Kratostruth Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 I have been playing the original Fallout 3 now. But, its cheaper to get the GOTY then the actual dlc. I've heard that downloading is better because GOTY edition is extremely buggy. Which one is better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowAFC Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 GOTY, buying it separately is a ripoff. Whether you download or buy it retail, you run the chance of a bug-filled experience. There isn't a vastly superior version on that front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kratostruth Posted April 14, 2012 Author Share Posted April 14, 2012 Thanks. Wasn't sure. I saw conflicting reports on other forums so I figured I would ask. I still think its stupid though that the dlc on PSN hasn't been discounted yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminator Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 (edited) GOTY, buying it separately is a ripoff. Whether you download or buy it retail, you run the chance of a bug-filled experience. There isn't a vastly superior version on that front. This^ There is no difference between downloading everything separately and buying the GOTY. The GOTY is way cheaper and not as buggy as some have made it out to be but it varies from person to person. Edited April 14, 2012 by Terminator Fixed typo.

Harry94_ Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 The individual DLCs are about £10, right? I bought my GOTY version for £11.99, so you can see how much price saving there is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each DLC add-on sells for about 10$ Broken Steel - 10$ The Pitt - 10$ Operation Anchorage - 10$ Mothership Zeta - 10$ Point Lookout - 10$ DLC total - 50$ Fallout 3 Game of the Year - 19,99$ NEW Fallout 3 Game of the Year - 9,99$ | 14,99$ USED I think you get the ideal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mann0802 Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 The GOTY edition is definitely worth the money. It may be buggy but that doesn't ruin it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake_357 Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Well, all 5 DLC would add up to $50 The GOTY, in a new case, with new disc, and all 5 DLC is $20 new and $15-$17 used. So yeah, pretty obvious choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobsnotmyuncle Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 20 bucks where I am too. I just bought it sunday. Started it yesterday and found a glitch in like half an hour... there was a work around but not a good sign. Of course, that happened to me with Skyrim as well and I had no major issues after that other then needing to reset once in a while cause I was playing too long and the lag got bad or the odd freeze.

WZ_PSX Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 (edited) Well guinea pig here. I chose the "more expensive but perhaps less buggy" route, with Vanilla + DLC Broken Steel. Basically giving up four "free" DLCs for a "maybe the game will be more stable". Am not regretting it ( so far ). I have read so much about the game being buggy, and yet 60h into it, still going fine. Though maybe it would be just as stable with the other DLCs, no idea... I do get the odd freeze, when playing 6h straight or more, but that's about it. A reboot & it's done. Note this is only because Broken Steel seems the only "must have" dlc & I am not sure I'll get more, as the game is going to last me 100+ hours easily as it is. If you intend to get all DLCs anyway, GOTY all the way. Edited May 1, 2012 by WZ_PSX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pseudonym Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Just wondering if i will have any problems playing the GOTY just for the DLC. Having plat'd the original game could i just put the GOTY disc in and carry on playing the DLC or are the saves not compatable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminator Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 The saves from the original release will work with the GOTY Edition but not the other way round . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok cheers, might put this on my 'games to do if i get time' list. Seems strange how it only works one way, but then again cant see many people wanting to buy the original after the GOTY edition.
