Our guys put the monorail back to work!
I’m so happy that this show is getting the praise it deserves, because so many people in the community were hating on it before it even came out
The canon changes are stupid and the portrayal of the past is a bit, odd.
@@gogeta667 womp womp
@gogeta667 I mean every fallout game always changes something about canon.
@@gogeta667If you’re talking about shady sands, it was never retconned to be destroyed in 2277. The chalkboard in vault 4 was saying the DOWNFALL of Shady Sands was in 2277 (the year of the first battle of Hoover Dam.)
@@gogeta667let’s see your fallout adaptation then
Bro that scene looking at the New California Republic’s flag gave me goosebumps fr
Same
The best scene to me was when lucy goes to kiss maximus, then the two severed heads are "kissing" . Just seemed like a perfect adaptation of the the humor in the games
@@JJ_5289I bet you wished Maximus was kissing your wife too😂 honestly this show was cucked
yep. and the fallout theme playing with she discovered the flag.
the cogsworth scene got me really buzzing with using the actual voice actor and making them an actual person from the past, chefs kiss
actual?
*Codsworth
Watch What We Do In The Shadows
That scene was so good
@@UltimaPowersThe robot was called cogsworth
Lucy's brother Norm is a very underrated character. His story of finding out the truth of Vault 31 was one of the show's highlights
Also him becoming less of a coward
Norm is a bad ass
I love Norm so much, at the beginning of the show it seemed like he’d be annoying. However, he became motivated almost instantly and had a change in personality.
I was always anticipating seeing more of what he'd discover it was always so cool
Norm was great, and he showed that courage comes in more forms than just physical combat. The courage to stand up to a powerful authority that could kill you at any stage is arguably the most courageous act of all.
Hearing walton goggins say the famous words "War, war never changes" I almost shit my pants
I like the slide of hand….that the last episode what titled the beginning….and that when he said it…..
Damn get bro some diapers
Yeahhhhh....Its not like they made his fuckin wife, who has never seen or experienced ANY COMBAT, say it first and so making HER the origin story..
Ron Perlman should have had a cameo at the very least. he was voicing the games for so long, they did him dirty
@@dizzee2100 heres hoping he plays Marcus leader of Jacobstown in Season 2, NGL any SuperMutant being played by him would be cool
I was shocked by how good it was, and a lot of that was how brutal they depicted the fallout universe, they weren't scared to mention touchy subjects because it might offend people.
not only subject matter but it's just brutal in general. that was my biggest worry but they nailed it
the gore was completely pointless and totally ruined the tone of the show.
@@Semjasa616 I'm guessing you never played the games ?
@@Semjasa616this is one of the dumbest things I have read about the series so far. You aren't watching SpongeBob dude, it's Fallout
@@Semjasa616 Fallout 1 and 2 allowed you to have a 'maximum gore' setting and a trait/perk which caused extremely gory, comical deaths like exploding arms and massive pools of blood in battles.
Funny how bethesda actually puts actual care to stuff they know modders cant patch.
Is that a flex or a bet? Bethesda is still Bethesda, they made game and that’s it, the money flow
Did they really?
The show has more plot (more accurately *lore*) holes than a gang banger after a firefight.
@@sulimanthemagnificent4893 you say that but when Obsidian did it, everyone celebrate like hell
@@justnoob8141 Because they weren’t giant and massive ones that destroy the stories of multiple previous games if not the entire IP.
Exhibit A) the Master and BOS have access to the records of *every* vault (come to think of it… even player characters do… more then once), yet the miss 31-33, ok sure maybe the records got wiped (unlikely as it is)… but both groups and even then NCR had *decades* to search the bone yard area and didn’t find anything?
Exhibit B, Vault-Teks motives… get ready for a big one…
If the company wants total autocratic power ala-house, why do they do *nothing* for 200 years, literally.
You’d think the corporation who wants to control the globe and/or global markets to the extent they’d nuke everything would at least monitor the surface periodically just in case… but they don’t (which considering their motive is nonsense), else they’d have done something far sooner against;
The COMMUNISTS in the Shi
The United States Army (BOS)
The United States Government (Enclave)
The NCR
The Legion
The Master
They do nothing, which is weird since they killed everyone and everything to achieve total control and didn’t account for the fact… people and organisations could survive/rebuild… nor did they monitor the surface to see if they succeeded or not.
