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.

True. Like a mouse getting shocked constantly for going after the cheese. Mice typically learn after two hits.

the point is we shouldnt have to do that when a game is released. we are paying for a working functioning product, which we clearly did not receive. bethesda and obsidian make millions of dollars off of us so we have every right to expect a functioning game and be pissed as hell and vent when that is not what we receive. they obviously either didnt test the game or just don't give a sh it. they need to fix this garbage yesterday so we can all enjoy what wouldve been the best game of all time but instead will go down as biggest technical flop of the decade.

When I pay 60 bucks for a game I expect to be able to play it.

now I understand bugs happen but game breaking ones are supposed to be taken care of in alpha and beta testing stages.

if it can't be played without a patch don't ship it.

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.

Totally agree. It wasn't until after I read someone else post that it must really svck for those without internet connections to even be able to get the patch. I don't really know the in and outs of "testing" but I would think that these problems should have at least been caught and the game delayed if need be. Games get delayed all the time. I would rather have a working product. Now that being said; I'm not going to stop playing. If it crashes it crashes. I played through Fallout 3 a few times. But I also have the means to get the patch if and when it comes out. But I totally agree, If it can't be played without a patch, don't ship it.

the point of this thread isn't to make things easier for bethesda and obsidian. they screwed up and everyone knows it. the point of the thread is to make things easier for YOU GUYS. what i'm trying to say is if you just forget about the game for a couple weeks, you'll make things easier on yourself. continuing to play an aggravatingly buggy game and then fuming about it on the internet is only going to cause you more stress. take my advice, put the game away for now, check back here every few days, and give it another shot when it's more stable.

You know what no! I payed 60 bucks to play the game the second i bought it not to wait two weeks. I can wait two weeks for it to come out sure! This should NOT be ok for ANYONE to do. You are simply telling them ok give us crap make us pay for it, and we will be happy when it turns to gold NO! I PAYED my money for the game and I expect to be able to play it for thousands of hours without having game breakers coming up every five. These isn't indie games this is a full blown game made by a team a TEAM of people. Its THEIR fault for not testing the game ok!? I can be mad as long as I want because I payed money for it. If this was a beta and I didn't have to pay for it sure! I will wait for a patch. However I PAYED FOR A GAME I EXPECT TO BE ABLE TO PLAY IT! You and the entire Dev team think otherwise. However I will point out the reviews didn't say you had to win the lottery to not come in contact with a gamecrippling bug.

how would you like it if you got a car that you couldnt drive or a tv that you coudnt watch?

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.

"Hey guys your dumb for expecting to play a game when it's released, maybe you'll wait a month before actually using a product you bought".

Some people just get on these forums to be trolls, i mean wait to play it? Really?

And if people want to take a risk and start over so they can play the game let em, at least they have the nerve to continue, and hey, i bet some people who start over end up having no problems

Exactly. We paid 60 bucks for this game so we shouldn't have to BETA TEST IT!!!!! This is a joke, FO3 was a little buggy but this is ridiculous. You babies should stop defending the devs and start demanding a functional game

*sigh* apparently people don't actually take the time to READ posts anymore.

did i once call anyone "dumb?"

did i say that it was acceptable that we should have to wait to play the game?

please, before you guys jump all over me, take the time to read my posts and get a feel for what i'm trying to say. that's all i'm asking.

thanks.

That would be breaking tradition here.

No, we can not simply "put the game down" for a week. Some people that bought Fallout: New Vegas did so for long term entertainment and they have no second option. What we got was a broken glitched game. We paid $60 or more in some countries for this game and for some people, it is completely unplayable.

Yeah I am going to wait and see if there is a fix for the save game freeze.I'm not going to waste another 50 hours gameplay. If not I'll trade it in.

How lame are you coming to the discussion on how broken the game is just to tell the people with a legitimate complaint to relax. Ya relax you only paid a good sum of money to have a non-functional game whats the big deal? First off, I am a business owner who sells custom built PC's. If I sold one that only worked have the time would I be able to say relax just dont use your computer until I have the time to work on it? The answer is no. That would not fly in the business world, not to my customers and I would not expect it to when I am the customer either.

If I sell a bad product I expect to get a pissed of customer and I would right the wrong instantly. However, this has never happened because I test all my comps through the strictest benchmarks before they ever leave. Put the game down for a couple of weeks is fine if you cant play it then that would be the smart thing to do, however, who knows how long I am going to have to wait for the patch to come out to fix these issues? Nobody knows cause they will not get on the boards and give us a update on a regular basis so we at least have a ruff idea of how long I am going to have to wait to play my game I paid my hard earned money for.

Dont jump on here judging others for their comments just mind your own business. Stop trolling the forums looking for people to correct. My complaining is not anything to do with you.

well folks, i tried.

apparently i'm a troll...

you can all go back to having your anger-induced aneurysms, i'm done.


mods, feel free to lock this down anytime...

okay, i think where all experiencing New Vegas Withdrawal.

:thumbsup:

all your original post is doing is telling them its ok that they released an unfinished product. minor glitches are ok but the one that stops you from completing the main quest is inexcusable. They knew about it before launch. There is no way they didnt. What about the people who cant get high speed internet? are you telling them to just never play it and it will be alright?

I want to use the damn Rock-It Launcher!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I feel the exact same way. I pray this is fixed really soon..

deliman, trolls only grow bigger when you try to respond to them, especially with reason. Everyone here understands what you said, and those with an i.q. higher than your average bottle of mouthwash will either practice your good sense or willingly risk a game crash because they think the game is actually fun enough to merit the potential cost.

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."
