If it was merely narcissistic tendencies, they’d ordinarily get a bigger rush by having their own works outperform the established big names in a medium or even genre within the medium. However, many of these writers and showrunners also had major failures on their resume, or had long lingered in obscurity, causing them to nurture an inferiority complex in the recesses of their minds that they may not be aware of.

@@pyRoy6the difference with the Last of Us is that it already had a story which was essentially one-to-one adaptable to cinema. The story is intentionally designed in a character driven, episodic way which makes it super well suited to a tv series. Whereas the Bungie Halo games and the Fallout games, outside of Reach, do not have character-focused storylines which makes them really difficult to adapt. That’s why Master Chief in the series feels like character assassination, because he had no real character arc in the Bungie games so the TV writers had a failed attempt to try to insert their own character in his place. So definitely it would work better to either follow the storyline of one of the books or just have a parallel story which doesn’t explicitly follow the Chief’s actions in the original trilogy.

I am surprised, you're the first Fallout fan I've heard say anything positive about the Fallout show. Every other fan I've talked to has hated it.

Having watched reactions from people who have no clue about the Fallout universe, I am pleased to see that the show is just as enjoyable for them apparently. Fallout was simply well made and wasn't afraid of going all in on the game aesthetic and even referencing gameplay weirdness, like pointing a gun while talking to someone, the big bags carried by the "squires" for all the loot, the fact that people suck at shooting with iron sights and so much more. The ultimate game reference was when the Ghoul said something regarding how you will always get sidetracked in the Wasteland; a clear nod to the typical Fallout player completely forgetting their main quest and doing everything else. I haven't watched Halo (nor have I played the games), but from your description it seems they were too afraid to go all in. They didn't want to make a series based directly on a game, but rather "inspired by" which nobody really wanted. Like you said: people liked the games for a reason. TV developers should not assume that video game media is all that different from their format, and Fallout clearly showed this. They even have the same animations for the power armor (except for the jetpack/flying system which is a sensible adjustment for practical reasons in the show)

As someone who's new to the Fallout universe, I'm absolutely loving the show. Funny thing is that Ella Purnell also played a leading character for another S+ show based off a video game series, Arcane. From watching both of these shows I can tell you that the thing they both excel at immensely is characterization. You empathize with the characters in these shows, you can see their flaws, you want them to succeed, and the intricate ways they interact with each other and their environment keeps you glued to the screen. They also both have a gorgeous, distinct aesthetic and music choice in each show, and Fallout has its signature dark humor. Of course Easter eggs and nods to the original fans are great, but both of these shows make it their priority to have deep and fascinating characters that anybody, fan or not, could get attached to. Characterization trumps all. Anyone could watch these shows and get invested. I haven't seen the Halo show, so I can't speak about its quality, but from the scenes I've seen, it looks painfully generic and uninspired. The lead looks like a generic sci-fi action guy. It's hard for me to see it catching the attention of individuals who aren't already Halo fans.

For example, the show could have shown us the attack on earth while we are fighting on a different platform than Master Chief was and when chief was going to do his space bomb, maybe our troop had to take down sensors or shields so chief could land or just show us chief blowing up the carrier while we watch from a window. Following a new squad of troops could also opened up to all the romance themes that they are forcing the chief into, and they wouldn't need to be in armor 100% of the time, and they could be vulnerable.

Pretty close to the ODST game itself from a high level, but that's not so bad anyway. It could even be centered around a group of "normal" marines just trying to stay alive while completing their missions. Chief has a soft spot for a good ol' duty-bound soldier, so it would both make sense and be a facet of his character for him to take our protagonist under his wing for a mission (as in a season, or slightly less). The character would be changed by chief and perhaps become promoted to an ODST after some time, then in season 2 have a little bit of overlap with chief but mostly be much more independent due to character development having been with the chief. Perhaps they could now link up with the ODST crew from H3:ODST (maybe this person is actually one of those members). It's so so so so weird that the show decided to make Halo first and foremost about conspiracy. The conspiracy plot has always been there, but only under a few layers of lore (until H4, anyway). The real essence of the game/story is wonder/mystery/discovery, honor-bound duty, and survival against the odds. Arguably it's less important to know ABOUT the aliens/forerunners as it is to be awe-struck and inspired by the aliens/forerunners. And the spotlight of humanity shouldn't be on how much infighting there can be, but on how it can pull together to survive an existential threat (2 of them, actually). Aside from being abysmally made, the show completely misses that point

I still contend that the halo show is made for people that have heard the word “Halo” and “master chief” before but never played the games

To be fair, those New Vegas "fans" really overreacted when it comes to how the show supposedly handled the West Coast lore. I can forgive them for not being able to read a flowchart, but I can't forgive them for being butthurt babies who continue to spread misinformation in order to justify their unecessary hate.

