Fallout TV Show just dropd and damn it's bad

[The Real Private Kowalski]

Maybe it's because i don't like stupid drama shows but OH MY GOD THIS WAS BAD

I could only watch a few minutes of the show before i gave up Fallout is about killing every NPC on the strip because an NCR trooper said "Patrolling the Mojave almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter" not stupid lady gets marred Fallout is about helping a mad AI put FEV into the water supply of DC while listening to Stars and Stripes forever not whatever ♥♥♥♥ the TV show is about

Anyways that's just my rant about the TV show after hate-watching a few minutes of it
makes me sad. If this is how the TV show is i wonder how bad Fallout 5 will be VARY BAD



Edit: Because some of you can't read here is one of the reply's i made saying I've changed my mind about it. You can all shut up now

Okay so i gave the show a second chance and after the 1st episode it's not that bad. -the lore retcons

The Ghoul IMO was the best part of the show both in the pre and post war. Maximus and Lucy where okay but i didn't like them as much

i hate how they made it so that vault tek started the great war but i guess it still kind of works in the lore that vault tek and the enclave started it

The stuff about the vault 33 overseer nuking shady sands was stupid (like how tf does he even get the nukes) and pre war vault tek lady number 20 leading the NCR remnant was also kind of stupid

As for the enclave showing up in the show it's okay i guess i'm not sure what is even still cannon from FO 1, 2 and NV so maybe the battle of Navarro does not happen or it's ENCLAVE Vault-Research/MacArthur Army Base

Also the masters army not finding Vaults 4, 31, 32 and 33 is stupid

IMO the worst part of the show (other then the first 30 mins of episode 1) was all the retcons

Also in the pre war part where all the higher ups meat Sinclair is for some reasin representing Big MT even though Big MT was ran by the united states gov and Sinclair was buying tech from them and not running the place also REPCON was there too even though by that point in the timeline it was bough out by RobCo so it does not make scene that they where there

overall the show was a 4/10 i would have given it a 6/10 but the retcons to west coast lore brought it down

I think people are underestimating this show in a lot of ways.
This was only season 1.

They built up season 2 wonderfully and with some great twists.

I think people were expecting the show to be extremely similar to the games in terms of story but I thought it was wonderfully done with dark-satirical humor to add into the extreme violence they have added throughout.

For the things about New Vegas hate. As far as I know this is 5 years before or after NV game.
So if it's 5 years after then what happened is completely plausible.

I genuinely think people are expecting too much to coincide with the games, Things will obviously be different

Analogy: The last of us show. Completely changed many aspects from the game and was still beloved (regarding the fact the show also was telling a almost similar but partially reimagining of the game)

Also people thinking minor items should be explained is weird? For people who don't know they get to visibly see what those items do to affect the character that uses them in the show, Unless you're an extremely slow learner or just not paying attention it explains enough without going into unnecessary detail into unimportant things.

All in all, I absolutely loved the show as a Fallout fan, I'm extremely excited for what's to come next.

If you only watched episode 1 or parts of the show then I can't see you really having the place to share an opinion with such little knowledge of the show. It did so many things amazingly while keeping each episode completely fresh.

I loved it and can't wait for season 2. There are a lot of plot holes and time glitches that are not explained (yet) but all in all its pretty solid Fallout for me

Would you have watched it without the Fallout branding?

[Arkainin]

No clue what you're on about mate. I am loving it so far. The first episode is a little slow, but all Fallout games also start a bit slow. They are introducing people who have never even heard of Fallout to the world and lore.

Sounds like you're just primed to hate it for some reason.

Total agree. I loved the show. Some people are just wanting to complain I think. I think the showrunners did a great job sneaking in a ton of nods to the game while also being accessible to those who've never heard of it.

This is one of the problems with gamers, anytime something of ours goes mainstream people have to ♥♥♥♥ on it because it's not exactly identical to what they have going on in their head and it's not 100% like the game.

To be honest, so far, the series is the most true to the source out of any game-to-TV adaptation I've ever seen.

[NightmareGats]

You're all delusional if you thing its good, you're not an original fallout fan, but actually a Bugthesda fan.
Plot holes, nonsensical stuff, garbage ghoul that doesn't resemble one, trash power armor,etc.
People who loved the show probably loved whatever Disney has to offer nowadays.

Completely agree.

The show made me want to replay the series and so far throughout New Vegas.

Hearing Shady Sands being referenced in the games and looking back at the show seeing and finding out what happened was incredibly cool.

Most people were guaranteed expecting the show to run through like how the games do, constantly killing, doing wacky side quests and expecting a brand new plot..

The show was made for a wider audience and following the very reasonable and obviously working plot of leaving the vault to search for a family member worked perfectly. They added really interesting twists and expanded so much on the pre bomb drop society of the world and into the dark secrets of Vault-Tec.

Reworking the entire story to fall in line or to line up with any of the games “New Vegas mainly” is unreasonable especially considering HOW MANY ENDINGS NEW VEGAS HAS.

They obviously lore dumped and chose this route to please everyone so no diehard fanboys would freakout about their favorite playthrough/ending of NV not being canon…

People need to be happy that we got such an extraordinarily well done Fallout show that stayed true to the games form of identity while also playing it safe in a post apocalyptic america that we know so much about already

Tim Cain like the show too, and he made Fallout.

I put a hundred dollars in your shower and a week later its still there.

While I like Tim and respect his opinion on RPGs, he's not someone I go to for movie or show recommendations. Of course, in usual fashion, he spent more than half of the video where he talked about the show talking about everything but he show, bless him.

I'm glad he liked it, but it's not going to raise my interest.

I am indifferent, though it is probably the first time I have watched a program adapted from a game franchise to the end. That is saying something.

Experience in watching Game adapted films doesn't really matter.
To each their own on if they enjoy the show but it's factually wrong to say this show is a bad adaption.
That would just be die-hard fanboy behaviour. At the same time you can ask those people what they would do or have done to make the show "good" in their mind and they would be left speechless since they aren't filmmakers.

If you're wanting to compare "Fallout series" to other adapted game media then take a look at "the last of us - compared to the game" or halo series compared to the game. Tomb raider movies compared to the games. Uncharted movie compared to the games. They all completely deviate and try and do their own thing while using the "Name" and similar style.

Fallout genuinely stayed true to its material its adapting from. While pushing for even more story and opportunities of places to go and expand upon. With really good choreographed action to dark yet satirical humor it did things extremely well.

People often forget how ridiculous the games can be, how the games are open world RPGS.
The fact that they made a first season that is actually fun and engaging to watch is a big accomplishment. Especially for a series like fallout with an incredible amount that could have easily been messed up

[Knugen]

Might not be relevant but, Josh Sawyer liked what he saw.

I am generalising. My experience, programs/movies based on games have been typically bad, this was not.

Tim Cain liked it too. I'm happy for them. They're more entitled to an opinion on Fallout than most other people. Won't make me interested in the show, though.

[Gundalf]

You obviously didn't watch longer than the first episode then. They could've done a better job.
