I haven't seen it yet, but I was really hopeful with how good the sets and costumes looked.

*sigh*
The sets, costumes and visual effects look great(except Power Armor).

But if you like Fallout: New Vegas I just don't recommend the show at all. I don't think I can play it again without thinking everything I do in that game is meaningless. I think if I do another replay of it I'll do an NCR route playthrough. They deserve it after what I just watched.

First episode legitimately wasn't bad or terrible or anything. Suspicious amount of black people for a retrofuture technobabble 50's universe but as if that wasn't going to be the case.

Ghouls look like shit, but that's been the case since Fallout4. Plot so far is kinda shit, but I'm sure it'll pick up like most shows do.

Rating 4/10.

It's nice to know I care more about the NCR than Bethesda.

Also, I was right, lol, maybe ya can stop huffing copium.

Bethesda hasn't just spat on New Vegas, they retconed it. From what I've read Shady Sands in the show was destroyed in 2277, four years before the events of New Vegas. They've pulled a Tactics on it. Not to mention that Shady Sands is now in LA for some reason, despite the fact that the original Shady Sands was not being built near any pre-war ruins or that LA already had another post-war city in the Boneyard.

Bethesda/Amazon has done what Disney did to Star Wars to the Fallout timeline. Much like Star wars has Disney Canon and Legends, Bethesda Fallout and Interplay/Obsidian Fallout have too many differences to be considered to be a part of the same universe.

So I guess it's only fair to retcon FO3-4, and keep the timeline FO1-2-NV. Woo!

Something that pisses me off about Fallout TV show, it presents the past as being idylic instead of the hyperinflation resource-restricted militarized-EVERYTHING shithole that it really was.

We're talking about a world so fucked up that showing warcrimes of power-armored soldiers executing Canadians while laughing is a positive-message for viewers.

It wasn't though, you looked at the perspective of millionaires not the common people who were struggling, Moldaver did mention that the US was going broke from hyper inflation in like Episode 6 and that's why they were heavily influenced by Vault Tech who wanted to monopolize their influence.

Get mad at the Shady Sands retcon though :p

Apparentemente, people are already complaining about the Amazon Prime show being woke. Not many reviews out yet.

Don't blame them considering rings of power.
If you consider an implied 5 second gay relationship at the end of the season finale woke then yeah but there really wasn't any other example and is just highly exaggerated hate.

Even the wealthiest people would've been feeling the hurt of such economic strain, not to mention the day-in day-out stress of knowing the nukes are going to drop any time.

Instead everyone just seems to not give a shit, despite WW3 taking place.

Uh no there's plenty of super wealthy people that didn't have issues from Sinclaire to Rober House and other such characters.

The people you see who are optimistic are either already one of the wealthiest of America or with good connections.

Literally false, the Ghoul literally spied on his wife during the Pre-War because of all the WWIII paranoia and there's several references in the news of concern.

For fuck sake dude the first episode literally has the News Anchor complain why should he report the weather if there won't be a tomorrow? Then the house wife keeps changing the channel until she finds cartoons for the birthday boy BECAUSE they are concerned about WWIII.


You're literally complaining about completely false stuff, the only thing they did wrong was the Shady Sands retcon for the date and location 🤷

I can complain about a lot more, but the fact remains they depict pre-war America as being a fine place to live in. Which is such nonsense lmao.
It was a fine place for the wealthy to live in which is factual just because you hate Bethesda related content doesn't mean you have to bend over backwards looking for something that isn't there. Critique actual valid stuff because you sound silly.

You know Obsidian wrote Dead money right?
Building a fucking casino Casino wouldn't be possible if you thought a Anchorage Veteran who is also multi millionaire being able to own a house and being well fed is lore breaking.


list actual valid complaints 🤷
