Let's Play Fallout: New Vegas - Late to the Party

[@nicholascross3557]

RIP Sunny, dead to geckos while someone was busy looking at a glitch. Ain't that a kick in the head...

[@DJWeapon8]

Almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter.

[@SandtheSpiceSalesman]

Poor Sunny, she died and you guys didn't notice.

[@MrsStyx]

It's always such a delight to see you two playing games together. ❤️

[@MrsStyx]

Loveblanket Or someone who can appreciate watching others play games. 😘

[@marcuskiller02]

Haha Sunny Smiles got killed by the geckos and you didn't notice

[@Ditchdigger2005]

Sunny Smiles dies... Mission Failed notice comes on screen... Mission marker disappears... "What do we do now?" "Must have finished" Perception -1 MATN fans know ;-)

[@scooterjss]

24:40 "Happy Trails, Hans!" Ironically, Victor is voiced my William Sadler, who played Colonel Stuart, the villain in Die Hard 2.

[@chrisnihil6452]

Watching this old video since it came up my feed, and i miss Let's Plays with these two.

[@drsyn9136]

In this town there lived an outlaw by the name of Texas Red Many men had tried to take him and that many men were dead He was vicious and a killer, though a youth of twenty four And the notches on his pistol numbered one and nineteen more(One and nineteen more)

[@theDegausser]

I’ve had this game on my Xbox hardrive for about 6 years now and have been continuously skeptical... thanks to this episode of LTTP, I am now 34 hours in and loving every second.

[@eoinmcstay8441]

I got so happy reading the title. New Vegas is one of the best games ever made in my opinion.

[@shotgunshells2]

I'm really annoyed about how they completely missed Sunny's death. It was a great opportunity for Johnny to point out that one of the things that made NV so good is that nobody was immortal.

[@inspirationmediatube]

This is the definitive Fallout game. bringing the flavor of the original games to the tech of the modern games and Obsidian nailed it. I wish they could do another one in the FO4 engine

[@julianforst7837]

Oh yeah, that Cheyenne glitch. That happens so often it's weirder when her eyes ARE in her sockets.

[@sockfish123]

It only happens to plebs not playing this on a PC.

[@domlocke3845]

While I prefer 3, I still love New Vegas. It absolutely has the better sense of humor over 3 and definitely 4. I always felt while 3 was a silly satire of 50s culture, New Vegas was a loving parody. Also there is an entire in game faction that is comprised entirely of Elvis impersonators and that is just amazing.

[@cally77777]

Pro Stories, this post is typical of the internet (and youtube particularly) where the person is convinced they have a monopoly on the 'truth', whatever that is. It sometimes makes me feel tired, but I will engage with your point nonetheless. No doubt for some the story and structures of those original games still has some unique quality which they feel has been lost. But it is often similar to parents/aunts/uncles (and I've done this) explaining to a younger generation about the virtues of a style of music of which they have no experience, and do not 'get'. I would still look back for example on Final Fantasy Ten with affection as 'my' Final Fantasy, while for others even earlier versions are 'theirs'. But I seriously doubt I would want to grind through level after level of antiquated monster combat in order to experience that again. Games have moved on, like music, and its necessary to acknowledge that.

[@domlocke3845]

Pro Stories I know I'm a little late to respond but umm... I have played the first two... and I love them. I don't get why it's an either or scenario. I can and do like both old school and newer Fallouts.

[@wheretheart6375]

Aoife would totally run an all girls mercenary group and there would definitely be a Caesar esque mutiny, of which Aoife would ignore all Johnny's warnings about.

[@scooterjss]

Should've put some points into Luck. You are in Vegas after all.

[@AlexStarkiller1]

Less than 7 luck is basically just a worthless build.

[@davidmurray3542]

9 luck. Rinse the casinos.

[@j.tgrooms]

One of my all time favs. Thanks for playing guys!

[@brittkelly877]

Can Johnny Britches be an NPC for the next Oxtra D&D adventure?

[@jamster126]

Still the best modern fallout game in my opinion. The choices you had to make were awesome and had genuine concequences

[@vexili]

Pro Stories dude are you just going around commenting on everyone’s comment about the original fallouts?

[@davidmurray3542]

I agree, although you also have to let them off for some rough edges.. you can see what they wanted to achieve and they don't *quite* get there, but a bit of faith and investment makes up for it

[@Birb_down]

Please oh please play this game again, I think the sense of humor you two have are a perfect compliment to the humor in this game and an hour isn't enough!

