Ive personally never had it lock up on me or anything stupid like that. Yes, its not perfect, but its still a pretty damn good game.
On that note, with the whiny-crybaby gamer community, I can see why this didn't reach Game of the Year status. Which kinda sucks, it was leaps and bounds over Fallout 3, which was still a beast game. While I havent picked up the DLC for New Vegas yet, it would be pretty much the same price for the disk as the DLC. Not too bad a deal.
On my first playthrough I got a glitch during the final mission. A door I needed didn't appear, and since the mission was already started there was no turning back. I was completely stuck and my NV game was over.
Another time, when I went to Nellis Air Base, the Boomers didn't stop firing for a second. I clipped under the ground to get through that and into the base, but even once inside they did not stop firing, and I died during the little cutscene.
Several times I got this glitch where my weapon wouldn't holster, and every time I switched weapons it would fire automatically.
In a number of quests, conversation topics that would allow me to continue didn't appear.
On Black Mountain, talking to the Super Mutant (I forget his name), whether I agreed to help him or not, he responded as if I'd refused.
Got a glitch a couple times where my weapon fired constantly and uncontrollably.
On several occasions the game's FPS lagged so badly that things were just popping in and out of different locations.
Got hung up on scenery countless times.
Companion vanished, never to be found, two or three times.
And there was more I can't remember right now!
New Vegas is quite possibly my favourite game of all time, but the people who complain about bugs aren't just whining about nothing. It's a major issue.
