Hey rope kid, Fallout New Vegas is loving awesome, warts and all. Thank you to everybody that created it. It’s literally the main reason I bought a SteamDeck.

Just to be perfectly clear, I bought a Steamdeck specifically just to play Fallout New Vegas. The fact that it can play so many other games and emulators is pure gravy to me.

A couple of takeaways watching episode 1: Cousins fooling around is totally acceptable in the vault  Social skills have deteriorated somewhat, which is to be expected. The feeling of Fallout 4 is very much here. E:: wait a minute, Vault 33 must have a door that connects directly to Vault 32? How the gently caress does that work? tango alpha delta fucked around with this message at 21:23 on Apr 11, 2024 |

I’m pretty sure the 1950s represent a time of extreme optimism and naivety, which is why is works so well against the arrogant destruction of civilization, but that could just be my opinion. Watch all 8 episodes before you decide if you like the show. I really enjoyed it.

Fair Bear Maiden posted:It's a bad show, but it's not specifically a bad show because it's a weird, bad continuation of the storyline of the West Coast, but because it's exactly the sort of take on Fallout you'd expect from the Westworld writing team, which means everything is subsumed into mystery boxes and a grand conspiracy with other character motivations and materialistic concerns being completely subordinated to that. Please actually watch the show until the end. It’s not a continuation, it’s a reimagining and a pretty good one at that.

Fair Bear Maiden posted:I did. Nothing in the ending really invalidates anything I said. Obviously you're free to have a different opinion, but I didn't state anything wrong specifically about the facts. lol, I’m pretty sure your post is what we out here in the Wasteland call an opinion, just like mine is. I binged all 8 episodes. When I do that that tells me that I really enjoyed the show.

Fair Bear Maiden posted:Okay? I didn't say nobody could enjoy the show. You specifically told me to watch to the end because I was wrong and the show wasn't a continuation but some kind of bold reimagining. It isn't. It's written clearly as a sequel to the first two games and arguably New Vegas, although based on the timeline, New Vegas also shouldn't have happened. I really enjoyed the show because it’s quite good. But it does not feel like New Vegas at all, which might be why it bothers you so much. It does however feel very very much like 3 and 4.

Fair Bear Maiden posted:It actually doesn't, Bethesda's games pride themselves on their sense of place, which is totally absent in the TV show. What remains is the iconography. lol, im starting to think you haven’t actually watched the show because it absolutely nails the Fallout 3/4 vibe.

Fair Bear Maiden posted:I don't think you understood what I meant. What I'm talking about is the sense of geographical space and of experiencing a journey. There's no sense of where places relate to each other, nor of the time and harships encountered while traveling, only a bunch of panning shots before the plot contrives another meeting between the principal cast members. Walking, or exploring is a huge part of the games but it doesn’t really translate well to a tv show. And lol at comparing it to season 8. You can actually tell what’s happening in every single shot in Fallout, unlike whatever the hell the last season of GOT was.

Fair Bear Maiden posted:I mean, we've had a very recent example of a TV show based on a videogame property that managed to convey a sense of place and journey and the passage of time quite well (The Last of Us), so I'm not persuaded that the production team simply hit the limits of the medium. Besides, if you take out Bethesda's weird storytelling instincts (Fallout the TV show's bad in a very specific way that isn't the way Bethesda is bad at telling stories, you can tell because, for example, a lot of the dialogue is competent to good) and the sense of place, what is left of their take on Fallout? Ultra-violence and some visual designs? I’m pretty certain you haven’t watched the show because the vertibird scenes coupled with the long overhead shots of characters trudging over miles of desert give a pretty amazing sense of scale of the Wasteland.

Fair Bear Maiden posted:I don't know what to tell you dude, except that I have, and that your shtick of accusing me of not having watched the show is kind of annoying, lmao. There are long shots and wide shots that show the scope of the Wasteland in the show, so I don’t understand how you couldn’t have a sense of scale. E: you also seem to be trying to engage this show like it’s The Sopranos or Breaking Bad or The Wire. Fallout is none of these shows, but it’s a really good Fallout TV show. tango alpha delta fucked around with this message at 18:34 on Apr 12, 2024 |

Grand Fromage posted:Nice. I don't think I ever had the box, just a secondhand CD. One of the very, very best games I've ever played. Even the Body of The Many, though it''s a huge pain in the rear end. To get back on topic: 1) I binged all 8 episodes in a single night because it was so good. 2) Fallout 3 and New Vegas are absolutely rock solid on my Steamdeck; I've never had a single crash even after hours of playtime; Proton is some kind of wizard magic. 3) New Vegas is my favorite.
