just finished this absolute piece of dogshit. i love the games. what did i fucking think of it?
>>
Im bumping this because i need others to share in my seethe.
>>
I'd rather talk about something you like, anon.
>>
>>219778996
>i love the games.
Which ones
>>
>>219778996
You think everything that Fallout 3 and all the games after it are utter trash.
>>
I gave up half way through the second season. The first one wasn't great but I ccouuld stick through it enough just to see what they did with the setting. The second one killed all interest when they made the legion have two faction fighting five feet apart. The show had too much levity. Yeah, the games do have some comedy, but it wasn't nothing but slapstick comedy
>>
>>219780400
It looks good but you know I can't watch it
>>
>>219778996
I honestly watched this show thinking of the "This is Reddit, this is memes" copy pasta. Everyone fucking swears every fucking second fuck and there's a heckin' lot of fucking blood and gore and the story was retarded nonsense. Also the ghoul who everyone thought was so cool was just a stupid murderous edgelord who gets away with randomly killing innocent people because he is le sad about his stupid family.
>>
>>219780644
yeah but his family is black so it's alright
>>
Funny how those deathkiller lizards can crush through concrete just by standing up, but a flimsy metal sheet and a chain can block them forever.
>>
>>219778996
You already said you think its dogshit. Are you just sayin that to make a thread and not get called a shill?
>>
>>219780459
I watched the first episode of S1 and new it was going to be ass. The characters are insufferable, the plot is retarded, don't get me started on how the handle the setting.
>>
>>219781444
Yeah it wasn't great, but I was watching newborn twins and just needed mindless content on but even then I couldn't push through it all. I hate how shows always seem to refuse to call things by the names they are in the games. Everything in the show is an "abomination", as though nobody could come up with a fucking name for anything like they did in the games like mire lurker, or cazador, or yao guai
>>
>>219781591
This is a show that has a lot of effort into making it seem like it is well made. It has shit like references that you average normalfag wouldn't know because they wouldn't have played first two games. Along with endless fucking member berries to give the illusion of care. And then there was all the shilling and damage control for it online.
>>
>>219780459
Same. First season was a legitimate best effort given the demands of modern audience slop, and the second completely dropped the ball. Casting Macauly Culkin was funny though.
>>
>>219778996
I liked it because I hate Fallout and thought it pissing and shitting on the franchise and its canon was funny
>>
the second season is better than the first
>>
>>219782630
same but i hate the fanbase

The setting just fucked with its own internal logic and it swung wildly from comedy to tragedy. Youre supposed to laugh at something goofy and then you're supposed to really care about the characters.
The BoS have brutal training camps and technology but actually somehow everyone is an incompetent coward respected by no one in the wasteland
>>
>The ultimate goal of capitalism is to destroy everything, because if you survive then that means you win
This show is so damn retarded
>>
>>219782739
thats something they got right about the setting. Fallout is pathetic punk. Everything is just a bit shitty and everyone is crap.
Remember the original game had npcs called dregs you could shoot in the balls and no one cared
>>
>>219782664
for me, i managed to finish the first season and thought it was solid 6.5/10. the second season was absolute ass and i stopped at fifth episode.
>>
>>219782799
see we have come full circle and now people are saying oldest season goodest newest worstest.
For me the 1st one was bad, actually it was scary because it felt like they were releating the mistakes of 4 and doing nothing with the setting, The plot to find the magical gizmo went nowhere (it turns on the lights) and the find your lost family member again.

The second season i felt had more stuff going on, more new lore that was good, more twists and reveals.
So i think its strange people complained nothing went on in s2

>>219782796
It makes no sense for the BoS to be this organised but that incompetent.
>>
>>219782773
When I first heard people talking about the Vault-Tec/every evil Fallout corporation plotline I thought they were exaggerating, but it really IS just that retarded. They literally just wanted to be the kings of a pile of irradiated garbage.

why? theres organisations like that all over the world. They simply inherit power and wealth eg technology but are largely incompetent. Look at 3rd world shithole governments all over the world with dictators who have advanced modern armies but are completely fucking useless
>>
>>219782966
the plotline was obviously not the actual plot and that was confirmed in 2,
Howards wife was made to say that by the Enclave.
>>
>>219782796
Yea but the limitations of a game let you imagine that there must be something competent going on. New Vegas is like 10 buildings and a shitty farm outside, but the concept of a city is there just pretend it's bigger. The show instead has every single character everywhere constantly trying to kill each other and also be too stupid to do anything. How is anyone alive? How is the desert man in the first episodes who drinks all the water alive if all he does is fail to farm sand? None of the societies the show gives us should still be alive, except for the vaults
>>
>>219782942
The Ghoul standing there making an edgy speech for like 30 seconds while they all just stood around slack-jawed and not shooting him was peak retard kino. And then he just shoots through their power armor because he's le cool.
>>
I fucking hate the endless flashback bullshit about ghoul guy before the nukes. Who gives a shit? It has no bearing on the story that's in motion. So sick of that shit.
>>
>>219778996
Chudite opinions do not matter
>>
>>219782980
>who have advanced modern armies but are completely fucking useless
Such as? I mean id agree with you if they were basically ceremonial and did no fighting. The BoS has a lot of combat experience they go out into the wasteland for missions a lot
>>
>>219783011
Kek i remember that

