Your average Actual Fallout fan has contributed way less to capitalism since they already bought their games on a Steam summer sale roughly 10 or so years ago for exactly $5 (or even just outright pirated them) and are still using the same gaming rig they bought the games on or even just a beaten up 360 if they only played 3/NV.
Meanwhile your average NuFallout fan is paying $15 to $21 every month for xis Amazon Prime subscription (famously a company for the proletariat) and probably has gone through two console cycles (PS4, PS5) ever since Fallout 4's initial release back in 2015. So I'm thinking xe owns two copies of Fallout 4 and 76 respectively and most definitely bought both brand new or even pre-ordered. There's also factors such as Fallout Shelter, 76, and Creation Store microtransactions which probably tallies up to $1,000 or even more if we go from 2015 to 2024... Those things add up quick if we go by your average gacha game player's average. View attachment 6410289 View attachment 6410303
And not to mention the fucking huge amounts of consoomerist slop that came out. Definitely a critique of capitalism right here when you pay $50 for a dry-ass lukewarm adult happy meal burger delivered by some refugee while also sipping on your 100% definitely-but-we-won't-admit-it child labour sourced flavored coffee (lmao). And they're the one talking about muh capitalism?
This...is painful to look at. It's just sad. I will be slightly fair and say it's mostly normies and their kids who may or may not have evenn watched the show more than nuFallout fans from what I can gather. Not that you're even wrong, not in the slightest. That last comment chain is literally:
"It's just a bottle of another soda but with a Fallout label slapped on and overpriced."
"REEEEEEEEE STOP RUINING MY EXPERIENCE, LET ME CONSOOM IN PEACE"
Makes me wheeze laugh and cringe so hard it's like I bit into an extra ripe lemon while inhaling laughing gas. It's not about critiquing Capitalism anymore, it's just terminally online fanboys defending their beloved IP by any means necessary. No bigger denouncers of late stage Capitalism than their biggest supporters.
They did learn, and they largely left or stopped buying merch unless it was actually proven to have been good. The ones that haven't learned are the nuFallout fans and they either won't learn due to terminal consoomery or the companies making this slop actually have Quality Assurance teams, or will learn soon enough but again the consoomery is very strong.
I don't like him. his Disco Elysium video was dogshit, he tried to do this wacky character and it reminded me of if some hollywood person tried to do a Nostalgia Critic parody. And in another video he got way too fucking person and talked about his mentally challenged son and about his own personal mental illness and it really felt like a Gen X person trying to do some Millennial "i got depression wah feel bad for me" thing and watching both of those videos in a row really disgusted me. It honestly felt like he was trying to force views to give him money through patreon by any pathetic means necessary.
The concept in general sucks, he had a couple good videos but there's only so many CRPGs and once he decided to "do this shit full time" he seemed to explode in how annoying he was.
you'd think they'd just make most of the main quest unplayable until you hit where James is being held, you just have to alter a bit of dialogue to make it work. instead of living in a vault, your dad was always a scientist and raised you wherever but regardless he got trapped with that psycho because he was researching the GECK. The rest of the plot can play out normally plus fallout 3 already codes in the idea of the Lone Wanderer heading straight to the vault where James is being held captive, so just starting from there should be easy.
it really isn't most of those locations are crap like just a single shack with procedural loot. New Vegas has like a quarter of all the "locations" and once you realize you can use the sewer for even quicker travel you can knock out all the quests in literally an hour or less. In general theres actually much less to New Vegas than Fallout 3. at least in the vanilla.
I'm more offended at the overpriced FLAVORED coffee. Flavored coffee is a big red flag since 9 times out of 10 its just low quality medium beans of unknown origin mixed with artificial flavor extract and they always taste like shit. Bones Coffee is a big offender especially since people will blindly buy their shit as long it's in a pretty package or has a cross promotional brand slapped on it and give positive reviews about how it totally doesn't taste like garbage.
They're all from the same dropshipped slave coffee farms in some shithole country. No exception. Sam Hyde's coffee, the Quartering's coffee, Bones, etc. they all come from the same source. It's only just different packaging and a markup.
And flavored coffee is for fags anyways. If you really want your coffee to taste like a brownie why don't you... I dunno, eat a brownie? I know. The average soy mind cannot comprehend such a thought without ACK-ing themselves.
I evacuated Zion only once for an achievement years ago. Cass, on the other hand, has only been a companion a handful of times. She's way too bitchy and the only companion that can leave you depending on your karma. Unless I have characters that drink alcohol, she's usually sold down the river for a nice 1000 caps plus all the equipment the trade deal raid gives you.

I meant that figuratively, when you bring her to the Van Graffs she gets executed but you get a real nice chunk of change(not to mention the final mission in their questline).
"Quest mod" reviews popping up in my recommended. Mods in question are old news, but it's pretty fun to watch reviewers, well, continue not having fun.
Holy shit, you can see the DNA of Frontier right there and then even at the beginning. No wonder that mod, especially the NCR questline, were such a shit show. War Trash is basically the NCR questline cut down, right down to having absolutely no player agency and the game pointing out that YOU ARE A MONSTER, COURIER 6!
one thing that has been lost in gaming is storytelling through gameplay. no, we dont need a fucking asshole talking into our brain like silverhand or a 20 min cutsene rendered in 16 K that takes 100 gigas. just cleaned quarry junction and i feel like fucking shit because there was a family of deathclaws there.

