Fallout 3 Getting Two More DLC Expansions, PlayStation 3 Finally Receiving All DLC
by Chris Faylor, May 19, 2009 7:19am PDTTwo more downloadable expansions for Fallout 3 will arrive over the summer, developer Bethesda announced today, along with word that, beginning in late June, the PlayStation 3 will start to receive all of the Fallout 3 downloadable DLC announced thus far.
Left, Broken Steel. Right, The Pitt.
"Operation: Anchorage will be released for PS3 in late June, followed by the release of The Pitt and Broken Steel 4-6 weeks apart," said Bethesda. "Release dates will be forthcoming." Previously, that DLC was exclusive to the PC and Xbox 360.
As for the two new downloadable episodes, here's what we know:
- Point Lookout (Late June for PC and Xbox 360 - 800 MS Points / $10)
Explore a massive new swampland area filled with new quests and content.
- Mothership Zeta (Late July for PC and Xbox 360 - 800 MS Points / $10)
The aliens have returned, and they're pissed. Experience an alien abduction first hand and find out if you're tough enough to survive.
Point Lookout will hit PS3 "after the first three DLCS have been released," with the PS3 release of Mothership Zeta set to arrive after Point Lookout hits the platform.
In addition, a Fallout 3 Game of the Year edition will hit retailers in October, packing the original version of the post-apocalyptic action-RPG along with the five add-ons. The PC version will sell at $49.99, with the Xbox 360 and PS3 iterations priced at $59.99.
The PC and Xbox 360 downloadable content will also hit retail in the form of disc-based Fallout 3 Game Add-on Packs. The first, due May 26, contains The Pitt and Operation: Anchorage, with the August-due second including Broken Steel and Point Lookout.
Downloads of Point Lookout and Zeta will be sold via retail "token cards" as well.
"Retail versions of the game add-on packs for PS3 are not possible and the DLC will only be available for download online via PlayStation Network," added Bethesda.

I beat this pretty boring (Oblivion-with-guns) game in about 16 hours. Meanwhile I logged about 80 hours in Oblivion.
My big question is this. "The aliens have returned"?????? What aliens? I never knew this game had anything to do with them, or saw any quests or anything that eluded to them (other than some weird looking things in the Enclave base towards the end).

Let us speak as honest men, however. Broken Steel ended way too soon. It was, like, three missions and done. I finished the final step (don't know how to do that cool grey-out for spoilers so I'll leave it at that) and then sat around waiting for the next shoe to drop.
I thought the title said it all. "Broken Steel". Where was the battle between the Outcasts and the Brotherhood based in the Pentagon? I honestly thought the mop-up of Enclave forces was like the first temple scene from Raiders of the Lost Ark: It was going to set the pace, and then the real story would emerge later.
Instead it was over. I loved the time it lasted, but way, way too short. Combining this expansion with The Pitt and Anchorage, it's been $30 for something that was nowhere near half the size and scope of the original Fallout 3 content.
I don't think that new weapons or albino scorpions tip the scales, either. I love the guys at Bethesda. I have bought every single Elder Scrolls game. However, these are the guys that gave us Horse Armor as downloadable content. They created the meme of the worthless add-on.
I think that I will wait for lower prices or an indication that these new adventures are a little broader in scale.

Fallout 3 was not a bad game by all means, it's just that it's not fallout, it's just a game with the same name, but aliens? that's taking it a bit to far.
I guess that Bethesda has finally probed the depths of the franchise.

On the other hand, I'm still kind of ticked that I had to wait for the whole 'exclusive' thing to wear off. I feel like a second hand customer who isn't as important since I am different.

I still love you Bethesda and your games, just not your business model.

Due to my completionist nature, I don't want to miss ANYTHING. The problem is, you WILL miss things, probably a LOT of things. But it drives me crazy, and leads me to obsessive savegame hording at crossroad moments, going to areas I shouldn't....
Eventually I get distracted, and the thought of going back and trying to remember all these areas I've been, places I want to go, things I want to go back to is just overwhelming, and I never return.
I want to. I might, some day. But the cycle will repeat itself.

I wish more of the expansion stuff tied into existing content. I liked the water quests in Broken Steel.
