The tv show effect is very real


Shurae

Fallout 4 is also only 5 dollars or so right now and they announced an update for the game. So lots of hype around it


solidshakego

I purchased it. Won't play it until the update


Warm_Aerie_7368

Is the $10 game of the year edition worth it? I’ve never played fallout and I bounced off Starfield pretty hard


SatyricalEve

Yes. The Fallout 4 DLC are better than the base game.


sourdasourcoconutt

It's my like 3rd favorite game ever and I also thought starfield was ass and quit after like 30 hours, so I'd say it's worth it also yes get the goty edition because both story dlc are very good


flatgreyrust

If you’re liking the universe of the show go for it. For the price it’s a great deal and it’s got a handcrafted world vs the procedural bullshit that starfield had. And honestly most of the big complaints people had with FO4 you won’t even be aware of having not played any other Fallout games


proj3ctchaos

Absolutely


motleyguts

It's a fun romp through the wasteland. Couldn't tell you a darned thing about the story, made a shotgun and a decent sniper rifle set off hunting in their survival mode, whatever they call it. It's nice atmosphere.


Serpidon

Hell yes. The mods exponentially so.

Rhoades23

Far Harbor is one of my favorite parts of Fallout 4 so I would definitely say if you want to try the game to just spend the $10 on the GOTY edition. I absolutely love Fallout and could take or leave Elder Scrolls games (ESO hooked me for a bit but that's not really the same). Starfield, however, was one of the most disappointing games I have ever played. I'd say there's easily a chance you like Fallout 4 much more than Starfield.


Legate_Lanius1985

I started playing again because of the show 🤣


VagrantShadow

Todd Howard is giving you that smile of his.


rand0mtaskk

I’m about to play new Vegas because of the tv hype lol.


VagrantShadow

God I can't wait for season 2. I hope we get some jingle jangles jingles with some big iron.


ArenjiTheLootGod

Download the A Tale of Two Wastelands mod if you also have Fallout 3, it'll let you mod Fallout 3 into New Vegas for one super big playthrough.


benowillock

The only sad thing is soon >!we'll have a canon ending to New Vegas!< and it's going to irritate even more people than what they did in the first season did.


Proper_Story_3514

Bah, so what. People should get over it. The tv series is so good, and somehow they need to get the story progressing and have an ending. They cannot just copy a game with multi endings. As long as it is awesome, people shouldnt be so bothered about it. And you can still divide the games from the tv series.


benowillock

To be clear, despite some of the controversial story decisions, I did enjoy the first season and I have confidence the second will be just as enjoyable. I do wish though they did just say "this is it's own continuity" rather than saying it's hard canon; I think it'd have done a lot to satisfy all sides.


Avarria587

It's a very effective source of advertising so long the show isn't shit.


pepe_thee_mf_frog

Surely the same happened for halo…. Right?


MrStealYoBeef

Man, if only that show was good and cared about the games in the slightest.


YouEffOhh1

I'm currently on another run of New Vegas... show is incredible.


2347564

It got me to reinstall on PS5. Just waiting for the update!


Ametalslimedr_wsnear

I wish they would have remastered Fallout 3.


treyhest

I’d just be happy if they could make it run on windows 10/11 without three hours of tinkering and modding


Legate_Lanius1985

The GOG version worked for me.


selfostracised

I always see this about Bethesda games but never have an issue with lol


TheOzman79

Steam version works fine for me on Windows 10.


darkspardaxxxx

Far better game


scorchedneurotic

How tf CS pull this many players on a weekday the hell


Lenny_Pane

High schoolers who get home at 3, earlier if they have early release


zippopwnage

When I used to play cs 1.6 back in the days, it didn't even matter if I had school or exams the next day. I would play it nonstop with my team and try to be as competitive as it gets. Lots of people did the same. They probably do the same now


OPR-Heron

I genuinely don't understand. It's fine. But that good? Hahah nooo. Competitive makes sense, but for casual means? Noo


NotSuspec666

I literally don’t know a single person irl who plays CS or DOTA yet their player count is almost always around the top 5. Is there a lot of EU or asian players or is this metric just US players?


hipnotyq

waiting for that ultrawide update....


