PS3 owners shouldn't buy Fallout 3 DLC

You might think to yourselves, dear PS3 owners, that you've waited long enough and want to buy that DLC right away. But not so fast!

Fallout 3 best non-ninja game in next gen.

Twizlex6216d ago

I foresee a few disagrees in your future... but not from me at least.

Vault Boy6216d ago

Well obviously I'm not going to disagree lol!

h0tz0rz6216d ago

Ya know, I really liked the game but PS3 owners kinda get shafted with the DLC. I think we should just not buy it out of spite.

Milk is for Babies6216d ago

Game of the Year edition would be great for christmas. They get to sell the game through 2 holidays instead of just 1.

L80BelfDK6216d ago

I don't think I could wait to play the DLC even though we had to wait this long for it to come out in the first place. I want it asap.

Omegasyde6216d ago (Edited 6216d ago )

I would save purchasing the expansions for when there is gaming drought.

The Ps3 won't really have a gaming drought outside of FPS.

EDIT: Actually, July for the North America won't really have any game worth playing. Perhaps buy it then?

Twizlex6216d ago

Actually, I'd wait until October :)

sonarus6216d ago

Didn't buy for 360 won't be buying for PS3

bunbun7776216d ago

Based on what I have heard about the first two packs, and that the third one will bump it to 30, I will probably wait till all 3 packs are available, hopefully discounted.

See you all have good reasons to dismiss exclusive DLC and Beth-- but Fallout 3 to me is a great game, and with possible trophy support.... you can bet your a$$ i will buy~

BLuKhaos6216d ago

I wasn't planning on buying the DLC anyways.Now when does the "Game of the Year" version come out again?

Immortal Kaim6216d ago

Here is an idea, if you enjoy the game and want to expand on it, buy the DLC. If you don't care about Fallout 3 or don't want to expand on it, don't buy the DLC. Simple really...

Hellsvacancy6216d ago

All of it - i loved Fallout 3 :-)

caladbolg7776216d ago (Edited 6216d ago )

Good article. Good read. Good suggestion. But I'd even take it a step further. I'll buy the GOTY edition USED from the bargain bin in 2010.

pixelsword6216d ago (Edited 6216d ago )

Did they even fix that bug where you couldn't return to the rest of the world after accepting that last mission on the PS3?

You'd probably get the DLC and would have to start from scratch just to play it.

Best $60 I never spent.

Has anyone even heard of this website until they clicked on this link?

I haven't.

Well anyways, if it floats your boat, shove off and get the DLC.

I may get Fallout 3... in 2010.

December 2010 perhaps.

SL1M DADDY6216d ago

I might as well wait for the compilation version to come out then buy it used a few months later. Sorry, but the way Bethesda has been treating PS3 owners lately, I could give a spit about them. Heck, I played their other titles on the Xbox and Xbox 360 but the way they have treated PS3 owners makes me sick.

xwabbit6216d ago

Im not buying it that's 4 sho

Bgibbs6216d ago

It's not a bug, if you chose to be the hero and go in, you die, they stated that pretty clearly in the text in that part. If you send someone else in, you can continue the game. Also, with the broken steel DLC, you can send in Fawkes and no one dies =]. (PC f@g, not 360)

tordavis6216d ago

If you don't buy it, you are justifying Bethesda's reason to make the DLC a timed exclusive.

poopface16216d ago

NO CRAP, really. You Never wanted to play the game so im not surprised you wouldnt want it. I rented fallout 3 on 360 last year and I really liked it. I havent purchased the DLC because I dont even have the game.

But if you enjoyed F3 then I dont see why you would not even be happy to get the opportunity. I wouldnt buy the DLC because Id rather wait on the edition with it all on the disk. But from what Ive seen this is actually some good DLC. If your a fan of the game It seems like a good deal.

I would have waited to get the 3rd one anyway before geting the other 2, since you have a higher level cap. If you can wait(or have to wait) then its probably better to get tham all together for cheaper someday anyway.

Like some of you Ill probably buy the GOTY edition with all the DLC included. But if you a fan of the game youll probably buy it, but if your a fanboy then you flame bethesda all day long regardless of if you even liked fallout 3.

Better late than never. Mabe itll be a little cheaper for the ps3 guys. That would be nice.

The Lazy One6216d ago

is the PS3 GOTY edition going to have the 360 content included?

Sarcasm6216d ago

"If you don't buy it, you are justifying Bethesda's reason to make the DLC a timed exclusive. "

I agree and disagree. If they released the DLC on time without this stupid "exclusive" nonsense, maybe they would have sold more DLC on the PS3 version as well?

However, now that it's too late for that. Yeah if PS3 owners don't buy the DLC, Bethesda will see it as a lost profit or wasted effort.

But it's really a lose-lose situation since they made it "exclusive" in the first place. So who's to blame for low sales of the DLC? Bethesda themselves.

