No Fallout 3 Patch For 360/PC Says Bethesda

Torrence Davis of The Bitbag writes, "There's been a huge misunderstanding about Fallout 3 and the ability to go back and play unfinished quests after the DLC has been applied to your 360 or PC. Apparently, gaming blog Next Gen News credited MTV Multiplayer with the info, but made it sound like there's actually a patch coming to the 360 or PC. There is no patch at all, it's just a part of the DLC functionality."

I've said it once but i'll say it again sense i own the version there are not supporting anymore im going to download the PC version free of charge being that i've already paid my money for a game they don't want anything to do with (im talking about the ps3 version)

rroded5568d ago

Tho my pc doesnt run as well as the ps3...
still at least i get the dlc n whatever mods have been made for it.

Sad to see em sell out like this after they did such a fine job w/Oblivion on the ps3.

LeonSKennedy4Life5568d ago (Edited 5568d ago )

I don't know.

I'll probably buy the PC version too. They didn't abandon us. They were just offered money. We all need money, right?

tda-danny5568d ago (Edited 5568d ago )

Doesn't matter is they were or were not offered money. They put out an adiquate PS3 game and called it a day, while they continue to support the other 2 versions.

After I bought Oblivion for the PS3 (goty ed.) and say that they would not add any of the Xbox's dlc, and that they would not patch the glitch which made the vampire quest undo-able (you are stuck as a vamp if you turn into one), I decided not to support Bethesda with fallout. I'm playing the superior PC version... if ya know what I mean.

Meaning I borrowed it from a friend who didn't like it... /sheeesh

dragunrising5568d ago (Edited 5568d ago )

Poor reasoning and shame on you 1.0 & 1.1 for downloading the game illegally. Sorry your butt hurts but you should have known. This is old news presented as new. I'm not here to say I told you so, but rather it is bad on your part to claim naivety and then justify a trip to pirate bay.

DavidMacDougall5568d ago

I had my PS3 a year before this game was out its BS that they should just turn there back on after releasing a broken unfinished game on it there no better than EA and that whole Orange Box BS!

Im not paying again for this game

TruthBTold5568d ago

LOL, yeah I think I should get the PC version too. I heard it can be very inexpensive *wink wink*. That way I can make sure I can get the DLC. I think I will be getting PC versions *wink wink* of Bethesda games in the future since I know it will be supported with any DLC they might decide to make. And PC versions are always cheaper *wink wink* than console versions.

tda-danny5568d ago

Now your seeing what I'm sayin'

Neurotoxin5568d ago

I hate piracy, but you have a good point there mate. You`ve already paid for it so why not download it, If you buy the game on the PS3 you are basically subsidizing the DlC on 360 and PC.... Its disgraceful, Plus the game is STILL full of bugs and critical System breaking problems, well at least the PS3 version.

Enjoy your Pirated copy, **** Bethesda.

yanikins1115568d ago

this is one instance that i support piracy. If your gonna try and ar$3rape the consumer, then dont be suprised when they knee you in the groin.

dredgewalker5568d ago (Edited 5568d ago )

Ive already said i will not buy the Fallout 3 game..........therefore i will go the *wink wink* route....i wanted a legit way of playing this but since theyre just gonna screw me then to hell to with purchasing copies of their games. Im going to save my money and buy the games of deserving developers.

LOL
It's funny because it got all the Xbox 360 and PC gamers excited... Then BAM, it's shattered in there face.

panasonic235568d ago

it's funny the ps3 owners still b!tching because Bethesda said fvck you..... Bam in you're face ahahahhahahhhhaahh

Kyur4ThePain5568d ago

Bethesda need gamers more than gamers need Bethesda.

pwnsause5568d ago

"lol
it's funny the ps3 owners still b!tching because Bethesda said fvck you..... Bam in you're face ahahahhahahhhhaahh"

or because they accepted the money that microsoft offered to keep the DLC under their platforms you dumb, just as how R* accepted $50 million from them for Exclusive DLC which made them close down 2 studios already.

