Here is a bit of lore on the Games/Show universe: The games and show are based in an alternate reality where after WW2 it diverged from ours. In this reality mankind didn't invent the transistor until about 100 years later so instead of going through an electronics age (60s-90s) like we did they went through an atomic age where they developed safe and reliable nuclear energy including fusion energy. There were some developments in vacuum tube electronics including some miniaturization but it never got small enough to make ICs. This is why most of the electronics in the games/show look like they are out of the 60s.
The syringes you see in the show are Stim-paks which are the game's major source of healing. This is one thing that I like in the show. It treats itself like it is the game. When you use a Stim-pak in the game, it heals every thing instantly. Even broken bones. Thus, when you see the Ghoul use it on the dog who is on on death's doorstep, the dog instantly gets up and is 100% healed.
I haven't played any Fallout but i immediately thought it's supposed to be like that, a videogame reference (that can be applied to most games) that instantly heals you 😂 it's nice they put it there, gamers in general can relate 😆
One of the upsides of the game’s alternate history future is that it’s not that crazy to imagine stimpacks as being some high tech miracle drug. It’s easy on the old suspension of disbelief, is what I’m saying.
@@caffeinedelusions I think stimpaks are just a bunch of drugs to stimulate your metabolism and speed up your healing, I think there's already stuff like that in the military, tbf I think the closest stimpak behavior to canon is new vegas' hardcore mode, where your hp goes up slowly after taking it
Unlike The Last of Us show the Fallout series is not an adaptation of any of the games but it's own original story set around 9 years after Fallout 4 the latest game in the timeline. The last West Coast Fallout game was New Vegas, both Fallout 3 and Fallout 4 were set on the East Coast. So in relation to New Vegas this series is set around 15 years after Vegas and everything that happened in that game involving West Coast factions and lore. Timeline: Great War - *2077* Fallout - *2161* Fallout 2 - *2241* Fallout 3 - *2277* - 200 YEARS New Vegas - *2281* Fallout 4 - *2287* Fallout TV - *2296*
That turret that missed the scientist and the dog is the MK series automatic turret. It is known to have low hit rate, so no wonder it missed those two.
Fallout originally came from Interplay Productions in 1997, followed by Fallout 2 and Fallout Tactics. Bethesda didn't acquire the rights from Interplay until 2007, and their first release in the story was Fallout 3. Most of the elements that make up the Fallout world come from Interplay, not Bethesda, however Bethesda loved the original games, which is why they honoured them so much in the followups.
It wasnt all roses. But i do believe they have made a faithful (if different) direction. All i care about is i love the games and was bliwn away by how the show surpassed my expectations
Fallout: New Vegas, arguably the best game in the series, was the result of former Black Isle/Interplay employees developing the game under Obsidian and Bethesda publishing it. Bethesda was able to concentrate on the company's other IPs and still profit off of Fallout. It was a smart approach.
The baby foot came out of a gun called the "Junk Jet". You stuff the gun with junk and fire it out at your enemies. The junk jet is also seen by Lucy in the ladies shop when she looks up at the wall at the weapons for sale.
Ella Purnell is fantastic in this role, her emotional expressions are fantastic. BTW she's the voice actress for Jinx in Arcane. Also props to the little girl playing The Ghouls daughter ep1. Her scared acting was spot on.
Little lore things they don't explain: Caps (Bottle caps, from glass bottles pre-war) are currency. The Enclave (where the doctor and dog are from) are a sect of the Brotherhood who were cast out. Your character in the games is usually a Vault Dweller fresh from a Vault. Stimpaks are from the games and are First Aid items, mostly a mild cure-all. Pip-Boys are all-purpose personal computers, nuclear powered of course, that were issued to Vault-Tec employees and Vault dwellers at the time of their admittance to the Vaults. They serve a wide variety of functions, from interfacing with Vault-Tec systems, to flashlights, radios, maps, journals, and bio-monitors. They're your primary menu system in the games, and someone wearing one in the Wasteland is like walking around with Power Armor: It makes you a target, but less obviously so, and less threateningly so. In game, they come with a targeting subsystem called VATS that lets you automatically aim at parts of an enemy or an object. The modern games also let you just shoot at enemies the expected way, by aiming and firing manually. Old world tech exists and is relatively well understood, but the parts and production facilities obviously don't exist. Much of it is ramshackle or cobbled together, except for factions like the Brotherhood and Enclave devoted to hoarding it. The Fallout timeline splintered from ours after WWII. Nuclear technology was embraced and refined to deliver personal sized devices capable of delivering near indefinite power, hence why many electric things still function, to some degree. Alongside it, Capitalism. There is a timeline shown on a blackboard, briefly as a set piece, later in the show for the major world events. The vibe of the show is very similar to the games. The random, blunt, chaotic world of the Wasteland is very faithfully captured. The Knight, the Vault Dweller, and the Ghoul all encounter situations very familiar to viewers that played the games, but unique enough to still feel fresh. Almost every interaction on screen would be right at home in one of the games.
