Noah Caldwell-Gervais review and analysis on Fallout 4

A

apostrophe

First time out of the vault
Hello all. Just registered here so I could share this with you guys. Seeing the appreciation Yatzee was shown with his review, I'd like to show you this fellow's.

Noah's channel dedicated to deep, expanded analysis of game franchises, and just yesterday he has released a 40 minute piece about the fourth one. Mind you, aware at all times of the antecedent games, he has played and analysed as well , two years ago.

A warning: this is not an exciting biased bashing, but a thorough look at successes and failures of mechanics, themes, moods and presentation.

Hope you like, and if you do, do look at his other videos; his work on Alien vs predator and call of duty games are incredible.
 
Yeah, that review was posted in the News section just yesterday, too. And I think Noah himself used to post here once in a while, btw.
He makes some pretty awesome videos, although I find them to be a bit too long sometimes.
 
Can't stand the guy, frankly. Not after his response to me when I took his views on the -shock series to task and explained why Infinite is to the -shock series what Fallout 4 is to the Fallout IP.
 
Interesting videos, I've had fun listening to them. If you enjoy videos like that, the sort of deep analysis thing, I recommend this guy, he's really good. https://www.youtube.com/user/Archengeia Though he is a bit over the top at times, he makes some great points and he's very intelligent.

It's ok, it was just in a comment in the News forums, and it's certainly worthy of some discussion.
For example, Noah mentions that Vault 13's water chip was designed to fail as part of the experiment, but I'm not sure if that's correct. As far as I know it was supposed to be a control group, to be openend after 200 years, the water chip failing basically cut that experiment short (because a shipping error redirected the spare chips to Vault 8 or something like that).
 
Action Points does good stuff too. I really liked the one he did on Borderlands 2, and HL2. The FO series would be a perfect video for him to make.

Oooooor... the Guardian of Forever :V

(Oh shit, that's it - there's the possibility to canonize a time travel paradox! How did they miss this oportunity, that would explain why the institute is SO focused on that one baby! Shaun - the leader of the institute knows that he IS that baby, and he and the entire organization will cease to exist as is, unless he kidnaps himself as a baby!)
 
I thought how it originally went(as in, unless it was retconned), was that 13 wasn't supposed to open for awhile, the chip failing was complete accident.

This is correct.

Vault 13 wasn't supposed to open up for like 200 years, but the water chip broke, and they didn't have any replacements due to the replacements accidentally being shipped somewhere else, so the Overseer sent you out to find one.

This is also why he didn't let you back in, he was trying to prevent you from being able to convince others to leave, to try to preserve the experiment as best as possible.

Most of his videos are really well thought out.

*Did he say that those ~what 20-50 names give him $10 a month?

Yeah, Patreon can be a real life saver for some starving-artist-types. And if you're good and famous you can make a really good living of it actually. Like, the guy from the webcomic Questionable Content makes over $9500 per month on Patreon alone.
