[quote=http://gameinformer.com/b/news/archive/2010/11/08/bethesda-says-new-vegas-has-shipped-5-million-units.aspx]While Fallout: New Vegas his shelves with its fair share of problems, that hasn't seem to have affected its sales prospects. Bethesda has announced that five million copies of the latest game in its Fallout series have shipped since the game's October launch. Between the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC retail versions and digital downloads, the publisher says that New Vegas has paid out more than $300 million for Bethesda.
“We are delighted by the reception Fallout: New Vegas has received from fans around the world,” said Vlatko Andonov, president of Bethesda Softworks. "Despite the large launch quantities for this title, we have already received substantial re-orders from our retail partners, underscoring the tremendous popularity of this highly entertaining game. We believe Fallout: New Vegas will be the “must buy” title for gamers throughout the holiday season.”
Although we don't know exactly how many these units have been sold yet, New Vegas should continue being a money fountain for the company if past experiences hold true. Fallout 3 was supported by an onslaught of expansions and DLC, and New Vegas will apparently be no different.[/quote]
Ring-a-ding-ding, Bethesda.

Even though the engine for it is a pile of crap?

Gamebryo may be shit, but you can mod the fuck out of it, though. Also, enough tweaks to the configuration files can make it nearly crash free.

The story however is brilliant.
Cool, now they can afford a new engine and maybe more than one animator!
Shame instead of putting money into fixing bugs they put into advertising.
Its no wonder it got so many sales. Make Oblivion with guns, with iron sights and then proceed to whore it out just like the wii. Good game though. Even if it was unplayable at times.
That's one unit for every glitch in the game :smug:

What does the engine have to do with making a decent game?
I didn't like vegas, out door areas felt very unfinished and undetailed, like a mod. Indoors look good though.
This is a brilliant game. It's kept me busy playing for a couple weeks now. Although honestly, Bethesda is nothing the way they used to be. I wish those bastards would go back to taking their time in painstakingly producing original games with original content.
I could care less about the engine, or about how buggy it is. All bethesda games are unoptimized and glitchy, but they are also extremely open ended, easily modified and provide hours of entertainment for me. I just wish they'd go back to the way they made games like Morrowind. You can tell they took a lot more time in that game, considering all the unique stuff they made-- all the little notes and side quests and stuff.
I wish there was more of that in New Vegas. There are some notes here and there talking about people gambling their savings away, but they don't actually exist. I wish there was more stuff that jumped out at you and made you actually almost believe that the characters are living in post apocalyptic Las Vegas, which is something they didnt do very well to be honest.
There's not enough big city feel to it, Freeside is large but it is pretty featureless.

It does suck at alot of things, admittedly. There are alot of better engines out there these days. It works, but they need to release a 2.0 pretty quickly.
I don't give a shit what engine its running. You're playing a goddamn RPG, you should demand more RPG elements in the game.

Gameplay > Graphics.
Stop crying, I want Goodfellas, not Avatar.
I demand better AI
[QUOTE=s0m3_guy;25938370]I demand better AI[/QUOTE]
That'd require a massive overhaul of the engine.

it hardly crashes for me
It should be more like - loadingloadingloadingloadingloadingloadingloadingloadingloadingloadingloadingloading
Walk ten steps then "FREEZE" walk ten steps then "JITTER", walk into an interior cell and look at a bunch of NPC's and "FREEZE"
It's a god awful engine, hope they get rid of it and never use it again.

Yeah lets magically produce an engine within the deadline for this project that accomadates thousands of different meshes, a huge geometric landscape and several hundred NPC's with voice acting.
Good. Now honour the dedicated buyers and fans with regular updates. Use the benefits of steam.

For all I care it could be a friggin SNES game as long as it has the amount of content this game provides.