Correction, the Enclave was not part of the Brotherhood of Steel. It was a secret faction in the U.S. government that saw nuclear war as inevitable. When the bombs fell in 2077 they hid on an oil rig off the coast of California to wait out the war and it's aftermath. During the events of Fallout 2 the Enclave is soundly defeated by The Chosen One, the NCR and the Brotherhood. A few survivors managed to flee East to settle in Chicago and Raven Rock outside of D.C. (where they are defeated again in Fallout 3 by The Lone Wanderer and ((you guessed it)) The Brotherhood.)
@bjorns131stpa2 came here to correct this. Yes, the Enclave is the remnants of the US government and were never a part of the BoS. Not sure why OP thought they were. Maybe because of similarities in power suits... but then, the T45 power suit was used by the US military in the Resource Wars of 2052 to 2077. But that would be like saying Israel is a sect of USA because they use F16s.
The devices on vault dweller's wrist is called a PipBoy and it's basically an equivalent of our smartphones In the games, it allows you to manage your health stats, inventory, missions, travels...
The syring she used after getting stabed is called a stim-pak its a medical syringe that increases your metabolism to increase the rate of healing exponentially for a brief period. Game mechanics suggest it makes you more dehydrated and drains your nutrients to do so.
I've finished the series. Don't worry, I'm sure you'll enjoy the show. I've played all of the games (including Fallout Tactics and Shelter). Sure, there're a massive amount of easter eggs in the show, but not a lot of major "inside jokes" that you should worry being left out of.
This show simply takes place in the Fallout universe. It references several games, so if you were to Twitch, there is no one game to play. It feels a lot more like Fallout 3, but it really doesn't matter too much which you play, if you do.
You understand the Brotherhood perfectly. Their primary mission is to find pre-War technology and keep it safe from pretty much everyone but themselves. The device on Lucy's arm is a RobCo Personal Information Processor, or Pip-Boy for short. It's an insanely useful smart watch with lots of features.
I thought the Brotherhood of Steel wanted to round up all the technology and destroy it to avoid making the same mistakes as the pre-war world. Did I misunderstand that...?
@@thecaptain3594 You're half right. They hoard it themselves to avoid (anyone else) making the same mistakes as the pre-war world. The thing about the BoS is, they're hypocrites. Some branches are better than others, but the most sympathetic parts of the Brotherhood are generally considered heretics by the central authorities.
@@thecaptain3594 They want to preserve technology but they recognize that some things are too dangerous to keep around. You have to remember that the Brotherhood was founded by the military guards at a facility that was testing F.E.V. on people and openly rebelled against the government right before the bombs fell.
The show story is an original story. It's not based on any of the games. But the aesthetic, the dark humor, the factions and the spirit of the show is exactly like the game. They did a very, very good job. This may be the best video game adaptation so far.
I am so happy I found your channel, your humor is exactly my humor, u said out loud what I was thinking, I’m now halfway through the reactions and I can’t sleep so I love that u are keeping me company, thanks you 😜 Before this I watched your American history x reaction, and there also its like u take the words right out of my mouth.
22:55, Michael Emerson who plays Wilzig used to be on a show called Person of Interest His character on that show also had a Belgian Malinois as a pet.
It's a new story in the Fallout universe. The games have different characters doing different things. I've played Fallout 4 more than any of the others,.
