Fallout 3 GOTY?

I'm goin to best buy tonight and would like to pick up a new game. Is the goty edition of fallout 3 really that buggy? I would like to play this before New Vegas and am skeptical about picking it up. This will be my first time playing fallout 3, I don't have the original game.(If that matters?)

I have the original and even it is not really buggy at all. Go for the GOTY, just save often and you won't have any problems.LightR

Thanks :). Sorry to bug you for one more question but did you download any dlc and if you did did you have problems with it?FALLENxANGEL84

Somwhere else I read it was the other way around - the GOTY was less buggy than the stand alone game with the DLC's?Roguey000

I have just seen some reviews online from users and see that the game corrupts your game saves. Is this really true? I don't want to fork over hours of time only to have the save get corrupted.FALLENxANGEL84

It's buggy, but it shouldn't ruin the game for you. The game is not broken, it just has a few minor hiccups.

Just watch out during Operation: Anchorage. Lags like hell at a certain point. Other than that, you should be fine.

Currently playing F3 GotY.

The game is just fine. I've had a couple a freezes in 60 hours of game play.

Just completed Point Lookout problems.

The game is Epic. Tons of playing hours and High Replay Value.

My GOTY edition has frozen a couple times, but I save often so it wasn't too devastating. I can definitely be discouraging though if you happen to lose a lot of data from a freeze.

Its amazing, despite the large amount of frame rate, glitches and freezing issues. Just save frequently :)

Mine froze in Rivet City, but it had saved automatically just before, so did not lose progress. Watch out when you get there.

I had the original fallout 3 then decided I would get game of the year edition. To start with the game runs perfectly fine however the more time you invest in the game (not just in one sitting) the poorer the frame rate seems to get. However the game is awesome enough to be worth enduring it, I wish you could compact the amount of space it takes, same with Oblivion.

My only problem with FO3 GOTY, apart from the odd freeze which is expected, was the lag-fest halfway through Operation: Anchorage. Didn't freeze, but was running at probably less than a frame a second.
