I fired up fallout 1 after watching it.
I (unrelatedly) finally started playing new Vegas just a few days ago. Is the show any good?
It’s really freaking good somehow.
It knocked my stupid socks off… although I wasn’t sure how the concept could even work
It’s surprisingly good. Two of the leads are really good. The other one gets better as the show goes on. The prop and stage design is as close to 1:1 that you can get, which is impressive.
It kinda fizzles out at the end, but the journey is a lot of fun. Definitely recommend it.
Out of curiosity, which one do you think gets better?
Max. I couldn’t stand him the entire first half of the season. Lucy and especially Goggins were great throughout.
Agreed on all counts. Last episode was the weakest, in my opinion, but overall is a very good show.
I haven’t watched it, but my understanding is they fucked up the NCR. Someone on rock-paper-shotgun described it as “Bethesda wants fallout to be kitschy mad max and nothing more”, and that felt pretty apt. But again I haven’t watched it so I’m just second hand griping.
Ehhh kind of? After watching it, it feels a lot more like they want to show the rebuilding of the NCR, so I wouldn’t exactly say they did things to the NCR just because they wanted a more Mad Max Apocalypse style.
That’s pretty much it. Bethesda hand-of-gods Fallout to never develop too far, for an eternal shantytown aesthetic with super mutant orcs and Brotherhood everywhere.
It helps that it’s dirt cheap right now. It’s only $5 on Steam.
I was going to make a remark about the price of dirt, then I remembered buying non-clay soil for the garden. In retrospect, it’s cheaper than dirt.
But if it were in DVD format, a 40Lb bag of fallout disks would cost like around $5,517 at that rate.
FALLOUT 4 IS FAR FROM THE GREATEST FALLOUT.
I think most people agree Fallout 3 or Fallout New Vegas or that fancy blend of both, take the top spots.
Don’t you need a patch for have the good ending with f3 ?
You just need the Broken Steel DLC. Buying Fallout 3 nowadays usually includes all the DLC for cheap
Idk. I’ve never played 3. I started on NV
Good, reward the company when they actually make a good thing and maybe other companies will finally start to listen.
We don’t want adaptations from people who hate the source material. We want adaptations from people who love it.
If Bethesda/MS made a new game, or at least a remake to launch next to the show, they would be making bank right now. Instead they are barely seeing any money from ~5 dollar downloads of a 6 years old game. Lacking strategy/foresight like this is the reason while Sony is eating their lunch in the console game market.
So, Bethesda is making money for doing nothing rather than investing millions of dollars and years of development. Hmmm…
Okay it’s finally entering my “cheap enough to be interested” range. Which version is the best for mods?
PC. The console versions only support mods from bethesda.net, and are far more limited in mod scope and availability. PC has access to Nexus and other sites for mods, and there are tons to choose from. Mod managers make modding your game pretty straightforward as well.
Do you know if there’s a difference between gog and steam versions and all that?
GOG is DRM-free, so it’s the better option. They’re otherwise identical.
On USA Steam, the GOTY edition is $9.99, with all the DLC. The Season Pass, which is just the DLC, is like $12.49… So I bought the GOTY edition & threw away a copy of Fallout 4.
Send it to me.
The playstation dtore has the game for 10 and goty for 40
They didn’t give me an extra. Just told me I already had a part of the bundle & would not be given an extra copy.
In that case steam discounts the product, no?
Nah, it was the full $9.99
