Playstations get dust on their lenses and innards and start slowing down pretty quick. A taxing game like this probably takes hits faster due to such things.
My pc version runs alright on my laptop. Merely alright, not spectacularly. Water makes it crash, and oftentimes it just takes a nosedive, but besides that I still enjoy being the stranger with the big iron on his hip.
Point. And that reminds me I need to get a new can of duster.
However, literally no other game I have acts like this. Even Fallout 3.
Both Fallout 3 and Oblivion get a little finicky after a marathon session (Oblivion freezes during loading screens from an Oblivion Gate to the world proper after more than five hours straight of gaming) but Fallout 3 has always played without any issues as major as New Vegas.
New Vegas, as I said, is like a ticking bomb. You just sorta have to play in fits and starts until the game decides you should stop.
