Fallout - Tv show based on the video game

mom has seen better days

 

Spoiler

anyone catch Gary the vault clone? Figured they would Easter egg him in there somewhere

 

Saw the first two episodes. I like it. The one main character who is with the knights though, he has a weird and creepy smile. It makes me uncomfortable.

 

To me it feels a little too obvious that he’s gonna have a heel turn.

 

Pretending that the singing that plays during The Ghoul theme is actually Walton Goggins just making random noises and yodeling

 

Just finished it that was real fucking good and nailed the feel of Fallout perfectly. So many good references to the games too.

looks like they’re doing

Spoiler

New Vegas

for season two and the correct and best ending will be the canon

 

Really, really enjoyed that.

I'm stoked for season 2.

 

So does anyone know what it is some people are mad about? Something to do with retconning parts of the games?

 

A lot of weirdos out there are upset about the chalkboard with the timeline in

Spoiler

Vault 4

. It shows what happened in Shady Sands as taking place before the events of New Vegas. Meaning the NCR would not have been around for New Vegas. It’s bullshit as there’s dozens of references to the NCR being spread thin and on its last legs all throughout New Vegas, hell you can nuke Shady Sands yourself in Fallout 2.

It’s just manufactured outrage from media illiterate chuds looking to shit on something new because it’s reaching new audiences and they hate Todd Howard who is the reason New Vegas even exists.

 

Also it probably means the show will go with the House ending of NV as “canon” for the show

which is the correct move to make

 

I don't know. Todd seems jealous of NV because they didn't make it and it's the best Fallout.

 

maybe, maybe not, it’s all conjecture

what I do know is that Todd seems perfectly fine with NV being part of the timeline and that’s all I’m worried about

 

on episode one. power armor fucks

 

Binged it, loved it. Will be replaying some of the series now.
I think I’ve only played New Vegas, 4 and maybe 76.

 

never played the game, two eps in and I'm digging it, Goggins is fucking great

 

Dude is just flat out amazing in every role he does. And has crazy range.

 

bro thread title absolutely needs Okey Dokey in it.

 

It’s hard to get better than both Goggins and Matt Berry together chewing up the scenery.

 

Just finished episode 1. I’ve been waiting a long time for this show.

 

Is that Benny in your avatar?

 

Truth is, the game was rigged from the start

 

Christopher Nolan makes a movie about the making of the atomic bomb

Jonathan Nolan comes in the following year and makes a TV show about what happens when the bombs get dropped

Is there a better pair of siblings

 

Which game should I start replaying first?

 

Play 3 if you haven’t

 

I started playing 76 the other night and now I can't get this out of my head... bongo bongo bongo I don't want to leave the Congo, oh no no no no no.

 

he kicked the bucket...oh well fuck fuck fuck it.

 

I've been thinking about giving it a try. I hear it's a lot better now.

 

Never played the game. Still enjoyable?

 

My wife liked it and never watched.

 

Tried to play the game once and never played it again.

Enjoying the show a lot right now

 

Always heard 76 was the worst and New Vegas was the best. Only ever played 4

 

I don’t like 76 at all. 4 plays better and is fun, but 3 and NV are the best and even for me as the two best

 

I actually don't think I ever finished NV. 3 was my first entry to the series and remains the GOAT for me. It was the first non-turn-based RPG I can remember throwing so many hours into.

 

New Vegas was my favorite followed by 3 and then 4. The setting for NV is just top notch.

 

I only tried playing 76 recently because it was super cheap and I was curious. Probably done with it. Tried to replay 3 and it kept crashing so I said fuck it and restarted 4 yesterday.

 

Is there some essential mods for 3 or NV to make it more enjoyable gameplay-wise in 2024? I want to play but am pretty certain the gameplay from 2008 will make me quit within 2 hours. Would like it to be on par with FO4 feeling ideally.

 

Really wish they would remaster 3 and NV for the current gen consoles.

 

I could go for a full blown remake of either since we won't be getting a new FO anytime soon.

 

Hard pass

 

Show was great outside of episode 2 (Ghoul vs Maximus fight was extremely bad imo). I never played 1,2, and Tactics, so I started 1 the other day. I'm planning on playing them all and then getting into 76 after. I can't say I'm looking forward to playing 4 again, so I might bow out of that one quickly and just watch some YouTube vids.

 

finished ep4. last night, think I'm gonna give this game a shot....haven't really been following along with the game chat, running under the assumption I should start with the first game?

 

you don’t really need to play them in any order. Really 3, NV, and 4 in that order is preferable but 3 and NV are really old