Love the channel, some of my favorite reacts are when it's genuine interests of the reactor and not just view count chasing. Like having a conversation versus hearing someone read the news. The responses are more honest and compelling. Please delve in to more obscure series as well. will bisquik sponsor you if you react to some of their videos? lol
The main actress - who plays Lucy - is a great fan of the games. So, she knew exactly what had to ba expected of her, when she was hired... and she loved it. You really should watch some of the acrtos interviews (when you've finished the first season, of corse)... they r a over UA-cam
Each entry in the Fallout series is a separate standalone story, including this series. The show is set in the same world as the games, but is it’s own story with its own heroes. The show is set in the same general region as the two earliest games in the series (the Los Angeles/California wasteland), a couple of generations after those games occurred. Later games took place in the vicinity of Washington DC, Las Vegas, and Boston, so the show is kind of a homecoming to a region we haven’t had a good look at since the 90s.
So far it is really good. The world is straight from the games and the posters and all the small Easter eggs are well done. The story is original. If you start the game you will notice how cool it is and how good it was done. The music is my favorite part of the game and the show used many from the games
Didn't even know this was a series until I saw it as a notification from Bissflix. Binged a few episodes before watching this reaction. -Lucy looks like a real-life anime character. -"...A $hitty job". When Bisscute makes a pun it is much funnier for some reason🤔
@BissFlix Yup! Keep doing what yer doing...💪 I have a ton of respect for all of you brave UA-camrs. You open yourselves up to a lot of criticism from the haters of this world. Hopefully the support and positive feedback you all receive is enough to bury any negativity.
I'm a 57 year old guy who played games heavily in my twenties. I pretty much quit from 35 to 48(ish), due to work demands, and then resumed. Fallout 3 was one of the first games I played when I resumed, followed immediately by Fallout 4, and Fallout 76 (👎). With the exception of 76, I found the Fallout games the most immersive and enjoyable games I have ever played. They also contain an enormous amount of really clever tongue-in-cheek humor (like the posters and signs which are everywhere). I really think you would enjoy playing them. This series follows general ideas and universe of the game but not too tightly to the actual story.
Just skipped it for 76 for some reason and then found 76 disappointing. I definitely intend to do Vegas as well as I’ve heard much more positive comments about it.
The series captures the humor of the games perfectly 😁 The war happened in 2077, Fallouts world is perpetually stuck in 1950's style, where everything is nuclear and transistors where never invented. The series happens in 2296 after the story of Fallout 4. There are animals which are macronized versions of the originals throughout, mostly arthropods. The Bear was a ghoul, animals can be too not only humans.
Small correction: Transistors were eventually invented in the Fallout universe, but only in 2060, so they didn't have enough time to catch up with the other tech before the bombs fell
Yeah, you’re probably missing quite a bit when watching this without having played the games. All of the things you’re wondering about are things that ring a bell with us that played the games. For people who haven’t played, this is a nice or great series to watch. For those that have played, this show is close to perfection. The storyline, the music, the humor, the gadgets, the violence, the views: everything is sooo spot on and reminiscent of the games.
lol the show had kids in it but there is no sign of them after that scene of the MC teaching class. Guess the kids just upped and disappeared. Amazing.
The man outside of the compound where the Ghoul was kept, who got impaled by a baby doll, got shot by a weapon from the games called a “Junk Jet,” which literally fires random junk the user feeds into it.
This show is its own story set in the Fallout universe. I assume it is canonical. The factions, weapons, technology, creatures, vehicles, etc. - all extremely accurate to modern Fallout games. The lore of the show as it pertains to the general timeline of the Fallout series is also extremely accurate. The three protagonists are all new characters never before seen in a Fallout game, though. The medical thing Lucy injected herself with after she got stabbed was a Stimpak. It's a general purpose healing device that can regenerate tissue for small wounds. That's why she pulled the knife out - so the Stimpak could do its job and start to close up her wound. Also, be aware that some of the things in this show might not entirely jive with the games. For instance, the whole, "feral ghouls can't abide a chicken," thing. That's not something from any of the games as far as I am aware. I'm inclined to believe that the guy who said it just didn't know what he was talking about and it's total BS - sort of an inside joke for Fallout fans. However, it's also possible Bethesda intends to turn it into a thing for future Fallout games, so who knows?
I"ve played the games and binge-watched the show, and I think you will love it, Biss. I think you will love the games as well. Fallout 76 is the most recent, but it is an online game, so I would go with Fallout 4.