CaptainKratos5568d ago

i was sooo thinking i was going to be able to play my side missions after the main story...i was so piss wrong. :(

Unicron5568d ago

Once again, I think exclusive DLC on a multiplatform release is a kick to the nuts of fans of any franchise in question. You're basically saying "you're money isn't good enough even though you were kind enough to support us, get lost."

Sad, sad trend here.

Megaton5568d ago (Edited 5568d ago )

Completely agreed. I'm against all exclusive DLC, aside from pointless crap like skins. It's a huge slap in the face to those who own the platform that gets shafted. It essentially puts a value on your fanbase, making one group appear more important than the other.

dragunrising5568d ago (Edited 5568d ago )

@ 4 & 4.1- I am not for exclusive downloadable content yet I knew the PC and 360 versions would have DLC exclusive. Don't you think its a bit naive to say that you didn't know? This article is new however it was known a lot time ago this would be the case.u

Edit: I am getting Mirror's Edge for the PS3 on account it has an exclusive downloadable map. Exclusive DLC motivates multiconsole owners to get the version that has it; not in every case yet it is compelling.

Unicron5568d ago (Edited 5568d ago )

It's not a matter of not knowing. I purchased my PS3 long before any exclusive DLC was announced. Again, I'm a Fallout fan who purchased a PS3 because it suited my gaming needs. The 360 did not. So why should I be DENIED the DLC available to other Fallout fans?

Update - Sure, but what of single console owners? Why should they be denied if they have access to the game? It makes it feel "incomplete" and is, I feel, a snub to fans.

Megaton5568d ago

Where did I say I didn't know? I heard it at Microsoft's E3 presentation like everyone else, but I'm not gonna go out and spend $300 on a new console so I can play the extended version of one game, no matter how much I like it.

I hate it when a multiplat title is fragmented for the sake of corporate competition. A large chunk of fans always lose.

Jaces5568d ago

You forget that M$ payed for the DLC, as Sony did not.

It's just business.

IdleLeeSiuLung5568d ago

I must agree with Jaces and Unicron above. Unfortunately, it is a side effect of the way the business works.

Multiplatform games should have multiplatform DLC, but that practically won't happen....

Some of these low paid video game “news” writers weren’t born before 2007.

just_looken16h ago

Here here

Those that were around before 2000's i am sure are like me that think we entered a world of non readers or those that follow without question.

I can not wait to see fallout 3 a goty game even though it was about water with non content until you add the dlc/updates then you got the performance/crashing

CrimsonWing691d 7h ago

I don’t think anything can compare to 2023

lucasnooker1d 7h ago

1998 - the best year in gaming! Metal gear solid, crash bandicoot 3, medievil, half life, ocarina of time, thief, tenchu, resident evil 2, Spyro, tomb raider 3, oddworld abes exodus, banjo kazooie.

It was a different breed of a gaming era. You’ll never understand what it was like back then. The aura of gaming, it was different!

KyRo1d 7h ago (Edited 1d 7h ago )

I second this. Gaming was a lot more varied and fun than it is today. I'm 35 so getting on compared to some here but I got to see all the changes from NES up to now but I've never felt so disappointed in any generation than I have this current gen. I was expecting more from this generation rather than prettier versions of games that came before it. Game mechanics have become so refined that alot of games feel the same and has done for a while now.

Maybe it's time to have a break for a while. I love gaming but I don't feel I get much fun in the traditional sense out of it anymore.

CrimsonWing691d 7h ago (Edited 1d 7h ago )

Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 2, Abe’s Exodus, and Ocarina of Time are the only things from that list that I liked.

Here’s the 2023 game releases that I personally liked… and big releases that I didn’t care for:

- Dead Space Remake
- Wo Long Dynatsy
- Resident Evil 4 Remake
- Diablo 4
- Fire Emblem Engage
- Hogwarts Legcay
- Street Fighter 6
- Hi-Fi Rush
- Like a Dragon: Ishin
- Octopath Traveler 2
- Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters
- Final Fanatsy XVI (actually ended up not liking this, but it was still a big deal release)
- Baldur’s Gate 3
- Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon
- Lies of P
- Mortal Kombat 1
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
- Starfield (Ended up hating this one, but big release)
- Super Mario Bros. Wonder
- Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (I’m an old-school Zelda fan, but didn’t really enjoy this game)
- Alan Wake 2

I mean, honestly I’ve never seen a year of major IP releases like that, ever.

