So, like the title says, I am 1 episode in. I have played 3,4, and new Vegas. So I know the lore and design and overall gameplay. With all that said, I don't see any reason this show is below a 9 after 1 episode. Yeah we got box checking roles and yeah we got unnecessary sex and yeah we got a character that doesn't make sense in regards to the game. But other than that, it all looks great. Between the nuka cola machine and the sugar bombs to grognak and pipboys, I'm liking it. Even a raider shot jet (or was it psycho?) in this episode. That's about as close as you can get showing a character shoot drugs from the game onscreen. Nonstop homage to the games.
Yes, like I menationed earlier, the above ones I mentioned are lows for the show. And yes I see others say the steel armor looks fake. I agree in a way. But I need to see it used in combat and how it's portrayed before I make a decision. It looks pretty close to fallout 4s armor. I seen someone mention new Vegas. Not seeing anything like that here. Actually the NCR and the Legion would be great to have on a big screen, sprinkling in BoS and enclave(there's a Easter egg in the game) I just don't get the low reviews from so called "gamers" of this. Unless it completely changes, I think it's ok. Give me a deathclaw and a mirelurk and some energy weapons and ok. Throw in some radiation and boomskies.
*1st edit. Starting episode 4. I'm not sure what creature that was in 3 but it wasn't anything like a mirelurk unless it was a mirelurk king. Maybe a made up one. Not sure. No idea how it died either. Maybe the human was poison? Idk I'm dropping a point for that and no weapons being used really. Where was the laser gun and that giant rifle squire was given in the bag?
2nd edit- 2 episodes left for season 1 and we get an NCR power armor spotting. So this is supposedly somewhat in new Vegas territory. Cool. No change in rating.
Final edit- so the "mirelurk" I called it is an enemy from fallout 76 called a grouper (I think). Ahh. Started that game couple weeks ago and haven't made it that far to kill one yet. Season 1 is basically an intro to the fallout game series, which I don't mind. It's good to get the non game players caught up on the design and plot. The problem with this is there's little action and little enemies/characters we see. We get a lot of fallout lore between nuka cola, robco, dogmeat, etc... but very few enemies. Maybe saving the budget for season 2? Idk but we need ghouls, super mutants, raiders, rad scorpions etc... we got none of that in season 1 and those enemies are in all the games. Staples. Least the recent platform ones. 8 is a valid rating.
