Whenever someone wants to ban something, you know there’s probably something worth learning about inside. I don’t care if it’s Russia, America, Christians, anyone.

plactagonic,

I also think that this may be more of unintentional advertising for NCD community.

Who gives a fuck what Russia wants. Don’t negotiate with nazis

I'd not heard of this game but it looks to be pretty good ( https://store.steampowered.com/app/1469610/Last_Train_Home/ ) and if Russia disapproves that's generally a good sign.

Not just for the joy of pissing Russia off more, but I’d recommend the game for fans of tactical strategy games. The overall story arc is pretty interesting too, especially when you remember that it is based on a true story.

The pacing of Maximus part is so boring. I am honestly hoping it gets better.

@hydroptic Maximus did nothing wrong 😆

..or everything. It really depends on the point of view I guess 🤔

hydroptic,

Weeelll, not everything, but not nothing either 😁

Only on first episode but also very pleasantly surprised. I expect very little from Amazon and often think of cancelling it but I’m only paying about $4.00 a month so don’t end up bothering. This month I’m getting my money’s worth.

It’s weird to me how no one is talking about how it has a strong and blatant anti-capitalist message. Without getting into spoilers, the ending really drives it home. I’m surprised right-wing dickheads aren’t screeching about it.

hydroptic,

Right-wing dickheads definitely are screeching about the show being “woke”, though

@hydroptic @darkphotonstudio time for a refill of the tears mug 🤷

Ew, don’t reich-wing tears taste bitter?

Growing some bittercups?

Some good references too, like that poster on the wall in episode 5, 'a man and his dog ',

Todd produced something that’s actually good‽
Probably a mandatory credit thing, he is too busy fixing Starfield

Midnitte,

They also reference it during Cooper’s party and he mentions that they used his actual dog for the “in universe” version of the movie.

Todd isn’t busy fixing anything. Let’s be honest.

There’s enough diehard Bethesda fans that will buy anything he shits out. Even F76 has a playerbase now.

Matte, do gaming w The Fallout show's been a pleasant surprise

why is everyone praising it? they spent it all on costumes and sets, and forgot to hire an almost decent writer. the script is terrible, it’s full of nonsensical stuff and it feels copypasted from others shows. I really disliked it, and I played all the Fallouts since the 1990’s.

PonyOfWar,

IMO the story is not really worse than the games’ writing. Fallout as a universe never really made sense. So for me, it being fun and campy is enough and just what I’d expect of a Fallout show.

hydroptic,

why is everyone praising it?

I know this may come as a shock, but people can have different opinions on things.

delitomatoes,

This is a non answer, did you like the costumes, the acting? Was the script bad the dialogue stilted or plot contrived?

hydroptic,

Should be pretty obvious that I’ve liked it, but here’s yet another shocker: nobody’s under any obligation to justify why they like something, even if you don’t.

delitomatoes,

That’s not the point, I never said if I like it or not. Your answer didn’t help the other guy Why do you like it? He said why he doesn’t. Explaining your point of view may help people enjoy the show.

Your answer is " Just because"

JayTreeman,

I’m going to jump in here. I’ve watched 3 episodes.

Some of the dialogue does feel bad, but in my experience it’s from the vault dwellers. I think it’s intentional.

Goggins playing a smooth af character delivers everything with a smooth confidence. He’s a joy to watch.

The other actors do well. The sets and costumes are great. The plot feels very paint by numbers, but that’s the era we live in.

hydroptic,

Somebody asking “why is everyone praising it?” isn’t looking for “help”

Give it time.

Good: Nice special effects, nice wardrobes, nice sets, the ludicrous violence fits right in with the universe, and particularly the performances from the actors are very good. At least visually, it looks way better and the effects look way more convincing than 3 Body Problem, to use another recent show as a comparison.

Bad: apparently the show disregards New Vegas lore (personally idk I never played it), I think the editing is super bad, the story is average.

There’s NV hinted at the next season… If they make it.

Disregarding established lore is a Bethesda specialty. Shouldn’t come as a surprise if the show does it as well.

warm, (edited ) do gaming w The Fallout show's been a pleasant surprise

While it's pretty average as far as action drama shows go, it's very easy watching! Was pleasantly surprised. I think it fails to establish a lot of things, so non-fallout fans might be a little confused sometimes. I think they could have gone a bit slower and properly introduced the wasteland, its people and its factions. Hopefully they increase the prop budget too, there's not a lot of weight to things and you see them actually bend the foam power armor in one shot.

So it’s actually good? It was looking like low budget camp from the set photos.

wintermute_oregon,

It’s decent. I enjoyed it. I think the more you’ve played the game, the more you’ll enjoy it.

From the looks of the first episode, one thing it's definitely not is low budget. It's well-crafted and probably very expensive. The sex is perfunctory and the violence is lovingly detailed at great length. There are no real surprises, good or bad, in how they've handled things.

Personally I probably would've preferred low-budget and camp, but I imagine it will succeed in achieving the goals that its producers had in mind. I will probably watch some more.

gregorum, do gaming w The Fallout show's been a pleasant surprise

Personally, I’ve found it pretty great. I’ve watched the whole thing and am going in again for another binge. The ending is great. Knowing that it’s already been greenlit for season 2 gives me a lot of hope.

It would have been really easy to fuck this show up, but they really managed to pull it off!
