I’ve only had the time to watch one episode so far. But it definitely felt like a good show adaptation. Episode one felt like a classic fallout opening.
It’s really good.
And in response to the article; no shit. I myself plan to start Fallout 1 once I’m done Pathfinder: Kingmaker. I can only handle one RPG at a time.
That Fallout 1 UI is a great example of how far we’ve come. It’s brutal.
It’s a fantastic show. My biggest complaint is a problem we’ve been seeing with a lot of shows lately: not enough episodes in a season. Almost feels like it’s just a half season really.
But when the biggest complaint is that I wanted more, that’s a good sign.
Meanwhile, asian shows dump you with 20+ episodes per season
With 15 filler episodes.
whats funny is when in the topic of japan specifically, they used to talk about the complete oppisite situation, as asian seeies lasted no more than a year back then, while thr U.S had long running shows like Friends, Fraiser, Full House and such, where a show got a lot of content
All of those shows are vastly different from something like Fallout regarding production overhead. With that said I wouldn’t mind some long running slice of life Friends or Seinfeld style show in the Fallout universe.
13 hour days for the cast and crew to do that (similar hours to star trek in the 90s)
I’m curious how the stats look for 76 vs the rest of the games. I was thinking about it this morning, and I still have no desire to play 76. I don’t want a multiplayer experience in my Fallout, and the fact that I’m not free to heavily mod the game because of that forced multiplayer experience just kills any interest I have in trying it solo.
Given the popularity of the show, I just feel like the chances of us seeing another Fallout game without an Always-Online requirement and the freedom to mod it (without paywalls or outright charging for mods) get slimmer every day. I’d be willing to put up with that decrepit engine for one more game if it meant we could get a good mod scene going for it.
I started playing 76 for the first time. I got it for free at some point.
At first, I was inundated with ads for the monthly fee thing. When I got into the game, it took me through a tutorial and then asked if I wanted to be level 2 or level 20 w/ pre-set perks selected from a few sets. I took the latter.
I was initially fairly impressed. It felt very much like Fallout 3/4/New Vegas, except that VATS didn’t pause time, IIRC. Which sucks, obviously.
I got through a few more tutorials and was setting out from my C.A.M.P. (which you place wherever you want in the shared world) and was about a mile down the road and the server disconnected. I found myself back where my CAMP was placed… But no CAMP! Someone in another instance had put their CAMP too close to that spot, so mine couldn’t go there any more and was back in my inventory.
But back up a step. I was a mile down the road, and a server blip put me back at CAMP, losing my progress.
I exited the game and uninstalled. I’m playing 4 again.

Already downloaded 1, nv, 3 and 4. Now I just need to spend a few weeks modding them and I’m good to go.
Cut it down to a few hours with Wabbajack :]
That looks interesting thanks 😁
This is the best summary I could come up with:
But when Amazon’s Fallout series showed up on Prime and absolutely nailed it, it spurred a lot of players to crack open their libraries and commence some post-apocalyptic replaying.
The game hit its all-time peak of 43,887 simultaneous players on Wednesday, April 17, according to SteamCharts, roughly one week after the Amazon series’ debut.
SteamDB, another Steam stats tracker, suggested on X (formerly Twitter) that the Fallout game series as a whole had more than doubled its concurrent player count by April 14.
It certainly helps that most of the major Fallout titles are on deep sale on Steam at the moment, including a Franchise Bundle that gives you pretty much every PC game in the series.
There are references galore to specific creatures, items, technologies, weapons, and esoterica that remind players of the great discoveries the series offers at its best.
Most of all, the show captures, for me, the tone and flavor of the series, both in its first two ultra-arch, often-bizarre CRPG outings and through the Bethesda titles that were more straightforward but offered far more spectacle, combat, and just pure space to dig around in.
The original article contains 569 words, the summary contains 188 words. Saved 67%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
The fact that everyone seems to forget Fallout:Tactics when discussing the series makes me so mad.
Its a fantastic game.
Heck yeah it is! These days the franchise is as associated with Bethesda’s entries and take on the content as is Interplay’s, leaving little room for Tactics to get its due.
Its easily one of my 5 favorite games of all time. Done at least 6 playthroughs. 2 tough guy ones.
They really should’ve been ready with a remake for Fallout 3 in time with the show launch.
Playing 76 with 4 other friends right now and none of us have played before
Well fuck me I bought 3 and 4 and all dlc for both for like $25. I’d be retarded not to lol.
