Shady Sands -2277(colorized)
Wow, they're just like us!Nobody's buying this crap anymore.
Slop made for pig secondaries. Needs more adobe buildings
>>729408838But where's the adobe buildings?
that first shot looks like Necropolis
>>729409108The second shot looks like Negropolis.
>>729408838I wonder if Fallout will come up with another iconic armor. They hit gold twice with the power armor, then the NCR ranger armor.
Is that a woman in the Ranger set? Whoever it is does not move intimidatingly and lacks the bulk to fill it.
How awful!!!In a setting like that it might actually try and say something about humanities ability to persevere through extraordinary catastrophe and WAR!!!How will i have my perma mad max shithole simulator? -oh thank god its all gone phew the writers mightve had to work.
>>729408838Kinda kino
>>729409337War? No, Fallout is about the evils of capitalism.
>>729409038NOOO! You can’t build new things! You can only live in what was there and rusty shacks!
>>729409297They made the costume too big or something. Look at the actual ingame armor and the only intimidating part is the helmet, the duster is always goofy (especially IRL flopping in front like that) and it has fucking skinny jeans.
>>729409038It's a small production company chud
>That's knight Maximus to you cracker
You gotta understand bro. Shady Sands is in Los Angeles now. It was never its own city. The LA Boneyard doesnt exist. The Followers of the Apocalypse and the Gun Runners dont exist. There’s a Brotherhood Chapter in the Grand Canyon, which is pretty much the capital of the Legion. Sinclair represents BIG MT even though he was just a customer
>>729409760evil is just more fun
>>729409656Based
Remember what they took from you.
>muh mudhole
>>729408838This is bullshit for retarded people. The whole idea of blowing up the NCR is retarded, no doubt the sentiment applies to whatever stupid bullshit they did to the Mojave.
>>729408838It's hilarious how much like out-of-place LARPers the troopers look.
HOLY FUCK They made her character 10 times annoying this time
>>729408838You vill live in ruin for 200 years -Todd
>>729410049it would make sense since you have the choice of blowing up the ncr/legion in lonesome road in new vegas, but knowing this gay ass show they will retcon everything. somehow shady sands is in LA by the skyline now? it's basically in nevada in f1.REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
This whole show looks ai generated
>>729408838Which comic con was this taken at?
What happened to Shi SF, the Hub, and Vault City?No, I'm not gonna watch Amazon shitslop to learn for myself
>>729408838Did they not know Shady Sands was purely post-war? Wrong question, HOW did they not know that? It's the single most defining feature of the city, it's arguably the most important settlement of the franchise specifically for that reason.
>>729411332I bet Todd would implode if someone at Bethesda was allowed to show him an image of vault city or arroyo
>>729411020this pissed me off>find a cherry car >have a group of scribes who could probably study it and get it working, even make new ones>nah lets blow it upfucking retarded
>>729411020Wait, why did they destroy a perfectly working car?
>>729410729NTA, but this show changes things so fundamental to the lore you can't even call it a series of retcons. This is a goddamn reboot of the entire series, and a bad one at that.>>729411310>what the hell are those?
>>729411493Hell yeah
>>729411531yeah i'm just going to treat it as its own universe, because it's beyond retarded
>>729411332Moreover, why is a city called Shady SANDS not in the desert?They did not play the classic games, plain and simple. Yes, they wanted to shit on them but it's not mutually exclusive.If they wanted to base the setting on the original games you know they'd include shit like say a crater where the Cathedral used to be.
>>729411493Brotherhood of Steal likes to do Hoodrat things
>BoS has multiple airships now
>>729411310Probably never existed. The show is a de facto AU and I doubt the Amazon writers even know anything from the classic games besides Shady Sands.
Is the series done airing this season, yet?
BASEDBASEDBASED
>>729411835Nope. They're doing weekly releases this time. Episode 3 comes out December 31st.
>>729411753>Now
Honestly the whole cast and crew, as well as its fans should be crucified on the hollywood sign.
>the Director asks Todd to cameo>As one of the bad guy that got killed by the Ghoul>Todd refused
>>729408838The funny bit is that the only reason it looks that good is because the showrunners didn't do their homework and just assumed Shady Sands was in LA and not because they actually intended to write the NCR as a prosperous enough society to build all that from scratch
>>729411989Based Todd
>Somehow... The Master has returned
Emil is such a egotistical dickhead. You can tell he absolutely fucking seethes whenever anybody brings up that NV and F1/2 shit all over his Falllout ""writing"".Dude literally does not understand Fallout. He genuinely thinks it's just a post apocalyptic mad max cartoon theme park rather than a satire of geopolitics and the march of history.
>>729412032Prosperous societies built from scratch cannot exist in modern Fallout. Only rely on pre-War shit forever or be built from rusty scrap. It's going to be the year 2500 in-universe and they still won't run out of scrap for wacky wasteland adventures.
>>729412051Worse: they basically retconned him out of existence.Scratch that, to do a retcon, you have to know that piece of lore exists in the first place, which I doubt the show writers did.
>>729412051OOOOOOO MASSA
>>729411493One of the show's talking points is how men are incompetent macho boys compared to the rational and intelligent women. Women who get in positions of power or importance always get shit done. A brown woman invented Cold Fusion technology during pre-war times, but couldn't push it to the wider world due to evil, mean corporations buying out all the companies she worked at (even though the devs erronously inserted this tech into the world back in fucking Fallout 2). Men are evil, and capitalism is to blame for everything.This show is pretty blatant about the things it tries to push. And it's very obvious for one to see if they compare it to the nihilistic messaging of the first games.
If only Myron! Myron, baby, Myron! Showed up and raped the MC. Since the whole show is fan fiction on the level of the rest of bethesdas shoddy attempts with this series I think it would improve drastically.
Call me crazy, but I don't think the TV show writers understand the NCR at all.>the NCR in 2 and New VegasA small society trying to believe in something in the Wasteland, but no less vulnerable to the vices of human nature than those less organized than themselves. The NCR was constantly forced to make compromises, even allowing slavers and slave owners to store their slaves outside of Shady Sands. The NCR citizens and military personnel in New Vegas are neglected by bureaucrats, skeptical about political corruption, undersupplied, understaffed, and stretched thin to try to stabilize the Republic's bleeding. And then you have people like Hanlon sabotaging it from the inside. Even in 2 they need more resources (from Vault 15). The NCR was always imperfect, and people were well aware of its imperfections. New Vegas tried to do more with this internal struggle and its thematic implications than 2 did, the NCR really doesn't feel very important in 2.>the NCR in the showA new democratic utopia with brick-and-mortar buildings, functioning trolley cars, open libraries on the street, communal gardens, children laughing and playing. Basically just a hollow symbol for the writers to knock down for fun and because it's a shocking plot twist.
>>729411493Because the BoS forgot what it actually is in this show
>>729410049It's just Bethesda's revenge for the continued praise of New Vegas that west coast story fans inundate them with 24/7, it gets under their skin so this is their "Fuck you, it's all gone now. Yes this is canon"
>>729411753Show is 9 year after Fallout 4
>>729411310>SFHuh?>the HubWho?>Vault CityI think you mean Vault TEC. You're going to get a tiny little scrapyard town in the middle of a forest and you're gonna like it
>>729412503I can only imagine the mind of the chud who just makes this shit up on the spot, sitting there typing all this out
>>729411753They had a few before, it's how they got to Chicago in Tactics. Think how they got to Texas too, can't remember
>>729412684>NCR >smallBy the time of new Vegas they’ve reclaimed a majority of California and are stretching their resources thin for what can only be assumed for hundreds of thousands if not millions of citizens in the major population centers.
>>729411493>Why have characters be cool when they can be stupid?- Graham Wagner, series producer and showrunner, in a video interview about Amazon's Fallout
>>729412739>it gets under their skin so this is their "Fuck you, it's all gone now. Yes this is canon"And people still somehow believe their lip service praising New Vegas.Yes, Bethesda has made a Bethesdillion dollars off of their shit take on Fallout but the people that made that shit take on Fallout are still human and have egos that have been getting bombarded by nerds for 17 years. The money can only act as a cushion for so long.
>>729412917i meant small starting in 2. they're obviously big dogs by the time of new vegas, which is also part of what makes them interesting. it's also something i mentioned.
>>729413019I'm playing Fallout 2 right now and they do say that that the NCR controls pretty much everything south of it on the map, which would be the entirety of the Fallout 1 map, so they've already started expanding by then.
What's with modern productions and just always looking like an obvious set? There's no immersion at all, it looks totally fake compared to movies 30 years ago.>>729411020This is exactly what I mean.
Am I supposed to know who this is
>>729412684Yeah, because for them the NCR was nothing more than a big roadblock on the way of their ultimate goal: writing a wacky bethesda trash collecting fallout storyline set in California. They didn't really want to understand it, it's pretty likely the first thing they thought about when learning about its existence was "how do we get rid of it?".
>>729412684Show takes place a good bit after New Vegas, so I can believe the depiction a bit. It's still stupid how they're in fucking LA now and are living in patched up ruins instead of their adobe buildings, but the NCR did always have access to vehicles, sewage, plumbing and other amenities. Hell, they probably could've went more into their imperfections if they didn't get nuked off screen in season 1 and given 5 minutes of screen time in 2.
