Xeno Reacts to "The Fall of 76" by Internet Historian 

bro xeno actually hasn’t heard about anything in the world since heavensward, he was just under a rock letting his beard ferment

Damn Xeno is like asmon. SOMEHOW both of them were hiding under the rock playing their respective games (Xeno- FF, Asmon-WoW) and soooomehow never heard bout one of the largest games xD Damn i love those guys

xeno has become one of the best react andys in this downtime of content, love it

That bag scandal was legendary. My coworker was in that mess LOL. He was so salty

I'm pretty sure the whole thing with the nuka dark went like this: They were planning on shipping it in a standard-ass bottle. No special nothing, just a completely bog standard bottle. Then when the gigantic shitshow that was the launch happened, and they were ass-deep in customers screaming at them, someone took another look at this and was like "Oh no... we were planning on bait and switching the customers with this too. QUICK! Find a way to give them a bottle!" But actually spending the time and resources to put a custom shaped bottle into works at the last minute would have been too costly and delayed it even further. So what would you do? Obviously you make a quick cheap plastic shell for your boring bottle and hope the customers don't somehow notice. Its a really transparent last-minute patch job.

7:26 That is typically a mistake you only see in older games. Devoplers sometimes make the mistake of making things like movement a product of frames rather than a product of time.

We did it boys. We found out why Bethesda tries to sell Skyrim to you every year. They need that money from how much they lost during 76

Do you know what the company's tagline should be? "BETHESDA: We Aren't Planning On Doing Anything About It"

Xeno, Now that you are fully a React streamer you need a partner to bounce off the reaction between you two. its the next step in your evolution

Hey Zeno, in case you watch the comments, that ant zombie fungus that you mentioned, is actually the basis of the zombie virus in The Last of Us. I don’t remember the progression, but I think it jumped from ants to animals, then animals to humans.

Xeems being one of the best react channels in recent history isn't the timeliness expected, but I'm happy to be here.

Bethesda has the dubious distinction of being the very first developer to be caught up in a cash shop scandal. It was when they released the Horse Armor for Oblivion at an exorbitant price. It caused quite the backlash in the gaming community at the time.

I'm just happy to see someone else be as horrified as I was that the game forced some people to reinstall their console's software or bricked their computers.

That email response to the bag, holy fuck balls. Hahaha

He didn't even talk about the Helmet causing people to get cancer and some almost died, the very same helmet from the power armor edition. Which had a recall shortly after.

can't wait for internet historian to do a blizzard episode XD

I love xeno reacting to stuff ngl this is a good timeline

The zombie ant fungus inspired an X-Files episode "Firewalker", that one was sick.

The ant fungus is what the cordecypts zombies in The Last of Us is based off of.

Bethesda has used the same engine for a very long time and an out dated engine can't really run new games and concepts. Many games had systems tied to fps, especially Bethesda games. It's not a big deal on console where frame rate is locked, but on pc you get some people zooming around and others in slowmo. I really hope they have made a new game engine for ES6, if it ever comes out.

I hope he reacts to the series of He Will Not Divide Us. That one's the best.

I swear the releases of fallout 76 and no man sky and then the way the companies handled their respective games is like a perfect mirror image of how the gaming industry used to operate and how it currently operates

- Xeno complains about ads baked into the video. - RU-vid serves 9 ads in this video. - This is fine.

I often come back to see this video, it’s so well made

No one's gonna mention how perfect the timing of that resub at 20:20 notification was, huh? A literal Fell Cleave.

Internet Historian's sponsored ads are always top notch, honestly.

Xeno: I've never played this game before. Me : oh you are so lucky

If you sell anything for a fixed price (including presale) and after that realize it's too expensive to make, you only have two legal options: a) make it anyway for a loss and keep to the sales contract or b) cancel the sales contract and refund the customer including all losses incurred by the customer (banking fees etc.). The customer isn't responsible for your screwup when determening the sales price. Sending out a different product to that specified in the sales contract is fraud. In the U.S. (keeping in mind that the sale was over the internet) this can be classified as wire fraud, which turns it from a state jurisdiction into a federal jurisdiction, which in turn means your trial has a chance to appear live on TV[*]. The fraud was far too small, but it certainly would also have been fun watching Bethesda management getting roasted by politicians in an U.S. Congress investigation. [*] Well, on C-SPAN at least, with the lowest picture and sound quality one can squeeze out of modern encoders without using potatoes as cameras. But you have a good chance to have more viewers than a Senate Pro forma session.

Have Bethesda always been this bad? Two words: Horse Armor.

