Ultimately, it's the die-hard Fallout 3 fans that should enjoy this new chapter in the series' history, and those same fans who may end up slightly annoyed after the fact. Operation Anchorage doesn't answer many questions regarding the lead-up to the big war, but it's an interesting piece of the puzzle that fits into the overall game without feeling out of place. It feels like a lot of money for just a couple hours of entertainment, but considering that Fallout 3 is already a great value, it's hard to balk at the price.
Acclaimed add-ons for Bethesda classics Oblivion and Fallout 3 have become available at bargain bin prices on Xbox Live.
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.
Bethesda announced today via the Bethblog that all Fallout 3 and New Vegas content packs would be going on sale for PS3 users from May 16 through May 30th. Both Fallout 3 and New Vegas add-ons will be discounted, unfortunately this deal is only for the European PlayStation Network.
I love these games but they do drive me insane, save often or you could lose a lot of hard work when it crashes and it always does.
Broken Steel is by far the most broken of the DLC when I'm in the main courtyard of the steel works the game almost stutters to a halt.
A good tip, if your game starts to slow bring up your pipboy for a few seconds and it seems to sort out the problem, works better in New Vegas.
Maybe I'm not disappointed that this isn't available in the US then. I haven't played any of the DLC yet but just assumed bugs would have been worked out by now. That's pretty sad if it is still broken.
Only had big problems with Broken Steel save and reload if you have issues.
I remembered Europe already had a discount on Fallout dlc shortly after ps plus started. I would've purchased all the dlc and get 100% of the trophies. Too bad.
That’s right, buy one get one free used Fallout games at GoHastings. Get two titles from the Fallout series for the price of one when you use the special coupon code. You can choose from any of the latest Fallout Games for the Xbox 360, like Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas and Fallout 3 Game Add-On Pack: The Pitt and Operation: Anchorage. This Fallout BOGO sale won’t last for long, so hurry up and grab a couple of copies of everyone’s favorite post-apocalyptic shooter game.
Decent review. I only played half of it so far and enjoying it thus far but he is right as it's not like the rest of the game with the main theme in this is shooting up people and yes no simpaks :(
I was initially very upset to learn that there would not be DLC for the PS3 version, and kept feeling that the game I was playing would end up being the 'incomplete', 'substandard' version.
But I thoroughly enjoyed the 50+ hours I spent with the game, nevertheless. And although right now I still do wish the PS3 had the DLC, I kinda feel like I've gotten all I wanted out of the gameplay, the story, etc.
In other words, I've gotten my fill of FO3. Missing out on the DLC isn't that painful anymore, although I do find myself wondering how fun it would have been to play through it.
I appreciate how Bethesda crammed so much into the original release that after finishing all the sidequests, I really feel sated on FO3 goodness, such that I'm not really left hungering for more.
This, in my opinion, should be the right way to release DLC. Make sure the original release is good enough to stand on its own, then make some more DLC for those who want more.
Meanwhile, it's time to devote my attention to the other games that have been neglected!
Three point flop out of five
I dont see why PS3 fans should feel upset about missing DLC for old games... If you pay a 1/4 of the games price for DLC you are buying DLC that doesnt contain a 1/4 worth of stuff the original package had...
PLUS... For every exclusive DLC the 360 gets the PS3 gets an exclusive game... I know which one I would rather have...
I should really pick fallout 3 up... It was £20 for PS3 but my friend got a bug where he was unable to finish the game so I looked for a 360 copy... AND FAILED!
Looks like Ps3 owners are not really missing anything here.