>>729411441It was a joke because all cars are good for in fallout is exploding
>>729413084my memory sucks i guess, or i just have a hard time imagining them outside of shady sands itself. my b
>>729413164It's a new character afaik
>>729413164no, you're just supposed to laugh at his jaw implant
>>729409165It probably would've been the Hellfire armor if Broken Steel wasn't more like a begrudging capitulation than an actual game expansion
There are so many parallels between Bethesda Fallout and Disney Star Wars it’s unreal. The fact that both of them feel like alternate uncanny universes divergent from the originals and the level of disrespect and almost contempt for the franchises shown with the nuking of Shady Sands/destruction of not-Coruscant in TFA. That makes New Vegas the SW prequels in this analogy, or at least just Revenge of the Sith or something. Sorry for this Reddit moment, just felt like bringing up these similarities.
This single piece of Shady Sands circa NV era fanart is how things should look like, gets my imagination jogging while also bringing up nostalgia, how can you fuck that up
Caesar episode next I suppose
>>729408838>plots of F1 and F2 are practically forgotten, multiple new vaults just spawn under NCR's noses, and the master had never found out about them despite the close proximity>watering down the legion to shitty larpers, and then ruining House's character by introducing a ton of OOC shit and a potential body double plot>ignoring interplay's past interpretations of BoS to turn it into a mega superpower that can traverse the US on blips, have an infinite supply of power armour and energy weapons and be involved in every major plot ever>no super mutants, just ghouls that don't look like ghouls at all>endless, tiresome fanservice to distract you from boring characters, shitty story and disregard towards past worldbuilding>"but production quality is so high yo"Insane how this show's worldbuilding is just reducing everything to the level of complexity found in 4. All factions and their motivations are vague as fuck, civilisation is never rebuilding, and the plot is some generic bullshit about family. All the potential for serious, emotional and in-depth storytelling in the universe has been squandered in favour of more BoS dicksucking.
>>729409429We'd have developed settlements on the East coast if there was no fuckery with the writing.Diamond City lives in the stone age compared to the NCR cities.
>>729413461thats literally every franchise that is still running
>>729413572and the best part is that it's all being edited into the Fallout wiki, making it fucking useless
>>729409165I doubt it, modern Bethesda seems legitimately incapable of having an decent original thought.
>>729413164Copejeet Shitonstritjahan
>>729413479No…NOOO!
>>729409896What could have beenhttps://youtu.be/ERANGhqx2r8?si=OojKB8YE4kuwsnFI
>>729411493you could give them the benefit of the doubt and assume old world cars are a liability on the wasteland since they're explosive
Ukraine lost.
>>729413572One detail I find sad and poignant in the first season is the presence of a Colt 6520 10mm pistol from the original games in one scene (or maybe there's more, I dunno, I gave up on the show and only got the rest piecemeal). It's not there because they cared so much about the original games and wanted to put something from them in an episode, but because it was a FO4 mod put in the Creation Club that they could just recreate as a prop.
>>729411753Do they have Liberty Prime or left it on East coast? >>729412825So BoS ending is canon? Unless later episodes show otherwise.
>>729412872Too bad you can't imagine any actual kind of rebuttal to his argument. Or at least a reality where you aren't a drooling retard.
they should've made the show about a squad of enclave soldiers bumbling around and doing war crimes
>>729413479genuinely in love with the way this looks, it reminds me of those impressionist paintings you'd see in old diners
>>729413572This is for the """"""""""''people""""""""""""" who watched John Benjaminowitcz Halo pork that shiksa genderbent arbiter to defend the honor of diverse anarchocommunist colonists and thought it was fine. I refuse to even pirate this garbage, and if it weren't for you inbred fucking shitskinned tourists redditposting on my board I wouldn't even remember it existed.Die irl
>>729413479NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. TODD HELP. THOSE ARE LE ADOBE BUILDINGS!!!!! PLEASEEEEEEE EMIL HELP ME!!!!!! I COULDNT GET PAST THE MUTANT RATS IN VAULT 13 SO I NEVER SAW EM. I TRIED FALLOUT 2 BUT THE TEMPLE OF TRIALS LE FILTERED MEEEEEEEE. THIS UNCSLOP GRAPHICS AND GAMEPLAY IS HURTINGGG MEEEEEEEEE
>>729413816They all got wiped out in FO2 and 3.
>>729413725Or you could view it as the franchise making fun of itself for not making cars drivable. All they do is explode.
>>729409469But according to Todd, humans stopped building new things (and not even clean inside their own homes), that's why we still have debree everywhere 200 years after the Great War and Megaton is build out of scrap metal.Which one is it?
>>729413461>let the past die. Kill it if you have to.
>>729413870hahaha fuck no nigga, the show literally opens with an enclave base doing experiments and shit. they weren't wiped out completely, even in 3, NV mentions other bases
>>729413164That guy who fucked his body up for a D-tier Marvel movie
>>729413298If this is FO4 Maxon, it means that both the Railroad and Institute LOST lmao cratered and annihilated HAHAHA.
You were supposed to let goWhy didn't you let go
>>729413725except fallout 2 had a working car>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n9BjClitw0c
>>729413461Odd isn’t it? And you can pin point the exact crowd they’re trying to pander to as well. Secondary normies that want to pose as nerds because nerd media is popular but still think it’s cringe beyond the superficial shit they get into. It’s The Big Bang Theory effect playing out yet again.
>>729411493>>729411020On a tangent but I find it kinda funny that all of the cars are like literally from the 50s. Like I understand that they can't make huge props of those retrofuturistic cars you see in the games but they could have dressed one up a bit for a scene or two.
Do you think this board will ever forget how obnoxiously fallout tourists spammed normalfag stream shit all over the board
>>729413567>Diamond City but with tents LMAO
>>729414039Maybe if people stopped shitting up this board with Fallout TV show threads I wouldnt shit up their threads. Its annoying to see coal burner amazon pig slop everywhere
>>729413870They even brought them back in FO4 so Nate can kill them all.Enclaves are the jobbers of Fallout, even in NV and 76, they're jobbers.
>>729414114Bait threads will continue to get posted, and Fallout fans will continue spamming the same arguments as to why the show sucks. Apathy could've killed it, but normalfags need to consume.
>>729413797They talk about Commonwealth's Brotherhood chapter as though they are the top guys at the moment.
>>729413567>>729414093Where the hell is this supposed to be, anyway? There are no stadiums in New Vegas.
>>729414212GOLDEN. ENCLAVE.
>>729414039I did. They dug it up back up not me.
>>729411493no one working on the show or watching it knows about the Highwayman
>>729414268The Legion uses football gear for armor so uh, they must have extrapolated that so that they're now associated with sports or something
>>729408838The NCR trooper costumes look so goofy. Cosplay tier. I understand they can have their own design philosophy but surely Amazon can use its millions not to have the show look so cheap.
>>729414268You want to know what it is>writers saw that legion wear football and sports gear>durr let’s put em on a stadium wouldn’t that be funny?
>>729414252I hope the Railroad is genocided to hell and Institute never come back. Minutemen should just join the BoS or do their own thing and stay in the East.
>>729409656>>729409874Built for BWC
>>729414236The show is being actively shilled, no one is going to let you push this bullshit unopposed.
>>729414331>>729414051I like that even though you only see the Highwayman in FO2, the world implies that working cars are a semi-common sight because NCR has a guarded parking lot while New Reno has a functioning chop shop. That is some logical world building.
>>729414271Enclave niggers genocide every game is hilarious. Fanboys just like their toys and nothing else.
>>729413595Nah main similarity between Bethesda Fallout and Disney Wars is that both take all the iconography of the originals and put it in bizarro uncanny valley before shitting on everything in what feels like an alt-universe, whereas most other ruined franchises do it without such a major shift. If that makes sense. Like for example, modern Star Trek is bad but you can’t put your finger on when that happened.
>>729411020>find preserved car that are hard to come by because… reasons>blow it upwtf
>>729414212I don't like their concept, to be honest, they're way too powerful. It always felt forced that half of their force was terminally retarded and allowed a tribe to infiltrate their base and solo their security, even though they were so advanced that they could create new technology in post-apocalypse.
>>729413383>jaw implantlmao
>>729414531I love how modern Fallout shits even on lore established by Bethesda earlierI would shit on FO3 back when it came out but compared to everything since 4 it's goddamn faithful and at least has some cool art direction by Adam Adamowicz (RIP) (of course the original ending and most of its plot was stupid either way)
>>729414537The source material is mixed here.>BoS take away technology from the population>BoS also destroy said technology(Institute) >>729414636Institute acted as the new Enclave with their batshit crazy plans but they were eggheads instead of tincan soldiers.
>>729414268They wear football armor, thus they must live in a stadiumt. media literate tv show writer
>>729414406The roman larpers in a stadium? which is a latin word and a roman building originally, like the coliseum
>>729413479>this makes bethesdafags shit their pants in fear
>>729414636The CIA warned Bush some guys were planning a terrorist attack on NYC like 4 for days before 9/11, and the administration shrug it off as nonsense.Feds are retarded, anon.
