For one (I might be doing alot of these comments whenever anybody mentions this upcoming show or fallout in general I start ranting, maybe I'll rant to scoot later) thing Im worried that they arent going to go with a post post apolcyse feel like new vegas had for the core ncr regions. We know the boneyard has a freaking post war university so la shouldnt just be tin shacks after 200 freaking years! now I've seen some greenery and I'm fine with that the world heals over time I get that..but whats the west coast bos doing being so powerful again? they were on the losing side of a war! Driven to their bunkers! End of Rant 1.
@@TheChremix New Vegas is the only Fallout game I truly love. FO3 was fun and got me into the series, even though the writing isn't great. FO4 was... well... The power armor and settlement building mechanics were fun. That's the best I can say.
"The Acclaimed Video Game Creator Todd Howard" "Acclaimed" and "Creator" are really pulling a lot of weight in that sentence. (wasn't he just the director in a few of the games?!)

I feel like the story for the 1st game is the best suited for a tv show. Go get this important item we need to survive and see all the crazy fucked up stuff along the way.
@andrewdias478 this is a show, not a video game, so the story is the main thing that should matter. Borrowing story elements from the 2 worst games story wise in the series isn't a great idea.
@@kittencorp.3295 Yeah honestly missed opportunity a bit, The Ghoul/Cooper Howard would look more hot if they just integrated at least the fallout 4 scaley skin and black sclera eyes. I hope potential other ghouls look more stylized!
It can go either way honestly. The setting of the Fallout series is ripe with opportunity if the writers know what they are doing with it as we have seen with works Bethesda was less involved in. It being in the west coast is cool but there is a noticeable lack of the NCR, maybe they are saving them for the show since I have seen the flag in some leaked photos. It would be cool seeing a live action ranger
Kinda hope the show manages to integrate the feeling of adventure the games have through having stories that aren't just about the main plot and story. That's what I kinda miss from tv shows, the episodic stuff because the sidequests and characters make up Fallout to me
The problem with every show being 10-13 episodes long is that they usually do cram in a couple filler eps that no one likes. Either do the X-Files approach where the central plot doesn't have to advance every episode but the pieces in between are great and typical even more memorable, or do the Agents of Shield approach where your central focus continues to shift gradually over time with those episodic bits contributing overall. Modern shows set the stakes to high and any break in the urgency seems nonsensical. It pressures you to binge the series in one sitting and doesn't give it rewatch value.
@@KameronJ7 Yeah that's a problem with modern tv shows and their pacing. They don't allow for much of the setting and characters to warm up to the viewer. It doesn't leave much room for the characters to be taken out of their usual main story centered comfort zone. Like yeah, I love grand stories. But sometimes the stories that contribute the feeling of developmental intimacy for each fun episode until around a multi-part main story centered arc in the last episodes. *breathes* Make up the reason why I enjoy the show in the first place. Sometimes I just want to enjoy an episode that fits different tones and moments within those series. It's the reason why I hate mini series, it makes me struggle whether I'm supposed to engage the story like a linear movie or having stretched amounts of screentime for the characters and possible situations. And often it doesn't fulfill any side fully.
its just sad, it would have been so easy and cheap for them to just make an anthology series of fun 1930s-50 pulp-fiction esque stories in the Bethesda fallout world and everyone would be happy
There is a film called, "A Boy and his dog". The movie gave the original Fallout games their style. It really pulls you into the world; but it goes by so quick, leaving you wanting more. so many people liked the world they wanted to be in it; which is why it inspired one of the biggest games we know of.
