Fuck yeah I didnt know they were doing a full drop. I know thats traditionally their release plan but I figured they may have put enough money into Fallout to do a weekly drop.

This isn't the first time they have dropped all of a season on one day and it doesn't have to be a bad thing. They dropped all of season one of the boys in day one after all. Only gave it a weekly schedule with later seasons. Same thing with Reacher. So this isn't necessarily a bad sign. If it's renews any later season will have a weekly release.

Yeah thats their standard. Season 2 then becomes a 3 episode drop then weekly. Invincible was weekly for season 2 with a break inbetween though so they change it up sometimes.

Thats...weird. Doesnt Amazon usually do 1 per week? Is this confidence on the series or the contrary? Or that the main demographic are inpatient gamers?

Bethesda's plots are never that good. At least not for the last couple decades. Especially not their fallout games.

They are very fun games, with great moments and some good lore and side quests but the main stories tend to never be that good.

Years ago when I was at my most disenchanted with Fallout 3's overall writing, I still thought in the back of my mind that the game's handful of standout sidequests would make for a good episodic adventure show. And now here we are. It just depends on how much sway Bethesda has over the actual show writers (hopefully not much), and whether they'll emphasize more of the 'side quest' episodic stuff (yay!) or attempt to focus on the larger narrative (boo!). They've got a great contemporary blueprint in the form of The Mandalorian, which incidentally shines when it's doing cool self-contained eps and falters when it shifts focus to the larger narrative.

And I doubt Obsidian was let anywhere near the series. All indication makes this series look closer to Fallout three and four and nothing like the first two of new Vegas.

I got confused and didn't notice he said obsidian.

I saw someone say they were worried that moving up the release date meant Amazon was trying to get ahead of reviews but the early ones are great. IGN gave it a 9/10.

93% on Rotten Tomatoes

I swear the IMDB page had Mr. House listed for one episode a few weeks ago, but when I went back to check recently I couldn't find him listed.

IIRC the show takes place after the events of the 4th game, so House is likely dead

Unless they went with his route as being the canon one.

I still want to temper my expectations but damn I'm hopeful. Fallout is one of my favorite series though I never played 1 and 2.

Rotten Tomatoes means nothing for television. A show has to be super shitty for someone to watch the first 3 episodes and go this sucks.

I was interested just because it's Fallout. But I was excited when I saw they have Walton Goggins in it. He's fantastic.

I watched up through Episode 3 this morning, surprisingly better than I expected, though my expectations were pretty low lol. Acting is good, cinematography tends to be pretty good though I've noticed some jarring/weird cuts and edits here and there.

I'm not a hardcore Fallout fan, have only played through 3, NV, 4 and a little of 76. I feel like there are some cool aspects of the games in there. A lot of the subtle-ish gaming commentary is generic to video games in general, not necessarily Fallout specifically.

There are some really dumb plot points in it though which ruins a little bit of it. Characters and moments that are just way too perfect and convenient. And some things (like that Enclave laboratory) felt really fucking out of place.

I want to finish it but it does feel like it slowed down a bit by the end of episode 3.
