The wasteland is going get even bigger.
I’m a bit split about this series. On one hand it has great world buliding, solid cinematography and style, interesting places and encounters, and so on. But on the other the main story is very bland, mostly about teasing you with the unknown, the tone flips wildly between goofy and serious, and I can’t really sympathize with any of the characters. Kinda lika a typical Bethesda game I suppose, but it’s not really working for me as a TV series.

So its staying true to the source material, then.
also I am not shocked at all Bethesda wanted to destroy new vegas, I’m sure thats a metaphorical middle finger to obsidian for daring to release a more popular game than they were able to, lol.
Tod Howard literally confirmed that NV is still cannon, and that >!shady sands was nuked shortly after NV!<.
You are responding as if I said NV wasnt cannon?
Come on, it’s 2024. You can’t expect reading comprehension from these people!
I mean, Who knows.
So many people on Lemmy ignore what you say and reply to what they imagined you said so they can be all pissy and petulant, that its genuinely impossible to tell if its reading comprehension or not.
Considering the only correction they made was a spoiler tag; I’m going to go ahead and say it’s reading comprehension. But yes, you’re right, it is difficult to tell.
I’ve never understood tone flipping wildly as a criticism. I prefer the tone to have a wide swing in my media. Matt Smith was an amazing doctor because 1 second he could be a total goof, and a deadly “old” man the next.
Matt Smith’s Doctor is the only I actually believed when he would say “Guns are bad, kids!” and then do a genocide anyways.
Normally I just roll my eyes when he kills them with SCIENCE! instead, but that one was just crazy enough that I believed he believed it.
If i didnt have to have prime i’d be all over it
U can watch it on movie-web for free (https://movies.fmeee.ovh) No ads no trackers No BS
I’m only two episodes in, and I like it even more than The Last of Us.
If they keep the quality up, this is one series that could keep going for years just on existing lore.
i finished it and i agree. i liked TLOU (show and lesser extent game), but Fallout had enough of the game’s…surreal?…humour that it bumped it from an “oh god this is a slog through human misery” (not in a bad way, per se!) to “miserable, but with bits of unexpected hilarity” for me.
both great shows - hope we get more like them!
Big take away for me is both stay true to the source material… minor changes but nothing over the top. The attention to detail in fallout is incredible, even down to the controls that open the doors in the vault.
So many shows just go so far away from the source they’re terrible.
I think it is incredibly mediocre. It’s fine, but it doesn’t really do anything for me. I still have some episodes left though.
Characters seem randomly chosen and development is with glacial speed until calving.
Gonna watch it through though.
The biggest Amazon show since The Expanse? Of course it’s was going to get renewed. Not surprised.
This is
House of the DragonEarthworm Jim erasure. Also, The Expanse was a SyFy original.Edu: changed to an ACTUAL Amazon show. The best one ever, no less.
Do you mean rings of power?
I tried to watch that garbage. I should be the target audience, but I wasn’t desperate enough.
Well, it’s currently the most popular show in IMDB with an 8.6/10 rating so renewing for another season is not exactly a though decision to make.
Gosh the show is just a dumpster fire too… 8.6 my ass. Do yourself a favor and watch Shogun on Hulu or Silo on Apple TV

It seems decent enough, worth the watch (I just finished watching it).
I’ve never played any of the games though, so maybe those who have may have a different perspective on the quality?
Amazon owns IMDB, it’s a tainted resource.