Im gonna watch this " with you " biss, as I have no clue wtf Fallout is, so here goes nothing!! 👊🏻 Also, " categories " is pronounced in four syllables, as in, " CAT-UH / GORE-EASE but condensed and sounded out into a 1-2 like = CATUH-GOREASE ! I love your accent and your English is impeccable, so I thought you'd appreciate a most friendly tip! 🤍🤲🏻
I actually like this series. I have not been fond of almost anything coming off the movie/tv assembly line these days, but this one actually did it for me. I'm on ep 5 and so far it is sticking the landing. Each game follows its own story. You come into the game as a Vault Dweller from a different vault every time, and you go out of the vault into the Wasteland on an adventure. In Fallout 1, your vault's water purification system is breaking down, and you go out in the Wasteland to find a new part to fix it. In Fallout 3, the vault Overseer is a tyrant taking over the whole vault, and he has you in his sights, so you have to flee the vault. In Fallout 4, you actually start out as a person living before the bombs fell, and you go to a vault and they put you in a cryo chamber, so that you sleep for 300 years and wake up to go out into the wasteland. So each game is its own self-contained story. This show follows its own story, it is set in the world but does not follow the story or characters from any of the games. It is actually a clever way of telling stories in a universe: you can keep changing it from game to game or from season to season and making a totally new story with totally new characters.
The canon, lore, settings, and props are pretty true to the Fallout world of the games, but this is an entirely new story that is not a continuation of any of the story arcs in the games. This series takes place about 9 years after Fallout 4, which takes place on the East coast. For game play, I found Fallout 4 the easiest to get in to, followed by Fallout 3. Many people say that Fallout New Vegas is the best, but personally I found that one difficult to hold my attention, but then again, I also enjoy Fallout 76 (which I do not recommend as your first Fallout game.)
This show isn’t just inspired by the game, it’s like there was a weird experiment that happened in the storyline of the game that shot out this gem into our reality for us to enjoy…
This show has all of the Lore from the games. It's fun to recognize the foods, monsters, tech and factions from the games, BUT this is a brand new story that's based in the "Fallout" world. I thought it was pretty good from the start, but Trust Me, it gets Better as you go further along.
Love your reactions, wish I could teach my Fiancée to roll her Rs the way you do, it's cute as pie. We'd love to do reactions ourselves, maybe one day you'll see us on here
I was a little skeptical, as I always am about video game adaptions, but just on what you showed hear I feel that I really need to watch this. It looks like a lot of fun. Never played the games much, a little bit of New Vegas, but I tend to get overwhelmed and lose interest with open world games, so I only was like halfway through it.
Hint, Always watch reviews of the game you want to play and all versions of it before deciding on with one you like and suits you best. I suggest, Fall Out 3 then New Vegas then Fall out 4. They're the best of the series..........But that's just my opinion.........
The show has zero game characters and zero game storylines. And that was to be expected. Each game is set in a different year (sometimes 5 years after the last game, sometimes 40) and in a different area of the USA (Boston area, Las Vegas area, Washington area, Los Angeles area, etc.), and even between games there are rarely characters that appear in multiple chapters. The common denominator is that usually the protagonist is a Vault dweller (from a different Vault each time) that has to go out to the surface for one reason or another. This adaptation is *PERFECT* in that it uses very well the setting, but is an entirely new story, as is tradition. ❤
The world and lore are basically spot on, as is the soundtrack, but the show doesn't follow the story of any of the games. There's going to be people who complain, because people do like to complain. I've finished the series, and put lots of time into the games, and I loved this. If you ever decide to play the games, despite the general high praise for Fallout: New Vegas, I think Fallout 4 is probably the easiest for new players to get into, because of the improvements since 3 and after that New Vegas. Including character creation being much better, and general graphics and gameplay improvements. I've played those three a lot, and I think Fallout 4 and 3 probably are the best intros to it, in that order. Then hours in, and the feeling accomplishment of finishing one newer game, it's an easier ask to go back later to play 3 and New Vegas, and maybe later still, go even further back if ok with something that old. Not everyone is, so that's why I say that.
It's easy to be one of us guys. Just sink hundreds of hours into the Fallout games! I think the show mostly does a good job of introducing you to what you need to know. If it tried to tell you everything, it'd be too much information at once.