Profchaos1d 4h ago (Edited 1d 4h ago )

Isn't it just a generational thing realistically.

I've been gaming since way back and I some of my favourite games go as far back as the late 80s for me each generation has a year or two of game changing releases one after another before an inevitable dry spell.

I kind of agree gaming had a different feel games hit different because we didn't have the internet nothing got spoiled and you really had to put in the effort to beat a puzzle which could set entire groups of people looking for a solution. But most importantly games were experimental and not as cookie cutter as today even basics like controls were not universal today r2 is shoot l2 is ads garunteed you can't deviate from that in a shooter back then it could of been square, R1 or R1 and circle nothing was standard.

But as time moves on a new generation picks up their controller they are going to be interested in different things that PS1 demo disc with the t Rex blew our primitive 16 bit brains back on launch but to kids today it's laughable.
The new gen of kids coming into to hobby seem to value different things to us there seems to be a huge focus on online play, streamers, gaming personalities, and social experiences, convience of digital downloads. To me I value none of that but that's ok like my parents not liking the band's I would listen to its just the natural cycle.

Gameseeker_Frampt19h ago

Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.

2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.

just_looken16h ago

It still amazes me we got over 7 rockstar games ps2/ps3 but 3 for the ps3/ps4/ps5

Dragon age 1-3 and mass effect 1-3 in 7ish years what a generation.

"You can get all Fallout games in a bundle at a significant 20% discount on Steam. Individually, all these games add up to $244.91. With the discount, you can get them all for $195.91. That is $49 less than the original price. Quite a significant discount for such a popular franchise."

😊 😂 🤣 😐 - But why?

Just wait for a sale and get most if not all of it for a fraction of that price.

20% off...lol

Tacoboto1d 22h ago

The games were just on a real sale over the last week or two for the show promotion. Fallout 4 was $10, 3 was $5, NV was cheap as heck too.

So what the heck is this

Inverno1d 21h ago

The original games have been given out for free by Amazon for GOG and Epic, 76 is free now on Amazon if you have prime, Epic has also given out new Vegas for free and 4 has gone down to pretty cheap prices. 194 bucks is a total ripoff when you can get these games individually for less. Don't forget cd keys might sell em for a dollar less at times too. Come on man, us cheapskates won't touch anything near or above 100 lolz

isarai1d 21h ago

Bro that's a ridiculous ripoff are you kidding me? 🤣

People are stupid I get it. No one should feel unsafe,

But I think they need to talk about why they cut so many corners during the development process and why none of their games ever look current. And why they think all of this is okay while they charge full price.

LucasRuinedChildhood3d ago

As much as Bethesda deserve criticism, that's not really relevant to the reveal of Fallout 3 in 2007.

VenomUK2d ago

The default angle Kotaku always go for is to highlight the worst in gaming.

I would’ve focused on the creative.

anast2d ago

The game went downhill at Fallout 3's release. This is when they started to cut corners.

gold_drake2d ago

there is no "but". the hell lol
you dont send death threats, period.

anast2d ago

Usually, you have good comments but this isn't one of them. It just rides the mob. We can do both condemn the actions and not let them use it for other things.

I can say I received a death threat and everyone needs to shut up. People are not honest and will use horrible things to their advantage.

Armaggedon2d ago

Not all games “look” current.

anast2d ago

Their games always look like the gen before it.

Armaggedon1d 19h ago

Yeah, but thats not the result of laziness, incompetence, or a bad engine. Thats what happens with their type of open world games. Its hard for people to find a point of comparison because no one makes games like Bethesda does.

gold_drake1d 21h ago

mh ok thanks, i still think ur wrong in this mate.

anast1d 20h ago

No problem. I'm not here to convince you. I'm only stating an actuality. What your words do if we look at them like events.
