I've been playing the 360 version for about 4 hours and I've had to restart the game twice. Both times I approached an NPC that didn't move but was taking damage and making noise then the game would just lock.

I'm VERY disappointed in the bug ridden code in this release. I know Bethesda doesn't have the best rep when it comes to buggy games but having complete freezes is game breaking and unacceptable. I hoped Obsidian would do a better job but it seems more buggy than FL3 to me.

Btw - I have a 360 Elite that has zero problems and I am running the game off of HDD. Disc looks fine no visable scratches.

Christopher4973d ago

Just had my first freeze after about an hour of play. Wasn't even intense and nothing was happening on screen.

I'll play it some more later, but if this is the gist of it, Bethesda is going to have to win me over with a show of proof that their future games they back aren't an issue. And, yeah, I know it was Obsidian that made this, but the result squarely falls on the shoulders of the people who own the IP and are in charge of making sure the best product is released.

HolyOrangeCows4973d ago

I believe I'll wait for a couple patches before buying. I'll probably get it used, too; I don't want to support games that launch like that.

Jaces4973d ago

I have the game already to go, but this is one reason I haven't touched it yet. I'll wait for some patches before I begin my journey without the worry of a freezing game, that and I'm still trying to Plat Dead Rising 2 ;P

wat6344974d ago

Thats bethesda for you.

Well, best be waiting for a patch then.

Motorola4974d ago

this is OBSIDIAN. not Bethesda, OBSIDIAN. geez dont you people know who made the game? BETHESDA made 2 GOTYs Oblivion and F3. not this!

NYC_Gamer4974d ago

bethesda allowed them to put out this buggy piece of shit

MexicanAppleThief4974d ago

Yes, but it was made on the same buggy engine as Fallout 3 and other recent Bethseda titles.

Luckily I'm getting the PC version, so hopefully the modding community will make quick work of this.

Motorola4974d ago

yeah your right about bethesda letting them. but obsidian should have done SOMETHING

Motion4973d ago

Yeah, the engine is still Bethesda's, so I had no doubts the game would be full of bugs. I'm actually here because I wanted to ask this of anyone who is playing this on PC-

Does the game still have terrible memory leaks, causing your framerate to steadily drop down to unplayable levels over a period of time (hour or so) while out doors? Or did they finally patch that?

phantomexe4973d ago

bethesda is just as bad motor or have you forgoting oblivion and fallout 3. There useing bethesdas engine....(Some peoples kids)

just like I foretold...

they all laughed at me(actually disagreed) but now reality proves me right: FO:NV is a bugfest

This is why I will wait a year until the GOTY releases. Bugs completely ruin the experience of a game, bugs do you remind that you are playing a game and not a real sole wanderer in a wasteland.

romancer4974d ago

I am playing the 360 version installed to my HD.

I have had no freezes or gltches so far. But the night is young....

BrianC62344974d ago

Isn't it always best to wait at least a month to buy a game from these guys? It seems like all of their games are buggy from day one.

DizzyDino4973d ago

and have not had a problem except my pre order code wouldn't work when i got the game at 10am but it works now.

segmentnext4973d ago

Pre coder code issue was fixed by the developer later.

Games That Were Bad on Release, But Are Now Great

BLG writes, "Some of the most popular games have had a rough start, with some of them being downright unplayable.

Despite that, developers have managed to turn it around for them and make their game worth playing. Here are some games that had a rough start but were pretty great."

Good list..hoped to see Street Fighter 5 there..and it is.

Vits28d ago (Edited 28d ago )

Sea of Thieves... I'm not disagreeing that the game has improved in terms of content. But I feel that the most significant change between now and its release is actually the public perception. Nowadays, most people are aware that the game is a multiplayer PvP-focused experience first and foremost, and not "Black Flag made by Rare". Consequently, people dismissing the whole experience because the single-player aspect is lacking or the story is plain are much less common.

darthv7228d ago

Several years ago, i submitted an idea to Rare that would change up the mechanics of battling opponents in the game. whereby if you died in battle, you turned into a skeleton warrior and had to fight your way back to the land of the living. It was an interesting twist on respawning and would allow the player to experience both sides of a battle.

I keep hoping to see something like that get added to the game.

Kaii28d ago

They consider FO 76 & ME Andromeda to be great now 🤭

anast28d ago

Every game in the last 2 decades...

INMATEofARKHAM28d ago

It's sad that this quick retort is more often than not true... The industry's acceptance of release and patch has gone too far.

gunnerforlife28d ago

Days gone! By the end of the game I couldn't drop it down! I went around so many hours killing zombies! It was addictive by the end.

S2Killinit27d ago

That game was just plain good game. It didnt improve, it was just good.

gunnerforlife27d ago

I don't know, I got it abit late, and struggled for a few days, and then all of a sudden it just got good!!

Fallout Anthology Edition Looks Pretty S.P.E.C.I.A.L.

The Fallout Anthology Edition is coming to PC very soon, and is packaged with some very S.P.E.C.I.A.L. bonuses.

-Foxtrot50d ago

It’s an awful downgrade to the last one they did

They included physical disc back then

ocelot0748d ago

Forgot I ordered this until I got the dispatch email.

FPS_D3TH48d ago

I want the first two games to come to iPhone/android

Friendlygamer48d ago (Edited 48d ago )

I would love the classic fallout games on console. Closest I could find was atom rpg, I liked that one a lot

saint_seya48d ago
