phil doesn’t know how to pronounce “plebeian”.

Phil thanks Malcolm X for a super chat. Don’t give Phil money, but I’m not gonna say I didn’t chuckle.

“It sucks, I can’t understand everything he’s saying, there’s no subtitles.”

Get a hearing aid, gramps, I’m not having any trouble.

“I don’t live over there, I’m not a big geography guy.”

Phil says he only knows “London bridge” and Big Ben as London landmarks, his ignorance causes me psychosomatic pain. No Westminster Abbey? Buckingham Palace? Trafalgar Square? St. Paul’s fucking Cathedral? And those are just off the top of my head.

A fan tells Phil that Neil Newbon aka Astarion is in this game, which I didn’t know, big ups Neil.

A superchatter says Fallout doesn’t make sense outside US but doesn’t say why. I don’t know, it makes sense to me.

When it’s time to name his character, Phil immediately makes up 2 names that refer to cocks because he’s a pouf, then comes up with Sir Pippen Mastockersonman because British, I suppose.

He goes with “Pippen Longtooth”.

His attributes: S=1 P=8 E=1 C=8 I=8 A=1 L=1

Phil is bamboozled by the concept of traits despite playing Fallout New Vegas is 2021.

Phil is a hoarder and his character also has that trait. It lets you carry more weight in exchange for not being able to move at all (as opposed to very, very slowly) when encumbered.

Despite picking the “hoarder” trait, Phil doesn’t pick up any of the first items he sees because they aren’t “money or weapons”. Mate, you have 8 charisma, pick that shite up to sell?

I’m not surprised huge Mass Effect fan Phil doesn’t comment on how similar the opening of the mod is to that of Mass Effect 2.

Phil walks into a fire and almost dies, great start.

Phil’s lost in the tutorial area again.

Phil is standing in a room with the quest item he needs to open a door. The item is marked on the compass, Phil is mashing the button to open the door and is confused that it doesn't open.

“How do I open this door? Is there a button here somewhere? I thought I pushed it. Did it do anything? I puh—I pressed it. It’s not doing anything. O cahm ahn. What am I supposed to do?

Now he’s punching the door, it’s still not opening.

Old man Phil complaining the text on a terminal is too small to read.

Phil’s Smythe is a bloke, mine is a bird, not sure if there’s anything significant there. Is it because I’m playing a female character?

Since Phil doesn’t make a joke about the phrase “mind the gap”, I’m assuming he doesn’t know what it means.

Now he’s talking about the snot in his throat, no wonder Khet is physically revolted at his touch.

“This is very Gothic.”

no it isn’t

“They’ll probably have similar products, but moar British-themed.”

Killed by radshrews, death 1

Phil has no idea what rope-a-dope is, just trust me, what he's saying it is is absolutely not what it is, rest in piss Muhammed Ali.

“If I jump, I’m gonna die. Do they seriously want me to jump?”

Do it faggot fairy.

Suicided off the ledge, death 2.

“You’re not supposed to jump? But it said to do it, and I did it, and then I died.”

Suicided off the ledge again, death 3.

“I guess you’re not supposed to do that. I guess you’re not supposed to do that. Where do I go now? It said ‘Do it’, and I did it and I died. What do I do? What the hell do I do? All these doors are inaccessible, what the hell do they want me to do? Uhhhh…I’m so confused. I don’t know. I can’t open the doors, and…nothing to do but commit suicide. I don’t know what I’m supposed to do here. Do I jump down there?”

Suicided off the ledge again, death 4.

“I don’t know what to do.”

Suicided off the ledge again, death 5.

“I don’t know, I give up I guess. I dunno what to do. I’m lost.”

“What the hell am I supposed to be doing?”

He checks the mission in the Pip-Boy ATTA-boy.

“‘Find a way out.’ Oh that’s so helpful, thanks.”

“Oh, the big giant unmissable doors right in front of my face.”

“Chances are I will eventually play [Fallout London].”

“‘Exit through the gift shop.’ Excellent, thanks for telling me.”

Right cheeky of the developers to reference Banksy, no way in hell Phil knows who Banksy is.

Phil is stuck behind the Underground’s turnstiles.

“How do I get through here? I don’t see a door.”

“The whole location of Fallout 4 was boring. BAWSTON?”

Phil says “I don’t want to hate on Bostonians or anything” then proceeds to cut a 90 second promo shitting on Boston.

“They know who you are.”

Yeah Phil, they were in the lab with you.

Phil pronounces the name of the river Thames as “tames”, some valedictorian. (It’s pronounced more like “tems” if you didn’t know.)

“So dark.”

It’s nighttime Phil, I’m not convinced Phil knows what “night” is.

Phil pronounces this “a time-killer stream” and says he “didn’t want to do anything too important”.

“We should save this for the future, when I haven’t just played Fallout 4.”

“Nice music, it’s a really nice soundtrack.”

The music isn’t bad, but so far it’s one of the weaker aspects of the mod, to be honest.

The rest of the stream is just Phil experiencing a minor glitch and taking 10 minutes to fix it.

“I would love to play this in the future, but I guess we’ll see.”

Kill yourself.

So, that was Fallout London. If Phil does play this, it'll be a bit of a struggle for him. Normal difficulty is tougher in the mod than in the base game, as evidenced by his death to the tutorial enemies. He said he's making it contingent on what alotta peepul tell him, so it's anyone's guess as to whether he'll ever play this or not.

Right, off you go then! I'll pop round if Phil ever carries out his threat to play this.

Thanks for suffering through this for us. I can't stand his gameplay streams nowadays, but I'm not surprised the guy failed in all aspects, before even getting to the game.

There's something significant there, but I won't spoil it unless you want me to.