>>729413461>Rey - Main Girl>Finn - Black dude>Poe - GhoulThere's a comparison to be made here, but I haven't watched the show to make it properly.>outsider girl who's extremely lucky/gifted/liked>black dude comedy relief that fails upwards>the Pro who acts almost like a Deus Ex Machina or get out of jail free card>they hint at the black dude getting with the girl but it doesn't really go anywhere outside of mostly comedy bits
>>729414268Vegas has been building sports stadiums lately, if they make NV in 2026 it would have included stadiums
>>729411020the alien joke made me laugh at least.
>>729414636Also being nonsensical evil (i.e. shooting perfectly pure humans like they do in the intro) shouldn't get them so far as they got and makes them less interesting as villains.Fallout 2 really has suffered from having basically 0 time for pre-production, I'm sure that some of the unintended silliness would've been reigned in if they had a moment to reflect on what they were making.
And what of the Midwestern Brotherhood? Are they safe? Are they alright?
>>729414789One thing fallout 4 did right is how it portrayed the BoS, for instance. This slop shits on that too
>>729408838Todd:>Civilization has forgotten how to build buildings, make cars work, have potable water, and doesn't bother to clean up the rubble from the streets and houses, so everything looks like the day the bombs fell!Also Todd:>This TV series is now canon. It shows humans living in harmony with clean streets, repaired buildings, potable water, and working cars so everything looks like before the bombs fell.
>>729414851In all seriousness the football gear was found somewhere but exactly where?Legion was completely pants on head retarded on the surface level. Saturday cartoon villains vs retarded army new bloods(NCR) getting also raped by Fiends.
>>729414908>but I haven't watched the show to make it properly.Checks out because your interpertation is completely wrong. I don't like nu-fallout but don't be a biggoted idiot.
>>729415030Stop bringing them up or they will see it. The writers for this garbage show won't but Todd and Emil might.
>>729413635Pelt hunting might not be so bad after all...
I hate how utterly recycled Fallout now is. It's a show inspired by a game inspired by post-apoc movies. And Todd even says future games will be inspired by the show, so we'll have another level to the cultural centipede.
>>729415058The Legion should have basic metallurgy. Fuck, metal armor was commonplace in Fallout 2.
So did new vegas just not happen in this new and daring continuity?Or rather the events of it got pushed back until "now"
>>729415030Tactics is basically non-canon save for a few details. It's a shame, because Midwest BoS lore is just pure kino that could've redeemed inserting them in every next Fallout instalment>vast, techno-feudal empire of ideologically fervent collectors of ancient technology that recruit every man and mutant under the sun as fodder for its infinite wars against raider scumThe concept just oozes with cool.>>729415006If Enclave had even a bit of nuance in the original, most people would probably side with them. It absolutely doesn't help that the games never expanded on the idea that FEV damaged regular human's DNA and this could've had consequences later down the line.
>>729415158it's "happened" however the show's writing is fanfic-alternate-universe bullshit so it's a moot point.
>>729415058Yeah, they never explained that. I like how they even explained where the NCR armor comes from but not the Legion. They even gave a Fallout 1 reference while explaining how NCR armor comes from the Far Go Traders.To be fair though, the Legion has territory across 4 states and a lot of Legion content was cut
>>729415149OG fallout and vegas was like shrew shit coffee good fuck todd
>>729413801lol good one faggo, keep watching goyslop and defending this shit getting pumped out with no real substance behind it
>>729415058The Legion is actually pretty realistic. Countries, militaries that just enjoy being evil for the power itself exist IRL, not everything has "nuance".
>>729414919Fallout Vegas was based on 1950s Vegas, not 2000s.They made a stadium because writers thought it was amusing.
>>729414908i will say that i can't help but think of Finn whenever Maximum is on screen
>>729415270so does that mean that the courior sold Arcade to Ceaser if Ceaser is still kicking around?
>>729415058>In all seriousness the football gear was found somewhere but exactly where?IIRC in a stadium somewhere, but the important part is that only a small fraction of their forces was equipped with it (the fraction that we see in game, prepared to fight on the Mojave front).NCR supposedly has a more or less unified look to them (Brahmin Baron™ sponsored leather fatigues), but the Legion should vary a lot in gear depending on what they can scavange/make for their troops.
>>729415149The funny thing is, although the show is part of the canon and will influence future games, we'll get FO5 in like, 10 years perhaps? All the normies who glaze the show won't care about it anymore.
>>729408838>thriving society doesn't have a security checkpoint to keep nukes from waltzing in
>>729409760Because the goyim are cartoonishly retarded.Can you blame the jews doing all this shit when it's our own who consume it with a smile on their face?
>>729415410>tfw Fallout becomes a TV pop sensation like The Walking Dead>Amazon starts spamming side stories and spin offs
>>729415326They still included the solar array which isn't 1950s Vegas at all, the real thing wasn't built until 2007.
>>729415058The Legion's origins is Arizona IIRC, and they conquered New Mexico, Utah, and Colorado. Lots of stadiums there.
>>729411020dosnt seem like something brotherhood soldiers would do the show and games cant seem to decide if they are tech fascist, religious zealots or proud heroes, still, in no iteration the would ever accept mindless destruction
>>729415438>thriving society>negro coon republic
>>729415438LMAOOOOOO
I can kind of appreciate the meta humor of the MC girl obviously being some kind of speech build, just with garbage stats and skills, but actually having to listen to her babble constantly is annoying. Like this would've been better done as a one off side character that shows up for a single episode and dies because she fails a speech check. Not the main character you have to deal with for hours of screen time.
Why does Bethesda think Fallout is 1950s futurism? Fallout 1 and 2 went way harder on 1930s Art Deco than 1950s. There are surprisingly few 1950s things in F1 and 2. The cars and energy weapons are basically it.
>>729415525we're not getting a massive sensation like TWD or breaking bad anytime soon, and the show failed to become anything big during season 1
>>729415410If Bethesda do the right thing, FO5 will happen soon after TES6. Another dev should work on it while Todd and co finish TES6. ONE(1) game every 5 years is just ridiculous and they now have Starfield and 76 in the rotation.
>>729415214>If Enclave had even a bit of nuance in the original, most people would probably side with them.Maybe, but I don't think it's necessary depending on how you write them.For example in Fallout Sonora you have plenty of reasons to nuke the BoS despite the fact that you could easily consider them a force of "good" and "progress".
>>729415376at this rate does anyone who existed in FNV exist in the show as the same person?
>>729410276Both her and the Ghoul feel like strawman renditions of themselves from the first season, in these two episodes.
>Build city in nuclear wasteland>Manage to have a population of 33,000 people>Let some random schizo walk into town with a nuke
>>729415550Those aren't fat man nukes or nukes.They are the ones launched by Prime in Fallout 4, can't remember their name.
>>729415619Original fallouts are basically atompunk games aesthetically, they went for gothic architecture and cassette futurism because it helped build a grim, hostile atmosphere of a world that doesn't care for you and one you're not familiar with. Bethesda probably chained it all to a single aesthetic because it's easier that way.
>>729415742Football Nukes?
>>729409165I’ve always thought another ‘iconic’ armor design could lean towards space suits used for BOMB or diving suits maintaining oil sites at sea.
I fucking hate Todd's vision of everyone just living in ruins. Fallout had people constructing new buildings atop the wasteland. It felt more like Planet of The Apes. Whereas Todd's Fallout feels a lot more like a zombie apocolypse film where the apocolypse just happened 2 weeks ago or something.
>>729415525I shit you not, I was at a family friend's for Christmas dinner yesterday and the 60-something dad hit us with a>That's from Fallout!when someone said, "okey-dokey." Totally an isolated incident, but it threw me for a fucking loop nonetheless.
>>729414908cloaks over power armor is always so silly to melike, you expect me to believe a thin layer of burlap is supposed to protect your massive metal suit of armor?like if they were ALL covered like the guy in the front I could maybe believe it's meant to be camouflage so they aren't spotted as three big hulking black masses against the desert, but the other guys are wearing it as a cape and a panchoMAYBE its meant to protect against the sand somehow, but I feel it would take longer than a few days for it to do appreciable damage, and by then you'll probably have died of thirst if you're still in the desert in your power armor
>>729408838This show feels like one very long ad for the games.
>>729415464>jews go out of their way to lobotomize normies with brainrot internet content, sportsball, and education programs that purposefully make kids illiterate>"the goyim deserve it for being so stupid!!"
>>729415550Good Lord Bethesda/Amazon are so fucking stupid.
>>729415780No but there's a stockpile of them in the Glowing Sea pyramid building.
>>729415741Look man, you don't get to be pristine, well-developed city in a hostile Wasteland full of violent savages and irradiated monstrosities without having absolutely no security. Stop nitpicking.
>>729414505New Vegas and FO4 are filled with cars with working reactors that everyone leaves to rot because there's no fucking roads.
