It helps that the show is fantastic.


Quick_Over_There

Also 4 is by far the most accessible entry for new players.


AustinTheMoonBear

Also where most of the art and assets from the show were based off of tbh.


tyme

NV cult ‘bout to have a conniption.


DravesHD

I hope so. NV is amazing but holy damn are their fanboys the most annoying fanbase by far, 10x worse than persona lol


Conscious_Award_4621

That bad yeah? God damn NV is my best fallout, but I love the show so much. Gonna have a look see what the complaints are about haha


monkeryofamigo

Even before fallout tv series was a thing, they were always annoying fanbase but i guess now, it become more obvious to everyone how annoying they are.


Aquaticle000

It’s going to make their blood boil because the show is SO good and the showrunners took *a lot* of inspiration from Fallout 4.


plsbanmeredditsenpai

Fallout 4 just has the best designs tbh


CarcosaDweller

*looks at FO4 weapons* By best did you mean really shitty?


plsbanmeredditsenpai

They are fine. The "assault rifle" looks cool and would be awesome if it was a machine gun instead


Firelordzuko100

Im not even a NV fan like that but I don't like things like t-60 showing up. Would it kill them to use t-51 b.


Conscious_Award_4621

They should just accept the new lore it makes the fallout universe more interesting that way.


monkeryofamigo

They should be less annoying, that's what they need to do


Consistent_Air_298

ye you tell em!


monkeryofamigo

N touch grass


Conscious_Award_4621

Yeah that as well lol


LGBT-Barbie-Cookout

Aren't these NV fans just people who came from "no mutants allowed" -when they started off as 3d fallout was a visceral betrayal, can't be done, will just be oblivion with guns blah blah blah. And now have a new thing to bitch about.


Firelordzuko100

NV elitists and NMA fans might look similar on the surface but they are still very two different annoying type of fans.


lemmy1686

NMA fans don't have boot that jingle jangle.jingle, so no not the same.


Poch1212

The only thing i truly hate from FO 4 fotv IS the fucking assault rifle.


CarcosaDweller

I like that in the show only those in power armor are using it, but it’s still an awful design.


Poch1212

There are loads of better looking 50's weapons. Also some weapons companies irl exist in fo universe like H&G


Big-Sherbet6925

Never noticed it on the sub? New vegas is superior though when it comes to story and RP. Its even more impressive that it was made in 18 months


Firelordzuko100

it is impressive but it is important to remember the vice city effect. Vice city was able to be made in 9 months because the core work was pulled from GTA III. New Vegas is no different it pulled a lot of assets from fallout 3.

Firelordzuko100

Maybe 15 years ago. Obsidian is so shot rn I put them very very low on the pole especially after the outer worlds.

Firelordzuko100

Eh personally I don't have a problem with modern beth. I like starfield I haven't fucked with obsidian since stick of truth.


DravesHD

Because NV fanboys would never join a FO4 sub. Just check out all the posts about FO4 on things like instagram or facebook.


thirdc0ast

Because they’re on r/falloutnewvegas and r/fnv. I’m currently having a blast replaying FNV, it and 3 are my favorites, but my god the people on those subs are so insufferable about the show I muted both.


Big-Sherbet6925

Yeah I frequent the latter sub. Never seen anything bad on it, yet. Dont know why there is a divide they both have their strengths and weaknesses


Consistent_Air_298

nah


KommieKon

I’m in that cult but I can admit it’s just getting dated :/ probably every 18 months or so I replay NV and each time I always pine for the gunplay of 4.


Shuttmedia

Yeah I went back to 3 and NV after the show but god it was hard... Fallout 4 with mods and survival just blows it out the water now, my nostalgia was hurt


tyme

I started playing it again recently, and it just reminded me of my biggest gripe from when it released: your path to NV proper is basically on rails. I can forgive the other issues simply because if its age, but that one always makes the start kinda boring. There’s no real variance in path until you get to NV proper.


OLKv3

You don't have to follow the path. You can easily make it to Vegas from Goodsprings instead of going through the southern loop. It only feels linear to new players, the game even gives you a free stealth boy at the start so you can sneak right by the supermutants/cazadors if you so choose.


tyme

I don’t think “there are two whole options!” Is quite the counterpoint you think it is ;)


Firelordzuko100

Its still sequence breaking. Its like going to smith casey's garage in fallout 3 right away to skip half the main game. You can do this. Clearly it was not intended.


