I figured your company needed some help, so here:

1. Continue to distract people away from the bugs and glitches - after all, they increase game length when people lose saves/playtime from crashes.
2. Fire the "300 beta testers" that were responsible for this, as the money can be better spent on people that do important stuff for the company, like hiring people to post "Please be patient, they are doing all they can" messages in game forums under the guise of anonymous, happy customers when people trash the game's technical achievements. If a tester can't find bugs in this game, chances are they can't find their [censored] with both hands and someone holding a flashlight for them.
3. Keep laughing all the way to the bank - after all, it's not like your customer's money can crash or need a patch, and you've already got it.

I'll be expecting my check in the mail.

Sincerely,

Your Game Company svcks

I get your angry. There are a lot of crashes.
It hasn't really bothered me though. You just can't go long without entering a doorway or waiting, or sleeping... problem solved.

You are right, but the simple fix is to save often.

Please be patient. They are doing all they can.

I never get tired of these "my game doesn't work or i think it svcks, so everyone else's doesn't work either or they think that it svcks too, and everyone who claims otherwise is hired by the company" conspiracies :rofl:

Where's my paycheck Bethesda? :swear:

I had to. It was there and I couldn't resist. ;p

To be honest I could care less about the caps, and I really do think that NV is a big improvement over FO 3 which I also like. For me though, I guess I never expected to see another Fallout 1 or 2 or even Tactics so I don't get all worked up about it like alot of us old school fans. I mean seriously, can there be any greater disappointment in the Fallout series than Tactics: BoS? I think you're letting nostalgia get the better of you.

You make a valid point sir. Tactics: BOS svcked.

I have a PS3 in excellent condition, well-ventilated, and dust-free. The last game I played fully on it was Castlevania: Lords of Shadow. That game crashed zero times, froze zero times, and experienced visual slowdown zero times. I could leave that game paused or play it for hours and hours on end with absolutely no technical issues. I had completed the entire game before the first patch came out. How is that possible, unless....

THEY KNOW HOW TO MAKE A GAME THAT WORKS.

Sigh. All economic transactions are based on voluntary, consential choice. Due to this, it's in Bethesda's interest to keep their customers happy, so that they'll purchase future products such as DLCs and sequels. So, in a rational long-term perspective, the customers' money can indeed 'crash' (i.e. go to competitors instead). If they're good businessmen, they're working hard to improve the game as we speak. Contrary to your commie delusions, businessmen don't "laugh all the way to the bank" and screw their customers. Not if they want to remain profitable.

Oh, so no 360 owners or PC owners are complaining?

Sir, you fail.

Explain the bolded part please, and then describe how either my views or myself are Communist, Nikolai.

PS3 has


Heh heh, wonder how many people around here will get that.

Sure there's bugs, yes they'll get patched, yes we'll all enjoy the game after it's patched.

There's a room full of code monkeys going tlakkity tlakkity tlakkity tlak on keyboards right now.

To the op: you could have contacted Bethesda directly with your suggestion. "Contact Us" links are at the bottom of every page.

Some users are experiencing problems. Others are not. They have released patches and are continuing to work on them. PC patches can be released directly, howeverI do believe, although I'm not sure because I don't play on a console, that the patches have to go through approval by the appropriate companies before being released. Does anyone know if there is any information for either the ps3 or the 360?

You can state your opinions, good or bad, as long as you stay within the forum rules you agreed to abide by when you joined. Flaming, suggestions of piracy, and other issues will get the thread locked. If someone is flaming or spamming, use the report button and let the mods sort it out. Answering a flame with a flame is a good way to end up with a warning.

The hyperbole was directed at you for using the tired old leftie phrase "laughing all the way to the bank" while attacking business, and because your opening post seemed like an angry and irrational rant as well. The game was just released; give them some time to make a quality patch that addresses your concerns. Becoming angry and impatient won't do you any good.

