They make a TV show out of everything nowadays, don’t they?

Creating a film or TV about a well known video game franchise is a safe bet for film companies as they don’t need to get the audience interested in a new story, just re use an old one that already has some fans who’ll just have to watch it. Probably helps the videogame publisher as well, especially if the film leaves you wanting more
Of course. It’s just unoriginal. But that’s fine. I don’t have to watch it.

I’m not so sure about it being a safe bet. There have been a few good adaptations, but in general I’m very cautious and expect the worst because there has just been so much more garbage that completely ignored everything that made the games great.
For someone who never played the fallout or the withcher games should I feel left out if the show runners ignore some of the canons of the games/source?
What? Do you mean that the shows would require prior knowledge of the source if the showrunners didn’t ignore it? Doubt it. I mean a book is a book and a game is a game and not a film or tv show, some changes are expected in the adaptation because it wouldn’t work otherwise. But there’s a difference to just ignoring stuff, can still make it low barrier for people who don’t know the source.

Now that’s a good client! I’ll see what happens. If I get getting questions about “why are you doing this” and “how are you doing this?”, I’ll just go back to the spoiler and people using broken clients can block me if they like.
I felt the same way, then I saw glowing reviewed, watched a few episodes and it’s good. I didn’t have to be. I didn’t expect it to be. Yet so far it is.
Never played the fallout games except for brotherhood of steel. I don’t really know the story. wether they stay true to the game or not is not a big deal to me just like the Witcher.
It’s an open world game series with 4 games. It’s been so long since I played them, I barely remember what happened and where it’s canon or not. So, I’m practically in the same boat 🙂
I loved this game. I grinded for hours and got tons of cash and nice equipment then I reached the point in the game where I think you can finally ride a horse and stopped playing. I should pick this up again. I think I got my save game backed up somewhere, but at this point I’d probably want to start again because I forgot much of the story Lol
Just finished the first episode and I’m excited. Wife wanted to stop for the evening so I’ll have to wait until tomorrow but man I can’t wait to watch more this weekend. I especially liked the Brotherhood of Steal scene.
100% this has been my last two years in gaming. Xcom, Warcraft I and II, Outpost 2, Stars!, Cave Story, Sim Tower/Sim City, Darklight Conflict and now working through Chrono Trigger
I still frequently play the newer xcom 1-2. I really want to play the originals, but I feel like I need to read some guide of the basics, since it’s not very clear. I assume back in the day there must have been a manual or something to reference.
Its not just Fallout, I feel like shows in general are a lot more gory now. I enjoy fantasy and sci-fi stories and I love the games, but I also have had to be revived with smelling salts when I saw an incision IRL. I just wish I had a setting to not have to see that boot scene in 4k.
Silly, over the top gore is a core part of Fallout. Every game after two has a perk called “Bloody Mess” that increases the chance of enemies just turning into a pile of flesh when killed
Yes, but the trait Bloody Mess literally was in the first games, it was just translated into a Perk for 3 when they got rid of traits. It isn’t a reference to 1 and 2 being gorey, it’s a literal named continuation of the Bloody Mess trait in perk form.
As far as I recall there is no dismemberment on crit without flavor text or special weapon on 3+ unless you had bloody mess, on f1-2 is was a lower chance than with the trait but still possible.
But again my point is that its always been gorey more so if you make the correct choices.
I just think it’s a bit silly to say that, it’s like saying Stimpaks are a reference to Fallout 1 and 2 having health points, and not a literal carryover from 1 and 2.
Gore in games always bothers me less, it feels more cartoony. I’m not asking for them to take it out, but I would like a “for babies” mode that blurs it. I felt a little sick to my stomach at a few points.
I also only had time for one episode so far but I dug it. Felt like they really nailed the vibe. I am loving our three main characters too.
I’m not a huge fan of gore but the violence here felt on par with the game and a little bit slapstick in a way that for me made it less gross and more silly.
The devs recently posted pictures of their visits to medieval castles in the area that the first game takes place. Henry’s actor was also spotted in Prague a couple of days ago. It’s pretty safe to say that it’s going to be a sequel of some sort.
I used to work in a small shop based in one of the towers of the Charles Bridge and one day where were some people checking the insides. I didn’t get to talk to them, but they were doing some preliminary research for a computer game. Back then I figured it’s either Kingdom Come 2 or an Assassin’s Creed.
It was years ago, but these games can have a monstrously long development cycle.
I am currently playing TOME4 on a 64GB machine with NVIDIA RTX A2000 GPU. Although technically this is more like uni for me not childhood, I could probably play this game on a calculator.
It’s cursed, it has all of the wierd Bethesda East Coast lore, tone, atmosphere, writing, and style, but on the West Coast, and does the West Coast factions dirty.
It also canonized some absolute bullshit, but this isn’t a spoiler thread, is it?
