I got the Force Unleashed 2 in the mail today and I am having way more fun with it than the demo lead me to believe I would. I suggest you try it at some point. They tightened it up a bit. Oh, and it is beautiful.
Still having some issues with Fallout: New Vegas. The glitches are pretty much game breaking. Check it out. The game does not give me a perk when I level up. That is to say, when I was still able to level up. See, I’ve been level 5 for hours now, killing any number of things, discovering locations, picking locks and all the other things that give you XP. Except my leveling bar has not budged. So, yeah. I can’t level up in an RPG. Seems pretty broken to me.
I’m taking a break from it. I’ll return when I can muster the will to replay large sections of Fallout 3. I mean, wait. No, yeah, that’s about right.
Jerks.
EDIT: I seriously just finished The Force Unleashed 2. Had I actually paid for this game, I would be super pissed. There are 3 locations to visit. Sure, these levels are expansive, and there are a few jaw-dropping set pieces, but I just can’t abide a Star Wars story that is kind of like a run to the super market, followed by a quick stop at the bank and then straight back home. Even if Vader’s waiting with a roast, an epic journey that ain’t.

I would return that trash. Hope it was a rental.
How does this game have so many issues? How?

Well, I've got ~ 15 hours of gametime and haven't had a single glitch / load times are fine etc… So why it's fucking some people over, I don't know. As I said, we've run through just about every fix he can think of.
Oh, the only issue I've had is that is seems none of the pre-order bonus codes work in Australia, but that seems to have been a good thing for me!

If you think about it, their marketing scheme is brilliant, running a game on older technology to amass more tons of dollars, because unfortunately, people all look past the game breaking shit and still buy and tolerate this game, thus anything to fix this problem never gets done. It's kinda like how all the sonic games will continue to be terrible til the end of time, since SEGA is making huge boats of money still. I wish developers had respect for the gamer :/

With no time stamp on the EDIT, I like to believe the span of your playing time was 10-15 minutes. No? Don't care, I find it funny.
I haven't had any major issues with New Vegas. Froze 3 times in 25+ hours. Pretty much what I expected. I'm playing on PS3 though, perhaps that has something to do with it.

see personally, I'd recommend getting it on PC. I have it and it works just fine.

Mac. Photoshop.
Have thought about a strictly gaming PC for a long time.

Agreed, PS3 seems to be a lot more stable than the versions these poor fools are playing.
I was terribly disappointed with Force Unleashed II though. It's not even really a sequel; but more of an expansion. I liked the combinations of saber crystals and effects, but it just needs more play and more story.
