No, it's called drama queen. :celebration:

Fallout 3 is a lot more buggy for me. I still play it regularly and can not play for more than a couple of hours without a crash. However, I think I have had one crash on New Vegas in about 30 hours of game play.

From everything I read yeah the 360 version really was a step back I am a PC player and have had less glitches/crashes/bugs etc then FO3 with all patches and dlc's heck even IGN gave a lower rating to the console version because of the problems then the pc version.

As to the radio station it has more then 4 songs and if you listen to the other stations they have more. Textures for me are alot better (this is PC) then FO3 as to the storyline I loved it if you have no imagination and have to be hand held on what to think and feel maybe it is boring but for me it is great IMHO even better then FO3 (but not up to FO2).

My machine has basically half the specs of yours. I bought it back in 2005. I run the game set at max settings. Have had one lock up in 30 hours of game play and I have not noticed any stuttering or lag issues. So much for bleeding edge...sounds like buggy drivers to me.

This game is buggy, and if I was one of the people who did the Come Fly with Me quest and lost every save I have I would be pissed, and be plenty justified in being pissed. While I appreciate they buyer beware mentality of responders, any customer who buys a video game that doesn't save has a legitimate gripe. This game is buggier and less polished than FO3, at least on my x-box. Numerous weird AI situations, people popping up in scenes they aren't supposed to be in, lots of creatures stuck in the ground, etc. It's buggy, and it's buggy for a lot of people. That said I love the game and I'm going to play it tonight, but I'll tell the world it's a buggy game, and probably not one to buy if you aren't already a fan. This isn't a well polished video game, this is a great game that could have used more time to perfect.

*:nono: Do not flame or flamebait*

The game works fine for me. I've had one crash on the PC and that was, i'm pretty sure, due to running Adobe InDesign at the same time. If you're having issues with your game on the PS3 or Xbox 360 did you stop to think "gee, maybe it's not the entire game developer at fault here, but just the people who ported it?" My game runs fine on my system. If yours doesn't there's probably a reason whether it's hardware, YOUR software, or some combination. Just because you're having trouble doesn't mean that it's immediately the faults of the game developers. Take some personal responsibility here.

That said...

Yes, the game is less polished than it should be. Yes, there are more little bugs in the game play (can't shoot through the space between rails on a balcony, shots hitting invisible mesh maps that shouldn't be there, bugged quests, NPC interactions, and scripts). Yes, the game doesn't seem to have received the same level of quality and pedigree as Fallout 3. So what's all that mean? Obsidian and Bethesda hopefully realize they made some mistakes. New Vegas won't be as well remembered as FO3 and that means both companies failed to evolve the franchise. That reputation for screwing up something that was so awesome is a pretty good punishment.

To Bethesda and Obsidian: please fix your game up. It should have received better testing, should have had more time spent on making it as beautiful and filled-out as Fallout 3, and should have been a better game. Your decisions are what made it suffer, so, go about fixing it quickly or else you're going down in the halls of history as "those guys that made a really great game, Fallout 3, and then ruined it with a crappy Fallout 3.5."

/rant off. Anyone ever see that waambulance?

I really wish they would fix this damn game. Hell every new game I start it freezes and then it wont load. WHAT THE CRAP BETHESDA!!!!!! I don't care if it has been a week since its release the game should play when I put it in my console not after a week with a few updates later. That is just wrong and feels like one big middle finger to the fans who want to play it and those who are new to the series.

Well, let's see. Each one of the more than Twenty (20+) games I've tried on my brand new computer have worked flawlessly. Fallout New Vegas is the only game that won't even load the first level. As far as the errors being on my end - I'm an advanced computer user. I even remember how to balance between Conventional, Extended and Expanded memory for MSDOS for crying out loud. So, I feel safe in asserting that that we computer users are in NO way responsible for the errors in this clusterfck of a game.