>>729415649I just can't wait for the announcement. Fallout is a total shitshow now so I want to laugh at yet another homogenous part of the wasteland that has another strain of super mutants, another Brotherhood chapter while the new player character is another Vault dweller.
>>729415892This is what they get for being a bunch of faggot libertarians, fuck Ron Paul, fucking old faggot
>>729409165The worst game has the best armor.
>>729415153They do, see Lanius and Gaius Magnus.Also, the average tribal looks like this, so Football gear was good enough.
>>729415829>normies are literally physically unable to turn off the jewboxWhatever you say dude.
>>729411020Because it is.
>>729409159Kek
>>729415619Fallout 1 and 2 are based on "Retrofuturism," that is, the vision that past societies had of the future. Thus, they are based on the idea of what the future would be like for a post-World War II society, with robots performing domestic tasks, radiation being used in everything (it was the big novelty of the time in real life, including in cosmetics), and nuclear energy powering all technologies, from kitchen utensils to cars.So yeah, it isn't supposed to be "1950's with robots", it is supposed to be "What the world post-WWII thought the 21st Century would look like".
>>729415649They could just fucking outsource another Fallout game again, it's not like Obsidian is even good anymore so what gives. I know Bethesda is stingy and scared of being upstaged but Microsoft should just fucking knock on their door "hey I want a fucking Fallout game the franchise is getting the most attention it has ever gotten where the FUCK are the games? I'm just gonna give it to some random shit studio if you're not making the game"
The explanation for this place getting blown up was so convoluted and stupid. They could've just had the Dad come across some vault tec ICBM storage similar to Lonesome Road and it would've made more sense than a retard walking into the city with a football nuke.
>>729415535Helios One isn't in New Vegas, anon.
>>729415806I haven't asked him yet, but I wouldn't be surprised if my dad was watching it. He always had a soft spot for Sci-fi slop. Hell one day he just out of the blue hit me with the fact that he had watched the entirety of TWD, like, last year.
>>729415153The base game Legion Armor visually has metal plates hammered underneath the leather. Unless I'm just retarded I think the idea is that they're using the football gear as shitty plate carriers.
I think it's hilarious all the fallout 3 babies upset that the brotherhood aren't valiant honorable knights serving a lofty ideal
>>729413164some indian hollywood keeps trying to push
>>729415550>>729415742Aren't those... not nearly effective enough to completely destroy a large city?They seemed like... I dunno, four times more powerful than a fatman warhead?
Bethesda made BoS way too powerful.>power armors>endless soldiers>modern tech and weapons>their enemies(enclave, ncr) got wiped outwho could even stop them now? they are the new enclave.
>>729416217nah this one was different>whybecause the plot needed it to be different
>>729413164He's supposed to be Harkness from fallout 3 althoughever they raceswapped him.
>>729416329wow. so they changed a character's race?
>>729416269An airship seems like a pretty easy thing to stop in a world where Fatmen, rockets, and disabled tanks and vertibirds every 20ft.
>>729413164He's the pakijeet who got tired of being typecasted as the minority comedic relief so he got hilarious jaw implants and now he gets casted as comedic relief.
>>729416217mininukes in general are just weirdlike, not only do the mushroom clouds a product of heat rather than anything unique to radiation, and thus can be made just fine by conventional explosives passed a certain size mini nukes as we see them DON'T passbut there's no such thing as a "mini" nukeif there's enough of a nuclear reaction to explode, it's gonna be BIG no matter whatIt can get bigger, but you can't really make it smaller passed a certain level
>>729416094Yes, and to add on this, it's all of that BUT envisioned by 90s devs from California.There's no chance that a different dev team from a decade later and the other coast could come up with a decent follow up even if they bothered to understand the basics idea which inspired the original.
>>729415438Worst part is that they're at war with the Legion.Maybe they weren't expecting a nuke, but to let any Frumentarii just walk in with White phosphorus is insanity.
>>729413628I checked some Fallout Wiki and the editors who clearly played the original games more than anyone associated with the show are trying to reconcile the glaring inconsistencies from the show with the game canon, it's clearly such a futile effort lol
>>729416269>what could even stop them now?Some retards cosplaying American Revolutionaries using some mortars.
>>729416269>who could even stop them now? they are the new enclave.Inbred tribal on a mission (delayed by a few years of starring as a porn star)
>>729416024>give people drugs>they become addicts
>>729416217It's the real nuke thoughbeit. Created by Valuttec tm. This is the aftermath.
>>729416426I was wondering where have I seen this guy before but I couldn't recognize him with that cgi looking jaw damn.
>>729416440Eh it's loosely based on something that was real, actual nuke sized explosion just wouldn't work from a gameplay perspective
>>729416194A real nigga understands truly lofty ideals may be misinterpreted in the short term. Humanity nuked itself and went right back to the exact same issues it had before and yet normal retard iq savages think they deserve the technology they CONTINUE to take advantage of.one day they will learn, it just takes time and oversight
>>729416269>who could even stop them now? they are the new enclave.Civil war with the midwestern brotherhood from Tactics
How did the dad even get the mind control thing on the NCR trooper? Did he walk all the way to his secret base in Vegas to pick one of them up? They also apparently don't even work, so how did he get a guy to make it work for so long?
Did yall see that they're actually going to introduce the ayylums? Fucking lol they hate the original fans so much
>>729408838It was a decent episode. The Legion in California is definitely foreshadowing another faction war
>>729413628I actually love that. The real wiki was killed by the wikia faggots so this is a fitting end for that useless website.
>>729416094This is how people in 1900 imagined the world would be in the year 2000.
>>729413572WHO is saying the production quality is high? It looks like bollywood or some youtube fan project.
>>729416440The military made a miniaturized nuke with a yield of 1000 tons of tnt which could be fired out of a recoilless rifle.For comparison, Fat Man had a yield of 21000 tons.Definitely bigger than a mini nuke in fallout, but this is probably what inspired it.
>>729416590I know, I've just kinda lost all respect for Bethesda fallout and recently remembered that the Fat Man was their creationhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xDys8IwuyNsI know Emil's an idiot, but part of me wonders if he doesn't realize that shit like this is supposed to be actual propaganda in-universe, and not proof of "fallout not really taking itself seriously"
Why would there be a ruined city in Shady Sands, it was a small village in the middle of nowhereEither way this is what it should look like, this is Arroyo but it has the same adobe building style as Vault City and NCR
>>729416565Bullshit, I'm terminally online and I was pretty much raised by a Nintendo 64.Yet I don't consume garbage media because I respect myself.You think normie cattle are so addicted to dogshit that they can't discern it's flavor. Then they are indeed cattle and they deserve to be enslaved by their own desires.The jews are evil sure but that evil matters shit when there's agency. You are basically using addiction as an scapegoat when the retards that consume this garbage live in an era where there's pretty much an infinite resource of media to consume, one that is infinitely better than this garbage.But they are goyim cattle, they don't care about what they consume, they just want it forcefeed to them. Be it tv, movies, music or anything else. The jews are to blame for the cancer they spread, but people also deserve blame for willfully being the hosts of the tumors.
>>729414531right. i mean god of war, wow, metroid, the list really goes on. Go of war used to be about killing everyone and fucking everyone you couldn't kill and now its about carrying a pig and crying
>>729414268They're in California
>watching/playing corporate globohomo propaganda slop that removes all the atmospheric soul of what fallout wasif you watch/play it, you'll get more of it. don't watch it. unless you like it that is.
>The only likable character in the whole show
>>729416876No Arroyo! Only shitty scrap!
>>729416329"Harkness" is one of those surnames that hack writers who read romantasy think is cool. That character from Fallout 3 is definitely not part of the brotherhood, given who he was (20 years previous).
>>729408838ah, to view the world through the eyes of a young Black child with all the exaggerated swagger and fervent intellect that would bring. such a treat! a treat for us /tv/ watchers! bravo Amazon Studios!
>>729416802there's a whole collection like that, I think it's a cool style that was never used in vidya or elsewherethey always fall into cringe steampunk stuffbut idk if that's how "people imagined the future", it was just a drawfag having a whimsy
>>729417001i know half of these beta male faggots paid to watch the TV show. i only know what my normie friend tells me. i hold back my autism when talking to him then release my sperg rage in shill threads like these
>>729416734the legion in california makes literally 0 senseFNV spells it out, in detail as to why the legion CANNOT invade california
>>729417002Oops, wrong pic, sorry.
>>729417002>is that a functional post-fallout civilization that isn't owned by Vault-Tek?>NOT ON MY WATCH
>>729408838I really wish we had 90s culture today, so many shows that could have been good wasted on woke creators.
>>729417000No? They were in Nevada in the first episode.
>>729413105too many camera shots that are clearly on a gimbal setup instead of being handheld
>>729417103Rico finna dab on 'em
>>729417172In English, doc?
>>729416946>if I take advantage of or harm someone it's their fault for letting me do it to them in the first place
>getting a Borderlands tier atrocious adaptationSad but tolerable>getting a Borderlands tier atrocious adaptation>and everyone loves it and it brings a new audience to the IP and it will be used as the blueprint for the games identity going forward and everyone who points out how bad it is gets shouted downIt's fucking over
>>729417002>time will destroy all our enemies>OH NO they used time to grow stronger>NUKES WILL DESTROY ALL OUR ENEMIESTheir plan was so retarded.
