GameSpy: Fallout 3: The Pitt Preview

GameSpy has played a lot of Fallout 3. Between the main game and the first piece of DLC, they've logged close to 100 hours, and they still find themselves hopping into the Wasteland from time to time for a bit of the ol' ultraviolence. Needless to say, they were pretty excited to check out The Pitt (the second piece of DLC that will be released in March) earlier today at the D.I.C.E. Summit. While they really enjoyed Operation: Anchorage, GameSpy agreed with Gerald's assertions that it really didn't feel like the Fallout 3 that they fell in love with late last year. This was mainly due to the fact that it felt a lot more like a straight-up shooter than an RPG, and while that's not really a bad thing, it's also not what Fallout 3 is all about. Thankfully, The Pitt feels exactly like the main game, as you'll be able to level up your character, hack terminals, pick through garbage cans for sustenance, and generally do whatever it is you like to do.

Spiffy:
* Same great Fallout 3 gameplay GameSpy knows and loves
* New weapons and enemies
* Nice variety of environments

Iffy:
* Is 4-5 hours of gameplay worth $10 to you?

10 Expansions That Are Better Than The Main Game

NoobFeed Editor Joshua Burt writes - It is now a mainstay of gaming that post a title's release, and DLC will accompany the game. Some of the most popular games of the last fifteen years have followed this practice. But there are some DLCs that are better than others. That stands on the shoulders of their base game, and in some cases… Surpass it. These are the 10 expansions that were better than the main game.

Damn, I feel stupid when years ago I played all the dlc for fallout 3 except the pitt. My younger ass looked at it and thought it was boring without trying I believe... Well good reason to fire up the old dusty ps3!

PhillyDillyDee698d ago

Bethesda usually does great DLC. Makes sense they are on the list 3 times.

Solid list, I'd add inFamous: Festival of Blood, although it was a standalone download, it still felt like an inFamous 2 expansion.

Blood and Wine might be the best ever though.

SullysCigar698d ago

I'd also add in Horizon The Frozen Wilds. As I started it, I wasn't sure I had the energy, but my God that was awesome. Some of the best weapons, enemies and missions in Horizon for sure.

Blood and Wine is always the reason these "best DLC of all time" list gets made in the first place nowadays.
Don't think CDPR can come any where near with any upcoming CP2077 DLC.

Silly Mammo698d ago

I have beaten Bloodborne but though i have the DLC I never played through it. For now I want to wait and see if it gets a Bluepoint remake.

anast698d ago

It's the best DLC in the genre. You are missing out.

SarwarRon698d ago

I double that. If you've liked Bloodborne, don't miss out The Old Hunters.

I skipped on Demons Souls remake, but Bloodborne would be day one. I love the game, but it is very, very jaggy and really needs a 60fps edition.

anast698d ago

I didn't like Blood and Wine too much, but the grandmaster gear is worth it.

I never thought of it like that.. Fallout 3 is still my best game ever,so wanting Fallout 4.

Omnisonne3537d ago

Personally I learned alot from Fallout, especially New Vegas' DLC

There are alot of hidden teachings and different perspectives in those games

Matt6663536d ago

Oh yea its fine considering on Fallout you don't have to pay for the following;

mortgage,
water bills,
gas bills,
electric bills,

I wouldn't really say it taught me to move out, but I would say it has taught me other stuff like how to barter etc
