Forum:Point Lookout PS3 has inexcusable bugs.

Simply put, Bethesda must have seriously rushed the PS3 edition of Point Lookout. Having played it now for more than 2 weeks, I can say I'm seriously disappointed with the programming quality. Inexplicable framerate slowdowns to almost 0 in the swamp areas, slowdown and freezing inside Calvert Mansion whenever in VATS, and the biggest of all... freezing at least a dozen times on me while trying to approach the ferry, or shortly after it arrives at either the Wasteland or Point Lookout! This always requires I hit the toggle switch on the back to cut off main power, as it seems to freeze the entire system, and I can't even access the PS menu!

There's NO excuse for this bad programming, not for a company as experienced as Bethesda. I want to know what they're doing as far as patches to correct this.

I had similar problems with PL on PS3: some things I read about on the Bethesda forums that helped include:
 * Restart PS3 (obviously, you've done this)
 * Remove multiple headgear from the Chinese Stealth Suit exploit
 * Plug in controller while playing
 * Sign out of PSN while playing

Good Luck!

I'm not surprised to hear this. Fallout 3 is the most bug-filled game I have ever played. -The Puppet Master
 * bout damn time PS3 user's got something bad from choosing that system...i personally think the company that makes playstation consoles has gotten too cocky over the years, viva la xbox360!Toolazytomakeaaccount 03:11, November 7, 2009 (UTC)
 * oh please, its because of 360 that the PS3 is in the desprite state that its in. so it only makes sense that they'd rush. dam microsoft and their freakn exclusive deal's. the only reason the 360 is so succesful is because they play cheap! not to mention they're freakn blood suckers for the endless fee's they charge! we barely pay a buck on our content, while you guys are actually PAYING for demo's and trailers we get those for free! i usually care about the subject... but i'm tired of you guys thinking your only freakn consol in existence!!!

 * FYI i dont pay for my xbox membership, its at silver level yet i can still download anything i want, of coarse getting microsoft things is slightly expensive its worth it, and yes i think the playstation company is too damn cocky, with there good graphics this and "epic" games that are PS3 exclusive, so you know what? who gives a damn, both consoles have downsides/upsides, at least some games are less buggy for 360, and by god im happy we have some upsides you cocky(yes i said it again) PS3 user's, personally i wish i had a half decent PC so i could play these games and be able to mod/edit them, god knows thats annoying for me, PC users get overpowered games..Toolazytomakeaaccount 03:08, November 8, 2009 (UTC)
