Fallout 3 Options

[Scan_Man]

I think this is my Game of the Year. The game is by Bethesda Softwords the same developer that brought us the Elder Scrolls games.

What can I say this game has all the greatness of Oblivion. Though things like stats are simplified and classes are more less or less how you wish to interact in the world (for example do you want to be a gun nut, or going around repairing things for money). At times its very much like Oblivion even down to the world map music cues, down to the voice overs, and down to the quest system. Though what is a vast improvement over Oblivion is the world is actually interesting to explore. Kind of like how Morrowind was. The weapons are awesome. Anything your enemies drop you can pick up and use. If anything you have to see the VAT system in action. Hahaha I'm in love with headshots now. Anyway the VAT system is basically gives the combat a more turn-based rpg, dice roll, feel. Otherwise you can play this game as an action shooter.


Overall I am looking forward to logging hundreds of hours on this game like I did Obilivion. I can't wait until a couple years from now when the modding community starts fleshing the game out beyond the current content. I'm a mod nut. I have 80 mods going on Oblivion currently.

Fallout 3 DLC Coming to PLAYSTATION®3

We are pleased to announce that Fallout® 3 downloadable content (DLC) is coming to PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system. We have been working on implementing it for a while and look forward to bringing it to PS3 gamers via the PlayStation Network. Operation: Anchorage will be released for PS3 in late June, followed by the release of The Pitt and Broken Steel 4-6 weeks apart. Release dates will be forthcoming.

In addition, a new update will be released for PS3 that will allow users to download and play the new DLC. The release date for that update will be announced at a later date.

There are also two new DLCs planned for all three platforms:

* Point Lookout – Explore a massive new swampland area filled with new quests and content.
* Mothership Zeta – 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 be available in late June for Xbox 360 and PC. Cost will be 800 points or $9.99. It will be available through Xbox Live and Games for Windows Live and through token cards available at retail. Point Lookout will be available on PS3 after the first three DLCs have been released.

Mothership Zeta is scheduled for release in late July for Xbox 360 and PC. Cost will be 800 points or $9.99. It will be available through Xbox Live and Games for Windows Live and through token cards available at retail. Mothership Zeta will be available on PS3 after Point Lookout.

Finally, new Fallout 3 products will be available at retail this year.

Fallout 3 Game Add-on Pack #1 includes The Pitt and Operation: Anchorage on a disc and will be available for Xbox 360 and PC on May 26.

The Fallout 3 Game Add-on Pack #2 includes Broken Steel and Point Lookout on a disc and will be available for Xbox 360 and PC in August.

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.

A Fallout 3 Game of the Year edition will be available in October. It will include the original game plus all five add-ons for $59.99 for Xbox 360 and PS3, and $49.99 for PC.

So... I will be playing Fallout 3 for the rest of the fucking year, it seems.
