Fallout: New Vegas tops sales charts, more fixes

[Brother None]

Obsidian and Bethesda have reason to be glad, as Metacritic reports Fallout: New Vegas is leading the US/UK sales charts for multiplatform, Xbox 360 and PC.

Meanwhile, they're fixing it further.<blockquote>“We are also pleased to say that we have just released a second fix for PC users to address the autosave and quicksave issues that some people were encountering. That particular issue was never seen prior to release and it was extremely difficult to reproduce reliably, even after the game had launched. In order to fix this problem we have had to disable Steam Cloud functionality. It has been turned off, and we won’t turn it back on until we’re absolutely sure it will not cause any more problems. Please restart your Steam client to make sure you get the update.”</blockquote>

That's not a fix, that's a workaround.

True, but as long as it works and is applied to everyone, I'll count it as a fix.

It seems to be doing pretty well on the PC market in the UK, I wonder how much of that is to do with Steam. A few "big" games recently didn't chart at all on the PC.[1]

And new Professor Layton game out? Hot damn.

[1] Bioshock 2 springs to mind.

Strong commercial performance? Woo!
This game deserves to sell well.

Glad to hear it. IMO this is probably as close as we're ever going to see to a true Fallout game. I hope it is successful, because I'd like to see Obsidian work on more of them. I'm actually enjoying this game greatly.
