Grimbeard - Fallout Tactics - Brotherhood of Steel - (PC) - Review

I think a spam bot may be replying to some of you, I have reported it tho. This is the real grim here. Certainly NOT A BOT 😅

Does anybody else see the length of these videos and just get super excited?!?

Just a fun thought, here's a start of the list of things Tactics added to Fallout that are now well accepted or at least more common features: - Radroaches - Crouching - Splinter factions of the Brotherhood - Atomic/radiation worshipping cults - Hidden robot faction - Different flavors of Nuka Cola - The Brotherhood's Dirigibles - Cabal of brain jars (Big MT?) Can you guys think of any others? I think it's had a subtle but surprisingly deep legacy on the franchise

Does anybody else perpetually rewatch (really, re-listen to) Grimbo's content? It's just like a nice brain massage while I'm working.

It is true: Queen of the Damned soundtrack does go irresponsibly hard. It's like cinematic nu-metal.

I love that, despite being the face of the franchise, the BoS is so different in each game, like, in every game they are totally different factions, only their appearence are constant

you are by far one of the best creators on this platform, got the most detailed reviews and the funniest bits, and not to mention it just oozes style. It's amazing someone can take such a simple genre of video and still inject it with so much personality!

Growing up as a semi-poor person, FO: T was the first fallout game I got to expeience untill adulthood. Many a teenage hours were spent grinding the FO: T demo.

I've had anxiety and sleep issues these last few days, and your videos actually helped me a lot. I don't know why, I'm not sure if it's your voice, the music, the general vibe or your narration, but they're very calming. And while I was facing insomnia again tonight, you uploaded. Thanks a lot for your work, Grim.

The impact this game had on the fallout modding scene, the amount of mods that use tactics sprites is quite big

Hah, BUGTHESDA. They say that FALL0UT Tactics is non-canonical, & then contradict themselves by mentioning the existence of the rogue Midwestern B.O.S. in both, F3 & F4, & they even used one of their airships designs for F4 & named it PRYDWEN, which at the very least converts FALL0UT Tactics into a semi-canonical title!

What I got from the three "Fallout" videos: the second game having only eleven months in development and the creative leads bailing out during production became a bigger success than the first as well as larger in content. "Tactics" ended up being well received and a solid experience in spite of the numerous setbacks, corporate interference and a new developer shouldering the burden of fan expectations. What's the lesson? That crunch culture and the looming spectre of bankruptcy does wonders for the creative genius? I hope not. Perhaps that the first game, being in development for four years, really built a clear foundation in terms of world building, character interactions, questing, aesthetics and sound design. It made it easier to expand and tinker upon it for future sequels, spin-offs, expansions, mods while still feeling integrated in the "Fallout" world.

I have vivid memories of this game, after New Vegas came out Target had a Fallout Trilogy pack that I bought. Played all of them a lot on my laptop, but I've only ever finished Fallout one. But Tactics was a lot of fun just playing it as a violent roadtrip simulator while Lee Ermy yells at you for not getting the job done. And I loved it enough to get a box copy of it at a con for 40 bucks and it came with the game guide.

I really love that Grim Beard lives in like a spooky haunted house

it's great to see fallout tactics receiving some love. I absolutely loved this game and it was also the first fallout i ever played.

One of the few channels I have a visceral reaction to, seeing a new video available. Thanks for your work Grim

That beast tribe town mission with the hostages gave me nightmares, it was way to easy to get bogged down in a fight anywhere in the town and the hostages killed. Eventually had to drug up my guys with everything so that I could run straight to the hard won locations of the hostages.

I was having a rough night at work, but being able to listen to this helped to take my mind off things. I greatly appreciate all that you do. Keep it up :)

I for one, really wish that another crack at "Fallout, But Tactics" would happen; it's a great IP and world for it. Tons of unique and interesting stuff to do with it. A modernized, but not full on nuXCOM would be great. I also wish Mass Effect would get a treatment similar to a Tactics spinoff as it would also be great for it. Similarly, and I'm gonna keep shilling this idea and hope it gets stolen: an interequel RPG set in ME's crazy world of corporate espionage would be SICK. Just imagine the shit you could get up to.. unnnnfff.

Just have to say that I love this channel. It just hits all the spots for me - the games, the editing, the jokes, the voice - it all just clicks into an immensely enjoyable experience. Thank you very much for your efforts and let the Goth Gamer Revolution take the world!
