Bethesda has today announced plans to release three more downloadable chapters for Fallout: New Vegas.
Honest Hearts, Old World Blues and Lonesome Road are the three upcoming packages set to release this year. The first installment, Honest Hearts, will launch on May 17 and takes players to Utah's Zion National Park. After your caravan is attacked by tribal raiders, you become embroiled in a conflict with a New Canaanite missionary and the Burned Man.
Old World Blues is coming in June, and turns players into kidnapped laboratory experiments in the Big Empty's pre-war research facilities. In July, you'll get Lonesome Road, which is set to tie up the whole New Vegas Story. It revolves around Ulysses, the original courier who refused to deliver the game's Platinum Chip. He'll tell you why if you do one more job, a job that leads to the weather-shredded realm of the Divide.
You'll be pleased to note that this content won't be exclusive to any platform. These chapters will be available on Xbox Live, PSN and Steam simultaneously, and each installment will cost $9.99/800 MS Points apiece.

looks like my summer is planned
also FIRST
I didnt like it as much as 3 i have to be honest. I think it may have been the first 15 minutes of game when I saw someone fly into the air for no reason.....yep that was it.
...hopefully August/September Complete Collection so I can finally play this game.
Though I should note, even though I'm a DLC crank, I've got no issue with how Bethesda handles it's business. Release expansive game, if sales warrant come out with a couple meaty expansions. That's the right way to do DLC. For me, I really don't have time to replay lengthy games anymore, and when I'm done...I'm done. I'll make some exceptions (like Shadow Broker for ME2), but usually I don't hop back in. I've also find it hard to finish a game with a big, grandiose ending.....and then pick up some small, out-of-the way quest later. That never seems to fit with the story arc. Congratulations, your character is now king of the realm!! Oh, you can help a caravan owner get his goods through dangerous territory now.
As a plus, I'm visiting Zion National Park this June for the first time. So I'll get to camp in it, then shoot mutants in it! AWESOME!
10 hours of gameplay, 5 of walking around to areas you haven't been to yet, and 15 ruined by glitches.
now which one of these enables me to play after I beat the main missions, ala broken steel.
Patch some shit, and you can have my $$.
I played through Fallout 3 4 times and then helped my kid through it, and the thing was a blast from beginning to end. On the last play through I even had that "Man, I forgot how fun it was getting from Megaton to the Radio Station" moment.
Fallout New Vegas has NOTHING in the way of challenging missions. Boulder City is a perfect example... Raiders holed up in a hostage situation... Hey, this should be tough...
Nope, I talked them into leaving once, and then just mowed them down casually while they walked away. Second time, I just walked up and blasted the guy in the face and then cleared out the rest of the room without breaking a sweat. Killing Mr. House didn't even require thought.
"Dead Money" freaking blew. WTF? Yeah, I love running around an empty town with a "holo-rifle" and no f-ing ammo.
On top of it, the story was weaksauce, the characters/followers were boring. I felt more of a connection with Charon than I ever did with Cassidy, Boone... LONG load times between areas, and to get anywhere you have to open 15 gates. New Vegas itself is a horribly chopped up pit of frustration. Want to visit your house? Fast travel to the Gun Runners and go through 5-6 load screens.
Yes, between the initial trek to New Vegas and the final choice it's quite open ended... But that is mostly due to feeling like nothing "important" needs to be done/is going on.
Obsidian has lost any interest from me for anything they ever do again. Such a shame they got the "Wheel of Time" franchise. I have played EVERY Bethesda game going back to Arena... Nothing had been this disappointing since Battlespire.
