Mike Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Fallout 3 - Point Lookout - Out today for XBox360 _5uSZ7REcWg Point Lookout takes place in the Fallout equivalent of Point Lookout State Park[3], a new swampland area with new quests and enemies. Point Lookout in the Fallout setting is supposedly more of a "seaside vacation town with a boardwalk" and said to have a larger landscape between one sixth and one fifth the size of the Capital Wasteland[4] where "the bombs didn't actually fall, but the world has left it behind". Being designed by Joel Burgess and Nate Purkeypile, it has been stated it will have a "swampy-horror vibe"[3] and will be the most open-ended of all add-ons[5]. Point Lookout will be playable before finishing the main quest, much like Operation: Anchorage and The Pitt, which can be played immediately upon exiting Vault 101. You'll receive a radio transmission that initially starts the quest The Local Flavor. As with previous add-ons, the main questline is said to add about 3 to 4 hours worth of game time[4]. Followers cannot follow you to Point Lookout, but you will be able to travel back to the Capital Wasteland via the Duchess Gambit anytime after arriving, which means you can spend as much time as you like exploring, and still head back home when need be. This is the second add-on to allow players to break away from the quest line after starting, the first being Broken Steel. Several side-quests found in Point Lookout include investigating a woman named Consance Blackhall who has an obsession with the local cult, helping to gather ingredients for a tonic for a swamp denizen who's sick, and aiding a child who's been badly mutated from years of living off of the swamp water.[6]. http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/fallout/images/thumb/1/13/Point_Lookout_Scrapper.jpg/800px-Point_Lookout_Scrapper.jpg More details here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caseys Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 When is DLC coming out for PS3? I bought the Windows version of fallout 3 as I don't own a 360. Installed XP on a partion, installed the bloody dotnet framework update for the latest version of Microsoft Live and it trashed my Fallout 3 install Even after an uninstall, reboot and removing every trace of fallout 3 on the registry it wouldn't reinstall so had to install XP again then fallout! Wondering if I should try again and possibly shaft my XP partition again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted June 23, 2009 Author Share Posted June 23, 2009 When is DLC coming out for PS3? The rumour is end of the year ..also a 'game of the year edition' should be on it's way, featuring all five DLCss - not sure the release for that yet? I'll probably buy it again for PS3 just to play through again as a bad ass this time Wondering if I should try again and possibly shaft my XP partition again It's probably easier just to buy an XBox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorin Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 play through again as a bad ass this time I'm going to do that too... but forcing myself to wait until I get my 50 inches of plasma goodness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt H Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 ooh, those shots looks awesome! Will have to get this if / when the do a PS3 edition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colsoop Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 Quite a good little expansion with some interesting characters - Desmond is funny. Best mission is definitely velvet curtain. A couple of bugs for me, a few times it took ages to load when leaving a building and it also just crashed once or twice. Frame rate drops right down near the mansion too.

Benyon Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 I downloaded the new Mothership Zeta add on yesterday. Only played a little but quite cool. Basically you are captured by aliens! I was thinking of getting that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay_vr6 Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Point lookout was good, I enjoyed it and didn't have a single crash or problem. Downloaded Mothership zeta at the weekend and suddenly with the new 1.7 update it crashed every 5 mins, to the point i had to reset the machine, gits!
