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.

[–] anaesidemus@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year 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)

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

[–] CredibleBattery@hexbear.net 9 points 1 year ago

i prefer the T-72, thank you very much

[–] RION@hexbear.net 14 points 1 year ago (3 children)

please be decent

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

[–] Budwig_v_1337hoven@hexbear.net 12 points 1 year 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

[–] RION@hexbear.net 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Forgot about Last of Us, I liked it a lot

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

[–] marx_mentat@hexbear.net 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year 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

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This show is going to be awful

[–] Pluto@hexbear.net 2 points 1 year ago

We'll see...

[–] RNAi@hexbear.net 13 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

[–] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 22 points 1 year 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

[–] RNAi@hexbear.net 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] JohnBrownNote@hexbear.net 19 points 1 year 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"

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

[–] Pluto@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago

same, it does look pretty good