Exhibit C; Magical ghoul serum that never existed before nor was ever mentioned, seen or implied before… which then makes the NCR accepting ghouls in the army retarded and any settlement tolerating them retarded, why wouldn’t you just kill all of them? (de-facto racism is ok now, because the minorities might be dangerous…)
I don’t think Obsidian made “mistakes” that big… I don’t think good writers make mistakes that big… but maybe that’s just me…
Main reason why i refuse to give Bethesda money.
The only thing the show is missing is a Ron Perlman intro
Duuuuuude
I’m glad they left it out.. as iconic as the intro is. It spoils the message of the show that human beings will never stop finding shit to fight about.. it’s better they left it till the end.
Season 2 should have a Perlman recap
@@firstlast9846 they already said that in the show....
I want him to be a Mid Western BoS in BADASS horned power armor with a menacing look and grim " you soon dead punk! " stare and ready to WHOOP your arses!
There was just an interview today where Todd Howard cleared up some of the lore confusion and confirmed that everything in the show including the shady sands destruction happened after New Vegas
yeah I saw that too! Didn't have time to put it in the video tho
@@TheActManI didn't like the reveal of who dropped the bombs first. The show made the commie sympathizers appear sane, all for the sake of really wanting to own the Capitalists. With Todd Howard's treatment of Fallout 4 and Fallout 76, I'm surprised the show was good as it was, but the ending was a disappointment.
Still sucks though.
Just cause Cuck Howard says so doesn't mean he is wright he all of Bethesda and you tourists are all factually wrong and this show is as shit as yalls standards
@@helwrecht1637 are you talking about the show itself or shady sands getting destroyed? I agree I don’t like the direction they took with that but at least it doesn’t break the lore
Not gonna lie, the main actor who plays Lucy would be an amazing role as Chell from Portal.
A scene that I really enjoyed was when Lucy was sneaking away and she kept messing up. That shows that she has a low sneak stat 😂
She also seem to have a proficiency in small guns that you see throughout the show.
I find the attention to detail on how states work really cool.
Everything in lucy is a dump stat
Also she kept failing speech checks. She's the first time player, trying to even out their stats so they suck at everything at first lol
I thought the scene where Cooper starts tearing up after his wife say “we drop them ourselves” was just phenomenal. He’s such an amazing actor. Great scene, buildup, just *chef’s kiss*
I absolutely lost my sh*t in that moment like I never had before. The feeling of realizing that a 27 year-old overarching mystery was just answered a week ago, culminating so many horrors on so many levels at the same instant, is overwhelming. I had to stop and feel for a full minute; I had NEVER done that for a piece of media before because I felt something that deeply
He did such a good job in that scene even I felt betrayed.
he steals every scene he's in
Goggins' acting was incredible. But none of that made sense. First off, so his wife is the CEO? Why is she leading the meeting, the entire show you get the impression she's a upper middle management and now she's leading the meeting with the competitors?
Vault Tec's goal is a total monopoly, wipe every government, group, faction, company out and control everything. So obviously the smartest thing to do is let all your competitors know. They're not even offering a merger or a union. The other companies might help building vaults or technology but they get their own vaults, can choose their own experiments and keep their own secrets. Which defeats the entire point of dropping the nukes to wipe out all factions.
My favorite scene. You can just feel his emotion
"Thou shall get side tracked by bullshit every god damn time" Is my favorite line in the show because it just goes to show when you TRY and do the main quest no matter what you will ALWAYS get side tracked by side quests and random shit instead. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. 😂😂😂😂
Normie.
I have only played Fallout 4 (and 76 for like 3 hours before I gave up), but out of like 20 playthroughs I started, I never got even halfway into the main quest. So I never finished the game. I mean, the furthest I ever got was reclaiming that fortress for the minutemen lol. Always got distracted with side quest, then got distracted by even more things doing those sidequests, then I grew tired of the character/build and started again. And again. And again. And again. Every time with more mods, and then getting distracted even more by enhanced base building lmao
No no, you must all ways be sidetracked by all everything and very finish Any quests then get your saves corrupted by an OS update. You have to stop playing because of work, school , and or vacations and forget what main quests or where you left off.
