Though the second season of the show attempted to rectify some of the vocal backlash it faced, particularly from avid fans the Halo videogame franchise familiar with the game’s extensive lore and its Season 2 premiere was among the most watched original shows across all streaming platforms — it appears the efforts weren’t quite enough, […]
I’m so glad The Last of Us exists to show people that not all video game adaptations have to be this bad.
And Fallout. Goddamn, Fallout was such a good show.
Fallout is proof you can make a video game show good and still be true to the original game. Halo was a completely different story they tried to throw the Halo brand on and didn’t give two shits about the game. Bungie should have sued them for slander…. or whoever owns the brand now.
Pretty sure it’s just Microsoft who owns it now.
Yeah I thought so too but I wasn’t sure.
The Last of Us is supremely mid. It’s not bad, it’s not great it’s just ok.
It‘s a very solid adaptation. Sure, it will always sit in the shadow of the game because that’s a masterpiece but if you haven’t played the game yet watched the show, you’re getting a well produced and complete package that isn’t offensive to the source material. Because that’s what happens if you let the writer/director of the source material actually guide you in creating the show.
Fallout wasn’t too bad imo. A bit shit in places but they kept close to the game which certainly peases the gamers.
I preferred Fallout to the last of us to be honest. The show wasn’t a 1-1 copy of any particular games but the core feeling was spot on.
Yeah hard to say because I have played the game. But I’m not particularly passionate about it. I just felt like the show was a bit meh and forgettable personally.
I never played the game, but thought the show was pretty great. Maybe not being familiar with the game is key, since you have different expectations?
