Bethesda’s
Oblivion was so open-ended that the main story became insubstantial.
Fallout 3 is no different. There are many sidequests to tackle, several of which have the ability to make the player forget about the main storyline. But when the game concludes, it literally concludes. There are no more opportunities to grab bobble heads or snatch Nuka Colas from dilapidated supermarkets.
It’s a problem that Bethesda is going to fix with their first
downloadable content for the PC and Xbox 360. Sounds great, right? Not for PlayStation 3 owners. The DLC isn’t hitting Sony’s platform and that means PS3 people are being left out in the cold.
MTV Multiplayer recently spoke to the game’s executive producer Todd Howard about the DLC and if Bethesda would be willing to patch in the ability to play the game after main storyline completion. His answer was simple:
Not at this time, no.
There’s always the possibility, but it doesn’t sound like its going to be any time soon.

Woorah!
Anyone that says they bought a ps3 for JUST gaming is a tard. And should be treated as such.
Hopefully KZ2 will change my mind.
Favorite game all year.
I have been putting in so much time on my PS3 its crazy. Contrary to popular belief you can purchase fallout and play the game just fine, and you can ENJOY IT!
I think its shady Bethesda will give us the game but not the DLC. I guess the money MS gave must be a good number to not want to milk another platforms community of its cash.
However, money is money and I think we will end up seeing that content. However by then it won't be as lucrative for them.
Just because some people like the PS3 and you don't doesn't mean it's a bad console. At least the PS3 works.
I actually sold my 360 in favor of the PS3 because I liked the games on that system better.
Stop fucking punishing your customers. We all spent the same amount on this game, and we all should be given the same opportunity to continue playing it the way it was intended.
You gave us an RPG with a level cap of 20! 20! That's a fucking DEMO! They sold 1.08 MILLION copies of fallout 3 for the PlayStation if even half of the customers bought the expansions, they would have made enough to justify being non-exclusive.
I really am fucking tired of companies telling me what I will like and what I won't like. This sort of practice is something that I find infuriating. Aren't we all equal? Shouldn't we all be given the same opportunity?
I'm just sick and tired of it. Everyone should be treated as equals no matter what and stupid shit like this puts even more of a divide between the ps3/360 crowds. enough....
Let's do a little math.
1.08million copies sold on PS3 (number from above comment)
lest say only 10% of people buy the DLC.
and,my guess is it'll be 9.99 each
and there are three
so...
1.08(copies)*10%(people buy DLC)*9.99(priceof dlc)*3(number of as of now confirmed DLCs)=3million...
So bethesda, was microsofts offer worth it? I've head the number 10mill as what MS gave them (which I'm shure the poster pulled straight from his ass but lets go with it) so just off these 3 your still ahead 7mill, but if you keep supporting this like you did oblivion you only need 7 more expansions (prolly gonna be more like 15 littler ones I'd would guess, new houses and the like like in oblivion) and you'll be losing money, and those just money on this game, not counting the pissed off customers who won't buy another game from you because of this. I seriously doubt I will, at least till fallout 4.
Yes us PS3 owners knew about this but I couldent afford the 200 system and the game (even though I spent $100 on just the game) so getting the 360 version wasent an option. I wasen't thinking about Fallout when I got the system, it wasent even announced yet the only reason I specifically got the PS3 was by 300+ PS1 and PS2 games that I still wanted to play, and the fact that my PS2 was dead.
I only hope that there is some way to pirate tha DLC, then I will get a 360 and mod it just for that (because I won't pay for the same game twice damnit!)
OR
bethesda really doesn't like working on the ps3 hence the bad glitchy less than wonderful graphically port. it probably would have costed besthesda more to spend the time porting it over to the ps3 which just led to their conclusion: fuck it.
bethesda shouldn't have made fallout 3 for the ps3 in the first place so they could at least spend the extra time fixing existing bugs on the 360/pc. sorry ps3 owners, but perhaps you should be directing angst against that Cell processor that makes it fumbly for devs to work on or make the development of games lasting half a decade.
Mac user here, so thats not an option, I eamn I could get an unofficial cider port but would get no mod then, and I guess I could install windows on my computer and use boot camp, but I think I'll pass, I really don't like XP and think even less of Vista
@ Genebeef
That would have been better than this honestly, then I would eventually get the 360 version when/if I got a 360 and wouldent have been screwed as a PS3 owner. Mind you the cell processor/hard to program for argument is old they obviously know what there doing with it oblivion was flawless on my PS3, and the expansion has little to do with new programming, mostly just adding to the stuff they already did.
@ Spencers Gifts Yeah I guess I am a tard, look at my profile and then you will realize why I didn't buy a 360 over a ps3. Go ahead and treat me like a 'tard' if it makes you feel better about yourself.
And Lv20 only makes fallout 3 a demo? Wows, go play WoW if you want to run around leveling for hundreds of hours. I had a damned good time collecting all the unique weapons after I hit level 20. Got several more achievements and finished a few more quests, too.
It's also important to note that the functionality patch is tied to extra DLC content. You can only play after the normal ending of the game through a brand new piece of content, not just to explore the Wasteland some more because the new content will supposedly change the end of the game. Spending R&D to give Sony players something unique for free isn't good business, especially since the same content-free functionality also won't be offered to Xbox players. Easy and cheap isn't as cheap as not doing it all, and no one spends money to give things away.
Morrowind had a level cap of 70+.
Oblivion had a cap between 40 and 50 depending on how you leveled your skills.
But Fallout 3 has a cap of 20? No. That is fucking wrong. So fuck you, Bethesda, for releasing such a broken fucking game.
I do not want my 60 hours of of play time so far to go to waste.
And after all the gushing from every reviewer who try their hardest not to show the brown stuff on their noses, from what I've gathered, Fallout 3 is Oblivion with Guns.
I won't be getting it for a while, and I certainly wouldn't PAY for a patch that lets you play the game after completing it.
@MotoRobo
