This week the new Fallout: New Vegas DLC, Honest Hearts was released. As many fans have noticed, the game itself has been filled with a numerous amount of bugs since launch and there have been a number of patches to fix them. It's sad to say that this isn't new with games that have been released on this engine. Oblivion and New Vegas' predecessor, Fallout 3 also had problems at launch time and those problems were fixed with patches and updates. But back to the matter at hand.
...The DLC has a bug, not a surprise see how the game was full of em'. Apperently the side quest "ED-E My Love" won't let you open a save if you save during the mission. Bethesda says they are currently working on said problem but there is another issue, "If you already have a save game where the bug is occurring, the fix will not apply and you'll need to revert to an earlier save prior to ED-E leaving in order to play through Honest Hearts." This is the biggest problem I have with game developers today. Why are you going to release to your customers that has that many problems with it, Don't set deadlines you can't meet. I played New Vegas for about 15 hours myself and I found it nearly unplayable because of all the bugs I encountered. The thing is, I probably would have enjoyed it otherwise. I loved Fallout 3. I beat that game and played almost all the side quests. It goes to show what a series of bugs and glitches can do to an otherwise great game.
