100% from who? "Critics" have proven a thousand times over they're just morons and/or paid shills.

    Are you expecting S02 to be terrible, or something?

    No. Just pointing out the massive flaw of saying it has 100% reviews on RT. The vast majority of people who cite RT only cite the critics, which again, have proven to be brainless sellouts.

    So you’re also implying that the “Audience” score on there is a measure of quality?

    If you’re here to just say all sentiment metrics are bullshit, then, I guess good job spreading the depressing news. You’re saying to trust nothing and no one, especially in aggregate, about product reviews.

    Individuals are shills, paid influencers, etc, and trying to aggregate to compensate for that is just bullshit, in your eyes.

    No, it's not a measure of quality. Though it IS a more accurate measure of general audience reaction.

    My opinion is that the critics are talking about product quality, and that’s what pisses people off. Setting aside actual proven paid shills, of course. And that the audience score is about audience reaction, and not about the quality of the product.

    People hate being told they like low quality content.

    lol no. So many critics absolutely love crap with the lowest quality writing I've seen in decades. They do not review on quality unless it's subjective, "this movie was so pretty!" type BS.

    What one person thinks of as 'quality' can be very diferent from another. Even if people are being as objective as possible (and again, critics are not), different people value different qualities differently.

    The likelihood of any content being 100% is impossible.

    I used it all of the time before it was bought out by Hollywood and became useless.

    Some critics are good, some are bad. Some audience reviews are genuine and helpful, some are review bombs from people who didn't even watch. Pretending either of these groups of individuals behave as some sort of monolith is rather silly.

    you do know 100% rotten tomatoes score just means all reviews are positive, right? it doesn't mean they all rate it as a perfect 10/10.

    That in no way refutes my point that 'critics', especially ones on RT, are often either idiots looking at one aspect (see the love for the sequel trilogy), or idiots who are shilling for the corporations that made the thing.

    Getting early access to a product does not give me hope that these critics are fair, unbiased, or not shilling to keep future early access.

    The scores on these prestige streaming shows are always bullshit. They're usually based off just a handful of critics who saw the first few episodes. These shows are usually front-loaded with quality and then fall apart mid or late in the season, so the scores start great and by the time bad reviews come in most people have moved on.

    I'm quite looking forward to it. I'd hoped for a binge watch but I like the conversation weekly releases generate too.

    I just looked at the release schedule and what the shit, I didn't know they were releasing it weekly. The first season was released all at once. Guess I'll try to avoid spoilers until February.

    Or just watch it weekly. You know, like the 90s and 2000s

    How long is that though? I hear what you're saying, but, for many, a subscription is going to be required to watch it. If it was released all at once it could be watched in a one month subscription vs watching weekly I assume.

    Correct. It's Prime, so squeeze out a month or two of sub for the show completion.

    Is there anyone that actually subscribes to Prime video rather than having it included with their Prime subscription? I can't imagine it's going to make much of a difference for them.

    I personally find it annoying to have to wait from week to week to find out what happens but also appreciate that I'm not finishing an entire year or two worth of work in a single afternoon and then promptly forgetting about it for another year or two.

    I agree. If you're already using prime for purchases, you won't be dumping the sub anyways after this series. I don't mind the weekly waits because I grew up with them. But I can totally understand if you've already been conditioned for full access.

    The first season was so excellent. I am stoked for S2!

    That’s impressive for a video game show. Especially one with a bunch of gimmicks and appeals to violence like this one has.

    I had mixed feelings about the first season. I'm more of a West Coast Fallout Fan then an East Coast Fan, so while I can acknowledge the show is well produced and entertaining, I cant help but be irritated by the direction its taking the franchise. I'm interested but cautious of season 2, especially since its content will now align closer to my favorite game in the series. I'm also doubtful of the long term success of any show from the creators of Westworld. I've been burned before.

    rotten tomatoes always seems extremely bought off and biased. it was so obvious when they were"reviewing the newer ISAIP seasons" to astroturf the ratings.

    I can already see how this is going to play out in the fandom. You basically have two types of Fallout fans. First type is the fans who played the games and the other is the show only fans. When the game fans talk about changes to the lore and world. The show only fans wave it off. This will cause fights in the fandom. This will continue instill they stop setting the show in world of the games. Seeing we have 3 more games to go. This is not going to end soon.
