This is just another game in the same universe, not related to fallout 3 or anything, so yea, you can start with New Vegas if you want

Why do people keep calling it an expansion pack?
That would be the same as calling pokémon black and white an expansion pack of pokemon diamond.

wont bother with this game till it gets some MAJOR updates.

It's pretty playable actually.

Okay, I think I have enough material to base a review on. Wish me luck guys.

10/10 GOTY from you?

Sure, I would like a GOTY edition for a game 2 years in a row.

[/sarcasm] In all seriousness, go read my review.

That depends on a large variety of things. Firstly, the console you're playing it on. Secondly, your opinion of what is "playable". Thirdly, how lucky you are when you play, as some people experience all the bugs, some people experience just one crash. Fourthly, your style of play, because if you don't explore all the side quests, companions, or quest-branches, you won't see half the bugs.

It seems to me that the people who don't experience the bugs think that there are simply no bugs.

On PC i've experienced one crash, and immediately after Fallout crashed...steam got me to install an update (I run F3 through steam obviously), so i'm curious if the update screwed the game up.

But otherwise i've done boatloads of sidequests, most of the main quest, gotten all, or nearly all, companions, and explored for hours.
All I have to report is that one suspicious crash, and a lot of people i've talked to (PC users) haven't reported problems either.

It sucks the poor little consoles can't handle the game, but really if you're just going to whine and bitch about 'bugs', get out. Let the people actually playing the game actually talk about the ****ing game. Tired of scrubs and noobs in this thread just whining like little morons replying the same way over and over.
Drop it, or get a PC that can handle games running on a somewhat old game engine.

I've crashed SIX times while doing the quests in the starting area, thats with the latest patch the DLL fix, My computer can handle the game running at 60 FPS on ultra settings with 4AA so that doesn't make much sense, The game is very buggy and the forums are FLOODED with problems, Just because you haven't experienced much doesn't mean anything, I have also lost auto saves.


At this point in time its almost inexcusable, Sorry to say this but on a technical side it runs like poopie.

Go to the Bethesda bug reporting page. I made a complaint, and within literally 120 seconds my post was on page 3, being shoved down by people making new bug reports. You have no idea about the larger picture.

It's funny you posted right after me, because I was just explaining how people think that there are no bugs simply because they haven't experience any (or many).

There are bugs. Lots of bugs.
Get over it.

Has anyone actually found a reliable place to buy throwing knives/hatchets/spears?

Maybe it's just you. There's been plenty of reports of the game not being nearly as bad in terms of crashes. I was playing it at my friends house for about 4 hours with no crashes on his PC. He was playing it for about 10 hours with one crash. He then restarted his computer and didn't get a single crash after that. Stop blaming the game when everyone else is reporting that it's not nearly as bad as you have it.

And all you've been bitching about is glitches. Fallout 3 was a buggy piece of shit and this is a buggy piece of shit. Deal with it. If you actually stopped your whining then maybe you'd realize how good of a game it is underneath it.

Side note: Ultra settings are pretty useless. My friend turned it from Ultra to High (even though his computer can run Ultra fine) and it ran a lot better and looked about the same.

Too busy playing Fallout 3 GOTY edition to be already bothered with this game.
I'm almost done with Fallout 3 for the second time now, now finally starting to get some mods implemented. Fallout 3 is just such an amazing game, so big, amazing shit. I'll probably play this version when the GOTY edition comes out, I've got enough to keep me busy till then.

Pretty cool having to download a DLL to fix the framerate problem of the game.

Good game underneath, terrible technical problems though.

And as I've said before, it's retarded to assume that a game is bug free, simply because you haven't experienced any problems.
If you've been aware of the general feedback of New Vegas (from actual players, not reviewers), you'd know that this game is practically beta on the technical side.
But, granted, the actual gameplay is fine.

I know it's a buggy piece of shit, I called it a buggy piece of shit in my comment and talked about how it did indeed crash. I'm just sick of him constantly complaining about the technical crap (when Fallout 3 was also terribly buggy) instead of just finally realizing that yeah, it's buggy and glitchy, but hey it's an awesome game underneath it. Instead of complaining about the game constantly maybe he can just play it through the glitches and still realize it's a lot of fun.

I think that once people stop saying "it's got no bugs cause I haven't seen any!", then we can drop it.
I mean, it's a pretty serious problem that Bethesda released a game that is this broken, and lots of people (that paid money for it) either can't get it to run at a stable framerate, have constant crashes, glitches, or can't even get the game to run at all.

There are over 4,000 official complaints on the Bethesda support page alone, and over 20,000 posts. And that obviously isn't counting the rest of the internet, who can't be bothered going on the official forum.

Now, when we're talking about bugs, are you guys talking about the PC version or the console ones? Cause to be honest, I've only run into like 3 or 4 total in my 80+ hours of play on the 360. That's not terrible in my opinion.

PC could be terrible for all I know.
