x360a: E3 2009: Fallout 3's Point Lookout Preview

x360a writes: "The fourth piece of downloadable content for Bethesda's hugely successful Fallout 3 is but weeks away and looks to offer a slightly different slant on the DLC we've seen to date. Point Lookout, which is nearly complete and is just going through the final stages of testing and certification, throws you into a mysterious land on the coast of Maryland, accessible from the Duchess Gambit, Tobar's ferry situated along the Potomac River. The main quest of Point Lookout asks you to choose side in a local conflict between Desmond and the Tribals over a mysterious local fruit, the Punga Fruit.

Unlike the downloadable content so far, Point Lookout doesn't lock the player in to the main quest line so players can come and go as they please. The main quest of Point Lookout is said to take between 3 and 4 hours to complete but players can tackle the side quests situated around the area to squeeze a few more hours out of the adventure..."

The 10s: Worst DLC

Megan Salisbury writes:

"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.

Lucretia4705d ago

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.

Can I be bothered to go back to Fallout 3....

No

MasterD9194716d ago

And of course Skyrim's Dawngaurd DLC isn't in the mix...

TrendyGamers4716d ago

Most people have all this DLC already.

KingOfArcadia4716d ago

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.
