Based on one of the greatest video game series of all time, Fallout is the story of haves and have-nots in a world in which there’s almost nothing left to ha...
I thought this trailer looked fantastic, I don’t know what the rest of you all are smoking. As a fallout fan it was more than enough to get me excited for the series, also Walton Goggins as a ghoul chefs kiss.
People need to remember that fallout isn’t the last of Us or god of war, fallout is a cool series with a cool world, but it’s not a masterpiece of story telling and writing. These showrunners aren’t making Lord of the rings over here, it’s not gonna be hard to make a decent show based in an established world.
They’re keeping the aesthetic and design, so I’m happy. But so many people don’t have a nuanced opinion anymore, and a show is either a perfect 10 or it’s “unwatchable garbage”. I’ve seen and loved shows that I give a solid 8 to, but anything below a nine gets called “shit” these days.
What? It’s almost universally accepted that New Vegas is one of the greatest RPGs of all time. Go through any “top RPGs of all time” list and you’re pretty much guaranteed to find New Vegas there, usually in the top half of the list.
Greatest action RPGs, perhaps. But even that has little bearing on TV show writing, since the important writing aspect of RPGs is the mass of options, not the actual writing itself.
Those clickbait bot written posts have a bigger significance than your “No it’s not lmao”. I’m gonna side with the bots rather than some self-important contrarian.
Wheel of Time is not bad imo. At least not season 2. The thing with that series is that it’s not possible to adapt every single thing from 14 books to 8 seasons with 8 episodes. I went into it as a new turn of the Wheel, and while the first season didn’t do much for me, with the second one I can actually see the beginnings of something that can become really good. I’m cautiously optimistic about the coming seasons now.
Rings of power was alright once you accepted it’s just a completely different adaptation with no connection to the previous films. And is also not being true to the books to a T. It’s far enough away from the events that I love in that world that I can separate it enough and still enjoy it.
I still would’ve preferred a more page by page adaptation of the Hobbit onwards though, especially the hobbit since it’s my favourite LOTR book.
You might want to re-read what I said cause I agree with a lot of that. Accepting it’s so different that I don’t even consider it a part of lord of the rings is what allowed me to enjoy my time watching it.
That said, I thought the first few seconds right up until Dogmeat started eating the Radroach looked pretty mid. I got really psyched and excited when I saw the BoS power armor
That was my impression too. The costumes and CG seemed a bit goofy to me.
But then again, so did the original Witcher trailer, and that ended-up looking mostly fine when I actually watched it, so…
It’s west coast fallout by Bethesda, and I really don’t know how I expect them to handle the established material. I hope they do justice to what’s been written already

It is not known.
No it’s not lmao. It was good but it’s far from anything like that

Wow all the clickbait bot written top 10 list blogs put it in the top half!!!
Maybe broaden your horizon a bit. You’re missing out.

Ok. Enjoy your mediocrity. Ignorance is bliss after all.
Alright Mr. Important. Go on, enlighten me. Give me your top 30 greatest RPGs of all time, in any order.
Of course not, Lord of the Rings already exists.
We’ve had first Lord of the Rings, yes, but what about second Lord of the Rings?
Well that didn’t stop Amazon from making them Rings of Power so don’t give anybody any ideas now.
I don’t want to set the world on fire.
But I will if they fuck this up.

Ah, ok so I’m broken and don’t have to worry.
I loved both those things.
Then I assume you’ll enjoy the Fallout show no matter what. Did you watch HALO, and if you did - Did you enjoy it?
It’s sad they only made one episode of Halo. I’d have watched a whole series as good as e1.
Well said. And yet you enjoyed the mentioned series? You are an enigma my friend.
Morbius… Good, bad or morbin’ amazing?
I actually haven’t seen it!

Looks a bit cosplay-y, honestly.
But also I’ve never been into Bethesda Fallout, so I’m already not as much of a target for this one, I suppose.
That was my impression too. The costumes and CG seemed a bit goofy to me. But then again, so did the original Witcher trailer, and that ended-up looking mostly fine when I actually watched it, so…

Yeah you’re right Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel is where I think this show should’ve taken its design notes from.
It’s west coast fallout by Bethesda, and I really don’t know how I expect them to handle the established material. I hope they do justice to what’s been written already
I’m with you. I was excited once I saw the first look photos. They took a lot of care with costume and set design
