Man, I have no idea if this is gonna be good or not. I’m interested to see reviews.
It’s kinda like a popcorn movie so far (ep 5). Enjoyable, obvious, fun. Campy. So violent it’s not.
I can’t recall any time Fallout was overly serious or, “hit home.” Maybe Cait’s companion quests in FO4? The “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep” mission in FO3? Even those examples are just well-told stories rather than emotional rollercoasters.
Watched the first 3 episodes so far. For me it feels like fallout universe in westworld/HBO “trying to be gritty and shocking”.
Doesn’t scream amazing to me yet, but it has been fun so far.
From the start I’ve been wondering if this show really needs to be anything more than what has been described in this thread.
Agreed. I’m only two episodes in so far and it’s just been a fun adventure set in the Fallout universe which is exactly what I was hoping for from the series. I don’t need or even want an amazingly deep and thought provoking plot from this series so it’s been basically exactly what I wanted so far.
Non gamer alert!
Started watching and have only see one and a bit episodes so far. I fell asleep so will have to go back to episode one and catch up.
Bearing in mind I know pretty much zip about the Fallout universe other than when I’ve seen it mentioned online, it looks pretty good from here - there’s definitely a lot going on and it’ll take a couple of watches before all the little details are picked up.
Seems to me to be a fun programme that doesn’t take itself too seriously. Hope it continues.
If you’re subscribed anyway you can access a few fallout games too:
- Stream Fallout 3
- Stream Fallout New Vegas
- Claim Fallout 78 on PC or xbox to keep forever
- Claim Fallout Tactics to keep forever on GOG
Obviously this is all just to get you to subscribe to Prime though, so don’t do it unless you can get a free trial or if you were going to do so anyway!
