I (unrelatedly) finally started playing new Vegas just a few days ago. Is the show any good?
It's really freaking good somehow.
It knocked my stupid socks off... although I wasn't sure how the concept could even work
They even nailed the Fallout grotesque
I haven't watched it, but my understanding is they fucked up the NCR. Someone on rock-paper-shotgun described it as "Bethesda wants fallout to be kitschy mad max and nothing more", and that felt pretty apt. But again I haven't watched it so I'm just second hand griping.
That's pretty much it. Bethesda hand-of-gods Fallout to never develop too far, for an eternal shantytown aesthetic with super mutant orcs and Brotherhood everywhere.
Ehhh kind of? After watching it, it feels a lot more like they want to show the rebuilding of the NCR, so I wouldn't exactly say they did things to the NCR just because they wanted a more Mad Max Apocalypse style.
It's not The Wire or The Sopranoes.
It is genuinely fun and bingeable.
The show is pretty good honestly. As a pretty big fan of the franchise I'm enjoying it compared to the dumpster fire that is Halo.