@@stanhry the number of playthroughs ended because I wrecked the game beyond saving is way too high. Such are the perils of installing mods.. Especially mid-playthrough. But then again, it's bethesda. If you don't install mods, you're getting a really bad, really buggy game... of you mess the difficulty curve and end up with a too easy or too hard game (since notoriously the only thing the difficulty slider in bethesda games do is increase mob HP and damage exponentially, making them into a bullet sponge to end all bullet sponges)...
what "sidetracks"? All the fun little things and the lore is what makes Fallout special. Now we already know who is Mr. House next season.
The red rocket gas station scene was my favorite. I spent way too many hours building a settlement there in Fallout 4. I felt like I was back home for a while only to see the doggo get shoved into a fridge and ignored... like my old game file. 😥
"what if i do a thumbs up" gave me chills
Really? That gave you chills... come on lol.
@@baconbenjidestroyer I apologize for enjoying something
@Impossible_Pete Nothing wrong with enjoying something, mate. 👍
@@Impossible_Pete wtf is wrong with you
@@weizenw probably a lot 🤷♂️ haha
Just seeing the clip of Ella Purnell talking about how she played the games to try to learn the source material, how she got really into the games and how important it was to her to respect the source material was what made me want to check out the show. We need more people like her and Henry Cavill.
I'd like her and Henry to team up on a future video game adaptation. Maybe she could be in the Warhammer series he's working on. She could solidify her legacy as the queen of starring in great video game adaptations.
@@The_Isaiahnator That’d be really cool. With the two of them it’d be guaranteed that show would be amazing. We already know Henry loves Warhammer and if Ella brought the same level of dedication to whatever hypothetical role she’d get in that show that she did to Lucy Maclean it’d make the show an all time great.
Lucy the goat too. Loved her *albeit obvious* classic arc of naïve vault dweller to badass competent wastelander
You people are so gullible. You believe every word professional PRETENDERS tell you. Ironic.
Giga Purnell
between Arcane, Edgerunners and Fallout specifically, i'm gonna say the common denominator is telling stories in the game's setting has a better batting average than directly adapting the game's plots
Fallout is nowhere near Arcane and edgerunners level, but it's not a bad adaptation at all.
This is the runner here. People don’t even know they’d just prefer well-done worldbuilding than anything else!
right. get the vibe over 1:1, *then* have a plot that fits the medium
@@salmanhanifa7853 It's tough to compare animated shows and live action shows. Animated shows just due to their art form are much easier to be creative with as they're not bound by the laws and physics of real life. I think for an animated show, the Fallout show is one of the best video game adaptations ever made.
@@salmanhanifa7853 arcane is pretty overrated lmao, just because animation
One thing to note, mulldaver actually does carry an energy pistol when the BOS attack the observatory in the final episode
There's also a guard with a laser rifle in the Siggi's lab episode
Yeah they show some laser weapons but none of them are ever fired
Don’t you think it’s weird how mulldaver is easily forgiven by the protagonist for massacring vault 33 and almost killing her brother… like that’s completely forgetten?
@@sebastiandalessandro4221 Absolutely nothing about Vault 32/33s attack makes sense in the end. That's one of my huge complaints.
Yeah but never shot it. Even during BoS attack no energy projectile seen
My favorite character is Lucy. Her overly optimistic and positive attitude is slowly being replaced by a more cynical and downbeat version. I love the difference between her first "okey dokey" and her last one in the final episode. She also has some other very fun quotes, but unlike modern day MCU, the humor doesn't undercut any tension. When she is in the final big confrontation where she learns the truth about her father and mother, she is not making jokes anymore.
The Ghoul and Maximus are also very good and interesting characters that I want to see more of. I also liked Thaddeus and hope we get to see his journey into becoming a ghoul.
But it doesnt serve her at all if she not make better levels in her stats
Before I had watched the Fallout series, I had just watched fargo (the movie, not the show), and Lucy's character kind of reminds me of someone from Minnesota just by the way she talks.
Thaddeus was an absolute gem, and his interactions with Maximus were hilarious. He better come back for season 2.
She's good, but I like her brother.
I loved the checking the headless body with just the wanted picture of the head.
