Modders should stop fixing Bethesda's crap and let them simmer in their own cesspool.
Saddly that why they dont care they knwo they got a competent modding comunity that make things work better them selfs and know they are gonna fix there problems
Modders are the sole reason bethesda still exists and I don’t believe I’m exaggerating

Remember when we asked if anybody tested fallout 76? Why do we keep asking if they test stuff?
Nobody asked for fallout 76 ever! Online versions of elder scrolls and fallout nobody wanted these live service trash
@@cChristopheRDonexcept ESO is still extremely popular , but under different development studio that can actually make a competent online game. before the TV show helping boost numbers, Fallout 76 had less than half the player base of ESO. Bethesda Games is still making early 2000s style PC games for modern technology, which is why 76 doesn't work
@@cChristopheRDon Elders Scrolls Online is good.
I actually really like f76 so yeah I'm going to continue playing it live service don't really care at this point everyone's doing it and it's not going to stop
I liked ESO but I like f76 more just cause it's online and it still has that fallout feel

Bethesda: banned for racism trade locked
Bethesda never changes.
it ended with Skyrim, 14 years ago.
“In the year 2018 Bethesda Softworks were plunged into nuclear fire with the release of fallout 76. Though the writing was on the wall they pushed on no matter the cost resulting in the dropping of nuclear bombs on the franchise’s name. However after crawling away from the blast they turned to the stars.. hoping they could find more.. sadly it’s easy to get lost in empty space. Alliances with Bezos however proved fruitful as using his empire they built a strong series which stood on its own, despite the protests of many infamous couriers… Using this as the assurance they needed the softworks team attempted to drop their patch into old pre-war computers that ,despite warnings from local scribes, ended in widespread chaos and setbacks for another hundred years.. Dogmatic in their resolve Todd and Emil, popular figures in the Bethesda faction promise brighter horizons.. but the wasteland never forgets because Bethesda.. Bethesda never changes”
@@George-um2vcthe writing in Skyrim felt like it was done by AI. And had less VA to spread around them fallout 3
Todd Howard’s decision making put them years behind and millions/billions lost because they did 76 and starfield rather than ES6 and FO5
Todd is just really a meme generator now. Microsoft really done spent $7.8 billion on this company 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Xbox fans can't even catch a break man. It's just sad.
To be fair, I totally understand why he would do that, and I would have done it myself. He’s been making Elder scrolls since Morrowind (I think), as a creator, I’d be sick of it. Plus, 76 and Starfield are great ideas, I’d be excited to work on them. If Bethesda had any level of quality control and vision, both could have been good games on launch. I think Todd is just old, he made his best stuff, I think he’s milking this company for all it’s worth and spending time with his family.
@@jontay4199 the error he made was sitting on two franchises for years that were wildly popular and just milked them (es5 and fo4). Imagine had Nintendo done that with Mario and donkey Kong.
@@gauldenj1 I mean you call it a mistake, but the fans just keep buying all the old games… It’s only a mistake if you look at it from our end, where he left crazy amounts of money on the table- but he would have had to work harder for it.
@@jontay4199 I think that decision def hurt Bethesda in the long run. Plus re releasing Skyrim over and over, even though people like me bought it over and over, will not age well either. Im just bitter because es5 was all I played for years
Lets be real, Bethesda has never been more than a mid-tier developer at best. Its just that in their peak they had compelling IPs (not that they even created them all themselves to begin with), and they were one of the first to do the whole first person open world rpg in a mainstream way so there wasnt really any competition for comparison. FO3 was my first FO, and even back in 2008 it wasnt anything amazing to me, it was a non-compelling mid tier story, but set in a really cool sandbox. Id also say the fact that the FO games are set in real locations is also part of its appeal (again, case in point FO3 came out right after i moved to DC so i felt a connection and it was cool seeing post apocalyptic renditions of places i saw every day). If they were imaginary planets/cities such as the Outer Worlds then they probably would have been just as unmemorable (or is it non-memberable?) as OW was. Skyrim really seems more of a fluke than anything else. Probably their only legit high quality production (and thats if you look past the technical state it launched in). If Phil doesnt say hey guys we're giving FO to someone else ill be dissapointed as hell.
