>>
>>217247421
Yes. There is a video of Emil Pagliarulo (lead narrative at Bethesda, responsible for Fo4 story) giving a talk about how he wants to write the great American novel as if he's anywhere near talented as a writer to do that and doesn't just have his job because he's butt buddies with Todd. Seeing NV recognized as the superior narrative probably makes those fuckers seethe.
>>
Im trying not to be overly negative but the whole thing feels so lazy. The vault plots suck if they don't tie into any prewar stuff and there's just two many threads in general.
>crazy overseer lady
>bud's buds
>cooper and his rats
>maximus
>lucy
>the ghoul
literally six different plots at some points cutting between each every two minutes in an episode. It ruins all pacing and lets them get away with just filming small meaningless scenes so everyone gets to see "their favorite" do something le epic. Having the kings just hang outside the entrance to new vegas as ghouls (only like 5 of them too) was so lazy and gay. Skipping freeside completely because they didn't feel like actually filming a whole community just sucks and isn't what fans of the game want. I'll admit I basedfaced in the first season seeing the strip teased at the end but I should've known better

Girlfriend was reading discussion from chick forums and they all just think it's hilarious and silly.
Normies don't actually give a fuck about fallout as a setting, to them it's just a silly slightly edgy comedy show set in the post apocalypse.
>>217247421
It's never been confirmed but the actions especially with this show absolutely point to yes, Emil and Todd hate Interplay/NV fallout. Look at how much this season is absolutely SHITTING all over everything to do with New Vegas/West Coast BOS (who are infinitely more interesting than BethBOS) while hyping up the gay Commonwealth shit.
Either way Fallout just joins the league of other raped to death settings like Star Wars, Star Trek, Lord of the Rings, Halo etc.
>>

>>217247433
I guess he means shit like if this was FO1 or even FNV Lucy would have been branded, put into a slave pen, etc. Etc. In the Legion camp instead of just being crucified. Basically there's talk and show of gore, violence, rape, etc. But it's never really serious or something.
>>
>>217247349
I was lowering my standard a lot and it still failed to deliver, it's boring, all over the place, there are no stakes, the vault storyline is a borefest, boring boring boring.
>>
>>217247732
Crucifixion was their go-to in New Vegas though. Enslaving her, sure, but I think they wanted to wear her down so that one of them could wife her. Hence the whole "prima nocta" thing, she's a clean Vault Dweller, not some wastie. I don't like the show but Fallout was never this grimdark world filled with rape and horror. It was there, but you had to go looking for it. There's a few mentions of it in each of the games, but none of the main characters ever get raped. Unless you lose to a Super Mutant in 2, then you get your hole MUTED.

I watch it because i dig the 50´s apocalypse art design. I´m not particularly hyped about it so i watch it sparingly though. That said there is no much else to watch really and that´s not really going to change this year.

Like what is there even to look for? RoPe new season? The boys? Got spinoffs? Silo? It´s all a big ball of nothing... media designed to be consumed and forgotten quickly so that you can move to the next one. And if you don´t like that approach you have nothing to watch for the next four to six months.

The only hope are the occasional dark horse shows that come out of nowhere but those are usually either mini series or are discarded just as quick as they are greenlit because they fail to make a gazillion bucks like established IPs. Suits these days have to be the worst suits have ever been...

>don't let perfect be the enemy of good

>>217248467
TV is just a completely broken and shit medium now, more due to the mechanisms that deliver it than anything (you could argue it's always been this way). At the end of the day it's first and foremost a commodity before it's a piece of art

>>
>>217248703

Same thing that happened to shows length. In the 90´s and early 2000´s it was normal for shows to last 20 to 24 episodes a season. In the 2010´s they normalized 12 episode seasons and now you get 6 to 10 (usually 8) episode seasons and not even every year.

If i had to guess this probably started as a way to compete with high budget series on the age when "it´s not TV, it´s HBO" meant something and show production planning actually depended on telling a full story rather than on just viewing figures. These days they spend a lot from the go and you mostly get no self contained or filler episodes but if the show doesn´t become the talk of the office that´s it, it´s cancelled. They basically expand on the plots as they go depending on the show becoming a hit or not but most really have nothing to say after season 1. Truly a soulless age.
>>
>>217247349
I've been thinking about how this show is being written, and it seems to me that it's destroying the IP before Microsoft forcibly takes it from Bethesda.
Ceasar's Legion? destroyed by civil war. NCR? Nuked out of existence, New Vegas? Overrun by the Deathclaws that were effectively kept at bay for years.
It feels like they're breaking all the toys so nobody else can use them.

