GameSpot: Fallout 3: Mothership Zeta Review

GameSpot writes: "You may have cringed at the idea of Fallout 3 in space, and if you have, you already know Mothership Zeta wasn't created with you in mind. Carrying alien zappers from space around the postapocalyptic wastelands while wearing samurai armor (another possible bit of loot you can carry back with you) certainly won't appeal to every Fallout aficionado. Open-minded fans will glean some enjoyment from this sci-fi-skinned dungeon crawler, but by isolating its game's weaknesses without catering to its strengths, developer Bethesda Game Studios has ended Fallout 3's run of downloadable content not with a bang, but a whimper".

Ouch, another failure for the Failbox.

-EvoAnubis-5385d ago

Which is a very stupid thing to say considering this content will also be on PSN.

-Mezzo-5385d ago

i was really looking forward to this but the reviews seems pretty bad. but i'll get it any way who knows i might enjoy it.

Megaton5385d ago

Okay so from what I gather from friends and media, Broken Steel and Point Lookout are the best, then comes The Pitt, and then either Anchorage or Zeta could be considered the worst.

I will be getting the GOTY Edition so it won't really matter to me. But I have played some of the DLC and I would partially agree.

Top 10 Weirdest Pieces of DLC This Generation

GamingUnion.net: "Downloadable content has become a rather permanent fixture in this generation as every developer is trying their best to keep gamers interested in their title and make some cash along the way. There are many different ways to do this too, such as map packs, alternate costumes, to full-blown expansions."

That horse armor DLC always makes me laugh.

mephman4018d ago

It still amazes me how many people bought this.

Mouktouk4018d ago

I strongly disagree with the author regarding the Metal Gear Solid database.

Not only Metal Gear Solid series cutscenes are far from being a torture like he seems to say, but MGSDB isn't necessary to understand the MGS story.

Yes, there's plenty of text. Yes, it may be complicated for whoever isn't fond of Metal Gear Solid. But it's a good addition if you want to know more about the series background, context and story.

Metal Gear Solid Database is more like an application or an interactive website than an actual DLC.

mydyingparadiselost4018d ago

This list makes me groan at the thought of next gen DLC.

admiralvic4018d ago

How is The Saboteur missing from this list? The MIdnight Show pretty much just added topless women...

Dark_Overlord4018d ago

Funny thing is I own the midnight show, however I'm unable to access it. EA shut the server pretty damn quick rendering the DLC useless :(

Could be the reason it's not present on this list as its unaccessable anymore.

Can I be bothered to go back to Fallout 3....

No

MasterD9194317d ago

And of course Skyrim's Dawngaurd DLC isn't in the mix...

TrendyGamers4317d ago

Most people have all this DLC already.

KingOfArcadia4316d ago

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.

FIX YOUR GAME FIRST, IT'S BEEN ALMOST 2 YEARS!

MrDead4372d ago

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.

Suddenbrain4372d ago

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.

Megaton4372d ago

Heard the DLC is unplayable on PS3.

MrDead4372d ago (Edited 4372d ago )

Only had big problems with Broken Steel save and reload if you have issues.

NastyLeftHook04372d ago

i played it. how is playing it unplayable? makes no sense to me.

Tru_Blu4372d ago

I got 100% on FO3. Great game but the main game is buggy as hell and the DLC is 10 times worse.

Megaton4372d ago

Yeah, I got a plat in F3, but I got YLoD before the DLC came out. Heard it was way more unstable than the main game, which was pretty bad itself.

colossi164372d ago

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.