Halo had such big names attached to it for so many years, like Peter Jackson and Neill Blompkamp. It's nuts that it was such a juggernaut franchise only to end up where it is now.

It wasn't even just that we were "trying" to get a Halo show, Hollywood had FULL ODST GEAR IN OTHER MOVIES, back when Firefly's movie Serenity and the movie District 9 were made...

Neighbors start going missing and you get a riff of Invasion of Body Snatchers type thing, where local authorities are concerned about a possible Ork spore invasion and begin a brutal crack down. Henry Cavill shows up as an Inquisitor Idealist , he's trying to balance not committing genocide (because of the planet's abundant harvests) with getting to the bottom of this invasion or corruption plot. He begins thinking agents of Chaos are controlling his command. We find out midseason that it's actually an Tyranid invasion, and Cavill is having to fight against a corrupt Imperial Guard (corrupted by Chaos?), fearful farmers, guardsmen and bureaucrats who might be victims to Chaos or Tyranids, and a looming infestation of Orks. It starts dark, gets darker, gets way darker - stick with the grim dark sadness rather than a focus on big action scenes. In the final episode Space Marine shows up and it absolutely dwarfs Henry Cavill, it represents the Imperium's decision to kill everyone on the planet and Cavill has failed. Warhammer is more popular now than ever and it would be easy to do this show without thinking it needs to be a hardcore shoot'm up like Halo tried to avoid. It shouldn't be action, it should be slow rolling horror with sprinkles of mad violence. With that in mind, it could be done affordably.

What's crazy is that Maximus in Fallout kept his helmet on more than Master Chief in Halo. WTF?

In a complete vacuum the Halo show is a dumpster fire that hates is own source material. Compared to Fallout it is an embarrassment on the careers of every single person in a decision making position that worked on it. I only feel bad for the actors, crews, and effects teams for having to be part of something so soul less. Hope they got *good* paychecks

I think a Halo live action movie with John113 giving back the bomb is epic but not very story rich. I think a Series about Sgt Johnson’s career would be really great for world building. He started off fighting rebels and then meets the covenant at Harvest and basically follows nearly every significant event up to installation 00. He has perspective, a really interesting story arch, close ties to Captain Keyes and Miranda Keys as well as Dr Halsey and Cortana. Hell, they could open with John113 giving back the bomb and then after the first season when John113 goes MIA there could be a heap of cuts back to Johnson fighting the Rebels, meeting the Covenant, Defeating the Covenant at Reach and discover the massive fleet that the Forerunners left to help the Humans. There would be so much more of a believable human element and it would be interesting to see how Sgt Johnson explains the rebel situation to Miranda as all Miranda seemed to know was the Human-Covenant War and doesn’t have much, if any distrust towards UNSC or ONI.

Liking or not the format of the game, Fallout 76 is still canon and after watching the show I believe its plot and lore could be quite a bit more important the we might have thought. I mean, we have a vault that (behind all the patriotic and promotional fluff) is ultimately a "good" vault (no crazy experiments done on vault dwellers), is set to open just 25 years after the war and one of the primary directives they give us for when we exit the vault is: "Acquire control over and secure Appalachia's nuclear missile silos". Silos that are apparently fully automated, self-repairing and can produce their own nuclear missiles from a large stockpile of resources. I'm pretty sure the last thing Shady Sands citizens heard before the big boom was "Take me home, country road, to the place, I belong..."

That Landfall live action halo video they did like 15 years ago was way better than the whole halo series put together. Who the fuck would choose to make a 'silver canon' when the canon was already so rich, incompetence doesn't even begin to explain 343 and Paramount!

Shows so good i restarted Fallout New Vegas on PS5 stream store, Todd came out and said all the games are canon, especially NV, we just have to wait and see WHICH ending was i’m thinking its the House Always Wins timeline with The Courier pushing the NCR and The Legion out of the Mohave eventually leading to The Fall Of Shady Sands seen in the show

I’m glad they dropped it all on one day… I’m sick of subscription services milking us for money by dragging a series out over months. The original positive to a subscription service over cable TV was the ability to binge-watch a TV show all at once.

