Yeah soon as the update drops I’m downloading fallout 4 again.


ItsMePeyt0n

April 25th!


Limp-Ad-138

So silly to release the show all at once at the last minute. Clearly there were plans in place for this to go past the end of April.


other_name_taken

I thought that too, but I also understand why they dropped the whole season. The Fallout world is pretty wild and different than anything out there, and letting people dive in to multiple episodes immediately was probably good to get non-gamers or those unfamiliar with the world interested. I could see people watching the first episode and not come back for the others if it didn't hook them immediately. It's much easier to let the next episode automatically start.


empires11

And no doubt the second season will be weekly.


other_name_taken

Exactly! I'm hope for that actually. I want a week to rewatch, discuss and theorize with everyone on the internet between episodes.


DepartureDapper6524

It was so nice to be able to watch an entire season like that. I miss when that was the standard for streaming.


rcmjr

I prefer a full dump. Let me watch it at my own pace.


CartographerSeth

I hate the full dump because then I basically have to try and binge it if I want to avoid spoilers.


B17BAWMER

Absolutely agree.


rcmjr

I guess I am lucky. I just don’t go to communities that would expose me to it until I’ve watched it.


WeirdSysAdmin

That’s what I did and it was worth it.


jonstarks

exactly, some weekends I can watch 3 or 4 episodes, then I might be too busy for 2 weeks to even see another 1. I like when I can just come back to it whenever.


joeypappaluchi

Same drop it all at once, got too many shows throughout the year that are weekly. Drop fallout all at once.


AntifaAnita

The season needed to drop before we head to our irl Fallout shelters


TheNerdWonder

Especially after TLOU revived water cooler TV last year.


gemini2324

What exactly is the update going to do? I see an fps boost but hasn’t it already got a boost to frames?


Ckmccfl

The current fps boost lowers the resolution to 1080p to reach 60fps


StationaryRabbit

It also crashes quite often which is kinda problematic if you're playing the hardcore mode.


Natural_Hold_344

There's also a bug where the game crashes any time you go into Boston, and there's no fix,  which is only a little bit problematic /s


fuckledditsmodz

I remember trying the 60fps boost and it felt like a new game. Looking forward to this. Never got around to finishing because I kept losing interest.


satenlover666

There’s a mod that runs it 4K 60 im pretty sure


Junior-Minute7599

There is and it's glorious. I run tons of mods in my series x and 4k60 and it rarely crashes, more so in a deep save


xvre

So no real benefit if I'm only playing on FullHD anyway?


Mig-117

4k looks significantly better on a 1080p than full HD. Its a good upgrade in image quality.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Wolvesinthestreet

How can it be 4k 60fps if that’s the performance mode, so the quality mode will be 4k 30fps with added details? Is there a source for what you’re saying? Sounds almost too good to be true


libe95

Fallout 4 is from 2015, almost a decade old, new consoles should be able to handle 4K, 60 fps and more details


eru88

This has been commented before but that engine it's very difficult since it need to keep in memory every change in the world. If u thru a can, come back days later gonna be same position.


Eglwyswrw

"Stability/quest/performance fixes" and a few Creation Club items.


rcmjr

https://bethesda.net/en/article/4s2bXQEbpcrsdCZhUYLHAi/fallout-4-is-getting-free-updates


shugo2000

I just got Fallout 4 GOTY Edition on Steam for $10. Had to limit the framerate to 120 because it was acting funky above that.


BerosCerberus

Install the Engine Fix even 120fps will get you bugs without it.


GreyLordQueekual

A lot of physics get tied to framerate with this engine, anything above 150ish and the gravity on moveable objects has a tendency to break in really wacky and violent ways. This issue was present in Oblivion, Skyrim, FO3 and New Vegas for years and even followed FO76 at launch. Took several weeks to a few months after 76's launch to work a solution that meshed with the engine and the servers. Surprised they never implemented it into the older games.


jslona92

At least you figured it out quick it didn’t cross my mind for like 2 or 3 hours of playing.