>>729417002He works for Mr. House so the implication here is that Mr. House wanted him to nuke the NCR.
>>729416737did fallout have a real wiki, similar to how TES has UESP? i always struggled to tell which one was the good one
>>729414406Honestly it would make a lot of sense for them to have a Colosseum. Would've been cool if they had something in the likes of Ceasar's Palace like IRL Vegas. Seems like a missed opportunity.
>>729414059i'm kinda pissed at that too, but at least this season they did the bare minimum with adding a nuclear reactor to cooper's ford(not sure why they didnt just do it for all the other cars) and for that thunderbird they just gave it larger fintails
>>729417268>rich people are... le evil!!!uh oh I thought this show was woke?
Why didn't Mr. House just send a lobotomite to nuke the NCR and Legion since they don't have any walls around their cities?
>>729417237The general Fallout fanbase deserves it
>>729417214>taking advantage of me is when I'm unable to change channel from a dogshit propaganda show when there's literally hundreds of thousands of hours of shows available to me>no, you don't get it, I'm addicted to this slop>no, I'm not addicted to the almost infinite amount of media available to me, only jewish slop, that is my addiction>it's the jews fault I can't change the channelHilarious subhuman goycattle
>>729417279>did fallout have a real wiki, similar to how TES has UESP?Not even close as being as good as the UESP, but yes. Can't remember right now the name but it has been a few years already since it got killed off by wikia.
>>729417375That's literally what happened.
>>729417237>having hope for this series after "Fallout" 4
>>729417002>pre-war vault tard>literal cuck>nuked the shady sands because “muh directive”
>>729408838nigger hell
>>729416269They're all idiots and they're going to wipe each other out. Did you even watch it?
>>729417279I'd like to know as well because I'm confused. I just remember that one problem I had with one of the wikis was that they were extremely anal about comparing in-game weapons to their real life counterparts unless a dev outright said it was inspired by something, or that they were largely biased towards the Bethesda games.Fandom wikis are a cool concept, but they often fall flat because they end up being based on the whims of the few people running it. I had a beef with a wiki admin in my country's web sphere for example because he ended up turning it into something that is the complete opposite of what a wiki is supposed to be, i.e. building a brick wall around himself consisting of terminology used by nobody except him instead of sharing information.
>>729417103legitimately the only character i care about, and it's not even close. i'm just afraid that the things that make him tolerable will fly out the window now that they're outside and he has to interact with Amazon's shit tier wasteland full of violent retards.
>>729411020>brotherhood>destroys mint condition car
Isn't this what people are always complaining about in Fallout games, though?>nobody is ever rebuilding!
>>729413164Kumar from Harold and Kumar
has the most punchable face award
I find it funny that the fucking TRIBALS are more progressive than normal people in Bethesda's Fallout.>Hey Sid, let's slap down some sleeping bags in this bombed out men's room next to that skeleton and Nuka Cola™ poster.Meanwhile tribals are rediscovering ancient hide processing, developing art and language, and have full blown post-war customs.
>>729417690That's the puncline, anon.>>729416579
>>729417096How? California was their goal. There is no NCR to stop them. I swear people are just complaining for the sake of it.
>>729417703>mfw i'm cooking up my next negative IQ move that somehow rewards me for no reason
>>729417703>most breakable bussy
>>729413576Huh? Is this about 4?
>>729415892Give it a lift kit and some overland gubbins, or make a buggy out of the drivetrain.
>>729413164haha holy shit pindar bogged himself so hard
>>729413164That’s Arturd Maxsaar
>>729417002Wrong, ugly manlet jew is the only one.
>>729417158>The Ghoul: You're pretty far west.But i forgot they were in Novac in the last episode. My bad.
>>729417267To be fair, even people in our timeline believe nuclear war will be the end of humanity, so Vault Tec being wrong in that regard is believable (the plan is still retarded, though).
>>729417703>1 Int build with Idiot Savant
>>729416734Season 2 is taking place in Nevada, they started the season in Novac, in the eastern part of the FNV map.It just feels like they're not any further out of season 1's ending in Los Angeles because Lucy still acts naive after travelling 250 miles on foot, and we have seen no other landmarks of new vegas, just a made up hospital, and more trees than Nevada would have.
>>729417703His character was supposed to be low int/charisma in the first season, so why did they just reverse that?
>>729417438>there's literally hundreds of thousands of hours of shows>all with varying degrees of overt and subtle propaganda meant to sub/consciously influence thought and behavior>and it's the goyim's fault if they never drag themselves out of the gayer version of the matrix we purposefully put them in
>>729417279There is the independent wiki but it was fucked 76 shit.
>>729411020>power armour moves like its made of foam
>>729417717I remember a thread last year where some guy pointed at the absurdity of people living in ruined buildings without any of the skeletons being cleared out and some anon who was either an obnoxious pseudo-intellectual midwit or a clear Bethesda shill (or perhaps both) started yapping that this is clearly justified and everyone is stupid because the first Fallout game has a skeleton right outside the Vault 13 entrance, it was too funny
>>729417703For me it's Woke going too far and making an african-american character be completely emasculated, idiotic, and eternally humiliated just because he's male. Long gone are the days of Black Panther.
>>729417268>Mr. House wanted him to nuke the NCR.This is the most fucking retarded thing I have read. Mr House’s entire plan for New Vegas relied on the NCR bringing a steady influx of customers.https://youtu.be/0s4sIY3bYEE?si=xIgIEwb5jg_fRuUb
>>729417791>No, the writing isn't shit, he's clearly supposed to be a low intelligence character ie. a literal fucking retard on purpose as a wink to Fallout fans!Are people still latching onto that cope because that shit was absolutely hilarious.
>>729417703look at those fuckin lipsthis buck will suck your cock right off ya pelvis
>>729418007>This is the most fucking retarded thing I have read.It only gets worse, House and several other major CEOs nuked the world to make more money.
kinda funny how different shady sands looked in season 1 compared to this season which looked more run down, like why would the ncr leave broken cars on the road?
>>729417703/OURGUY/
>>729418173Ummm chud don't you know that they forgot what cars do post-war? Didn't you see the brotherhood knights blowing one up?
>>729413628Why is there no UESP equivalent to Fallout? Damn, UESP really is a gem.
>>729408838who in god's fucking name would build a settlement next to two hundred year old rotting husks of skyscrapers?Do you want your shit to get crushed when those things inevitably collapse?
>>729418030regrettably yes
>>729418173Oh yeah this fucking shot, I'll quote an anon from May last year>bothered to include the Shady Sands monument>bothered to include the Shady Sands well>put them directly next to each other in a flashback so that the audience knows this is Shady Sands>except it's 200 miles south of Shady Sands and was blown up before the events of New Vegas>This image is such a perfect encapsulation of the show. Remember the monument? Remember the well? Okay, don't remember that they're on opposite sides of Shady Sands. And please don't remember that Shady Sands wasn't in the middle of a bunch of burned-out skyscrapers in the Boneyard, which doesn't exist. Here's a 3-second flashback with 2 things you remember, please clap because it's canon.
>>729418229UESP has the same issue with flooding pages with inane non-canon bullshit because of ESO.
>>729418173The skeletonised skyscrapers annoy me. Fallout 4's are the ugliest but it's not inconceivable the bombs could have landed at the right distance.Shady Sands, the original location didn't have them, and the NCR would have demolished them for building material and remove hazards.
>>729418250Not to mention Shady Sands isn't near any metropolises
>>729417913>and we have seen no other landmarks of new vegas, just a made up hospital, and more trees than Nevada would have.That is what caught me off guard. i wish they kept locations somewhat accurate. Season 1 had this problem too.
>>729418173So are the Boneyard and Shady Sands supposed to be the same place in the TV show? Wtf??
>>729418426I figure the idea of the Boneyard is not even a thing and factions like the Followers have just been erased totally. Which is retarded given Caesar was one of them. And we may see an utterly bogged Julie Farkas. But honestly I doubt it since no one seems to give a fuck about them.
>>729418224Maybe shady sands would have fared better if they did not leave them lying around wheel-less>>729418173Like how they kept tying the trolley as a motive for this new shady sands but it did not even make an appearance this season.
>>729418205Sex before marriage is a sin, Maximus is based
>>729418250Anon you are talking about a company that made Megaton
>>729418535motif*
>>729418250Nothing decays in Bethesda Fallout, everyone can still rely on pre-War shit despite being as removed from that era as we are from Napoleonic wars
>>729415410Sadly, they're already making side shit, like a Fallout Shelter reality show. Tourist season might be here for quite a while
>>729418569She's just trying to be nice
>ywn have XCOM/Chimera Squad esque spin off game set in NCR controlled California focusing on the Rangers taking out raider, mafia and mutant scum bc retards think the setting ends once civilisation happens
>Area 51 only contained some aliens, a car, and some fusion cores
>>729418696>touristFallout has been a tourist series since Fallout 3
>>729418397The interstates in NV were pretty important. Novac was on one of them, a freeway leading straight Vegas.It is annoying.
