The last DLC for Fallout 3 is now available on PC and Xbox 360. Before falling for the little green men and paying the usual 800 points, you might want to take a look at the launch trailer.
This looks to be a great DLC, although the weaponry may be a little overpowered. Hopefully the ammo for those alien weapons will be in short supply, since it will be possible to board the spaceship even after the DLc story is over.

Your loss for being cheap. All the DLC for Fallout 3 have been more than worth it.
While I hope you're correct (haven't played past vanilla FO3), I'm also sorta hoping there's some ultimate edition in the works post-DLC that includes the whole package. People complain about paying $60+ for games, but the *real* cost of DLC heavy titles far exceeds the initial asking price. I don't think it's much a matter of being cheap, as being thrifty.
Does anyone else think this looks ridiculously generic and cliche? From the 60's style "alien music" to the disc shaped UFOs and little "zapper" laserguns, all the way down to the aliens design. Is it supposed to be some sort of sattire on the whole alien theme? Or did the developers just completely lack any sort of creativity? I think Fallout is much too profoundly thought out and designed to be played as something so uninspired..
... unspired? Fallout3 is based on the "music/art/mundane stuff" of the 50s, so tell me, what is cliche using the 50's cheesy notion of Aliens/Sci-Fi for a small portion of the game?

I take it as refreshing.
just the whole theme and design, hard to take seriously for me. But yeah i guess you just gotta appreciate it for its idea.
wow this could have easily been repackaged as a brand new game Fallout: Earth Orbit ? lol i mean hell all they'd have to do is make it longer looks like a new game but its a dlc lol

You're not supposed to take it seriously.
lol... what? I understand what bloodforge and nostradam were saying about staying true to the whole 50's retro ideas and futuristic notions, but why wouldnt it be meant to be taken seriously?

Yea I don't think you really get Fallout. As with most of the world, it's satire. You're totally not supposed to take it seriously.

? I know it's got sattirical aspects to it (like the pip boy and all the propaganda ads and things, even the theme itself) but im pretty sure its meant to be taken seriously, at least within its own element...but i dunno if your just being sarcastic or not.
it can be taken as seriously as any other ficional game or story, like Bioshock, or even a completely fantasy based game.

Commented on 2009-08-03 18:29:03 In reply to JackDickThe entire game is set around a retro 50's future, this fits into that world perfectly.
