It's like fallout 3 if it was about a homeless person and his kid walking through mud in garbage bags.
-
the book was good. haven't seen the movie yet.
-
I want to read the book now, the movie was really boring but I can tell the story must have been good.
-
I ve read the book, and it was pretty amazing, but I can imagine that if the movie stick to the original it wouldnt be very much action which one might expect from the movie. So bad it isnt avaible in my country yet.

Not really that kind of movie, its dark and brown and everyone is always whispering. I seriously understood like 1/4 of the dialog and I had my tv's volume at 45.

Post apocalyptic fiction is nothing without power armors, miniguns and supermutants.

I find the opposite much more attractive. "The Road" is a bit more realistic etc. I always found the struggle for survival, the "little" problems (no water, no food, everything fucked up, radiated) much more interesting than killing mutants, guys running around in power armor etc.
Though I hadn't seen the film, just read the book. It's not showing in my country and that ninjavideo site isn't working for me.

I like a balance between the grunginess of The Road and the kind of exaggerated crazy world of Fallout. I want more civilisation than The Road, but I can live without the power armour and miniguns. I loved reading about the political intrigue of Van Buren - Crimson Caravans selling guns to both the BOS and the NCR to help fuel their war.
People wearing black leather in the desert, somehow maintaining a mohawk is great no matter how implausible it is. But I'd also prefer it if those leather jacket wearing people were more concerned with getting food, work and not getting shot than finding miniguns. The things that I enjoyed the most in Fallout was how the struggles were still human. The world felt lived in. You felt like you could be there. Unlike most sci-fi which I just can't get into, which is a lot more STAND BACK AND WATCH BECAUSE THIS WORLD IS NOT YOUR WORLD IT IS A DIFFERENT WORLD.
That's kind of what I was hoping for in FOnline. Everyone just trying to get by. Kind of what I imagine Van Buren's coop multiplayer would feel like, but on a bigger scale. You'd be wandering around with your group of wastelanders, taking jobs and having adventures. Maybe you'd get murdered by strangers, but they'd at least have the courtesy to say something badass before they shot you.
Hell, just give me a Firefly MMO. I'll be happy.

I wish fallout was closer to it's mad max roots, I really wanted gunfights from dune buggy's over fuel reserves.
-
now i wanna watch Mad Max, you are very bad.
-
hell i like mad max trilogy very much ;D
-
I just saw this bizzare movie called "a boy and his dog", reminded me a lot of fallout. Dirty men with rifles, gangs of glowing mutants, rapists and telepathic mutant dogs.

I've heard that was a big inspiration for Fallout. At least, the book was. I was trying to find it about a week ago, I can't get my hands on either the ebook or a copy at my library. Shame, really. I was looking forward to reading it. It's by the same guy who wrote I Have No Mouth But I Must Scream. Can't remember his name right now.

The Road was great IMO, Book of Eli not as much...
"Mad Max" trilogy, "A boy and his dog" are must see movies! "A boy and his dog" is low budget and little crazy movie, but You will find lot of Fallout in it. Especially final is in very ... black humor. It was "cult" movie some years ago.

yes, Harlan Ellison :) read it, watch it, it is worth few hours! I suggest also some russian writers, Bulyczow for example (I like one of his book especially, but i don't know if it translated to english, in polish its name is "Miasto na górze" (City above) and in russian "Город наверху" - it is about gigantic vault where people live so long that forget that there is something outside)
