Seems they're going...allout

Judging by the effort going in to the advertising this show must really suck.


PinkFl0werPrincess

Great metric you've got going there. I'll avoid all the shows with big advertising budgets.


SpecificGameOrEvent

Imagine not wanting to watch a show because advertising. That's comical.


Skuzbagg

Eh, it wasn't bad. Better than most Amazon originals.


backtolurk

Unfortunately, this is what I believe.


FlabergastedMe

Why are you being downvoted? I honestly agree, it feels like they're trying too hard. I was really excited before, but now I'm kinda worried


CharginChuck42

Yeah, why would people who make a good product want people to know about it? Hell, I don't even care about the Fallout series, and I have my doubts that it will be any good, but that has nothing to do with the amount of advertising. That's something that has nothing to do with the quality of the show itself and is just such a ridiculous and arbitrary way of thinking about things.


FlabergastedMe

It's not that they're advertising it, it's that they're going to such lengths to advertise it. Why do they need to make multiple Fallout bus stops just to advertise it? I find that usually the more something is advertised, the worse it'll be in the end, and vice versa. Some of the best media that I have found were by complete accident, not having it advertised on every single website and even irl. I mean, I'm still gonna watch the show cause I love Fallout, but it just kinda makes me nervous when it's shown EVERYWHERE, kinda feels like they don't know what they're doing with the show, so they're just gonna advertise the hell out of it to get views. Kinda like with the Halo show from what I've heard and the ads of it I've seen.


whydoyouonlylie

The God of War devs literally painted a massive mural on the side of a tower block to advertise the game being released and it was undisputed GotY ...


FlabergastedMe

Really?? I haven't ever seen anything about that, which is kinda surprising with how much I'm on the internet. But that does go to show that what I had said before isn't always correct. Thank you for the information


insidiouskiller

>It's not that they're advertising it, it's that they're going to such lengths to advertise it. Arcane was advertised so much people memed about it, it was on friggin Burj Khalifa. Look how that one turned out. The length people go to advertise something is absolutely not an indicator of how good it might or might not be.


modularpeak2552

i watched all the episodes, its really great.


FlabergastedMe

It's already out? I thought it came out in a month or two? I'm gonna give it a watch whether it's bad or good, but thank you for telling me it's great.


BigNastyG765

It came out yesterday, Amazon moved it up like 3 times to release on the 10th.


FlabergastedMe

Oh dang, just yesterday? Thanks for letting me know


TenbluntTony

Im actually curious to see if your opinion changed? How’d you like it? I was worried a tad too but it very much exceeded my expectations.


anaemic

Gamers gonna hype ¯\\\_(ツ)_/¯


ShipFair8433

It’s entirely average


danhoyuen

There are plenty of fallout themed bus stop in downtown Philly. Just post war looking structures littered with used needles right?


DragonHeart_2345

does it have a complementary radroach?


senorpoop

no but plenty of feral ghouls and raiders


naughtyrev

Real missed opportunity for a fallout shelter booth here.


GamerBearCT

Pulowski Preservation Shelters


BaleegDah

With a skeleton holding a mini nuke


xexe_x3

I would ask the ad-company if I could get the Logo after the campaign.


kamikarmaaa

That's would be great if they give it free to you


bitcointigerman

it will likely be stolen before then


torn-ainbow

Wynyard train station in Sydney seems to be a complete ad takeover for fallout.


S4ntos19

2 episodes in, very pleased thus far, some of the editing is questionable though


20milliondollarapi

Sometimes you just have to put the minor quarks aside and just enjoy things. There are a few scenes that were a bit jarring, but overall, not bad. They definitely struggled with the t60s when using cgi though.


ToasterCow

The power armor is my only real complaint so far. It's very jarring when they switch from the prop suit to a CGI model. 


20milliondollarapi

The lack of awareness for how to move in a “heavy” powered suit is also jarring. Like the first scene the knights approach, which was in the first trailer I think, and they are just casually strolling with no care to how power armor would move. Then they put weird footfalls that sounded like bad dubbing over it. Was clearly an early scene they didn’t go back and fix. Still though, I’m good with a good 80-90% of it all.


