This will change with time. Speaking with us this morning, Bethesda PR man Pete Hines confirmed that Bethesda is working on patches and updates for all three versions of the game. Specific announcements about these patches are coming, too.
"We are currently working on releasing patches/updates as quickly as possible for Fallout: New Vegas, for all platforms," Hines said via e-mail. "Announcements regarding the patches are forthcoming."
Numerous bug videos are hitting YouTube at the moment, as players are actively uploading their favorites. I'm partial to the moonwalking dog video, but The Exorcist rotating-head vid is pretty rad as well. What a way to welcome someone in the game, eh? Anyway, I've embedded these clips just below if you'd like to take a gander. I suppose you could also try to experience hitches yourselves in our own copies of the game, but you better do it fast.
Moonwalking Dog:
Guy With Spinning Head:
Instead, give us some broken code and promise us a patch "at a later date".
I guarantee you there will be a PC mod that fixes these issues before Bethesda does.
Also the rotating head thing is HILARIOUS especially as that is like the first thing you see when your character wakes up.
That's still better than waiting weeks or even months to announce a patch. While I personally haven't had any problems with the game yet, I'd like to be able to stop worrying about what might happen as soon as possible.
That rotating head video is fucking hilarious, by the way. Also kind of disturbing....
Just a thought, but remember when games used to actually be finished when they were released? I'm starting to feel like we should be refunded $10 if a game has to be patched within he frst week.