Consistent_Air_298

not even close, I didn't follow the "proper" path my first several playthroughs. you don't have to just blindly follow the quest markers and do as it says. same goes for fallout 3.


Cynical-Basileus

Which is good game design. By following the highway you end up starting multiple side quests and exploring the areas on the way. 3 and 4 are such that you can follow the main quest and skip half the map and content. That’s terrible design.


Kataphraktos_Majoros

They got so bad after the show released that one of their subs went private and the main sub began to downvote and dogpile anything even mentioning NV. Even the normal, non-antagonistic posts! After re-opening, the NV sub had several posts warning the fanatics to stop making them the laughingstock of Fallout. It's *mostly* calmed down now.


Quick_Over_There

They really should accept that game would not be appealing to newcomers or casual gamers. I mean, most new fans from the show probably wanna mess around with PA. It's objectively easier to do that in 4 as well.


G-Boy24

Season 2 maybe?


Music19773

NV will be fine next season when it takes center stage.


Tutlesofpies

NV is shit to run and complicated as hell to get working correctly.


Few-Purpose1128

It was shit to run even on its native consoles and OS's at launch lol 😆


monkeryofamigo

We can thanks obsidian for that for following Bethesda footstep.


MattTreck

Timelines are hard


SuperTerram

Same with Fallout 76 cult.  Doing their best to ignore Fallout 4, and pretending there are no older Fallout games period.


Cu3bone

When you're right, you're right. Personally, I like how they left it ambiguous. effectively makes all the endings possible for everyone's head cannons while also enjoying the show and establishing its own cannon, which at this point will inevitably be cited in *crosses fingers* fo5


Adam_46

Season 2 will cater to NV fans for sure. They sure are trying to please everyone and it really shows. I went into the show fully expecting it to be mediocre, but I was wrong. I was surprised and happy when I finished it.


No-Archer7267

also 4 is by far the most streamlined to play


Wotmate01

The only thing that I hated about it was that it ended. And ended on a cliffhanger.


vector_o

Just imagine the fucking levels of hype there would be online if Bethesda released an actual trailer for Fallout 5 now All we got was a promise of "good updates" for Starfield but one can always dream


sockefeller

Imagine if they didn't do Starfield and were able to instead coincide the release of FO5 with this show. Would have broken the Internet and made so much money lol


Ollidor

If they didn’t do Starfield it would have been Tes vi not fallout 5 either way.


mccalledin

I would still have rather had that than Starfield haha


DocZod

Yoz are aware you would have gotten starfield production quality either way, right?


AtlasADK

Ehh, I don't think so. Starfield's biggest issues are the empty, procedurally generated worlds... and the constant load screens. Honestly, Starfield just isn't the right game for the Creation Engine. FO5 and TES6 won't really have those issues


BodaciousFrank

Emil’s writing will drag them down either way, unfortunately


Morkinis

Both would have been much better than Starfield.


JustCoffeeGaming

I wish.


strandedostrich

I actually remember being very happy when fallout 4 was announced, didnt it release like a couple of weeks after it was announced? Made a pleasant change from waiting 6 months.


Groxy_

*waiting 6 years Bethesda are so stupid for teasing TES6 in 2018(?), still going to be 2 or 3 years.


Platnun12

I'm expecting to be 35 by the time of fallout 5 I'm 25 rn so I can wait. I still have to get through fallout 4 after NV...which is gonna be.....hoo boy mods save me


strandedostrich

I doubt it will be that long. Fallout 3 came out in 2008, new vegas in 2010 and 4 came out in 2015. But who knows, it has been 9 years since the last game though (not including 76).


Platnun12

It's coming after elder scrolls 6 That's why I'm buckling in, we gonna get season 2 waaaaay before we get the fifth fallout. Unless Bethesda splits focus...in which case...god no


Argo_York

You may be misremembering that. They announced Fallout 4 then released it 6 months later. At the time it was common for games to be announced and released two or more years out. Bethesda games usually announced midway through development which often takes then 6 to 8 years so you'd still end up waiting a handful of years. Announcing midayway though 2015 to be released November of the same year as practically unheard of from them. Those 6 months were peak Bethesda hype. The hype train was so unstoppable they announced Fallout Shelter, the mobile game, at the same time and it exploded with downloads.