There is absolutely a story to these games. Fallout 3's isn't a great example, it's known for having a rather boring and uninteresting narrative. Fallout: New Vegas would have been a lot better, but Bethesda is very butt hurt that people are still saying that a game from 10 years ago is better than anything they made. And that they had little to do with in terms of development. New Vegas is a simple revenge plot that gets overtaken by whatever quest you're playing. You're goal of revenge leads you to meeting each faction in the game, and you while trying to find revenge, you end up involving yourself in something larger. A war for who controls New Vegas and the surrounding Mojave area. It's a lot about conflicting ideologies and whether or not we disagree or agree with one or the other. If you don't agree with any of them, you can go rogue and make yourself the big boss with the help of robots. One of the DLC's could have been adapted on it's own. Dead Money is sort of heist story, you are forced into an even more hostile environment than the wasteland. And sent to look for other people stuck there and form a team to break into the Sierra Madre casino, a casino made before the bombs dropped and never opened. I personally would love to see Dead Money adapted into some way. It will never happen though. Either way as a fan, I like the way the show looks. I am worried about the writing though. Bethesda made Fallout's have extremely weak writing. And they don't really get Fallout, they think it's a retro futuristic 1950's game with dark humor. It's really a game with the futuristic vision from the 1950's and how humanity fell from that, and are now picking themselves up and rebuilding in the ruins of the old world. There's more layers to it than "Oh it's the apocalypse, but with futuristic 1950's stuff." It's not just about the '50s, that's just the stage for bigger stories to develop. But Bethesda really likes to hyper focus on that part of Fallout. They care more about the setting than stories being told within the setting.
Addendum: This new Fallout show is taking place in California, which is relatively close to where New Vegas happened. There is supposed to be a big faction that controls most of California, the New California Republic. However they are mostly absent from this trailer, save for a flag that can be seen during one shot. Bethesda have said this is supposed to be canon. If it is canon, then where tf is the NCR and why are the Brotherhood of Steel here? Bethesda really thinks that Brotherhood is the only faction in Fallout, or that's the only Faction they ever decide to focus on. I don't care if there is more than one faction in Fallout 3 or 4, the Brotherhood is the most recognizable part of Fallout, and Bethesda is milking them dry.
Fallout was not meant to be comedic, no, other than extreme black comedy. The first game had horror music all over it, but it wasn't this Psycho stuff, it was more tribal and industrial. Like imagine space music but dystopian. Over time the series got more, uh, glib, until characters were going around wearing clothing saying "nukes are really awesome and we love nukes haha boom" and the questlines are about delivering Valentine's Day greetings
3:10 honestly yes. there's several regions that the original writers were deliberately vague about so that fanfic writers and future developers could have a whole world to play with. there's also a ton of backstory from before the bombs fell that they could cover. i personally would love to see the buildup to the actual Great War. the trailer kinda hints at us seeing at least some of that through the eyes of the ghoul but even that im not expecting as much as i'd like to see. there's a whole lot of things they can cover about the United States' obsession with preventing Communism all the way to accidentally unleashing a plague on it's citizens then blaming it on China. There's the whole Red Plague and the early development of the Forced Evolutionary Virus, there's the first Mariposa Raid that leads to the creation of the Brotherhood of Steel. the original fallout bible was written while they were developing both Van Buren and in talks about developing a film adaptation that would have revealed Vault-Tec as the actual masterminds of the Great War.
Just want to give them credit for the shot with the tumbleweed 1:14 that manages to show just how out of place and green the main character is without going overboard or playing it for comedic affect. It's quick, efficient, and all done in one shot.
Oh my god guys do you get it they said it's her "Odyssey" and they've got a CYCLOPS. Such creative writing honestly. It's totally okay that they're adding a creature we haven't seen in modern fallout every because the writing is so clever! Are you guys getting this?!
I'm thinking the whole point behind this is to get a casual audience into Fallout as a franchise, then do a reboot game that can be as terrible and poorly monetized as they want.
I wouldn't chew him out for complaining, but I would love to see him play Fallout: New Vegas. Although, he's got a lot of other stuff to play and has been pretty busy so I doubt he has the time.
