Bethesda: No More Fallout 3 DLC
- Thread starter Andy Chalk
- Start date
Well, I guess everything must end at some point! Feel they picked a good point, with the addition of the GECK then leave it to those who know best - the players.
Perfect timing, right when fallout 3 was getting stale, they announce they're finished. And Borderlands is right around the corner, ready to fulfill all of my open world shooting/RPG needs.
I'm more worried about the rumors that the next TES will be an MMO.Psychosocial said:
They could've given the game a stronger end (something that really settled the "are you good/evil?" question) but I'm just glad we got something like BS which expanded the play and PL which expanded the environment.
I just hope Fallout New Vegas doesn't have any timed "exclusivity" that we have to try to read their minds about when it comes to the game or any dlc. I don't mind having to wait (or waiting further for delays), I just don't like being jerked around.

Shame it had to end on a bad note but still, could have been the pitt. All in all, a fine way to end the game, with an unknown element (commonwealth) for beth to use later. But it is a shame that Fallout 3 has had to end, so bring on New Vegas.

Haven't played Fallout 3 yet (planning to ASAP though), but they put out more DLC than most other companies, so bravo to them.
I wonder how much Bethesda's decision had to do with sales or lack of.
The one things that struck me as odd was...
I'm being serious. I don't know how many times developers have to reinvent the wheel before they realize that content is key and refining an existing engine is not necessarily a bad thing.

... then why not make a truly awesome sequel to Fallout 3 with the exact same engine? You know, since it's so much fun and all?

So they're not going to give another DLC to make up for rather large offense that was Mothership Zeta?
For the first time ever I have to say......I am dissappointed in, Bethesda.

Damn straight. That's apparently what Valve realized for Left 4 Dead, seeing as they kept the same engine for L4D2, allowing them to refine on their works to an insane degree and put out a sequel MUCH quicker than normally. Naturally, people started bitching as soon as that happened, because as we all know, change is Satan's instrument.Echolocating said:
The feeling I'm currently experiencing is a mixture between the euphoria you get after recovering from great, intense pain, and the morning after a brutal attack of a bowel related illness. Finally, it's over, Bethesda have stopped raping the Fallout franchise for a good few years. At least the modders made something decent out of that disjointed poorly written pap.

I agree with the "I thought they already said this" explinations above. Though I do like that they use DLC the way that game devs. should use it. Make a great game better. MW2 did it wrong. If you're going to charge 15 bucks for 4/5 maps, make them fresh, not 3 recycled from the first game. I'd pay 10 more for that if it had the 3 recycled maps, 5 new ones, and an add on to the story or co-op campaign parts. DLC is a way to (as Yahtzee says in his Orange Box review), make shorter games at lower prices more frequently. And then they can also make a game of the year addition if the game does well. FO3 is the perfect example of this, and I'm sure that we'll get something like this for FO:NV
This thread finished in 2009, why are you posting in it? Don't resurrect extremely old threads.CheckD3 said:
Well, yeah. I mean, first of all, they've already released like, 6 expansion packs. And secondly, the series has a new game coming out, so that's generally the procedure.
