Bethesda Urges Users to Decline New Vegas Update

[Chamale]

I remember when Broken Steel came out - the only major bug in that DLC was directly because of the fact that it was only tested on completed save files. If you start a new game, the news would talk about things that hadn't happened yet.

This bug was directly because the patch was only tested on Xbox 360's that already had the upcoming DLC loaded onto them. They didn't consider how a typical user would get this patch.

You know you suck at coding games when you need to update your updates.

This^. This so, so much. Sheesh. Obsidian's failures aren't even funny anymore. They desperately need to hire some new coders.

It'll be so nice when I finally get my computer built. I won't have to worry about any of this. A patch gets messed up? There's a community fix. I haven't had too many problems on my 360 though (haven't updated). No crashes anyway...

Glad I didnt buy the game yet, I said to myself "dont worry buy it when its cheap and when all the bugs are fixed". I had expected the latter to come before the former however, at this rate I am not so sure.

Its a shame to see a renowned series like this under such horrendous flaws and mistakes.

Hasn't the fallout series ALWAYS been buggy?

Obsidians patch breaks the game so Bethesda has to do it? This is really funny imo. I still can't understand why Obsidian releases buggy games. Doesn't anyone test them before they come out(I know this is off-topic and an old subject but still gotta wonder...)?

its wierd, i downloaded the patch and then disconnected from xbox live (i don't actually play on there) and i still can save fine. knock on wood

If what i think happens this will be the 3rd time that I have played 20 hours plus on a game and lost the save.

Yeah, killed my save, unfortunately I'd already deleted my saves and started again when the fix's fix arrived. I love you NV but damn, you make it hard.

oh I could just lick the irony of it all

Seriously, most of you posting in this thread suck.

In what way exactly? For experiencing more bugs than you? Interesting attitude.

I've had the odd glitch but nothing gamebreaker

I think you'll find the word you're looking for is game-breaking. And just because you didn't doesn't mean others didn't. Many people lost 40-50 hour saves. I'd like to see you try and retain your unsympathetic tone after experiencing that particular bug.

it's like a sad joke take gets funner the sadder it gets, well until you find out it broke one of your favorite games, then you just ask "why did they let Obsidian try to fix it!?"

 

[Bernzz]

There's an Xzibit joke in here somewhere.

Yo dawg, I heard you like updates, so I put an update in your update so you can update while you update?

OT: Kinda glad I don't have XBL. That, and my 360's been fucked since it RRoD'd before Christmas last year.

As far as I know the patch only tweaks some of the guns in the game. My copy is buggy as all heck. I've had to deal with a few broken quests. I'm waiting for either a patch to fix gameplay problems or the GOTY Edition. I'm hoping that when they repackage the game, they'll take some time to do some serious QA. Not holding my breath, though

I hope Skyrim is a bit more playable out the gate. Knock on wood. *knocks*

YO DAWG HEARD YOU WANTED A PATCH SO I GOT YOU A PATCH THAT PATCHES SO YOU CAN PATCH WHILE YOU PATCH!

BUT DON'T PATCH IT! SHIT BE BROKEN!

I started rolling my eyes as I began to read your post then I got to the bottom of it.....and that's how the laughter started....