As someone who has played all of the Fallout Games, the first few episodes of the Fallout TV show left me with plenty of questions. It's an original story, not specifically based on any one game. And I think that was the right choice. I recommend playing Fallout, Fallout 2, or Fallout: New Vegas... maybe even Fallout 4. I will admit that Fallout and Fallout 2 are perhaps a bit inaccessible for modern gamers. They're from the 1990s and it shows. I don't know what kind of games you like. I, personally, consider Fallout (the original) to be one of the best games of all time - an exemplar of it's genre, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's genre is the kind of game you'd like.
The Fallout world shown here is very similar to the games but each game is another region. If you wish to try it out, I would choose Fallout 3, 3 New Vegas or Fallout 4 with Fallout 3 New Vegas as the best one fitting this game. It’s in a close region (though the timeline is earlier) and some of the same factions exist there.
I recommend playing Fallout 3 or Fallout 4 Everything will become clear. TV series based on a computer game. The game is GREAT. Cool even for today. I think all the characters are there and will be in the series. I hope it will be done well. I'm a fan of the game and I'm enjoying the series so far. But the game is much cooler.
Here is a bit of lore on the Games/Show universe:

Before this I watched your American history x reaction, and there also its like u take the words right out of my mouth.
Welcome aboard!
22:55, Michael Emerson who plays Wilzig used to be on a show called Person of Interest
His character on that show also had a Belgian Malinois as a pet.
"What a shitty job....someone is feeling shitty" 👌
The plot of the show is different than the games. But the world and lore are basically the same.
Who are you talking to @@Holfax
Love your reaction Miss Bisscute. Thanks for this one.💓
(flash)
(pensive silence)
"Shoot."
(me cackling in laughter)
Walton Goggins facial expressions in the nuke scene. Nothing has to be even said.
I just binge watched the entire first season and, no spoiler, i have only one thing to say:
DAMN, WOW, mission accomplished !
Enjoy !
It's a new story in the Fallout universe. The games have different characters doing different things. I've played Fallout 4 more than any of the others,.
Love the channel, some of my favorite reacts are when it's genuine interests of the reactor and not just view count chasing. Like having a conversation versus hearing someone read the news. The responses are more honest and compelling. Please delve in to more obscure series as well.
will bisquik sponsor you if you react to some of their videos? lol
It's directed by Jonathon Nolan (Christopher Nolan's brother).
I’m not one to watch a lot of reaction videos, but your voice is so calming for some reason. Look forward to the rest of the series.
Thank you so much, glad you are loving it
25:00 Radroaches are always the first mutated creature you encunter in fallout games, that's a pretty nice easter egg here.
"tell me you're rich, without telling me you're rich" 🤣
is it not right ??
@@BissFlixIt was perfect
@@daybeau7819 agreed
Actually, many people had private shelters. Most didn't work though.
Walton goggins made me have a crush on the ghoul, im so in love with his acting 😍
“Puppies 😀… Dead puppies 😦” that’s fallout
This is what happens when you make it for the fans and not a focus group. 9/10, the whole season was great.
I am excited to watch more
7 out of 10... no Deathclaw was a huge disappointment
It's very much in the spirit of the game series, without just showing the same things we already played through.
Thanks for watching
"Tell me you're rich without telling me you're rich" you got my thumbs up and subscription right there 😊
haha thank you so much
33:29 😅, It does sound like a tennis machine.
The main actress - who plays Lucy - is a great fan of the games.
So, she knew exactly what had to ba expected of her, when she was hired... and she loved it.
You really should watch some of the acrtos interviews (when you've finished the first season, of corse)... they r a over UA-cam
Oh really? Nice
36:47, you did not say that LOL
lol
Lucy is the actress voice of Jinx in Arcane series
Each entry in the Fallout series is a separate standalone story, including this series. The show is set in the same world as the games, but is it’s own story with its own heroes.
The show is set in the same general region as the two earliest games in the series (the Los Angeles/California wasteland), a couple of generations after those games occurred. Later games took place in the vicinity of Washington DC, Las Vegas, and Boston, so the show is kind of a homecoming to a region we haven’t had a good look at since the 90s.
The thing on the wrist is a Pip-Boy...think big Apple watch. The whole vibe of Fallout is 1950's U.S. but with advanced tech that's nuclear powered.