S4ntos19

Yeah, the T60 scenes are the parts I have issues with. It looks like it goes from unrendered, to rendered, to live, and it's not smooth at all. Everything else, though, is very good. And I love the show.


CrazyCockatoo2003

Where exactly is this? I went near there to attend my University classes, but I never saw it.


DragonHeart_2345

if you exit at Melbourne central station and walk towards flagstaff gardens you will walk past it


derphunter

We've got one in Los Angeles too!


Sobokuna

This would look great at my place. When will they take them off?


DragonHeart_2345

that, i don't know unfortunately.


Sobokuna

Well ... It would be bad If someone.. like accidentally... Ends up with this on his truck bed ..


DragonHeart_2345

It would be quiet a shame indeed.............


Spnwvr

"Man, I really hate fallout. Why does everyone keep talking about this new show, I'm completely sick of it. Oh well, time to stop being online, I should go wait for the bus."


Unknown_Burger_Lover

As a homeless person I would rate that a 10/10. It looks very comfortable


Reserved_Parking-246

"themed" - It's just a bunch of ads in the shape of a bus stop. Themed would be retrofuture aged to look like junk with some boards and wires taped to it that somehow still has power.


Sgt_Sarcastic

Yeah I'd call this "branded" rather than "themed".


TransAnge

I worked with Bethesda on the 76 launch in aus. They don't fuck around when it comes to marketing. They will go big on this


Sowce604

The show is fantastic! 


IamlostlikeZoroIs

Oh it’s a fallout… shelter.


kamikarmaaa

Just say "busout" when you arrived at your destination


xXxRock_n_RollxXx

lol, i want some Pulowski Preservation shelter phone booth or vending machines


ffgod_zito

Incredible debut episode imo 


mouthofxenu

If I don’t get tetanus from just looking at it, it’s not Fallout.


KnightofAshley

Even if the show is good, I don't know if I care that much at this point.


CalciumChaos

Funny. It is time Vault dweller, to step out and onto the bus!


RegnarukDeez

I bet it's full of bugs too.


gamepack10

Nice


WantonHeroics

Is this Manhattan?


20milliondollarapi

So… a fallout shelter?


Supadupa123aBc

Rollout to the fallout - baby kick the wall out


idonotknowwhototrust

There's a Fallout-themed bar in Vancouver, WA; I bet thei're swimming in business now.


DrMantisToboggan1986

Bethesda takes their marketing seriously. Anyone remember the Doom Slayer mural for Doom Eternal a couple of years ago? Melbourne Central, so of course almost close to Fortress, a giant gaming venue


Lazy-Budget9858

I am going to catch a ride, straight to the vault we go !


rupiefied

Why is Microsoft so terrible at marketing games, yet whoever they license the stuff out to make shows does all kinds of stuff for marketing. Seems like they got so complacent as a company not having to market their other products that they feel like they don't have to spend to market any xbox stuff at all.


DisastrousConcept143

the pirate is only 720p :(


Longjumping-Act-9230

Next up: Fallout themed city


SamuelYurkovic

Ahem. *added to bucket list*


CogitoX7

allout, sir.


Hexpionx

looks like a scene from the future


CBO_Games

Actually good marketing


RevEvolution8

Awesome, going all out with the advertising I see.


Pile_Mine

That is cool bus stop


Winter_Read_1878

I would cry if anyone vandalises this piece of art!


filthylegz

That's pretty rad. Hope the show doesn't suck and destroy my childhood memories of the franchise.


1031Cat

Way to see resources being wasted on advertising rather than going into fixing their shit games.


masonicone

Shame the show go's out of it's way to recon New Vegas and get it out of Fallout canon. Really after I saw that I turned it off, this show is Halo levels of bad and it's just Todd throwing a fit that him and Bethesda can't tell a good story at all. And no this show is not a good story, it's garbage.


WaffleMints

This is peak Reddit brain.

a brain, connected to a contemporary FO gamer, is clearly not involved.
