I noticed the slight twist you pulled on the title :/

Bombibomb5757d ago

Yeah tell me about it lol. Not to mention Microsoft paid for the exclusive DLC. -___-

Genesis55757d ago

Exactly. It was thing to do the. Because MS probably paid about 50 mil to aquire this.

InMyOpinion5757d ago

“We felt [PC and 360 exclusivity] was the right thing to do for Fallout 3.” is what he said.

decapitator5757d ago

Its amazing how money can sway some of the industries most smartest people into nothing but tools.

StephanieBBB5757d ago

This DLC is more than likely not to be free but still it's a nice choice to have when you have completed fallout 3 and seen all the 200 endings it has...

SolidLiquidSnake5757d ago

Completly nonsense! This is not nothing right to do! I think every gamer has the right of playing this DLC! Unless be honest and said that this DLC was a deal whith MS!

gaffyh5757d ago

I don't know about you guys, but I don't care about DLC at all. I mean I got GTA4 for 360, but I AM NOT going to buy the DLC. What's the point of buying a game for £40 and then having to pay for DLC? Completely not worth buying.

Ghoul5757d ago

twisting titles like you did should result in a temporary ban imo....

Unreal_Liquid_Jonte5757d ago

its not 200 endings, its 500 endings........finish the game 500 times to get every achievements, thats soooooooooooo overkill *.*

xhairs95757d ago

Why does it seem that Microsoft constantly "donates" money for exclusive DLC on the games that need it the least? I'm sorry but GTA4? I highly doubt the statistics will prove that to have worked out for the DLC considering the game was boring/reptitive/looked like crap in some areas/etc. etc.

Now this Fallout 3 game? The game is 100+ hours long, has multiple endings out the wazooo and now they're buying dlc for it? Give me a break this game IS dlc...man microsoft are some idiots don't they see all they're doing is iritating us with all the money they throw out? it's not going to make me buy and xbox 360 because you keep buying all the DLC it's going to make me kill your boss.

AuToFiRE5757d ago

I wonder what would happen if M$ ran out of money..

that is actually quite ingenious(for M$, not the consumer).. ship the 360 with small hard drives, buy all the content you possibley can, make them fill up those small hard drives, make them buy bigger hard drives to download more stuff, hmm..

Overr8ed5757d ago

yea who didnt notice that... Trying to start a freaking forest fire.

StephanieBBB5757d ago (Edited 5757d ago )

oops sry my bad xP

This DLC doesn't bother me at all though but if at some random point they would choose to make achievements for the Xbox360 and skip trophies for the PS3, THEN! There would be hell to pay for both M$ and Bethesda!

Gam715756d ago

And how do you experts with your insider knowledge know M$ paid for this?

Talk about grasping at straws. Are you that desperate that you have to attack.

You have a good game on the ps3 to play now, play it and stop showing your insecurities.

Nice headline VG247, like how you've twisted it. Very smart....

Perhaps blocking VG247 from N4G is the "right thing to do".

predator5757d ago

yeah i slight twist on the title...

back on topic...bethesda had a few problems with DLC for Oblivion (is shiviering ilse out yet even?) so im not really suprised they left out the ps3 as "the right thing to do"

SixTwoTwo5757d ago (Edited 5757d ago )

Shivering Isles has been on the PSN since last November ;)

I don't live in europe.

Baka-akaB5757d ago

twist ? i dont care about the DLC but isnt that what he basically said ? he should just have choosen his word a bit more carefully .

clintos595757d ago

The game is still coming to the ps3 and I think 100+ hours of gameplay for this game is enough. Wont be needing extra DLC.

predator5757d ago

tell that to the people that play Oblivion

clintos595757d ago

u guys said the same thing about GTA4, and I got alot of friends that bought that game and yet, they are all back to playing call of duty 4, gears of war, halo 3. I dont think the DLC will be as important as u 360 only owners are making it out to be.

It is a big deal to u guys but u gotta remember there are other big games coming around that same time aswell.

predator5757d ago

if thats the case then the Oblivion DLC wouldn't of been the hit that it was, the same will go for Fallout 3

Shortstop5757d ago

Not sure how much I'll care. I still own both Oblivion and GTA, yet I haven't been bothered to beat either yet. Seems to me, personally, if the game isn't MGS, then it will be pushed aside a month or so later for a better game anyways.

Still, it can't be the "right thing to do," when clearly it's just because money changed hands.

Gam715756d ago

Lol, clearly is it?

Where? how do you know?
Is that what happened with £ony and alone in the dark?
They paid for it?

Of course as soon as £ony go back to their old ways and paying for extras (they did don't act like they never) then it will be fine.

