A couple of patches have been released? Maybe for the PC, but the consoles have only gotten one patch so far. Outside of corrupted saves there are problems in the game that need to be addressed and are not passable with the excuse of "generally games like this". The whole not being able to shoot/reload/holster a single load weapon after leaving vats for damn near 10 seconds is NOT an acceptable glitch.
Blame Microsoft/Sony for Patch delays for the consoles, same goes for Console only problem fixes. It the second patch that fixes saves according to the PC Patch Notes. The delay is due to Microsoft testing protocols etc.