So what became of Vault City from Fallout 2 in the show? Also why is Todd so against mankind rebuilding? Progress is continue as long as mankind exist.
>>729418705Looking at what Bethesda's doing today makes me wish we'd gotten Tactics 2 and perhaps more spinoffs from early 2000s Interplay that stray away from the original RPG formula, who cares if that would be hit and miss
>>729418768It doesn't exist, like the Hub, Junktown, Boneyard, Dayglow, everything else...
>>729416876I always forget how aesthetically pleasing this end card is.
>>729409165they did, twice, but not enough people know about ityes these are canon
>>729418705>>729418783How's the Fallout:Tactics modding scene? Does it exist?
>>729418674the worst part is when you collect junk in fallout 4, companions refers to them as junk and antiques, even tho using the same shitty rotary phones and fans in their home, I would have forgiven bethesda if they had just made post war scrap built designs, but nope the only post war "invention" is a custom terminal you can built in your settlement, which would had made more sense for the diamond city citizen to use.
>>729418726To me the worst part is that shit was just lying around on the first floor. The pre-war government moved the original States Constitution to Area 51, assumedly to protect it from the destruction of war, just to leave it propped by a table on the ground
>>729417002>retarded montage of skipping, changing outfits and blowing up rats while yoyoing
>>729408838Why did they make the veteran ranger armor look gay and retarded like its from fallout 4 or something
>>729418889aeiou
>>729418735Don't act like interplay wasn't circling the drain with BoS and Tactics. And the other shit they had planned.
>>729418726It's actually really insane. Could you IMAGINE the way the old BoS would react to finding Area 51? They sure as fuck wouldn't be holding some dumbass group meeting there and hosting fight clubs.
>>729418912>Danse has memories of surviving most his live by scavenging >Berates you for scavenging anyways Only the robots respect this shit even though the whole game is based around collecting junk.
>>729416329He just got another face transplant.
>>729418397>Season 1 had this problem too.I cut them slack because the original games never ruled out settlements the protag never visited, and the region wasn't covered in Fallout 2 and there's enough time for prosperous NCR towns to spring up. Naming the town "Philly" was a big sin - I thought they were on the east coast.Shady Sands is just lore rape, if it was a different town, or even the hub/boneyard near LA, it would have been more sensible geographically. But that wouldn't have been as crude an excuse to say the NCR was destroyed as a faction.
I think the de-evolution of the fallout series is what has made me such a huge cynic when it comes to franchises getting bought out by other companies.
>>729416565Just dont use the drugs.
>>729419003I'm not saying that. I don't care at all that Fallout became a popular, normie franchise after 3.But pretending it was some super secret obscure nerd thing is just dishonest.
>>729417486only problem i had with F4 was the ending. didn't even mind the crappy mess effect dialogue. i liked the synth theme and the private investigator synth guy was nice, especially with that voice.it was when i saw fallout 76 i realized the series was over. always online, no npcs. even if it wasn't buggy beyond belief those things spelled doom. and they promised no pay2win but naturally that was quickly broken. it's clear that bethesda, just like blizzard before, was now just a mindless profit making machine without people that actually want to make a dream game.
>>729411493because silly
>>729418735Honestly, I didn't hate Fallout 3 players when it first came out. For all the shit it rightfully gets, the game nails atmosphere pretty nicely. I can't remember the wacky wahoo retards being prominent during the early months of 3.
>>729418696>Tourist seasonyou've got it all wrong, this is tourist timelime. The ride never ends.
>>729417989the series took Woke too far when they made the lone wanderer or whatever they call her a female. that's disrespectful. playing as a woman was always a joke in fallout. can you imagine a woman traveling around on her own today in unsafe places let alone in a post-apocalyptic world. media always took women=men too far and some people think it's even remotely realistic.
>the NCR stretches across the entire west coast, has a population of almost 1 million people>somehow nuking one city causes the whole republic to fallretarded
>>729417002Hes fucking retarded and I have no clue what his plan even is.>nuke shady sands because uhhhhh reasons>lose cold fusion>we have these mind control devices that dont actually work and just blow up heads>also we dont have any fucking way to reproduce the mind control devices and our supply is limited cause again we nuked ourselves>im going to threaten a dude on a radio channel when that person may not even exist????? What is the point of him?
>>729413479this is actually so nice
>>729419097The only ending I love in FO4 is the Minutemen bombing the Zeppelin out of the sky and ending the powered armor raiders once and for all. Sadly, Todd has decreed that his golden boys have won yet again.
>>729419354Why do modern writers keep doing this?They did it in Star Trek too with the Romulans>Romulan supernova>somehow this destroys their entire civilization despite their having a "Romulan Star Empire" that spans hundreds of star systems
>>729419416BoS are the baddies everywhere.I bet the shit-arse fallout show won't show BoS nuking NCR's gold.
>>729412739Yep, pretty much. If they really cared, why didn't they set it on the east coast, like their amazing washington dc or Boston?
>>729419096Fallout sold well enough to get a sequel. It was a Triple-A title for the 90's. When you compare it to something like GTA 1 & 2Fallout could compete today under the right management, sad.
>>729415149fallout was inspired by a boy and his dog, not mad max
>>729419354This is the same show that retconned the apocalypse from the result of decades of war and turmoil to a false flag against the poor and innocent Chinese.It's a complete reboot. For all we know, the NCR was literally just LA county.
>>729419557because the TV show is made for retarded boomers and women that don't know the lore of the game. They could have explained that the NCR was a corrupt mess and fighting the Legion weakened them to the point of collapse, but it's easier to just say a big bomb killed them all
This show sucks so much I can't even watch it ironically and in the background while not paying attention.
>>729419374>nuke shady sands because uhhhhh reasonsApparently the Buds Buddy's plan was to eliminate the postwar survivors on the surface and gradually s(n)eed the surface with coddled vault babbies.But this makes no sense because>they did nothing for 200 years before nuking the nearest town with no followup>the Enclave had the genocide goal but actually viable means to achieve it (genetic poisons in the atmosphere and water)>the GECK actually allowed control vaults to create fertile lands via star trek style matter conversion; Vault Tec didn't actually give a fuck about the postwar world so most vaults were just social experiments, not viable colonies>NCR has cities (including Shady Sands) descended from vault colonies
>>729413870Literally the entire plot of the show's first season is that there's an Enclave scientist walking (and later carried) around with the secret to cold fusion implanted in his neck. Like, that's the entire season's macguffin that drives about 80% of the plot.
>>729419684lol is that true? i've seen that movie
>>729418250They probably moved the capital to Boneyard and renamed it because Shady Sands is in the middle of a desert
>>729413479By fucking it up on purpose
I have treating-the-Fallout-IP-like-a-theme-park fatigue. Can someone nuke Bethesda already?
>>729409760Because you didn't take your meds today.
How did he even use this device to blow up Shady Sands if it's constantly shown that this shit does not work and keeps blowing peoples head's off after 10 seconds
>>729411169Nah, I've seen way better Ranger cosplays than that gettup.
>>729408838Yes sir, a nice, multicultural, and racially integrated neighborhood in the 50s. Just what the doctor ordered.
>>729419557Like Romulus, it was the biggest thing they could blow up that normies wouldn't recognise from pop cultural osmosis.They also made the series about Freudian psychobabble where the story cares more about Lucy hating her father, than the significance of her father's crimes, just like Picard was about Picard saving refugees and grandstanding against Starfleet Brexiteers, not the fallout of the collapse of the Romulans.Both franchises also sidestepped the political fallout of a massive war in the most popular spinoff (no NCR, no Cardassia), so the parallels are even more interesting.
>>729420145Because it's fallout 4 stylized
>>729419876yes, the boy dog is even called dogmeat. Even the show and fo76 make a mention to it
>>729417237>>729419097zero self-awarenessyou are the new audience
>>729420119The Enclave are using the chips on the dogs, so they must have perfected the tech and Hank is wasting his time.It is either them or House he was trying to contact.
>>729419774Just remember the writers didn't care about the lore so you have the right to not take the show as canon and laugh at how retarded it gets.
How fast is Tandi rolling in her grave?
I don't even think FO4 looks badmy game looked like this when I played it
>>729420246yeah, bad
1950s America was famous for racial tolerance
>>729420284It was p immersive
>>729420239>Vault Dweller didn't return to Shady Sands and marry herFallout 2 was a mistake.
>>729420119Hank somehow sourced a trailer-sized nuke, and brought it near enough to Shady Sands that a one-man unguarded caravan could stumble it into place without encountering any threat from raiders or animals (or anyone on the road stopping him).He probably had to source the caravan hand separately from the nuke, so had to have a place to hide the nuke, cart, caravan hand, and any technology needed for the mind control.And we also know that somehow Hank set up the nuke and caravan hand on their final journey, with enough time to get back to the vault and read Lucy a bedtime story (even though the bomb went off during the day).
>>729420239They will clone her wont they?
