Fallout: NV Mega Wasteland Hype Thread-Gamespot-Consoles 7.5-PC 8.5

PC version will get 8.5, I predict.

Why are people denying the bugs? Tons of people report getting bugs, and we know bugs are EXTREMELY inconsistent. Gamespot got a lot of bugs when they played it, thats not so hard to believe. Especially considering its using the engine that the buggy Oblivion and Fallout 3 used, not to mention Obsidian is well known for being pretty bad with bugs. Come on guys. I like the game a lot too, but I also live in reality.Skittles_McGee

I am not denying bugs, I am saying it like it si from my experience with the PC version. I have not had any crashes, freezes or any game breaking bugs in the pc version. The odd characters gets stuck and the odd slowdown (only had one slowdown in one exact building).

I am not denying that others are having those issues, I am sure they are.

But a game liek Red Dead Redemption (which I enjoyed), has WAY more bugs then what I have experience so far with New Vegas. And yet Rockstar gets a pass for RDR on the bugs and issues.

WTF? I'm getting it anyway.

I don't feel like reading the review or watching the video...

If you've played FO3, you know exactly what you're getting. You don't need no steeeenkin' review :P

Wow. Just saw this now. Flopout: Flop Vegas?

Oh yeah, definitely. Of course, as you said, YMMV when it comes to bugs/glitches, so some people simply haven't experienced what others have. Plus, it isn't like a buggy game with technical issues was unexpected. I'd have been FLOORED if this came out noticeably better than Oblivion or FO3, both which required patches on the various platforms as well. I guess what surprises me is that the actual game didn't seem to be viewed as favorably as FO3 was.

Forcing? How? You know what GS did when SE asked Nicely for a 30 day window before reviews...

If there is gonna be a GOTY edition it would definitely be worth the wait, it's really not smart to buy the game right now since it has so many bugs.

7.5? lulz! classic...

don't care one bit, i am still just as excited to get to play this as i was before.

i imagine by the time i get around to playing it there wil be a pile of patches out that will fix the tech probems.

The story goes Bethesda tells site to take down bad review lest they lose advertising dollars.

I played 10 hours and have encountered very little bugs. Only once did I encounter one where I had to restart

I love me some FO, and I'm def. getting New Vegas, but don't you think that if a publisher doesn't want a critic to be "harsh on their unfinished product", I reckon it would be best to delay the launch a little, or withhold review copies. Especially since there's a patch coming a week after release!

I also like me some gossips! :P

Fallout new vegas

360 = 8.5

pc = 9.0

I have this game on PS3 and i've yet to encounter any bugs....at all...

about5 hours into the game..

maybe i'm lucky:P

7.5? That's pretty low for Fallout. I was expecting 8.5 at least

Yeah, these things vary. I had a good run early with my PS3 copy. This afternoon I started getting the stuttering or pausing when running fullout for a period of time. Seemed to get worse the longer I played, but all I had to do was save up, quit the game, and restart and I was good for another hour and a half or so.

Lower than I was expecting, as it is a killer game. However, I got hit with 3 more freezes tonight. That is 4 within 9 total hours of play time so far. So, it is indeed buggy, but I am expecting a patch to address this. I still think that the game itself is fantastic.

I find that when it comes to bugs, I am extremely lucky. I rarely ever encounter them even with games that are infamously buggy and so far, New Vegas is no exception.

I really hope fallout 4 or what not has a brand new engine because it needs it.

7.5? Ouch. GS has been merciless lately :|. Here comes the inevitable "I WAS NEVER HYPED FOR DIS LULZ 7.5 OWNT IM NOT BUYINZ THIS!"

Is it just me or are there a lot of games this fall with better user reception than review(LOS, this, etc).?

LOL

Didn't even score AA :?

I'm kind of glad I didn't purchase New Vegas right away. I had a feeling it would end up like this.

"Vanquish is my favorite game this year, beating out StarCraft II and Mass Effect 2 for me. It isn't long, but I'd rather have 7 hours of amazing than 20 hours of meh!" Hmm maybe the best quote of yesterday was foreshadowing for today :shock:jg4xchamp

Better than Bayonetta?
