Enough is Enough

I won't buy any DLC for this game until the game works fairly well, I pre-ordered the game long ago and I was expecting an epic quest full of surprises but my surprise was to find out that the game is broken at so many levels that I could have waited for the GOTY edition next year. The devs should fix this issue ASAP or I will just sell my game and buy something else!

If we were just talking about texture issues, I'd say you were overreacting. But the game save stuff and some of the of the game breaking bugs are just inexcusable. If you bought a movie that you couldn't watch, it would be broken. Well, I own a copy of Fallout New Vegas that I can't play because my save files are corrupt and each time I get to a certain point in the game, the saves corrupt. So...it's broken...

Yeah, exactly. I hate sounding like a ranting lunatic but it's really hard to not wonder what the hell happened when you read all of these bugs.

Well we have to read these bugs because WE CAN'T PLAY THE GAME if the game were not broken then we would be playing it,We did not pay $60 to have to sit on forums reading and writing about glitches and bugs because we can't play a game?

posted my game stopper issue here - http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1123619-gomorrah-exit-crash/

I won't go so far as calling the game a joke, or insulting the company, but they do have some things to do to re-earn there reputation with me. I even pondered getting this on PC, and probably should have so I could fix these issues myself. I have to agree though, It doesn't seem like they've done enough beta testing. Should hire me, I've got the experience and know how to break stuff and document it :D!

other issues encountered that required reset to fix - fps/lag - got stuck on a rock - brightness issues - screen while lock-picking - tortured dead npc's

I can't believe this game made it through QA in this state. Some of these things are blatantly obvious. Hell, most games wouldn't survive after something like this. Luckily, it's a franchise that's been around a while. An independent developer would probably end up losing a lot of money with an issue like this with a new game.

As a European citizen I have to wait till Friday and have been extremely pepped up about this game since its release date. After reading all these constant, multiple glitches and bugs if its worth going to get... I love fallout 3 and love the look of this game but it does upset me to think that its been a quick throw out and unless a bug is made within a few days after the world release (22nd) then it could be a lot more damaging to their reputation as of yet.

im 8 hours in and only glitch I had was a few things falling through the ground like dead npcs. This is still unacceptable, though. They better get this patch out quick if they want to make up for this. First DLC should be free or half off to atone for this embarassment. Obsidian and their bug ridden games are sad.

And it is funny how so many people still do not release this is not bethesda's game. Their games arent this bugged. Obsidian has a habit of leaving game breaking bugs in their games, like in KoToR 2.

ive only experienced a few small but annoying bugs..enemys getting caught in objects or disappearing altogether..my character keeps holding his weapon up at an odd angle and some ground textures going wonky and changing colors..but i fear whats to come..

my gripe is they knew this game was like this before it was shipped..they had to know it so why not delay it and fix it right the first time...i seriously doubt one or two patches are going to fix this mess..i really dislike this "go ahead and ship it broken we can always patch it later" attitude..im really disappointed in obsidian and bethesda with how this all turned out..

well you can all consider yourselves lucky of being able to play for two hours straight with only few minor glitches or even for reaching the strip. Every of you here arent to complain compared to me because 1st: i encountered most of the glitch here except the corrupted save file and dlc thing and 2nd: i cant play for more than 10 min straight without it saying disc unreadable. As long as i keep walking im good, but as soon as i enter a building or i fast travel thats where it says it. All of you are expecting the patch to fix most of the glitches but i aint even sure that it will fix mine.

Sounds like you have an issue with your disc reader on your xbox. For a game to just stop working like that when it was before, it could be the game isn't being read properly. Try installing it to HD and see if you still get the issue. If you are, then it's definitely something more serious, but I haven't heard of this issue yet today.

Why is it only doing it for that game? every other game i have are working pretty well. And installing it to hard drive aint helping it. The only way i can play for 10min is after it crashes, i have to clear my cache each time or else it just wont start again. i dont know how this could be related to disc reader.

I'm currently working on some black-screen crash avoidance tactics for some of these bugs, more information ( http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1123619-gomorrah-exit-crash/ ) Don't mind the title, as it was my original issue.

i made it to where i could look and aim again. if anyone has this problem try to kill anything and if it goes into a cinematic it should fix it. i would try and kill them in vats but i didnt do that. Hope this helps.

I've been playing the game almost since like twenty minutes after it was released and I have to say I love it! The only thing I don't like is the loading issues it seems to have going from one area to another, opening doors etc, I wish that were much faster and smoother - but hey this is a new fun filled vast wasteland to explore and enjoy and our family is having a blast with it!

went to use vats last night on a gecko standing on a hill and for some reason vats looked way up in the sky and wouldnt let me target enemy at all..also there was an ant walking on its side like it was on an incline but there was no incline so it looked like a car up on two wheels..

I've played over 20 hours on my xbox with only a single issue (gun raising over head or disappearing in certain locations). No crashes, no freezes, no issues with saved games. But I'm playing on a new "S" 360 that's only been used for one other game. My guess is that they tested on clean new 360s.

I was able to go back to a save before I finished come fly mission and that was not corrupted. I get the DLC content not available message when I loaded up every other game. I continued playing from that save creating new saves every 30 minutes hoping that would fix the issue. I loaded up a save this morning where I am on the vegas strip and I am still getting the DLC error message. I tried loading up a few different saves and nothing will load. The game is glitchy and big frame rate issues. I am jealous of all the people who are not having issues. Yes, I have sent a report into Bethesda complaining about the DLC content.

I never even loaded up my DLC content I got from gamestop.

Problems I have run into so far:

Corrupted saves from DLC content
when holding a rifle some times my arms go way up on screen
VATS not targeting when you ask to
Frame rate issues. I guess that is what it is when the game stutters
NCR attacks me when I go into McClearn airport to do a delivery mission. Also the option to deliver the invoice did not pop up until I left the building and went back in still. (I am in good standing with the NCR)

I am bummed out that the game is unplayable. I would start a new game but why put the time in if the files wont work. I would love an answer about whether or not files will work . I will give it to the weekend for them to get it working or the game is getting returned since at this point it is defective.
