Fallout 3: Operation Anchorage

Fallout 3 is here to stay, as evidenced by its first downloadable expansion: Operation Anchorage. Russ Fischer took the plunge and got mixed returns.

It should also be mentioned that the pack is bugged up to hell. Grabbing the new armor breaks several quests, the Gauss Rifle's effects break the VATS damage calculations, the Chinese ninja suit fades in and out of existence (in a bad way), and a whole host of other problems, most of them caused by bone-headed copy-paste programming, evidenced by players being able to construct "hotfix" patches barely hours after the pack itself went live.

And furthermore, some of the more attractive aspects of the pack were left out. Most everyone that bought into the pack operated on the notion that the cool stuff you saw in it could be yours! Sure, the white power armor, Gauss Rifle and Ninja suit are there (though broken), but where is the winterized combat armor or the chinese uniform? Bethesda seems to have some kind of grudge against effective armor suits that feature sleeves.

And that's not even considering the potential problems that could be caused by its forced integration into the Games for Windows Live service. Fortunately players have already managed to circumvent the requirement that GfWL be logged in to use the content (there wouldn't have been any mods or hotfixes without that), but it's like they just don't know what to do with all the resources at their disposal. And given the amount of DLC they've successfully been able to produce for Oblivion, this looks lazy and uncoordinated.

Don't be so sure. The stability issues, visual bugs, and stat problems are all plaguing Xbox 360 users, and will likely plague PS3 version users once the DLC actually comes out on that platform, and you guys don't have a strong modding community to fall back on.

unangbangkay: The majority of what you're saying is wrong, here's to misinformation!

The Games That Time Forgot


The games we're pulling together in this feature won't appear on any of those best-of lists and get confused looks when you mention them in conversation. Just because time has forgotten these titles, though, doesn't mean you should forget them, too.