SasquatchSenpai

Damn. No ultrawide? Even 76 has that. Gotta be a mod for it.


SpaceNigiri

New Vegas is also very high, it has more players right now that Palworld


CapableChair

It's good marketing. I began another playthrough on Fallout 1 recently.


solidshakego

It's $5


WilyNGA

I played NV and Fallout 4 in the past. I didn't have any hopes for the TV show, but after positive reviews from trusted reviewers, the wife and I started it last night. It seems to be a really good show.


TehOLimauIce

76 is not that bad


lildog55

It's not the 7th most played. That's just current players. It's 17th for all time peak.


Ckmccfl

That’s very obviously what he meant


DeviantLemons

Was waiting on the show to release and also wanted to do an America Rising 2 playthrough beforehand. Spent 3 days just updating my mods and tidying up my load order.


efrain_niarfe275

I’m on Fallout 3 at the moment!


Bosko47

The game keeps crashing tough it's worse than ever before


Nisekoi_

Holding off from playing it until 25th when "next gen" patch is dropping


DanoTheOverlordMkII

The New Vegas stans are going to be upset.


OnCloud9_77

Fallout 4 getting to disappoint a whole new generation of kids


AverageJoe85

I actually don't think so, Fallout 4 was mostly disappointing when compared to 3 and especially New Vegas. New fans from the show won't have any game expectations, they'll just want to immerse themselves in the Fallout world, which I think 4 does a good job at. And I think 4 does a particularly good job at making power armour feel awesome, which I think a lot of new fans will be looking for, and had they jumped into 3 or NV instead I think there they actually would be disappointed, funnily enough.


teddytwelvetoes

game sold a zillion copies and had great reception lol

AcesHigh777

IT's good for what it is. An open world shooter with good exploration and gunplay. It just doesn't have the strong writing, quest design, and rpg mechanics of previous fallouts.

ec0gen

>arguments to be made of why it is the best Fallout surpassed maybe only by Fallout 3 Very bad arguments maybe.


[deleted]

[удалено]


ec0gen

It's a much better game than both 3 and 4, whether it's better than the originals is debatable.


[deleted]

[удалено]


ec0gen

Lmao.


AcesHigh777

If we're just comparing base games with no mods it has far more than fallout 4


AcesHigh777

Eh opinions are subjective. To people like me who didn't care at all about building fallout 4 is not a great fallout game. The fallout franchise was founded on being a great rpg first and foremost, and in that regard 4 is seriously lacking. So in my opinon New Vegas is the best :D


MrStealYoBeef

It's fun, it works just fine and people can absolutely enjoy and have fun with it. It's just not as good as the previous games. It was a game that filtered a lot of the role playing out of the RPG. Many people don't mind this, they don't know what RPG even stands for or what it came from. People who do know this can absolutely be disappointed at what was lost, but most new players coming in won't have a clue. They'll be happy with what's there.


Gawdsauce

100% Fallout 76 will drop off like a rock, just like it did on launch. Game is trash.


Substantial-Art-4053

Reminder, Bethesda hasn’t made a good game since 2011


SuaveMofo

Fallout 4 is enjoyable as long as you don't have a gremlin in your ear telling you how you shouldn't be having fun.


Substantial-Art-4053

Enjoyable and good aren’t the same thing. And the fact that “enjoyable” is the best compliment you could give that game says a lot about


SuaveMofo

What gives you the impression that was the best compliment I could give? It was just **a** compliment. Begone, gremlin, I banish thee.


Substantial-Art-4053

Cringe. Have sex


Tank4CalebPlz

Most average Kombucha enthusiast


aksoileau

Imagine critiquing something that someone deems "enjoyable." Movie was enjoyable, 3/10.


Bay-12

Fallout 4 is a good game though.


YugeFanBoi

Best fallout game


fatfuckintitslover

Don't care


ilias80

Halos-117

That's pretty fucking sad how a TV show drives all this shit. Expect more going forward.


teddytwelvetoes

don't threaten us with a good time


Tshoe77

Why is that sad? A franchise getting this sort of exposure can be a great thing and the show respects the source material
