You can take a look at some of the bugs in the embedded video, or hit up YouTube for even more. Is it really that simple? Should we be more understanding of bugs in an ambitious, open-world game? This patch is likely to be part one of a long-running series. The first patch is already live for the PC version, with console patches on the way.
'I think when you create a game as large as Fallout 3 or New Vegas you are going to run into issues that even a testing team of 300 won't spot, so we're just trying to address those as quickly as possible and so is Bethesda,' senior designer Chris Avellone told CVG. So why are we all so tolerant of bugs in a major release? Based on my Steam and Xbox Live friends list, the chatter on the forums, and posts on Twitter, it's selling very well. We weren't alone in our verdict, as the game scored between 82 and 87 on Metacritic. I told him to go with his gut, and he gave it a 'Buy' rating. While writing our Fallout: New Vegas review, Andrew Webster contacted me to ask for guidance on how to give a verdict to a very enjoyable game that was filled with bugs.
