This is some bullshit right here.

Many of you have already, or will, heard about the third DLC in the Fallout 3 series called Broken Steel.

Let me just get to the point: They want us to pay $10 for an extended storyline, more items, and the worst part, 10 additional maximum level.

And no, I'm not talking about the regular DLC storylines. This shit actually continues from Project Purity, giving players who has already finished the game more chance to play.

What's so ripoff about this? The fact that many of us were already taken by surprise, not knowing that the game would have ended right then after Project Purity, it was an unfortunate epidemic among many thousands who had to start all over again.

No one wants to pay money to extend what was rightfully ours from the start. If people want to finish the game, then fuck they'll finish the game. But what people don't want is the game ending after the storyline is finished, especially in an RPG game.

Let us pay $10 for more items, side-quests, and achievements. But for fuck's sake, don't leave us hanging here locked inside the final room with nothing else to do.

You aren't locked inside the final room, you can leave it. Even if you finish the game you can always load the previous autosave.

Damn! It's 10$? I thought they might make it free. Damn. Or at least 5$ or something cheap.

Interesting stuff.

And so it begins, the time of reckoning is apon us. A thousand years of darkness where the game developers will sell the ending to games through DLC to make more profit of a game and a foolish attempt to destroy piracy of video games. The end of days is nigh and soon the video game industry's head will be shoved so far up its on ass it will choke on its on excrement.

"Puppies! is a perk that is to be added to Fallout 3 with the Broken Steel DLC.

With this perk Dogmeat is reincarnated as a puppy every time he dies and can be added back to your group in certain areas like Vault 101's entrance."

There is only one way to express my feelings...

So Dogmeat is now a self-impregnating hermafadite?

Fuck you because Anchorage and The Pitt only added new quests and items while Broken Steel adds new quest, extended ending, increased level cap, new items and new abilities?

Jeez, talk about drama queens (you all know who I'm referring to.)

To keep this as short as possible;

Video games haven't changed in price for 15 years, in fact they've gone down (SNES & Mega Drive games retailed at £50.00).

If you have even the remotest understanding of inflation, you'll understand this equates to an actual decrease in the cost per item per capita. (In simple terms £1 today is £10 yesterday).

Then you also have the increase in price of production, as technology becomes more advanced, it becomes more complicated to create. Gone are the 3 man bedroom teams, hello to the 100+ corporations.

DLC is the cheapest manner to present a game, no packaging, distribution or retailer percentages to consider (bar your channel provider).

In other words, for business sense this is the only way forward, to offer episodic content.

Do you bitch about series 2 of a programme coming out? A sequel to a film? A second book?

Fuck me, PC games have been doing expansions for years.

And one final point, no-one's forcing you to buy this. It's not like they'll release an auto-update banning you from playing the game is it? Whiny little bitches.


Happy

Exactly. Personally can't wait, although I really want to find the 3 ingots i'm missing before broken steel comes out.

Too bad that most console gamers don't know about that.

Just like how every moronic Xbox 360 fanboy acted like how game installations was the newest thing around.

This is quite a good deal considering what DLC has been like lately.

£4 for a fucking costume in Street Fighter 4. Still it's everybody's fault for downloading horse armour.

Uh, it cost the developers money to make. And it's not like RE5, where the shit was already on the disk.

Just thinking that I wasted $5 on RE5 vesuses mode makes me frustrated... lol...

But yeah, I've got 800 points stashed away for Broken Steel. From what I've seen they're adding some new enemies as well, which is more than can be said for The Fucking Waste of Money P.O.S Pitt, which had 1 new enemy and about 2 hours of gameplay tops.

Because as we all know,fallout 3 was the first game that forcibly ended after you beat it.

The worst part is, PS3 owners don't even get the option of having an extended story/increased level cap etc.

quite the annoyance

From what I hear I think it'll be worth the money. Hell I even heard they considered raising the price.

The Prince of Persia trend of paying addtional money for the 'real' ending seems to be catching on. I'll wait until all 3 DLC are bundled together cheaply until I buy any of them.

That's exactly what they're doing with Broken steel. What, did you expect them to only change the ending cinematic? THEY ARE ADDING AN ENTIRE EPILOGUE QUEST WITH NEW ENCOUNTERS AND UNMARKED QUEST IN ADDITION TO NEW AREAS TO EXPLORE!

PoP epilogue wasn't a real ending at all, anyone who wasn't brain dead would know that. It's a shameless add on for a couple of hours more fun at a much higher difficulty.

It challenged me at parts (more so than the actual campaign), but story wise it adds fuck all.