"that's definitely him"
Yo dang right
shit made me cackle
Lucy: Sees bobble head but doesn't grab it
Inner me: Lucy please STOP AND TAKE IT!! You need better stats damn it!
Nah, it was a charisma bobble head. She already maxed out.😂
I honestly thought I was the only one who was thinking that lol
@OldSchoolGenius Does she though? She seemed to fail quite a few persuasion checks.
They have an official SPECIAL stats for Lucy from the Fallout Shelter game. Her char is 6 if I remember
So thats the reason she is so stupid all the time everything else is her dump stat
I watched it with my mom and dad and explained stuff to them when needed. They loved it so much and I got to show my parents how much of a fallout nerd I was. 10/10 would recommend
And yet i gurantee you never played the Originals, only " Bethesda" Fallout. As long as Bethesda maintains the license, dont expect decent stories.
@MLPDethDealr32 I have, and I liked it. It's noob friendly, you're just playing the hypocrite.
@@MLPDethDealr32 You give some crazy guarantees dude.
The only thing they missed was having Dog Meat get in the way. 3 seconds of the ghoul trying to push his way past dog meat in a doorway, giving him a look like "little bastard" when he gets by. Don't even have him say anything, just add that little bit to a scene. It would have been great.
Would be in character for a Malinois too, mine does it all the bloody time.
Just stops in from of me, usually at an angle so she is blocking the way, wagging her tail and smiling like a goofball saying "gimme scritches".
I like how the 3 protagonists and a lot of the story-beats are classic Fallout:
Lucy, the naive vault dweller who's in the wastes for the first time, looking for her dad (a la Fallout 3)
Maximus who probably joined the BoS because he thought Power Armor was cool (lol)
The Ghoul who is already experienced in the wasteland, and has unique motivations (a la New Vegas).
And MY FAVORITE:
Norm (Lucy's brother) finding out the history and true reason behind his vault.
Yeah I really liked all the characters!
The Fallout 4 influence with the criopods was really cool. (The Norm part)
Really hope they give Maximus more initiative and more motivation to make the Brotherhood into the force of good he wishes them to be, he even says to the asshole paladin "you don't deserve to wear that armor", hope he said that not only because power armor is cool but that the Brotherhood has some principles and valor to uphold.
Norm was the TheEpicNate of the fallout universe
Norm strikes me as an Intelligence build, esp with his hacking skills
One thing I do think is that The Ink Spots deserve recognition for their music in fallout. And I hope that their estates are receiving proper compensation. “It’s All Over but the Crying” and “I Don’t Want to Set The World On Fire” those songs are intrinsic to the identity of the fallout franchise
lets not forget about maybe ! that's the og fallout song
Most likely not; they died like 100 years ago
Don't forget about "Maybe" from FO1
Honestly, their famous " BUM buBUM bubum" intro Is such a great way to "fast travel" your immersion to the realm of Fallout. Like a magic spell/ incantation.
From some of these comments the fact the group is Black Americans would be called DEI and "race propaganda" when Black Americans made The Gospel and The Blues are the basis for all modern music. Great point and add Nat King Cole 🎉
One thing I loved about the show is they catch you off guard a number of times by briefly mentioning things that become way important later in the season. Just off-handed remarks that you don't think about, then later realize "This is exactly what they were talking about earlier"
"This ass jerky aint gunna make itself" best line in the whole show
"A feller's gotta eat a feller"
I love how Ella Purnell and Walton Goggins had two opposite approaches to their roles.
Ella thought it important to play the games to get familiar with the source material so they can be consistent with it, and Walton thought he had to actively avoid playing the games so there could be someone on set who could give a perspective of a casual viewer unfamiliar with the source material.
She said she got to level 2 in an interview, how familiar could she be?
@@paladin198lmao and else where it's been said she played all of them.
She got to LVL 2 in the SHOW...
@@Kspice9000 playing all 7 games for 10 minutes could technically count...
@@paladin198 She also said she watched *A LOT* of game play, to make up for the fact that it would take her longer to learn the game and play than to just watch the videos.
Walton Goggins fits so well in the Fallout universe, He's comedy is perfect

He's amazing in everything. I think he's a crazy underrated actor. So watchable in everything he's in. Every performance is commanding and believable. He's like the Daniel day Lewis of TV shows.