The fallout universe is absolutely ripe for adaptation, the issue is that bethesda popularized and cemented people's memory of the world of fallout in a very particular way. There's so much that can be done with the world but right now it has been confined to a 50s idyllic style future despite the fact everything has been set at least 100+ years after the bombs dropped, the world hasn't progressed whatsoever. The original plan was for the world to have reset to the 50's with the stunted growth of the bombs, and then advanced from there, but bethesda flanderized the 50's aesthetic to be synonymous with what fallout is and made it a sarcasic 50's ideal world. I'm not saying you couldn't have some comedy involved, but bethesda poisoned the writing, stunted the worldbuilding's progress and turned fallout into a parody of itself.
Not exactly true. While it still had the Mad Max like designs the pre nuke perma 50s aesthetic started with Fallout 2 and would have continued in Van Buren. In fact you might as well think of New Vegas as a more complete Van Buren. If you want to get into it the original writer split starts at Fallout 2, not with Bethesda. The original Mad Max art style is also at it's most apparent in Fallout 1 as a result. In lore it's not that the world reset to the 50s aesthetic it's that it never left it. Also the Fallout Bible left the future open specifically so that other writers could do what they wanted with it. Bethesda Fallout just kinda goes along with what was sort of laid out in the Fallout Bible even if they have retconned events or not doesn't necessarily reference anything in it.
All they would need to do to make it a good show is to copy paste plot and every word of dialog from Fallout 1. But, since it's Todd and his infinite wisdom they are going to make it about random crap in Fallout 4.
That's not going to work in the slightest. Something like this would work with something like the Last of Us, which itself feels like a movie/show, but an RPG like Fallout? Yeah, nah, that does not work.
The reason im excited is it looks kind of like an anthology series set in the original west coast setting of the the first 2 games and new vegas. I love to see it reference lore and add on to it like new vegas did but thats way less likely.
I'm dreading the day this comes out. Fallout is one of my favorite fictional universes and I absolutely DESPISE Bethesda for what they've to it. This will just be a continuation of that, and what's worse is that it's set in LA, a region from the games I actually care about.
New Vegas has the best story of the modern Fallout games, but that's the one Todd didn't make so he secretly hates it and would never make it his TV show.
I think it is a new story, like each game is a new story taking place around the country. It is weird the Brotherhood of Steel isn't going to be a cult. The New Cal Republic doesn't seem so prominent, it has some hmmm. Nothing has to be exact, those are some big question marks though.
I remember a a year or two ago when Adum promised not to talk about 4k and subtitles in trailers anymore. Adds tedium to videos, we get it, I agree, but how much can we beat this dead horse? Olivia, what can I do for you to not include those parts in the edit?
YMS reacts to [insert tv or film] trailer "Man I wonder if he's going to moan about 4K" [He moans about it not being in 4k] 😲 (Repeat until sun imploded)
For gen-z. First Fallout was super serious. The 50's music was to create contrast. The promising view of the future and then the brutal reality of the wasteland. If you want to quickly check the tone of the game look for the soundtrack like Vats of goo. The second game was where the creators got little bit more funny with pop references like Scientology, Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, Mad Max series and dozens of other. Bethesda games are a joke. It is a shame. Fallout would make a great Lovecraftian story with a right director. I will wait for the reviews. I don't think it will be as bad as Resident Evil from Netflix but it looks like self parody where nothing matters so viewer will have zero reasons to care about anything. Let's hope it isn't a complete disaster.
Twitch viewer comments never cease to amaze me. 3:23 a bunch of y'all pointing out that its a CGI eye, like what do you expect a real cyclops? a masterfully crafted, wearable, working, lowkey cyclops prosthetic that the actor can still see through that somehow doesn't look like shit on a normal human head? Be fucking for real, not even the special effects gods could pull that off with the greatest of budgets, let alone a singular episode character for gags.
