The Official Fallout 3 Thread - No Mutants Allowed!

Fallout 3 for the 360 gets a visual update in a recent patch.

I believe the shiny textures are the most notable. The PS3 and PC versions of the game had that polished look, now they all have it.

it's funny how many things I'm discovering right now (3rd time playing the game). I just killed poor Jaime

 

[Nightmare]

So i was browsing IGN today and noticed the 2nd DLC comes out this month. So for the 3rd time Ill be playing this game again, this time I hope to reach Level 30.

 

[Drz]

Do these DLC cost how many Microsoft points?

 

[Nightmare]

I think 800.

Downloaded The Pitt this morning was just getting ready to go into it but had to leave for work. Had the hardest time ever trying to download it. First I couldn't get Microsoft points through the console so I shut down the console and went on to xbox.com to get them. Ordered them signed back on to buy the Pitt and the Pitt wouldn't load on the dashboard so I shut the system back down again. I logged for the last time back into xbox.com and put it into my download queue after some more issues. I logged back into my console and it was stuck at 0% for about 20 minutes and then downloaded within 10 minutes.

its all buggered up anyway, microsoft messed up the upload and its missing files so they wnt release the updated one for a few more hours probably

The download has been pulled from the service anyway. The file uploaded was corrupted somehow.

According to Bethesda, if everything goes the way they hope, they claim it'll be back up sometime today this afternoon.

Glad I had wasted so much time yesterday morning trying to download it. Oh well, hopefully I'll get to play it today.

 

[spidey-dude]

damn microsoft!!!! I wanna play!!!

 

[Timstuff]

This wouldn't have happened if they had put it on PS3! [/fanboyism]

Seriously though Bethesda, shame on you. I used to think you shafted PS3 owners because Microsoft paid you off, but now I think it's because you're just a bunch of lazy slobs.

Anyway, it's up on XBL again, I just downloaded it.

 

[Nightmare]

Right now im on the "Up" part, Im really backtracking a lot. Im supposed to turn off the lights so the trolls can come out and destroy the rest of the bad guys. I hope to finish it tomorrow.

I would argue the "bad" guys arent really any worse than the

Spoiler

group of enslaved raiders who send you to kidnap a baby and kill it's parents

 

[spidey-dude]

I got it yesterday, hear alot of people are still b***ching that it glitches btu mines been fine so far, managed to get all 100 ignots (wow wasnt that fun for 2 hours!!! i kid I got cool stuff for it so I dont mind)

 

[Joker]

Mine hasnt been glitching, but there has been a few occaisions where I get frame rate drops.

 

[Paradyme]

Framerate is terrible now. I don't know what happened but its very distracting. The DLC was short as well. You get some cool stuff but basically the DLC seems to be just a purchase for new weapons. The missions were alright but they could've done more with it. I hate Troggs.

 

[spidey-dude]

I loved the design, very escape from new yorkish

 

[ChrisBaleBatman]

I downloaded it...but have yet to play it. Looking foward to it, though.

No...it's simply because of the money....if Sony wanted to play, they should have ponied up the cash

 

[spidey-dude]

completed the pitt, very nice, loved the escape from new york references (general design/feel, guy with eye patch, mine bridge, someone calls eye patch guy "a snake") plus the lil story it had with its moral dilemas was cool

 

[BlackLantern]

Im waiting for the last DLC to come out that ups the level cap so I can just download all 3 and jack my character up

 

[spidey-dude]

I havnt hit level 20 yet ....pretty close now though

 

[Timstuff]

So basically, Bethesda would have gotten huge payments from both Sony and Microsoft just to release the games on all platforms, which they would have done anyway had no-one started throwing money at them in the first place. Essentially, they'd be getting paid by both companies to do nothing. What kind of stupid world is that to live in?

Anyway, that wasn't my point. My point was that the apparent buggyness of the Pitt could be taken as evidence that they didn't put the content on PS3 simply because they're programmers didn't want to be hassled with making it, seeing as the initial release of Fallout 3 on PS3 was extremely buggy and the Pitt was so unplayable that it had to be recalled. If they're too lazy to run their products through proper quality control, then it shouldn't really be a surprise that they're too lazy to make any DLC for PS3.
