GreasyDogMeat Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 (edited) http://xboxlive.ign.com/articles/100/1003434p1.html "players get beamed aboard an alien spaceship. There, they'll meet new characters, both from the Wasteland and Earth's past" Ok, so no actual mention of Elvis in the article. Think about it though. Elvis portrait in the original Fallout... 'meet characters from Earth's past'... I'm rather hopeful for this DLC as each one has progressively been better than the last.

Matthew Rorie Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Was there ever a solution for getting DLC on a Steam install of F03? I enjoyed the game well enough but since I can't buy the DLC through Steam, I don't know how complicated it is to get it working.

Pop Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 (edited) If the Steam version of F3 works with the Fallout Mod Manager then you should be able to get the DLC off of Games for Windows Live and FOMM will move it to a place where it can be compatible with the game. At least I think it will. Also it makes me sad that we'll be seeing the earth from space not from B.O.M.B II, but from an alien spaceship. I wonder if you can see the moon colony as well.

GreasyDogMeat Posted July 15, 2009 Author Share Posted July 15, 2009 Has Van Buren been considered canon by Beth or have they just taken bits & pieces they liked and used them? Almost no one (including the devs of the first two Fallout games) consider BoS canon but Beth have also taken elements from that game, including the mini nukes and the design of the hunting rifle.

CoM_Solaufein Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 I like Fallout 3 but I won't be getting this. They overstepped their bounds with this alien nonsense. The crashed alien ship easter egg was questionable, but this is too much. I'll stick with the apocalyptic Earth stuff.

I enjoyed the game well enough but since I can't buy the DLC through Steam, I don't know how complicated it is to get it working. DLC is compatible with the steam version, it's just stored in a hidden folder in the FO3 directory (if purchased.) But if you're like me and many others and think GoW is total horse**** and not worth the reduced framerate, the DLC files can be placed in the data folder.

The crashed alien ship easter egg was questionable, but this is too much. I'll stick with the apocalyptic Earth stuff. Same here. This just seems like too far fetched. For some reason. "Alright, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade - make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager. Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons. Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! With the lemons.

Pop Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 The original Fallouts had robots with human brains for heads. Come on guys, it's genre stuff. Like, you can't be a champion of Cronenberg films and then claim that you don't really like horror because Cronenberg is "different". Fallout is sci-fi of a sort, and it has all kinds of throwbacks to cheesy Cold War **** - Necropolis was almost straight out of I Am Legend, radiation made ordinary creatures grow huge in size, the robobrains, evil computers. I'm reading the jab that Bethsoft is placating the 10-year olds in its audience and my mind is boggled because I ****ing loved Fallout when I was 10 (got it for Christmas) because of all the gore and edginess but also because it was good sci-fi fantasy - it created a world that really captured my imagination. I find it kind of sad that people have chosen to look past that part of Fallout and instead have intellectualized it to the point where the ridiculous **** can't be a part of the game, it all has to be some grim exercise in RPG design philosophy. Fallout is great but it's not the Brothers Karamazov. It's ****ing Jaws. Join me, and we shall make Production Beards a reality! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aristes Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Yeah, that's my take also. I mean, the alien aspect in particular doesn't appeal to me, but the idea that aliens are too goofy for Fallout sounds kind of hollow. I don't mind it being goofy. I worry about it getting to be a big part of the backstory 'cause I think it does detract from the essential gritty wasteland feel. If there's some way to indulge in the aliens idea without making it a center piece of future games, I'm all for it. ...And, of course, I could play it and really like it. There is no argument like success. *shrug* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoonDing Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Too late, Bethesda, I already made it to level 30. But I'll play it just to see how goofy it is. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starwars Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 In the next DLC we will be able to command the alien spaceship and make our way to Mars which will be overrun with a new breed of ghouls called Space Ghouls. All done in a 50s style so you *know* it's gonna fit the Fallout setting.

jero cvmi Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 (edited) Fallout is great but it's not the Brothers Karamazov. It's ****ing Jaws. I'd be willing to accept any level of sillyness in Fallout, if it was done in a witty way like in Fallout 2. But if Fallout is "Jaws", then Fallout 3 feels more like "Scary Movie". Also, i'm happy they're finally done with the DLCs. Maybe now the Omerta concerning New Vegas will be lifted...

TwinkieGorilla Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 (edited) you guys are *so* right. i just saw the screen-cap where the character has a vault suit on. this totally is Fallout!!

Malcador Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 If he didn't have the suit on, I'd have thought it was this lackluster looking alien FPS. I'm not of the mind that aliens are too goofy for Fallout, but this is a bit setting breaking, and cliche as hell for a game - "ooh the alien menace will wipe out humanity!". Frankly, given the state of the world in 2277, I'm not sure there's much left to kill off... I eagerly await the Godzilla DLC, when you control Freedom Magnus to save the DC area. As an aside, they really need to make another X-COM game. Why has elegance found so little following?

Jaesun Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 (edited) You know, with Point Lookout and now this, it's like Bethesda doesn't even really care about the Fallout franchise anymore. Why did they even buy the right's to Fallout when they are now completely ignoring it all together now? They should have just made a game called Capitol Wasteland.

QFT. i really don't get why they needed the Fallout name to do all this bull****. it's not like 95% of the kids out there buying this game even knew what Fallout was in the first place.

jjc Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 I thought it was clear from stuff like the android quest that the approach in Fallout 3 was to treat the setting as a kind of generic genre backdrop into which you could insert any sci-fi story.

Rosbjerg Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 i took out all the unnecessary words And missed the point completly.. I thought it was clear from stuff like the android quest that the approach in Fallout 3 was to treat the setting as a kind of generic genre backdrop into which you could insert any sci-fi story. I think this is really their approach to any game and setting, it seems to me that they are much more interested in what's fun and cool and not so much if it all fits together. Now alot of bad can be said about that, but there are some companies that forget their games need to be playable and not just have a coherent and good idea. Both approaches are bad, but the former at least works. Fortune favors the bald. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