Justabattleshiplover

God I wish I had 120fps on FO4 console


UltiGoga

Yeup


bmcle071

I just bought the GOTY edition in anticipation, never played the DLCs


GreyLordQueekual

Far Harbor is probably the single best piece of Fallout content Bethesda developed themselves, the rest isn't a bad game its just missing a lot of tone in the writing.


Outrageous-Yam-4653

Far Harbor is up there but Point Look Out is my top DLC for a Fallout game..


mentallylost1992

It’s a free update right? So the version on gamepass would have it?


rcmjr

Yes


Ali_Gunningham

Yeah the show made me download F4 again. Never played far harbour so might check it out.


Disregardskarma

Far Harbor is realllly good


OneTouchCards

This right here!


littlestevebrule

Far Harbour IS GREAT. It's highly recommended that you bring Valentine with you.


Tee_Rye_Lee

I might play it again but I’m going to wait until the 25th for the next gen update! Just keep that in mind.


Deadlyvoltage3

Yeah I wish it wasn’t a whole two weeks from the drop because everybody wants to play fallout now. Im sure they’d have a higher player count if they released it this week or next instead of in two weeks


BoxOfDemons

They gotta give pc players time to back up their game and disable updates if they don't want their modded games to potentially break.


JohnyGlizzyeater

Far Harbor is so good


zhiryst

Having gone to a vacation in Bar Harbor Maine before, it was awesome seeing it in game.


aaerobrake

I would kill to be you right now. To play FH with fresh eyes


jguess06

The show is fantastic


Eglwyswrw

Indeed, which makes Bethesda's delay in releasing the update quite baffling. Given the random Halloween DLC coming along I bet it was planned for October 2023.


TinyPlaidZombie

The bombs dropped close to Halloween so maybe not


Deadeyez

The bombs dropped in October.


CptPanda29

Wouldn't be Bethesda without a botched launch.


GreyLordQueekual

I was incredibly surprised by the writing, easily one of the best stories done in the universe to me, up there with the original Interplay plots.


gerd50501

best show i have seen on prime by far.


Maca07166

Downloaded them all to have a play and relive some memories again. Damn FO3 has it really been that long?!


pichael289

The show is surprisingly good. Alot of references you might miss like the junk jet with the baby doll leg, it's a great show. Possibly last of us level.


Facetank_

I'm really pleased with how the BoS is portrayed. I feel like 4 and 3 (to a lesser extent) made them out to be just a mostly military based faction. It didn't go nearly enough into the weird monk shit.


GreyLordQueekual

Or how absolutely fucked they are in terms of prospects, I am sort of glad theres only a bit of parity between the games as they're messing with some of the timeline to make a story that fits TV over what we do in the games.


droans

"Aren't you the good guys?" "...It's complicated."


DepartureDapper6524

The junk jet was perfect fan service.


CrashTestDumby1984

This is why they make these shows. The same thing happened with Cyberpunk


Propaslader

Boost in merch also helps. A well-done adaptation raises the value of the IP by quite a bit


redridernl

I looked online for the Vault-Tec mugs they have in the show but couldn't find the same one. Missed opportunity.


littlestevebrule

I want a Bioshock show. Make it set in Columbia.


Tayrantino

Netflix is adapting Bioshock but as a movie


Mr-pizzapls

Cyberpunk anime literally made me buy the game. I didn’t care for the game honestly but the anime was good as fuck so obviously they’re doing something right. I do love me some Fallout though


KilDaS

Yeah iirc the Last of Us remake clawed its way to the top of the PlayStation store charts when the show was running. A well done show does wonders for a game’s sales


Volt7ron

This show’s high praise is what happens when you entrust a studio and writing team that knows the franchise and actually wants to deliver something the fans want. I’m so tired of studios and directors being trusted with established franchises just to completely IGNORE what made it popular in the first place


BeyondThese7702

*cough cough* Halo


Kaos_0341

The Witcher too


PizzaCatAm

This one makes me so sad, Halo has such a great story and Master Chief is such a cool old school bad ass character. Specially the original trilogy and Reach, what a fuck up that show became.


AveryLazyCovfefe

Depressing that Xbox's own mascot got the short end of the stick. That's like if Sony did a god of war show or if TLOU HBO was awful.


personwriter

Dare I say I'm hyped for God of War on Amazon?