[@voltzoen6262]

Johnny: I'm gonna use console commands to pick the locks! 1 hour later, gets stuck on a cliff and forgets that you can use no clip command in the console to pass through things. One of my fav games ever, the soundtrack, the atmosphere, the setting and even the DLC's are fantastic. The story converges nicely and you can choose plenty of outcomes.

[@patrikhjorth3291]

Mjoll the Lioness is one of my favourite companions in Skyrim :-D Her constant retelling of life stories is no more annoying than any of the others. What's most entertaining about her is that her story is all about opposing the Thieves' Guild, but her ingame morality setting makes her a great companion _while you do the Thieves' Guild quest chain_ since she's perfectly fine with you stealing stuff right in front of her. She doesn't even bat an eye when you enter the Guild hideout.

[@MadMusic26]

BEARS HIGH-FIVING IS EXACTLY WHAT I SAID WHEN I PLAYED THIS!

[@jackgodden2238]

New Vegas is my favourite Fallout game by far and one of the best games I’ve ever played!

[@MoczoUno]

So Johnny explains the plot of the game by talking over the game's intro cinematic already doing that exact same thing. I feel like this says something, but I'm not sure what.

[@The-Underbaker]

I've played the shit out of New Vegas over the years and never realised that voice was Matthew Perry, it sounds nothing like him!

[@The-Underbaker]

Ah, Jennie, she warns you about strangers but then blindly follows you in front of the dinosaur. *BOOM* Headshot!

[@nicholascross3557]

Matthew actually got the gig after he presented Ellen Degeneres with a copy of 'his favourite game' Fallout 3... although he's not the only well-known name attached, aside from Ron 'Hellboy' Pearlman doing the intro there's Kris 'Whistler' Kristofferson as Chief Hanlon, Danny 'Machete' Trejo as Raul the Mexican ghoul and Rene 'Odo' Auberjonois' as Robert Edwin House.

[@liamhagan4546]

Could i BE any more Chandler?

[@frankiemusix8108]

You know what this means right? You have to do Alpha Protocol next.

[@Scimarad]

That is a damned good idea!

[@manic_misfit9722]

So weird seeing the vanilla version after playing with a shit ton of mods....still the best game of all the modern releases IMO (would love to see another isometric fallout though)

[@KyleS.1987]

Fallout 4 has Prof. Goodfeels, who is legitimately hilarious, and a whole goofy questline about pretending to be the Silver Shroud, so it's not *all* grim.

[@connorharnage6697]

I've never seen this before but it starts with the singing Jingle Jangle Jingle so I already respect him

[@D4rkKyur3m]

I just played this recently!! It is a fabulous game, I haven't seen the video yet but I'm sure it'll be delightful (especially because Johnny and Aoife have class banter)

[@kristofferp5480]

New Vegas is without a doubt the best Fallout. Bethesda's fallout games are always very narrow and linear no matter how you play them and they always take away from the "RPG" aspects by developing a main character for you. By giving you a father in 3 and straight up making you a set character in 4 they really ruin the "roleplaying" in the "roleplaying game". In 4 your character is very much established and you're not left with much room to develop your own character or story. Your character has a family, a backstory, a profession and a voice that expresses emotions and reactions that maybe you didn't want to have. If you play the male character you're a veteran and the female character is(well, was) a lawyer and you have a goal that is very much set in stone, save your kid. In New Vegas you're just a glorified mailman who got shot in the head and buried in the desert, then you're free to develop your own story and character. New Vegas is an RPG, 3 and 4 are not RPG's. Arbitrary numbers on equipment and levels does not make an RPG an RPG, the ability to roleplay and create your own character is what makes an RPG, an RPG and sadly that is a fact that not many modern players are aware of because the "RPG" term has been twisted beyond recognition.

[@iusethisnameformygoogleacc1013]

The lack of an existing character really isn't what defines a roleplaying game, and the presence of a pre-established character definitely isn't what Bethesda fucked up in their fallout games, I think that's just something people have arrived at while Knowing there was something wrong in that general area and not being able to reason out why; it's the absolute lack of choice, further intensified by the way it's crudely disguised by a Mass Effect Conversation Wheel in Fallout 4. At least in 3 you could say different things, even if the results were usually identical. In 4 you can just say the same thing in three different tones of voice, and maybe sarcastically.

[@adammk1mod081]

This is the best Fallout. I could play this forever.

[@Grazzhopper]

Aoife singing whenever a word triggers her is so relatable! Love watching you two play games together, two great people at work.

[@TheOriginalHairyDave]

I'm marginally disappointed Aoife didn't just head straight towards Vegas and all the fun stuff that entails.

