Errol finally comes around and buys DLC to Fallout 3. Here's my review of Point Lookout.

"DLC is one of those things where you love it or hate it. Those who hate it wish it to go away and unfortunately, that will not be happening any time soon. DLC is a part of a gamer’s life no matter what we say. There are good DLCs and there are atrocious DLCs to be offered. Some DLC offered by companies directly insults the intelligence of gamers while other DLC is just plain terrible."
The COD DLC does not belong on the list. $15 for 5 maps is fine. And it's completely optional.
lol ur a fool. 15 for 3 maps that are flash back already made levels from previous games, and 2 new levels that shoulda been in the game anyway. yeah its optional but should have been in the game since the beginning
Online passes, map packs, custom packs, etc.....
These type of DLC are the worst and are made to rip-off people.
Great DLC is like the Undead Dlc for red dead redemption, Old World Blues for fallout, or like borderlands The Secret Armory of General Knoxx and Oblivions Shivering Isles.......
I disagree that online passes are unfair.
If I were a developer/publisher, I would be just as upset knowing that more copies of my games are being sold used, putting money into the pockets of everyone aside from those who actually created it, as they seem to be.
Nothing wrong with the second-hand market. But with companies like Gamestop who do everything in their power to persuade you to keep returning to their stores and buying used, well, I don't blame them for putting something in place that gives them SOMETHING for their efforts.
Acclaimed add-ons for Bethesda classics Oblivion and Fallout 3 have become available at bargain bin prices on Xbox Live.
Dang, got excited there for a second. Then I realized that I've already played through all the FO3 add-ons, I just bought the Oblivion GOTY edition yesterday, and Dawnguard last week.
The Games for Windows – LIVE ‘Deal of the Week’ offers are often a bit hit-and-miss. The digital distribution service seems to be a bit confused in it’s pricing strategy at the best of times, let alone when one product is reduced so significantly in price for one week only. This week however, it makes perfect sense, as one of the best games of recent years becomes available for a pocket money price.
Just pick it up in the next steam sale if you can. It still requires a GFWL account to play but someone released a patch that allows you to play the game without running GFWL at the same time. Helps increase game performance and you don't have to put up with the annoying GFWL interface and pop ups that are in your face.
All of which you could have gotten last year for about the same price on Steam when Fallout: New Vegas was launched...
This is not what people meant by needing Microsoft to kick their GFWL deals up a notch. A 3 year-old game is still a 3-year old game. People are looking for deals on newer games as well as a much needed expanded library of games.
I have a tip for everyone who is looking for good digital deals. I always check 3 "sites". Those are:
STEAM. They often have daily deals, weekly deals and sometimes even so called "publisher deals" where they sell games really really cheap. In the last few weeks they have hade a few of those and I picked up Bioshock 1 & 2, GTA 1-4, Crysis & Crysis Warhead and so on. Check STEAM everyday for great deals!
www.gamersgate.com , A nice site that always have a deal on something. I have bought Metro 2033 and Torchlight from this one very cheap!
www.direct2drive.com , they have a lot of deals and often low price on many games. The process of downloading etc might be a little complicated, but their deals are always really nice. Like today, RIFT for 17.50£!
Check these sites regularly for great deals! You will be able to afford a lot of great games this way :) The deals I mention above is not available anymore, except the RIFT one which is only today. But watch these sites :)
No matter who you get this deal from...getting all the DLC + Fallout 3 is worth it. Easily over 75+ hours of content.
