I’ve been playing Fallout: New Vegas since it came out and I have to say: “Bravo for cranking out the most unplayable piece of crap that’s ever appeared on console or pc.” The game itself is fun, but the shear amount of bugs and glitches make it downright unplayable. The Fallout Wiki even has a list of the bugs on each person, event, place, and object; and each entry has at least one, but usually several bugs. I don’t mind the occasional “oops, I got stuck in the floor.” Just reload the last save and your golden. New Vegas, however, has bugs that make it impossible to finish missions and my companions either disappear or just stand around and wont go anywhere with me. I don’t think calling this game buggy is a fair assessment, the word infested would be more suitable. Do Bethesda and Obsidian have Quality Assurance people? Based on the “quality” of this game I can only assume one of two things: either they don’t have a QA team or they have a team on untrained, rabid monkeys doing the job. But what do they care? People are buying it (including me) and they’re making money, so why would they spend time and money on something they’re going to bank on anyway? Sorry, I just had to rant about that for a bit, it’s been pissing me off. If you want the game, I would highly recommend waiting until they release patches to fix it (if they ever do). It’s always sad to see a game that could be awesome brought down by carelessness and haste. Not to idolize Blizzard here, but at least they wait until the product is finished instead of rushing to get it out when it’s half done.
