Is no one looking forward to this download, I didn't even notice it was coming out this soon since there has really been that many reports on it lately.

DARK WITNESS5419d ago

so each of these little pieces of DLC has been about 800 points..

I am glad i have not bought any of them yet. you know by the end of this year, there will be some special edition with all of it on disc and it will prob cost less. If it don't, give it a month and the price will drop anyway.

I think i will just wait till then...

ID IR A G 0 N5419d ago

they will not drop the price in a month, so good luck with that. the other dlc are still 800pts, so that logic fails.

im debating if i should get this or not, i mean this would be $40 worth of add-ons. all of the dlc have been fun, but it seems to be a little overboard at this point.

DARK WITNESS5419d ago (Edited 5419d ago )

no, i meant the price of the retail disc when it comes out...

sorry, maybe it was not clear. I know the price of the DLC has not come down since they were released. when/ if it comes out on disc, i would expect it to go down though.

Mybe not where you are, but over here when they released the collectors box for the game it was £49, about 2 or 3 weeks later it was £29 on special offer and its price has not changed since then from my local gamestation.

I was pissed as hell about it, i could have waited 3 weeks and got it new for half the price, anyway... just saying.

from what i have heard i am not in a rush to go pay 800 points for them.

robotnik5419d ago

...when a Game of the Year edition is coming this fall.

TheMART5419d ago

Those that want to play new stuff now and aren't cheapasses just buy the stuff.

Why wait for months and have fun so much later? I guess thats something PS3 fans got used to, Lost Planet 1 year later, Oblivion 1 year later, Bioshock 1.5 years later, NGII 1.5 year later, DLC never, unless the special edition comes out

BBBBOOOORRRRIIINNNNGGGGGG

You might want to wait with buying new games also, untill they become platinum you know, will save you half the money! You'll only play 1 to 2 years later, but hey...

-MD-5419d ago

PS3 owners are professionals at waiting for things.

FLOWCity5419d ago

So..Usually the DLC has glitches..Lets wait and see

Captain Tuttle5419d ago

I've played about a half-hour so far and nothing yet. I'll keep my fingers crossed though.

-MD-5419d ago

Even if it does contain glitches doesn't Bethesda get right on it and fix it within a day or two? I remember them being pretty good with it previously.

thedarkvault5419d ago

some people have been playing it since last week, gamestop sold DLC cards and they worked for some people last week before bethesda shut off the download, I think they tested this one days in advance because of past issues.

mrv3215419d ago

I'm just waiting for someone to stream it... I have my gamesave for Fallout 3 on PS3 which is level 20, so I'm going to wait for GOTY edition with all the DLC, use that and get to level 30, save up the quests do or atleast start broken steal and do the other quests, get to level 30 and be completely unkillable.

ID IR A G 0 N5419d ago

you wont be unkillable. there are some tough new enemies to balance out the level cap. super mutant overlords are tough bastards. im a level 30 and most of the enemies arent any trouble but when you run into the new enemies it can be a tough fight.

LONEWOLF2315419d ago

Yeah the game is set in a way that is you are Ultra Powerful so will be your enemies.

mrv3215419d ago

I play ALL my games on VERY easy and trust me when you have 3 fully repaired Tesla armour and 7 assault riffles and medic armour and T-51b AND! A couple Plasma Riffles the game does become easy.

shiner5419d ago

Pretty tough, yes. Unkillable, no. The giant albino radscorpions they put in are some tough bastards, especially because they run in pairs. The mutant overlords are not that bad if you get one by itself and can sneak attack it. the ones i hate though are the new feral ghoul reavers. They're super fast and throw radiation at you.

I'm looking forward to this dlc, new areas to explore are always fun.

Captain Tuttle5419d ago

The hillbillies are damned tough.

"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

Tacoboto10h 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

Inverno9h 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

isarai9h 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.

LucasRuinedChildhood1d 13h ago

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

VenomUK1d 10h ago

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

I would’ve focused on the creative.

anast16h ago

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

gold_drake1d 9h ago

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

anast16h 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.

Armaggedon1d 4h ago

Not all games “look” current.

anast16h ago

Their games always look like the gen before it.

Armaggedon6h 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_drake9h ago

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

anast8h 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.

What Made Fallout 3 One Hell of a Game?

Bethesda's post-apocalyptic RPG remains an unabashed classic, more than a decade and a half on from its launch.

For me its the fact that I could put hundreds of hours into it and still find areas I missed in my earlier runs. It was also my first FO and despite what I had to put up with at times such as overall crashs and killing my orginal PS3 with the YLOD it's still my favorite entry to this day.

-Foxtrot4d ago

Tons of reasons

But my silly little one…hunting for unique weapons and armour

Something Fallout 4 just didn’t really have as much because they replaced most of it with randomly generated customised weapons. Even Elder Scrolla doesn't do it as well.

Yui_Suzumiya3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

I remember during my first playthrough of Fallout 4 back in 2015 I somehow got an automatic combat rifle that shot explosive rounds by defeating a legendary creature. Unfortunately that was the only playthrough I ever got that weapon. It's a shame because it was absolutely epic!

Vits3d ago

Sense of exploration. That was why older Bethesda games were so good. They might have had glitches, broken mechanics, meh visuals, etc., but they were some of the best around when it came down to the sense of exploration. You could go wherever you wanted and you would find something cool; it might have been a faction, a weapon, an enemy and much more. And that is what they are lacking now. Skyrim still had a lot of that, but Fallout 4 dropped it by focusing on an interconnected world and more randomly generated rewards. Fallout 76 just kept that trend and added multiplayer, and Starfield went even further in killing it by creating a whole universe with parts completely isolated from each other.

EazyC3d ago

I think the retrospective of Fallout: New Vegas' existence has somewhat diminished the view of Fallout 3 in the eyes of many, but it getting out of the vault in Fallout 3 was, for me, the most remarkable experience I've had in a videogame.

I was 12 when it came out, and I remember I just saw the score it got in Gamemaster magazine (remember those!? 😅), and I just went to the shop and bought it with my pocket money.

Not knowing anything about the game, I thought the whole thing was going to be about growing up in a vault, especially given that I'd spent about 2 hours in it....I literally could.not.believe it when you got out and it was just this wasteland on every direction. Amazing.

Tody_ZA3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

Probably because these Bethesda games were hand crafted so that exploration meant something. Unlike Starfield where this sense of exploration is replaced with the illusion of scope and procedurally generated worlds. A player can always appreciate when they wonder into an unforgettable new encounter by accident or stumble across a new questline that becomes their favourite. Just like a player can always tell when they're ploughing through filler on auto pilot, that they'll forget the moment some resource numbers go up and nothing worth remembering occurred.

I mean, in Fallout 3 you could nuke an entire town as a SIDE QUEST. In The Elder Scrolls Oblivion and Skyrim, the Dark Brotherhood questlines were my favourite in any RPGs and you could completely avoid them if you didn't care for them. In The Witcher 3 side quests take you on ridiculously dark and mysterious storylines that are some of the best I've played in RPG history. There's a reason why people still talk about KOTOR to this day. Difference between a developer creating something or just padding a game world with stuff.

Fist4achin3d ago

There were some side quests that could yld have been developed into an entirely separate game. Some great writing there.