I also love how Lucy's character development is done in such a way that you can almost tell exactly when she levels up.
Actman just wanted another opportunity to bust out his checkered suit jacket 😂
Wouldn't you?
Daam right!
Who wouldn't?
Gives a boost to charisma stat

“Thou shalt be side tracked by bullshit every goddamn time”
The best line Ive heard in the show so far. Sums up Fallout Games perfectly!!!

@@boobio1nah bro im good that guy is racist and gets no bitches💀
Truth in the middle of something on the main quest line next thing you know it's like welp here I go doing side missions agian
I still busy adjusting furniture angle in settlement. Shaun can wait.
And "I do this shit for the love of the game"
An underrated aspect is the characters each play as a moral background in the game. Lucy is like a good playthrough, not looking for violence, Maximus is a neutral playthrough where he will kill and do what he feels is right, and the ghoul with the evil playthrough
If you are interested in replaying the Fallout games I would strongly recommend looking up A Tale of Two Wastelands - it's a mod that combines Fallout 3 and New Vegas into a single game. You can travel between the two zones on a single character and play all the content of both of them whenever you want. Essentialy it ports all of Fallout 3 into New Vegas (I think you need to own both F3 and NV on the same platform for it to work but they are so cheap it barely matters nowadays) and introduces some new elements as well. Playing it is an actual blast.
A nuclear blast.
I like how the protagonists felt like our gamer personalities, The Vault Dweler: our eagerness for exploration and curiosity, The Brotherhood Scribe: our expectations vs reality of any faction we began to like, The Ghoul: our desire to murder anything and anyone in our way to get what we want, and The brother: a need to uncover misteries and secrets hidden within the location we are
Holy fuck, you're right
It's easy to tell that you have never played any fallout game.
@@JusticeforLiberty ...seriously?
Of all the good decisions that went into making this show, this is by far the most important. Even though each personality is archetypal, I fell in love with every single one.
And Lucy got better at things like combat over time, just like in the game!

When they were exploring vault 32, that was the closest I ever felt to watching a game made into a show. Watching the characters exploring the creepy and dark tunnels of an abandoned vault was literally perfect. Loved the show so much.
I just watched the entire series today, it was so awesome and I’m glad they treated this show with respect and passion. I’m going back to playing fallout 4 now
i watched the whole season with my dad.
as a fan of fallout, i loved the show
as someone that never played a video game before, my dad loved the show.
and we discussed a lot about the lore and the fallout universe after. that is what i call a good show
The performance that Moisés Arias gave as Norm was exceptional! I haven't read much praise for his on-screen presence, but I really appreciated how the "less is more" approach sold his reactions.
His dialogue and expressions were always at odds. His facial expressions showed how he knew what was going on but he was still trying to innocently play dumb by what he was saying. So good!
Kid can act.
I hope we someday get a Halo Show.
Imagine a show that respects the lore, uses the music, engages with the original IP and brings it to new heights.
Yeah better than the one we have already for sure

I freaking loved this show. Not only did I watch it once on a long flight, but also a second time with only listening to the audio… A bit like an audiobook. A fantastic experience that I'll remember for a long long time. The second viewing even offers interesting details that I totally missed.
1 (somewhat) Easter egg I love is when the BOS scribe is talking to the radio guy and if you listen to the music he’s playing, it’s one of the songs you can hear when listening to the Minutemen radio in Fallout 4.
I know! I kept thinking: “wait are the Minutemen here too???!”
@@jacksauceanother cool thing, before that scene where he meets the doctor that fixes his leg, you can actually hear a minuteman on the radio, it’s even labeled as “Minutemen Radio” in the cast list!
My dad had to point it out for me to realize
I thought it was a reference to Agathas station from Fallout 3.
When Lucy unwittingly sets the ferals loose in the chem shop, gets that experience boost to level up and comes out in the armored vault suit. Thats when i knew it was gonna be good!
I didn't even think about XP watching this show, but that's EXACTLY what happened with that scene! Amazing detail. I was sat there thinking "Oh all of a sudden she got a lot tougher" like duh, that's what happens in-game! Great insight.
