ok I have heard alot complaining bout bugs, freezes, and glitches well first of all every game has bugs and other minor problems on release day and a few weeks later, unless they are perfect which no one is, with that being said don't buy games on release dates you wont have to worry. I know New Vegas has more bugs then other games I have experienced 1 glitch, but I believe people have seen alot but give them time they are trying swearing at them and name calling won't make them work faster, and just childish, so if u don't like the game or have issues just tell them with respect, not childish , and immature behavior. I know people will Troll this Topic and immature behavior will happen, but you will have proven my point

Indeed.

Although, as an offline 360 player, the game will remain forever as it was on release day for me, so swearing about patches would be pointless anyway. I just won't be buying any Obsidian stuff at launch in future. Que sera.

Hello Mr. Oblivious

You are obviously completely oblivious to the fact that people are having GAME BREAKING bugs that either A) Corrupt their save games B) Game breaking bugs - Bugs that literally stop you from progressing any farther/force you to revert to a earlier save/stop you from ever completely a certain quest/permanently break/lose your companions/FREEZING!

No one on here is swearing(Swear words are censored on here FYI) and only a very small amount of the people "complaining" as you put it about bugs are actually being immature and calling the developers names. You are grouping us all together as one group which is a very ignorant thing to do.

When somebody pays such a large amount of money for something (Not everyone is rich or lives in a well off country! Some of us had to work hard for New Vegas and even save up for it! Imagine that.) you will find that they sometimes get annoyed WHEN THE PRODUCT IS FAULTY! This is the problem here.

It is not a few bugs we are talking about dude. It isn't about the geckos getting stuck in the ground or the dog walking backwards in Goldsprings. We are talking about things that literally stop us from playing the game, cause us to lose our 50+ hour save files and permanently stop us from completing certain quests/the main quest.

Combine that with the freezing issues that everyone experiences (Some people never freeze - Some of us have froze 10+ times since release which is way too many times. I am representing the console community here not the PC community so please don't think that this is a hardware issue.

Now Mr. Oblivious, do you understand why we are all mad? We have payed a large amount of money for something that does not function as advertised. If somebody sold you a car that does not function as advertised, would you not complain? If somebody sold you a toaster that shoots sparks every 5th time you turn it on, would you not complain?




We are in the right and the complaining/whining/ whatever you would like to call it is going to continue until the day they fix all these GAME BREAKING bugs. The little ones(Graphical glitches, bugs that do not actually effect the way the game plays) we could all care less about really, they can be dealt with at a later date because they are not urgent. Game breaking bugs are an entirely different ball game and need to be fixed ASAP.. the game should NOT have been mass produced in the state which it is in.

Understand dude? I know you may have not experienced a single thing wrong with the game but that simply means you are lucky man, do you realize that a few review websites have officially rewarded New Vegas the "Buggiest Game of the Decade" award? That is not out of hate, immaturity or acting like a child. That is because of cold, hard facts. This game should have been delayed a month for further bug fixing, period.

Have a nice day

Well if my 360 copy had as many bugs as some people do then you could bet your ass I'd be whining about them here as well.
I have waited for the game for 1 year.
I've waited for a game from Black Isle for 6 years.
So it's obvious that I'm going to buy it on release.
And I'm sure a lot of others did for just the same reason.
They love Fallout and want their fix.
Then they buy the game and it's filled with more bugs than an ant-hive.
Of course they're going to complain about it.
Now some people are a bit more trollish, childish and rude than others but still.
I'd be pretty infuriated as well if it were me that had those problems.

Damn it guys, stop being obnoxious

It's all the generalizations that are stupid here. People think that anyone who has a problem with the game being the broken, bug ridden ant hive are trolls/children/people trying to stir up trouble but we aren't.

We are mad because the game should not have been released in this state, they should have hired more testers and delayed the game if necessary. Patching a game after release to make it playable is not acceptable. In no other industry do companies get away with this sort of stuff besides the game industry.

We all have a right to be mad TC. Don't try and say we don't because you will invoke the wrath of a thousand angry gamers.

take it somewhere like a friends one day to log on and patch it? after all ya only need to patch onces to get all the current ones so maybe in a few months leech a few hundred megs off someones ya know

Well.

The biggest issue for me are the game breaking bugs that force me to revert some old save or start a new game or use console cheat or look for spoilers so I can continue playing.
In games like Oblivion, Fallout 3 and NV, Morrowind etc, the FIRST playtrough is always the special one as you don't know anything. You have to explore, think a bit how to kill those rapist bees and deathclaws and so on.
On next playtrough you already remember how to do missions, where is what, what weapon rips the head of from deathclaws.
So if the first playtrough is pain in the ass because of bugs it's basicly ruined experience. I bought Fallout 3 on launch but I didn't even install it untill the first patch came. I recall that I started to play it when point lookout dlc was released. And never had some much issues with FO3, fo3 was a smooth experience for me.