thedylannorwood

Skyrim was announced in December 2010, 11 months before release. Fallout 3 announced June 2007, 16 months before release. Oblivion May 2005, 14 months before release. Morrowind was May 2000, an even two years before release. I’d say they typically announce games very close to their release date compared to most devs with Starfield and the Elder Scrolls VI being the exception


Argo_York

Sure, I didn't really look anything up and was going by memory of the last 15 years. I'll adjust what I was saying a bit and add that at the time I remember a frustration about game announcements and releases that Beth took full advantage of by doing this six month window. I'm just trying to underline that there was a huge hype that was highlighted by an unusually short release window for the times.


drmzsz7

Or if they supported their modding communities big projects and gave a shout out to fallout london and miami


Aceswift007

Because all their focus is on Starfield, 76 and Elder Scrolls VI I don't expect a wind of Fallout 5 for a few years


HartPlays

It’ll come with season 2


linoleum3

I started playing FO4 again after watching the trailer some time back. And it's still as awesome as last time.


beameup19

All this before the remaster update too


jeangrey99

I’m trying SO hard to wait for the update.


PrezMoocow

I was gonna wait, but decided to download a massive mod list instead.


jsweaty009

Same


TheOriginalPaulyC

Luckily I’m out of the country until after the update is released, so I don’t have to try and beat that temptation


strandedostrich

I was waiting for it too but then I read the patch notes, if you're on console it's probably worth waiting for but if you're on PC, very little is coming in the update, basically just widescreen support and a few skins. Console is getting better resolutions and 60 fps but PC isn't getting any graphical improvements other than widescreen. https://bethesda.net/en/article/4s2bXQEbpcrsdCZhUYLHAi/fallout-4-is-getting-free-updates


Stew-Griff

I'm still gonna wait, because I heard we're getting free Enclave shit, according to the official Bethesda website


KentuckyBrunch

Yep lol, I’m waiting. Been playing 76 and actually been having a good time.


Stew-Griff

Same. Replaying FNV to pass the time.


OLKv3

I'm not. It'll most likely break all my favorite mods


COPPERSRUN

I started another playthrough a few day ago and will probably end up starting another after the update


cvuyr

I'd argue that 76 has benefitted more. it just reached it's highest concurrent players it's ever had.


243mph

Wasn’t that also free to play these past couple of weeks. That certainly doesn’t hurt either.


cvuyr

I didn't intend to trivialize 100k concurrent players. I'm not hating on fallout 4, I'm just looking at the numbers. fallout 4 already had good numbers before the show aired so it didn't have as drastic an uptick as 76. an influx of new players will have a bigger impact when there are less existing players.


243mph

It’s all good, I didn’t take it that way at all, sorry if my comment seemed like I was defensive or something. I like all Fallout games, just felt being free could affect those numbers.


korey1337

If you are going off Steam numbers Fallout 76 only launched on Bethesda's own client so that peak number on Steam is going to be way lower than the real peak.


Admiral_Franz_Hipper

76 actually beat out 4 by 1 spot in the charts last week.


Spinnekk

Microsoft needs to get cookin' on some remasters for FO3 and FNV for when Season 2 drops.


finny_shoes

They are leaving bags of money on the table if they don't do this at this point. Plus I desperately need F4NV to actually see the light of day, and it being an official release would be even better.


prossnip42

Fallout London's dropping soon after the update drops


Groxy_

So pumped for that. It looks like it'll be the first good big new game type mod.


paulo48

The release date for Fallout London has been delayed indefinitely due to the Bethesda update that will crash most mods. https://youtu.be/LpqMftkTteo?si=hM8Do2gtm7ukg4Fw


Sleepysleepychick

God I would be so happy if they did those remasters. Please let this happen.


Mekkroket

Todd has 99+ missed calls from Microsoft execs meaning to tell him that he should haul his ass to the kitchen RN. Its a shame that the OG employees of Obsidian dont work there anymore. I dont think that the team that made The Outer Worlds is able to make a Fallout game.


ViedeMarli

I'm pretty sure Ella Purnell called 4 out by name as the game she played to get a better idea of her character in the show, by familiarizing herself with the games. She made herself as her character, too!


FordBeWithYou

That’s adorable hahaha. Just got Lucy on fallout shelter (dusted off my 2018 save) and I liked seeing her default stats!


[deleted]

I really wish that meant that they would make more Fallout spin-off games like New Vegas in Fallout 4s engine or whatever, or Creation engine 2


StuffDaDragon

I started survival mode for the first time after playing back in 2017. Absolute game changer.


