It’s surprisingly good. Two of the leads are really good. The other one gets better as the show goes on. The prop and stage design is as close to 1:1 that you can get, which is impressive.
It kinda fizzles out at the end, but the journey is a lot of fun. Definitely recommend it.
I was making fun of the show when I read an interview that said they created an origin for Vault Boy. But I think they actually nailed it. It makes you look at the thumbs up image in a darker way, which is perfect for Fallout. And it didn’t seem shoehorned in.
I haven’t watched it, but my understanding is they fucked up the NCR. Someone on rock-paper-shotgun described it as “Bethesda wants fallout to be kitschy mad max and nothing more”, and that felt pretty apt. But again I haven’t watched it so I’m just second hand griping.
That’s pretty much it. Bethesda hand-of-gods Fallout to never develop too far, for an eternal shantytown aesthetic with super mutant orcs and Brotherhood everywhere.
Ehhh kind of? After watching it, it feels a lot more like they want to show the rebuilding of the NCR, so I wouldn’t exactly say they did things to the NCR just because they wanted a more Mad Max Apocalypse style.

I fired up fallout 1 after watching it.
My kinda guy. First time playing it?
Nope. Played it all the way through when it first came out. But haven’t touched it since then.
Both 1&2 are awesome games, hope it matches up to your memories of them all those years ago!
I (unrelatedly) finally started playing new Vegas just a few days ago. Is the show any good?
It’s really freaking good somehow.
It knocked my stupid socks off… although I wasn’t sure how the concept could even work

Out of curiosity, which one do you think gets better?
Max. I couldn’t stand him the entire first half of the season. Lucy and especially Goggins were great throughout.
Agreed on all counts. Last episode was the weakest, in my opinion, but overall is a very good show.
Live action Mr. Handy!!!
Top points for Matt “Wolves!” Berry voicing him.
“Fatheeeeeeeeeeer!”
“Can you even imagine how weird it is to come home after a long day and hear yourself welcome you and offer you a seat in your own house?”

The thumbs up thing has been implied in the lore for a long time. All they did was attach a specific person to it.
Ah didn’t realize that. Thanks

They even nailed the Fallout grotesque
The show is pretty good honestly. As a pretty big fan of the franchise I’m enjoying it compared to the dumpster fire that is Halo.
What do you mean you don’t like the show where a canonically asexual character commits statutory rape?
It’s not The Wire or The Sopranoes.
It is genuinely fun and bingeable.
Is there any mod that helps with modernising the control? I have no idea how me from 8 years ago able to chew through fo1 and 2
I wonder how it’d play on the Deck with controller inputs