KBDuB5756d ago

I have played Oblivion MANY times, and the addition of the DLC like KotN were a very welcome addition to the game. So, if Fallout 3 has DLC like KotN, then it may be worth the purchase..

solidsnakus5756d ago

hey this is nothing to brag about but i had over 120 hours in oblivion. i cant beleive my xbox held out for that long lol. but it was an amazing game. unfortunately i sold it before shivering isles came out.

Looking Back At 2008, An Unbelievably Incredible Year Of Video Game Releases

Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."

ChasterMies3d ago

Some of these low paid video game “news” writers weren’t born before 2007.

just_looken3d ago

Here here

Those that were around before 2000's i am sure are like me that think we entered a world of non readers or those that follow without question.

I can not wait to see fallout 3 a goty game even though it was about water with non content until you add the dlc/updates then you got the performance/crashing

CrimsonWing694d ago

I don’t think anything can compare to 2023

lucasnooker4d ago

1998 - the best year in gaming! Metal gear solid, crash bandicoot 3, medievil, half life, ocarina of time, thief, tenchu, resident evil 2, Spyro, tomb raider 3, oddworld abes exodus, banjo kazooie.

It was a different breed of a gaming era. You’ll never understand what it was like back then. The aura of gaming, it was different!

KyRo4d ago (Edited 4d ago )

I second this. Gaming was a lot more varied and fun than it is today. I'm 35 so getting on compared to some here but I got to see all the changes from NES up to now but I've never felt so disappointed in any generation than I have this current gen. I was expecting more from this generation rather than prettier versions of games that came before it. Game mechanics have become so refined that alot of games feel the same and has done for a while now.

Maybe it's time to have a break for a while. I love gaming but I don't feel I get much fun in the traditional sense out of it anymore.

CrimsonWing694d ago (Edited 4d ago )

Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 2, Abe’s Exodus, and Ocarina of Time are the only things from that list that I liked.

Here’s the 2023 game releases that I personally liked… and big releases that I didn’t care for:

- Dead Space Remake
- Wo Long Dynatsy
- Resident Evil 4 Remake
- Diablo 4
- Fire Emblem Engage
- Hogwarts Legcay
- Street Fighter 6
- Hi-Fi Rush
- Like a Dragon: Ishin
- Octopath Traveler 2
- Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters
- Final Fanatsy XVI (actually ended up not liking this, but it was still a big deal release)
- Baldur’s Gate 3
- Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon
- Lies of P
- Mortal Kombat 1
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
- Starfield (Ended up hating this one, but big release)
- Super Mario Bros. Wonder
- Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (I’m an old-school Zelda fan, but didn’t really enjoy this game)
- Alan Wake 2

I mean, honestly I’ve never seen a year of major IP releases like that, ever.

Profchaos4d ago (Edited 4d ago )

Isn't it just a generational thing realistically.

I've been gaming since way back and I some of my favourite games go as far back as the late 80s for me each generation has a year or two of game changing releases one after another before an inevitable dry spell.

I kind of agree gaming had a different feel games hit different because we didn't have the internet nothing got spoiled and you really had to put in the effort to beat a puzzle which could set entire groups of people looking for a solution. But most importantly games were experimental and not as cookie cutter as today even basics like controls were not universal today r2 is shoot l2 is ads garunteed you can't deviate from that in a shooter back then it could of been square, R1 or R1 and circle nothing was standard.

But as time moves on a new generation picks up their controller they are going to be interested in different things that PS1 demo disc with the t Rex blew our primitive 16 bit brains back on launch but to kids today it's laughable.
The new gen of kids coming into to hobby seem to value different things to us there seems to be a huge focus on online play, streamers, gaming personalities, and social experiences, convience of digital downloads. To me I value none of that but that's ok like my parents not liking the band's I would listen to its just the natural cycle.

Gameseeker_Frampt3d ago

Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.

2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.

just_looken3d ago

It still amazes me we got over 7 rockstar games ps2/ps3 but 3 for the ps3/ps4/ps5

Dragon age 1-3 and mass effect 1-3 in 7ish years what a generation.

Now is the Best Time to Get This Incredible RPG Bundle on Steam

If you are looking for an awesome RPG, look no further. Steam is offering a significant discount on its Fallout Franchise Bundle.

SimpleSlave4d ago

"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

Tacoboto4d 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

Inverno4d 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

isarai4d ago

Bro that's a ridiculous ripoff are you kidding me? 🤣

Fallout 3's Reveal Led To Death Threats And Bethesda's First Security Guard

The artist behind Fallout 4’s Deathclaw reveals just how bad things got back when Bethesda took over the series

anast6d ago

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.

LucasRuinedChildhood6d ago

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

VenomUK5d ago

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

I would’ve focused on the creative.

anast5d ago

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

gold_drake5d ago

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

anast5d 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.

Armaggedon5d ago

Not all games “look” current.

anast5d ago

Their games always look like the gen before it.

Armaggedon4d 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_drake4d ago

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

anast4d 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.
