EFMS - History of Fallout

The game is great, the only trouble during our enjoyment time is the lagg/latency then the bugs that crash/freeze the game/system...

Bleh, good times though!

Good job with the history..

Given how well put together the other games in the series are, I can certainly understand the negativity toward "Brotherhood of Steel," but I honestly really enjoy that one.  Still.  It had the attitude and atmosphere of other installments, but just played like more of an action game than a strategic turn/grid-based rpg or a first-person exploration adventure.

When I get a faster computer to play on, I can't wait to dive farther into Fallout 3 and New Vegas, though.  I wanted those many years ago when they came out, and now that I have them on Steam, really looking forward to seeing where they go.

Fallout has been such a great series.  Bethesda is a machine.

Danny, I think these shows that you do may be the best shows about gaming ever made. I love watching them.

About this one... not sure if you mentioned it, but there was a Fallout MMO in development by Interplay for the longest time. Even after they sold the IP.

Also, I think New Vegas has the largest amount of mods ever made for a game (although Skyrim will soon overtake that).  Neverwinter Nights is also high up there... but I think New Vegas surpassed it.

Nowadays I spend more money than ever before on games. Yet despite that, 99% of the time I end up playing mods for old games. Good mods take years to make, but always surpass the quality of  original games.

I loved all the games. I grew up playing the first two. Years after, when 3 came out, I didn't know what to expect, but it blew me away. I can see why others would have issues with it, but for me, it was just amazing. Exploring abandoned vualts in first person, sifting through empty bottles and cans for loot. Yeah, games don't do looting like fallout 3 and NV (Except for TES). Played all of them on PC, and never had major issues with bugs. So my overall experience with the Fallout series is damn near perfect. I'm all for new and innovative games, but when it comes to a new fallout, I'll take it any day. 

Watching this is like watching myself grow from a third person perspective, great game franchise and great show

"Chances are you're probably going back to give it another shot right now."

O_o That's freaky man. I had my steam games list pulled up to re-install New Vegas right as he said that.

war never changes it just adjusts

Awesome 

I love New Vegas! I want another Fallout!!

So. Damn. Good.

Great video, thanks :D

The reason why so many fallout fans hate Bethesda? Bethesda may do many things good, graphics, beautiful worlds, etc etc. However their games notoriously have sallow characters and lacking in atmosphere (I hated 100's of 2 sentences characters with 3-4 voice actors) severe game unbalances. You can't blame these to engine' errors etc. While Interplay and Blackisle's game were quite deep and had compelling stories (Baldur's gate 1-2, fallout 1-2 etc) complex game mechanics. So it is like whole 2 different game.

I wish game could be both good looking and more have context. well if not, there is still modding community thankfully 

"The random encounters you'd have on the map..." Zing!

So what shall it be? Do you join the Unity or do you die here?Join! Die! Join! Die!

Great episode!  Fallout is my fav series, been playing since the original!

Bethesda did a good job buying that frunchise. Now it looks more advanced.

In my opinion, Fallout is the best game series of all time

Great episode! I find myself eager to watch videos when I see Danny in it. I find his shows very entertaining. Still miss Start/Select though.... :(

Anyways awesome job Danny!!!

Fallout is my all time favorite! Visit http://callofdutygh0sts.blogspot.com/ to get beta access to COD:Ghosts! PS3, Xbox 360, PC all available to play now!

Great watch again! Thanks!

I start 3 weeks off work tomorrow, and planned to get 3 weeks solid studio time in... then i watched this... blacked out, then realised I just installed NV for another play through! Nice one Danny! ;-)

Another fine day in this man's army...

I loved Fallout 3, and decided to trade in my copy of it to get the GOTY Edition when it came out. Then I found out that the game is completely fucking broken and freezes often enough that it's practically unplayable. I held out for a patch, but it never came because Bethesda simply doesn't give a flying fuck about it's customers. NEVER buying another Fallout product ever again.

And as of today, I am still waiting for a Fallout 4...

I love the exploration of Fallout. Whether you come across a giant city littered with problems or a small den with a few corpses and a secret backstory, it's always interesting to explore the wasteland.

I really can not wait until the next Fallout. I'm holding my breath for an E3 announcement.

Well it's going to be interesting to see what Brian Fargo will do with the 3 million dollars fans gave him for his wasteland 2 project... As a fan of the original isometric system, I believe that Fargo will deliver a well told story, with deep involved characters and a great expanding open world game... Don't get me wrong, I like FO3 and FO NV, but as a fan of the original games I would have liked to see a game updated to be more similar to "The Fall: Last Days of Gaia" or something similar. I love Oblivion, and that's the reason I thought the capital wasteland was amazing. As long as they keep telling great stories, We've got nothing to fear from bethesda....

Who stared singing along at 0:44 ? xD

Funny, I once more started Fallout NV last week and this gets posted :)

Informative and entertaining.

Lmao @ 2:37 You know what classics get? Sequels!! Truer words were never spoken.

Awesome games Fallout 3 n New Vegas. Im waiting for the Fallout 4 in the greatest graphics ever, for new xbox and ps4... *-*

Best showand the best game .

Ahhhhh, memories.  Good times, good times.

love fallout music 

My favorite, Fallout 3. Such a great game for virtually any type of player, and the one that got me back into gaming. The beautiful post-apocalyptic setting, open world, and lots of interaction with interesting characters.

My only hope is that Bethesda doesn't tinker too much with the gameplay or theme in the next one. Just update the graphics, reduce bugs, keep VATS, and maybe give me a four-wheeler.

I played the first Fallout and loved it. It had a lot great little mini-stories. If you went to the wrong area though you'd get obliterated. It was better than diablo, which I was playing at the time.

Fantastic episode Danny. What is the tracklisting for the music in this episode; its really sweet!

You should do an episode for the Commandos series.
Good ep too
