bold.

2. ME2 was a shooter, ruined it for me.
3. Agreed, ME2 wasnt an rpg, so what if I can punch a reporter or talk nicely, I have to go through the sae chest high wall shooting to do it, the dialouge dosent make it an RPG, its gameplay is a shooter, its a gears clone. Say that on the BW forums and get flamed, how dare you criticise something that passes itself of as something it isnt, how dare you point out flaws, how dare you criticise the devs handleing of problems.
4. Agreed, romances are shallow, dont even get me started on the terrible tali one.
5. I liked her accent (Talis) ... Halo on the other hand.

I got Dead Money for 30 bucks on the Steam sale.
COD MW2 is still 60 bucks and it it over 2 years old.
And 10 bucks for a Fallout solid DLC is a great deal.
I'm not paying 60 bucks for a generic FPS (COD) then another 15-45 dollars for more mapppacks.

Im aware of that "Cliche chart", but I dont care, I still like what they re doing, with the exception of ME2, who was pure shooter for the sake of shooter devoted fans,

I like their story even if they are only rehashing, they re still interesting and for what I see, DA2 looks interesting for me at least

IMO, the last good RPG Bethesda game was Morrowind







Thats the whole purpose of the DLC (dont like that is the only Linear DLC, Point Lookout was the only with good exploration)

But Fallout isn't all about exploring the environment, it is always about exploring the story behind places and people. And just because it is a Italic style villa complex doesn't mean you can't "explore".

With the DLC, I guess they could have not told you where the BOS bunker was and had you just stumble across it. THe thing is that when you buy a DLC, you want to play it right away and I think most people would have googled its locaiton anyway. Many people have told you how they liked DM's storyline - I thought the story was great and while it wasn't quite the survival horror thing that they were aiming for (anymore than Anchorage was a good fps) it wasn't bad and there were times when I looked at the ghosts and thought "whoah, they're creepy." Not a fan of survival horror anyway...

For what it's worth, it wasn't perfect, but it was different. As sympathetic as I am, I cannot find any truth in that first complaint of yours. They also seem to be setting up for something big with this first DLC - I read somewhere that they have seven more planned. Maybe big things are going to happen . The story was killer and with someone like that penning the script I for one and looking forward to it.

Yes i cannot argue about that some of the stuff they do in there is ridiclus and not belieable. But isnt that how it is in FNV also...In MW2 you cant duel wield shotguns just try it in real life you might break your arm or put it out of place depending on the gauge. Plus theres plenty of guns that you shoot in peoles head in FNV and they dont die in one shot. Also the story line does not svck the singleplayer is pretty good if ask me. But latly i have been playing Battlefield bad company 2 it is far more challenging that COD. I have been getting sick of it within the first or second game of playing it after i was playing BBC2 for a while and RDR.

Bye bye. You probably won't be missed.


...and we don't want to hear your complaints when you buy more DLCs.

To the OP,

Exactly how many bear traps did you step on, in a row, before you posted this?

This DLC has been very entertaining so far, and the use of extensive traps with the radio-detonating collar has been frustrating but interesting.

This is the first time in a while that I have been challenged in FO gameplay and rewarded for uncovering the "side plot," something I would strive for just for the personal satisfaction.

The story and character interactions in this DLC have exceeded my expectations, Christine pantomimes in text for God's sake, very engaging and unique.

You get to meet the guy on the poster!>>> He's an [censored]!

Well worth the 10 bucks......if you TRULY LIKE Fallout for what the game is at it's core.

I play BBC2 pretty frequently. I just got the vietnam xpac, and it's pretty cool. I like how the bullets drop with gravity. If you haven't heard of it, try playing Rainbow Six: Vegas 2. It's the most realistic CQB Shooter I've ever played, and it's very hard.

As for comparing FNV with CoD, it doesn't work. Fallout doesn't claim to be realistic. Physics wise, in the Fallout universe was based off of speculations of the future from 1950s culture, so some things can be stretched, but it still tries to make sense.

yah but event then sometimes it makes no sense with some stuff they do.

A video game doesn't always make sense and isn't that realistic? I'm shocked, doesn't the world really pause while you change clothes mid-fight?

Is DM a waste of money? I've only got so far as gathering the companions so far but I'd be amazed if I get proportionally the same amount of hours as I did with the main game, so it definitely doesn't have the same value.

But I like it, it reminds me a bit of BioShock and don't feel ripped off so far.

DM IS AWESOME!!

Sorry bout' that. I just finished it, and I have to say, its one of the best Fallout dlcs ever. It had great writing, the back-story was just incredible, and there were no bugs!

Bravo Obsidian!

fixed.

lol that is perfect.

fixed!