>nooo shady sands was supposed to be 15 miles to the East how could they betray meeeee
>>
>>219782773
>The ultimate goal of capitalism is to destroy everything
No it's not.
>>
Also the vault drama is lame and gets way too much time spent on shit characters. Nothing fucking happens! Just more woo woo nefarious bullshit for no apparent reason shenanigans. It's not compelling and shouldn't be sucking screen time away from frog girl and ghoul and some brotherhood stuff. Main black brotherhood guy is a dull actor to watch though.
>>
>>219783043
like every african and arab country. Some of them are wealthy, they got the money for the fancy shit but they are incompetent.

>bos has a lot of exp
they are shown to be pretty competent in fighting. As House said its the only thing they are good at because its the only thing they care about.
Summed up in the brutal initiate sparring where Maximus is challenged to 1 on 1 to the death, and they think thats normal, they really are techno barbarians ala 40ks origin story. Its juxtaposed by them being irreverent bumbling dumbasses with the relics they do possess.
>>
>>219782859
>The plot to find the magical gizmo went nowhere (it turns on the lights)
That whole MacGuffin plotline felt so goddamn limp and low stakes because they were dancing around what it actually is until the last episode where they build it up like it's some kind of doomsday device. I literally had no reason to care about it even when they turned it on, I was mostly just surprised that the light bulbs and electrical infrastructure of LA apparently lasted centuries.
>>
>>219783111
I only watched season 1 but theyre incompetent in that even in combat. Especially in combat. How do they fly and maintain vertibirds but somehow are ignorant for everything else. Its fine that you made it work for you in your head. I didnt
>>
>>219783120
Its worse than that, they did nothing with it in the first season. It was basically like yeah who ever has it has free unlimited power. Then they imply strongly BoS now runs california with it and it was a happy ending.

But the second season actually shows the BoS is going to just carry it around with them and do nothing with it (make power cores to bribe other BoS chapters and power their new base at 51)
But they expand on it with the idea that House has been seeking it the entire time to complete his plans, which to me seems to indicate House put the bounty on Wilzig and brought the Ghoul back ala the courier and initiated the whole plot in s1.
So it has an actual point and im fairly satisfied with how that turned out.
>>
>>219783144
in 2 you have them gunning down ghouls like the terminator and taking out securitrons they come off as pretty competent
>>
Can we not pretend that Fallout games ever had great plots?

I've played New Vegas, Fallout 3 and Fallout 4 all through out, I've played some Fallout 1 and 2, they all had quite terrible main stories, ridiculously terrible even. However, the world building was great and overall they had much depth, well maybe Fallout 4 lacked in that on some level, but overall.

The show, it's terrible. The main story line isn't that bad of an idea. However, jumping between different story lines is an issue, especially since there are only one character which is interesting. The main character has literally had zero character development in two season, zero. I get it, they try to play the meme that she's a vault dweller and has different values, but it would've been more interesting to actually see the wasteland change her. She's still the same quirky little gal who left the vault, after two seasons.

Then there's the humor, it just doesn't land. The show has zero grimness at all, it feels more like Borderlands than Fallout when it comes to atmosphere. Fallout games were humorous, but the humor was dark and subtle. The show tries to do the grimness with gore and with visuals, but that's just a dull choice. The jokes are practically Marvel-tier, targeted at the mass Reddit audiences: no originality, no depth nor subtlety.

The first season was better overall, it granted some hope for the show, but the second season was terrible.

Who the fuck thinks like this?
>>
>>219778996
You've thought that season 1 was okay if you don't think about it as the Fallout show, but season 2 was abysmal dogshit, and the entire season would be better if it was 4 episodes long.
>>
>>219783362
I thought 3 had a decent main story

I don't HATE the show, but it definitely could have been better (basically the same way I view fo3 and 4). HOWEVER, as mid as the show is, I will never stop glazing the Brotherhood's theme song made for it. Holy shit does their music go hard.

They did

Genuinely fucking doubt that. You probably have a wiki page's knowledge mixed with some shit you have heard other people say.

Its not, just because you have a shitty OC do the memberberry doesn't stop it from being a memberberry.

I don't know what people were expecting out of this.

Watched the 1st season and it was fairly entertaining even if forgettable and on of those show's I'll never rewatch, and having watched 2 episodes out of the second season, it still seems fairly entertaining. I wasn't expecting anything more and I wasn't dissapointed.
>>
>>219783750
>mmm I ate slop
Okay.
>>
>>219783111
The way the show represents them is barely anything like the games. There is almost zero organization, the ranks are all fucked, and at one point they blow up a mint condition pre-war car for no reason. They're only there for the same reason they're in all the games and marketing. Because retards will always come running when the big babies in power armor show up and do literally anything. They are from a meta stand point the Ultramarines of Fallout.
