Is it really that hard to put the game down for a week or tw

Then again, a good number of these people probably will corrupt their save data simply because they care more about "should be able to" than "currently are able to."


And this is the root of the problem. If you can't do something, don't!

Ahh, yes. Lets compare a $60 game that will be fixed for free to a car or TV that costs much more money and you would have to pay to repair.


Since when?
If i buy a car or TV that does not work, i return it and get it replaced or get my money back. It does'nt matter how much you pay for an item, its your rights as a consumer.
I did'nt buy the game second-hand. I bought it brand new and its faulty so therefore i should be entitled to a full refund by the publisher or the retailer, but since the retailer is not at fault then i'd say that the publisher is at fault for releasing a sub standard product.

Here's a suggestion. Play Fallout 3 to hold you over until things are fixed.

Problem solved.

Whining about the game breaking bugs isn't going to make them get fixed any quicker.

When the reviews for new vegas started coming out, they all mentioned the technical problems. At that point, i'd played for a couple of hours and hadn't had many problems yet, so i came to the forums here to see if anyone else was having major problems. as you all know, yea, the game apparently has some major issues. so what i've done is put the game away until at least the save game bug is patched. what i don't understand is why other people who keep getting these bugs continue to play the game and expose themselves to more frustration...i saw a thread where a guy said he restarted the game FIVE TIMES! really? if you keep experiencing the save game glitch, why do you keep wasting time starting over only to experience failure again and again? put the game away and do something else...simple.

furthermore, i can understand the frustration with obsidian and bethesda, but is it really necessary to keep flaming these guys? telling the devs how much their game "svcks" isn't going to get it fixed any faster. i've been waiting for this game for a long time and i'm certainly disappointed with the state it was released in, but i have no problem sticking it in a drawer for a couple more weeks while it gets patched.


You're an idiot. A developer who steals 70 dollars each from millions of people deserves to get "flamed".

Anyone who starts their post with an insult does not deserve respect. Insulting those responsible for this will not help. It may make you feel bigger, or more important, but really it only demonstrates that the fact that you are uncouth, and lack maturity.

What about the people who have no Live connection and can't get a patch?

I bet they're feeling righty pissed off right now.

we are but considering the size of the game and the amount of difference in each save theres bound to be corruption untill its been tested fully and i dont think they can do that before release.
i did a playthrough but didnt finish hoover dam without a single bug then this playthrough ive had nothing but bugs so it must be something to do with when you first start in my opinion.
im looking into been able to download to a pc then using a usb transfer updates to the console but i dont know how to access them

If you already have an internet connection then just plug it into your 360. You don't actually need an Xbox Live gold account to get updates. As long as your 360 is connected to the internet it will automatically download all dashboard and game title updates for you.

Fable 2 had really bad bu gs that rarely got fixes. In fact, theres still the save game corruption that was never fixed. Who is to say Fable 3 isnt glitchy as well? Im sure most of these bugs in NV will be fixed...then the game will be more than the money you paid for it, being that it offers over a hundred hours of play. Thats compared to te real pieces of garbage- the games that i pay 60 for and have 15 hours of play with some crappy multiplayer tacked on

NONE of the reviews I read before buying the game mentioned game breaking bugs, all they talked about was some AI weirness and graphical glitches. None of them said their saves all got corrupted, none said they got stuck inside a casino unable to leave at all, etc.

I'm mad at the developer and publisher because there is no excuse to release a game in this state. It's very obvious both Bethesda and Obsidian knew just how broken the game was and decided to go ahead with launch anyway - because they knew people would still buy it.

Looks like i got the good end of the stick i just get a system freeze in one spot of the game and i have nothing bad to say about Bethesda Softworks or Obsidian just saying the game seemed a little rushed and been on the forums all morning and its a lot of freezing and locking up issues but other then that good game and loved the independant ending to the game(Go Yes man)

I am so sick of hearing people tell me stop flaming the devs or "grow up". since your so keen on having a "intelligent" post and your so "mature" then I have an idea for you. If you are so smart then why are you posting in a forum that annoys you the way people are talking. If you dont want to here me complain or flame the devs then simply go somewhere else. Why are you going out of your way to tell me not to? Be smart and take this wisdom with you "mind your own buisness. There is an old saying " this is a A and B conversation C your way out". Stop trolling TROUBLESHOOTING FORUMS to complain about us complainging, that just does not make sense!

It doesn't really serve any purpose to make a thread to complain about the complainers, especially not when they are suffering from genuine issues.
