Fallout: New Vegas Bugs Spur Negative Reviews

EverythingPR writes: After being hammered by the mainstream gaming media for having one of the glitchiest games of the decade, Fallout:New Vegas takes a new blow from PCWorld, which twists the knife in the wound listing links and texts that describe the game in very discouraging terms. It all may seam as a universal coalition against a game that promised a lot.

Sounds like PCWorld didn't get their paycheck in time.

Do you say that about every negative review? Not trying to be an a##hole but it sure seems like it

toaster4953d ago (Edited 4953d ago )

Or maybe he's on to something... I swear every game in recent memory with game-breaking glitches and shoddy programming have gotten low review scores. New Vegas has yet to receive anything lower than a 70%.. what good is a game if you can't actually play the damn thing without it getting a fucking conniption?

Something isn't right with the reviews if you ask me. Any other game with these type of glitches the reviewers would bash it and rant about how unplayable the game is, and then give it 50-60 score. New Vegas has all of these, and even gamers are reporting that the game has sequences that are unplayable because of the bugs (see: Bethesda forums).

These sites make money off ads these guys buy so ya no surprise. Look at any of the big sites n u tell me how many talked about the bugs in the last one tho no one can play a whole fallout 3 game on a console without hitting a few...
yep must b the cool-aid

especially when you look at MW2's online that was rampant with glitches and bugs, and even when they sent patches a new glitch or bug appeared, its funny because i didn't really see a mention of these glitches in the reviews

CrawFail4953d ago

@dilhole

well fallout 3 sure was buggy and i didn't not receive a cheque.

dickhead

I've encountered one freezing issue so far after about 4 hours of gameplay. Also an annoying camera angle issue when the guy who tells you about the special bottle caps pops into your life. There's also been some stuttering in the game, but nothing game crashing or gameplay affecting.

So, it's not as bad as it could be, but I'm hoping it doesn't freeze up on me anymore.

Chuk54953d ago

I'm only seeing 8s and 9s, so I don't get the negative part.

-Alpha4953d ago

Maybe those 8s could have been 9s and those 9s could have been 10s if not for the bugs.

VileAndVicious4953d ago

Ive been playing it for a while and it IS buggy but to me more importantly its the exact same game from 2 years. That to me means it deserves a much lower score.

Dont get me wrong Fallout 3 was a blast and I enjoyed it. But so far New Vegas just seems like a reskinned version. Im sooooo dissapointed by the lack of innovation.

General Shrooms4953d ago

I don't know where the good reviews are coming from, Fallout 3 was not a good game, it was buggy, ugly, lame combat, horrible animation, bad story, and so on. New Vegas looks like same old same old. Fallout 2 is better than Fallout 3 in every way and it is 10 years older and in 2d.

S4NDM4N4952d ago

New Vegas looks like the closest thing we'll get to a modern Fallout.

Fallout's main focus wasn't the combat. It was the open structure to the quests, the moral ambiquity, the dark humor, the RPG mechanics, the choices, the dialogue and writing etc..

How can you find all of that from a video or a screen?

I hope to God Bethesda gives Fallout 4 to Obsidian and gives them a big budget and lots of time.

If i say something bad about Fallout New Vegas, my bubbles magically disappear...

Games That Were Bad on Release, But Are Now Great

BLG writes, "Some of the most popular games have had a rough start, with some of them being downright unplayable.

Despite that, developers have managed to turn it around for them and make their game worth playing. Here are some games that had a rough start but were pretty great."

Good list..hoped to see Street Fighter 5 there..and it is.

Vits8d ago (Edited 8d ago )

Sea of Thieves... I'm not disagreeing that the game has improved in terms of content. But I feel that the most significant change between now and its release is actually the public perception. Nowadays, most people are aware that the game is a multiplayer PvP-focused experience first and foremost, and not "Black Flag made by Rare". Consequently, people dismissing the whole experience because the single-player aspect is lacking or the story is plain are much less common.

darthv728d ago

Several years ago, i submitted an idea to Rare that would change up the mechanics of battling opponents in the game. whereby if you died in battle, you turned into a skeleton warrior and had to fight your way back to the land of the living. It was an interesting twist on respawning and would allow the player to experience both sides of a battle.

I keep hoping to see something like that get added to the game.

Kaii8d ago

They consider FO 76 & ME Andromeda to be great now 🤭

anast8d ago

Every game in the last 2 decades...

INMATEofARKHAM7d ago

It's sad that this quick retort is more often than not true... The industry's acceptance of release and patch has gone too far.

gunnerforlife7d ago

Days gone! By the end of the game I couldn't drop it down! I went around so many hours killing zombies! It was addictive by the end.

S2Killinit7d ago

That game was just plain good game. It didnt improve, it was just good.

gunnerforlife7d ago

I don't know, I got it abit late, and struggled for a few days, and then all of a sudden it just got good!!

Fallout Anthology Edition Looks Pretty S.P.E.C.I.A.L.

The Fallout Anthology Edition is coming to PC very soon, and is packaged with some very S.P.E.C.I.A.L. bonuses.

-Foxtrot29d ago

It’s an awful downgrade to the last one they did

They included physical disc back then

ocelot0728d ago

Forgot I ordered this until I got the dispatch email.

FPS_D3TH28d ago

I want the first two games to come to iPhone/android

Friendlygamer27d ago (Edited 27d ago )

I would love the classic fallout games on console. Closest I could find was atom rpg, I liked that one a lot

saint_seya27d ago
