Grizzly256 Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 Well i bought the game brand new, not one week ago, and to get it too work i have had to reinstall my entire OS, just to get it to work. With this in mind, is it too much to ask of the developers that they ensure that there game will work when people buy it, and to the publishers, please gives the devs enough time to thouroughly check games before they go to sale, i mean christ, we pay $90au for these and they dont work, we have to wait weeks, or months for a patch to come out so we can play the game, and even then, the patch might not solve your particular issue. If anyone from bethesda or obsidian is reading this, take heed, people are not happy about the amount of bugs in this game I'm at the point where you have to talk to the ranger in charge of the NCRs security for the presidents visit, however just as he tells me to get some rest for the mission, the screen fades to black, then crashes. This has happened both playing AS Mr House and the NCR, and to make matters worse, 2 days ago i reinstalled my ENTIRE OS from scratch, all the updates are done, all the drivers are the latest, and new vegas is the only game i have installed. what the f*** IS WRONG WITH IT!!!???!?!?!. When i buy a game, i expect it to work. I have discovered that bug afftects me everytime i sleep, wait or the quest dose it for me.

Madae Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 My thoughts are that you can't change how the industry works, so there's no reason to complain about it. Some people have a ton of problems with New Vegas, whereas I have had none. I had tons of problems with Fallout 3, whereas some had none. You can't make a game for a variety of unstandardized machines and expect it to work perfectly for all of them - that's just a fact. Some people would complain and say "they should have waited 2 more months to release the game so it would have been bug-free", where I say "you got the game 2 months early, play it now if you can, or wait until it gets to the point you wanted it to be". The industry has always run like this and it's a viable commercial tactic - release something early to fund further development of the game. And it works fine for me, I'm sorry it doesn't work the same for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soot00 Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 Don't do what I did as it was mostly trial and error and your problem may be completely something else. At one point I was having same issues as you, random lockups with Fallout 3, World of Warcraft etc. Would piss me off having to hardboot when I am healing a raid. Tried everything, reinstall operating system, format hard drive etc. Same garbage. Finally after much trial and error I bought a brand new gigabyte motherboard and installed it myself. Let's just say it cured everything. While I used to get random lockups least once a day, haven't had a lockup of any kind in over 3 months since I swapped motherboards.

JCHR Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 Problem is, for some ppl like me, whose game given no errors so far and the errors have been solved, one way or another, I have no complaints about the game (except ocasional quest bugs and some self provoked bugs such as using player.advlevel and disabling the enemy level scaling) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retribution Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 I haven't had too many problems with New Vegas, but I've had some. It's definitely one of the buggiest games I've ever played. Obsidian can't say they play-tested it, they just can't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't really had any problems with the game so far, but that doesn't mean they don't exist - there are dozens of bugs that are simply part of the game regardless if your hardware. "Don't complain, nothing will change" is a self-fulfilling prophecy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boycott them all you want - these companies know when a game has the hype to sell, and it will do so with or without you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marthos Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 Makes you wonder if it was Steams policy of "no returns" that attracted Bethesda. Dont matter what the product is, if you get sold a duffer you open your trap and complain like hell. Edited. You've been here long enough to know better. -myrmaad Edited to add: Indeed I have, my apologies Madae. I'll try and word that one a bit better, I know it seems that putting complaints in doesn't seem to get you anywhere, but as a consumer paying good money for a product its your absolute right to complain if your less than satisfied with your purchase. The way a lot of companies in all sorts of different product genre's operate these days tends to make you think they couldn't care less about their customers, but who knows, if enough people complain maybe some companies will start think, "hey, we need to sort this". I'm not holding my breath on that but it costs nothing to try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