The only thing Fallout even has going for it is the world in which everyone lives: a western-ish wasteland which a touch of high tech threats with the former military remnants and a touch of fantasy with the FEV mutants. The games are interesting because it lets players interact with that world. So the show is hamstringed at the start because it *can't* be about the audience interacting with that world. With that in mind, it *should* be vignettes centered around a series of congruent events in the wasteland, each episode from a different character's perspective.
I would have a story about how an unexploded nuke is set off suddenly, causing an investigator to look into a case and they find a conspiracy to start up an FEV lab to science science everyone's in danger. The next episode is about the mercenary who was paid to set off the bomb getting in over his head, and finds a seemingly unrelated Follower of Atom who's already set to blow up the bomb and ironically dies to the nuke he was hired to detonate. And continuing on until the surviving characters team up in the final episode to stop the big bad scientist person.
@@borkusdorkus I didn't play much of New Vegas, actually. Was more of a fan of Fallout 3. Of the new stuff, I mean. 1 and 2 were much better than anything new (story-wise). Also, not exactly sure what point you were trying to make, User YK9ZI... can I just call you Fhqwhgads? The most interesting part of *all* of the Fallout games have been the world in which they take place. Take Fallout 3... a military faction used a giant nuke-chucking robot with laser eyes to attack another military faction. The person walking next to that robot during the attack was probably the *least* interesting part. And that person was only there because they were the player character in a video game. What excuse could a TV show have for that?
Everyone whining about FO3 is jumping on a bandwagon. The story itself is very good and would make a great adaptation. New Vegas would be far harder to adapt and is frankly much more silly. The expansions to New Vegas would make great adaptations.
game 1 plot:we need a water filter game 2:? game 3: this time its a public water filter, but bad guys want to stop it game 4:pre war cryogenics get your baby stolen and you go find baby. then after that pick a faction to win
The first 5 seconds of the trailer spoiled the entire first episode. That’s literally all that happens. She’s in the bunker, she spends a huge amount of time not developing relationships in the bunker, something extremely pointless and predictable happens and it convinces her to leave the bunker, she leaves the bunker. My favorite part of the show is it’s 13 reasons why style “romance” with an obviously gay actor who cannot act for one second like he’s into girls. It’s not that he’s gay. He cannot act like he’s not the most Nelly dude on planet earth. Maximus, my dude, you need to try harder
So, if you went your entire life without running water, and suddenly promised it, but it wasn't really running water, it would be dumb to complain that you didn't get what you were promised?
It is not at all dumb to expect billion dollar studios who film their movies in 4k or higher to release a trailer that is representative of the media. It is really easy to upload in 4k its literally 1 button but they don't do it.
They missed the mark completely. People should have a 1950s attitude, and there's humor. I mean from just a clip we can't tell the humor level, but she shouldn't have a "modern" type of voice. Vault-dwellers sound and talk like 1950s "leave it to beaver" script.
I’ve seen the sentiment a lot that the fan series “Fallout: Nuka-break” was the tone people were hoping for. Then again, fans always seem to make better stuff than official media, probably cause they care more about the source material lol.
Ehhh... I mean, this is maybe true aesthetic wise, but while fan stuff might look neat, they often are actually just bad, like bad acting, cinematography, etc. I remember checking out a Star Wars fan short film series, because many people were praising it and claiming it was better than the new Disney stuff, but no, it was just terrible.
new vegas and og fans make it their entire personality to shit on the bethesda fallouts. they're just angy because those ones were actually commercially successful
@@666FallenShadow I guess having an opinion and being passionate about art you care about equals “making it your entire personality”. Need I remind you what channel you’re commenting on?
no its because they suck, they completely miss everything that was good about the originals on a fundamental level and have completely betrayed the series, you just dont like people criticising your soykaf and feel the need to project you petty anger onto people with REAL criticism@@666FallenShadow
"This should be way more comedic" "From the Studio that brought you Free 2-day Shipping" " Huh, is that the name of a movie?" No, it's a joke, literally what you were just asking for you annoying pedant.
