Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I don't recall the BoS doing the whole 40k "sacred rites of the machine" thing. Their society was modelled on medieval monks by the writers, but their beliefs don't really match up.

Also booooo do something new with the setting you fucking cowards. Not every piece of media from a franchise needs to contain all the most famous things from that franchise.

Yes. They hoard pre-war tech, they don't religious about it. Not even in the Bethesda games are they ever religious about it.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago

True, it was more like a belief system or ritualism. Maybe a consequence of mission parameters being upheld over generations.

This is just a bastardization of Bethesda Fallout, which itself is a bastardization of FO1/FO2.

oh god they're making a fucking fallout show now? 0% chance this doesn't suck balls

Looking into it.

There are so many post apocalyptic shows I don’t understand how people don’t get tired of it. I don’t even like elder scrolls but I think television would benefit from some more fantasy that isn’t game of ass and tits (even though elder scrolls is literally a game of ass and tits)

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago

It might suck but I'm holding out hope that it manages to be good since the trailer got me.

I want my T-51b power armor

None of these clanky T-60's and T-45's

[–] [email protected] 9 points 8 months ago

i prefer the T-72, thank you very much

[–] [email protected] 7 points 8 months ago

T-51b is the best.

please be decent

how many good video game shows are there? is it just castlevania? and people kinda liked that twisted metal show?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Last of Us was good
Halo is generally pretty well received, though I felt it was sorta mid (but enjoyable enough, I guess)

this just reminded me, amazon is still doing that Disco Elysium show I believe lt-dbyf-dubois

[–] [email protected] 10 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Forgot about Last of Us, I liked it a lot

Did people like Halo? I always heard it was very uninspired

[–] [email protected] 7 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

I expected Halo to be worse tbh

I don't think I finished the first season but I watched more than half of it, which I did not think I would do going into it.

The interactivity is what set Fallout apart from the Sci fi it aped from in the first place, if it's not a game it's just what if mad max was also the 50s

I thought the Twisted Metal adaption was great. Silly but fun.

Last of Us was good but that game was basically a movie.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Last of us is great because now I don't need to play the game again to experience the story. But knowing the head creative for the game and show is a zionist really fucks me up from ever enjoying that stuff ever again though.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

I havent watched S1 yet but fully intend to jump into the show when Calypso and the tournament become a thing. Heard really good things, surprisingly

[–] [email protected] 13 points 8 months ago (2 children)

I hope it doesn't suck, or at least that it attracts more people to play FNV

[–] [email protected] 22 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Bethesda seems to like making money off of New Vegas, but they're still very much sore about people liking it more than 3 and 4

[–] [email protected] 21 points 8 months ago (1 children)

They only had to hire non-brain-dead writers, the cheapest thing when making a fucking game, and yet

[–] [email protected] 19 points 8 months ago (2 children)

they planned to have voiced protagonist in starfield despite everyone hating that in 4 because the not-todd howard dipshit "doesn't listen to criticism"

imagine that game being worse

Protagonist: "This is just like playing The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim at Gex's house"

This show is going to be awful

We'll see...

Is that a priest with a censer? Are they making the Brotherhood be religious fanatics?

Me bearing witness to Oblivion with Guns: Look what they did to my beloved franchise. It can't possibly get worse.

Looks pretty cool, I wonder how the religious BoS angle will work out

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

same, it does look pretty good
