Fallout 3

Operation Achorage has got to be my favorite DLC that i have ever gotten. The mission and extra equipment are all blasts.

Spoiler:
Especially the Gauss Rifle and Winter Power Armor


Well worth the money to me.

Just finally beating it after plaing it since launch

Bethesda seems to make high quality downloadable content. Other then the Oblivion horse armor... Without spoiling.. I love the way people die in this content. I forget where i am exactly only to be reminded by the next enemy.

I hear ya. I don't like what they've done with this. I don't own either version of the game, nor did I enjoy the one I played, but the principle of it kinda grinds my gears.

Unfortunately this is making me bring back the PS3 version and get the 360 or pc version of the game...
 
Unless you physically cannot play a game on your PC, buying a console version is just shooting yourself in the foot anyway. If a PC release is available at launch that is.

I just dont see the beauty of this game or games like it one the PC. The visuals are damn near the same and the game is just as glitchy...

Sure there is a Mad Max mod... But who liek Mad Max??? Ok i kid.. That shit is pretty sweet.

Games like this i dont need to play on my pc.
 
The advantage to PC is all the mods, free content, and mouse based aiming which is damn useful with the lack of any aim assist. But like I said, not every game needs this, mainly the games you want to never play again after you finish. Fallout 3 I wouldn't mind getting more content to play FOR FREE. Especially if a lot of it is just fun useless stuff like souped up Fat Man versions. Consoles are designed to keep you paying - like for DLC, and to keep you moving on, to get trophies and achievements, to keep paying $60 for the next game. PC gaming is more dedicated to the game itself - everyone only focuses on the really, really great games, and producing mind boggling amounts of content for it and people play that for years and years. In that sense, they both have their advantages. Why bother with a PC version of Lost Planet, or DMC4? You're not going to play those games for weeks, they just aren't that good. Buy em, beat em, sell em back, move on to the next... or skip entirely, whatever.

Give Fallout 3 a few months though, there will be enough free content to merit buying it again for PC if you didn't already. Just look at Oblivian now.

I do agree pc gaming is more of a cult type of situation. Harder hard core if you will... The example i have is...

MLB2k is a shit game as far as baseball gameplay goes but is best visually.. Its on 360, ps3 and i think pc.

MLB the show is awarded the best baseball game pretty much every year, only because the competition is shit i might add... Its for PS3 and other sony products only...

MVP baseball has mods made yearly on pc and is by far the best baseball game ever to me made... Can i really call it the best tho when its just mods to a game like 5 years old? Its cult following stuff.

Most of these advantages people claim are their opinion.. Mouse and keyboard is more accurate you think, yet consoles shooters come with auto aim.. Its opinion. The free content thing would be the only real advantage.

Not really even the same thing to compare something like an annual sports game to a large RPG/shooter environment. Every year you're going to have a new iteration of it, so creating mods for these games is almost Sisyphean in nature.
But there's not going to be a new Fallout 3, or Left 4 Dead next year. There may be patches, but any mods will liably still work. Hell, no small amount of people still play Counter-strike (originally a Half-life mod, no?), and its mods, such as Science and Industry and Natural Selection.
 
Maybe a better way to think of it is that big PC games become entire worlds in and of themself. If you're playing PS3 or Xbox 360, you're playing games in the context of that platform. You're playing Xbox or PS, you're not playing Call of Duty, that just happens to be the disc in at the time. When you're playing a PC game, it's a different thought process going on, where everything is at once dedicated with focus on the game, not the platform. As such the little advantages that the different platforms have come into focus. Achievements/trophies, global friends list vs free content, mods, ext

As such, the great games, are on the PC worthy of being the platform itself, while lesser stuff is better delegated to consoles. I feel like I'm just sort of verbalizing what most of us probably have always felt in the back of our heads. Even the very nature of how you load the games up supports that feeling - pop the disc in, and play, versus a jumble of discs, some to install, some to play - all the freakin side bullcrap you gotta install to allow the game to run right, but the payoff of a superior experience- it's for something you're more interested in. But in the console world that's not going to happen. I mean, come on, nobody even plays Halo 3 anymore except semi casual people who only own 2 or 3 games.

Every thing you wrote was cool... Until you fisted yourelf by saying no one plays Halo 3 anymore.. Just about 1,000,000 people online per day still on Halo3. Just cleaing that part up for you.
 
I am enjoying the DLC so far and can wait for the next one. Bethesda seems like they finally figured out how to do their DLC right after a few missteps with the Oblivion DLC.
