Fallout 3 And Oblivion Getting Double Pack

[Reyalsfeihc]

Maybe now that this doublepack is releasing certain retailers (*cough cough* BestBuy) will get their act together and lower the price on the Fallout 3 GOTY edition that I STILL haven't played yet T.T

Thou shall not talk about Mothership Zeta! So it's really 4 DLC. ;p

What's wrong with Mothership Zeta? I thought it was a pretty good DLC. Well, except for the fact that it completely unbalanced the game by making ultra-powerful weapons available from the start, but if you don't like that aspect, you can just wait until you've beaten the main game to start DLC, like I did.

EDIT: OT: Oh, forgot that I have to say something on the topic...

Um...

I guess I'll harp on the lack of DLC like everyone else.

Fallout 3 GOTY is about 20 bucks pre-owned at Gamestop. Oblivion is the same. So, that's 40 bucks total.

The DLC for Fallout 3 costs 10 dollars per DLC, and the ending of that game is pathetic without at LEAST Broken Steel. Add that to the 30 bucks for the game itself, and you get... 40 dollars!

So basically, just bite the bullet and shell out for the GOTY of each, because you're really not saving any money with this double-pack.

two games of the year in one box. win for me.

Games for Windows? Not interested...

Games for Windows is fine, it's Games for Windows Live that turns games into unplayable messes.

 

[GundamSentinel]

Maybe it's just me but, doesn't everybody have those games already?

Oh, and no DLC? Lame, very lame.

Already bought and finished both in their entirety a LONG time ago, if you really want to play these you are better off trying to get Game of the Year editions for them so you can get all the DLC, it might cost more but it would be worth it. That being said, this is probably single most time consuming double pack of all time, I love both of these games. Who cares if people are going to get a really good deal like 5 years post release? You know what some of that cash might fuel? The next Fallout and Elder Scrolls games, I paid full price because I didn't feel like waiting five fucking years for a cheap game.

I have both of them for PC and Xbox 360 anyway. But really? No DLC? That's just poor, it should be the Game of the Year editions.

 

[Chunko]

That much awesomeness cannot fit in one pack.

Is the PC version actually playable on windows 7? Or is it going to be like when I bought it retail then look it up on their forums where it's essentially said windows 7 wasn't released when the game was released so we are not supporting it

Oblivion GOTY works on Windows 7 64 Bit but sometimes it crashes on exit, not a huge problem as it doesn't crash during gameplay (atleast not for me). I am not sure about Oblivion Vanilla.

Something to consider is that the Oblivion DLC cannot be purchased on PC anymore. You either buy the GOTY edition or you don't get the DLC.

Double Post

Wow I lost interest as soon as it said no DLC are included.

This. Plus I'd be willing to be they didn't strip the DRM from FO3, anyway. Honestly, are they nuts?

Games for Windows? Not interested...

Games for Windows is fine, it's Games for Windows Live that turns games into unplayable messes.

Pretty sure FO3 has/had that, too (otherwise this [http://fallout3.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=1086] would have no reason to exist).

Brilliant! They ARE nuts

I have a vanilla copy of PC oblivion already and I can't find where they sell the DLC. Anyone wanna help me out?

 

[Tiswas]

Oblivion was just re-released last year in a 5 year anniversary edition wasn't it? This is what? The 4th time the exact same game has been re-released this gen? (regular, GOTY, 5th anniversary, double pack) and here people sit there blaming other companies.

 

[Unhappy Crow]

If I didn't purchase Fallout 3 a year ago, I would've bought...oh wait. There's no bundle pack for the PS3 version. Oh well.

Well actually Mothership Zeta hinted at reconning the great war, by saying...

Spoiler

the Aliens stole launch codes for warhead(or at least attempted). So they're saying it was humanity (USA and China)fault for the current state of the world, but instead it was the aliens.

That and I was hinting at the person's possible reason for claiming there is only 4 DLC.

Huh. If that's true, that would turn the canon into a total cluster****. Must have missed that message.

Oh well. The deal still isn't worth it.