Grandpas coming out of the woodworks missing ‘the good old days of Fallout’ - you have games like Wasteland and Pillars of Eternity (which is made by a handful of developers that worked on the OGs and New Vegas) The series wouldn’t have survived without Bethesda.
if the series hadn't survived we would have had a kickstarter revival by now instead of the garbage we currently have, based on the two examples you just gave.

Olivia please tell adum to play fallout new vegas. And if he does play it,but complains; please chew him out
I wouldn't chew him out for complaining, but I would love to see him play Fallout: New Vegas. Although, he's got a lot of other stuff to play and has been pretty busy so I doubt he has the time.
they didn't use the right power armor
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone!
The fallout universe is absolutely ripe for adaptation, the issue is that bethesda popularized and cemented people's memory of the world of fallout in a very particular way. There's so much that can be done with the world but right now it has been confined to a 50s idyllic style future despite the fact everything has been set at least 100+ years after the bombs dropped, the world hasn't progressed whatsoever. The original plan was for the world to have reset to the 50's with the stunted growth of the bombs, and then advanced from there, but bethesda flanderized the 50's aesthetic to be synonymous with what fallout is and made it a sarcasic 50's ideal world.
I'm not saying you couldn't have some comedy involved, but bethesda poisoned the writing, stunted the worldbuilding's progress and turned fallout into a parody of itself.
Not exactly true. While it still had the Mad Max like designs the pre nuke perma 50s aesthetic started with Fallout 2 and would have continued in Van Buren. In fact you might as well think of New Vegas as a more complete Van Buren. If you want to get into it the original writer split starts at Fallout 2, not with Bethesda. The original Mad Max art style is also at it's most apparent in Fallout 1 as a result. In lore it's not that the world reset to the 50s aesthetic it's that it never left it. Also the Fallout Bible left the future open specifically so that other writers could do what they wanted with it. Bethesda Fallout just kinda goes along with what was sort of laid out in the Fallout Bible even if they have retconned events or not doesn't necessarily reference anything in it.
All they would need to do to make it a good show is to copy paste plot and every word of dialog from Fallout 1.
But, since it's Todd and his infinite wisdom they are going to make it about random crap in Fallout 4.
That's not going to work in the slightest. Something like this would work with something like the Last of Us, which itself feels like a movie/show, but an RPG like Fallout? Yeah, nah, that does not work.
I just realised.
Dude on the horse is the ghoul with no nose.
The reason im excited is it looks kind of like an anthology series set in the original west coast setting of the the first 2 games and new vegas.
I love to see it reference lore and add on to it like new vegas did but thats way less likely.
Amazon is claiming that it's their filming studio and not their delivery service that provides free 2-day shipping for Amazon deliveries.
I'm dreading the day this comes out. Fallout is one of my favorite fictional universes and I absolutely DESPISE Bethesda for what they've to it. This will just be a continuation of that, and what's worse is that it's set in LA, a region from the games I actually care about.
I wonder if Adum would be into New Vegas
Olivia, as a Fallout fan, would you recommend Fallout 4 as a starting point, story wise?
No. Hell no. No no no no NO. FO4's writing is dogshit.
More like adumb, “ I played fallout 3 , expecting a good story “
Pretty sure I watched it in 4K when it first dropped
New Vegas has the best story of the modern Fallout games, but that's the one Todd didn't make so he secretly hates it and would never make it his TV show.
I think it is a new story, like each game is a new story taking place around the country. It is weird the Brotherhood of Steel isn't going to be a cult. The New Cal Republic doesn't seem so prominent, it has some hmmm. Nothing has to be exact, those are some big question marks though.
I remember a a year or two ago when Adum promised not to talk about 4k and subtitles in trailers anymore. Adds tedium to videos, we get it, I agree, but how much can we beat this dead horse?
Olivia, what can I do for you to not include those parts in the edit?
