Its a great show. Binged it, and while they lean way more into Bethesda’s own games, they absolutely do not leave out the first game through New Vegas and pay homage quite a bit.
People complain that it leans towards bathesda fallout. Well Bethesda fallout games have sold like 50 million copies while the first two only sold like 750k, so it’s no surprise they’re leaning on the more popular version.
That’s such a stupid take. That’s almost like saying if they’re going to make a movie about a COD game they should take inspiration from Ghosts and not the OG modern warfare, because Ghosts sold better than OG Modern Warfare. Doesn’t matter that the story of Ghosts is one of the worst in the series and MW story is arguably the best in the series.
If you’re going to make an adaptation you want what is the best quality, not what is the most popular. Popularity doesn’t necessarily mean quality. That said, I don’t care where the show leans, my expectations were already so low that simply getting it in the right ballpark was a win. But could’ve it been more true to the source material considering where it takes place? Absolutely.
No, they are going to lean into what is most popular.
Imagine if the show suddenly had the Fallout 1 pipboy and started going on about psykers, most people watching would be extremely confused.
I’m watching through it at the moment and yeah, it definitely makes me wanna do another playthrough.
Fallout 76 has been getting free dlc every three months since release. It’s packed with content 😍
Is there a mod that would decouple it from online play entirely? My biggest gripe with 76 is that the enemy behavior is janky as fuck because of lag; the monsters shouldn’t be rubber-banding when I’m in a solo room.
Can you even play solo without anyone around? I tried but I kept seeing other players in stupid outfits running around and it was annoying. I just want to play it as if it’s any other fallout, on my own
I wonder how many of them are just getting the games to learn who the hell the factions are because the show really didn’t say a helluva lot. I mean shit, they had a big reveal about one in the end, and if I hadn’t known them from the game the impact would have been lost entirely.
It’s definitely awesome as a fan. I’m interested in how non-fans enjoyed it though.
Is this why Epic announced that they would be giving them away for free, then on the day of, swapped them out for different games without a word? Lol
