You will give away the surprise for version 4.0. :)

tdrules5272d ago

Fallout 3 is a tenner cheaper on Steam.
so much fail I can not contain it.

Elven65272d ago

Who cares about the $10 difference, the real fail lies in that it isn't even the GOTY edition that comes with the DLC!

mcgrawgamer5272d ago

downloaded the client and quickly deleted it after seeing what MSFT was trying to give consumers. the only game that can't be had from other sources (possibly for a better value) is the free game they are giving away.

Charmers5272d ago

I think what is more wow is the fact this is SEVEN years late. We have after all had games on demand for the PC since 2003 (even earlier if you count shareware like Doom).

At the end of the day another half hearted pathetic attempt at MS to do just enough NOT to help the PC but to try and hinder anyone else that might want to make a go of PC gaming.

The best thing MS can do now is kill GFWL and leave the PC market altogether but that isn't going to happen is it ? After all it's the PC OS that is bank rolling their console.

I won't be using GFWL on demand the prices are extortionate, the DRM draconian and the games are luck lustre and have no interest to me whatsoever. Well done MS on doing such a pathetic job of things seriously could you guys have got any lazier ?

Tony P5272d ago

GFWL has always been to me the client they half-heartedly continue to develop since PC gamers refused to be charged for online MP.

edoman205272d ago

wow a retard comment

someone else?

Yeah M$$$$$$ always thiking in their customers

Better kill this Sh1t, pc have MUCH better services

Elven65272d ago

If you're on PC you don't need to pay for GFWL to play online, infact you never did. You only had to pay for certain features which included playing multiplayer games with console features. It's all free now though.

I Have A Confession, I Like The Fallout 3 Green Filter

The game looks too clean without it.

How about you actually SHOW wtf you're talking about

Nacho_Z3d ago

Always annoying when articles do that.

I agree with them that the tv show was a bit on the clean side. They got loads right regarding set design etc but there's room for improvement.

gold_drake3d ago

i dont. it hurts my eyes. but im fairly ssensitive when it comes to that sort of stuff.

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

just_looken27d 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

CrimsonWing6928d ago

I don’t think anything can compare to 2023

lucasnooker28d 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!

KyRo28d ago (Edited 28d 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.

CrimsonWing6928d ago (Edited 28d 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.

Profchaos28d ago (Edited 28d 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_Frampt27d 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_looken27d 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.
