Fallout Show, so bad that no one will remember it in 3 months

Weird. I really enjoyed it. Loved the characters, liked the story, and all the little nods to the games and fandom were nice and didn't feel out of place. Probably one of the better adaptations I've seen.

Gamers are so fucking weird. Really enjoyed the show. Hope they make 2nd season.

The show is not high art. No one will be winning an Emmy for acting. It certainly doesn't warrant the high rating on RT. But it's entertaining, engaging, visually stimulating and a fantastic adaptation of the games.

If you're expecting a Last of Us calibre deep dive into society and the human condition coping with an apocalypse, you'll be disappointed. If you're expecting a fun romp through the wastelands with body parts gratuitously exploding into red mist, then look no farther!

Lol, bullshit. 94%/88% on RT.

The show is awesome, and has already been greenlit for S02. It would have been so easy to fuck this show up, but they knocked it out of the park. As an avid player of the games, I loved it! This reviewer doesn’t know what they’re talking about.

I've played all the Fallout games, my wife has played none of them. We are both enjoying it quite a bit so far, at least two episodes in.

I think the show is actually a pretty good adaptation.

Fandomwire wants clicks, clearly.

obvious troll is obvious

Psh everyone I’ve talked to that’s seen it loved it

The title/headline is purely for engagement, right? It has to be.

I haven't seen it yet but I haven't heard a single negative thing about the show yet. Only praise and lots of "it's way better than I expected"

This person has zero IMDB credits. Call me after making literally anything even remotely approaching the quality of anything Bethesda has ever sneezed out.

Does he maybe have some semblance of a point about NCR and New Vegas? Sure, but if that makes it a 'bad show' that 'no one will watch', please let me point you at Star Wars, which jettisoned its own extremely substantial extended universe to the chagrin of long time fans and is doing fine.

Can't you just, like, look at it like anime or like Douglas Adams?

Yes, we get multiple iterations of more or less the same story in different mediums. No, they aren't exactly the same. Is that a problem? Does the Ranma 1/2 TV series have to match the OVH or they're both shit?

Do I have to choose only the Hitch-Hiker's Guide books, or the radio series, or the show, or the movie? Am I not allowed to enjoy them all?

Is it really more economically viable to make a living being an entitled and cynical jackass about other people's work than to go make your own?

I'm a franchise loyalist and I am so, so, so past caring about this New Vegas shit. There's no guarantees that New Vegas isn't in despair off an external shot. And even if it is, I'm interested in hearing how it goes.

The show was great.

Cold takes from crybabies.

I enjoyed the show. Even my wife who doesn't like these types of shows enjoyed it mostly besides the gore. She liked the different perspectives from the main characters

Retconning the only modern Fallout game with a decent story and good writing as opposed to all the garbage they put out.

Never change, Bethesda.

We’re loving it so far.

The show isn't that bad but it's also definitely not as good as the people here are making it sound. The copium levels in this thread are off the charts. The show is mediocre. That's all there is to it. Stop over thinking it

New Vegas is the best of the modern Fallout games, but toxic elements in its fan base are making me enjoy the game less and less each year. We should stop giving them the time of day.

The show is great, and these people are just fishing for nonsense to feed their persecution complex.

I love Fallout and played 3, NV, and 4 avidly. It's a good adaptation. A little campy, but it feels like something made by people who know and love the source material. And with the goofy moments come some real nasty aspects of the wasteland laid bare with no question as to how nasty it is, even in the first couple episodes.

The Vaults setup was unique enough to feel new, but fit the Vault-Tec MO nicely. 4 felt generic, but I think it was mainly included for people who didn't play the games so they could get a general vibe.

The subtle nods are nice, with enough items and mechanics from the games peppered through to make it feel like part of the universe. Some are on the nose like Sugarbombs, but I've recognized generic NPC armor from the games on extras in the background.

It was also odd but fun to see game mechanics work in real time, like seeing drugs heal a grievous injury

If you want an adaptation of Fallout story it may fall short with the lighter stuff. But if you want an adaptation of a Fallout playthrough I think you're I for a good time.

My friend described it with the phrase "reddit liked it," and I immediately crossed it off our list

According to my Steam stats I played the 3rd one for about twenty minutes. The game engine seriously hurt it. The show was worth watching because it had nowhere to go but up.

They should have made one more episode to where after she gets out, they explain some of the factions, the monetary system, and where in the Wasteland they are. All in all, I liked it and can't wait until season 2.

I've finished 3 fallout games but fortunately don't remember any of it well enough for any of this to mean anything to me so I can just enjoy the show.

I stopped watching in the first episode when the tiny girl beat up a muscular huge man.

Felt like avengers but she is supposed to be a normal girl right? I felt it was so dumb.

I played the games. I think the show's sets and designs are good, but I can't get into it. It just feels like sequalitis with no soul.

Anything I should be aware of if I decide I'd like to give it a watch?

Best thing in the show was the mistery of vault 31 and the solution was extremely underwhelming. I think people just need time to digest. I hate Maximus.

i am a big new vegas fan, and follow a lot of youtubers and other parts of the fandom - I havent seen this backlash against the show this article mentions? Most NV fans are pretty happy with it that Ive seen.

Maybe this is only happening in the more toxic circles?

sounds like gamer shit flinging as per usual

I agree, it's not very good.