Yooooooooooooooo
Just found you, and subscribed. Loved the video and Major kudos for adding RDR2 Arthur and Lenny Saloon music in the middle.

I would LOVE to have watched this with someone who has never played these games before and watch them marvel at just how fun the Fallout world is.

definitely not what I imagined Sinclair to look like... and i thought Big MT knowingly sent the cloud to the sierra madre... but okay

He reminded me a lot of Gizmo lol
The Hot Coffee song from the first episode had me realize how beautifully well synchronized music and scenes creates a feeling that cant be explained thus is a factor of why the show is just chefs kiss for the fans
bro norm’s character was so good with him trynna see what’s happening vault 31 n 32 that he got me theorizing with him
The fact that there's no Ron Perlman intro made me sad. However, what might happen when the series comes to an end is that we get a slide show narrated conclusion to the story. THAT would be the cherry on top. A man can dream.
Literally just finished re-watching your New Vegas video and now see this perfectly timed upload, LET'S GOOOOO!!!
BASED
@@TheActMan Will you ever do a video on the New Vegas DLCs please? I would love to hear your thoughts on Old World Blues and Lonesome Road in particular.
Nice
11:58 might be the best scene in the show.
I never played the games and the show really made the T-60 armor soldiers seem like elite soldiers prepared for anything. I was shocked when the first encounter the same elite soldiers had with a stronger enemy ended up with him running away while repeating "F*CK F*CK F*CK" 😂
Thank you for this! Been excited to watch but nervous cuz I’ve been slowly savoring the episodes and haven’t finished, not real spoilers here….
What in the god damn.
Very happy with the show 😌
If Thaddeus isn't a companion in Fallout 5 I'm putting a razor blade in Todd Howards boot.
Shut up, normie.
Can't we appreciate that the Fallout 4's "assault rifle" is being used as intended, cause in the concept arts the "AR" was intended to be a machine gun to be wield it in Power Armor. In the series is so f#cking gigantic that i would consider a heavy machine gun like the M2, and it fits really well with the T-60.
Yes I love it. It was also suppose to be a 50.cal machine gun
Still hate the design of the gun but it does look less bad when carried with power armor or on a tripod
Been a fallout fan since I was 15, and I’m almost 30 now. And damn, I’m so happy to see the show get the attention and love that people who’ve had the games all this time have known… the show is fun, feels exactly like another Fallout campaign.
My mom, who doesnt play any video games, wanted to watch this show with me and asked me all kinds of questions about the lore and prefaced it by telling me "keep it tame and dont nerd out on me too much, please". And as someone who doesnt play any video games, she thoroughly enjoyed this show and can't wait for season 2.
I wish Matthew Perry could see the series. He could of played this himself
I didn't even think about that. He could have benny would be looking old now, too. It would have fit.
@Vagrant_Mugen have
Chems Addict #1
I doubt he even remembered doing that role
@Jdjdjdujakzgsha what are you talking about? You do know he got the role because he was such a big fallout 3 fan that he begged to be in New vegas. Do a little research before opening your mouth
One thing I hated was how Ghoul knows the power armor's weakness in the last episode, but when he was fighting Maximus he shot at him endlessly
the writing was very weak
I don't think the Ghoul was using the same bullets at the Observatory as he was at Filly. The bullets at Filly looked like nukes, and the one he used to kill the BoS members looked sharp. There's reason to believe the nuke bullets wouldn't have worked against Maximus.
I mean I'm pretty sure the goul was toying with maximus after realising that he wasn't competent with the armour. He knows how to use it from the war and he was making quips about him missing basic training. Then he delt with him by cutting walhat looked like 1 cable. Plus I recon max has near max luck.
Doesn’t that specific weakspot required a certain type of ammo?
I doubt the ghoul would get his hands on that ammo so early in his journey.
Well it's probably because he wasn't expecting a BOS in power armor to fly in, if he had known he would've likely done so. Besides, The Ghoul probably knew that there was going to be BOS Knights at the observatory so that's why he used the special bullets, as he knows what their weaknesses are.
the use of the VATS system was so fucking awesome. Such a great detail.
This series was so fucking good
right every character is a bumbling fucking moron and everything is created for a stupid fucking joke and the entire story has more holes than swiss cheese but VAULT BOY OOOOO
Watching the Fallout tv show makes me wish for The Act Man to review Fallout 3 & 4, sense he reviewed New Vegas.
