Wow, you make a lot of topics about this game. I have not played it yet but I have heard of a lot of bugs. I know they are releasing patches but that doesn't cut it for me. When devs put that much money into a game they should do everything they can to make it as smooth as possible. There is simply no excuse for a game freezing, and a few bugs are excusable but not nearly as many as I've seen on Youtube. No game should be released in that condition and just patched after the fact, that is cheap and sloppy. I'll wait for the goty edition and hopefully all the major problems will be fixed by then.INF1DEL
You're seriously going to wait for a GotY edition? You have a long time to wait then. If they even release a GotY version at all. Me, I haven't experienced any bugs so I'm finding the game to be much better than Fallout 3. Better story & characters, more depth, more to do, more locations, gambling, Fisto and more choices. So yeah I've been playing it almost none stop since I bought it last week.
I own about 85 xbox 360 games and New Vegas is the only game that constantly crashes on me at 15 minutes play time tops (and that's happened about 25 times before I just decided the disc was a coaster). The 360 I was using it on is a brand new 250 gig one and it's the only game I've had any problems with on this system. I'm surprised at how many people really don't get that the game is very very buggy for a whole lot of people. Me personally, I've talked to about 5 friends who all have varying degrees of bugginess with the game as well. But even the least of the issues of any of my friends are random freezes.
I'll throw in that I've solved Fallout 3 and played/solved 4 expansions with a total of about 4 bugs/glitches experianced at all. All of them were the same place in one of the expansions or a messed up polygon in a monster.
New Vegas for me is honestly the worst game experiance i've ever had dating back to pong.

Not everyone has had the same experience though. I have over 12 hours on one playthrough and the only problem I've experienced is one crash. That is it. Why is it that some people consider the game garbage (which it isn't) and others are loving the game. Now I don't know if this is relevant but when I play the game I'm not connected to XBL (to save bandwidth) so maybe that has something to do with it?
really? i didnt even finish it because it was so buggy and glitchy, almost everytime i fast traveled there would be people floating in mid air, a lot of the time i would do something that should have made the people start attacking me (like freeing the prisoner's from the fiend's) but i opened the gates, they started sneaking out, all with 3 fiends watching me and never lifted a finger against me. also i didnt think it was as good as fallout 3, smaller world with less to do and a lot more boring.

It's not a smaller world. There are 400 locations to visit, compared to Fallout 3's 160 (I think). There is also more to do: much more quests and of course gambling! Have you even played it?
I'm surprised it has glitches, it shouldn'tpiranha_inc
It's such massive game, it's not going to be perfect. But of course when everyone is expecting it to be then the forums explode with gamers complaining. If their hopes weren't so high, they wouldn't take some bugs and glitches so personally.
I'm playing Fallout New Vegas and am loving it more than Fallout 3. I'd give it a 9.5/10. It's only crashed once on me in over 12 hours of game time and I've came across literally no bugs or glitches. Quite simply, it's amazing. :D
[QUOTE="albatrossdrums"]You are lucky. : ) Honestly, I had more tech problems BY FAR with FNV than I have had with any other game, ever. I had at least 20 system crashes, multiple "getting stuck on the environments", disappearing companions and three, THREE, game breaking bugs that destroyed quests and caused me to have to return to earlier saved games, in one case having to go back 20 hours. If you think I'm the exception, check out quests on the Fallout Wiki and scroll to the bottom of the page. Each quest is riddled with reports of different and unique bugs different players encountered. The shame of it is I thought the game itself was great for a while, but the horrific bugs and crashes were just plain insulting, enough that I finished one playthrough and will never pick up the game again, nor will I ever touch any DLC or Fallout games that use this engine ever again. I have to laugh at the post above mine - right, if you buy a game that has been released at full retail price that clearly has not been quality tested to an adequate degree, and which causes so many bugs and glitches that you can barely finish the game, you have no right to complain. Bite me, tough guy. "Bite me"? Grow up. A game that hasn't been quality tested as you put it is a game like Big Rigs. A game that's pretty much unplayable. For me, New Vegas has been far from unplayable. It is an amazing game and I can forgive the bugs and glitches because of how much I like it. I honestly do believe that there are people out there who haven't experienced any bugs but because they want to chime along with everyone else, just repeat exactly what others have said. How is it that some people are experiencing very few if any bugs and some are experiencing 10 every second? Have they not bothered to download the patch that has already been released?