If you look at the roster for skyrim, the game was stacked with incredible talent in the industry.. its just now all that talent is gone due to retirement or being fired or whatever happened.. They had the 90s bulls.. now they got the bulls of today working on Bethesda.. same name same team just different players. It baffles me how studios fire and replace people thinking the game will be the same or great.. you just got rid of the best player/dev what you think was gunna happen.. went from winning goty 4 games in a row to losing 3 in a row because yall dont have them players anymore. As much a pain and weirdo michael kirkbride was/is HIRE HIMBACK he knew how to write the F out of a video game with lore... look at the lore in starfield shit is absent .. instead of lore books they just copied real life books and put a paragraph.. wooow incredible
@@OGPuppetMaster very excellent points, like I have nothing to add to it because you hit the nail on the head
Good IP Wrong hands
Is sad seeing how they went from the incredible world building, lore, systems, setting and immersion of Morrowind and Oblivion to FO3, to Skyrim, FO4, to FO76, to Starfield... Even if Skyrim still is a great title, it only has the gameplay (which is not saying much) and lacks everything else from the previous titles, and FO3 is just Oblivion with rough combat. I'd argue Morrowind and Oblivion stand on their own, but it would be impossible to play FO3 or Skyrim without mods.
It's just sad what this company has become all within the last 6 years. Bethesda with Skyrim was like Rockstar with GTA 3. Imagine if Rockstar after making their first breakout smash hit game GTA 3 and just literally peak right there in 2001. That was the highest pinnacle Rockstar ever reaches and they go downhill from there. And then Dan Houser just gaslights their fans and jokes about how buggy their games are and just straight up lying and over promising on everything. That's Todd Howard to Bethesda right now.
I could've lined up 5 or 6 mods with my eyes closed that would've did more than this next-gen update.
Yup. At this point anyone simple enough to throw money at Bethesda's low effort slop, deserves to lose their cash smh
@@Thorn_416Sadly Bethesda forced their Creations into the BASE GAME this time around and it is broken and missing textures!
All my modded saves caught an audio glitch. Screw mods I'll take the ps5 upgrade
@@AttakusZakus It will be patch either by us of by force.
My favorite loading screen in Starfield is in the Techo-Bar on Neon. Bar has a second level that you reach by elevator/loading screen, once on the second level you can walk up to the DJ pit and jump back down to the first level without a loading screen.
🤦
This....this hurts my brain. Like.....what in world???? What did they do XD
So this is how Fallout dies... with thunderous applause.
Well because a lot of people watched the show and now that the game is somewhat fixed it is also more enjoyable
I mean, the tv show might stay good. At least watchable. Fallout Lore's been scuffed since forever so at this point the show is the only aspect of the lore we should even care about lol. It's not like BGS gives af.
Lol
The show will keep the game alive and the universe/lore are fantastic so I don't think it's going anywhere. What's funny is that Bethesda bought the Fallout IP from a different company. Imagine if Projekt Red or Larian had Fallout.. we wouldn't only have a great show but a great game as well.
@@LukeWarm612yea but what about the games. We not going to keep watching “who dropped the bombs“ videos. This update shoulda been everhthing we expected. They essentially just added native 4k (which you won’t notice if you can’t play in 4k HDR) and a ᵗⁱⁿʸ amount of CC for free and called it a day (2 years) Oh yea those patch fixes.. that shit is insane, barely any fixes, some that NO ONE ASKED FOR over the years.
Every day I'm flabbergasted as to how Bethesda won't stop messing up. Sadly they will never let any other studio (which most are superior in competence) touch their IP's.
Imagine Fallout 5 being made by Obsidian!
I'm sure if Microsoft cares, they could rip it from their envious hands.
That's Todd for you. His ego...
@ANGRYWOLVERINE2060-ft2nc The Toddster cant have competition
not 343
This is like the student rushing to do their project the day before it’s due.
Like a melted Paper Mache barely colored display of the galaxy or cosmos, I've done school projects like this and I felt the teacher would reject it. Todd or whoever was in charge needed to reject this update and go back to the drawing board.
they saw how badly CDPR botcher the Witcher 3 update but still got away with it coz it was free and said "LET'S DO THE SAME THING AND BRAKE OUR GAME! YES!"
How dare you. A lot of us do our BEST work in the crunch window. Not that devs should be forced to endure crunch, but that's when some of us come ALIVE.
The sad part is they had 2 years to work on their school project. TWO YEARS!!!!!!!!
@@CDN_Bookmouse Sounds very satirical, not very productive or safe when people suffer crunch time like in most of the gaming industry. Like one of my favorite games Red Dead Redemption 1, it may be great but at a personal cost for those who worked on it. I may be confused by the comment, mainly leaving this reply if others take it seriously.
This has to completely kill an Elder Scrolls hype right? Like they can't even release an update for a game they've finished for a decade. It's absolutely ludicrous
My hype and hope died when starfield came out. That was the company’s passion project, they been waiting for years and years to make this, they were all so excited etc. then it came out and it was a dull, lifeless, outdated mess. Bethesda doesn’t like elder scrolls every time they talk about it, it’s with disdain so I can only imagine how lazy and half ass it will be
On PS5, the game is MUCH BETTER. The PS4 version would ALWAYS CRASH. It stuttered with low frames and it had a weird texture glitch. Unplayable even with no mods. PS5 version was needed, I can finally play with zero crashes and 60FPS. It’s nothing special, but for us on PlayStation this was much needed. Still a lot of things are unacceptable and I do feel bad for PC players.
