[Official] Fallout 3 - DLC for 360/PC released!


Recommended Posts

The fireants plotline seems pretty unbalanced, I'm wasting massive amounts of ammo for little return.. even with my most powerful assault rifle the ants take 5-6 headshots to die.

Edit: The heads falling off is so poorly done that I'm surprised anyone finds it cool.. I mean, I just shot a guy into his leg and his head falls of like it's been severed by a surgical instrument? WTF?

For PS3 Users:

Does your game freeze when "xxx is online" notifications appear?

Use shotgun instead - you can get one from raider in Super Duper Mart. Grenades are quite effective also

I like the V.A.T.S effect though (regardless of anatomical accuracy of body parts coming loose :p) especially when you see the bullet whizzing through the air in slo-mo.

did not get a shotgun .... :( WTF i want my SHOTGUN !

Nah, mirelurks are only tough if you don't know where to hit 'em ;)

You get them from the guys who turn up after you've raided the pharmacy at the rear of the Mart.

I know where to hit them, but they're still annoying, face :p

I didn't like the game, ugly hud, annoying characters, boring beginning bit which you can't skip, annoying enemies. graphical glitches, fps stutters, awful combat system, horrible controls. etc etc

Having much more fun with FC2 & QoS.

Yeah me either, I got it in the sewers.

Finally getting some better weapons :)

I've got a question for anyone who knows.. In the beginning of the game you can upgrade your strength, agility, luck etc but I'm lvl 5 or 6 right now and I've never been given an option to futher upgrade those. Is that set for the rest of the game? Or do you have to be a certain lvl to upgrade them again? Or am I missing the boat completely? :| Thanks

    • Here's how to watch Summer Game Fest 2026 and what to expect from the 2-hour showcase by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The June game showcase schedule is packed, and with the Sony event already behind us, it's time for the next major presentation to come in swinging. Later today, Geoff Keighley will be bringing the 2026 edition of Summer Game Fest live from the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, California. For anyone wanting to tune in online, the Summer Game Fest showcase livestream will be kicking off at 2 PM PT | 5 PM ET | 10 PM BST later today, June 5. The jam-packed show is slated to run for about two hours, with platforms like YouTube (4K at 60FPS), Twitch, Facebook, or X being available for catching it. Like in previous years, separate streams featuring American Sign Language and Descriptive Audio are available on YouTube as well. Keighley has only dropped a few teasers about what gaming fans can expect to see at the show. This includes a new look at Star Wars Zero Company from EA, a major announcement from Guild Wars developer ArenaNet, more Clutch gameplay, and some sort of Sega presence. As for fan expectations, there is hype building about a Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 reveal here, and we might see new details about announced games like Alien Isolation 2 as well. If you want even more games, keep in mind that right after the main kickoff event, the Day of the Devs showcase will begin its own festivities at 4 pm PT | 7 pm ET. This is focused entirely on upcoming indie games. Following this, the next major games showcase is slated to happen on June 7. Here, Microsoft is bringing the big guns with its Xbox Games Showcase and Gears of War E-Day Direct. Check out the full calendar for all of the June events over here.

    • I think the car analogy is more this: Left hand drive, basic commands on the left side of the infotainment screen. Right hand drive, basic commands on the right side of the infotainment screen. Granted, you're not swapping between the two often so it's doesn't really work. But it's to do with the proximity of you (your mouse, or the driver) to the controls.
    • I mean, the old one was broken and so stupidly complex for many users, so I don't see that as a feasible option. A context menu needs to be simple to use, and for me the Windows 11 style actually worked really well for me, and many others. I used to have to scroll the damn context menu just to get to "file properties" in Windows 10. That was not a good experience, and I'm sure you'd agree. What they're trying to do is make it the best of both worlds, as clearly you'd prefer the Win10 style. I'm curious how they're going to do this.
