the duo stumbles across tons of iconic Wasteland locations like New Vegas, a fan favourite Fallout 4 spot, Dinky the T. Rex, and one of the most mysterious cut locations from Fallout: New Vegas.
Oh no, RockPaperShotgun is using AI to write its articles aren't they. That's a shame.
It's odd, but the location of Vault 24 is the "Starlight Drive-In Theatre", which is from 4.
A human probably would have assumed it was a franchise, or just a reused name though.
not to be confused with the mojave drive in, which is where old world blues starts
starlight is where the cut vault 24 might have been had it been made into the game. pretty cool deep cut by the showrunners
That's.....weird.....i can't help but feel the show runners maybe used some AI in drawing out the story?
It's not a RockPaperShotgun article, it's PCGamer
It's rock-paper-scissors-lizard-spock, actually.
That big iron scene got me so hyped
I’m a little excited, I’ve never had a show I wanted to hate watch before. Season one could have been good, I really liked the costuming and set designs. The characters were entertaining enough as well. It was so close to being an easy 8-9/10 for me, but then after a few establishing episodes it had to start having a plot, and that plot was so stupidly bad it dragged the whole experience down to a 5-6 and retroactively embittered the entire franchise in my mind.
Yeah, the first few episodes of S1 are good but hooooly shit do they fuck with the lore real quick after that. The NCR remnants being like 12 communists was what really did it in for me. That and Hank nuking their fucking capital over his wife leaving him.
I'm not going into S2 with the intention to hate watch it, but I'm thinking it'll probably end that way.
Hard pass
u dont like new vegas?
I love New Vegas, passing on the show and anything it has to say about the game
Season 1 was way better than I ever expected it to be. Idk your reasons for disliking it, but I thought it did a good job representing the game. There's been plenty of terrible adaptations of games to movies or shows and I don't consider this one of them.
I didn't expect much and was still disappointed, didn't make it past episode 4 or 5. Production value was great, everything looked good and was a reasonable representation of the setting and aesthetics of the games, but the plot and behavior of the characters was routinely just immersion-ruiningly stupid and made no goddamn sense. I understand not everyone finds that to be as much of a deal breaker though, so it's not something I'm giving anybody else shit for enjoying, but I have no reason not to expect that their contributions to the lore will also make no sense.
I won't say these kinds of characters were inevitable, but they were inevitable from a company that wants the product to appeal to the common denominator.
Oh, you didn't finish it? Lucy's dad nuked Shady Sands because his wife left him.
Yeah, that's pretty fucking dumb
Honestly, I liked it. I didn't think I would, but it captures the spirit of the games pretty well.
The spirit & aesthetic of the games was reasonably represented, just not enough for me to like the story
Fair. I feel the same about Fallout 3 tbh.
Same and it was my first Fallout game lol, the gameplay and setting are great but the actual story is kinda dogshit, better than FO4 but that's an incredibly low bar