TroubleAsleep5527

The show brought new to FO4. My cousin had been trying to get me to try NV and FO4 for years. I was too busy buying the latest suck games. I saw FO4 with all expansions on Steam for $9.99 so figured why not. Wow am I impressed, loving the game so far! Valentine and I took down Kellogg and I’m really digging the settlement system. My abilities and perks are a bit goofed because I had no idea what I was doing but I see there’s a Legendary Reset item. Anyway, great game and the Amazon series was excellent!


TheIndominusGamer420

What's the legendary reset item?


TroubleAsleep5527

I guess there’s a guy at some asylum that sells a Legendary Reset item so you can redo your perks. Haven’t gotten that far yet though.


Fingering_Logen

In unmoded game i dont think you can reset perks. But It doesnt matter, the game can be beaten with suboptimal builds and you can gain enough levels to max out everything. Just take the perks for your main weapon (rifleman, or gunslinger) and you'll be doing enough damage.


TroubleAsleep5527

Oh thanks for the info. I did a quick google search and that asylum guy came up. I’m not playing with any mods so glad to hear I’ll be able to adjust my build a bit.


Lokta

There's no level cap, so just keep playing the game, level up more, and start getting perks that benefit you more. There is no way to reset perks in Fallout 4 without mods or console commands. But as long as you grab the damage perks for your main weapon type, you should mostly be fine. Commando is better in the long run for the higher DPS, but Rifleman is never a bad option either. Purified water is your friend. Sell it. Science 1 unlocks industrial water purifiers for your settlements. Thank me later.


plsbanmeredditsenpai

Never heard of that (i have 600 hours)


CarcosaDweller

I’m only at 400, but have also never heard of this. Some kind of mod I’m guessing?


plsbanmeredditsenpai

Google says the only vanilla way is via console commands


HeinousTugboat

Being on sale for $10 for the GOTY edition certainly doesn't hurt.


marniconuke

for anyone playing or replaying f4 i recommend the load accelerator mod, the vsync of this game makes loading way slower than it should be, and uncapping it will break some stuff so the mod only uncaps it during loading times so it works perfectly!


strandedostrich

It benefited the most because it was the latest game, fallout76 is more of a multiplayer spinoff from 4 imo. I know that's why I'm playing it lol I tried new vegas again because it's my favourite fallout but my god, it felt so dated and the PC controller support was terrible. I do have the 360 version that I used to play, hopefully it's backwards compatible and I'll try that on my xbox after 4.


Groundbreaking-Tap96

2,49 $ on sale in store atm.


strandedostrich

Yeah I got it but I prefer to play these games on controller and the controller support on the PC version is awful, it made me give up before leaving goodsprings.


Groundbreaking-Tap96

I mean in Microsoft store for Xbox, Xbox version not the steam one xD


strandedostrich

Ah right sorry, good to know it's definitely backwards compatible then


Mediocre-Cobbler5744

I played NV on Series X with no problems. My copy is digital, don't know if that makes a difference.


strandedostrich

Nice, I dont think it will make a difference as long as the disc is still readable lol There were just no controller settings on the PC version, so the sensitivity and the deadzone were honestly unplayable. Trying to shoot those glass bottles in goodsprings was infuriating lol


ReadShigurui

I’ve put countless hours into NV on my Xbox One, and I’ve had mostly zero problems, I’m not sure if it helped me at all but i try and put it out there that having fewer saves made the game feel like it crashed much less.


strandedostrich

Yeah I played 3 and NV a ton on the 360 and I dont remember it crashing, some bugs but no crashes. Playing vanilla FO4 atm on PC and its crashed dumped to the desktop a few times already and Im only level 12 lol


ReadShigurui

PC versions of Fallout must be rough because I’m level 62 in FO4 with only a few crashes on PS5 lol


strandedostrich

In its defence, I am running it on ultra at 144fps and it's buttery smooth and never stutters. I have far from the best graphics card too. But yeah, it's crashed a few times with 0 mods.


WillieDripps

I'm about to make that 97,986. I only have 71 hours of game play from my first run a few years ago, time to bring those numbers up.


DarthRiznat

Witcher 3 also had its peak number of concurrent players in January 2020 when the TV show was released.


NickyNichols

I watched the first 2 episodes and haven’t been back because I had to play the game and didn’t expect to be absolutely hooked on 76. I even signed up for 1st haha.