Anyone watching this show is a less than human. Yeah, I like Fallout too. All of them, new and old. This is a different thing.Same way they shit all over LOTR, now that's happening with Fallout. And here you fucking consumer whores are, paying a monthly subscription to be called a retard.Democracy was a mistake.
>>729419097Honestly, I've been playing 76 a lot this last month since I got it for like 5 bucks, it's really just "Fallout 4 but you can't pause, there's more shit you can do, you see another player once every hour or so, and there's a shop and battlepass hovering over your head that you can mostly ignore."Also the main character has no voice acting and there's no stupid baby son plot, which are huge bonuses in my eyes.It's still buggy as hell though.Still got a good kick out of pissing off the bitchy lesbian ghoul TWICE, I even got to kill her girlfriend.
>>729420321I think what pisses off a lot of people the most, including me, is that it's technically impressive what they managed to create in Gamebryo with this big open world set in the Fallout universe albeit a mockery of it. That is the issue. So much potential and yet Bethesda treat the source material with same degree of 'reverence' as the Netflix writers treat Fallout 4 (which is the main source material for the new show). That is to say, with none at all! Fallout 4 was utter dogshit and so is the show. Again, because of the potential is there to be so great and what we get is so mediocre. Enjoy the ride they will just keep raping fallout and normies will keep eating it up, you can put "fallout" on ANYTHING now and it will sell.
>>729413479NOOOOOO EVERYONE HAS TO LIVE IN PREWAR BUILDINGS WITH DIRT AND BROKEN CARS EVERYWHERE
>>729420362Why would she reject sex from you after you save her from raiders, anyway? She thinks Shady Sands is lame and some wandering sexy gigachad shows up at her doorstep and slaughters anyone who threatens her people. She'd melt over him.
>>729419684It was both, especially in regard to the raiders, companions and armor.
>>729420459This is not okay.
>>729420459>paying a monthly subscriptionAnon...
the only thing that can save fallout now is if microsoft decide to sell the IP and whoever buys it do a disney starwars and decanonize half the universe
>>729420459>paying a monthly subscription to be called a retard.Where do you think you are
>>729420575>>729420592pirating it is worse in some ways. You're going out of your way to subject yourself to this shit, FOR FREE
>>729420362>>729420520I think it was implied she was secretly gay, but it has been years since I played the classics so maybe I'm mistaken.
>>729420657maybe it was the rape
>>729420619you assume I am going out of my way, sonarr download the series for me automagically
>>729420708but you chose to watch it
Why didn't they all just buy extra-large fridges to hide in?
>>729420748to shit on it, yes. Maybe even do a youtube review and make money out of todd incompetence
>>729420459>paying a monthly subscription to be called a retardlol, I get that for free by coming here.
>>7294202464 is a game that constantly makes me go this game is so pretty and this game is so fucking ugly, I feel like it somehow manages to look both better and worse than 3 and new vegas, the game feels held by duct tape and very low poly assets are everywhere.
>Where we come from, women aren't allowed to talk. Cunt.The show is a fever dream
>>729420919You look like a fuckable cut of meat. Are you?
>>729420946maybe..
>>729420420There is also the fact that no customs officials or anyone with a Geiger counter got alerted to it. I mean what the actual fuck man?
>>729409165Fallout 76 has some top tier armors, genuinely, but that's kind of expected considering that they're just bait to get you to pay in further to get them.
>>729420619>>729420748>skipping out on watching garbage so you can shit on it with righteous fervorno
>>729415149>missing Wasteland; from which fallout is its progenytechnically Fallout wouldn't even been a thing if Fargo never got fucked over by IP bullshit.
>>729421043Wait isn't shady sands from vault dwellers with pip boys lol
>>729416269>who could even stop them now?Some cosplaying militia with civil-war era mortars?
>>729418705i had thought of something like that.>Fallout Tactics 2: NCR Rangers>outside of settling domestic issues in New California, you also get to explore post-war Mexico.
>>729421096lol this just gets worse and worse
>>729420919I see they also don’t understand how the chapters function and only Lyon’s ever really split from the doctrine. Fuck even Elijah ran before he could go full retard and even the others in the Mojave chapter thought he was extreme. Now there are somehow random chapters with radically different ways and ideas? The BoS never has any anti-female policy either so this is just blatant “they are big ol’ meanies” tier shit. So fucking lazy.
>>729420657You wouldn't get ithttps://youtu.be/K6BRQKHYkjQ
>>729421187meant for >>729420619 lol
>>729421105For how much I dislike Fallout 4 knocking that stupid fucking blimp out of the sky was cathartic.
>>729414017>>729416426I thought this was a joke or make up camera tricks for the show but it's the truth. Shiieeeet. Poor Kumar tried to compete with the white man and still falls short.
The 'bad' Brotherhood factions in the games were bad due to a fanatic and liter interpretation of the Codex and aversion to anyone who was not indoctrinated by it.In the show they are bad because they're a bunch of OOGA BOOGA's and Niggermius is apparently the only person who actually respects the Codex.
>>729421043A nuclear bomb of that size wouldn't need to be inside a palisade to wipe out the town; they could have had guards at the gate (or road checkpoint) realize it was a nuke and start the panic.I don't recall, but I think season 1 never specified how Hank nuked Shady Sands. It might have been a "leftover missile" thing like in New Vegas' DLC, but I think most took it to be a suitcase nuke. This is neither.
>>729421371It looks like one of the nukes Literby Primus throws
>>729417438>It's okay to exploit people, goy! Okay but what if you try doing that to me and I just outright fucking kill you for trying it? It's okay to exploit exploiters.>OY VEY DIS IS ANUDDA SHOAH! HELP HELP! THIS MAN IS CRAZY!
>>729421371Um isn't it literally the exact size of nukes from fallout 4 that liberty prime was launching all over boston with reckless abandon
>>729418783I always imagined that Brute Force was Fallout:BoS 2 since I had BoS on the XBox too.
>>729419374>>729419797Playing devils advocate here, but I think the implication at this point is that there was no plan, and the big reveal will be that vault tech did NOT actually start the war.
>>729421565How many canons can there be?1>US started the nukes because the Chinese had insane stealth tech2>China started the nukes because they feared advanced US power armor3>aliens started the nuclear war because fuck you
>>729420919the leftism is really rearing its ugly head in this season, more than the first one
I wish Bethesda would develop their properties through books. Its like 10-20 years between games now. Would it kill them to release a novel or two.
>>729418912>the worst part is when you collect junk in fallout 4, companions refers to them as junk and antiquesThis shit actually infurated the fuck out of me when I was playing FO4.>Running around with Presto Gravy>Pick up a typewriter, abraxo cleaner, duct tape>Hey anon, that just looks like junk to me...HEY PRESTON.I BUILT YOUR FUCKING HOUSE WITH ALL THIS CRAP.I BUILT YOUR FUCKING WATER PURIFIER, YOUR GUN TURRETS, I EVEN BUILT SHOP STALLS AND A MOTHERFUCKING GYM WITH ALL THIS SHIT.AND YOU ARE GOING TO BITCH TO ME ABOUT IT BEING JUNK!?Is THAT why all you fuckers haven't built a single thing, EVER!? Because you're unaware that construction requires MATERIALS?!
>>729421475Visually similar, but we know Hank wanted to destroy the town, while Liberty Prime was using them as small tactical nukes. So if they are the same, they are surely dial-a-yield, and not something that could be outrun within three minutes.
>>729421629>US started the nukes because the Chinese had insane stealth techWhere is this version presented? F3 paints it as US raping China so hard that they invade mainland with the shitty T-45 and get bogged down, then T-51b lets them reach the capital and China starts nuking.
>>729420183I love all of Coop's films tbqh
>>729421154I'm kinda glad they're shitting on the Brotherhood to be honest. They're making the Legion look more disciplined.
>>729421709Part of Operation Anchorage, US + Canadians dealing with Chinese stealth shit there. They started to think that tech could be applied elsewhere, nuclear submarines and stuff, and they might already be in a losing position, so they took the initiative and launched the attack.
>Nigger sees collapsed caravan guard muttering about nuclear winters>First thing he does is start looting his caravanYou literally can't make this shit up lmao.
>>729421629>US started the nukes because the Chinese had insane stealth techIn FO1-2, it's never confirmed who nuked who (because that is irrelevant to the plot)But if China nuked first, the reason was due to America creating FEV and various bioweapons that were far more dangerous than nukes.
>>729413164lmfao i am so glad i'm not watching this slop
>>729421770My issue is that if you’re going to shit on the Brotherhood then you have to do it right. Making them retarded doesn’t address the issue. They are basically a group that does not focus on rebuilding anything and more or less just go around collecting and hoarding military tech. So that means they don’t really provide or do anything for anyone but themselves. Even after they started recruiting once Lyon’s died they just went back to doing the same shit and not helping rebuild. I mean even in 4 they don’t interact with settlements beyond “requisitioning” supplies.
>>729421709The F3 DLC. The US was winning the war, but China's stealth tech was about to turn the tides hard.