I kinda want to kick my self to the sacks because I bought / started to play this too soon. Should have waited till early 2011....

I understand people are upset but by saying the developers svck and want to blow up their place of business come on blowing up buildings in a game is rational or what not but in the real world hmmm, also people have stated 1 and 2 had bugs as well as FO3 umm hello you think of the pattern, also not grouping this was for the people that are swearing in and acting immature, believe it or not there is a way to tell the developers how you feel without degrading them, and I work hard for every dime I have and its paid not payed FYI

+1, People should stop whining, it won't fix anything. Maybe you guys should just be calm about these sorts of things and post exactly what the problem is.

I think what the original poster is trying to state is that raging never solves a problem. Do you think they wanted to release a buggy game? Other than the occasional crash to desktop, I myself have not had any serious, gamebreaking bugs. The two patches that were rleased, thankfully fixed problems before I even had them. The real point is this, no game can be tested on every possible combination of hardware, software, driver, codec combination that exists. That is strategically impossible. This is actually the first time I have ever seen a gaming company roll out 2 patches within the first week of a game release, that is almost unheard of in the industry. That also shows they are aware of the problems and are working on them.

What is a better way to solve your problem?

Post a thread about your issue. Politely explain exactly what happened, where, what you were doing, and any error codes that might be spit out depending on what system you are using. Then include a DXdiag in your post if you are on the PC. Posts like these give the developers a lot more information they can actually use to fix the issues than "OMG this game is a buggy POS, you svck!"

I still wont get my money back. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quality_assurance

Didn't the guy below my post mention that the testers can't find every single bug in the game, If you are just patient you will be rewarded with a fallout new vegas that actually works.

EDIT: Reading that wikipedia article actually mentions about this - "QA cannot absolutely guarantee the production of quality products, unfortunately, but makes this more likely"

Unfortunately I am not quite so sure they have an excuse for bugs on the PS3 or XBOX versions. Quite a few companies do, or did, farm those ports out to other companies more knowledgeable about consoles. The problem with that though is this, the console versions tend to be released at a later date.

Guys, Really.

Its a game, sorry its broken for you. But many of us have never had the first bit of trouble, or even just minor things.
I wonder if many of the problems (on console at least) is not due to hardware issues?

i agree with switch, first of all the developers asked us to write in problems we are having. second of all , if they cant get it right before release date, and know that , y not drop the price some. i mean according to what some are saying, if we waited till a later date it would work fine. so they get a full finsihed game , but those who pre-oder dont??? that kinda seems backwards dont it?and to be perfectly honest about that lame arguement, i bought fall out 3 GOTY edition a year after it came out..... and guess what.....thats when my game started freezing up. and that had been out for a year, which proves , it dont matter how long u wait to play , they just pushing things thru . there is nothing more irritating than to be in the middle of a quest, just about finished with it, been thru alot, and then bammmmm, it freezes up and u have to restart ur ps3 and lose all that u had done. kinda rediculous.i mean ESPECIALLY since the last fall out game had the SAME EXACT PROBLEM. if u know ur last game had that problem, it is the COMPANIES RESPONSIBILITY to correct that so it dont show up in the next game. they obviously didnt do this . and like switch said, some of us aint rich and have to WORK really hard for our money, so , yeah , when we buy something that cost as much as these games do, we EXPECT it to work. if it dont, then thats is the companies fault. thats the problem, everyone has excuses, just like the government. i have bought many other games pre ordered and never had the first problem...... so how is that possible, if its supposedly soo hard to get a game right before u put it out......excuses, sorry child like excuses..... thats all it is. i mean if this wasnt a problem in fallout 3 , then i could slightly overlook it, but they already had this problem, knew it , and didnt make sure they corrected it. thats just plain ol sorryness. nothing more. if u cant make a full game without problems when u put it out, lower the starting price.raise it up when u get it fixed, or better yet...... dont put it out , before it DONE! i dunno if ill buy another fallout game until i see they will stop this GAME STOPPING PROBLEM. and if they didnt want people complaining, dont put it out before u have it right.also a good note, its not like its just a couple of us complaining about this, that means its a problem on a LARGE SCALE. and lot of people ar eupset by this, that means its not just a couple of crazies complaining, its a PROBLEM. SO FIX IT .

Topics complaining about complainers, calling them immature, whiners and childish gets the topic closed.

There are plenty of topics to constructively discuss the problems without resorting to the same behaviour.