It's such a shame Obsidian didn't go the Broken Steel route with one of the New Vegas DLCs. One of my biggest disappointments with the game is not getting to actually see the Mojave change after the fight for Hoover Dam.

At least there's a mod for it, which I personally like to use since I dislike open world games that don't let you play after the ending. (Especially if the game doesn't tell you beforehand that this will be the case. But New Vegas at least sort've warns you.)
It was actually coming across that series that made me want to play New Vegas again funnily enough.
Truth be told I actually rather enjoy the series, you can tell the guy making it really did his research too with all the references to Van Buren, hell there were some I didn't even catch the first time watching. The series is chock full of atmosphere and I really hope it doesn't fumble the ball somehow down the line.
The lore as it is presented is also pretty interesting. Using Howard Hughes to represent Mr. House is also pretty genius for obvious reasons. Still not sure what to make of the series because of the weird mish-mash of gnostic religious shit mixed with the Van Buren and edgier New Vegas shit.
From what I can tell so far though the series implies this is some variant of New Vegas with a darker edgier storyline where Mr. House for whatever reason was unable to construct the Lucky 38 fully and enact his plans to protect Vegas from the nukes, basically leaving it a true wasteland akin to The Divide.
As a side note I'm convinced this channel has something to do with the storyline too because there are just too many similarities to drb0sch's stuff to ignore. Drb0sch himself even commented on one of the videos when someone floated the idea of this being an alt account of his and insisted it wasn't but that the video was interesting regardless. My theory is this is another player who also encountered weird shit in their copy of Vegas linked to whatever B0sch found. The main channel somewhat vaguely implies there are other people involved with the video about the strange lights that he claims wasn't uploaded by him, so.
Either way it's interesting to see someone doing this with the game. Though given the game editing tools it's probably not that difficult. If anything I'm surprised it took this long.

Yeah I share those critiques, he got really into his heart surgery and whenever he goes on about that shit you see people noticeable get disengaged when you check the comments and by the "replay" bar (the rising and falling bar that scales depending on how many people rewound to a specific part), when he doesn't do that I find him pretty enjoyable. Hm, guess that's why I initially stopped watching for a while.

FPGE - Functional Post Game Ending is your friend, as well as the addons if you find yourself doing multiple playthoughs. Some of my favorites is the Elijah ending where you side with him and turn NV into what's essentially DUST but you're the bad guy, one where if you fail to defeat Ulysses before the Second Battle of Hoover Dam he'll nuke the faction you sided with (though you can access the nuked area, for example if you join Caesar's Legion he'll nuke Dry Wells and all quests for LR will fail. This mod allows you to get the House ending bonuses from the base mod but for the Independent ending. There's more but just check out the "Mods requiring this file" section in the requirements.

Lol what a tool, bet you their only played Fo4 before NV. "10 people found this review helpful" yeah I bet they all have a certain flag behind them like OP does. Their other review is tf2 and Fo4's workshop DLC. And guess what they're complaining about in the Vault-Tec DLC. "Muh human experiments. What's roleplaying? How dare you make a faction that's morally ambiguous!" Their account is long since dead it seems.

My issue with the statement that House couldn't develop his security system is that the Freeside sign exists. Based on the references to Van Buren, I'm assuming that this version of New Vegas is set after the Convict decided to allow Victor Prespor to wipe the slate clean. With the new plague found in the New Vegas ruins and the Daughters of Hecate invading via the sewers, Cesear's legion might've launched a campaign into the Strip. All of the Last Men (NCR, Legion, New Vegas citizens) are the antithesis of the Dante Courier (Übermensch). Now, the esoteric gnostic metacontext could reference Jack Cabot's belief from his father that an ancient city was under the Mojave. Perhaps the nuke allowed the hidden evil of the ancient civilization to infest the former Strip? It would make sense, considering how there are Lovecraftian dangers that make the player hide in fear in almost all of the videos within the ruins.

Actually the most comprehensive theory I've seen so far. I mean, it could be taking place in a version of New Vegas that takes place after Van Buren's original planned ending or something given from what I remember it was going to be fairly destructive.
Though I do also have to wonder what some of the other elements are like during some scenes where you can hear distant gunfire like some kind of war is going on that the player can't see. Though that could be this invasion of New Vegas that you speak of.
Honestly, maybe you can relate but on one hand I really want to fucking see what it is he's constantly hiding from.
But on the other hand, I don't because I feel like whatever I personally imagine up is probably always going to be scarier than whatever the creator decides on. Though I could end up being completely wrong, but so far we have absolutely zero idea what the creatures are or even look like and I partially want it to stay that way.
