Fallout - Season 2 trailer

Do Want Give It To Me GIF
 
I saw in some stage show that had the Rockettes in fallout costumes doing a routine. Amusing intro for the show.
 
Simply the greatest live action adaptation of a game. This will reach kino levels never thought possible.
 
They are not killing their minority cast member.

Nor the (absolutely unneeded) trans character.

She/him/they/whatever the fook served absolutely no purpose whatsoever, they could have cast...whatever guy/gal of whatever ethnicity but no, they had to go there for them internet cookie points.

I mean, it's Amazon, it's not like I was expecting anything different and especially so after the trainwreck of the LOTR series, bah...
 
Really good show but the quality of that teaser was trash, what was that, a 360p fullscreen reupload?
 
Did a search for the show and found this thread. I just caught up to the latest ep from last night (#4) and am mostly loving it. I was reading complaints about S2 being a bit too goofy and not serious enough and can kinda see that but I think it's gotten better. Last nigh's ep was great. The flashback to the war, Lucy tripping out, the you know what at the end, good stuff. I'm a little confused about the Vault hierarchy with 31, 32, and 33. Kinda forgot what happened there but whatever.
 
Don't remember shit from the first season. Didn't know the second was out.

Zero dollar marketing budget? Felt like the first one was super heavily advertised.

It's difficult to pull off because that's exactly the feeling of 3, 4, and New Vegas. One minute you're running from a deathclaw or supermutant for dear life, the next minute you run into some odd person with a weird dialogue option tree, and the next minute those two might have a goofy-looking fight right in front of you.

I think they're mostly nailing it. I also think that they are showing us 3 different types of protagonist archetypes very well:
  • Lucy - First playthrough paragon/good naive player
  • The Ghoul - Second playthrough renegade player
  • Maximus - Fun/Odd build playthrough, like 1 stat-only (in his case the luck stat)
 
S2 has been slow to get started but episode 4 was great.

Really disliking the serialized format.

The Ghoul and Lucy remain the best aspects of the show.

S3 would benefit greatly from focusing soley on their escapades.
 
I didn't think I'd like the show but I have found enjoyment in it. Lucy is quite a good protag and different to the slay queen BS of stuff in recent years.

Max I find mostly whatever or boring, though it's a bit better in S2. Not sure I really like the actor.

The goofy stuff in S2, im guessing relating to Hank? I don't mind it, it seems quite normal from elements of the game. Quirky.

Steph is a psycho hottie.

Although I want to see less Overseer and Brotherhood leadership/politic stuff, I do want to see more of Lucy's brother. Think there's some potential there.

Also would like Lucy to know about Cooper sooner rather than later, fully. Feels like it's slightly dragging.

Some of the ghoul makeup is... not great.

Overall, worth a watch.

The Luck stat is very powerful by itself.
 
Is it me or is this season getting almost no buzz online.
Seems like the final season of Stranger Things took over all the TV conversations, even if it was mostly people hating on it (or at least that "coming out" scene)
 
I was hoping the ghoul might come across James Marsden as Boone when he went looking for the NCR.
I know I'm asking for too much 😊

If this season of Fallout has any big stumbles it will be the next target.

For now, the ones who are mainly watching it are the ones actually enjoying it.

how many more episodes are there this season? had not watch any of this season yet and planning on binging it all together once the season's finished.
 
Some good scenes and character moments happening this season:




It somewhat annoys me because I know Bethesda would never take the time to direct actual cutscenes for pivotal moments during quests.

Which feels odd right? This show is doing well, we've been enjoying watching it but there's no hype around it because it feels like we've all got used to negative exposure, we hear about Stranger Things, etc, because it's bad.

Because quite a few content creators found out that feeding off of negativity gets them more views. It causes a negative feedback loop that makes people think that there's nothing good worth experiencing today.

Out of all media across the world. It's mathematically ridiculous.
 
I enjoyed the last episode quite a bit now that House is more involved in the show, The Ghoul and Lucy are the main story carriers really for me, but i still don't like how the Brotherhood have been written and that's right from the 1st episode of season 1, they are just Raiders or Fiends in the show, looking forward to the next one though.
 
It's an okay show 4 eps in, but it's not more interesting than the first season. The references are there, but every faction and character introduced is kind of joke while the plot feels like it's only going to advance in the final episodes.
 
I thought that the amount of effort that was put into the set design was very impressive. I would have preferred that they focused on Lucy instead of bouncing between the three, but that's mainly because I thought it threw the pacing off. Also, I would have preferred the flashbacks be contained to one episode a season. All in all, it was enough to keep me invested and interested to see where the story was going.

I haven't seen anything of the second season yet.
 
I like season 2 a lot, the production is fantastic, it looks expensive.

But, the buzz around it is so low for season 2. I wonder how the numbers are.

My only gripe is that they have too many big storylines going, too much in the air, too many characters to follow.
 
Just started the series and man.... while I do like it and all, is it really necessary to have 5-6 different plotlines + flashbacks going on it the first episode alone? I find it real hard to keep track of everything...
 
I have seen the multi-story thread complaint a lot.

I wonder if they should pace it in a more Game of Thrones-esque way, but then they would have to improve two plotlines to do so, Norm and also Vault 33/32/31.

The other plotlines have been pretty strong and hit a good stride.
