No way are they paying you enough for that

You can also subtract my viewing off it as -1 subscription to Amazon prime because I pirated it. So, really, the value isn't from being paid whilst watching it, it's from losing Amazon some money in the process.
 
Who is the guy with the brain implant chip in the beginning of Season 2 Episode 1? I thought for a moment he was Mr. House but he isn't.

Well, looks like something worth watching. Apparently this guy uses too many syllables and his videos are too long for most of the people in the Fallout thread and that makes their head hurt, they made that much very clear, but thankfully there is also a video for those with ADHD out there

I don't care to watch either video because even watching someone summarize it for me feels like hatewatching. I will leave that up for the tourists who actually care enough to consider this official Fallout media to begin with. Speaking of tourists, quality of discussions about Fallout everywhere has gone down the drain, I can't wait until the final episode of this season releases so all these mouthbreather bandwagoners can crawl back to where they came from.

The guy who had it in the back of his trunk?
(1) It is the Mr House, he just uses a body double to act as his face to obscure his identity.
This is corroborated by an email in Fallout New Vegas where someone has no clue who is in charge of RobCo because they make it difficult to ascertain. Because of the lack of date, this could've been early on in the 2070s or very late (2076/77)

(2) It Mr House. Anthony House, Robert House's half-brother and owner of H.H. Tools.
The answer as to why they might be chummy is it was all kayfabe to hide their actual plans or something. This is only somewhat viable because the show features the cut Vault 24 from FNV which only has a jumpsuit in the files and nothing else. Assuming it wasn't an accident, they might've done the barest of research into FNV to find shit to put into the show, which means they skimmed the Mr House wiki page and saw he had a brother.

why is that creative faggos always shit on the material. make your own shit and add all the retard shit you want

Well, sometimes what happens is that a writer or director wants to make their own retarded shit, but they don't get the funding unless they market it as an adaptation for something that has already made loads of money.
So they start making a tv show based on a previously successful franchise, but then hijack the plot with their own retarded shit, this is what likely happened to the Halo tv show.
This on the other hand is just the people making it likely only having touched Fallout 4, getting directions from Bethesda that shits upon all the world building of the west coast, and the writer having an axe to grind when it comes to capitalism.
Blowing up all civilization and turning the west coast into the same wasteland as Fallout 3 and 4 smells of Bethesda bullshit.

>"What?! What's going on? Why are they doing this?!" for 3 minutes every 2 minutes before the scene can be allowed to answer/explain itself.
>"Why is the ghoul being healed by radiation that makes no sense?" + complaining that a broken fusion core is being used as a source of rads, then complain about it being thrown away, then complain about it being dangerous to Lucy being around said rads that were just thrown away = 10-15 minutes of the video.

Kill me.

You're being generous that anyone involved even played Fallout 4, it's more likely they just watched someone play it. Bare minimal amount of "research", nobody at the studio knows anything about it, other than "the vibe" that 4 and 76 give off, and the show contradicting even the established Toddler lore, never mind the proper West Coast one, is proof of that. You're right in that this might be Bethesda's grand scheme to "reset" everything, indirectly so they won't be blamed, but frankly this is such a retarded idea that even if that's the case it will bite them in the ass. Fans of the TV show won't play the games, that's stupid nerdy shit weirdoes do, especially those icky RPGs. They will ruin the setting to appeal to the definition of fad chasers, the kind of people who will maybe play Fallout 4 for a few hours and won't bother getting Fallout 5, when it releases in the next 15 years or so.
Oh, and let's not forget that Fallout 4 is currently broken thanks to the latest updates, so it's not like the newcomers could play that game even if they wanted to, even people who played Fallout 4 for 10 years are having trouble un-fucking their newly updated builds and making sure the mods work again. Casuals have no chance in doing the same.

I don't understand why he's upset, he gets to make another 24 hours of content just repeating "THE SHOW IS BAD" until he's red in the face and get paid by people who can't formulate opinions on their own.

I don't think he gets paid, he just goes in depth explaining why the show is shit.

And the show really IS shit, especially the writing.

Funny, because I am hearing otherwise from the Fallout "fandom", or at least copes on why it doesn't matter("I only watch it to see what happened after New Vegas", "It's the action scenes that matter!" ect.). I guess the new crop of Fallout "fans" really do need to be told why it's bad, lmfao

I agree it's bad, but my contention with Creetosis' Fallout tv show videos is how he goes about it.
When you make a point about something, you then need to point to evidence corroborating the point, and then explain how the evidence supports the point.

However the order is switched with those videos. The evidence appears on screen, they find a point (complaint), then try to explain why it's a valid complaint to make.
But the evidence can be incomplete, because the issue might get resolved or overwritten after a minute more of playtime that might make the initial complaint moot. The fusion core complaint stuck out to me because as being especially bad with that video. There's 0 intuition employed on how/why something is done. If you can't intuit how/why the Ghoul has a fusion core on him at the beginning after the end of Season 1, then you're either retarded or being wilfully dense just to make the complaint valid. A bunch of Brotherhood in full power armour were killed by him at the end of season 1.

Mauler's EFAP streams (at least they used to, I don't know what they do nowadays) display the same issue as observable in Creetosis' videos on Fallout. There's complaining on an incomplete scene, then it's a cointoss whether it was premature or not because it can get resolved immediately after. They'll even ask whether something they're complaining about will come up again, landing on, "probably not," because if it does come up again, then the complaint is rendered pointless because if the complaint is "why?" then the answer just comes later.

It can be fun to complain and mock something live as you watch it, but if you're going to make present it to people can you actually edit it, or keep it running while you talk so you don't try to turn a nitpick into a meaningful point? Just keep it rolling, don't pause it whenever you have 1 minor complain to make and drag it out for 10 minutes. Pause it if you actually have something of worth to say. If you want to give a true review of it thereafter, you can do so, but you don't gain anything by attempting to critique an incomplete picture in real time.

Jlongbone does this but better.
 
@>IMPLYING Creetosis is a massive autist and there are times where he makes sweeping comments in-the-moment that are a bit premature, but the point remains that the amazon fallout show is chock full with plot contrivance after plot contrivance, characters behaving inconsistently to suit the needs of the showrunners' edgy tryhard gag-humor scenes and their barely concealed fetishes

Events happen because the showrunners decided ahead of time that they need to show a certain 'funny' situation on camera or show a particular kind of gruesome or sexual scene. Character development and sensible orientation of their decision making is sacrificed over and over again so that we can see some lame incest joke or some other kind of gross-the-viewer-out goal in their quota

That's pretty much the same takeaway I have regarding the show. I can't believe I'm saying this, but even Bethesda's approach to writing is preferable, even if it sucks and worldbuilding is awful at least it generally makes sense in this little world they created(even if that world makes no sense in the wider context of the universe). You will generally get a few good written quests and characters, and even Fallout 4 doesn't try to be too goofy or edgy just for the sake of it, despite easily being the worst mainline entry into the franchise. The Fallout TV show reminds me of Borderlands movie more than anything, that is an insult to anyone who actually enjoys it in this thread. You know who you are.