>>729421565The writing of that conspiracy meeting in season 1 made no sense Even if we set aside the FNV canon that House did not know for certain when the bombs would fall (and was not part of anyone else's conspiracy), we see in the opening that Cooper is caught off guard by the bombs, implying his wife didn't know when the bombs would fall. (And she likely did not set her daughter up to be caught in the blasts, even if betraying her husband would make sense.)Other characters they namedropped at that meeting were also caught off guard within game canon
>>729421893>FEVYeah it's never truly confirmed, but there's a lot of evidence presented for different interpretations. Could be the Chinese nuked the US because America was developing FEV weapons and if so, they were right to do it
>>729421692>BooksGreat, just what I want to do, be forced to read through the 5 book set and tie-in comic collection just to understand what the fuck is going on in the next TES or Fallout game.>Bro what do you mean you don't know who Jimmy Smallhands is!? He's like the most important character in the IP right now! Dude fought the gigaclaw and befriended Tom Ribbenstone>WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU DON'T KNOW WHO TOM RIBBENSTONE IS!? HE WAS IN COMIC ISSUE TWENTY THREE IN THE LAST THREE PANELS!
>>729421798But Operation Anchorage occurs before the U.S. counter attacks and invades China.
>>729421972China already knew about FEV and tried to steal it, they got stopped, shot and dropped it, it's why New Plague happened.
>>729421969Not to mention characters repping the wrong faction like Sinclair.
>>729417486
>>729421629They're probably going to leave it up in the air. At this point I'm 99% certain that all the conspiracy stuff is leading to a Dr. Strangelove moment where the vault tech execs call off the whole thing at the last minute only for the war to start anyway leaving them all panicking. Episode 3 & 4 will likely reveal that House is already in his life support system and that both his actors are body doubles that he's given different sets of instructions too. He'll reveal himself to Cooper and explain how everything is already doomed leading to Cooper having a meltdown and ending up a pariah.
>>729422161Don't like the show but I'm saving this. Thanks.
China starting the great war makes the most sense since all evidence points towards them, US Power Armor troops kicked the chinese out of alaska and now where invading mainland china towards their capital, so the nukes could have been the last desperate move of the chinese, there are were also chinese nuclear submarines on both the west and east coast, and the crew from both confirmed to have destroyed San Francisco and Boston.
>>729420487looks like it's 4.70 USD right now on Steam where I live. -90%didn't realize it was that cheap but I still don't want it since there are other games to play.i've read that 76 is a lot better now, even has quests, but i just don't want to support always-online single player games. that shit isn't a multiplayer game and even if it was i don't see myself wanting it.>>729420185i'm almost 50, i doubt i'm the new audience
>>729408838Correct me if i am wrong. but isn't shady sands in the middle of nowhere fo1 and most of the building are adobe styled one. why are there huge skyscraper ruins and pristine shops came from
>>729408838This is what Bethesda took from us
ive already lived to see everything that i care about become gay and lame and i really cant wait to see what happens after that
>>729422227You are not wrong, it's just that the show writers decided to retcon Shady Sands to be close to LA for no reason.
>>729422227Because they moved it to LA. Why? To fuck with the canon, it makes no sense and they never really use the location for anything. It’s not even for filming reasons either since they film parts of S1 in New York.
>>729422227Ooh I get to larp as the dime a dozen abhorrent director:Whaaaat so now you want developed societies in fallout, sheesh you cant please everyone ;) :)
>>729422169>>729422220War really has changed, thanks to nukes. Used to be, you'd wanna keep your super weapons a secret, but now you want to make sure your enemies are aware of your general capabilities. Because if you let them think that you've got some crazy shit they don't know about, well then nukes start flying.
>>729417703>looks like a 40 year old>voice sounds like a 19 year oldthat's really gotta suck
>>729421565>>729421969Sorry, what I meant by the reply is that you can't even call whatever they end up doing a "reveal" or a "twist", because the conspiracy meeting never made internal sense. They didn't think backwards or forwards, just what would be sinister and grandiose enough for the one disconnected scene on film.There won't be a "reveal", just a fizzle-out due to backtracking. In-universe, deliberately trying to destroy civilization and irradiate the ecosystem would be seen as insanity; the real sinister scheming would have been treating the nuclear apocalypse as an acceptable price for wiping out America's enemies, and paranoia about nuclear survival useful for controlling the population. But that's ironically politically incorrect and bad for business IRL now, so they slapped this non-reasoning together carelessly.
>>729420459Third time’s the charm baby!Warhammer 40K show will blow these out of the parkOr will crash and burn just like them
>>729418373>and the NCR would have demolished them for building material and remove hazards.skyscraper ruins would be pretty costly to completely clear away even if possible.I think it could make sense depending on how they justify them.
>>729422738>Third time’s the charm baby!The Witcher
>>729422738A 40k show is a much more involved undertaking than a Fallout show. I have no faith.
The BoS aint been what they were in 1 and 2 longer than they ever actually were at this point and that makes me a bit sad.They might have been cagey and turned away outsiders at their main base but they weren't crazy isolationists or tech obsessed fanatics and they're partially the reason Shady Sands ever manged to grow beyond a village since the BoS in that area were fucking relentless when it came to cracking down on bandits.They also engaged in free trade and manufacturing for anyone they vetted save for their more advanced tech like laser, power armour or anything nuclear.Hell their decline in FO2 is explicitly because they got too integrated into the NCR, whom they were allied with, and became more focused on being a research and manufacturing power instead of a independent military force.
>>729418705Of all the settings that could get XCOM'd fallout is pretty high up there on the totem pole of potential even more so than the star wars one coming out soon. UFO defense/EW style playing as NCR or XCOM2 style playing as a BoS chapter would be neat.
>>729422419See >>729422169
>>729415272Why dont you just play a different game? Why does every fallout thread end up a fake outrage shit flinging session?
>>729422794A good 40k series would be 95% vibes and action, like the fan animation Astartes, but knowing the slop producing media industry, it will be dominated by "fish out of water" writing as bad as Forspoken, full of continual infodumping for people too dumb to remember they're watching a story that takes place in a deliberately weird setting that the characters don't actually need explained to them in the first place.
>>729422309>>729422317>>729422323then this show really is retarded and non-canon. like you have the boneyard, the hub, san Francisco and even LA to show a NCR society near old world ruins and they decided to turn Shady sands, which was in the middle of nowhere in the nevada in fo1 and a huge city in fo2 with adobe walls and force field gates into a ghetto in the middle of the city with NO defensible walls?
>>729423023Well, if it's going to use human actors in power armor, I have no idea how it won't look like one of those Youtube edits where Trump is Horus or whatever

>>729418705>taking out mutant scumCan't do that in NCR, they have rights.
>>729413164Would all of you have proffered it being Arthur Maxson just race swapped?
>>729423007>>729422169That would still be backtracking explicable only in terms of out-of-universe writing problems.It adds nothing and confuses a lot of the issue if the conspirators decided to nuke the world, reconsidered, and were then caught totally blindsided by the nuclear war that resulted naturally from great power politics.Part of the original satirical message was that the supposed "planning for the post-apocalypse" was being done without any forward thinking, and preventing the pre-war people from thinking clearly about what war would mean.
>>729423420It's not? I thought it was Saarthur

>>729422227>the sequence where they start kneecapping paladins with handloaded depleted uranium rounds from all sides
>>729423546Pick your battles. I like Fallout, but dislike the show and current climate of the series. I watch it, find things to hate about it, then talk to other people who hate it to tell them things they'll also hate about it. It's fun to shit on things
>>729423062Space marines wouldn't be the main characters, it would revolve around a diverse group of imperial guard or "section 31" style inquisitionEven if they wanted to, they would not be allowed (yes, it's functionally true) to have an all-male cast, no matter how ethnically diverse
>>729408838This is how I picture the idealized version of woke-utopianism where reddit trannies and deluded leftists think they'll be able to contribute to the commune by being dog walkers or reading books to children.

Tod finally raped and killed fallout.
>>729423052It’s in SoCal near Mount Whitney (approximate location of Vault 13) but yeah it is retarded to move it.

>>729423773>i like all of themWhy?
>>729423976because they're all good games. some better than others, no doubt, but there's not a single bad game in the entire Fallout extended series
>>729423023The Secret Level episode of Warhammer was pretty cool and proof that it can work. My bet Cavill is going to play live action Titus and its taking so long because the costume design is going full fidelity modeThats my wishful thinking anyway

>>729424204Secret level had 2 episodes for fucking concord the space marine episode was lightning in a bottle that snuck past.
>>729424609never played that one, you got me.
>>729416876Making bricks out of mud and straw is lost technology anon. Using rusty car hood is a much more effective building material.
>>729424691It gets me every time that the Concord episodes were meant to tease a season that never came.
>>729423439There's a subtle plot thread through 3 and 4 that implies vault tech never really expected the war to happen, and that they were just opportunists using the threat of war to suckle from the federal teat and exploit the public at the same time. Besides that, I've noticed that none of vault tech stuff shown so far indicates they got very far with any supposed master plan. All we know is that they managed to freeze some junior executives and VIP customers. And the radio message in episode one definitely seems to indicate that the majority of vault tech is either gone or incapable of action by the point of the show.
>>729424691The AC one was neat too
