Fallout series

Chems was a term that dates all the way back to Fallout 1 since European countries weren't keen on seeing drug use glorified in videogames(neither were they happy with seeing kids being blown to bits, so to this day EU copies of Fallout 1 and 2 have kids scrubbed from them without a patch). Bethesda simply inherited and kept the term as one of the franchise's catchphrases.
Addictions were also originally called "cravings" to get around the same EU mandated censorship, however that's not something that translated over into 3D Fallouts.
I’d imagine that the European versions of the show will have Chems though, this is the first time that a fallout only has a couple of hours of dialogue instead of an entire game full so Michael J Fox can go nuts cutting things out left and right.
 
They should have went with Elder Scrolls

You could have had the same scene, except it's some skinny asian dragonborn lady calling some stormcloak a racist for hassling a dark elf before a redguard companion comes in to save her.

Edit: Wait, no. It wouldn't take place in Skyrim it'd probably take place in Morrowind. Same scene though, but instead of a Companion it's just a Fighters Guild member.
 
Seeing how the show looks and knowing the amount of hack nepotism behind it makes me wish more we got the Fallout Movie that was set to be based on Fallout 1 :( At least that was going to be created by the original developers behind the games.
They said it would have been boring, and they were right. If I recall correctly, it would be an "experimental" artsy movie about people in the vault doing fuck all. This is going to be even worse, this is going to be generic slop to outsiders and an outright insult to the fans.
Watching somebody play Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel on youtube is going to be better than this shit, at least that story has at least one good pair of tits in it.
 
You are correct if it’s triangle city because that guy really likes that game, or at least talks about it a lot.
Many a True Nerd and the late Mitten Squad also have a good video on the game. Hell, Fallout Frontier is going to be a better Fallout movie than this one, as schlocky and cringy it is at times. The 4 Friends Play videos on it are pure kino.

As a hypothetical, who would you guys pick to direct a fallout movie?
Paul Anderson. He did Event Horizon, Alien vs Predator, and a bunch of video game movies including the first Mortal Kombat. With a good script he would probably be the best candidate for a movie. But Fallout would probably be better with the HBO teams that did stuff like Chernobyl, Game of Thrones, or Boardwalk Empire so that everything looks detailed and realistic and not cheap like Amazon and Netflix shows always do.

Any idea on why Amazon shows seem to look cheap and shitty, even with their inflated budgets?? I’m in awe of how much money they have to squander and no amount of it goes towards making their shows look decent.

That’s just the fallout style now. I don’t know if it’s the chicken or the egg but if you ever bought one of their products everything is cheap and shitty. Fallout 4 felt like the game was designed to make products (that aren’t for the game just regular old products) that would be sellable to people.

I think they meant Amazon shows in general, sir. Like Rings of Power.
 
MCU "so that just happened" dialogue has ruined a generation of scriptwriters.
I feel like Bethesda Fallout titles suffered from this problem in general. The creators of these didn’t understand that even if Fallout 1 and 2 had humor, it was balanced by its apocalyptic, disturbing atmosphere. People nowadays can’t seem to write comedy whilst establishing an immersive atmosphere. It’s a cop-out for lack of creativity.

No one because shows/movies based on games are always fucking shit. Whether they're based on a specific title or just based within the universe while telling its own story. Unless you got some mega sperg writers, directors and actors(literally will never happen), it'll always devolve into fanfic with a recognizable IP as a skin.

Except for Van Damne Street Fighter, Paul WS's Mortal Kombat, first Jolie Tomb Raider, 2007 Hitman, Uwe Boll's Postal and the Angry Birds movies. They're the only movies based on video games that surprisingly worked. Every other vidya movie is dogshit
 
if you watch this shit show only to sperg on twitter you are a fucking retard. just ignore and add another mod and do another new vegas run
It can't be said enough

Hate Consumerism is the lamest shit. Nothing says "I have no life" than people who have such little respect for their time that they watch/play/listen to stuff they don't enjoy at all just to get on the internet and bitch about it.

On top of that, these streaming shows seemingly thrive off engagement more than views, so you're still helping them in the end.

This.

Hate-watching has become ubiquitous to the point where studios are deliberately inserting stuff into their films and shows that they know will provoke a reaction so that they can generate revenue from such outrage. Disney has nailed this to a T. It’s insidious and stupid.

As fun as it is to bitch about the crappy-looking trailer, there’s no way I’m giving viewership and ad money to Amazon for it. It’s not worth my time and the clowns behind the project have already established it’s not made for people like me.

Doesn’t mean I won’t be here when the salt comes pouring in tho :popcorn:
