Msxbox-world raises the issue about the cost of downloadable content for Fallout 3, and that gamers are paying a hefty price for a mere 2 hours of additional gameplay.

2 hours of gameplay?? What?

Vecta6303d ago

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

original seed6302d ago

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

MSXBOX-World disappointing website.

Silellak6302d 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.

dragunrising6302d 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.

rawd6303d ago

2 hours, are you kidding me

Nexy6303d ago

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

Pennywise6303d 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.

MGOelite6303d ago

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

marichuu6303d 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.

IdleLeeSiuLung6303d 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!

Halochampian6302d ago

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

SL1M DADDY6302d 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.

Would be nice if they had New Vegas ready as well, especially because of the show.

Hopefully this doesn't have the same performance issues as Oblivion Remastered.

cloganart111d ago

I haven't seen anything on these performance issues? What's been going on?

walken7111d ago

Probably the Unreal Engine issues, I skipped it for that reason.

Snookies12112d ago (Edited 112d ago )

Throw in all the DLC as well, like Oblivion and I'll definitely bite. I recall having one trophy left to unlock on the PS3 version with 100+ hours in my save. When my save file got corrupted, lol. Very sad day.

To be fair though, Bethesda was trash at Playstation ports anyway.

Michiel1989111d ago

all devs sucked at porting to ps3 for the first like 3 years because no one had experience with the cell architecture. Even 1st party took a long while to get proficient with it, the difference between uncharted 1 and 3 is massive for example.

Extermin8or3_112d ago

Oh oh oh I can do this too. GTA 7 will be made at some point in the future. Fallout 5 will enter development in the future too

jznrpg112d ago

Everyone there should know most gamers want New Vegas and Morrowind more than anything.

Christopher111d ago

Which is why we won't get them. Gotta keep floating "support this one and it might happen".

BlaqMagiq1111d ago

Can't wait. Won't have to go back to my PS3 to play this when it comes out.

Fallout 3 remastered on the Nintendo Switch 2 is what we deserve, not the worst Fallout game

Fallout Day's disappointing news that Fallout 4 is coming to Switch 2 is a shame, as this 17-year-old entry is more deserving of a new port.

Why exactly do you think you deserve it??

Phoenix76184d ago

Fallout 4 isn't the worst game in the franchise. It's either Fallout 76 or Fallout BOS that's the worst.

gigoran8183d ago

PC and all other modern consoles never got a remaster of 3, but obviously the switch 2 was the tipping point to make it a reality... ahuh

1nsomniac183d ago

Meh, I thought 3 was garbage. I'm not a great fan of the franchise to be fair. They're like B-Movie films, really shallow and janky. 4 was definitely one of the better ones though.

UltimateOwnage183d ago

So the article makes a snippy entitled statement and acts like that is going to encourage a publisher to give them what they want. Okay.

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

ZeekQuattro371d 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.