Jimmy Rings and Paramount+ did an absolutely awful job with the Halo TV show. Actually worse than H5's story mode.

The one thing that the Fallout show does that virtually no other film & TV adaptation does is that it *adds* to the existing world and over arching narrative instead of rewriting/reimaging so many of elements that make the original so beloved.

I mean I haven’t played much fallout, but the tv show has encapsulated the atmosphere and the themes of fallout very well while making a new story that I feel is genuinely good

Hey Eck, not sure if this will be a lot of effort but what if you commissioned some artwork similar to the art of Star wars that shows all of the characters throughout the years and stories in one big sort of collage, except do yours with your Doge thumbnail as a sort of centerpiece and using ideas from your other videos and work these past years on KZread surrounding it similar to The Big Star wars collages, . You could even styleyes it in a way, my suggestion just because I love this style is to go like something out of the trippy acid painting

I suppose one thing that works is setting the story in the same canon. Granted as we see with Star Wars this can lead to predictable stories and in Fallout it can lead to some alterations from the rest of Canon being unpopular, but at least you’re bound to a set of rules that the fan base has agreed to. Everything from retcons, alterations, and other surprises need to logically deviate from what’s been established instead of just doing something out of left field.

Cyberpunk and Fallout 4 were revived with their respective shows, really displays how important it is to capture the same audience that the games already did.

The gal I'm seeing and I knocked out the Halo MCC earlier this year. It was her first time through the Bungie classics, and she was all in-wishing she'd been a teen during Halo's prime. The finales of Halo 3 and Halo: Reach blew her away just like they did for me back in the day. I had already seen the first season of the Halo series and wasn't too impressed, even though I heard the second season might turn things around. I was hesitant to ruin her Halo vibe with the series, but we gave season one a go. It was tough after the high of the MCC. She kept saying, "that's not my Master Chief," totally not vibing with it. We finished season two last night and, sadly, it didn't live up to its promises. It feels like the series just wants to wear the Halo name rather than bring the game to life. Pretty disappointing-it's basically just another sci-fi show with the Halo tag. She's already hyped to start Fallout, and honestly, I bet she’ll find it way better than the Halo series. Such a shame for Halo.

When watching the fallout show, i truly felt entertained, and i love how it took things from all or most of the games and put them in said show.I even got chills during the darker scenes, like the part where lucy finds out about more the vault 4 experiment for example. The ghoul aka cooper is probably my favorite character in the show.I did enjoy seeing dogmeat too.Lucy and maximus were also fun to watch.

The Halo show has no rizz

Everyone involved with the Halo show should be ashamed of themselves. To take one of the most influential gaming IP in history and turn it into whatever the Hell they did with it at Paramount... Like, this should have been the easiest win in entertainment history. How do you screw that up that badly? Utterly soul crushing.

What did I like about Halo TV? The big set piece fight scenes with the covenant looked cool. Silver team were good and could be reworked into an interesting side story in canon about a team of Spartans deprogramming themselves. But that’s about it. It’s not like we didn’t have similar or even better versions of those ideas that already existed in the game/book canon. IMO, as polarizing as the Kilo 5 books were, Moral Dictata did the whole Spartan exploring who they could have been way better and in a way more engaging way than the TV series. Heck, they even villainized Halsey better without turning either her or the UNSC into mustache twirling evil.

The Halo show is what happens when the writers don't care about the source material. The Fallout show is what happens when they do.

True about TV show creators. Not about Betshitsda. Because Fallout 3 is exactly like Halo TV show in game form.

How about a t-shirt that just says, "Tasty Noods" as a merch idea?

The problem is that the big budget people who get on board do not care about the Bungie era books or games. They only care about the more recent productions, which includes Spartan sex with civilians (from Halo 4's Spartan Ops), the Fall of Reach just being a line in the manual (from Halo Anniversary), Cortana being evil (from Halo 5, and most of 343i's books), and the Elites being unintelligent morons that murder civilians up close and personal instead of being Elite pilots, bombers, and captains. Season 3, the Master Chief gains Brute allies, and has to resist sexual advances by big hairy apes.