YMS reacts to [insert tv or film] trailer
"Man I wonder if he's going to moan about 4K"

For gen-z. First Fallout was super serious. The 50's music was to create contrast. The promising view of the future and then the brutal reality of the wasteland. If you want to quickly check the tone of the game look for the soundtrack like Vats of goo. The second game was where the creators got little bit more funny with pop references like Scientology, Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, Mad Max series and dozens of other. Bethesda games are a joke. It is a shame. Fallout would make a great Lovecraftian story with a right director. I will wait for the reviews. I don't think it will be as bad as Resident Evil from Netflix but it looks like self parody where nothing matters so viewer will have zero reasons to care about anything. Let's hope it isn't a complete disaster.
It will probably suck, but I'll at least get to enjoy 40+ hours of content about how it sucks.
Twitch viewer comments never cease to amaze me. 3:23 a bunch of y'all pointing out that its a CGI eye, like what do you expect a real cyclops? a masterfully crafted, wearable, working, lowkey cyclops prosthetic that the actor can still see through that somehow doesn't look like shit on a normal human head? Be fucking for real, not even the special effects gods could pull that off with the greatest of budgets, let alone a singular episode character for gags.
The only thing Fallout even has going for it is the world in which everyone lives: a western-ish wasteland which a touch of high tech threats with the former military remnants and a touch of fantasy with the FEV mutants. The games are interesting because it lets players interact with that world. So the show is hamstringed at the start because it *can't* be about the audience interacting with that world. With that in mind, it *should* be vignettes centered around a series of congruent events in the wasteland, each episode from a different character's perspective.
I would have a story about how an unexploded nuke is set off suddenly, causing an investigator to look into a case and they find a conspiracy to start up an FEV lab to science science everyone's in danger. The next episode is about the mercenary who was paid to set off the bomb getting in over his head, and finds a seemingly unrelated Follower of Atom who's already set to blow up the bomb and ironically dies to the nuke he was hired to detonate. And continuing on until the surviving characters team up in the final episode to stop the big bad scientist person.
are you aware that new vegas isnt the entirety of fallout?
@@borkusdorkus I didn't play much of New Vegas, actually. Was more of a fan of Fallout 3. Of the new stuff, I mean. 1 and 2 were much better than anything new (story-wise).
Also, not exactly sure what point you were trying to make, User YK9ZI... can I just call you Fhqwhgads? The most interesting part of *all* of the Fallout games have been the world in which they take place.
Take Fallout 3... a military faction used a giant nuke-chucking robot with laser eyes to attack another military faction. The person walking next to that robot during the attack was probably the *least* interesting part. And that person was only there because they were the player character in a video game. What excuse could a TV show have for that?
Marry Christmas!🤶🎅🎁❤️🎄
Adum needs to play New Vegas huh
If i have to listen to adum complain about 4k again....
adam never played fallout who sent him this
3:48 Honey...that aint an opinion. It's a law of nature.
I love Fallout as well, but this is upsetting.
The show takes place as a theoretical Fifth game entry, so the plot could go anywhere without breaking the lore
the lore has been broken for years
Looks good imo
Guys its Kyle McLachlan 🥺
The very concerning part of this trailer is how much it seems to be borrowing from Fallout 4, the worst Fallout game besides 76
Oh yeah, he'll definetly hate it
Adums criticisms didnt age well for this, cause it blew expectations ❤😂🤟
Adam needs to play New Vegas
imagine using a shitty cover instead of the real ink spots
they'll probably adapt bs from fallout 3 bcuz of mr. Howard
but will it be better than fnaf
Everyone whining about FO3 is jumping on a bandwagon. The story itself is very good and would make a great adaptation. New Vegas would be far harder to adapt and is frankly much more silly. The expansions to New Vegas would make great adaptations.
Everyone who has the same opinion is a bandwagon because it's not my opinion.
Pass
It doesn't look that bad.