So far it is really good. The world is straight from the games and the posters and all the small Easter eggs are well done. The story is original. If you start the game you will notice how cool it is and how good it was done. The music is my favorite part of the game and the show used many from the games
Definitely looking forward to the games, thanks for watching
Probably my favorite joke in the early episodes is that every time Lucy says, "Okey dokey," it's applied to a less and less desirable situation.
You have to figure after over 200 years in the vault everyone will be related somehow. All cousins of varying degrees.
I must say, Great review, Love the accent, At first I thought, Russian. You said Romanian. Nice to meet and watch you. Have an awesome day :)
Didn't even know this was a series until I saw it as a notification from Bissflix. Binged a few episodes before watching this reaction.
-Lucy looks like a real-life anime character.
-"...A $hitty job". When Bisscute makes a pun it is much funnier for some reason🤔
Haha, thanks for watching. Glad you are enjoying the reaction
@BissFlix Yup! Keep doing what yer doing...💪 I have a ton of respect for all of you brave UA-camrs. You open yourselves up to a lot of criticism from the haters of this world. Hopefully the support and positive feedback you all receive is enough to bury any negativity.
I'm a 57 year old guy who played games heavily in my twenties. I pretty much quit from 35 to 48(ish), due to work demands, and then resumed. Fallout 3 was one of the first games I played when I resumed, followed immediately by Fallout 4, and Fallout 76 (👎). With the exception of 76, I found the Fallout games the most immersive and enjoyable games I have ever played. They also contain an enormous amount of really clever tongue-in-cheek humor (like the posters and signs which are everywhere). I really think you would enjoy playing them. This series follows general ideas and universe of the game but not too tightly to the actual story.
Why not New Vegas? Half the Obsidian team was part of the original Black Isle team that made Fallout to begin with, Tim Cain included.
Just skipped it for 76 for some reason and then found 76 disappointing. I definitely intend to do Vegas as well as I’ve heard much more positive comments about it.
The series captures the humor of the games perfectly 😁 The war happened in 2077, Fallouts world is perpetually stuck in 1950's style, where everything is nuclear and transistors where never invented. The series happens in 2296 after the story of Fallout 4. There are animals which are macronized versions of the originals throughout, mostly arthropods. The Bear was a ghoul, animals can be too not only humans.
Small correction: Transistors were eventually invented in the Fallout universe, but only in 2060, so they didn't have enough time to catch up with the other tech before the bombs fell
10:11 best sound ever, I'll record it immediately 😂
Haha glad you enjoyed the reaction
Yeah, you’re probably missing quite a bit when watching this without having played the games. All of the things you’re wondering about are things that ring a bell with us that played the games. For people who haven’t played, this is a nice or great series to watch. For those that have played, this show is close to perfection. The storyline, the music, the humor, the gadgets, the violence, the views: everything is sooo spot on and reminiscent of the games.
lol the show had kids in it but there is no sign of them after that scene of the MC teaching class. Guess the kids just upped and disappeared. Amazing.
The man outside of the compound where the Ghoul was kept, who got impaled by a baby doll, got shot by a weapon from the games called a “Junk Jet,” which literally fires random junk the user feeds into it.
Lmao great sense of humour by the reactor, that's a nice change
Going to watch on Patreon. Just leaving a view, a like and a comment..
Thank you so much, much appreciated
After 200 years, everyone in a vault would be related to each other. I recommend that you play the games so you can become one of us.
Maybe after the show, still deciding
Yep this is Fallout world in game!
Thanks for watching, I’m excited to see more
36:36 This Maxamis W is brought to you by the letter L, because my boy can’t get too much shine 😅
This show is its own story set in the Fallout universe. I assume it is canonical. The factions, weapons, technology, creatures, vehicles, etc. - all extremely accurate to modern Fallout games. The lore of the show as it pertains to the general timeline of the Fallout series is also extremely accurate. The three protagonists are all new characters never before seen in a Fallout game, though.
The medical thing Lucy injected herself with after she got stabbed was a Stimpak. It's a general purpose healing device that can regenerate tissue for small wounds. That's why she pulled the knife out - so the Stimpak could do its job and start to close up her wound.
Also, be aware that some of the things in this show might not entirely jive with the games. For instance, the whole, "feral ghouls can't abide a chicken," thing. That's not something from any of the games as far as I am aware. I'm inclined to believe that the guy who said it just didn't know what he was talking about and it's total BS - sort of an inside joke for Fallout fans. However, it's also possible Bethesda intends to turn it into a thing for future Fallout games, so who knows?
