 It's fun for the short period that it's playable Nov 18, 2010
By Michelle L. Belgard
The intricate storyline, interesting quests, and endearing side-kicks (Lily the grandmother super mutant is, quite possibly one of the best characters I've ever encountered in a video game, despite her limited role and interactions...) are not enough to save this pitiful excuse for a game. For the life of me I do not understand how game companies can release games in these states, without ANY repercussions. 40 hours into the game, I couldn't exit a casino, and had to replay 13 hours (good thing I had the save files- it could have been worse). The games locks CONSTANTLY, requiring hard resents. Certain key areas - I can't even enter because of the locking.
We aren't talking a few annoying graphics glitches here - we are talking game ***unplayability***
I'm running a new 120Gb PS3 Slim with only a few other saved game files from Dragon's Age and Fallout 3.
A look on the Bethesda forums reveals innumerable gamers with the exact same (as well as many many more) complaints.
Before you buy this game - I suggest reading the Bethesda Forums to get an idea what state the game is in.
And they have the gall to announce new DLC while the game is not fixed.
What other industry would be allowed to charge consumers for a product that doesn't work? It just boggles the mind.

 Bug Infested and Broken. Nov 02, 2010
By GetUpInDer
BROKEN! You're better off playing Fallout 3 again. The same issues that plagued Fallout 3 only worse.

Unfinished Business Indeed or A Slap in the Face Oct 25, 2010
By Vulcan420
"cheapskate"
Well, I loved Fallout 3 on the PS3 so much I preordered New Vegas. But I would advise people not to buy it, at least until after the price drops to $29 or so. Now that I think of it, I bought Fallout 3 when it had dropped to $29 so it had massive patches by then. There is absolutely no excuse for selling an unfinished game like this at $60. This is a slap in the face and an insult to game buying consumers. Obviously Obsidian and Bethesda are kicking back laughing their way to the bank at how gullible gamers are and intend to keep pushing the envelope of just how unfinished and defective of a product people will buy. As long as people keep buying garbage like this, they will keep pushing out even more unfinished games, these are big, greedy corporations after all.
Good: pretty much just like Fallout 3
Bad: too much like Fallout 3 right down to the same textures and colored building interiors, same npc baddies, etc.
A lot of worthless items to get and hold onto in order to craft relatively low value items from them. Adds more RPG aspect I guess but its pretty useless if you ask me.
Lots and lots of bugs and glitches. Lots of characters stuck halfway in the ground and walls. Lots of characters just getting stuck walking up against stuff and never moving away. Lots of black holes where suddenly everything is black until you get passed the area. Lots of invisible barriers in weird places to keep you from going past. Lots of game freezes. Lots of auto saves being corrupt. Lots of other glitches as well.
My suggestion to Obsidian and Bethesda: try a beta release or two or three and then, after you get a completely functioning game - sell it. I feel like I should be paid as a debugger for having even tried out this refried potato.
Consensus: It smells like yesterdays lunch with Garlic added. Unfortunately the microwave is on the fritz so you best wait til they at least heat it up for you.

Fallout: New Vegas is Buggier than a Giant Ant Oct 24, 2010
By Theflecsh11
""TV Guy""
I am a huge fan of the Fallout series, however the game is full of technical glitches and errors. This is like going through all the pain of the Fallout 3 glitches and it is completely unacceptable. They need to get this one right, go ahead look up all the gamer issues folks are having with this game. I am sorry, but in a society like ours we should not accept paying $[...] for unfinished games that do not function properly.
1 Star until Bethseda gets it right. Do not buy this game until you have read that the bugs are officially fixed. What a scam to buy a game for this amount and have it freeze up 20 times in the first 5 hours of play.

 Game is patched and works perfectly Sep 14, 2011
By E. Garcia
As of September 2011, the game is fully playable and patched. I have played the main campaign twice and completed most of the side quests while exploring the entire map. Allow me to say that during the 60+ hours, the game never froze. There was one issue when I got stuck in a window and could not move, but apart from that I have not experienced a single glitch whatsoever.
The game is definitely worth buying at this point. The map is huge, the weapon selection is considerably larger than Fallout 3, the characters have great voice actors, and the side quests are filled with solid detail. Whatever bugs may have plagued the game when it launched are totally gone and what's left is a gaming experience I give my full faith to. I encourage and ensure you that this game is worth the money now.
