Just a quick little post to remind ye good folks that Fallout: New Vegas has finally been released. Fallout 3 was a complete time sink for me, and I consider it one of the greatest massively non-multiplayer non-online role-playing games EVER. And thus I was heavily anticipating this new 'un.
Alas, the game is rife with disappointment. Why?
---
Because it is just so riddled with bugs. People have been reporting different problems, from strange asset disappearances, to failed saved games, falling through floors, and my personal issue, stuttering frame rates. It's not my computer, it can play the damn game on the highest settings, and in fact, at times, it is very smooth. But every so often, the game would crawl to a deathly pace.
Apparently, Nvidia cards are not optimized for this game, or vice versa. Anyway, whatever it is, Obsidian has just punched themselves in the face because they had the same bugginess issue with Alpha Protocol. It's not doing wonders for their rep.
A patch is on the way thankfully. I really do want to get back out in the Wastelands and do me some survivin'. What I've seen so far of the game is pretty good, more of the same perhaps but fun all the same.
Until then, have a gander at this rather creepy and yet oh-so-awesome glitch in the opening minutes of the game.
