No bugs so far (knock on wood)

Just got fallout 3 for the ps3 and I love this game.

Little big planet comes out next week over here I believe and when it does it shall be mine as well (thanks for the tip Jordan #2)

If anyone wants a beta code to COD 5 PC. Pm me

A few hours in and no problem so far-except the damn ants. I cleared out the super market and then headed over to help the kid find his dad and I don't have enough ammo to keep the buggers off me. I'm thinking that I am not ready to fight them. I am almost to level 3

I've been playing Fallout3 all weekend. I must have 20 hrs in the game-it is huge. I haven't had any glitches that I noticed. Game hasn't frozen up...been tons of fun. I did get the guide because this world is huge andlike Oblivion a person can spend a lot of time wandering around getting nowhere...The world map is unwieldy and the maps in the book aren't so good, but the walkthrus are very good.

The graphics in the games are great-when you get into D.C. you can really see the devastation.

I just pre-ordered GOW 2 and chose "release date delivery" for shipping option, it will be here on Friday and s/h was only $6. Amazon kicks ass!

We're assembling 3 TVs and 3 Xboxs in the dorms here to play the 5 player co-op

Is anyone getting Left 4 Dead? That game looks GREAT!

Got little big planet yesterday, this game is fun for everyone, my girlfriend loves to play it, I like to make levels and things like that and our son loves to watch it like a cartoon

On FO 3 - On the 360 - I've read if it crashes - that clearing your cache may help. I have started having huge issues with the game locking up and crashing. I've tried most of the internet fixes I have read about. I finally got it to run in windowed mode with no crashing. This also helped kill the gamma though (very dark). Since then I have tweaked it to run in full mode and no crashes. Only issue I have left is some of the audio doesn't play???? What I have done:

1. Updated video and catalyst drivers
2. Updated audio/video codecs
3. Blew out the insides with air - it was very dirty. (this had a huge effect on the game - overheating the video board????
4. Played with the sync, anit-ailiasing, etc.

My thoughts.... It acts like either a huge memory and/or cpu leak eating up resources. Video or main RAM???? The clean cooling fins and better airflow may be helping, I need to install a thermometer to check the heat.

I just got a travel check from the company so I think a cheap add on sound card to free up the cpu a bit and swapping my ATI X1300 for a GeForce 8600GT 512MB (fastest card I can put in with out a PSU swap). It can't hurt and just might help. Never really owned a Nvidia GPU, but no external power required and it is DirectX10.

Very disappointed in Bethesda, definitly not their norm to put out this buggy a game. On the other hand - I am enjoying it quite a bit and damn ammo is tough to get. I'm having to boost the shooting perks over some other stuff I normally take.

Dude, i've put in less than four hours and have had some game breaking bugs. First, in the very beginning, when you take the test, the guy wouldn't give me my paper, so I just sat at the desk stuck. Restart, go through the bs again. Then at the radio station, after clearing out the baddies, I go up to talk to three dog and my guy gets stuck at the top of the stairs for no reason. he just won't move. I can turn, shoot, but I can't move cause i'm stuck on a little fukcing wall at the top. So I restart and have to do the whole freaking thing again! Then again, on my way towards the washington monument, at the hotel, I clear out the second floor of it's super mutant problem, I don't know where to go, so i'm just wandering, and again my guy gets stuck in a fukcing wall! So restart, and I have to do the whole thing over again! I am beyond frustrated with this game

This is besides the floating corpses, the suspended body parts in mid air, floating brahmins's, and the terrible AI. And why does nobody blink!? The fact that i've had to restart three times already is beyond crazy, I like the game, but I don't even want to keep playing it until the stupid thing gets patched. I hate having to redo things over and over again, this is no good!

Ouch... your having some pain. Might want to do various check point saves instead of having to start over. I used to do that for some other games.

You sound like you either went a different direction or are way ahead of me. I'm the type that explores everthing so i get side tracked and don't typically rush through missions. I'm just completing the first survivior book mission to the grocery store and fixing to report in to the female who gave the mission.

Just getting ready to start the game...I looked at gamefaqs and didn't see any posts about terrible glitches. Maybe your disc is bad. I'm on a 360, so we shall see.

If you check around the forums you will find a number of people having as bad of a time as me. There isn't anything wrong with the disc, it's just a glitchy game.

Joystiqs negareview was also pretty good in picking out the various problems with the game.

Really? What console? I have PS3 and 2 guys down the hall of it for 360, and my roommate has it for PC, and none of them have bugs

PS3. I checked the IGN and GT forums and i'm not the only one having these problems either. I'm done with this game until there's a patch.