18:30 Private Hudson : Maybe it's like an ant-hive? Private Vasquez : Bees, man. Bees have hives!

drink everytime he says "wait" or "woah woah woah"

We can't expect Todd to do *all* the work.

What about the Power Armour Helmet and the mould that grows inside it?

Todd cradling skyrim going into stasis was absolutely hilarious in 2021

IH: *says anything* Xeno: waitwaitwaitwait HOLD ON hold on

Damn, I'd forgotten all about 76 lmao Remember the mouldy helmet scandal too?

My favourite react streamer is back at it, love to see it!

I actually had the "chance" to taste that Nuka dark rum, and it's shit KEKW

“Look Tomar, it’s you!”

To answer your question about Bethesda's track record, Bethesda's fanbase is a bit like Blizzard's. They'll buy and consume whatever shit they're fed. Their fanbase only exists because the modding community fixes every game Bethesda puts out for free. Anyone who knew Bethesda's track record knew that Fallout 76 would be a trash fire because an always online game will necessarily not allow modding or unofficial patches. Once you take away Bethesda's primary source of free bugfixing, it was a forgone conclusion the game would be a shitfest. The thing the fanbase doesn't like mentioning is that every Bethesda game launches in a nigh unplayable state.

He never even talked about how the helmet that came with the Power Armor edition was possibly a threat to the wearers life. It had a rare kind of MOLD in the lining from improper storage before shipping.

finally i was waiting for the react a long time ago ........

You know, I wasn’t even involved with the hype or subsequent outrage. You know why? Because the instant Fallout 76’s concept was announced, I IMMEDIATELY said out loud, “Wow, that sounds like a horrible idea for a game.” Months later lo and behold I was right. Call me a mf prophet man.

I had actually pre-ordered it xP I knew it was gonna be a buggy game, but thought it'd just add to the fun for me and the boys. Turns out the bugs were so much worse then I could imagine. It's like thinking "Oh nothing too bad would happen here. Why would it?" Only BAM! Somebody crashed a semi truck into the building! There was no endgame content or anything at all to do so the only pleasure I had in the game was to play a Bounty Hunter. When you'd grief players a bounty is placed on you, on the main map the bad boy can't see anyone, but everyone see's him marked for death, and whoever kills him takes the bounty out of his pocket. During the early days, bounties were a plenty so having my guy dressed as Uncle Sam gunning you down was fun...till I faced the Bugged Outlaw. The dude had the invincibility glitch, meaning he couldn't be killed, even if reduced to 0 HP. I had a full lock n load montage and blew his anus apart taking out 350% of his total health and he did not die. It was effectively the last straw for my sanity in 76. A few years later, the game is actually patched to a decent game now, but still lacking in endgame fun.

I’ve heard that one of the best ways to tell that a film is going to flop is by seeing if it’s over advertised. I guess one of the best ways to tell that a game will flop is by seeing if it’s overhyped.

34:06 Everyone joked about Beth releasing a new SKyrim version before we even get any image or anything about TES6... Then they released Slyrim Anniversary Edition..., at this point, the memes makes themselfs...

That ant infecting fungus is what the last of us game is based on

Technically speaking this is the last game Bethesda developed and published. There was Elder Scrolls Blades after Fallout 76 but it wasn't a full game.

"In every bethesda game there's a dev room" Exactly! Usually it's called something like "QASmoke" (At least in elder scrolls games since Oblivion, could probably also apply to Morrowind), and at least in those games you needed access to console commands and the coc (center on cell) command.

The Bug with the Gamespeed tied to the Framerate existed since Fallout 3.

He did not get the @let them eat cake@ joke...my disappointment is immeasurable.

that fungus is cordyceps. it's also what "the last of us" was based on

"Not a lot of people know this, but I'm quite a good rap artist. A *rappist,* if you will." - InternetHistorian @ 34:39

There's somthing I really like about a guy having a big red fiery beard.

12:59 AMAZING

18:15 fun fact ther is also a parasite that take over a snail. Super creapy stuf

Country roads is still my alarm clock :P

That beard is legendary. I can only hope I can grow that in the next 50 years.

that whole ant fungus was the premise of what happened in the last of us but on a humanity scale

Xeno's such a boomer. I'm reliving the betrayal of so many things I wanted to hide in my memory

That essay thing is doubly bad when you realise that they're basically trying to get bug-exploiters to admit that they were using third party cheat software and that there are no exploitable bugs in 76

Wait till he watch the cruise ship.

Indeed. Beware the hype. Even if it's after the release of something. So, I'm scared about Endwalker. And he didn't mention the helmets riddled with fungi. Blamed on the company that storage of one of the delivery companies.