That's why im so glad they DID this so perfect with a big budget, I laughed at the insanely random aggressive deaths animations 🤣

I LOVED that they dropped the entire season at once. I hate cliffhangers in between episodes. Fallout 4 is the most friendly game entry of the lot, the most accessible for new players and arguably the one with a closer look to the show. I've not played 76 but from images seems they are the same in looks. Yes New Vegas is the one with the better crafted story, but its also not as accessible for new players. My favorite gameplay of course is the turn based combat of the original ones, but playing those will put off many new players.

So I just have to add, I get all the content creators and journalists have been criticizing the decision to just drop the whole show at once instead of doing it as a weekly thing because that keeps the show "relevant" or whatever, but I have to say I personally appreciate it, and really wish the streaming services would stop doing the weekly release thing. As a viewer I kinda hate having to wait for extra episodes of a season, especially if the episode for the week just feels like filler with nothing going on. Also helps to avoid any kind of spoilers from discussion online if I can just sit down and watch the whole thing off rip. Also makes it more consumer friendly, as if this is all you're interested in from Prime Video, you can just sub for a month, watch it, and quit. And yes, I'm aware you can do the same thing after the entire show has released, but then you have to avoid spoilers as much as you can, and with CCs and media heads talking about each episode each week, that gets kinda hard to do sometimes. Yes some channels avoid spoilers for a certain amount of time, but not all, and not indefinitely. So as much as it isn't good for all the background metrics companies love so much, I really hope we go back to the netflix way of "fuck it, here's the whole season" as I think that's way more enjoyable for the viewer. And frankly, as a viewer, I'm more concerned with the viewer experience over that of the company or content creators. I doubt it'll happen because of those metrics, the strategy does unfortunately work, but one can dream.

@@TheVeritas1 I mean that’s entirely up to the show’s producers. With streaming being the modern way to watch TV, you know you have the option to do either style. Yes if you’re going to write the show to be done in a weekly manner that’ll make more sense, but writing it that way is entirely optional. Shows used to be written that way to entice people to tune in next time, but that’s because streaming wasn’t a thing back then. Now the weekly structure is just an arbitrary limitation a service puts on a show in order to drive metrics, and keep the show “relevant” for longer. And naturally to keep people subscribed for longer. Some shows can still be written for the weekly manner, but they no longer have to be, and that’s sort of my point. We don’t have to do this weekly thing anymore, it’s purely for the benefit of the business, and to a lesser extent the content creators, as they can talk about something for longer with that method. Which that’s all well and good, as a viewer I’d simply prefer to watch a season of something in one shot, from start to finish, as a cohesive story. We were doing that with the dawn of streaming, but now we’re going back to the weekly structure because it’s better for businesses, and I simply wish we weren’t.

I disagree, though there is just not a good sample size for its effects yet. I dislike the binge format because it lead to Jojo's Bizarre Adventure getting less exposure during its release. And killed all hype the show had generated. People just stopped talking about it but the quality hadn't fallen. I think shows that have any sort of an imherent mystery involved benefit from the weekly format.

Me looking at fallout fans cry over some minor lore retcons while being a Halo fan:

Knew Halo would be awful from the moment the first poster dropped and it was showing Master Chief’s face being played by some Joe Schmoe

Watching Fallout 2024: "I should finish that vault settlement I was working on" Watching Halo TV: ".....well.... anything Halo isn't going to shine as much after seeing this crap....."

an imperial cap with doge on it would be sick ngl

I couldn't agree with the title more. Halo was such a disappointment. But fallout is epic so far

I think they’re kinda making Star Wars look dumb as well, the mandalorian was doing good but decided to de-masculinize Mando and continue with the grogu storyline just to sell toys.

What gets me about the Halo show was the incredibly deep moral complexity they had to play with. The question of what is okay in the name of survival is extremely interesting but (at least in the first season, haven't seen the second) they haven't delved into it. The Master Chief doesn't seem to have had the buy-in that he did in the books and games. Like, he knew he was kidnapped and didn't care because the mission was too important. He wasn't being controlled or his emotions suppressed or anything, he just deeply believed in what he was doing. There are really interesting questions addressed in the books that never get any time in the show, at least as far as I saw.

