Fallout Shelter's Unfortunate Pay-to-Win Paradox

Real Fallout Shelter OGs edit their save files instead of spending money in the game.

I beat the game and have everything without dropping a dime. I filled up my shelter to 200 all with legendary weapons and Armour. Zero dollars spent.

I have 700,000 caps and that's just by looking for Mysterious Strange, sending out ALL my dwellers out in the wasteland then just sell everything.

Huh.... I collect Quantums. I never use then apart from the tutorial. The game stops being interesting once your perfect vault is done, and then you'll eventually just start over.

Here's a tip.. when on missions instead of using nuka cola to speed up, just change the time on your phone or device ahead

People who got an almost infinite amount of resources by just playing the game for fun: Look what he needs to reach a fraction of our power

I did everything that needed to be done in this game, without spending a single penny, it took forever but I did it, the problem is that after updating everything the game no longer has challenges.

I started playing this game again on my new phone after previously playing on an old device In roughly a month, I have reached 120 dwellers and wait time just don't really hold you back anymore I am at the point where nukacola just gets stockpiled because once I do all of the things that need to be done I am satisfied with my play session I think that the transactions in this game only speel to people who have recently started playing and as you play and have more things to deal with these boosters aren't really needed anymore. I think that anyone can enjoy this game without spending money because the player gets given enough premium currency and items just from playing to be able to sustain your attention. In my case there's more than enough.

The idea of idle games is always that it's a slow burn to waste your mind on a few times throughout the day. Cheating to increase progress is just killing the game for yourself.

Great video. However, I got to point out one error, the return trip is only half-time. If a dweller is out 3 days, it only takes 36 hours to return. Another annoying cavoite is that if at any point on the return trip, if you turn your dweller BACK around and out the clock goes back to the original distance time of 3 days and will continue to increment from there. then the return trip will once again be half of the new value, NOT the returned value you already awaited.

Miss the days of pimp my vault in the app store

I would call it, "pay to speed up." Sorry, takes 2 weeks for that armor to be made? See ya innn....2 weeks.

It's a common issue and not just with mobile games - many RPGs have DLC available which gives you overpowered weapons or armour from the start of the game. It's a nice power rush when you start, but it rapidly collapses when you realise that you've tricked yourself into removing the fun from the game, since winning is no longer a matter of skill or challenge - and you've often also destroyed your own chance of winning, because once you reach the endgame where those items are suited to your level, you don't have the skill needed to win against enemies that are actually of the same level as you. Cheating in single-player games has its place, but needs to be approached with an abundance of caution. These days I largely limit it to games which I know I'll never beat honestly and just getting the power fantasy is fine because I get to see large chunks of the game that I would otherwise never see. Usually shmups. I played the original Turrican on the Amiga this way and had a blast.

Ì think the saddest thing about fallout shelter is that its sequel is so far from the original that's it should be its own game. Not a sequel or a continuation of the previous game. It stopped being mini colony/city building sim its just a gacha pvp game that has fallout shelter stickered on it.

Pro tip Play this video on 1.25 speed and he sounds normal

I appreciate that all the apparent rambling was actually leading up to your main point. It made me indeed feel poggers for watching through until the end.

Chief your video is way better then it should be for how small your channel is, big ups pimp

When you go questing you can also change the target of your dwellers if you didn't know

Ayo I didnt think I would see such a good video from a youtuber with 2 subs but damn this video was good You just gained a sub