[@TheOriginalHairyDave]

Colin MacRae - I was thinking more along the lines of going straight North out of Goodsprings... and running away from giant radscorpions and cazadors 😈

[@cally77777]

That doesn't usually end well, seeing as those critters are plenty fast. I managed it by sneaking round the edge of Black Mountain, but it took a few resaves whenever the Deathclaws took a serious interest.

[@boomxhakalaca3660]

2 things: Die Hard, Christmas movie: yes/no? Easy Pete = evolved form of Stinky Pete from Toy Story 2

[@I_am_PiT]

When the last ink blot came up I too was like "That really looks like two bears high-fiving"! Creeeeeeeepy!

[@nicholascross3557]

In the 'Honest Hearts' DLC, Obsidian actually put a character called Two Bears High-Fiving, just to admit that it really should have been one of the possible answers...

[@robincb]

There is actually a mod which adds that option in

[@jefferycrouse5654]

I always saw 2 gnomes high fiving

[@korbendallas1431]

Hitman did it right; subtitles had their very own menu category.

[@romanalbertson5044]

This is the best Fallout and no one will ever convince me otherwise

[@Summon256]

Fallout 1 and 2??...

[@romanalbertson5044]

Summon256 great games. New Vegas is still the best Fallout

[@Summon256]

How about no?! Lol

[@avenge2168]

When you play new Vegas without graphics mods

[@admiralthrawnbar4899]

I'm pretty sure they are playing it on console which is a horrible shame, means they can't use the graphic or bug fixing mods

[@andyrushent251]

Old World Blues has the best writing in the entirety of the series. My favourite DLC ever.

[@lazymansload520]

Fallout 3 is my favorite, but New Vegas is something special.

[@johnnyblaze9874]

Hell yeah New Vegas with Johnny and Aoife what a good morning.

[@dreco3658]

Also the advancements that were made in this game were amazing love this game

[@dmmcdermott7489]

I know you guys get requests like this all the time and you must have a huge list by now but I would love to see a let's play series of this game, or any fallout game

[@scooterjss]

One of the coolest things about this game is that almost everything is based off of something in real life. A few years ago a guy by the name of Chris Worth toured around the area and made a blog comparing screenshots of areas in the game to their real life counterparts: www.falloutnewvegastour.com/

[@samuelaldrey6080]

Planescape torment next!!

[@majansen666]

"I like hitting things", doesn't hit an enemy the whole playthrough. Also, I cannot believe you didn't check out the ghouls that want to go to space!

[@WickedLady2010]

“I've got spurs that jingle, jangel, jingle As I go riding merrily along And they sing, oh, ain't you glad you're single? And that song ain't so very far from wrong” This song is going to be stuck in my head now, I guess it’s time to replay Fallout New Vegas lol

[@DavidBanuelos]

@31:20 You can actually see Sunny's dead body on the left. You were looking right at her and you didn't notice! But at least you got revenge on the geckos that killer her.

[@snakeplisken9276]

Jesus Christ some of this stuff is understandable, can’t play everything, but some of these games I don’t know how secure your job should be until you play them

[@patrikhjorth3291]

The way characters looked in Fallout 3 / Oblivion is one of the main obstacles for me to play them. You just _can not_ make them look, well, not horrible.

[@DevilboyScooby]

So I may have seen this video in my feed and instinctively shouted "HOW HAS AOIFE NOT PLAYED THAT!?" in public...

[@xaldin292]

Yes yes yes. Please do more of this. Its so good

[@titansfable5575]

This game took at least a entire year of my life in total beat it beginning to end 13 times including dlc and maxing out my character this game reminds me of harry potter no matter how many times I play it I always find something new

[@korbendallas1431]

@1:16:13 And that's why you go south around the mountains to get to Novac.

[@cliffevans2315]

This was, no doubt, the last good Fallout game. And had you more time, you would discover through totally legitimate means that the storage closet in the Dino Delite Gift Shop is filled to bursting with Dinky Dinosaurs. Actually, this wouldn't be a bad candidate for a Let's Play. The adventures of Butts through the world of Old World Blues would be delightful.

[@mr.dudemanguymcwiggins9188]

I think you get that gun from the dinky dinosaur as well that could have been your first unique weapon

[@juncheok8579]

"Charisma is always good" hmm

[@darkjackel8608]

Thanks for the video! I've got to say, Johnny's version of the doctor's voice was reminding me an awful lot of the old camp leader from Psychonauts... 😏

[@DragonBotherer]

That same button mistake meant i went through my first play of Skyrim being called prisoner :/

[@SpartanGamingPlayz]

Thanks Johnny, i'll never be able to talk to Doc Mitchell without that voice in my head now! haha :D

[@gabrieleriva651]

The best Fallout.