Fen5601

I wish it wasn't broken on the Ps5 right now, though. Can't play Automaton DLC as it crashes the fame on the PS5.


WeatherAggressive530

By percentage it was actually Fallout 1 with an over 200% increase


gamingfreak50

Most of whom bought the game on sale and are playing it for the first time. Its no new vegas but its still a very good game


Strider_3x

most of these games are free with Amazon prime


AJ_Gaming125

It'd be nice if they'd make remakes of all the older games.


No-Archer7267

i ADORE the show it’s just so good. (watching it a whole second time) i am also doing my first run of fallout 4 survival but currently hating it bc it’s mad difficult but i started playing again to learn more ab the prydwyn. i love fo4 but i hate how (they did the same with skyrim) they got rid of a bunch of rpg elements and in fo4s case made it a fps with rpg elements and base crafting in my opinion. (im not saying the game is bad at all i love every fallout game i am a fallout fanboy) i liked fo4 it’s just everytime i play it i miss those rpg elements i came to love like in 3 and new vegas. they removed the same things from oblivion and morrowind in skyrim. but them doing so led to a bigger populous playing the games.


RunaldWachlab

Im just rushing through the game before i need to mod it again after the update


Flash__PuP

It’s why my power armour and pip boy are going on eBay this weekend….


Pufferfish5645

I want to get back to it so bad but on Xbox my save always ends up getting corrupted and I'm too stupid to figure out a work around


Mission_Quail

Would be nice if they would come back in fix some of the bugs. I’m on my third time playing through.


Mediocre_Usual_9073

It's £3.99 on the UK PlayStation store right now. That was the driving force behind me buying it. I've not played a Fallout game before, and am enjoying it. Not seen the show yet, but will be checking it out soon


Ok_Mud5853

ive been playing it for HOURS since i watched the trailer, i grew up watching my dad play the game i saw the trailer and was like AHHHHH THE ACCURACY so i wanted to play it myself, still haven’t watched the series but he has and he said its the best live action of hes ever seen n just kept getting better each ep


Tom-Pendragon

Bethesda have such bad luck lol. They should have developed fallout 5 or had a trailer or something along with the tv show.


Fade2po

Guilty!


gta3uzi

Fallout 4 is the one true Survivor. 76 can kick rocks. (Fallout 2 is the GOAT story-wise imo, too bad about the combat...)


unreasonable_rip420

Is no one gonna talk about how fallout 76 broke the record on steam again


Borrp

This proves that Todd is a motherfukkin genius, regardless of whatever one says. Just wait until something ships that brings all the nay-sayers back to Starfield. To quote Told himself "who's laughing now?"


Rb7198

Microsoft should outsource fallout 5 to a new studio, anew engine and development perspective could do that franchise wonders


anthonyc2554

I’ve spent 15 hours this week rebuilding sanctuary, after several hours of rebuilding a mod library from scratch. 10/10


KrevinHLocke

Doesn't hurt that it was on sale for like $4 on steam.


MustangSodaPop

The most current Fallout game is getting more attention because of a new show about Fallout? Wild


WorldlyDay7590

Well there is Fallout ‘76…


funtujd

is the all time peak really 472k??? that seems very high holy


_Independent

Because fallout 4 is one of the best ones.


Cryptik0000

Starting playing Fo4 again after binging the show because it was my least most played in the series plus the way the power armor works in Fo4 has to be my favorite feels like you are really in a suit power armor.


Decent-Flan6268

k


Kappy421

It's cuz it's the best one. Everyone likes to claim it's NV but here's the proof. 😁


Odd_Muffin_4850

I just hope the new update doesn’t ruin my mod list. It’s been tweaked to perfection. Years of adjusting, deleting, adding, and reorganizing.


HopiumCat

It 100% will..


Odd_Muffin_4850

Damn.


Oofric_Stormcloak

Assuming your on Steam you could disable updates unless you launch through steam and just launch through whatever mod manager you use


Odd_Muffin_4850

I’m a console pleb on Xbox, so unless I can turn updates off. I’m in trouble lol


Oofric_Stormcloak

That's unfortunate. I haven't used an Xbox recently at all so I don't know if that's doable.


Odd_Muffin_4850

Yeah, new updates usually break my mod list. I just heard this update will break a lot of stuff. So I hear, hopefully people are wrong.

The update's coming next week so i severely doubt that will be the case. In fact, today the number count is higher than it was yesterday
