I was pretty nervous about the show, but it far exceeded my expectations. It did a great job staying mostly true to the FO universe, and striking a balance between the serious, dark humor, and absurd tones of the games.
Hopefully we get another Fallout game sometime this decade.
I’ve been really considering giving FO76 a try. I’ve been stockpiling resources from GamePass rewards, and the lore seems pretty cool. I like the idea of playing a fallout game that’s set so soon after the bombs drop.
Same here, actually installed it the other day having never played fo76...
it played like shit (<15fps) with barely any hardware usage (GPU doing nothing, 14% CPU utilization) . Found out it needs to be played in full screen mode (on AMD cards at least) to actually utilize GPU, confirmed that was the issue and uninstalled it.
But the game is apparently good if you can get it to work or look past some dumb shit like this.
Steam just had a free weekend so I've been playing it. I like it a lot and I do think it's worth playing, but it's definitely a clunky console port, the added latency of forced multiplayer doesn't do it any favors, and the amount of QoL locked behind microtransactions or a $13/month subscription just feels bad.
I was very pleasantly surprised. The characters were likeable, the setting very well done and it mostly struck a good balance between the silliness of the FO universe and still staying more or less believable. Loved Matt Berry's cameo especially.
The ending was a bit predictable and melodramatic which felt like it went against the grain of the rest of the show, but overall really well done. Looking forward to season 2.