This season kinda sucks so far but I haven't seen episode 4 yet. First episode wasn't too bad, kind of lame they built that whole Novac set for just some gunfight but whatever... The next episode nothin kinda happened? They go into that busted hospital because some lady was screaming and Lucy is still stupid as hell. Saves the girl over her partner for no reason? Her brother's plotline didn't really go anywhere either. Now they're outside... ok? Area 51 had some fist fight for no reason. I guess you're supposed to say robe guy bad after that or something.

But season 1 had a ton of shit going on by episode 3.

At least the set design is still pretty good. You can tell they spent a lot of money on it.
>>
Fallout is great because it’s a genre-blending series where absolutely anything goes besides magic or overt fantasy. It’s hard to name a single other series like that that isn’t animeshit. Seriously, just try to think of one that could get away with having the amount of unique sci-fi elements Fallout has. Star Trek or Star Wars having characters be able to travel to Planet Cyberpunk doesn’t count.

I say all this because I like Fallout as a franchise due to how unique it is and wish normies could find another one to ruin. But they always do, and Fallout was next on the list.

Ok that's true, it was more on the gritty and grimy dark side really. More similar to A Boy And His Dog and Mad Max (obviously) and less dark oblivion like The Road but still, i suppose by safe edgy anon meant the show can be on the quirkier side.

Season 1 was a 9/10 and I think season 2 might be a 9.5/10. It's been more consistent. It's just straight up top tier entertainment. Every plot line is fun and interesting. They even introduced a love interest for norm that has a fat ass.

Bethesda isn't in charge, Microsoft bought them and there's already been internal shit about how they'd be willing to farm Fallout out if Bethesda takes to long to make 5, which they will because it's not even in active development and Elder Scrolls 6 isn't coming out any time soon
This show being popular puts even more pressure, on having an actual game for people to pick up, 76 already got huge bump when season 1 hit
But the "rumored" remaster of Fallout 3 and NV remasters will give them a a year or two at least

Shit like Marco Polo and Halo had colossal budgets and high hopes from their studios and still crashed and burned.

Fallout is a good show from a proven good showrunner in Jonathan Nolan, and it has star power with Purnell and Goggins. It may not be an autistic perfect recreation of a CRPG from 30 years ago, but normal people don't care about that garbage.

It's got a recognizable IP and it's been heavily marketed.

My dream adaptation would be our characters traveling across the large expanse of a Cormac McCarthy-esque violent mutant ridden hellscape layered under the bones of a retrofuturistic atom punk dystopia spun off an alternate 1950s America.

Yes, he did recently say all this.
But he's also spent over 10 years avoiding talking about New Vegas, avoiding the question of whether or not they considered letting Obsidian make NV 2 at any point, etc.
And he is in charge of this show, which shits all over NV and has been said by him to be part of the blueprint of the future Fallout games.
>>
>>217253158

get over it

Honestly, Todd probably wasn't lying when he said they were big fans of the original fallout games.
They probably thought they did a really good job at making a 3d fallout.
So when Obsidian made a better 3d fallout game using their license and engine (with just 1 year of dev time and probably no engine experience), they were probably not pleased because it kept getting compared to Fallout 3.
It was probably upsetting to them that this is the situation they created.
Which is probably why they didn't even try with Fallout 4 and 76. Just turned them into full theme parks.

outer worlds was mediocre
outer worlds 2 continued to be mediocre

neither did i at first but i've come to appreciate it. it's very pulpy and weird.
>>
>>217253935
the companion quests being so shallow turned me off but i liked the first half of the first game, had a fun loop
>>
>>217253913
>a lot of new vegas dna
in what sense? did they bring back the former obsidian people who left 10 years ago that did the meaningful work on new vegas?
outer worlds 1 was better than fallout 4 but it was still lame as fuck

oh i liked outer worlds
the biggest problem with these games is the dumbass immortal companions
>>
>>217254206
the biggest problem with outer worlds is that it's a one issue game where every problem is the same problem and the dialogue was almost entirely fucking reddit rick & morty borderlands-tier garbage
it's not like new vegas is just about the faction war, there's other shit going on
outer worlds is JUST about capitalism being mean
>>
>>217253626
I believe it could if done right. I don't know how the Master could translate to live action but as long as the tone remains in tact, they could make a story out of anything
>>
there's no reason this exact story couldn't have taken place in florida or texas or illinois, but they needed to set it in california (and then also nevada) so they'd have something to point to whenever people ask bethesda what's happening on the west coast
>>
>>217247460
Have you seen what Obsidian made since NV?
>>
>>217247373

It's made for them, the very casual fans - not for the hardcore gamer who religiously followed Fallout.
>>
>>217254452
LA was unfortunately the most culturally relevant and significant place to set the television series, at least the first season. Doesn’t matter if it had previously been in the games or not. They wanted to go the literal Hollywood route, which makes sense due to all the themes involved.

