So does this remove the level cap and allow you to continue after you complete the main story line?

I see no mention of it so I guess not.

Hellsvacancy5483d ago

Im stuck with the Ps3 version and as theres no Dlc 4 us (i was grittin my teeth when i wrote that) u would of atleast thought theyll remove the Level up cap

I just couldnt c the point in continuing on with the game 1nce youve reached 20Xp so i guess even if the Dlc came out on the Ps3 version i probably wouldnt of bought it due 2 the cap

I did get the Platinum trophy though so the extra achievements would possibly b worth it

cupogoodness5483d ago

The Level cap comes with the actual Broken Steel DLC released on May 5th, this is a title update in preparation for the content.

TheDude2dot05483d ago

Just don't start the final mission. There problem solved.

GiantEnemyCrab5483d ago (Edited 5483d ago )

Thanks for the feedback. Robondacob, that is exactly what I did I have a save without the last mission completed and have my character all jacked up. =)

Btw: I agree with the many Sony fans angry about not getting an update. DLC is one thing but a title update/bug fix should be made for all the platforms the game is on. I still think Bethesda will do a title update for the PS3 they are probably just busy with all the DLC work right now. Or maybe these fix bugs that aren't present or needed in the PS3 version?

pain777pas5482d ago

Bethesda is spitting in my face now. So some customers deserve better treatment, no patch for the PS3? Bethesda f$ck you!

Ozzyb5482d ago

The fixes are needed, they're just not being provided. There are definitely bugs in my PS3 version. I think it's lame to not at least fix bugs and make minor updates. Yeah, people paid $60 and that certainly does not include DLC, but it should include a properly working game.

thesummerofgeorge5482d ago

What the hell made them decide that only certain paying customers deserve a properly working product? Were they payed not to fix bugs in the Ps3 version? Or do they just arbitrarily favor customers who bought the 360 version. I'm really getting sick of this sh!t. I pay $60, $70, or $80 for a game I want it supported, it's bad enough they're getting payed off to withhold content from Ps3 owners.

broken Steel better be good.Operation Anchorage was a disaster for me

MasterBlaster5482d ago

Operation Anchorage was a big let down for me and The Pitt was just so so. I'm hoping Broken Steel can bring more of the awesome game that those failed to do.

maniacmayhem5483d ago

Would love to get that level cap off so i can start getting some XP from all the hackin and killin im doin.

Perjoss5483d ago

Beth kinda failed with the leveling in this game. Its easy to make a character that can do almost anything, so with 1 play through you leave no computer unhacked or safe unopen, they were simply too generous with the points you get from a level up. If i was forced to choose between a stealth guy or a tank type then i might play again to get the different experience.

I felt like it was an amazing game, especially the game world but at the same time it felt kind of unfinished, which is sad. VATS was interesting and for me at least it did not get boring using it, but it also felt like they could have expanded on it a little too.

MasterBlaster5482d ago

Even though Fallout 3's leveling system wasn't perfect, it was still much better than Oblivion's.

TheBand1t5483d ago

Y'know, it's not even the fact the PS3 isn't getting DLC that bothers me. It's the fact we don't get any patches. :/

Megaton5483d ago

No kidding, there are plenty of bugs that still need patching.

raztad5483d ago (Edited 5483d ago )

Yeah, I know what you mean.

My only Bethesda game so far is Oblivion IV cause it was dirty cheap, but Im not buying any more games from them. The treatment they are giving to Fallout III PS3 owners is disrespectful. Its like they are cheating on ps3 gamers. Bethesda should go MS exclusive as Valve did, and cheat not more PS3 owners with incomplete and buggy games. We always can get the superior version on the PC for FREE.

PotNoodle5482d ago

I know for a fact you're trolling when you say that, but it is true and it is terrible.

I don't usually jump straight to the decision of buying a multiplatform game on the 360 over the PS3, but when i bought it - without a second thought i bought it for the 360 instead.

iDystopia5482d ago

lol Xbox 360 is already almost 4 years old. PS3 is ALWAYS left 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."

ChasterMies8d ago

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

just_looken8d 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

CrimsonWing698d ago

I don’t think anything can compare to 2023

lucasnooker8d 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!

KyRo8d ago (Edited 8d 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.

CrimsonWing698d ago (Edited 8d 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.

Profchaos8d ago (Edited 8d 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_Frampt8d 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_looken8d 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.

SimpleSlave9d 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

Tacoboto9d 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

Inverno9d 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

isarai9d 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

anast10d 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.

LucasRuinedChildhood10d ago

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

VenomUK10d ago

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

I would’ve focused on the creative.

anast9d ago

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

gold_drake10d ago

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

anast9d 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.

Armaggedon10d ago

Not all games “look” current.

anast9d ago

Their games always look like the gen before it.

Armaggedon9d 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_drake9d ago

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

anast9d 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.
