Keyser_Soze Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 If you care what IGN has to say Fallout Season 1 Review - IGN WWW.IGN.COM A bright and funny apocalypse filled with dark punchlines and bursts of ultra-violence, Fallout is among the best video game adaptations ever made.

TheLeon Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 Reviews seem pretty positive across the board. Good to know that a second season is coming as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elbobo Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 yeah Amazon has been promoting this show HEAVILY, they definitely weren't going to call it quits after just one season regardless of the reviews/viewership. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dawnguard2001 Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 Only got to watch the first episode and I really enjoyed it. They definitely nailed the look and feel of the Fallout world. I am glad they are telling their own self contained story instead of trying to tell the story of one of the games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atom631 Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 I did some work for the studio in Brooklyn where they filmed some of the show. I got to see some of the outdoor set they made. It was pretty cool. they had closed off the area by stacking cargo containers in a spiral and about 4-5 high. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greatoneshere Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 As a huge fan of the Fallout games, two episodes in this is pretty great! Not only a good show so far, but a good adaptation. It's nice that it's a canon story within the universe, but not an adaptation of any of the games. It takes place 11 years after Fallout 4 in 2296, 219 years after the bombs fell in 2077. Edit: Walton Goggins is so damn good, as usual. The slo-mo V.A.T.S. system shows up too! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brick Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 As someone who's never played the games yet, would I enjoy it? I'm guessing the answer is yes, but even moreso if I did play them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You definitely understand and enjoy the fan service and easter eggs and nods to the games, of course, but this is easily a show anyone could enjoy. As a game player you already understand everything that's going on, I imagine as a new viewer everything comes off as more of a mystery but the show plays out as if most won't know the games so it being somewhat "what is this world?" works.

Littleronin Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 I'm pretty let down. I'm 2 episodes in (trying to only watch one a night at work) and Lucy hasn't looted everything until she can't move yet. So this isn't anywhere near a legit Fallout experience. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silentbob Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 Watched the 1st episode last night and really enjoyed. I have never played the series, but have seen my younger brother play it briefly years ago. That opening sequence was great and god bless Goggins. Like the look and the weird humour we are getting and look forward to more of it hopefully tonight.

This is really the shows biggest problem, theres zero reason this show couldn't have been placed on the east coast in Bethesda's idiotic version of the wasteland instead of destroying everything built up by 1/2/NV.

Moa Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Seven eps in and I like it more than expected. I thought the trailer looked surprisingly good, the first few episodes were a little dull despite having some moments, but the actual plot of the show is shaping up to be surprisingly solid.
