Roland Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Unless things have changed, days survived is always equal to your level whenever it is less than your level. So if you are level 30 then your days survived value will also be 30 after you respawn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something has definitely been changed with gamestage spawns; by now I'd have a swarm of irradiated zombie types at my doorstep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried playing it but it seemed too far away from the BGS version I like. I can see why some original Fallout fans felt what BGS is wrong, but coming at it as a BGS fan first their version is better for me at least. The original developed all the cool lore and back story though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm starting at Fallout 1 and working my way through them. I'm looking forward to Tactics to see what they did there. I'm not much of a Bethesda fan, nor a Fallout fan, but I do recognize the impact and significance. I guess I'm considering this a game study.

Although serious in tone there were also alot of light hearted moments that made me chuckle. It also may have been the first post apocalypse type games I played so it was different then anything I've played story/rpg wise. Edit: I know 7d2d will probably be more story light compared to other RPGs but I think can still do a fine job. Trader Rekt and Jen are great examples of that. Everyone wants to kick in Trader Rekts teeth for his ungrateful remarks...and for Trader Jen the new dialog responses are nice and light hearted.

Knowing YouTube, they copyright anything, including their own royalty-free music at times. Bots will be bots. If you plan on uploading a video to YouTube that includes the menu music, you should be fine, but be aware that the YouTube Gods might knock at your door at some point. Edit: I was referring to a couple tens of seconds of audio. The whole thing? I'm not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be used to play over edited content of a game that shall not be named to avoid being temp banned again. That's why I was asking if it was fair use.

I'm not much of a Bethesda fan, nor a Fallout fan, but I do recognize the impact and significance. I guess I'm considering this a game study. The originals were all turn based games. So they played a lot slower and more strategic. Tactics also was turn based but I think they introduced a new real-time mode which was decent. I think I kept to the traditional turned based mode though. When Fallout 3 was first announced I was a bit skeptical how they would transition to a FPS game especially the aiming system. One of the strategic fun in the originals were that you could aim at certain body parts. I felt Fallout 3 did a great job with the VATS system to keep some of that same strategic fun alive. I still remember finding the unique "Lincoln's Repeater" rifle and exploding head's in slow motion from far away. So satisfying..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtomicUs5000 Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 When you are the owner of content, you have the ability to either allow YouTube to automatically disable videos when YouTube detects the use of your content (while giving the channel a strike for unauthorized use), to automatically monetize them so that you get those funds and not the uploader, or to notify you on a per video basis to decide what to do. A lot of people are afraid of getting strikes using the music from games, and rightfully so. Many times people do get strikes, but it's mainly because the content creators (in this case the game devs) monetize their own videos but failed to set how to handle when other people upload the same content. I don't think TFP is a YouTube partner. However, if someday down the road they become one and monetize their own videos, and they forget to set how to handle copyright claims, every single person uploading 7D2D content with music will start getting strikes. The best thing to do in my opinion is to request permission of usage from TFP via email. This way if things change, whether on purpose or on accident, you as a content creator are protected from YouTube's guidelines. The gaming industry really needs some changes made I think when it comes to things like this. In other words, audio and video should be considered fair use when the content is a presentation of the game play, much like other fair use situations that are currently protected such as for education or parody.

No other studio or company allows you to do that with their product without explicit permission, such as a sponsorship. Music, food and drink brands, etc. come to mind. Sure, some game studios follow the norm - Nintendo, for example - but it's quite remarkable if you ask me that game streams and let's plays are even a thing in the first place.