Sounds like a you problem. Never had a single issue with it on my ps4 and ps5. Ever.
I want to make a final decision. I'm a ps5 player, if I "didn't care about losing my mods" (I do, just an example) Is the game still playable and good? I've heard they fixed a lot of the CC bugs like the Tunnel Snakes breaking Codsworth, the skins causing the 0kb glitch, etc. there's a framerate increase and adaptive triggers, (meaning guns feel like guns now.) I also hear a lot of negative things. Some people losing there DLC's, they won't update and are broken (telling them to buy it again and such.) Red "!" Everywhere, on a lot of weapons/armor. As a Ps5 player, I've only played it on ps4, so I'm wonding if it's safe to download on ps5 (ya know since I can't revert an update), or am I basically downloading an unintentional virus?
@@DevicCypherthen you didn't play in the last not month.. Or you never deleted it from your system.. A quick Google search will show two weeks ago when the show dropped there was a bunch of people having issues, the game would crash before you got the main menu..turns out one update in the past straight up broke automatron.. If you launched the game with the dlc installed the game would crash.. They fixed the issue on the ps4 version when the next gen dropped. It's definitely not a him thing it's a well documented bug that many oeilne struggled with..
And man the load times 😂 the update is worth it just got the load times
@@mullaosloI made the mistake of loading the ps4 version after the update dropped, the terrible graphical glitches and 30 fps made me really appreciate the ps5 update.
The fallout tv show brought me back to reminisce about the game. I didn’t come back for the half assed lazy update. After starfield (Todd Howard’s passion project) I’m not excited for anything BGS does.
they really need to hire modders beyond creation club to continually deliver dlc quality content AND hire or bring in-house the script extender authors or give those folks pre-access to patch builds before they're released so those script extenders are ready at the same time as the patch. I mean this seams like a no brainer to me, i feel like they're leaving money on the table
Todd Howard: you're right.............let's put it in a subscription. $19.99 a month. Be able to download some of the best user created content ever made.
They have however they're primarily sent to work on the cash cow that is Fallout 76. I don't know the names but they poached developers of FO3 remake and FO4NV that I know of specifically.
Put that Microsoft money to work! Modders by the hundreds would be great value per quality work output even if they got paid well. The increased sales and decreased negative press would be worth it.
Yeah, I never really understood why they don't use their modders more. They have definitely hired a bit, but as far as right now, it doesn't seem like it has done much.
They need to make more games with player agency. Fallout 4 has less agency compared to New Vegas. Skyrim has some player agency but it isn’t much compared to New Vegas. Maybe follow the New Vegas formula with improved aspects like if you kill someone from one faction and there was no one around, you don’t get vilified and if an NPC finds them they make an investigation. With today’s technology it is very possible, the problem is that Corporations want to make big buck by investing less and charging for more.
It really makes you appreciate old BGS titles after Starfield. Fallout 4 came out to Luke warm reception pun intended, and it's leagues above Starfield. I know beating a dead horse, but I can't help but make the comparison as I am doing a new playthrough of Fallout 4.
100% correct imo(and yours lol). Starfield is abysmally lack luster. They shot exploration of handcrafted locals in the head only to have 1-2 locations of the exact same layout peppered around the same planets just with different colors. And these planets are completely lifeless. Flying a ship is demoted down to cutscene after cutscene of fast traveling only. It really left the exploration and freedom of previous BGS titles to be desired. And to put salt on the wound I haven’t heard anything about starfield lately. No new content. No new anything. Which seems very very odd. Todd Howard gonna be the new George RR Martin of the video game world. Leave his hame roots to go do tv shows of his own game leaving people wanting more FO and ES titles. lol
I ended up spending 6 hours (literally) trying to fix the PC side of things. -The Ultrawide support as you stated was broken. -No performance gain due to Script Extender not being available for the newest update (Still slow af with a 4090). So, what to do? I did what a lot of the community has already done and backdated my Fallout game version to the more mod-friendly state. In doing this, I also wanted to do a fresh start with all the CC content reinstalled. THAT WAS A HUGE MISTAKE HERE. Instant crashes no matter which CC contents I had installed. Those CC store contents are now only valid to work with the new update IF you decide to redownload them or buy new ones. It took me so long to figure out why nothing was working and that was the culprit. Under no circumstances, DO NOT REDOWNLOAD/UPDATE YOUR CREATION CLUB CONTENT on the older Fallout versions.
How long have you played Fallout? I learn years ago it's best not to fix things. That is six hours you are never going get back.
