I’ve the opportunity to watch it and i want to know if it’s worth it or not, because game-based shows are known to be not that great.
Edit : at the moment i write this, im at episode 3, they seems to have respected the game’s lore even if i disagree with the cause they choose in the scenario to force the hero to left the vault.
Three episodes in, fantastic so far
Watched the first ep and it’s pretty good. You can really tell the writers played and appreciated the game
It’s very entertaining
Having a hard time sticking with it, partway through episode two. It seems very tropey and cliched, which I guess is part of the feel of the franchise. For some reason I don’t feel drawn into the story.
Binged it in one night, I enjoyed it a lot.
Binged, thoroughly enjoyed and now await season2
Watched 6 episodes and I think I’m done. It’s boring and very contrived and simply written. I’m not enjoying any of the characters or performances either
The prop and costume design is well done. That’s about it
Also, they erased the New California Republic despite setting the show in California. Not sure why Bethesda hates ideas that they didn’t personally create, but it’s very off-putting
Sounds like the average Bethesda-Fallout
The NCR plays a big part in the show. I think that revelation is in episode 7 though.
I agree on the plot being contrived, but I still enjoyed it regardless. That could just be because I’m a huge fallout fan though.
I watched episode 1.
I’m delighted they kept the feel and aesthetic of the games. I thought they might change it and just be Fallout in name.
That being said, I thought the majority of the show was boring, slow, directed poorly, and I just didn’t buy most of the characters and therefore didn’t feel anything for them.
Watched the first episode and thought the pacing was slow. It was the first episode lol
I’m not sure what you’re getting at. There’s no rule that says first episodes have to be slow. But more to my point, slow also doesn’t mean it has to be boring. Most of it was.
It’s good and has good acting sets humor plot and politics
So far so good 3 episodes in.
The look and feel of the world is great.
The characters are pretty believable.
Writing is good so far.
Is the writing like fallout though? Or is it gonna just be some soap opera like the walking dead?
Trust me… The writing is very much with the same dark/silly humor as the game. You even get characters ignoring their main quests and going to clear side quests.
I just watched the first episode and I’m pretty pleased. However, my friend watching with me had never played the games and I’m sure was rolling their eyes each time I said, “that’s in the game, that’s in the game!” And my reflex to hold my thumb up the moment I saw Vault Boy with that lasso.
Not soap opera-y at all imo, 4 episodes in. It’s great, it feels like the fallout world 100%
It’s extremely good. They really knocked it out of the park. It’s already been renewed for season 2.
It constantly makes me smile, whether it’s being smart, the actors are giving perfectly calibrated performances, or the action suddenly goes wham-bam VATS over the top.
3 eps in. Happy.
I only ever watched Fallout being played so I don’t really know or follow it at all but I really fucking enjoy it and I can’t wait to see New Vegas in the next season that’s just going to be fucking Wild… and I mean fucking Walton Goggins how can you fucking go wrong that shit is fucking sick
They gonna put New Vegas in the next season ?
Well I noticed that at the end of every episode, the weird Graphics at the end showed what was happening in the next episode… and the last episode of episode 8 they showed graphics for New Vegas so I’m assuming I’m just assuming
Great show so far. We used to complain about how Hollywood would change everything we loved from a game series, when translating to the screen. This show literally takes place within the canon of the games, and shares every bit of lore and design that games do.
All my coworkers were saying they loved it this morning. Source: Nerdy bartenders.
