What are everyone's thoughts on the Amazon series?
My kids and I watched the first two episodes last night, and I'm impressed. It feels like Fallout. I like the characters so far, and they squeeze in enough game references to keep my brain spiking with recognition.
We set the bar pretty low on video game adaptations, but I feel this one's doing alright so far!
What does everyone else think? (Let's keep spoilers to a minimum. Most of us probably weren't able to watch the whole thing in one night.)
I’ve been a Fallout super fan since the first game dropped in 1997. I’m done with the first two episodes and happy as a clam. This adaptation is fantastic.
I had never heard of the games until I saw a combo pack that included Fallout 1 & 2, at Walmart for $10. It sounded like an interesting game, and at $10, it was worth the risk.
That random purchase honestly changed my life.
I keep going back to the wasteland every chance I get.
I got the first game used at Electronics Boutique for like $15. I was getting into computer RPGs as a kid and the scifi setting made this seem unique. The box art was striking too. Like you, that purchase changed my life. I went from “yeah, I enjoy RPGs” to “This game is part of my personality now.”
I own each game and I replay either 3, 4, and New Vegas at least once a year.
I’m presently revisiting the first game, the TV series put me in the mood. First time I’ve played it in maybe 15/16 years. Stuff is still magic, even if it’s jarring to go back to how things began
I've tried to play the originals again, but between the jankiness of a game that old, the difficulty, and an overall lack of free time, I didn't get very far in either of them.
That's ok though, scratched that itch at the time!