I was skeptical at first. I'm not a big fan of the horror genre (and I'd say Dead Money is more horror than anything else), but I liked the DLC; a lot more than The Pitt actually (which people seemed to be comparing it to). I only had one bug (had a permanent health degeneration on me from The Cloud even after I stepped out of a cloud of gas) and had to fix it with a mod. The difficulty on hardcoe Mode was very challenging (more so than the rest of the game I think), voice-acting was good, loot was plentiful enough, secrets and achievements were interesting. The DLC really shines with the story (the most important part in my opinion) - absolutely top notch. Taking into account the bug and the horror setting not being my favorite, I'd give it an 8/10. Oh, and while I'm against DLC's in principle (generally speaking, I think you don't really get the amount of content that you pay for), this one was probably worth it.

Well.. I wouldn't give up on a game company just because you didn't like one DLC... Skyrim is coming out in nov. Maybe fallout' just isn't your cup of tea... or maybe it was just this DLC that wasn't appealing to you. Plenty of people didn't like all of the F3 dlc's. I think one of the major problems with DLC's is that you can't return them. There' have been plenty that I wish I hadn't spent my money on. This isn't really the game makers fault however.. It's a team up of distributors and company money men.. There's plenty of games that have come out recently that have just plain disappointed me. So far DA2 is looking like another disappointing game in my list. But I keep on hoping.

No, Dead Money is not horror. lol. It is an adventure mod with action. There is a lot of fetching and finding while sneaking and avoiding baddies to get a key or a silly objective. There is a lot of random logic you have to slog through -- which means there is no obvious consistency in how you disable the the things that can kill you.

That said, the gameplay (health, goods, weapons) and the script (writing, voice acting, plot) are excellent. Truly superb.

The environment could do without so much pink and red. Really ruined it for me.

If you compare this game to the base game, FNV, it is not even a second cousin. It is like what Mothership Zeta was to FO3. Not an expansion...not even related. Still, it is fun...if you like that sort of quest.

I was irritated by DM to no end. I enjoyed a lot of the above, but it was spoiled by the nagging random nature of its darned beeping and bear traps that you could not hope to solve in the first play through.

I rate it a B-minus. But since we can not go back to it, I rate it a C-.

I enjoyed DM quite throughly it pissed me off at times but challenges make games funner. I didn't encounter any bugs with DM and I played it on the X-box. I also like Bioware games I don't know where the hate comes from but I understand the hate for the Taliban (Tali [censored]) Black Ops wasn't worth the $65 I spent on it it should be priced at $40 2 of the "missions" were giant [censored] CUTSCENCES

OT: To be honest, Bioware has yet to make a game that will svck(from a statistics standpoint).

Like Beth with the exploration, Bio's strength lies in the writing, no matter how much it's cliché or it svcks in your opinin, it's still ten times superior to nearly everything we've seen so far(they hire professional writers for a reason). Well, maybe except for New Vegas and the Witcher 2.

I have to agree with you there, the DLC was NOT worth the money i paid for it . I just hope that there are better DLC's to come .

BETTER this is one of the best dlcs I've played

Dead money is a complete waste of money. Not to me.

Why would I want to run around a small area thats filled with nothing but bear traps. You expect to run around and kill baddies like Rambo. What is wrong with a bit of a challenge. If it wasn't for that you will be complaining 'Oh its too easy what is the point.'

Whats different from this and new vegas, NOTHING. Well you have a collar to keep you honest, whilst wearing that collar you have to watch out for speakers, tougher baddies and red gas. With the game proper your head don't explode when you are near a working speaker

What is the justification of not including this in the original game? They want more money. Well, okay say they include this in the game and they left half the things out when they are working in a tight time frame. How about game breaking glitches that breaks the game in-half. I am glad they gave it to Xbox box first to iron out most of the glitches out. If we got it on the same time, you will be crying whining that it broke your computer. Whilst I was playing I ran into one but it wasn't game breaking. All I have to do is to restart the game and it went fine after that. Without money the world will stop turning and we float off the earth.

Bethesda is pitiful and becoming EA in a lot of ways. Nothing new and innovative for a hard core gamer. Who has BioWare in their stables?

Bioware is destroying Bethesda. Kasumi Goto DLC, Zaeed Massani DLC are add-on quest that should of been included in that game including Shadow Broker. But other two, Shadow Broker and Overlord are great. Bethesda has done good DLC like SI, Point Lookout. There is one in Dragon Age Origins Witch Hunt.

This DLC is only a few hours, only 2 new monsters (pitiful) with a stupid drawn out story that nobody cares about. Few hour. For I it took me five hours on hard hard. I did care about my characters and wish I brought one with me. I reckon the story is good. You don't like reading much. Maybe.

I will NEVER buy another game from Bethesda for as long as I live. Don't then. No body is holding a gun to you head and forces you to get it. Wait and see ten months time when you whine about Skyrim.

Just wait and read the reviews of this garbage. Its garaunteed the critics are going to scream FOUL PLAY!I did. It is not the best and it not the worst but playing it is more enjoyable then replying to this. But I want to put my 2 bob in after reading your rant. Because I had the right to do it because I played it.

Sure

This is has to be the most divided DLC ever people say it svcks others say it's boss LOL