Both not bad but garbage in comparison
@@ThisismyRUclipsAccount-oz7qi Sounds like rose-tinted nostalgia glasses. FNV might have been great for its time, but its so buggy and busted that it's not even playable. FO4 is a great game, and is not garbage in any comparison. Not saying it's better. But calling it garbage in comparison while the thing you're comparing it to is such a shit heap of bugs and frustrating usability that it feels super disingenuous.
He should do 1 and 2 those games slap when you learn it.
@simracing4simpletons978 I'm not saying it's bad but it's bad as a Fallout game. Stripped of all RPG elements in favor of mass appeal to the lowest common denominator of consumers. Turned it into a shooting gallery looter shooter, removed any depth of dialogue and severely lacks creative writing. Okay game, bad RPG. Fallout is supposed to be an RPG. If they want to make a game in this universe about shooting, then okay, but it would only make sense as a spin off and not a mainline entry. Fallout 4 tries to be something it isnt and it falls flat. That's my opinion.
@@DylanjrvsI wonder if he could manage it, BG3 is the only CRPG he's ever played as far as I know. Both those games are fantastic and I love them.
Reason why there's no laser weapons is because nobody has leveled up enough for the level list to spawn people with them
There actually is a laser weapon in the show, though I only noticed one. Lee wields a laser pistol during the final episode, though I don't believe it ever shows her firing it.
@@lazypayday4476some guards on her camp had laser rifles too, and at the philly episode you can see a modified laser musket, a laser rifle, and a plasma gun on the wall hangers in the background of the old lady's shop.
My Fallout journey began when Fallout 4 dropped years ago. I've been playing ever since. As a semi-noob to Fallout, I loved the show! This was a great breakdown.
Ok, the Helldivers bit when he said "Democracy" got me 😂
Something I really appreciate of the show is the visual storytelling of corpses and environments that's actually very similar to what the games do. I loved it.
Fallout 76 has had more people playing it on steam than war thunder this week.. let that sink in.
Now my living room is wet >:(
Im not letting the sink in
Totally agree with your take that exposition is almost seamless, I have never played Fallout but know what it is and this is the unspoken gold of the show and why the actors did such a good job
Most of the people who don’t like the show are the people who made up their mind that its a bad show before it even came out
Most of them haven't even seen it. I was worried at first since I've heard other Amazon shows were terrible. The show is better than I thought.
@@hermos3602The huge flaw in the show is that there are not enough mutated monsters and animals. That is an important part why it is hard to live in the wastelands. The games always keep you on your toes from running into a nest of mutated creatures.
Most of the people who hate the show actually love Fallout and hate how they ruin the original games with it.
@@Lunartic_ how did the show ruin the original games? I have over 1200 hours on New Vegas and I thought the show was great.
It also took place 219 years after the bombs fell, that means 2296, after all the games.
@@TheWizard-zc1tv It retcons canon all around. It taking place after the games doesn't change it and makes for impossible scenarios like NCR somehow is completely gone even though they're the biggest faction in the west.
Yes, I can confirm that THAT last shot from the last episode had me rolling on my bed like crazy and had me crying literal tears of joy and excitement. I can wait for S2!!!
Soy boy.

Hunting down khaled al asad is making me wonder when acting male man is gonna do a “why is cod 4 modern warfare so awesome” video
A group of friends and I watched the full season together yesterday and we were blown away by how engaging the show was even for those who hadn't played any if the games, and just overall by what a great show it was. Now the eait begins for season 2, during I'll most definitely be starting a new FO4 playthrough.
One Thing I thought about the Show (wich someone else also posted on Reddit) was that Maximus´s Chapter of the BoS has a lot of people with Latin Names and the Flags at their Airstrip-HQ where Yellow on Red made me think that they might fused with some Remnants of the Legion (wich falls apart after Caesars Death) wich is also why the Elder at the End wishes to split and "make a new Brotherhood". my Guess is that he is an old Legionaire who basically wants to revive the very same
That is actually an interesting idea imo.
