ATLANTA – Taking a break from complaining about the state of the Fallout game series, local gamer Reggie Fowler has confirmed his sights are now set on the Fallout TV series.
Fowler, a Fallout super fan and tough critic, took to X to share his dismay about the adaptation.
“From the trailers alone, it seems like the characters have less dialogue options than in Fallout 4 — which is saying something because there were like no dialogue options in Fallout 4,” Fowler lamented in a long-winded thread. “Fallout was built on options and role-playing. You’re telling me I just have to sit there and watch a predetermined narrative with no options? Even Fallout 4 lets you pick a faction to side with by the end of the game. How lame of Bethe$da and Amazon to take choice away from the viewers.”
“And less than 30fps? Are you serious?” Fowler continued. “How in 2024 is this show under 30fps? Even the Micro$oft fanboys can run Fallout 4 at 60fps on the Xbox Series X. I cannot fathom how the production company that spent billions on the woke Lord of the Rings series would let this happen to their Fallout show.”
Martin Davis, fellow Fallout fan and Fowler’s best friend joined in on the pile-on.
“I have 1200 hours played in that dog shit game,” Davis added. “The Commonwealth is a complete waste of a map, there’s next to nothing to do on it. There’s no truly evil faction option to side with. The opening takes forever to complete. No one asked for settlement building, but Todd snuck that one in on us, didn’t he. And I would know. I eat, breathe, and sleep Fallout.”
Addie Rich, a spokesperson for Amazon, weighed in on the complaints.
“We hope Fallout fans will choose to judge the show on its merits after its release. With a rich backstory and high-quality CGI, the show is visually stunning. And it may not be apparent now, but there are many ways to interact with Fallout while watching, including the pause, mute, and volume buttons. Viewers will also be welcome to make exciting choices while watching the show, such as whether or not to turn on the closed captioning.”
At press time, Fowler was reportedly rewatching the trailer to the Fallout TV series for the thousandth time, looking for something new to complain about.