If you like Lucy do "Yellowjackets" she's the star in that too
Fallout vibes. I've been playing a lot of Fallout 4
Never played the game
Not gunna lie.. "Your sperm count is on the curtain" is the best line of 2024 I've heard, lol
I"ve played the games and binge-watched the show, and I think you will love it, Biss. I think you will love the games as well. Fallout 76 is the most recent, but it is an online game, so I would go with Fallout 4.
Thanks, I think I will, we shall see
This show is pretty good if you've never played the games but if you have it's next-level amazing.
Im gonna watch this " with you " biss, as I have no clue wtf Fallout is, so here goes nothing!! 👊🏻 Also, " categories " is pronounced in four syllables, as in, " CAT-UH / GORE-EASE but condensed and sounded out into a 1-2 like = CATUH-GOREASE ! I love your accent and your English is impeccable, so I thought you'd appreciate a most friendly tip! 🤍🤲🏻
Thanks, I never played the games so this is an experience for me too
Lucy Maclaine? Now where have I heard that name before...
all the games have different stories and take place on different years
Hi Miss Bisscute 👋🤗 Madalina 😎 As always the like button ✅ has been Illuminated 😁👍👍☺️🇺🇲🎙️🌞☀️🏝️🌎
I actually like this series. I have not been fond of almost anything coming off the movie/tv assembly line these days, but this one actually did it for me. I'm on ep 5 and so far it is sticking the landing.
Each game follows its own story. You come into the game as a Vault Dweller from a different vault every time, and you go out of the vault into the Wasteland on an adventure. In Fallout 1, your vault's water purification system is breaking down, and you go out in the Wasteland to find a new part to fix it. In Fallout 3, the vault Overseer is a tyrant taking over the whole vault, and he has you in his sights, so you have to flee the vault. In Fallout 4, you actually start out as a person living before the bombs fell, and you go to a vault and they put you in a cryo chamber, so that you sleep for 300 years and wake up to go out into the wasteland. So each game is its own self-contained story. This show follows its own story, it is set in the world but does not follow the story or characters from any of the games. It is actually a clever way of telling stories in a universe: you can keep changing it from game to game or from season to season and making a totally new story with totally new characters.
Can't wait to watch your review, Playing the game................... Fall Out 1, 2, New Vegas, and Fall Out 76 then Fall Out 4................ ;)
I’ve been watching bisscute for a long time. Is anyone else thinning the same thing fm thinking? She’s a superstar.
Awww thank you
As a tangent of producers and cast , recommend "Person of Interest".
Wilzig’s Actor is also on Lost
@@corpusD he's more likable in PoI.
Too bad, Harold did not last long...
The canon, lore, settings, and props are pretty true to the Fallout world of the games, but this is an entirely new story that is not a continuation of any of the story arcs in the games. This series takes place about 9 years after Fallout 4, which takes place on the East coast. For game play, I found Fallout 4 the easiest to get in to, followed by Fallout 3. Many people say that Fallout New Vegas is the best, but personally I found that one difficult to hold my attention, but then again, I also enjoy Fallout 76 (which I do not recommend as your first Fallout game.)
Fallout tv series is not just an adaptation of the fallout video games also canon. Same universe new story new characters.
Nearly clicked off the video when the title card came up and it said Ep4 as not seen that yet .. thank god that was just an error in editing
Yeah unfortunately it was a linked layer that wasnt turned off 👍 Im sorry about that
I just realized something - were they referencing VATS in episode 2 with the bullet time?
She: I want to be one of you guys.
Me: No, you don't. LOL
This show isn’t just inspired by the game, it’s like there was a weird experiment that happened in the storyline of the game that shot out this gem into our reality for us to enjoy…
Bissquick! (Now I want some pancakes...)
😅😅😅😅
This show has all of the Lore from the games. It's fun to recognize the foods, monsters, tech and factions from the games, BUT this is a brand new story that's based in the "Fallout" world. I thought it was pretty good from the start, but Trust Me, it gets Better as you go further along.
I'm definitely looking forward to watching more
"Moldaver"😊 Hmm.
" i wanna be one of you guys ". Girl, no you don't
I have never played this game or know anything about it but the series looks pretty good.