I want the doge on the mug

Hell yeah, the Fallout show styled ALL over the Halo show. Also, this is probably one of the first recent shows on this channel that I've actually WATCHED. Normally I experience this stuff vicariously, but this time I was on-board for the whole ride because I had Prime. I wouldn't have gotten Prime just for one show, even one as good as Fallout, but since I already had Prime for other purposes, I figured that I didn't have anything to lose. If anything, I feel enriched by the Fallout show being such a fun time, and wasn't bothered by it all releasing at once, and I am definitely coming back for Season 2. As for merch ideas? Well, maybe a little plush of the EckhartsLadder Shiba Inu with a military cap. It could probably work at the size of a piggy bank, since that'd be the perfect size for it to hang out on a small shelf or on your desk. Maybe even call it the Blessed Noodle Pup.

I haven't seen the fallout show but I've heard good things. The sad thing is that I no longer trust Bethesda with the fallout franchise. I think they built up a mountain of goodwill and cashed out with Fallout 76. Just thinking of all the shenanigans they did at launch makes me shake my head. Just look it up on KZread. I'm sure someone did a long form video essay on that.

Okay, major props to the editor for putting Grievous on screen when Eck’s voice cracks…. Brilliant

They can’t do a weekly release because the Fallout New Vegas fans are insufferable so drop everything at once and just hear their hope for a New Vegas 2 go up in smoke.

I love how every content creators is upset Fallout dropped all at once.

I think a Halo TV show about a group of ODST fighting rebels and then having to team up with the rebels to fight the Covenant, being saved by a Spartan (not John-117) in the final episode, would have made for great TV. During the next season, you could have the Spartan take off HER helmet, and the series could have a badass good girl, with the ODST and rebels teaching her about feelings, and that kind of thing, maybe even hooking up with one of the soldiers and absolutely breaking him off screen ... just hear the grunting, then him screaming like a girl, and the next scene is the medic asking the soldier if he was trying to die by snu-snu, and he spends the rest of the season strapped to a gunnery chair.

“People over Amazon just being more clever.” Yikes. Rings of Power left nearly everyone massively disappointed. Let’s be a bit more careful with the compliments there. But you are right as I’ve never played Halo or Fallout and this made me devour Fallout lore on KZread. Halo just didn’t inspire that.

No synergy. That is the PERFECT statements. Amazon honored the franchise, the fans and the story. Halo just made a story. The only thing they did right was dropping episodes weekly.

Well, let's remember Amazon had already destroyed and shat in two beloved franchises... Rings of Power and Wheel of Time

There is no live action A:TLA movie, there is no live action halo series, and there is no queen of England.

I don't really agree with your take on the show, but I respect you for leaving the comments open and not censoring them.

As a creator I would HATE it lol. I'd want to see fans dissect and evaluate each individual episode week by week. It's definitely better for the consumer generally speaking, but also makes spoilers more of a threat to fans without time to binge, among other things. Overall I consider it a worse model than weekly releases, but this TikTok generation doesn't have the patience for that.

It's so incredibly simple - respect the source material. Like, if you have a character that's known for not taking off his helmet - DON'T TAKE OFF HIS HELMET! We didn't need a one-to-one repeat of the events of the games. But for a show to look so much like the games and somehow manage to feel nothing like them is just unforgivable. The Fallout series actually feels like it could be Fallout 5, they got so close.

Fallout respect the Franchise and source material while Halo just took a dump on it, thats the massive difference in the success of Fallout. We kinda knew the Halo show was gonna be bad because the show makers themselves said they never played the games nor did they take a look at the source material.

Totally agree. Halo is such a disappointment while Fallout is glorious.

We need more series being dropped all in 1 day. We are not in the tv era anymore. 😢

I like that they released all episodes at once, we can all watch it at our own pace. If you want to watch all the episodes once a week you can do that yourself. But don't force everyone to just wait for a new episode once a week, that whole building suspense thing is stupid, just release every episode and let me watch them all.

Speaking as someone who's never played Halo, and can't see myself ever playing Halo in the future (I'm not an FPS fan. Hell I'm not even an FPS tolerater! 😁). I didn't mind the TV show. It gave the impression of being a game port but also provided me with a realisation that there's actually some deeper lore that I never knew about. So I've started to pay more attention to the Halo universe as a setting and the books are now on my list for future reading. It hasn't made me want to play the games, I think I'm too far away from the pew pews to ever be brought in that direction. But it's an OK setting for a solid sci-fi show. Is it a show that I waited for with enthusiasm each week? Nope. But it is one that I would choose to watch over rewatching repeats of my favourite classics. So, without neededing to put myself in the shoes of someone new to the franchise, because they're the ones I own, it's a 6-7/10 for me being immersed solely in the internal logic of the show. Comparing it to Fallout however seems a bit mean. As an RPG the whole FO series is geared towards the story. And the characters you play with are regular humans.