@@KalEl7802 Been playing almost all the Bethesda games for probably close to 15 years in total. A lot of the time, I don't mind fixing what Bethesda ignores to do because I and many others have done it for so long and we WANT to play the game and get it functional. Ironically, I do sort of like fixing the game because it gives me a challenge and I get to learn something from the thing I enjoy. Plus, everyone's PC setup and playthrough's is different so that requires attention to what works and what doesn't. But updates like this and fixing them is what other devs do almost on a daily basis. To you it may be a waste of time, but I have all the time in the world 🤷♂
For me it's made loading SUPER long like it sometimes takes 2-3 mins to load the map going back into the Commonwealth. As I discover more places on the map it just gets worse.
@@MrMister5305 It is a waste of time as Bethesda games are buggy. The only way you ever going fix them is through official updates from Bethesda or mods.
@@KalEl7802 And those "official updates" broke a lot of people's games... so that leaves us no choice but to use mods to fix the game and troubleshoot the games. Modders put in way more time into mods and then have patches for those mods for other mods to work together or even run the game. Those 6 hours I put in to help others be aware of another problem is nothing compared to what they go through lol it's normal man. Unfortunately.
bethesda breaking my heart...and i thought i was hardened by fallout 4 having no choices...then 76..then starfield being just ok...im like charlie brown and bethesda is lucy..fortunately i will have 10 years before the next insult
At this point idc what people say about Obsidian and The Outer Worlds, they HAVE to be more competent than this. Give them the Fallout IP
The Outer Worlds is amazing, very very underrated.
If they can make avowed a true fps medieval rpg like kingdom come (I know it’s not perfect but for an rpg it’s pretty damn good ) they take the next step and be one of the top developers
Bethesda hasn’t had their shit together for over a decade at this point and it’s not changing anytime soon. Those that hold on to the hope that they inevitably will.. are simply deluding themselves.
Eh, they've had a game plan for ES6 for quite some time now. It might not be the best story as per normal, but I'm sure it will be another great sandbox game. With all of the complaints about FO3/4 and Oblivion/Skyrim that people have, all 4 games were still extremely popular and had a lot of replay value. I highly doubt they'll ruin TES or FO games (single player ones), unless they go down the route of Starfield again and ProcGen everything.
@@Th1sUsernameIsNotTaken that’s the delusion talking
@@BlueBEAZY45 It really isn't though. You even confirm this by saying "over a decade", meaning you're referring to, at minimum, Skyrim. A game in which people bitched and moaned that it was terrible and a step down from oblivion, all while they were able to release it 17 times and get insane amounts of profit each and every time because of the following it had. And hate or love FO4, there's no denying it overall has more staying power and playability than FO3 or NV. Is it better than either? Arguable on one, for sure not on the other, but because of its game loop and accessibility, it's the one that is easiest to get into and continually play. Which 2 games haven't done well? FO76 which is a multiplayer game, and was exactly what they said it was going to be before launch, so it's hard to hate them for it entirely, and Starfield, the SP new IP that you can say was atrocious, but something outside of their comfort zone, that hopefully taught them what NOT to do going forward.
@@BlueBEAZY45Yep. It's amazing watching these Bethesda fanboys being betrayed time and time again and they still defend Bethesda
@@rahimsvoice Stockholm Syndrome in its purest form
I’m all for the Fallout IP getting contracted out to another studio, but I’m not sold on the developer needing to be Obsidian. Put out the memo and see who’s interested, ask them for a budget and a roadmap, and then pick the best offer. Some fresh blood would do the Fallout series good.
Literally
If BGS wants to ditch load screens, they're gonna have to dump having hundreds of little items in-game that have physics.
I really wish they would. It's gimmicky and unnecessary, at least within their own game design. Unless they actually rebuild to make their 1,000,000 animated sandwiches interesting for the game loop, it's just holding them back.
load screens were taken out of skyrim and fallout by modders years ago.
oh no what ever will i do without the trillions of random junk loot littering the game's empty ass map of fetch quests
@@lionsasbirds1017 the problem is that BGS let a meme inform their concept of what their fanbase wanted. They think most of the players want that and will be upset if it's not in their games.
@@longdeath8843 that's because the "players", aka the bethesda fangirls, have been making way too many excuses for bethesda and holding their hand. the whole "modders will make it better" mindset makes Bethesda more money while the modders help fix their games for free. at some point, it's gotta stop. Gamers and modders have to go on a full strike for the next Bethesda release and stop appropriating their culture of laziness and greed
I started playing Fallout 4 a couple weeks ago and it's been great, even running completely unmodded. This update came in and it's now crashing constantly and I haven't been able to play for longer than a few minutes without inexplocable crash ever since.
Yeah bethesta breaking a game which is 10 year old more inestable ajjajaj
Your only option to use the previous version is to buy another copy on GOG is seems. Bethesda knows that. They could easily offer the old version as a Beta branch on Steam, but they dont.
is your weapon debris on?
