2 hours of gameplay?? What?

Vecta5988d ago

yeah iunno about that, Iv already spent 2 hours on it and have only completed half of it.

original seed5988d ago

Im 3 hours in and still have not half way through. I like to search for things.

MSXBOX-World disappointing website.

Silellak5988d ago

You know, the sad thing is that even if it were only 2 hours for $10 (which it sounds like it isn't), that'd be about par for the course for modern games.

$10 * 6 = $60.
2 hours * 6 = 12 hours.

Sounds about right. How depressing.

dragunrising5988d ago

I'm waiting for all three sets of DLC before I splurge. Maybe there will be a value 3 pack? Glad the DLC is greater than 3 hours for a number of people. I know I will spend a substantial amount of time with the new content once I get it. I take a 50 hour game Oblivion/Fallout 3 and make it 100 to 150 hours easy...:-p

Is this Serious... I was really upset to learn that this DLC wasnt coming to my PS3, but now, i am not really that sad about it, it actually has me laughing, because MS probably paid for this Exclusive*Maybe Times* rights to this DL Content, and it adds 2 hours of content?? Please, thats an Insult... I have about 65 hours poured into just one of my characters, and havnt even finished half way with the story on that... I was upset at first, but this dissapointment of DL Content is quick to ease the mind. Doesn't mean i wouldn't like to have it, im just not shelling out money for 2 extra hours of gameplay on an already Outstanding game.

rawd5988d ago

2 hours, are you kidding me

Nexy5988d ago

If the DLC were on PS3 as well you guys would all have totally different things to say.

Pennywise5988d ago

Yeah we would all jump for joy that we can pay $10 for 2 hours of game play. Not everything, everyone says on this site is part of some conspiracy console war going on.

Gamers spend money on games. There are A LOT of games to buy. We must be picky and criticize the games that are not worth it. Gamers come to N4G for news and opinions. You might not like mine and I dont like yours.

MGOelite5988d ago

if it was on ps3 it would be longer??? dumbass

marichuu5988d ago

I have it on the 360, and absolutely worship the game... When I saw that it was released, I just went "zomfg, gotta get home and DL it", but this piece of DLC sounds very disappointing. I'll end up getting it either way, but I'm not rushing it. I'm not buying it with the MS points I can get online... buying some cheaper points on gamehubs.com first.

IdleLeeSiuLung5988d ago

lol @mgoelite

It is a disturbing direction for sure. Shorter DLC at the same price tag. Features taken out of games to be sold as DLC. Nobody is forcing me to buy it, but we used to get a lot more free content. Now, everything is a DLC. I partly blame MS for this!

Halochampian5988d ago

I highly doubt that Alaska was suppose to be in the original game.

SL1M DADDY5988d ago

Please, give it a rest. 10 bucks for 2 hours of game is simply pathetic no matter what console it's on. This is not a console issue, this is Bethesda turning their backs on gamers in search of some KY to give us the skin flute up the pooper. Sorry, but no deal.

They are talking about the price and no it's not 2 hours. Ah well either you like it or you don't and either you have it or you don't.

Give us FO3 with all the dlc remastered like ESO. Load times faster, quality of life improvements, gun play improvements

I believe it shouldn't just be graphical they should make improvements where they can to make the game better. A simple face lift isn't what's needed

ZeekQuattro57d ago

Still my favorite one. I remember getting a digital copy of FO3 when I got FO4(XBO). It was nice to finally play a stable version of the game. Then when I got a Series S it was an even better expierence. Quick resume and FPS boost made it feel like a whole new game. Updated gunplay would be very welcome though. One of the few things FO4 did better.

New Vegas and Morrowind should have been first!

Christopher65d ago

Fairly certain we all know that New Vegas isn't getting anything because it's not a Bethesda developed game.

OMGitzThatGuy65d ago

MS owns both devs, if they want it, a 3rd party will make it.

Christopher65d ago

***MS owns both devs, if they want it, a 3rd party will make it. ***

I think the issue is that it's not a Bethesda developed game, not that MS owns both. This is more about Todd.

RaidenBlack64d ago (Edited 64d ago )

Yep ... Todd doesn't like getting bettered within his own IP scope.
I still think of the Elder Scrolls spin-off Obsidian pitched similar to New Vegas, but Todd rejected.

RaidenBlack64d ago (Edited 64d ago )

Replayed NV more than FO3 ... so I appreciate the FO3 remaster more.
For NV, I'd much prefer a sequel or a spinoff from Obsidian.

FTLmaster65d ago

Got a soft spot for Fallout 3, so I'd be down to play this.

-Foxtrot65d ago

It's crazy New Vegas wasn't worked on first to launch alongside Fallout Season 2.

They could have added all the cut content they had planned but didn't have enough development time to add, possibly even expand on it a little more. For example, have the Vegas strip as one big hub over being chopped into smaller sections we have to keep loading into.

neutralgamer199265d ago

Would love a complete remake or sequel with enough resources

Abnor_Mal65d ago

The only Fallout game I’ve played, PS3 had to keep stopping every few minutes to save. Next thing I knew the credits were rolling and I never did any side quest. I never replayed the game because of all the bugs the game had.

Yui_Suzumiya65d ago (Edited 65d ago )

I've played Fallout 3 more than any game. I lost count many years ago of how many times I finished it. It was my first Platinum trophy. But yeah, it was buggy on PS3 at launch before it got properly patched.

anast65d ago

They are only remaking their games that have been streamlined.
