Am I the only one watching?

Just started it. Great soundtrack!

Enjoyed it, feels like fallout.

So, having finished Season 1, I can report that I, a non-player of the games whose knowledge of the setting comes purely from geek osmosis, and my GF, who has played them but wasn't crazy about it, both thoroughly enjoyed the show and are eager for another eight episodes. What we were both fans of going in was Walton Goggins going back to The Shield, it's great to see him land a role like this.

I never really got into the universe (despite liking the setting) but I've finished the pilot and thought it was a great adaptation (much, much better than what Amazon did to LOTR). It has both protagonists and villains that are interesting enough to care about and I'll be watching the full season for sure.

I just recently binged this series, I am surprised that when Maximus took Titus' armour he didn't request a new gun as well as a squire since his weapon was destroyed in that fight with the radioactive bear.

That'd be a move taking balls that Maximus, at that point, does not yet have. He knew he let the guy (who we all know was a prick, but still his boss) die and took his stuff. He'd rather go on the lam than push his luck.
