Fallout 3 Broken Steel DLC Released, a Bit Broken
by Alice O'Connor, May 05, 2009 8:03am PDTUpdate: Broken Steel's PC installation issues are "a games for Windows Live DRM Install error", a Bethesda representative has told Shacknews. "Microsoft is working on fixing it, and we'll let everyone know once we've verified it."
Regarding the Xbox 360 achievement anomalies, "The Xbox Live servers don't seem to be fully synched yet with the additional achievements," Bethesda explains. "This should fix itself automatically soon. People won't lose any achievements."
Original: The third Fallout 3 downloadable content pack 'Broken Steel' has been released for the Xbox 360 and PC, and many PC gamers are finding it is, well, broken.
The Bethesda forums bear reports from a number of PC users that Broken Steel fails to install, giving the error message "Not a cryptographic message or the cryptographic message is not formatted correctly. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8009200D)."
For now, Broken Steel has been pulled from the Games for Windows Live Marketplace. Bethesda member 'Dermot'--victim of the bug himself--states "We are looking into it."
Bethesda is also looking into reports of the Xbox 360 version incorrectly rewarding and recording achievements--unfortunate but less irritating than The Pitt's launch woes.

Well this looks enjoyable enough.
Though it lacks the same field as Fallout 3 did and this field is the intelligent part,
The world of Fallout 3 makes perfect sense when viewed through the eyes of your average person but when seen by someone who got a bit of understanding of politics it is like being confined in the simplified world of children where things like “Pure evil” exists and there is rarely anything in between “good and evil”. Were all the politics can be summed up as they are the bad people and you have to have them “removed” because they are bad. And there is no complex and intricate political reason for why things happen as in Fallout ½ because this would make your average person fell discomfort and confusion, and because the main profit is made from this type of customer then of course the minority has to be ignored for the greater good of making profits.
How I enjoyed the smart part of Fallout ½ and how it had that quality only a few could spot and enjoy. Sure it was as buggy as hell and so unpolished that it was barely playable but with a heap of strategy guides I discovered the hidden parts of it! And I don’t think I will ever forget them.
The world of fallout ½ had real people that acted as real people and governments acted as humans really do. The politics of pre Fallout games (except the deeply hated game the: brother hood of steel) made sense. If some one with a more experienced mind ever gets their hands on the fallout fancies (the project V13 is clouded in uncertainty) then the only way to make the story still make sense is to say the Russians detonated a “Idiot Bomb” over the place fallout 3 happens.....

(So they will make more money by relishing it in a bad shape because then more people will buy it and people will buy it anyway knowing it will be patched shortly.)
So all you’re wining is making Bethesda lotsa bling bling. So they have generally found a way a way of turning your anger into pure money.

This was first, and I will bet my last, GFWL DLC purchase.
And now I'm stuck with extra points I have no use for.

I hate the stupid DLC trend. Sell whatever crap you want and call it DLC - that's what it is.
Back in the days of old we had 'expansion packs'. Anyone remember Starcraft: Brood War? DLC be damned! Bring back expansion packs!

It blows my mind that despite all of the developers complaining about the testing process, this kind of thing still slips through. Especially after last time.