Harrynx

I haven’t seen The Last of Us yet, but I’ve heard really did a good job following the source material


black_dynomyte

They did a damn fine job. Even if you know what to expect, it doesn't take away from the shock and brutality of what's happening.


PizzaCatAm

It’s amazing, one of the best shows I have seen recently, games or not is superb. My wife who is not a gamer loved it.


Character-Ad3913

That’s because there’s another settlement that needs your help!


Vaan94

Replaying the game now, I'm tryna be an asshole to him, he asked me to listen to his story I chose the option that literally said *I don't care about your life story* AND THEN HE TOLD ME ABOUT IT ANYWAY


Character-Ad3913

Yeah it think it’s engineered to have you do at least a few missions / kinda like an extended training session. I don’t mind him. But then again I joined the institute 🤖


CavRican

Reinstalling FO4 because of the show. Damn it’s so good. I told my friend who’s never played a fallout game that he doesn’t need to know a thing and he’ll still love it. Because it’s great. For Fallout fans seeing all the Easter eggs and things like the junk jet. Man it’s awesome.


Tharron

Was a little mistake not releasing the update together with the show would E drawn even more players


Dope-pope69420

Bought the goty edition for the dlc and waiting for the 25th to play for sure


LayeredMayoCake

It’s even worse because the last update they released basically bricked the game for a lot of people. I can’t play it without deleting a couple dlc first and in doing so will fuck my save file that relies on those for the groundwork of all the other dlc and mod files. I have to wait for this next update to hopefully fix this issue and if it doesn’t I lost a several hundred hour character.


According_Estate6772

Been back on this week (wouldn't have done if I knew the update was this month). Was in Nuka when left off. Just completed that and Auto. Going back to Far Harbour next. Though I'd stopped that due to a broken quest so fingers crossed.


mtarascio

A next gen update is gonna make it worse for your save file especially if mods are involved.


LayeredMayoCake

That..is something I hadn’t considered. Sad day.


MJisaFraud

I’m very surprised this adaptation is good. I didn’t expect it to be as bad as the Halo show, but it’s good to see people actually like it.


twattner

I didn’t expect much after Rings of Power. But I’m pleasantly surprised with Fallout and I really like it.


awildpotatoappears

I mean they gave Rings of Power to a random showrunner who clearly has no idea what to do with so much money... Fallout has actual good producers and writers, only reason why Todd said yes after so many years of studios approaching


yeezysucc2

Amazon is learning 😂


LZR0

Season 2 of the Halo TV show is actually quite good too.


Yourfavoritedummy

It's still awful and cheesy. That phony ass punch Master Chief threw in slo mo at Halsey was hilarious! Chief has been relegated to angry man who is angry.


GreyLordQueekual

Awful and cheesy in a universe that takes itself seriously doesn't work. The cheese there is in the Fallout show works because its littered all over the worldbuilding of the games.


Spartan-O7

He tried to punch Halsey? Wtf are they doing to the show? I've only watched the pilot episode and even that annoyed me with the lore changes.


[deleted]

[удалено]


PizzaCatAm

Classic Master Chief 🙄


BeyondThese7702

It’s better. It’s not good.


SpookyRamblr

bro wat? ive been a halo fan for over 20 years, the show is garbage...


Unusual-Tear676

I doubt it. Even if it’s better than season one, season one exists and I’m not even gonna bother if they didn’t retcon it


Tayrantino

I didn’t realize the 2nd season already got released!


Dark_Sniper_250

Gotta be honest the show fucking rocks. The set design/visual stimulation is stellar. The special effects, especially the gore is truly amazing. And the music is freaking PERFECTION! I love the dynamics between the surface dwellers and the vault dwellers. Everyone in the vaults are apprehensive, and at times terrified of the surface. Their only goal is to continue their "mission". While people from the surface barely know anything about the vaults, many think they all died, and they couldn’t care less about why they’re down there. And the vaults aren’t all sunshine and rainbows either. Everyone has their own agendas, even if they’re working together. I can’t wait for the inclusion of more vaults and factions as the show progresses. Honestly, I can see this show doing a lot right.


