YES! Finally!!! And by the looks of the screenshots and the trailer, it looks like the best DLC to date!

I'm at work now, but I can't wait to get home and fire up that console + Fallout 3. Easy when you can buy this through xbox.com :-)

I can't hardly wait for "Fallout: Las Vegas" to be unleashed on the market :-)

But then again... wouldn't it be better and wait for a full year so that I can buy AND Fallout 3 L.V. AND the DLC's?

Drool...

I've been waiting for this one to come out to really hit the DLC hard. Since it's allegedly the last one, it's time to get going.

@5

Yes, the main game + 5 DLC's totalling 1550G.

I was expecting 1750G. But, 1550G is the final and official communication.

Monday, August 03, 2009 @ 07:27:05 AM

Sniff Sniff, it's kind of sad that this is the last DLC for Fallout 3. Truth be known, I would keep buying them for as long as they make them! Oh and of course as long as they keep making them well done and fun to play!

Looks like I'll be picking up $30 in points soon to get the DLC that I'm lacking. I'm glad to see that a company is taking full advantage of the DLC market, and they've probably made a TON of cash off this ($60 game new + $50 in DLC payments from dedicated gamers).

Comment #21 by SAYNTofSYNNERS
Monday, August 03, 2009 @ 07:58:06 AM

WOOT
I got it as soon as it went up, had been checking LIVE all morning.
Not gonna play it tho for a few days just to make sure that there are no major bugs that will wipe out my level 30 MESSIAH, 120 odd hour save lol

@11
I would not get rid of it as they stated BROKEN STEEL was the last add-on until about a month later when they announced both POINT, and ZETA

Monday, August 03, 2009 @ 08:07:41 AM

We should pertition BETHESDA to give us 1 expansion a month for this game. LOL well at least 'til the NEW VEGAS game, or upto FALLOUT 4 lol

@25 DUDE I feel for you.
It seems you always gets the RROD when there is a hot game you want to play LOL.
My launch 360 died on me the day I got BIOSHOCK (on it's launch day) I was about 45 mins in . LOL

To bad my Xbox360 hard drive crashed on friday. Or at least so it seems. Hopefully I can restore the content somehow, or else I have to play the 200 hours of Fallout 3 all over again. :/

Monday, August 03, 2009 @ 08:26:34 AM

Ahh, still not played Operation Anchorage..
even though I have it..
The advantage of this of course though is that I still have all 5 expansions to play and enjoy :D

Comment #33 by MartyMcFly
Monday, August 03, 2009 @ 08:28:00 AM

I held off on Point Lookout, and I'm excited to get both Point Lookout and Mothership Zeta soon.

Fallout 3 is outstanding.

Comment #34 by Davey Gravy X07
Monday, August 03, 2009 @ 08:30:03 AM

Really hope they bring one more out with 200G bcos i heard a rumour they might be keeping back 200G for the GoTY edition which i think is a huge slap in the face to us dedicated players who bought all the dlc on release. I want full GS for this game but im not buying the GoTY edition jst for 200G for the same game iv already spent 150 hours on.

Comment #36 by Shadow3695
Monday, August 03, 2009 @ 08:36:34 AM

I just finished beating it, I think it was the best DLC so far, mainly cause of the approximately 3 hours of gameplay, the new weapons, and the new enemies. :P

I thought it was great! I definitely recommend it to any person that likes Fallout.

I'm just waiting until the Game of the Year edition comes out. I don't see spending $50 on a game I already spent $60 on. I'm just gonna sell my current Fallout.

Comment #40 by drakehellsing
Monday, August 03, 2009 @ 08:58:01 AM

I still have to buy the game myself, but I may wait for the GOTY edition too, since that will include all the DLC on one disc.

Monday, August 03, 2009 @ 10:47:34 AM

Yup as others mentioned I'm waiting for GOTY. I borriwed the game from a friend and came close to buying the first DLC pack but decided I'd wait until I bought a copy for myself. Glad I haven't yet. I'm gonna be a busy man with all the releases this fall/winter.

@72 I know the feeling, getting a job is hard, and I'm 17! And in this economic crisis...well yeah, it's tough for everyone!

Anyways, this DLC I'll get by weeks end. Have some stuff to sort out and some people to see and catch up with. I'll probably invite friends round at the end of the week, and we can mess around with a few Fallout characters and make 'em do crazy things....

Fallout 3 and its DLC is "meh". It's fun, but it's not great or groundbreaking. May give this a go, but I don't see what all the hype on it is.

does anyone know if theres a walkthrough or any help online for mothership zeta yet?

Comment #84 by DrRaymond Solar
Monday, August 03, 2009 @ 05:19:21 PM

Yea the whole "this is the final DLC" is bullshit. They'll make two more. Just don't know what they are yet. I have some ideas though. I would love to see the Commonwealth and the cool shit they came up with. The new weapons would be P-90, Silenced P-90, Pump Shotgun, Incendiary grenades and a Cutlass from the pirate mercenary leader as well as a full pirate outfit. The quest would be to save Dr. Lee from mercenaries and Halkness and/ or Zimmers android would accompany you. The other one is a trip to philly to steal the liberty bell. Abraham Washington sends you there to recover the bell and your plane gets shot down by locals dressed like indians. New low-tech weapons such as a tomahawk, spiked bat, warclub and crossbow would be incuded.

Going to go and queue the download now

Comment #89 by cbssi
Monday, August 03, 2009 @ 09:16:13 PM

#82: Don't. I see my earlier comment was completely justified. I downloaded and completed the DLC. It's like Operation: Anchorage times 10. That is, it completely fails to play to Fallout 3's strengths, which Point Lookout did a superb job of.

Comment #90 by Raider

MZ's kind of a letdown after Point Lookout and Broken Steel. I admit, I have yet to finish MZ, but so far, it feels very "meh". The new weapons are definitely meh; the Tesla Cannon and Backwater Rifle still pwn anything this DLC has. Graphically, though, it looks great!

wait til you get that Destabilizer in the weapon lab.
with 100 energy it gets like 162 damage and with the alien perk it gets stronger. plus it only weigh 7lbs.

I'll wait for the Game Of The Year edition to come out, it's £39.99 but that makes it cheaper than buying the game and all of the DLC's seperate.

Downloadable content - achievements or no achievements - will you buy it with or without them?
If the content is good, or for a game I love, I'll buy it regardless of whether chievos are included
I'll still buy and play the downloadable content, but achievements would be nice.
Who the hell cares!?
No achievements, no sale ... and that goes for any game ... whether you're GTA or Halo!
Just stop with the DLC achievements full stop ... you're ruining my completion percentage dammit!
