Following on the heels of last month's additions to the Folklore tale, two new downloadable add-on packs are heading your way soon.
In The Alchemist Pack (Folklore Add-on #3), Ellen heads for Undersea City in search of her mother, while other quests will find you collecting stones for a mysterious alchemy experiment and clearing away the Folks who are blocking the Elevator in Hell Realm.
Discover Scarab, a new Folk that will make sure you get the "point", as well as a special Faery-inspired costume for Ellen.
All this extra content is making me seriously reconsider not purchasing this game. I played the demo and was largely underwhelmed, but I've heard many good things from friends about the game, and all the new downloadables appear they will considerably extend the replay value. I was similarly enticed to buy Motorstorm -- which also has a ton of extras if you so wish -- and I've been very pleased with that purchase so far.
Anyone tried any of the new packs for Folklore yet? Are the worth it?
From Metacritic:
Playstation 3: Folklore (2007) 74
Will these extensions patch the big suck this game has?
For PS3 owners -- I recommend Elder Scrolls
Xbox 360: Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, The (2006) 94
Bethesda Softworks / 2K Games
Playstation 3: Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, The (2007) 93
Bethesda Softworks
Sure, its not as good as the Xbox 360 version (as usual), but if you dont have a Xbox 360, and only have a PS3, Oblivion is your best bet.
Or, just sell your Sony RIAA / MPAA player and get an Xbox 360 -- you'll have access to the best games that way. Oh, and Fable 2 is coming next year -- you know, the sequal to Fable 1 which has 8.5 / 10 on Metacritic, which you can play on EVERY SINGLE Xbox 360 in existence since they are *all* backwards compatible.
Certainly a better choice than that mediocre Folklore on PS3.
Cheers.
Was it me or was there a stealth update in "the worst PSN update for EU ever" because I found a new DLC pack last week that I hadn't purchased (Giving Keats a new outfit with top hat and tails, a new folk and a new quest or 2)
I love the game but some of the quests are infuriating as hell (especially the ones with time limits) and this is coming from someone who went through Ninja Gaiden on Master Ninja mode.
More DLC is always welcome in my book.
*EDIT* was the disagree to say that it wasn't a stealth update or is it just Wageslave being an ass (see above)
Folklore is a great game and unfortunatly so many greater games came out at the same time so this one got swept under the rug :(
Underrated game for sure. The upgrades are alright but the game on the disc is sweet enough if you don't want to buy any of the extras
they add stuff to keep you coming back. I think I'm starting to like next gen gaming lol
