Big Fallout: New Vegas Patch Coming Soon

Awesome, I haven't had that many problems with the 360 version but still a patch will hopefully prevent my enemies merging into rocks.

It's funny to me that people blame Obsidian when the bugs are mostly very similar (or identical) to the bugs found in Fallout 3. The one made by Bethesda.

The fact that they have sold so many copies and people like myself have varely had issues, to me anyway, shows that the game wasn't that bad when put out. The Save Game thing really sucks but besides that I think people are just WAY too full of drama.

Seriously a lot of the issues are the same ones that came with Fallout 3, Obsidian could maby have tried to fix them, maby? probably not, I know its a big game and you have a deadline, but 1) the vast majority of the engine, hell probably all of the engine was all ready done, 2) you don't need to create a Physics Engine either it uses's Havok's, 3) ill give texturing may have taken a while as well as scripting but you could have at least looked at fixing the issues when you put F:NV through Alpha (which reminds me of another game that could have been better) and beta testing. I luckily haven't met any game breakers, only Crashes and Followers standing still despite being told to follow me, but I fixed that by telling them to meet me at the lucky 28 and then immediately talking to them again and "re-recruiting" them. Radscorpions in the Floor and people in walls was in F:3 so was the occasional crash, FPS drop to crash e.c.t. and people speaking without the animation, saying one thing but the text box shows something else.

but YAY

For the PC version, I wonder how many of the bugfixes will come from FalloutNewVegasNexus.com

most? probably the guys at the Nexus are good at fixing bugs, which is why they should have been the testing team. and why Beth/Obsidian should employ them.

If the game "is so big" then how come only two thirds of the map is used and the points of interest are all clustered in the middle?

Thank you.
Sure this game is big but it's nowhere near as big as Fallout 3. The only thing that's bigger are the glitches. F3 just froze occasionally, it didn't freeze every time I played it and it didn't have these game breaking bugs like disappearing/frozen companions & unfinishable quests.

I guess this patch isn't coming out that soon.

If I ever get another one of these games, I'll get it for the PC. Learned my lesson.