I don't think Bathesda is doing the Oblivion or Fallout 3 remake/Remaster. I think I remember it's been given to another company to do them.
I have it for both PlayStation and Xbox since it’s launch on last gen consoles and never had an issue with it on either platform. It’s basically the same as last gen with just slightly better resolution and 60fps added. Other than that there’s no difference
That's because you're not using mods, and this video is mostly about the PC version so your comment is pointless just like this update. They could easily have added 60 fps on consoles with a simple .ini tweak without wiping everybody's modlist. Most people play Bethesda games WITH mods otherwise it's not worth it because they're ugly, broken trash - their full potential is unlocked with mods.
@@rahimsvoice lmao the only comment that was pointless and idiotic was yours little kid lmfao
Been saying this for years, BGS is anti-gamer/consumer at this point
The patch worked fine for me on pc, but I don't use any mods though. Seemed like they fixed some issues with settlement bugs.
10 years later
Genuinely, I just wish Bethesda would stop messing with their games years after launch. I love fallout and the elder scrolls but I wish their games wouldn't be destroyed a decade after launch
On ps5 it’s actually great lmfao some mods don’t work maybe like two or three but the whole games much more stable and playable good update for ps5 😭 am actually having fun
Playstation's versions really stretch the meaning of "mod" when compared to every BGS game. So not surprised to hear there aren't many issues.
I only wish Sony would allow more than bare minimum mods.
stop lying to yourself
I want a unreal engine 5 new Vegas remake. With possible cut content. It would be a literal gold mine.
As far as performance in Xbox I’m blown away by how great it’s running. I’m very happy with it.
I never had issues with how it ran before on Xbox at all
Started playing again after watching the show. Was having a great time before the “upgrade” but now I can’t even get past a loading screen🥲Thanks BSG
@@Grimmm233 me either but with the new update the graphics are fuckin butttterrrrrry.
The quality 30 fps mode with ultra graphics is broken tho 😒
Just don’t play quality mode? It’s not even worth it anyway, it’s not like you’re running cyberpunk which would actually be worth running in quality mode. The game is almost 10 years old, just play on performance mode
Fallout 4 finally exceeded my expectations. This update is way shittier than I thought it could possibly be
You forgot that Obsidian is a shell of the former self as well.
Yeah its unreal how this is call next gen update when there are no next gen features or new implementations. On PC there random crashes to desktop, if you have modern hardware and are capable of more than 144fps the lip synch and animations are broken. The Witcher 3 a game that lunch the same year back in 2015 had a way better next gen update. Bethesda delays this and puts no effort in testing and providing something good that could potencially extend the life of the game even more.
Just wait for the Fallout 4 - Anniversary Edition
I'm actually enjoying the game. Its my first time playing the game and even though there are dated elements, there are many fantastic elements that are not in current titles and it truly does encourage exploration. Modern open world games could learn from this game still.
I believe this is another attempt by Bethesda to get people more friendly towards paid mods, with them going, "see, these don't break with the updates", while hoping that the modders can't or won't fix them. Which is the real weakness of the model of 'modder supported games', if the modders stop coming back, your theoretical plethora of content gets thrashed. Look at Starfield.
The next big question is where do they move on from here? Do they release a patch/update to fix the bugs or do they leave it and abandon the game similar to what they did with FO3. For those unaware, FO3 is unplayable now for most people on PC. The game isn’t officially supported on anything newer than Windows 7.
This further goes to show how ridiculously poor their management is. The fact that this update was only announced after the Fallout show came out proves it. It’s fairly obvious that someone over there got excited by the glowing reviews for the show and decided to capitalize on it by rushing out a lazy update. This should have been planned and charted out months before the first trailer even came out.
I think the current state of gaming requires lots of innovation, but Bethesda has been just trying to get their games to run. Hell Divers 2, Balders Gate 3, and GTA 5 are all very impressive games and very innovative. Skyrim, to me, was their last innovative game. the graphical increase was insane compared to Oblivion, but even then you could tell it was a little behind other studios. There was little physics in the game, Hair was static, everything felt floaty. Now with Starfield they are severely behind everyone else.
Luke ngl I after the show I had this pro Bethesda rush, and was kind of upset at how pessimistic you were being. As of now I will say.. I was wrong, you were right.
To piggy back on my own comment, I was drinking the Bethesda kool-aid and assumed Starfield would be the next big thing. So I bought an Xbox while all of my friends are on ps5, so now I game alone. I played Stafield for maybe 15 minutes and uninstalled it.
@@LukeWarm612hah! I bought an Xbox for similar reasons...but MS owning InXile and Obsidian and then BGS persuaded me quickly. At least some of their devs are making some decent games.