P.S. I like how you edited your post in order to add part of my name at the end, as if that has any relevance at all. :rolleyes:

"Sure there's game-breaking bugs, yes they'll get patched months down the road around the time it should have been released, whoever is still around by then will enjoy it with the other eight people."

Fixed. I loved the code monkey part, as that is about as close to dead on as describing Obsidian as anyone has gotten.

There may be more than eight. Considering people are still playing NWN2, KotoR2, and New Vegas even with the problems. Even with the faint hope there will ever be official patches for some of them. New Vegas? I think there's a better chance of official patches, actually.

The majority of crashes are on PS3. I have a 360. With zero serious problems.

Angry? Sure, mixed with disappointment. Irrational? Hardly. Games should be able to be played through their entirety upon release. Sorry but "get the capital now, patch it later" does not sit well with me - and shouldn't with anyone who bought or rented this. In my opinion, I would go so far as to say that most people defending this POS are blindly trying to justify their purchase.

not had many problems with the game, its one of my fav game's!

and no i do not work for Bethesda or Obsidian and neither a really devoted fan!

sometimes you just have to be patient with some buggy games, i guess us pc users are used to that. (like the old operation flashpoint bugs etc)

I've been playing it on my PC laptop for about 80 hours now, and have only come across one bug so far (the monorail quest, where an event wouldn't trigger properly). The game runs smooth, with 1-second loading screens, and has only crashed twice. The only minor source of annoyance is Steam, as the logon screen occasionally freezes.

Your opinion.

I've had a couple of bark scorpions that thought they were submarines; only the top of their stingers were showing above the ground. I've had a few freezes. I had a couple of ants go airborne, taking lessons from the deathclaws and protectrons in FO3, I guess. I may run into more later, but so far, playing since the first day, that's about it.

I'm not blindly trying to justify my purchase. I'm enjoying the game so far. Besides doing my moderating stuff here, I, like most others who aren't experiencing problems or glitches, am playing the game, not posting on the forums. That may be hard for people who have experienced a lot of problems to accept, but its as likely to be true as the assumption that anyone who posts here to say so is blindly trying to justify their purchase.

Does anyone else get the weird corpse-go-berzerk glitch?
i've had it with one of the securitrons on the strip (one of my rage-venting killing sprees). was pretty funny.

Or the one where you can't move a corpse because one of the limbs is stuck in the ground?

If that means what i think it means, not yet in NV. Several times in Fallout 3 and once in Oblivion, though.

what a croc

I've suffered many bugs/glitchs in the game, for example NPCs stuck on weird angles from the ground, the rad/bark scorpian bug mentioned by "Talaran" as well as the collison bug mentioned by "Mad hatters in jeans" just to name a few; this has been dissapointing although, i've not had one game breaking bug as of yet (knock on wood) and ofc I save regulary just in case (I'm on PC btw). My friend on 360 however has not been nearly so lucky, suffering both a crash, corrupted saves and other bugs, including the scorpian one. So I understand the frustrations from what has been quite frankly BAD testing, and I'm sure my friend understands it better, though it is worth noting he is enjoying the game as am I, and it's likely I will continue to do so.

It is worth noting for all those who believe everyone who post they enjoy the game and are not just reporting bugs that he like many many others I'm sure, wouldn't post on here or report the bugs on forums, so you only see the "vocal minority". Someone at Bethesda should make a bug report thread for this (provided there isnt already) so we can report this stuff and just ignore people who want to moan easier.

I've experienced about 5 glitches and 2 crashes since starting a week ago, and none of the glitches have been game breaking. As said earlier, I'm fairly sure that Bethesda knows that just running away with the money will just give money to their competitors, and deter people from their next title. While I can accept that surely there is an abnormally large amount of bugs in this game, it's quite standard for a Bethesda game to be bugged to hell until the first few patches, if I recall correctly. I agree they need more beta testing, but I don't think they don't care that this is all glitchy at the moment, and I can very much imagine the room of code monkeys tapping away on their keyboards as we speak, trying to satisfy players for their moneys worth.