Fallout 3 was good tho
>>
>>217254615
Except they've spent a grand total of 5 minutes in LA and nothing at all about the show is engaging with the stereotypical trappings of California in general the way the first two games, particularly the second, would.
The setting is purely there to paper over the west coast lore so they never have to address it in an actual game.
This show is the answer to all the people who wanted New Vegas more than they Fallout 4 or Fallout 76.

The canary in the coalmine is fuckable npcs.
NV had two, Red Lucy and Sarah Weintraub, in both cases the sex was a reward for completing their quests. Its actually pretty shallow, though at least Red Lucy comes across as kindof crazy to begin with so it makes sense for her.

After that you get rants from developers about how they don't like it when npc women are sexualized by the player and some derangement about female writers on the team having to write characters like that or something and everything goes downhill from there.

It starts to affect other aspects of their design until everything is kind of sterile because no one's allowed to just have fun with their creativity out of fear of being problematic somehow.
>>
>>217254677
It doesn’t matter. Audiences would prefer their post-apoc show be set in the ruins of formerly sunny California instead of anywhere else.
>It worked out when TWD began in a more shitty city and bumfuck location
Yeah but the protag wasn’t a Hollywood actor and the comics it’s an adaptation of didn’t start out west aaand thematically the show wasn’t aiming for any sort of contrast between pre-apoc and post-apoc blah blah.
>>
>>217254786
Your entire point is stupid.
Landman is doing better than Fallout. It's set in Texas. The protagonist is played by a Hollywood name (assuming this is what you meant) with the Walking Dead, etc.
California is completely unimportant to the story.
4 episodes in and Nevada has been completely unimportant to the story.
>>
>>217254615
they do nothing with LA though?
post apocalypse the MC just leaves for a shanty town right after
pre apocalypse only has the hippie commie cult that you would say is stereotypical LA
>>
>>217254839
>The protagonist is played by a Hollywood name (assuming this is what you meant)
Come on bro. You’re in a thread about a show you know nothing about apparently.
>>
>>217247349
I'm having fun
>>
>>217254929
the fact that I forgot that's even a part of the show should tell you something
the commie actors and red scare shit has also not factored into the "present" storyline whatsoever, even as the number of fucking people who were ALIVE at the time only increases
>>
>>217247373
Because it's the current thing.

"people" who dislike Fallout 3 and Fallout 4 are not real fans
they're geriatric losers who can't let go of the CRPG genre
>>
>>217255264
I never played 1 or 2, so I don't know
But New Vegas makes 3 look it was written people with down syndrome, and then 4 was not able to escape the same fate in comparison

Nobody thinks fallout is controversial, you do not have above average intelligence and your opinions are of little value.

>>217248225
>>217255165
when are they releasing the Skilled/Hoarder version
>>
>>217247433
The appearance of controversy and edgyness without the actual substance.

fallout 4 is bankrupt as a game at the conceptual level
even most of fallout 3 retards recognize how bad fallout 4 is
that's even when game review shills stopped covering bethesda's ass when 4 came out
>>
I skimmed past an interview for season 1 earlier and it was Todd Howard and Jonathan Nolan sat together and Nolan literally says New Vegas was the pinnacle game of NuFallout lmao Todd just sits there with a slight smile staring at the interviewer.
>>
>>217257402
outer worlds 1 was gay with shit combat, but it still was more of an RPG than fallout 4

>this is... really not good

I haven't gotten past E02 and might never. Like Stranger Things, the "plot" is meandering nonsense and the characters spend all their time standing around talking about it.

>at least the main actress is pretty

There's that.
>>
>>217254747
You could have sex with Fisto. Non completionist scum.
>>
>>217247349
she has pretty features but her character is so annoying it makes me hater her anyways. this show is shit.
>>
Do you think the crew just wants to get rid of Todd? He doesn't do anything. I know people in my office who do fucking nothing at all but walk around and chit chat and everyone talks shit about them.
>>
>>217247349
I like Purnell and Goggins, but like everything coming out of Hollywood in the last decade, it's just pure slop to feed the cattle.
Two good stars wasted on a show that is going nowhere.

Gotta love tasteless faggots who pretend to have an opinion and waste it shitting on great games like 3d fallouts. Stop larping as a 1&2 unc. we actually exist and aren't heckin subversive big brains like you think. I guarantee you fall into one of two categories: Someone who actually enjoys the 3d games but bitches anyway because some miserable douchebag left an impression on a young you, or, someone who doesn't know shit about shit and just copies what they hear (from miserable douchebags) online.
>muh are pee gee
Useful term for broadly categorizing game mechanics, worthless buzzword on the tongues of candy headed peter puffers like you.

Fisto counts as safe horny because fucking a robot is obviously meant for laughs, so it fails as a Canary in the Coalmine. But thanks for pointing out I should've said 'human female' NPCs.