Right? Haven’t played the games but it does look good
Love your reactions, wish I could teach my Fiancée to roll her Rs the way you do, it's cute as pie. We'd love to do reactions ourselves, maybe one day you'll see us on here
Thank you, glad you guys are loving my reaction. Best of luck to you
Yes, Vampires are make-believe...and a real decapitation takes forever.
Which game do you plan on playing? I'd go for 4. Or 3 if you can tolerate the old graphics.
Or New Vegas (same engine than Fallout 3, better RPG)
Fallout 76 is free to download and play until the 18th as a celebration of this shows release.
I was a little skeptical, as I always am about video game adaptions, but just on what you showed hear I feel that I really need to watch this. It looks like a lot of fun. Never played the games much, a little bit of New Vegas, but I tend to get overwhelmed and lose interest with open world games, so I only was like halfway through it.
You should react to marvel shield. great cast.
Uh you mixed up your episode titles lol. I was quite confused when you called episode 1 "Episode 4: The Ghouls" lol
Justo curious... Where aré you from?
Hint, Always watch reviews of the game you want to play and all versions of it before deciding on with one you like and suits you best. I suggest, Fall Out 3 then New Vegas then Fall out 4. They're the best of the series..........But that's just my opinion.........
The show has zero game characters and zero game storylines.
And that was to be expected.
Each game is set in a different year (sometimes 5 years after the last game, sometimes 40) and in a different area of the USA (Boston area, Las Vegas area, Washington area, Los Angeles area, etc.), and even between games there are rarely characters that appear in multiple chapters.
The common denominator is that usually the protagonist is a Vault dweller (from a different Vault each time) that has to go out to the surface for one reason or another.
This adaptation is *PERFECT* in that it uses very well the setting, but is an entirely new story, as is tradition. ❤
All stuff from Fallout 4!
Really? was told its from all the games, bits and pieces
The world and lore are basically spot on, as is the soundtrack, but the show doesn't follow the story of any of the games. There's going to be people who complain, because people do like to complain. I've finished the series, and put lots of time into the games, and I loved this.
If you ever decide to play the games, despite the general high praise for Fallout: New Vegas, I think Fallout 4 is probably the easiest for new players to get into, because of the improvements since 3 and after that New Vegas. Including character creation being much better, and general graphics and gameplay improvements.
I've played those three a lot, and I think Fallout 4 and 3 probably are the best intros to it, in that order. Then hours in, and the feeling accomplishment of finishing one newer game, it's an easier ask to go back later to play 3 and New Vegas, and maybe later still, go even further back if ok with something that old. Not everyone is, so that's why I say that.
It's easy to be one of us guys. Just sink hundreds of hours into the Fallout games! I think the show mostly does a good job of introducing you to what you need to know. If it tried to tell you everything, it'd be too much information at once.
As someone who has played all of the Fallout Games, the first few episodes of the Fallout TV show left me with plenty of questions. It's an original story, not specifically based on any one game. And I think that was the right choice.
I recommend playing Fallout, Fallout 2, or Fallout: New Vegas... maybe even Fallout 4. I will admit that Fallout and Fallout 2 are perhaps a bit inaccessible for modern gamers. They're from the 1990s and it shows. I don't know what kind of games you like. I, personally, consider Fallout (the original) to be one of the best games of all time - an exemplar of it's genre, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's genre is the kind of game you'd like.
Thank you for the recommendation
The Fallout world shown here is very similar to the games but each game is another region. If you wish to try it out, I would choose Fallout 3, 3 New Vegas or Fallout 4 with Fallout 3 New Vegas as the best one fitting this game. It’s in a close region (though the timeline is earlier) and some of the same factions exist there.
I recommend playing Fallout 3 or Fallout 4 Everything will become clear. TV series based on a computer game. The game is GREAT. Cool even for today. I think all the characters are there and will be in the series. I hope it will be done well. I'm a fan of the game and I'm enjoying the series so far. But the game is much cooler.
6:28 You will be if you go play one of the games. I suggest Fallout 3 or Fallout New Vegas.
I heard those are quite old ish?
@@BissFlix Yes, but still very good. Fallout 4 is newer but other than the graphics I would not consider it a better game.
Fallout 3 is the best the new Vegas and last is fallout4 in my opinion