Props to you for admitting where you're wrong. You grow as a person for it and you'd honestly be shocked how many people can longer do this. At least something positive came about it.
On Xbox Series X the makeshift pack (which is one of 3 new packs force installed via the update alongside the Halloween and Enclave packs) it has invisible weapons and shoots red exclamations and I am not the only person to run into this, so far I can count 5-6 other people. My rtx 4090 rig ran 60-144fps before the update with 100s of mods to improve graphics and with a combo of enb and reshade. Now I barely run 40fps, without mods and the enb and reshade turned off. It is absolutely appalling and abysmal treatment of a franchise I have loved for many years. Glad this is getting more attention via you and people like Juice Head. It's like they got something from the 76 launch and made that the Fallout 4 update, they need to do more testing before this mess. Would've been better without, now I feel like playing another game.
I have like zero mods on pc and still my performance got worse. loading when leaving a building takes forever and while my framerate hasn't dropped my computer is working way harder than before. I actually hear my fans now which I didn't before.
The crazy thing is about this update is that F76 is pretty much F4 but 76 has the slightly improved shooting gameplay, Ultra wide support works unlike the current F4, FPS is also much better in F76. Somehow both these games wont allow you to turn of vsync without changing ur ini files. All the improvements should have been an easy thing to do its wild. Not only that but the fkn creation club items don't even work with the new patch. BETHESDAS ON OFFICIAL MODS DONT WORK LMAO. TLDR this update is only good if ur a PlayStation player but even then they're having issues downloading the patch
I didn’t have too many issues with the update personally. I don’t play on widescreen so that didn’t effect me, but I played a new save for a couple hours and I ended it by thinking “why did they change?” Nothing seemed different to me on pc except for some very long load times. I was also stuck at 55 fps for a lot of it if not all, and on a 3080ti, I feel like I should be higher.
The Fallout London team should as part of the mod installation make a tutorial on how to remove the update, to the version prior to the next gen update. Bethesda will not leave the game alone anymore, for at least one more year, there will be useless (on PC) updates, that will break the mod, over and over again. You cant rely on Bethesda good will in 2024. I hope they do that, the Enderal SE (huge skyrim mod) team did it i think they should do it too.
I agree and was thinking this too. It's not like Fallout London needs/uses any of the new "features" of the update. Just release it and say its only compatible with version X and tell people how to backdate it. If someone knows how to install a mod they will know how to backdate.
@@doctormoobbc and If they put it in the mod installation tutorial, surely everyone can do it
You know what sucks, best case scenario because of the way things are turning out, Fallout will get a spin off from another studio and Elderscrolls will be undercooked and outdated from Bethesda in the late 2020’s. Once again proving it’s a real struggle being an ES fan.
In the short term, it would be great to give someone the right to make a sideline Fallout game, but the one problem is that some of the magic of Fallout is finite. The music for example, they use real world licensed music that has an early 50s style to it. You can only mine so much of it before you run out. They already re-use some music on in-game radios.
I never once had problems with downtown Boston, but now it’s so unplayable at maybe 5 frames
I managed to get all my mods working again except for the ones reliant on F4SE. took a few hours though!
I can't wait for modders to fix all their mods, then having bethesada update the next gen update to fix the things they broke, breaking the mods again prolly cause they hate us
BGS Fallouts are not RPGs. They're theme park rides. NV is one of the best RPGs of all time.
The future of Fallout is looking bad if Bethesda thinks that creation club content is worthy of being base-game content in its current state.
MS/Bethesda clearly didn't expect the Fallout TV series to be as good as it is, or at least being this well received. If they're in a pinch, MS wouldn't even require the Obsidian devs do the actual full-time dev-ing of a Fallout game. Microsoft can go the route of re-assembling the OG F1 and 2 senior devs, engaged either full-time or consultant group, working on controlling/guiding/advising pre-dev and approval process with a studio that is competent. Make us a CRPG at med to med-high budget, no need for a super huge open world, keep it tight and well curated, the top down view additonally keeps it distinct from Bethesda's entries. I wouldn't expect much any time soon, at best, even if they start now, I expect a minimum 5 year dev period.
The last Bethesda game I cared about was Skyrim. They haven't released a game of that quality since imo.
Bethesda actually hates making games at this point with how messed up the update is. What is GOING ON with them? They can't make new games and they suddenly can't update games. (It's a good thing I kept my Fallout 4 GOG download, I'm personally only checking out the next-gen fix in console version)
Agree, over the course of the next 2 years we should get FO3 remaster, a FONV remaster AND the announcement of a full New Vegas style side game from another studio, if not also a remake of the original Fallout too.
The game deleted 90% of my camps that was made of base game workshop stuff including the container I was keeping all of my loot.
