Freezing- I've only had this game for 2 weeks but it freezes up my ps3 more than anything else. Since I did play Fallout 3 I wasn't expecting perfection but I also wasn't expecting to do a hard shut down 3 or 4 times in one night. That's not good for the console and sometimes it happens in between loading which corrupts the autosave and I have to go back to my last manual save of which I now have to make many.
Unfinishable Quests - I find myself going back to old saves because an objective isn't where it's supposed to be according to the mission marker.
"Exclusive" DLC - yea, I know it's a timed exclusive, I'm just surprised this crap is still going on. It would've been nice if we were told about it when we were pre-ordering rather than the day before launch. Smooth move.
Not that I'm all that interested in getting any of it. If this dlc messes up this game as badly as the Fallout 3 DLC messed that game up, New Vegas will be rendered completely unplayable.
Broken Radio Randomizer- I dig Wayne Newton but he keeps playing the same 4 songs over and over again. I also dig the songs that are there but after hearing Johnny Retar 80 times in a row I'm ready to go Mysterious Stranger on someone. Not that having the other dozen songs playable would make a huge difference: this game can go on for a while (when it isn't constantly freezing) and the radio (even if it worked properly) has enough music for a short downloadable game episode. This is the main reason I wish I had the 360 version. Not to get some overpriced and buggy dlc but so I can hear more than 4 different songs while I play this.
You really need to patch in a custom soundtrack option for ps3 users.
It seems that so far, the patching for this game (as well as Fallout 3) has solved some of the more minor bugs and exploits but doesn’t remedy the really bad game-breaking bugs like the freezing and unfinishable quests. I hope you don’t just give up on this game they way you did on Fallout 3.
List of things you need to do:
-fix the constant freezing that requires the hard shut down
-fix the bugged quests that can be rendered unfinishable: let me know if you need more specific details.
-patch in a custom soundtrack option for the ps3
On paper this is a really good game that I would like to play through 3 or 4 times but at this point it’s getting to be more frustrating than fun and I don’t feel like putting up with it anymore.
