Everyone knows Bethesda doesnt care about PS3 customers but its release of Fallout 3 has hit a new low. Customers posting on Bethesdas forum are finally snapping back.

Honestly I have spent a good 8hrs playing this game and have not experienced any issues besides the message notification and a couple of skips in the audio but it does disgust me to see that Bethesda fix for every bug is "Making a save and reloading it may resolve this issue." I fear that as soon as I get deep into the game I will start see a lot of these issues. I hope Bethesda release a patch soon or at least act like they are trying to resolve these issues for the PS3 customers.

I don't think that will make any difference, if they happen to release a patch it will be by they're own will. The only ones winning there are the guys from digg having more visitors

Heres the thing, we knew from E3 and Pax that Fallout3 would not have trophies or the additional content. I am sick of these posts. If you are not happy dont buy it, a company can support who ever they choose. I got it on 360 for the achievements and content and I am loving the game. I only buy PS3 games if they support trophies because I want companies to realize they are important to people. Otherwise I get um on 360/PC, end of story.

I buy the PS3 version if they are similar since the discs don't scratch. If its 360/PC I buy it on PC. I only buy exclusives for my 360. I got Fallout 3 for PC off Steam, and so far I like it, but I refuse to support half a** PS3 ports.

Its not just visual glitches that are the problem, that I could live with, its the fact the graphics are clearly below par on the PS3, no AA, and low rez textures, this is BS.

Please stop with the crying. First Valve, then Bethesda...yet Socom gets a Post-Patch review from IGN and still lands a 4.5, nobody says a word.

My fingers pointed at Sony.

I personally purchased the PS3 version and was able to return it. (Thankfully the EBgames employee, though suspicious allowed me store credit). I opted for the PC version instead. The only issues I had were occasional game freezes (really don't think this is the console's fault as it is the only game that has done this of eight). As well as some weird clipping issues with one or two NPCs. (Which at the time were hilarious, guys buried to the waste in dirt). Still though, it feels like they reluctantly ported this to PS3. Feel nicer on PC, even if there is nothing fundamentally wrong with the PS3 version. The game was a 'little' too overhyped IMO though.

Really, these guys on message boards are blowing things seriously out of proportion. Aside from the notifications issue, the PS3 port really doesn't have any glitches not found in the other versions. Some textures are not as high res up close... but that is hardly an issue and the game looks gorgeous.

Makes me think maybe The Orange Box wasn't as bad as everyone made it out to be....

I have over 10 hours into this game on PS3 and so far the only problem i've seen is the notifications bug. I turned notifications off and i'm having a blast with the game.

I do agree that Bethesda should have made a better port, but for crying out loud, all this whining is just getting ridiculous.

I believe the term is...be careful what you wish for?

Keep harrassing Bethesda guys, then they'll go the way of Valve and not dev for PS3.

Wow, I was never a Half-Life/Orange Box kind of guy so I dont really know any news on Valve, etc.

Sorry for the noob sounding question, but was Valve's actual reason really because of complaints, or was it too much of a hassle to dev for PS3, or what?

I think it was just the hassle. Either way, you never want a dev like Valve walking away from your system/console. And nothings set in stone right now, they could make games for PS3 again, but Left 4 Dead will be 360/PC only.

A game with the Sony logo and support, is practically unplayable. Yet you're freaking out over an XMB notification bug that could very well see a patch fix? Nothing will fix Socom, and that was supposed to be a big Sony title.

Well, my bug addled experience of nearly losing my 30+ hour save file due to an in game story ending bug on the 360 with Oblivion has taught me that Bethesda can't code for crap. And on neither the 360 or PS3 would I pick this game up.

Sure it's inferior graphically. But I don't have a high spec PC or Xbox 360, so it doesn't really bother me that much, because it's an awesome game.
