Some of this was fixed in the first PS3 patch (the one with trophies), but the game is so good, but so broken, further patches are welcome.

I know some people have been having trouble on all platforms, so hopefully this will take care of it for everyone.

Daver5622d ago

yea it dosnt freeze anymore when a friend log in

Pennywise5622d ago

Fallout freezes WAY too much for my liking.

Other than that, I think its okay. Maybe I just havent played it enough.

Lifendz5622d ago

it'll be patched to the point it actually works and will be much cheaper. This is why you should all wait to buy a Bethesda game....if you can wait that is.

bunbun7775622d ago

If you can wait, heh.

For me, that was impossible.

But in a cruel twist- I will be waiting for the expansion, oh well.

Got my platinum, have ran through every character I want except the unarmed evil ninja.

Great game, thanks Beth!

Lifendz5621d ago

but I have a full time committment to school so maybe that makes it easier. Plus I play R2 competitive mode a lot and LBP isn't slowing down at all. But hey, that's just me. I can understand not being able to wait. I just know that all their games are bug ridden and then I heard how bad the PS3 version was and I said "no thanks, I'll wait."

rbanke5621d ago

I guess I was lucky, I made it all the way to platinum without any bugs (that i noticed). Still need to play it a few more times though.

-EvoAnubis-5621d ago

And that last bit is the problem. Bethesda's games are always great . . . makes waiting REALLY hard to do. I knew Fallout 3 would be buggy and glitchy as hell when I bought it (ok, I didn't know it'd be THAT buggy), but that didn't stop me . . . the game itself is always worth the hassle.

However, I do think I'll wait a few months after the next one comes out.

Might be a good time to start playing this game! XD
I have it sitting in my shelve since Xmas. PoP and R2 took my time to play it. PoP is finished and PLATINUMed (o.O) So i´ll start FALLOUT!

DA_SHREDDER5622d ago

Ive had the game since launch and I must say it never froze once on me. Ive left it on for days too.

ChampIDC5621d ago

I think I've only had about 2 freezes myself, so not too bad I guess, but less are always welcome.

Lucas225622d ago

is this the same patch that came out for the ps3 a while back ago because i don't get asked to update when i start the game?

Yuprules5622d ago (Edited 5622d ago )

Lucas22, doesn't Sony roll out "new stuff" in the afternoon/evening usually for the PlayStation Network? Hang in there :)

MegaMohsi5622d ago

I hope this fixes a lot of the freezing issues and such

How about you actually SHOW wtf you're talking about

Nacho_Z16d ago

Always annoying when articles do that.

I agree with them that the tv show was a bit on the clean side. They got loads right regarding set design etc but there's room for improvement.

gold_drake16d ago

i dont. it hurts my eyes. but im fairly ssensitive when it comes to that sort of stuff.

Looking Back At 2008, An Unbelievably Incredible Year Of Video Game Releases

Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."

ChasterMies40d ago

Some of these low paid video game “news” writers weren’t born before 2007.

just_looken40d ago

Here here

Those that were around before 2000's i am sure are like me that think we entered a world of non readers or those that follow without question.

I can not wait to see fallout 3 a goty game even though it was about water with non content until you add the dlc/updates then you got the performance/crashing

CrimsonWing6941d ago

I don’t think anything can compare to 2023

lucasnooker41d ago

1998 - the best year in gaming! Metal gear solid, crash bandicoot 3, medievil, half life, ocarina of time, thief, tenchu, resident evil 2, Spyro, tomb raider 3, oddworld abes exodus, banjo kazooie.

It was a different breed of a gaming era. You’ll never understand what it was like back then. The aura of gaming, it was different!

KyRo41d ago (Edited 41d ago )

I second this. Gaming was a lot more varied and fun than it is today. I'm 35 so getting on compared to some here but I got to see all the changes from NES up to now but I've never felt so disappointed in any generation than I have this current gen. I was expecting more from this generation rather than prettier versions of games that came before it. Game mechanics have become so refined that alot of games feel the same and has done for a while now.

Maybe it's time to have a break for a while. I love gaming but I don't feel I get much fun in the traditional sense out of it anymore.

CrimsonWing6941d ago (Edited 41d ago )

Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 2, Abe’s Exodus, and Ocarina of Time are the only things from that list that I liked.

Here’s the 2023 game releases that I personally liked… and big releases that I didn’t care for:

- Dead Space Remake
- Wo Long Dynatsy
- Resident Evil 4 Remake
- Diablo 4
- Fire Emblem Engage
- Hogwarts Legcay
- Street Fighter 6
- Hi-Fi Rush
- Like a Dragon: Ishin
- Octopath Traveler 2
- Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters
- Final Fanatsy XVI (actually ended up not liking this, but it was still a big deal release)
- Baldur’s Gate 3
- Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon
- Lies of P
- Mortal Kombat 1
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
- Starfield (Ended up hating this one, but big release)
- Super Mario Bros. Wonder
- Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (I’m an old-school Zelda fan, but didn’t really enjoy this game)
- Alan Wake 2

I mean, honestly I’ve never seen a year of major IP releases like that, ever.

Profchaos40d ago (Edited 40d ago )

Isn't it just a generational thing realistically.

I've been gaming since way back and I some of my favourite games go as far back as the late 80s for me each generation has a year or two of game changing releases one after another before an inevitable dry spell.

I kind of agree gaming had a different feel games hit different because we didn't have the internet nothing got spoiled and you really had to put in the effort to beat a puzzle which could set entire groups of people looking for a solution. But most importantly games were experimental and not as cookie cutter as today even basics like controls were not universal today r2 is shoot l2 is ads garunteed you can't deviate from that in a shooter back then it could of been square, R1 or R1 and circle nothing was standard.

But as time moves on a new generation picks up their controller they are going to be interested in different things that PS1 demo disc with the t Rex blew our primitive 16 bit brains back on launch but to kids today it's laughable.
The new gen of kids coming into to hobby seem to value different things to us there seems to be a huge focus on online play, streamers, gaming personalities, and social experiences, convience of digital downloads. To me I value none of that but that's ok like my parents not liking the band's I would listen to its just the natural cycle.

Gameseeker_Frampt40d ago

Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.

2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.

just_looken40d ago

It still amazes me we got over 7 rockstar games ps2/ps3 but 3 for the ps3/ps4/ps5

Dragon age 1-3 and mass effect 1-3 in 7ish years what a generation.
