I'm currently stopped dead in my tracks, and it looks like a lot of other people are too. I'm curious to see if it's actually possible to finish this game on the PS3.

i am very close to finishing my first run through alot of crashes to get this far and i gave up on side questing but i got all my main questing/questing for the ending i want completed.

the ending i chose is very difficult and im having alot of trouble on my final battle(im playing on normal [non-hardcoe])
im actually happy about this difficulty though but better than the easy win i experienced in fallout 3

which was hey the game is ending pick option A B or C
i'll repost later when i actually finish this game and let you know if i was able to

Though I completed the main quest, I voted "No! (glitches and bugs won't allow me to)" because I had The Platinum Chip bug, and had to side with NCR for the finale. :/

Too many glitches and freezing problems led to me loosing interest in progressing the game to completion. I may hold onto the game and try again in a few months or when I'm feeling particularly masochistic, or after a few patches have been released. To be honest I feel the game is so bugged it may be impossible to fix without creating additional problems, but who knows, miracles do happen.

I've done it once but I rushed right through the game and was done before lvl20. Once you get past that point the game becomes almost unplayable.
I tried a second time and the game is freezing up so much its breaking my PS3.

as promised i have returned ( my game froze earlier so realizing that i was to annoyed at that point in time to take the chance at another freeze without breaking something)
and i have completed my first play through
gotta say the story is wrapped up nicely i wont spoil anything for anyone though
and i had been planning from the very begining to make my second play through a melee or unarmed specialist...
im REALLY debating doing this now.. screw it i am doing unarmed cant wait to bullet punch people in the face and go head to head against deathclaws o.0 that should be.....interesting
maybe unarmed/explosives

Yes, I was able to beat the game during my first play-through after about 75 hours of play. I would have played longer in order to explore the locations I had uncovered and hadn't entered, but after experiencing dozens of minor glitches and system crashes, I was afraid of finding a serious game-breaking bug. I played through as many side-quests as I could but at a certain point I was like f$% these crashes, so I finished the game by making New Vegas independent (defeated House, NCR and Legion). Luckily, it was the ending I wanted, but I feel for everyone else who has not been able to complete FONV. So the answer is yes, it's possible to finish this game on the PS3, but not without feeling as if you're nervously walking on egg shells until you get to the end. Not a pleasant feeling. I sold the game to get as much money back as possible before it dropped in price. FONV is not worth 60 bucks when it's this f#$%ed up. Bethesda=FAIL.

Every story mission (i.e. one storyline) or every possible story mission (i.e. finish the main quest in every possible way, multiple playthroughs)?

Just one is enough to satisfy my curiosity, but if someone has been able to see every ending in this game, they should get a Nobel Prize or something...

Yes and No.
Yes, I finished all 4 story paths and Platinum'd the game.
No because I wasn't able to do the things I wanted to. (Helping the BoS, the Renmants, etc.)

Plat'd


I will give the advice I always do on Fallout Games. Never reload a game from inside the game. If you are going to reload, quit out and restart. The game doesn't release memory correctly. Also, if you fast travel ( or just play a long time) and load too many textures the game will start stuttering when you zone in. If this happens, don't cross your fingers and hope for the best.... save and quit right there. You are certain to crash within a few minutes.


If you follow that tip, your crashing/lockups will be down to a minimum. Won't solve it all, but will be much less. You just have to be consistant with it. Save, Quit, Reload.

I finished it, but with only a couple of saves because if i have more than 3 or 4 the FPS get choppy then I start to freeze. :cryvaultboy:

I finished the game and it froze on the ending sequence!

My game crashes every time I try to go to the final battle. The dialogue box saying that "this is the point of no return" comes up and freezes immediately after every time.

Yes. However, it took a little over 50 hours (probably more, this was the game clock), 21 Freezes, multiple bugs and glitches, and missing companions. By the end of it I can't find Rex no matter what I do, and Veronica won't follow me when I hire her, she just tries to initiate dialogue. The freezing seems to get worse the more I progress in the game. For lack of a better description, this is absolutely ridiculous. I feel ashamed that I paid for this game.



While I can see how that would help, the fact that we even need to do that is [censored] (Edit: Really? That got censored? Geez... okay, the fact that we need to do that is mentally handicapped). This is the very reason I probably will never plat this game, or even see the other endings. I'm just flat out fed up.

Im neutral with The Fort yet everytime I get to the guard out side ceasors tent they turn evil and attack me....

This also hinders.completing the papa quest as I cannot get information about ceasor turning on them, is this because I out spoke the guy in papa's longhouse and got him killed? I was fine before that....

Yup.

The whole world blows up after you beat the game...oh spoiler alert (this is a total lie btw):P

@purepoison Are you wearing NCR faction armour? EDIT: oh nevermind your talkin about a quest bug...

My friend and I bought FNV on launch day and to date have not finished it- unfortunatly we've both lost interest in the game. He lost interest because he feels he has nothing to work for since he hit lv30 and hadn't even started the storyline yet or companion quests or explored over 1/2 the map. Leveling in FNV is stupid and way too easy.what's the point of continuing the game when your getting no xp for all the work you're doing and your maxed out before you even start the game?? He was also pissed because he tried to do Veronica's quest and little did he know that the only way to do her stuff is to use her to enter the BoS's bunker-otherwise,she won't talk to you..but he did the BoS stuff b4 he recruited her soooooo....As for me,well,the glitches..they're killing the fun.Blowing the head off a Legion Recruit at point blank range is funny and all, but if it freezes b4 the chunks of skull hit the ground,it gets a bit pointless. And then we have the issue of quests being messed up.How're you supposed to know that if you do the drug run for Melissa you can't finish the Oh My Papa quest.Or to use my earlier example,BoS,Veronica...how would you know? The store bought guide dosen't even say"do not enter the BoS bunker without Veronica's help or you cannot complete her quest". Well,I'm gonna go get my lv 69 update for Borderlands and play that for a while again,and probably get the zombie expansion DLC for Red Dead Redemption that'll kill some time then God of War 3 to finish.Maybe by the time I finish all those games Fallout NV may have been made playable--the way it's supposed to be.Till then,it's on the shelf.

....just finished my 1st and last playthrough until all the bugs and freezing are fixed.....there must have been over 100 freezes.........luckily my system dIdn't fry.

Make sure you fire Boone. I had the same problem. Boone was left at the strip (he had to wait outside while talking to Mr House). If he's still in your party, the legion will attack you. Make sure you don't have his perk and if you do, fire him.

The game is so buggy...that might be right about Boone but it could be something else. I was able to speak with Caesar in his tent and start his quest after leaving Boone and ED-E waiting back at the Safehouse. I've never fired him the entire game (175 hours). I didn't keep that part of my game but just wanted to add that here. Hopefully we'll have a patch soon.