I went to open my new update and found that my menu scrolls at a million miles per second. It's like rolling roulette to try and get to the correct selection. Then, when I finally was able to get into the game, both characters' speech animations were moving like they were on crack but the audio was fine. I didn't get any farther. I exited to desktop and I'll wait for the professionals to upload their fixes to Nexus.
31:19 no, the obsidian ceo made it clear in 2018 that Bethesda had spoiled the idea of it with bad deals. Obsidian has no ill will with Bethesda, but they don’t want to work with them again.
For some people on ps 5 and 4 If you got fallout 4 Through playstation plus they want you to buy the Nextgen Update
I'm just waiting for Fallout London to be my go ahead flag that enough mods are working to play it again.
On PC and haven't had any problems as yet. The mods I care about still function fine, but they were unlikely to break (unless they massively reworked the item framework). But with a basic 60fps monitor, that's to be expected. To remake/remaster New Vegas, it would have to be in the creation engine using existing Fallout assets. There's pretty much no way they could ground-up create everything in a reasonable time-frame. Remember that to make NV in 18mths, they pulled heavily from existing Fo3 systems and assets. What you said about sandbox is possibly right, and probably why I got a lot out of Fo76. It was just an open sandbox where I could wander round, loot stuff, and build a silly house. Likewise, why the subsequent expansions haven't drawn me back in. I enjoyed being in appalachia. I don't want to go to another sandpit.
Unless it's the 2 mods I have installed (pretty small ones), it doesn't run great on the Xbox right now. It feels pretty choppy, and gets bad in combat. At least in quality mode. I was switching between to see if there was even a difference (not really). It feels a little smoother on performance, but doesn't really look it. Quality mode also just makes colors pop veeeerry subtly. It basically just looks like they turn down the brightness a tiny bit.
A lot of people have said “well they didn’t say we were gonna get a visual overhaul or anything” but bro… if Sony said “hey we’re making a next-gen patch for [whatever end-of-ps4-gen game]” then sure, everybody would think it’s a 60fps update. But saying “next gen patch” in the case of a 9 year old game… a glorified 60fps patch just ain’t gonna cut it. At least fix a heckton of bugs and add like a global illumination thing or something. The Fallout show had to have been in production for at least a year or two… just port the damn thing over to CE2
I started playing Fallout 4 for the first time. 1. Which mods do you recommend for me to try? 2. Can I install a mod without losing my savefile of my base version of the game?
I believe they intentionally released the update to cause issues, similar to what happened with fall out 3. They were aware that Fallout London was on the horizon. Todd Howard probably didn't want to repeat the same mistake with New Vegas, so he gave the go-ahead to release the update without properly addressing any potential problems. It's a devious move, if you ask me.
Bethesda getting the fallout from the Fallout update.
I had to jump through hoops to get it running on the OLED deck. Had to bring back the launcher and perform a fix for the half frame rate bug. Got it running and it feels alright.. then realized the keyboard support is broken and any time I close the steam deck keyboard the game crashes. Can’t get past the vault tec rep. I’m just gonna uninstall, it’s exhausting Todd
It's like every Bethesda launch and update is duct taped together. It's like the whole, "we'll fix it in post" thing except the we isn't Bethesda, it's the mod community.
I’m new to fallout an playin fallout 4 I’m just curious should I download mods or wait for a second play through like play vanilla or vanilla with mods an what mods r like a must I play on Xbox
Honestly, you may as well mod it. The game is fun for a few hours, but it story is nothing impressive. My advice is look up and install Sim Settlements 2 by Kinggath. You'll never look back.
One way to kill time before Fallout 5 is to play through Fallout 3 200 times, so you can see all the endings.
It's amazing how gullible and easy to please some people are ! "wow a 9 year old game runs so much better on the latest consoles" meanwhile we had CDPR performing jaw dropping magic tricks in comparison and there's people who dare claim "it's just ok" because they don't want to admit that BGS have been overshadowed by (close to) the whole gaming industry !
I grew up on Bethesda rpgs (Oblivion, skyrim, fallout 3, NV (obsidian)) are all in my top 10. Fallout 3 is my GOAT (mostly nostalgia related). It’s sad to see a company I adored fall so far and now just don’t give AF about us fans anymore. It’s really unbelievable how little they care about or listen to us and how much they straight out lie to us.
Honestly, I expected it to be shit so hard that I read-only'd the install folder, routinely unscheduled the update, and eventually found a way to meddled with depot numbering so that Steam stopped trying to update my install. Still got my modlist, still got my saves, I can breathe.
Making me glad that I just kept my old install on an external. I was able to just plug it in and run. All my old mods still work fine, even got a few new ones, old versions of them of course. By the way, I fully believe this was 90% done to mess with the Fallout London guys.
I'm playing on PS5, the only problem I have had so far is when I press start the game freezes for 5-20 seconds before the start menu shows up.
