And Chudhumpers...

A happy end to a tragic tale! You, uhh... you fed her the after-pill, right? Right, buddy? Hey, Karl...?

Hopefully it lives up to the hype

He's hiding in shame. He'll eventually show once he pulls the guy out of his sister...

Had to give a shoutout to the legend, my smoking sensei.

He must be a chad

Nothing is a coincidence when it comes to Obama and Starfield...

Welcome! But just know you'll live to regret it.

I also blame Obama for Fallout 76 and my erectile dysfunction...

Starfield was in dev for 8 years and still didn't launch with a map while the modding community had fixes and more within weeks of launch. Bethesda are just focused on procedural generation and monetization instead of actual content while also neglecting vital upgrades that could improve the engine.

@@AlexAdrift bro the engine is so old that they can t even update fallout4 without breaking it its time for new engine new people

@@kbubuntu6048 Again, thats Bethesda IMO. I'll admit the engine is flawed in some areas, but you could give modern Bethesda Unreal Engine 5 and they'd still fuck shit up. They've literally had 10+ years to make the Fallout 4 mod patches obsolete yet haven't. Not to mention, the modding community had fixes for that very issue you mentioned within the week while Bethesda sat on their ass. Some of this is pure negligence or incompetence. Like, we have YEARS of proof that the modding community is able to better utilize the engine than Bethesda themselves. The bigger issues IMO arise from it being an in-house engine, meaning people have to spend years learning to use it compared to other engines which are readily used. Unless you grow up playing and modding Bethesda titles, odds are you don't know the engine, which does suck compared to other engines, such as Unreal.

@@AlexAdrift yeah my point exactly ue is way more is to approach and to recrute for no tech to learn just make game with the support of every xbox studio and epic

@@kbubuntu6048 But truthfully Bethesda will never make a change. Modding makes them to much money and grants them the longevity they want for monetization long term. Regardless of engine, Bethesda's bigger issue IMO is their regression of systems. Multiple mechanics, from companions to exploration, has taken massive leaps backward and it isn't the result of the engine. Rather, a flawed design focus that feeds into their monetization. In essence, their games are going backwards in terms of gameplay as their engine is getting upgraded. That is by choice.

Ha. Thanks. And The truth some can't seem to realize is that Bethesda and others have made greater games with greater limitations. Skyrim is literally made on a far worse version of the engine yet is clearly a better game.

Thanks!

Yeah, I think their focus has shifted to looter shooter systems and single player monetization. Hopefully this trend doesn't continue with ES6.

@@AlexAdrift i really, really hope so. i also hope the next fallout is better too, but the success of 4's ..: 4-ness might be the standard. i just wish they would understand that players would rather have a defined map FULL of interesting shit than an endless slog of loot, ammo, guns, and whatever else.

@@gh0st-dru1d Yeah I tend to agree. So many aspects of their game design has taken massive leaps backward. I've noticed this as I analyze their games and play the DLC at the moment. Its inspiring me to make a video about it because there seems to be a massive disconnect between fans and Bethesda, and within the community itself.

Yeah, some games feel creatively bankrupt in their attempts to ride market trends. Personally, I feel that some games should have taken bigger risks, such as Starfield, especially because mods can fix any issues. This should have pushed the title to be more daring IMO.

He walked it all back after the fan response, despite suggesting it was actually canon and planned the entire time. In truth, Its a mess and in my opinion its all bizarre and reeks of a desperate need for social media attention.

@@AlexAdrift why make it though did he do it to get a reaction out of the fans?

@@seangross5057 He blamed it on being "excited"...whatever that means. Personally, I think it was a ploy for social media attention. I don't think it was a coincidence it happened when the TV show was buzzing and trending. He only walked it all back, despite doubling down multiple times, once he saw the negative fan response.

@@AlexAdrift so you think that he did it just to advertise the TV show so that mean Nate’s gonna make an appearance in the TV show

@@seangross5057 Not an advertisement. I think he just wanted some likes and attention for himself. Fallout as a brand was trending so he thought he'd share an easter egg that he would walk back shortly after. However, I would not rule out future stories that are woven closely to the games. Season 2 is already going to showcase New Vegas. Perhaps later seasons or spin-offs could show other locations/characters.

I disagree. He doubled down multiple times and "corrected" the people who suggested it wasn't planned. He was clearly not joking and only walked it back and apologized because of the negative fan response. I provided this evidence in the video.

@@AlexAdrift I am pretty sure he was bored and decidied to mess with people, and when people took it serious he started to take this joke further. There is no way it was planned

@@piotr3580 I think it was a ploy for social media attention. I don't think it was a coincidence that he did it when the Fallout TV show was buzzing. Again, he doubled down multiple times and suggested it was planned and made sense...until he flip flopped. I think if the reception were different, it would still be canon, which highlights just how irresponsible the whole situation was.

@@AlexAdrift Mate, Fallout 4 story was kinda bad, so I think that this guy had right to make a joke

@@piotr3580 Yeah, I didn't care for it either, but poor retroactive storytelling told 8 years later on social media doesn't make it any better. 🤷‍♂

If you choose not to care, that's fine, however, I personally think poor storytelling and desperate attention seeking like this should unite the fandom, not cause more division simply because some choose to willfully ignore Bethesda's poor storytelling because they "like it." Not only is it poor storytelling and contradicts the opening cutscene, but it also does a disservice to the actual writing team, whose team lead is changing the literal lore on a whim because he wants some attention on social media. At best it's unprofessional and at worst, egotistical. There was a way to tell this story and make it interesting and it wasn't 8 years after the fact using tweets. To like it? Sure. But to act like this is professional, good storytelling, and that critics should be quiet, is just wrong IMO.

@@AlexAdrift And what I’m saying is your crusade against Bethesda is meaningless, you are shouting at a brick wall. One that has proven time and time again to be a brick wall. Yet KZbinrs like yourself keep going. Just play the damn mods from people who actually give a shit. Otherwise stop playing the game and wasting your time bitching about it.

The problem is, the game features too much surface level space, such as 100s of planets and moons, yet doesn't have enough content to fill it. No matter how many randomized, generic, and meaningless bases you fill it with, it won't make them good. This is my point. The procedurally generated content is the weakness of the game. They should have shrunk the game and focused heavily on a few things, rather than be spread so thin. Or, in the very least, shipped with more than 8 locations repeated ad nauseum. IMO, they focused to heavily on generated content and a change in design principals is a much greater fix than adding more random slop.

God No...Lol

Great minds think alike lol

as for the near universal calls for ue5 sure its a good engine, but maybe unity would be more their speed lol, it also lends itself well to a lot of things i think would be nise to see in a elder scrolls game, but if they do use ue5 or anything really, they should strike a deal where the engine helps develop a similar interface to creation and features making it a more accessible system and in return ue or whoever gets to keep those all on the market as features of their engine, it would save them the cost of it cuz no engine dev is gonna be diluted enough to not realize the massive potential of making similar but better refined versions of that system, the bethesda formula, and jusr yea win win win creation is just modified gamebryo anyway so same here just use a new base a stronger better newer foundation and tools built by people who all they do is engines people who actually know their stuff, even in better times it was never technical brilliance that made bethesda so pass that work off to people who know better theres also been such a steady decline and if youve used their mod tools theyve gotten worse each time, more errors, more broken residual systems, so i think part of why their games are worse now is that getting it to work at all in the first place takes so long that implementation time is getting shorter, so they rely more on cheap tricks to fill out a world in time they just dont have and with that proabably is part of why people keep leaving, the best talent leaving, cuz if they cant even make anything they want cuz the tools are so fucked its not worth it anymore to work there
