I am glad to see some have no issues and I have heard the argument that it works great for the majority and bad for the few who post but my experience with NV has been very frustrating and I have found every issue I have experience already documented hear or the wiki. I go to wiki and here to help avoid issues and to find viable workarounds but should I have too? This game is mostly unplayable over 30 min intervals (sometimes less). Even my kids prefer playing F3 to NV because of the lockups.
I agree with others that we should not have to wait for a GotY edition or platinum re-release to get a fully patched game. I am patient and understand these issues take time but if the devs communicated more about what is being addressed, avoid being vague and when it will be fixed (or not if thats the case) alot of folks wouldn't be so upset.
I don't mind spoilers and if I have to read through pages of doumentation to make it playable thats fine but nothing peeves me more is losing several hours of play just to find the correct path to avoid issues that have been around since launch. I used .::AleisterCrowley::.'s fix page to help with the freezing (much appreciated by the way) and still I get constant freezes. Hard resetting my PS3's every time can't be good on the hardware either.
I have playing since F1 so I know bugs ar par for the course but NV feels unfinished. They should have tested it better prior to launch. Honestly I would rather wait longer to get it than get it earlier in an unfinished state. Gamebryo is old I know, but my F3 GotY on the 360 and PS3 with over 10mb saves don't have nearly the issues that NV has. Hell they still haven't addressed the Radio play problems and if I want to hear all the songs NV has to offer I have to listen to them from my J3.