[@timmyg1764]

Charisma is the last stat you need. High int for skills, ag, perc. Then I'll put a few into end and str later on. You can go all intelligence and get full skills.

[@KarizmaKai]

Wow, Awesome that your playing this Surprised Aoife has not played this, i did enjoy this one alot

[@simplyphil3169]

Thanks for this as bought this on steam sale so perfect timing on your part and gives me some initial insight into the game!

[@Zurupup1]

Anyone else remember that deathclaw I was hoping they would see it. I never ran into it until my 5 playthrough and it wiped me out so bad I skyrim climbed a mountain to avoid it.

[@jadarea1221]

I would love to see more of you Guys plating through this. Like your dark souls playthrough.

[@MoneyMatt-tf7cp]

Favorite game EVER.

[@rocketscientist14]

Loving the borderlands shirt Johnny. Represent! I am currently loving borderlands 3 at the moment.

[@rollastoney]

Yes this is the best fallout ever made.

[@Summon256]

Mm...let me introduce me to Fallout 1 and 2!...

[@earthlybump4843]

"So tell me, why do they call you Johnny Britches?"

[@AngelBeatYunara]

Those mercs are no longer having a blast.

[@neohamilton551]

Wilson's warriors, Rulers of the wasteland!

[@R4ggedyM4n]

i love New Vegas. but see about playing it again after 4 or so years of not playing it

[@rlboley]

I just started playing this game, last week.

[@denniswijker7162]

Put your phone away Johnny, you're at work!

[@kareldgr]

Actually playing this for the first time at the moment. Couldn't do without some character overhauls and textures though ;)

[@mopz]

It's called Rude Paul's Drag Racing; get it right.

[@MadMusic26]

I get that dog eye glitch a lot

[@arndnaj]

Always put the five points into intelligence.

[@wheretheart6375]

Ian is Easy Pete.

[@samdilks9516]

first time i played new vegas a giant radscorpion wandered up to the back of the goodsprings saloon and i died ten times trying to kill it, eventually i used the merc's grenade rifle that u get at the beginning, but cheyenne died :(

[@CastellanMaben]

The geckos killed sunny which made you fail the quest.

[@HollowMux]

Finally , the best fallout

[@davidclarke8840]

A new Fallout video without the mention of Fallout 76 ... how interesting! ... That being said I would love to hear the video teams' opinions on the matter (I for one really like the idea and I have already pre-ordered the power armour edition :D)

[@shssoccer081]

Aoife didn't select the hot-blooded trait? I am beyond disappointed

[@isaacbruner65]

Skills are way more important than special stats in this game, should have maxed int to get the highest skill points per level.

[@Teeheehee093]

This is the real Fallout 3. Fallout 3 is the spin off.

[@ulfhazelcreek8108]

Deeputah Beeguul needs to be added to the next Fallout game.

[@patrikhjorth3291]

57:00 That guy really put his foot in his mouth!

[@ElaborateTiger]

I played this game religiously when it came out, I did everything there is to do twice over but in the end I just got burned out on it and have had no desire to play it since.

[@mr.dudemanguymcwiggins9188]

you can be Johnny Five Aces but then again if I remember correctly his story didn't end too well

[@amazedsatsuma]

15:47 someone is aware of the meme

[@DragonBotherer]

Dunno how you'd fix it but with some of these games (especially a Fallout game, with the radio, musical cues and hearing where the baddies are coming from!) would give you a better idea of how much you'd like them if you could hear the audio, not just having the subtitles. Is it too late to cross my fingers and hope that F76 is a bit more like FNV and slightly less po-faced than F4?

[@nightcatarts]

They have to turn down the audio to stop the microphones picking it up & ending up with either echo or feedback. They could wear headsets the entire time, but then they'd need to be able to hear one another too, so that'd all have to be piped through the computer & mixed together. I suppose one earbud in could work..

[@neohamilton551]

Sooooo, Johnny is a maliwan man. I'm more of a jakobs person myself. I prefer my death dealing to be old fashioned and simple.

[@Iandarth]

I agree. Played fallout 3 first and was so bored. Played new Vegas and loved it. Didn't bother with 4 cos I heard it was like 3.

[@Technoir444]

Now if they remastered this with Fallout 4 graphics and combat...

[@shotgunshells2]

There's a team working on just that. Look up F4NV.

[@lukethespook4361]

Johnny, I can't believe you forgot the best song of 'em all: Big Iron by Marty Robbins. (kzbin.info/www/bejne/b2qcg6R9j8anhtU). The unofficial Anthem of New Vegas imho.

[@JarPapa]

...JINGLE JANGLE!! smh Aoife
