oh my god, I'm so sick of the TERRIBLE ass load times this game has. I've installed it to the hard drive and it still takes 30 to 40 seconds at every load. fallout 3 was no where near this bad

the first game thats basically a loading screen in a box
" yea, its getting super frustratig. i go half the places in the game now and the frame rate is taking a nose dive too. I've been playing for like 6 hours though. does it help to restart your 360 or maby clear the system cach? "I don't know about the 360, but for the PS3 version, restarting the console helped noticeably. It also got rid of this annoying bug where every time I pulled up my laser rifle scope, it would display a computer monitor instead of the crosshairs.
" My load times are 2-3 seconds, glad I got it on PC. "also the command console makes the bugs 1000x more bearable.
Just like Oblivion and Fallout 3, delete your game's cache once in a while. It will fix most problems.
I never noticed the load times being bad at all.. though I like looking at the ads and stuff they show during their load screens.
If you disable auto-saving, it speeds up the loads times.
Just remember to actually save once in a while before you get destroyed by Deathclaws.

Load times still got up to 30 second+ with the game installed to the hard drive. As for Fallout 3, 25+ second loads when installed was pretty typical.
" You're only using about 10% of your brain so install it in there. "That's just a myth and has yet to be proven true.
If you follow this procedure you will have nothing to complain about.......in that respect anyway. :)
there were definitely occasions where it froze while loading, glitched me through the floor, chugged when i went into a new area after loading, or even just straight up freezing for no reason at all.

No they don't, loads were fast as hell on Oblivion and FO3 compared to New Vegas. The game was produced terribly. "I never compared FO3 and Oblivion loading times to NV since I only have NV for the PC. However, the loading times I listed were accurate. I was just pointing out that all games that Bethesda has released on the Gamebryo engine have had long load times. I just did a quick test myself with FO3 installed to the hard drive. Loading a save from the menu took about 22 seconds and loading from Megaton to the Capital Wasteland took about 21 seconds. Oblivion load times were definitely longer than FO3 so the 30 second load time when installed seems accurate.
It is a bit strange that load times increase the longer you play. I've only put in one or two marathon sessions on New Vegas, but had the same issue. But since I rarely play for more than an hour at a time, it hasn't been a problem. I haven't tried clearing the cache. I'll have to see what difference that makes. Generally my load times aren't more than thirty seconds or so, which isn't bad. Unlike Oblivion, neither Fallout game has had the occasional load symbol pop up just when navigating the open world.
The weird thing about New Vegas is that some of the areas are very small with short loads going in and long loads coming out. They could have balanced this a bit better than they did, but overall I haven't had long load times and I don't have the game installed on the 360's hard drive.
Edit: I do remember long load times in the distant past. I used to boot up games on my Commodore 64 as a kid and then go make breakfast. Sometimes the games were actually loaded by the time I was finished. And no, I'm not joking. :)