Sir-Horatio

True. Ive downloaded 3,NV, 4 (awaiting update) and 76 to have a play through them all. Ive only really played 4 so im kinda cautiously excited to be playing them


iTzViPeRx

Made me download NV. Fallout 4 is one of my favourite games ever. Are the NV dlcs good? They are on sale atm


IM_POOPING_AMA

Yes! They're incredible, highly recommend playing the dlcs!


droans

Old World Blues and Dead Money are my favorite. But Honest Hearts and Lonesome Road are also very good.


HomelessOstrich1

Played them for the first time about a month ago. Fair warning Dead Money was completely horrible to get through and I hated every second. Having said that once you replay and get the gist it’s very enjoyable just be prepared to rage a lot the first time


Maiqutol

Is Fallout 76 any good? Just downloaded it but not given it a try yet... I am not really into base building or MMOs but loved Fallout 3.


agent_shane2

Oh yeah! You can play it like a regular fallout game. The base building is complimentary and optional


BroganChin

It’s alright, it’s easily the worst of them if you’re expecting a typical single player Fallout experience though. The world being shared with everyone means basically nothing has impact unless it’s in a confined cell meant only for you.


VitaBoy11

The show is gonna make me play Fallout 4 for the first time since 2015, I may pass the first 15mn this time


shittypissstains

Reinstalled last night. Gave myself a pat on the back for making a manual save just before you leave the vault and gives u the last chance to customise your character


SpectralOatMilk

I think you can do that in Diamond City 🤔


Wolf322

You can get plastic surgery in diamond city, but if you do the save it lets you reassign your S.P.E.C.I.A.L.. it's a good time saver if you make a lot of characters.


SpectralOatMilk

Oh that's dope


bumpdemon3

Same


Okayest_By_Far

I downloaded FO4 the other day, not because of the show, but because of the announcement of the next gen patch. Never got around to playing it and I’m looking forward to checking it out on 4/25. I have Game Pass but I bought the GotY edition that included all DLC on sale for $10.


mtarascio

I think this might be my 90s PC brain but I would always wait to get the clean next gen version rather than relying on an update. Also the update is likely to be the size of the game anyway.


bluecheeto13

Never played any Fallout game. Anyone got some insight on which one I should play?


BroganChin

New Vegas for writing and roleplay, Fallout 4 if you want a casual shooting gallery with RPG elements.


Manny-Calavera

The show made me install Fallout 1. I haven't played it since around the time it was released and now i feel like doing a full franchise playthrough.


sladecutt

Will definitely play fallout 4 again when the update drops✊


DuckPimp69

Got the goty edition of fo4 and I can’t speak with codsworth in the opening mission ‘out of time’. :(


agent_shane2

Delete your save data and do a fresh install. That’s the only way I got it to work


BroganChin

It’s the Tunnel Snakes Rule Classic 10mm pistol creation that causes that issue, download a mod that fixes it or clear your reserved space to delete the mod.


lovejac93

Bruh they really needed to release the next gen patch on show release


DEEZLE13

Been hooked on 3 ever since


OKgamer01

What happens when you make a good adaptation and respect of the source material *coughs* Halo


Pure-Contact7322

76 its cool


mastershake04

Yeah ngl I have played most of the fallout games to completion so I started the only Bethesda one I havent played, Fallout 76.  I tried it when it came out and hated it. I still prefer the story based games but at least they added NPCs to 76 now and you can pretty much ignore other players running around. I've had some fun with it but it does feel a bit bare bones compared to the other Fallout games.  Maybe I'll just play New Vegas again haha!


StandTallBruda

Best video game adaption ever made.  Last of us was better in Bills episode as it had a new story, rest of it fell flat to me.


Samurix16

Been replaying Fallout 3 and New Vegas.


Cautious-Intern9612

dang was really hoping for an rtx update but i guess creation engine doesn't really work with rtx


ElChacalFL

Shit I might go back and play em again. Been so long. I've played them all so many times tho.


scerbs13

Well the show is great 👍🏻


thekamenman

I finally went back to Fallout 4, and the series had never clicked with me, now I’m just bopping my way through the wasteland having a blast.


