I'm not a gamer so I knew nothing at all about Fallout, The last of us or Halo before the TV versions.
Fallout was silly in a harmless way but not sure if it was interesting enough to watch a second season.
The Last of us despite all the hype was very generic and unoriginal.
Halo was decent and enjoyable even though I've seen poor reviews.
I can only assume that gamers have different expectations and thoughts on the adaptations but as stand alone shows without knowing anything about each world or the characters they are decent enough viewing. |

Loving it at the minute!
Only two episodes in because I want to savour it.
Totally immersed myself in Fallout 3 back in the day, it was a delightful escapism from the job I was doing at the time.
Watching the show took be back to those days |

"Really enjoyed it but I think the writers may have been watching Severance while working on the final twists...."
No spoilers!!
Though I’ve heard they’re going to make another series, so that’s good!  |

Finished watching it and having played the game can relate to it. Enough for me to pull the game out and have a wee play ! Definitely think it will give the game refresh now it enhanced for series X. What yous guys think ?  |

"Supposidly games sales have risen 7500%"
Fallout 76 had a million new players in one day. A lot of them are probably gamepass/ps+. But still, with how solid (somehow) the show is I believe the 7500% stat. |

Never played the games as I positively loathe with a passion the retro-kitschy 1960's aesthetic. I've always like high-tech, not kludged-together old tech.
Watched the series and it was ok. I liked the story and the characters, but just found the aesthetic not to my taste.
I remember cringing at the original Lost In Space with its quirky retro feel. However the reboot with more believable and useful tech was excellent.
That's just me though. I do appreciate the cleverness of the design aesthetic and the way Fallout integrated it, but old tech leaves me cold and uninspired. |

I like that Amazon put the whole series up at once, and not weekly, so I watched it in a couple of days and will watch it again when they release the second series.
I have downloaded fallout 4 on ps plus. |

We finished the show last night and really enjoyed it.
I've never played the game and have no plans on it. Most of my hobbies are already too time consuming so the last thing I need is another one