The story about the ants...yup, that's Cordyceps. The inspiration for The Last of Us.

he basically explained what the last of us zombies were made from

I remember finding 76 in those Black Friday baskets for 10$ in the same year lol

F76 tanked so hard that a local shop here in Germany was selling ps4pro for 200 euros less but it was bundled with the game

Hate to burst your bubble, dude. Normal Fallout 4 was not great. The modders made it great, not Bugthesda.

To be fair this is a company that released the same 10 year old game, what? 5-6x? for full price and monetized mods (among other things). They have always been greedy they just went to far this time. Kind of sad really, I remember when people where pissed by the $5 horse armor DLC that did nothing but look cool. Now it's so normalized nobody cares. That bar just keeps siding on down the hill.

Somebody tell him to watch Sseth videos. I think he would deeply enjoy it.

26:49 He is that emoji. xD

Basically it all started since ZeniMax (the company that owned Bethesda) new CEO came around and he changed a lot of things within the company and how Bethesda operates.

My friend bought the drink and we tried it. It tasted even worse then it looked.

Maths on stream is always exciting and never goes wrong

18:40 What you just described is called the "Cordyceps Virus." The same virus from the video game "The Last of Us." And yes, it's a real virus that infects insects.

Hopefully Xeno reacts to IH's stuff on the second channel, some of the vids there are rly funny too

13:52 Just like Overwatch (the first one) when it was sold as physical copy for PS4. The only thing that is useful is the case itself. The cover art and its insert, just throw it away. Keep the case as spares lol.

Actual Fallout fans have HATED bethesda for over a decade. They NEVER understood fallout.

My friend bought this game and before they had a chance to play it Bethesda gave them a refund and they couldn't play the game unless they bought it again. They didn't even request a refund

canvas being too expensive or not enough of is a straight up lie. The USA military makes big duffel bags (that are like 10x the size) and rucksacks (heavy duty backpack, that's 2x the size of failout 76 bags). There is also a x-large version of the rucksack bag ya can find in outdoor hobby stores as well as military duffel bags. The real reason was Tod just wanted to cut as much corners as possible.

Unlike No Man's Sky, there was a lot of greed and belief that customers are moronic sheep from Bethesda. Meanwhile the Devs of No Man's Sky simply overpromised beyond their ability. I ain't gonna give a company chance the third time because of pure greed. And some here may try to argue that they are improving Fallout 76 even now. But the thing is, unlike Hello Games who decided to make up for it without demanding payments, paid dlc and so on for their expansions, Bethesda went subscription model and even had that "microtransaction" shop from the start of the game.

easy, remove the dev room from live servers and only have it on internal test server.

Careful, Xeno. They might remove the like button too.

This is pure internet gold.

Thankyou Mr bearded strummer. I really hoped for this upload

They've been on a downward spiral since the skyrim remakes (there was the horse armour before but it didn't seep into destroying their main games until later)

This is what happens pretty much every time a big corporation lets is marketing team rung a project and it ceases to be about passion and starts to be about bleeding people try.

I never bothered. The moment they gave that detail that its online and an MMO, i went back to playing New Vegas.

The game crashing causing the os to corrupt on consoles happens with more than Fallout 76. I had it happen with rdr2 as well.

Horse armor DLC is all that must be said

"their bugs make the game fun" COPIUM

Oh and I bought it full price on the Xbox, immediately regretted it and didn't get a refund. It's the last time I buy a Bethesda game at launch, I'll wait a few months for the reviews

Mans legendary beard

It feels like every decision Bethesda made regarding this game had absolutely no chance of ever succeeding, yet they made them anyway. I've never found myself asking 'why' so many times as much as with this game.

Yea, chat is being dumb when they say "yes" because Bethesda did have a great track record prior to F76. The games they made were buggy for sure, but you can't tell me Skyrim would be great without the bugs. That's honestly a big part of why that game just never dies and stays fun.

13:54 i think they plan from the start that the game is just a base and what make the killing is in-game cash shop. so it save some money i think just give em card board instead of cd-rom

What pisses me off about the dev room is that it's an open world game that they talk a lot about free exploration, but if you DARE explore this open world completely, PERMABANNED. If they don't want people exploiting, just fix the issue yourselves instead of being lazy assholes. Like the bug fix mod in fallout 4 that forces you to get rid of achievements wven though the bugs that get fixed can literally ruin your playthrough with broken scripts.

Wait I have a actually disc of fallout 76 does that mean I have something rare

I don't think hype is a bad sign, I just think hyped games can fall WAY harder on their face. Also AAA games have more money in marketing than actual development so that contributes to it a lot.

It’s okay to like any game you want except Fallout 76. That’s basically a character flaw.