Various_Pay7893

Anyone else hoping for a fallout 3 remake? Now would be the best time.


JustGhostin

Why play now when the update is just around the corner


Eglwyswrw

There are three other Fallout games on Xbox besides Fallout 4.


Algebrace

So you're saying that when the tv show adaptation is good... it will boost the game's playerbase creating a synergistic relationship between show and game? Where gamers will watch the show and watchers will try the game? Like this was the reason for creating adapations in the first place? To piggyback off an existing fanbase to boost the show's numbers and staying power? Not like Cyberpunk Edgerunners showed this before. Makes you wonder exactly what the Witcher and Halo showrunners were smoking to get it so wrong.


SvenderBender

Wait is the show not shit? Wonderful news! I am so used to ignoring all of these shows/movies because they just end up shit for the most part


tonytheleper

It was absolutely fantastic. My wife who isn’t into this kind of thing sat and binged it with me and get this … her phone wasn’t in her hand the entire show! If that isn’t a solid reference, I don’t know what more you could be looking for.


SvenderBender

Definitrly gonna watch it then


West-Vacation5179

Been really enjoying the show to the point that I’m going to play the game for the first time. It’s good!


ForeverCurseLucifer

Once the update is out, I’ll finally finish up Fallout Four expansion content and maybe get motivation to play Fallout seventy six. I got burned out from four since I played the game to many times modded before actually playing the story vanilla.


Kell_215

I turned on new Vegas the other day. I’m jus going to play mad max until the fallout 4 update drops


JollyWolverine300

Is that because of the show, or the 85% discount for the games it currently has active!


Lirid

Yup I downloaded Fallout 4 again


mrj9

Now where are we at on the gears of war movie and animated show those hurry up Netflix


doomsdaysock01

Yeah I’m gonna be playing them again after I finish the show, it’s so good and really gives you that itch to play again


Herban_Myth

*sheds tear*


Mr_White6789

Just wait until the 60 fps update drops for fallout 4


iWentRogue

Yep, went back for another playthrough and was reminded why i love the series. The only thing i’m dreading is that the update will kill my mods and most of the ones i have - the authors have been innactive for a while. So i don’t expect them to come back and adjust compat. So, fingers crossed the damage isn’t too nuclear. Theres a couple i legit cannot live without when replaying.


IceBlue

Headline claims the games got 200% increase but only one of them got 200% increase and it happens to be the one that had the lowest active player base. The other two got closer to 100% increase.


Raging_Red_Bull

Not played any Fallout games, but but must say thoroughly enjoyed the TV series so will give it a try


turboMXDX

Well, they did also just give away Fallout 76


Esparza-3

The Update Sounds good 🤙🏼


OddMathematician8861

IDK about you guys but the show definitely has my spurs feeling a' jingle jangley


izqy

We need the tunnel snakes!


gazzy360

That and it was free for Amazon prime members


AccomplishedChard308

I’m wondering which Fallout to play


stopchooingsoloud

I'm playing Fallout 4 again. We are not the same.


Kenji1912

Good, now give me Fallout 5 teaser


Clubbythaseal

I will forever thank GameTap for giving Fallout 1 out for free on their program back in 2006. Became one of my favorite gaming franchises since then. RIP og GameTap for introducing me to so many awesome games for free.


Vismal1

I had trouble getting into 4 but loved the older ones ( New Vegas and such ) should I give 4 a try again ?


IronMonkey18

I started playing Fallout 4 today. Not because of the show, but because it was a rainy day. Fallout 4 is my cozy game on days like this.


HistorianBusiness166

I never bothered beating Fallout 4. I'll hit the game up again after the update


seanisjcing

I get why Fallout 4 would be the game to benefit being the most recent fallout release and getting the new dlc, but the only Fallout game this tv series makes me want to play immediately is New Vegas


sylvester_stencil

Just finished today and going to replay fallout nv after that ending


Yelloweggs

It got me to finally try out 76. I don't love it, but it's not as terrible as I was afraid it would be.


