Fallout: New Vegas: Dead Money is out now on Xbox Live, for the not-Call-of-Duty-bullshit price of 800 Microsoft Points. With new environments, new weapons, new enemies and a fresh story, Dead Money is pretty much what you expect Fallout DLC to be.
Despite its flaws, I really did think New Vegas was a superb game and I'm looking forward to jumping back in with Dead Money. Is anybody else looking forward to it, or did you make the silly mistake of getting a PS3/PC version?
Speaking of which, no word on a PS3/PC release for this DLC. Hopefully you'll get it within a year!

Sorry bro....I've got a ps3, a 360 and a wii.....the 360 is the best of the three systems to buy any multi-plat. game on. The PS3 is good for it's exclusives, but otherwise, it's a bluray player for the thrity minded and a gaming system that only caters to the die-hard who don't mind getting screwed on multi-platform games.
Whenever the game isn't completely broken.
Otherwise, I'll wait for the GOTY edition. Not because of DLC, but I'm sure by then that crazy Exorcist Bug will be gone.
Also, laughing to myself with people spending time saying they don't care, good to know that SpaceCowboy64 doesn't give a shit. If SpaceCowboy64 doesn't give a shit, what hope does this ever have of turning a profit?!
There. I said it too.
OH SNAP.
Congrats. You're the prime example of the typical mouth-breathing Xbox fanboy. Congrats!
On topic: Don't care.
Piss, Fuck, Shitballs.
Sorry, but as a multiplatform game enthusiast myself, I have to agree with JQM78...I do like the exclusives on the PS3, but otherwise the poor thing just sits there, like a lonely PS3 whining fanboy. :( Kinda like you, Vallanthaz!
Seriously though, I honestly like owning all three systems and appreciate them all for what they do, but regardless I find myself playing on the Xbox360 at least 75% of the time, then 20% on the Wii, and finally 5% on the PS3 when I want to play through an exclusive that has finally come out.
Even though I can admit I prefer the 360, it really isn't a matter of preference....I simply have a lot more choices with the 360, and I like having that. Surrry!
I definitely wouldn't say the PS3 sucks though. I think the 360 has a better online experience (for a price) and a more robust selection of games--especially downloadable games--but the PS3 can certainly stand on its own.
I'll put it like this: since I bought the PS3 last year, I haven't once found myself without a great game to play. Most of the best games out there are multiplatform, and i enjoy PS3's exclusives (Uncharted, Ratchet, Deomn's Souls, etc.)
The only thing I'm really bummed about is missing out on downloadable games like Limbo, Shadow Complex, and Super Meat Boy... those look like great games.
Stinks that it is a timed exclusive for those not playing it on 360, but that is unfortunately still how this industry works.
I guess swimming in user created content along side bug fixes, graphics/animation mods and having true native 1920x1200 resolution would make me silly.
I'll be enjoying my high textured, distance blurred, color correction version that has triple the NPCs in casinos and amazing sandbox scenarios for your companions. You guys can enjoy getting the DLC a little early in your otherwise vanilla game that runs at 720p and only upscales to 1080.
(See I can troll too).
That made me feel better about my version. User generated stuff, from my experience, can often trump developer-created DLC.
Well duh.
Regarding the DLC, I'll just wait for the GOTY edition on PS3
One hour till I get home and find out. lol
It's not that the user created content is better, it's that we get it as well. The only thing 360 users have over PC users when it comes to this game is earlier access to DLC.
When it comes to everything else the PC has it trumped solely because of the mod community.
That doesn't mean that people shouldn't buy it on 360 or PS3, hell I played Oblivion and Fallout 3 on 360 before I built a gaming PC, but calling anyone who plays the PC version of this silly when it has so much more going for it just doesn't make sense.
How could anyone justify a version that runs at 720p and doesn't have all the user created content being the better version? That's like saying VHS is better than Blu-ray just because it came out first and then totally disregarding everything else that makes those two formats different.
Meh, at least PC fanboys have some decent arguments beyond "my exclusive is better than your exclusive because I say so" as is the case with 90% of the moronic fanboys on this site... I'd rather see a group of PC fanboys than Console fanboys tbh...
DAMN YOU OBSIDIAN STOP MAKING SUB-PAR SEQUELS FOR AWESOME GAMES. Go make another Alpha Protocol or something I really don't care, just leave our RPG's alone. I already know the Dungeon Siege game they're developing will suck.
Battles fought by teenagers who don't have good jobs and cant afford to buy more than one thing
If your going to toot the 1080p horn then I hope you have a big enough screen to even notice the difference from 720p.
Regardless, Fallout looks like shit compared to modern games. So your argument is kind of stupid to be honest. It basically boils down to "My eyesore on my 22' LCD looks the same as your eyesore on that 55' LCD."
I play either on a 24" or out to my 40" 1080p TV to be fair. So it's really not as dramatic as you make it sound.
Also the point of my comments isn't that resolution is some defining quality that determines whether a game is good or not. Still, who would argue that 720p looks better than 1920x1200?
The biggest thing I was bringing up was the mod community, which when it comes to visual improvements is more about hi-res textures, distance mods, blur filters and color correction. There's radio mods that add hundreds of authentic tracks and actual cold war era civil defense warnings. You can increase the amount of NPCs in casinos so they feel more real. There's entire quest chains that are constantly being updated and even the ability to build, from scratch, your own town which will attract inhabitants.
I mean, who could really argue that adding all that stuff makes the PC version worse? Maybe some of those things aren't needed, and yes 1080p vs 720p is going to depend heavily upon the equipment you are using to play it anyway, but how could anyone argue that a version which does less and displays it worse is better?
Really?! Lucky... I haven't experienced any of the major glitches of New Vegas, but my game definitely crashed a dozen times or so.
Confirmed - it does raise the level cap by 35.
It does not allow you to continue after the ending of the main story of New Vegas.
It's like "The Pitt" - in that you can't return, and lose all your stuff temporarily until it's finished.
It looks like I'm halfway done, and it's been about an hour - so typical 2~ hour Fallout DLC length it seems.
So far it's nothing stellar (not sure if it's worth $10), but it's not bad at all.