Still not gonna watch it though
Addem try fallout new vegas, i believe you could have tuns of fun playing that one❤ peace and love from north BC🇨🇦
game 1 plot:we need a water filter
game 2:?
game 3: this time its a public water filter, but bad guys want to stop it
game 4:pre war cryogenics get your baby stolen and you go find baby. then after that pick a faction to win
The first 5 seconds of the trailer spoiled the entire first episode. That’s literally all that happens. She’s in the bunker, she spends a huge amount of time not developing relationships in the bunker, something extremely pointless and predictable happens and it convinces her to leave the bunker, she leaves the bunker. My favorite part of the show is it’s 13 reasons why style “romance” with an obviously gay actor who cannot act for one second like he’s into girls. It’s not that he’s gay. He cannot act like he’s not the most Nelly dude on planet earth. Maximus, my dude, you need to try harder
Honestly really looking foreward
The obsession with 4k is lowkey pretty dumb. Dude went his entire life without 4k and now feels the need to point out everytime it's not there.
So, if you went your entire life without running water, and suddenly promised it, but it wasn't really running water, it would be dumb to complain that you didn't get what you were promised?
It is not at all dumb to expect billion dollar studios who film their movies in 4k or higher to release a trailer that is representative of the media. It is really easy to upload in 4k its literally 1 button but they don't do it.
braindead comment
@@VagabondRetro Yeah, 4k is just like running water xD
@@GhostTrevenant Sure, but then I gotta hear about it every... single... time... ad nauseam. Pretty sure most peoples monitors can't even do 4k xD
Games don't translate well into movies because you control a game, you don't control the plot of a movie.
They missed the mark completely. People should have a 1950s attitude, and there's humor. I mean from just a clip we can't tell the humor level, but she shouldn't have a "modern" type of voice. Vault-dwellers sound and talk like 1950s "leave it to beaver" script.
I’ve seen the sentiment a lot that the fan series “Fallout: Nuka-break” was the tone people were hoping for. Then again, fans always seem to make better stuff than official media, probably cause they care more about the source material lol.
Ehhh... I mean, this is maybe true aesthetic wise, but while fan stuff might look neat, they often are actually just bad, like bad acting, cinematography, etc. I remember checking out a Star Wars fan short film series, because many people were praising it and claiming it was better than the new Disney stuff, but no, it was just terrible.
I hate when people self insert themselves into highlight clips
Is that a furry?
Wait, people don't like Fallout 3? Weird.
The hbomberguy video on the Fallout 3 does a great job of explaining why some people (such as myself) dislike it.
its pretty fucking bad
new vegas and og fans make it their entire personality to shit on the bethesda fallouts. they're just angy because those ones were actually commercially successful
@@666FallenShadow I guess having an opinion and being passionate about art you care about equals “making it your entire personality”. Need I remind you what channel you’re commenting on?
no its because they suck, they completely miss everything that was good about the originals on a fundamental level and have completely betrayed the series, you just dont like people criticising your soykaf and feel the need to project you petty anger onto people with REAL criticism@@666FallenShadow
"This should be way more comedic" "From the Studio that brought you Free 2-day Shipping" " Huh, is that the name of a movie?"
No, it's a joke, literally what you were just asking for you annoying pedant.
It was a bad joke, because a film being called "free 2-day shipping" could absolutely exist, and Amazon Studios is not Amazon Shipping. Asshole.
4:41 why are you people all fucking like this holy shit
I hope the brotherhood is still racist
I had to stop playing Fallout New Vegas because the lack of atmosphere started choking me in real life
It's a really ugly game, same as 3
Grandpas coming out of the woodworks missing ‘the good old days of Fallout’ - you have games like Wasteland and Pillars of Eternity (which is made by a handful of developers that worked on the OGs and New Vegas)
The series wouldn’t have survived without Bethesda.
if the series hadn't survived we would have had a kickstarter revival by now instead of the garbage we currently have, based on the two examples you just gave.