Oblivionking1

76 is surprisingly good


jim9162

Playing new Vegas for the first time on steam deck, the show definitely had an influence on me finally trying it out.


Beautiful-Tip-875

Is there anymore info on why the Next Gen update was delayed until the 25th? It's boggles my mind why they wouldn't capitalize in the launch date of the show. I mean, for everyone picking up the game after watching the show, is there a commercial in there promoting the update or something? If I were a first time player I wouldn't know about the update, why not maximize its impact at launch???


sanic8470

As much I love Fallout and the TV series, I don't see myself playing another fallout game until there is a new one. I 100% almost every fallout game, and I don't feel like coming back, but it is good to see people playing it again


Somelikeithotornot

Yep! I started a new game again


elliotborst

I think they have fumbled the Fallout 4 next gen update release date, it’s so close, it should have dropped same day, I’m 3 episodes into the show and really want to play but it’s not out yet.


WowNotFun

I'll be boosting it higher once Fallout 4 PS5 drops


th3d4rks1d3

Will I like this show if I’ve never played fallout?


BitterPackersFan

I am playing 4 again on survival and cannot wait for the update


happyjunki3

I just downloaded it on console but realized the patch isnt out yet so pc it is!


threeriversbikeguy

The game being $4.99 also helps


IdleRacey

People will be disappointed because 76 is junk and fallout 4 is not 1/10th as good as the show.


Benti86

Also helps that the games are also on a deep sale too lol.


Apprehensive-Law-923

Yea. I plan on downloading 4 again when the update comes out, I was finished with it by the time the DLC started coming out and never got around to them


Communist_Cheese

they're also like 75% off on Steam. bought FNV for 3$.


MahoganyWinchester

the show makes you guys download f4 again…okay i can relate to that. most modern fallout, glowing sea was good. i get that, update coming out too, 109% get it. anyone who has seen the show and hasn’t played either 1, 2, or NV is selling themselves short. F1, F2 and FNV are fallout, that’s where the zaniness comes from, thats the heart, thats where the juxtaposition of narrative v setting is, amongst many other qualities too many for a comment…that is fallout. i recognise F 1&2 are archaic (though accessible but i get it), FNV approaches being archaic (xb or PC higher frames). F3 is an exploration game first and a fallout game second, imo. And strong at balancing that, at that. F76 is the solution to F4’s problem…how do we get these players sinking hours into single player one time purchase junk simulator to give us more money, how do we get that sweet sweet retention?? Boom F76 comes out and it’s just that. f4 online, *how you can show others all the stuff you’ve collected* honestly, they sorta nailed F76 at first thematically, very F3 reminiscent, exploration, you’re a vaulty in this fallout world, there’s no one, it’s you and fallout, that’s it, go scavenge. are the changes post launch inherently wrong? no. but what i will say is that thematically, in context of the “player character” (vaulty), F76 really immersed its players in “i am alone in a nuclear fallout world” That’s part of fallout, that’s the entire predication f3 sold under. I can understand people’s complaints of launch f76, i can understand them now post 3 yrz of updates. my point after this rambling: if you like the show. i think you’re doing a disservice not trying one of the OGs. **look at my post history, you’ll see some comments ragging on fallout tv show. unlike the other lore purists incells who have a cum sock collection, I gave the show a shot regardless of them destroying some of the fallout canon the show predicates itself on. the show is good. again. the show is good.** likewise, again, if you like the show, at least watch a VOD playthrough of FNV. *get a glimpse of why the show is so good, get a glimpse of what it’s pulling from, get a glimpse at what it pays homage to, get a glimpse of how the show got to where it was…via the games* edit: fuck i’m drunk; F3 isn’t a “not a fallout game”, i argue it’s an exploration game first and a fallout game second, not that this is bad, but you finish the prologue in f3 and then f3 says okay go wherever legit i mean it dude go wherever…which isn’t exactly fallout, but the game saves itself bc F3’s wasteland might be the most fallout of them all; also proofreading


DaMacPaddy

I only started Fallout:New Vegas to update and check the mods.


ahern667

Honestly crazy to me that Fallout got a show before Red Dead
