I just need to get this off my chest.

I bought Fallout:New Vegas on release day, as I have loved the Fallout games since the original. I took the game home, threw it in the Xbox and discovered, much to my dismay: glitches, issues and problems (oh my).

This game is broken.

I don't care who's fault it is, it could be Obsidian, Bethesda or my grandmother. I don't care, I just want it fixed.

Because this game is broken.

But... don't read this and then tell me to restart a new character or load an old save or clear the cache. None of that is the problem. It's a console platform, I shouldn't have to do those things. I've said it before and will, sadly, likely have to say it again: The game is supposed to be finished BEFORE you put it in the box.

The problem is very simple: this game is broken.

So don't tell me to AVOID certain quests if they're buggy. You're missing the point. I bought the game, because I want to play the WHOLE game. Why put the quests in, if not to play them? If I purchase a movie on DVD, then while trying to watch it discover 10 minutes of footage are missing, I did not get what I paid for. I will return the movie to the store and get a copy that contains (Wait for it...) the WHOLE movie.

Oh, by the way, this game is broken.

Don't read this and post that you didn't have any problems with the game, you never encountered a glitch and you don't know what my problem is because your game is great and problem free. Hey, if that is the case for you... good for you. But why are you telling me? IF you're not having any problems with the game why are you on these forums and not playing it? AND if you AREN'T having any issues with the game and you ARE here posting on this thread about that... I sincerely hope you and your loved ones die in a fiery car crash, because your behavior is just rude.

And this game is broken.

Before you post it, I'm very much aware that video game companies don't care as long as they get our money. I also know they will only do the bare minimum of corrections because THEY KNOW the fan base will likely buy the next game anyway.

Which leads me to believe this game will very likely REMAIN broken.

I don't want an apology from anyone. I don't want a refund. I don't want to return the game. I want the glitches and issues fixed. What I want is to play the game. What I want is some information about when I might be able to do that. What's pissing me off is the silence from anyone and everyone connected to the creation of this game. I understand patches and fixes take time, but it's been over a month since I've seen ANY new info posted from anyone saying anything about anything. This game is what? 4 months old, still damn near completely unplayable, and from what I can tell, not one person has gotten a single coherent or useful answer about anything.

Sing along if you know the words.
This game is broken.

And let's be honest, the "patch" that they did put out didn't do much good.

The game is still broken.

I am neither whining, crying nor [censored]ing. I am complaining. This is a complaint. And more to the point, I believe I have a legitimate one. Also, this is the Fallout:NV general discussion forum for the Xbox 360. So, yes, this is the correct place for this post. This post is my opinion of the situation. If yours differs, I don't care. This post was for me, because I wished to purge.

So... one more time for the cheap seats.

This game is broken.

I'm gonna go read a book.

Consoles are nothing but simple computers with a specific purpose. To play video games. And given that they are computers, for you to think you shouldn't have to do basic computer maintenance is just downright laughable. Might as well never dust it out while you are at it, then complain to Microsoft about it.

And of course, you missed the point.

I agree with you 100% on that one, a little user maintenance goes a long way with any technology.

like what?

Cleaning out dust for one thing.

Posting a long list and stating right at the start that others opinions don't mean shiola, is a rant.
If you dislike the game and wish to have your opinions listened to, open the forum up not lock the topic at birth.

A lot will agree with you, others will not.
The point is no ones going to bother with this or even care as it is now.
If the users don't post clear and informative infomation between themselves, why should a developer of even the lowest level take action.

I'm on PC had troubles with the gameplay bugs as most did, but not bad ones as many others.
I can not speak for console users as I'm not one, if others here are and have had problems maybe they can help.

Although I do agree with the whole "this game is broken" argument you have to remember how big this game is. I'm not talking about actual game world size but rather content and the most allowance of free will in a game. Of course its going to be a bit buggy and have some issues. Its just one of those thing (you should have realized that in FO3) that has to be worked on constantly. There is no possible way to make a game like this and not have the problems that it does. Like I said, I do agree that it is broke. However, it was as complete as possible when released.

Another broken Fallout game, what a surprise :spotted owl:

I'm with OP. I have experience minor issues, but have come across freezes and bugs. It was enough for me to keep playing on, but when you anticipate a product like FO, you expect something good, because that's the name there making for themselves, and with that will come a reputation where people expect better and better. FO3 got GOTY, that should be a standard that should be kept up. But too many people experience too many problems with the game and it puts them off.

Much like the OP, please don't go all technical on my ass. It's with regards with a product I bought and expected a little more from.

Fallout 3 got GOTY , and what, I still suffer from crashes and bugs, but I dont rant about this, AND its GOTY edition, where is my clean game???

Broken games are a tradition of Bethesda, Obsidian and even the Fallout series. Why did you think this was any different?

Dont Forget EA and Blizzard

Blizzard + Broken? Does not compute :huh: Despite Activision owning them.

And EA has gotten a bit better lately, Activision is the new big, bad publisher.

Or every single company on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_video_game_developers.

• Where you had posted this thread originally was the http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/forum/78-fallout-new-vegas-general-discussion/ - which covers all platforms. I have moved this to the http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/forum/113-fallout-new-vegas-xbox-360-issues/ forum. So now it's in the right place.
  
• OP has vented, and clearly isn't interested in a discussion on this matter. This thread has served it's purpose, so I'm locking it.
