<a href="http://gamebanshee.com/news/static/EkFFFAFZkyrZIYxldB.php">MTV Player have more of the lessons Bethesda learned for Fallout 4</a>:
<br>
<blockquote>“Greatest lesson? Don’t let the game end, and don’t have a level cap,” said Howard.</blockquote>
<br>
<a href="http://www.oxmpodcast.com/?p=179">OXM Podcast say the next DLC will be delayed</a>:
<br>
<blockquote>It'll probably be early March-ish now.</blockquote>
<br>
... and <a href="http://www.xbox360achievements.org/news/news-2140-x360a-Review--Fallout-3-s-Operation-Anchorage-DLC.html">there are</a> a <a href="http://www.360evolved.com/2009/01/28/review-fallout-3-operation-anchorage/">bunch of</a> reviews <a href="http://www.atomicgamer.com/article.php?id=717">out for</a> Operation: Anchorage
<br>
<blockquote>As should be expected in a mission simulating a military campaign, there's quite a lot of combat to be had here. Players can expect to be in combat for the vast majority of their time in Operation Anchorage
<br>

<br>
THE GOOD- Adds a totally new spin to the Fallout 3 formula. Adds new achievements. May attract more fans of action shooters. The level design is gorgeous. Great deal for the price. You get some nice "items" for completing the content.
<br>
<br>
THE BAD- hmm, Fans of Fallout 3’s RPG gameplay style might feel left out…….
<br>

<br>
If anything, Operation Anchorage is a good hint of what's to come from Bethesda in future downloadable packs. With the third pack, coming in March, removing the game's ending and allowing players to continue the quest, we look forward to seeing this level of production values added to the game and integrated better with everything our wasteland adventurers have already done.</blockquote>
<br>
In order: 9/10; 9.5/10; 78%. Also: Removing the end = "production values"?

Since when did MTV start reviewing RPGs?

Fallout 3 isn't a recoilless weapon capable of blowing tanks.

Since when did MTV start reviewing RPGs?

MTV jumps on any sort of media hype that will attract the unwashed masses and pander to the shallow jackasses in our sick, sad society.

 

[poocolator]

MTV? Never heard of it.

THE GOOD- Adds a totally new spin [first person shooting] to the Fallout 3 formula.

Eh?

THE GOOD- Adds new achievements.

Yaay!

THE GOOD- May attract more fans of action shooters.

Who else could FO3 attract?
At least, they're struggling to cater to their crowd, I suppose. A pity it's borne of ineptitude.

Fallout 3 had RPG gameplay?

 

[denizsi]

Yes. Rockets, Plasma weapons and Grenades. DLC is more lead-driven.

 

[Claw]

I take it the real lesson is that the gaming media are still whores?

Just surprised they would get involved in a 'nerdy' pastime. Of course Todd is one of the cool kids... could you imagine mid 90s MTV reviewing Wizardry 7 or a Gold Box game?

3/10 on gamekult :
An...courage, runaway !!!

Good :
Some level sets rather good.

Bad :
Absolute boredom
Repetitive to death
Broken IA
Translations
Still a RPG???


Well, nothing else than RPG's future, isn't it?

 

[poocolator]

I think Bethesduh has confused RPG (roleplaying game) with BFG (big fucking gun) or quite possibly, and more excusably, RPG (rocket-propelled grenade). Suddenly, the universe makes more sense.

Many people here act like the shooting action in Fallout 3 is good. It's not. In fact, the closest comparison I can make to any game is Fire Warrior.