Took the words out of my mouth, pretty bold of Bethesda to assume I even want Fallout 5 developed from them.
I'm convinced Bethesda has no idea how popular this franchise is.
Fall out 4 is better now than it was when its first 1-2 years. This is before the mountain of mod tools you need. They did a big recent update to sky rim that disabled everything that took years to build.
If anyone is curious I got v-sync disabled. I'm not sure exactly what fixed it or if it was a mix of a few things but this is what I did. Did the usual nvida control panel stuff, turning it off there. Did the Ini edit to turn off v-sync in both the fo4 ini & the fo4prefs ini,. No change just with that... BUT you have to play it in fullscreen mode now, windowed does not unlock it. Unmodded, before the update I was getting around my max fps for my 144hz monitor with some hitches downtown Boston. After the update and in fullscreen with v-sync disabled I was back to full fps but downtown did seem to preform better, from what I did experience while running around I didn't notice any hitches... But of course unmodded you still have to limit your fps to around 60 because physics are still tied to fps :(
Ps5 runs pretty good. I’m enjoying the 60 FPS gameplay. I wish they would have updated the textures and lighting, but I didn’t expect that Bethesda would do that for free.
I launched it, I'm on AMD and the 3D V cache might be doing some heavy lifting to smooth things out. I'll be waiting for the F4SE update since I want to use my mod loadout. I'm under no delusion about Bethesda games and the fact that they require mods to tease out the best game in some way. The Cyberpunk team and Gabe wanted to show a "You thought it was good before, hold my beer" moment. Bethesda doesn't seem to have the drive to impress anymore. If you want to see what level of gameplay Cyberpunk 2077 can do my favorite person is Benjamin Winters. He has uncut videos of gameplay that make me think it is the Matrix. Without the love that CDPR has put in, we wouldn't get this and since Bethesda doesn't love their games anymore we can't get something like that with their games. Here's a thought. Arkane with UE5 or hell even a heavily modified DOOM engine. Microsoft is not going to care about licensing fees.
this is EXACTLY why i didnt allow my fallout4 to auto update ... i had a feeling they was gonna drop the ball on PC. all those MODS was never gonna get outdone by BGS update
Can someone let me know what would be the best version and edition of fallout 4 that i could acquire through ... torrents or similar... that isn't broken and just as good if not better then this update
I watched the whole video, Luke, and hit the like button! Good job!!!
To me, the “next gen update” is Fallout 5. Until then, I’ll use the existing FO4 version
Bethesda also intentionally does not offer an option to keep the previous version (the one where all the mods work). A very anti consumer behavior. They can even make additional money by forcing those players to buy another copy on GOG, just to be able to have a working old version.
First playthrough here and I was waiting for the next gen update for this reason. I'm playing on PC and had more than several crashes. Also, I've been looking at gameplay pre-update and I'm confused what did they update.
I think a Fallout game like survival horror will be cool just like resident evil and last of us
My game was completely fine until the update on Xbox Series X. I stay away from mods, not a single one installed, and it destroyed my games' stability. Also, if they redo NV, they need to revamp the combat
You need to name and shame those companies because they're taking advantage of the decorum that ordinary, non sociopathic people have trying to be respectful.
I've noticed you say that in Starfield, each planet has 3 POI's but this isn't correct. If you go further and further along each sandbox that each planet tile is, you'll find up to like 12 or 13 or 14 different POI's. Do you know how many of them are repeats? I'll leave it at that. If it was just 3 POI's per planet it'd be a little better because than you check em out, see nothing is there and then leave but the game wants you to push further and when you do, you see all these POI's and you realize all but maybe 1 or 2 are completely pointless, mainly because you've seen them already. It's even worse than you believe it to be.
when my dad died in 2016, i spent the entire year and then some in fallout 4. i have almost 30 days of my life in it. i modded the hell out of it. i built fully working cities, had an army of minutemen, thousands of modded clutter and decorations scattered across almost every settlement in one form or another. all of that's gone now, thanks to the next gen update. i can't even open my main original save. To say that i'm devastated wouldn't begin to cover it.
that really, really blows :/ i’m sorry man
I sank 600ish hours into FO4 when it initially launched - this “update” isn’t enough to make me go back.
I agree. I think they should let someone else pickup the IP.
@@andrewpriestnall1675 why did you reply to yourself lmao
The loading screens have not been fixed either. They are still very long. It is shameful.
A free update that was probably delayed that came out still broken. Bethesda, Bethesda Never Changes...
BGS has like 400 employees and i bet none of this stuff ever gets fixed. Something is seriously wrong over there.
The weird and baffling thing is, for FO76 and Starfield you might be able to give them a bit of a pass for biting off more than they can chew. But a FO4 update? This is making me lose any remaining good will I have for Bethesda.