Honestly not so sure about the title’s positivity. A large section of the Fanbase is trickered that some of New Vegas was retconned - hopefully todd’s confirmation that shady sands was destroyed later than 2077 mollifies them but I think they’re the type who just wanna be angry for me personally, i don’t care.

I know a lot of Halo fans won’t agree here but I think Halo was doomed to fail in the first place *because* of its source material… it’s based on an FPS with cut scenes. From the start Fallout has been an RPG. Story and world building has been far more important to Fallout than it is to Halo. And fallout’s not limited to particular people or units to tell the story in that world. The only thing dumber than trying to make a Halo series was trying to make a Doom movie… about a guy who we never see his face, never see his character, never know his name and don’t even know where the events are taking place.

Two things about the Fallout show's making are interesting to me. First that Jonothan Nolan really likes and wanted to make a Fallout show, and dug into the material already there that for an extremely minor blink and miss thing in the first scene they used a map Josh Sawyer had made for the prewar USA during the classic Fallout games that was never put into the games. Second, Walton Goggins specifically said he DIDN'T really play the games or look into the material beyond the show much to keep himself as an outside perspective, so while you have people passionate about Fallout, he could be someone not invested in the source material and make sure it all works beyond that stuff. Clearly to me, this stopped there being whatever the fuck that mess Halo was, but also stopped it from being just built on referencing the stuff people already knew like Warcraft and could stand on its own... it just works.

It's not about a good show, it's not about making money, it's about demoralizing you. You're unhappy? Good. You don't agree? Good. It's all about taking what you love and making you hate it. They don't care and never will

IMO, I don’t mind if the Halo show wants to show it’s actors and/or incorporate sex scenes, as long as u don’t break lore it’s fine. Like they COULD’VE made it about Purple team (I just made it up) different Spartans then the ones fans know, they could’ve done anything they wanted with original characters and not piss off the fans as long as as they don’t break lore. If they wanted to “show the human side” of soldiers in this 27year war for survival, they could’ve done a show about ODSTs and have them take off the helmet all the time and have a sex scene every episode, that’d still be preferable to whatever shit we got. It’s astonishing that for a show with such a large production, nobody at any point in the production cycle has asked a fan about their views on it, and after the season 1 backlash, they didn’t fix a single god damn thing for season2.

I love that we now have proof that if the showrunners respect the fans and lore, it will directly benefit the game itself. Make something good, and the fans will support it. Also, Halo is why I don't want a Firefly remake.

As a huge NV fan NV fans lack critical thinking skills and timeline reading abilities.

Halo TV was trash and I feel both appalled and offended that a second season was greenlit before the first one even aired. Someone somewhere probably said "Yeah, yeah, trust me, it's gonna be great, people are gonna love it!" It's not even my money but I still feel like it was stolen from me lol

I love how Kwan Ha, the worst character in the show, is who this show is really all about. Definitely not Master Chief, not the UNSC, not the War. And you cant tell me that with their 10 million dollar budget they couldn't give us a great Fall of Reach. The Battle of The Bastards of Game of Thrones fame was filmed for little more than 10 million.

A canon show based on a company of odst. Starting from harvest to the battle of earth/ the ark would have been 👌👌 just a pure, well written war story without all the random love stories and shit nobody cares about

They needed to either be faithful to the source material like The Last of Us or tell a unique story set within the world of Halo like Fallout or Arcane. Instead they tried to do their own thing with beloved characters and established lore that just didn’t work

I personally watched the series then - immediately upon watching Episode 8 - dusted off Fallout 3, New Vegas, and Fallout 4, updated all my mods and eliminated obsolete ones over the course of two days, and started playing them again. Then, a friend convinced me to buy and download Fallout 76 - which has become an excellent entry after a very rough start - because they made sure to out the entire franchise on sale to mirror the show's release. This was a brilliant marketing move, and it also had to do with the fact that Bethesda Games had devs and writers from the studio coordinating and cooperating with the show runners. If every studio did this, we would get better results from these cinematic adaptations.