Man, I really hope this opens the gate for a good BioShock adaptation
There’s a movie in pre production at Netflix. 🤞🤞
Wasn't Ken Levine originally in film before he worked on video games? Even if he wasn't he should be a producer at the very least.
@@Russelshackleford Netflix? Noooo. Not after what they did to The Witcher. Anything but Netflix.
@@landfillao4193 What about One Piece?
@@af6462 can't say. Haven't watched the show or the source material.
My biggest issue with the show is how they completely sweep the ncr under the rug. There is zero way that the ncr gets destroyed from ONE city being eradicated. Completely bullshit.
Other than that the show has been really good. Feels like fallout.
Favorite clip from the show:
When Lucy is talking to a stranger casually while pointing a gun at them.
Most player thing I have ever seen 😂
Don't forget Castlevania, absolutely a god tier adaptation.
Sucks that everyone forgets that show.
Except for that brother and sister scene with Alucard later
I just wish the show was atleast a bit historical more accurate. Catholic church in wallachia??? Seriously???? As someone from the balkans it does bother me. And the lack of ottomans to like did they forget a invasion happened during this time period? They also could introduce isaac like he was some kind of ottoman commander or general.
@@tomgu2285 In the shows defense, if you view it as an alternate history which Castlevania might as well be, it wouldn't fall out of the realms of possibility that there would be inaccurate historical stuff, but I understand that it is annoying when they can't get all the facts right, lol.
Yea Castlevania is least mentioned when it's up there w/ Edgerunners and Arcane. I appreciate fallout for being a gameplay driven no cutscene RPG w/o a main established character founded w/ a fanbase that heavily relies solemnly on world building.
The story and characters are great but what I really appreciate is the show recognizing this series is based on a game by cleverly integrating mechanics like perks to introduce characters.
Diesel in the wild?
What if the Mysterious Stranger shows up?
@@thegreatbaguette1161 Omg plz
Wrong
Woah, for a second I thought Dieselpatches was gonna complain about the main character being a woman or something. Bravo on the restraint 👏👏
wouldn't be a good adaptation without the vault dweller searching for their parent/child
Only played Fallout1 and 2 and liked the fan service stuff. But my Wife knew nothing about Fallout and still liked everything and never thought she was left out or missing the context. Really well done and balanced between fanfiction and just pure good content.
As a NV fanboi that ending hit me like a tonne of bricks, but I understand the circumstances that led to it.
NV talks constantly about how the NCR is corrupt as hell with the water and brahmin barons like Hank Gunderson.
“When the barons become more powerful than the sheriff, the whole town burns.” -The Ghoul
That wouldn't lead to the destruction of the NCR.
yeah i didn’t like what happened to shady sands neither, but i do think that probably there are some ncr remnants, when the brotherhood of steel arrive you can see some people waving around ncr flags on the battlefield.
we’ll see though
The NCR is out of new vegas, and california has a whole, but they still exist but unorganized, like the enclave was
also, after the lonesome road dlc, it was kinda expected that new vegas would fall
That's not really how a decline much less a collapse happens. It's beyond apparent that Bethesda doesn't like being bound by the old lore. If you like the show, cool, but you should be honest about what it is, a soft reboot.
My friend doesn't play video games and doesn't really know Fallout, but she absolutely loves the show. Just shows you what competent writers can do with a video game adaptation.
You mean incompetent writer's.
Most of the people that like this show know jackshit about the games.
@@Maverick9k Your the type of fan that loved Halo Series then
@cjpert5286 that doesn't make any sense, why would I like that garbage?
@@Maverick9kyer that's a load of bs you gonna tell juice head and Mr Matty plays and actman they don't know anything about fallout 😂 cause they all like it and they probably know more then both you and me
@xUseTheForks I am, just because they're content creators, doesn't mean they know everything.
The writing for this show was bad, the lore inconsistency is bad.
A very good detail that most other adaptations would have misused or dropped the ball on, when Lucy sees the mutations of the citizens in a the other Vault she visits and she’s rightfully weirded out like the audience would be, but Maximus wasn’t even phased.
“Lots of people have one eye.”
It makes sense the more you think about it
Something I didn't notice till someone pointed it out but made me smile when it hit me that they were right, in the 8:52 fight, Howard eats food to heal himself.
Nice checkered suit jacket Act Man,
What in the goddamn.
