Bethesda today released the next part of its Fallout 3 DLC, The Pitt, but warnings have come in from early downloaders to avoid this thing like the plague, because it's borked to Hell. Described as "completely broken" by one poster, and flagged as a "corrupted file" by a Dtoid community member, it sounds like this download needs to be avoided for now.
Giant floating exclamation marks seem to be the most striking phenomenon in The Pitt, although glitchy graphics and missing textures are also quite prominent. Raiders are showing "rainbow colors" on certain parts of their bodies, and that classic -- the complete game freeze -- is also rearing its ugly head with regularity.
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!
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.
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.

Fallout is a rare game that deals with the real life process of moving in a realistic way. What can be learned about how you should move out on your own from how you play Fallout?
I never thought of it like that.. Fallout 3 is still my best game ever,so wanting Fallout 4.
Personally I learned alot from Fallout, especially New Vegas' DLC
There are alot of hidden teachings and different perspectives in those games
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
I hope they fix this soon.
I really want to play this...
Geez Bethesda, wtf? Ever hear of QA?
That's pretty shocking, as Bethesda's games are almost always as polished as can be. Sure, games such as Oblivion and Fallout 3 have a few small bugs - it's expected when you consider how massive both thos games are - but 'broken'? I'm pretty surprised.
Bethesda makes good games. But every game they make has a lot of bugs. Bethesda should just stick with the Elder scroll series. Its a lot better then Fallout.
Im sure it will be fixed but people shouldnt touch this untill they get conformation that it works properly.