Don't make it like it's the gamers fault.

budbundystyles6216d ago

How do you figure? Bethesda knew PS3 owners would wait til GOTY edition, that's what your saying? Based off of what exactly?

n to the b6216d ago

@Cookigaki: does the lvl 18 Ninja Perk count though? ;)

@all of u who said u love Fallout 3: agrees all around! check out my comments over there >>>, if u are on the fence about the DLC and want to know a little bit more. ...if u dare to visit the Open Zone, that is! MWAHAHA!! :)

Vault Boy6216d ago

That's actually a good idea. If I didn't already buy some of the DLC for the 360 version, I might wait also.

PirateThom6216d ago

If they make the saves for the regular edition carry over to the GOTY edition, it would probably sell a ton more.

Twizlex6216d ago

Do you know that they won't carry over or are you just stating an opinion?

PirateThom6216d ago (Edited 6216d ago )

Just stating an opinion. I don't think the Oblivion GOTY carried over saves, sadly.

To Vault Boy: In theory, but I've played the game through about three times now, so I'd like to be able to jump straight into the "DLC", if you know what I mean...

Twizlex6216d ago

Ah, well there's still a glimmer of hope then.

Vault Boy6216d ago

I was actually saying it would suck if the saves didn't carry over. Sorry if that didn't come across properly. I definitely agree with you.

PirateThom6216d ago

Oh, sorry, with you now! :P

ThatCanadianGuy6216d ago

I would have bought it if it came out around the same time as 360's version.But im done with Fallout 3 now, got my platinum, i'm happy.

Whatever DLC i missed and future DLC to come, Bethesda can shove right up their ***

Vault Boy6216d ago

Awww, come on, guy! You know you want to experience that DLC.

Omegasyde6216d ago

For those who first purchased the game ~7 months ago, might of lost interest in it by now.

i.e. GTA4 DLC.

Bethesda and Microsoft actually timed the DLC great. Not too soon, not too late.

OGharryjoysticks6216d ago (Edited 6216d ago )

That's right, you shouldn't. You should spend that money on a cheap whore in the neighborhood instead of getting sloppy seconds after Microsoft :)

EDIT- Omegasyde, you're ruining my joke pretending to take it seriously. But seriously, the local whore is better than the Bethesda whore who should have put whatever they had on the bluray disc instead of catering to the DVD size and then going along with the jerk-off and preventing the only ones who could have had the content all along to wait.

On a side note...there's a story posted here from earlier that says supposedly MS could have up to a TB of storage on the next system they release like they want a big d!ck now. LOL

Omegasyde6216d ago

I was satisified with the content that came on the Fallout 3 disc.

HOWEVER.... The endings were so stupid and cheap.

Great climax, horrible money shot.

Tony P6216d ago

"I was satisified with the content that came on the Fallout 3 disc.

I see a lot of this with Western devs. The Japanese seem to have them beat as far as endings go. Maybe I'm spoiled by JP games, but how annoying is it to beat a game in 8-10 hours and get a 30-second ending? Bioshock is a prime offender too iirc: great in-game storytelling, absolutely poor endings. I'm not asking for MGS-long endings, I'm just saying...more than a freakin' minute.

Sarcasm6216d ago

"I'm not asking for MGS-long endings, I'm just saying...more than a freakin' minute. "

PREACH ON.

I agree 100%

Fallout 3 has the cheapest, paste on endings i've ever played in a video game. Hell, SNES games has better endings than that crap.

However, me and my friend concluded that Fallout 3's best experience is the journey itself, not the ending.

n to the b6216d ago

I have to disagree I think Fable 2 is the new worst offender. all that work gathering your 3 Heroes only to... well, I guess I shouldn't 'spoil' it here.

although on the other hand, since u can continue playing Fable 2 after the ending with new quests & mansions, u could consider all that after-play to be part of the ending and then it doesn't suck quite as bad. but then of course, on the other OTHER hand, now that u can do the same with Fallout 3 DLC (keep playing after the 'ending')it's still way better, right??

Fallout 3 Remaster Is Allegedly Planned For Release At Some Point In The Future

A remaster of Bethesda Game Studios' 2008 action role-playing game, Fallout 3, is planned for release at some point in the future.

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.

cloganart139d ago

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

walken7139d ago

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

Snookies12140d ago (Edited 140d 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.

Michiel1989140d 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_140d 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

jznrpg140d ago

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

Christopher139d ago

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

BlaqMagiq1140d 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.

jambola212d ago

Why exactly do you think you deserve it??

Phoenix76212d ago

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

gigoran8212d 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

1nsomniac211d 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.

UltimateOwnage211d 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.

Fallout 3 designer expects remaster to revise gunplay to make it closer to Fallout 4

Fallout 3 game designer Bruce Nesmith explains that the upcoming remaster should revise the game's gunplay to be more modern.

neutralgamer1992399d ago

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

ZeekQuattro399d 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.
