Question of the Day, December 17, 2010



Fallout: New Vegas was a fantastic game marred by heavy bugs that for many rendered it all but unplayable. The patch that supposedly fixes these issues is now live [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/106199-Dead-Money-Trailer-Revealed-New-Vegas-Patch-Completed] - are you more interested in getting the game now that it supposedly works for everyone?

I already had it, and got rid of it.

Didn't like it very much. Nothing to do with glitches.

I'm not interested enough in it to buy it just yet. I will do if I ever get bored with the games I currently have, though. I've heard good things about it despite the bugs.

I'm gonna buy it when the price is down to 15£ or so. Never buy games at full price unless it's some game I'm dying to play.

Got the Collector's Edition for my birthday a few days ago, so I already have it, but I decided to wait for the patch to come out before starting a character. Pretty stable so far, but then I've only gotten to Primm.

Got the PC version on release day, haven't played it much on account of my PC being in a consistent state of grinding, hanging and generally being bloody annoying. My brother is getting me the 360 version for Christmas, as planned well before the patch.

Bought it on Steam couple weeks before it was published. Haven't played it too much yet, just a peek of ten hours or so.

I bought it release day and have 100% it (achievements).

I never had any game-breaking bugs, although I did have occasional crashes (saved a lot so not an issue).

The only larger bug I had was a companion who wasn't following me but counted as doing so (so I couldn't recruit a new one). That was annoying.

I'll wait for the inevitable GOTY/full edition with all the DLC integrated, AND a discount.

I already had it. Bugs were never that big of a problem for me, but I might start playing it again now that I know I won't run into anything that would make my game crash... hopefully.

I got it on release day. Aside from a few minor issues, I didn't really experience the enormous amount of reported bugs. It's a great game, they just need to release DLC that will allow us to continue playing after the end game (IE Like Broken Steel)

This poll doesn't really make sense as most of the people that noticed the issues with game only noticed them because they had bought it already.

The patch will definitely help with gameplay, but I don't think I am going to be playing again for a while. I have already played through the game 3 times, glitches and all.

Side note, I saw the trailer for the new DLC coming out, Dead Money, and couldn't help but be reminded of the trailer for Brotherhood of Steel, which was probably the worst game ever. I know it won't be as bad as that, but seriously, didn't they realize this when they made that trailer?

Got it on release day and I've not really had issues with bugs - just the odd graphic glitch here and there for the most part. To be honest I'm looking forward more to the Dead Money DLC than this patch, simply because my 360 version has been perfectly playable.

I don't have any interest in new vegas. But I'm glad the patch is out, I just hope it actually does what they say it does.
