If you really think on it then all games are a grind just portrayed differently, be it story or the actual combat. Wow and TES are gd examples imo, they try to cover the grind by having you mash a bunch of buttons where as say Gears Of War covers it by having challenging fights E.g. bein over run by locusts.

Anyway back on topic: Yea it annoys me somewhat that games these days but sometimes its very hard to find bugs, as it may be due to the computer itself or wasnt found during the testing stage.

Being a programmer myself, and have made a few prototype games, its damn near impossible to find every single bug in a game. Example, in the game i quickly made and tested as much as i could, one of my friends found a bug within 2 seconds, a dead mob decided to attack him after using a potion lol, but even though he tried it there will still be many other bugs in it. Safe to say that game isnt being worked on anymore as i have bigger plans for a game, where ima ctually doin alot of paperwork 1st.

I couldn't off it. My grenades landed to far away to blow me up, I didn't have enough food with radiation to commit suicide. I had killed all the beasts in the area, so none was coming to my rescue. I tried First Person mode and still nothing. I couldn't fast travel because the game treated my character like he was constantly jumping. I had to eventually reset the game.

I don't know how many times this game freezes up too. Probably the worst glitch I have seen is actually sneaking across the country and getting to New Vegas without being killed by the deathclaws. If you do the game glitches and a ton of quests pretty much cease to exist.

I haven't seen this many games with glitches in a long time. Games used to be rigorously tested before being shipping out. Now they can ship them out half-assed and fix them with a update later. In addition, the companies like to leave out significant portions of games to be retooled and marketed as expansion packs or as seperate games like New Vegas.

Uh, why not just reload your save?

In Fallout 3 I just borrowed my friend's DLC disks and downloaded it on my 360. Can you do that in New Vegas? (Kinda random question for this thread, but whatever)
