TV/Film Fallout TV Show (Please use SPOILER tags)

[00Stinger]

I was trying to rank them by my own preferences over the weekend and defaulted 3 at number one but the more I thought about it the more I questioned it. I think I'd go NV for the first person games as while the game itself was more linear, it had all the features of 3 but upgraded. Of the isometric games probably 1 over 2. The intro of 2 is long and dull before it opens up and gets good. But then again from there it also does everything 1 does but better

If you include 1 & 2 you could include Wastelands in the discussion. Effectively the same games

Just finished watching the last episode. Wow. I've been sitting through every new episode of The Walking Dead and its spin-offs more through a determination to see it end rather than anything else, it being more filler than killer on the whole. But Fallout?

I haven't enjoyed, really ENJOYED, a TV show like that in decades. Loved it.

 

[Geelong_Sicko]

Watched 4 and 5 today. Trying to stretch it out instead of binge it in a day or two.

Yeah, I refused to binge either. Paid off big time, I really enjoyed the ride.

I love it when I recognise voice talent. I'd never have recognised the person by face but I knew who this bloke was straight away

I broke and watched the final two in one night. Couldn't wait, and also started running into spoiler posts that I had to stop reading.

Yeah I avoided this thread once I started watching. Takes discipline in this our Internet Age of Instant Knowledge!

I've only played 4 but I have played that a lot, and I enjoyed how familiar everything looked, from the vaults to the vendors and I swear that little house where the Ghoul had the conversation with Ponch from CHiPs was one of those prefab houses you could build in your settlements.

I'm kind of spewing New Vegas passed me by. Actually thinking about starting 4 again. Seems to be my thing atm. Played Cyberpunk again, played Death Stranding again and was seriously considering playing RDR again until this series came along.

I just genuinely cannot stand how that particular era of Bethesda's engine looked and played. I forced myself through F3, but gave up on the way to the dam at the end because I got ambushed on the way there and I had to walk the entire distance there and it felt like a slog knowing how the game ended.

I'd always get grumpy at the Cazadors and say '**** it' and start playing something else in NV.

Was waiting until I finished to venture into the thread.
Echo everything said above. Show was fantastic.
Insert Leo meme everytime I saw something from the games.
New Vegas is my favourite game of all time.
Actually preferred Fallout Tactics to 1 & 2 as far as the topdown games go.
Glad they seemed to leave a few things out for future seasons.
Just need to hear a "Three dogs eeeooowww" to complete my nerdgasms.

watched an episode last night - really enjoyable, i reckon they caught the tone extremely well.

They absolutely nailed the world, had the humour and carnage the games bring. Loved it.

I reckon we have seen it. Just wasn't pointed out so clearly.

I watched episode 1 last night and loved it. I have never played the games though, but I can see myself getting into them after watching this. Is there anything a freshie like me needs to know to better understand the series/world, or is it fine to watch through as a freshie with zero knowledge of the game?

I watched it without having played the games. Followed it easy enough. There's probably more than a few references I missed, but was still fine.

games are worth playing, though 1 & 2 are proper, proper hardcore RPGs.

worthwhile but a slog at some points

I just finished and I have to say that's probably the best conversion of a game to a series I have ever seen. It was true to the games look, humour and violence. They even managed to write a good story that kept my interest, and had a few real surprises. I think the folks running the Star Trek franchise could learn more than a few things about story telling from Fallout team. Good performances by the leads, too. I ll rate it 11/10.
