guyr remember that we all bought our versions right when the game came out, if u want unglitched perfection you almost have to wait until it becomes a greatist hit. just give it a lil time, save your recipt and buy a new one right when its about to expire.
Or they could just make a patch for people to download. =P

Or test this more. To many, and I mean MANY, companies put out bugs in games these days. AND our favorite game was delayed when they were dropped from a publisher, remember that? So they had TIME to fix this issues. I know some haven't seen many, but they are not “end of the world” bad, but still shouldn't have been in a game that had time to be polished to perfection, or very close. I was surprised when I saw/heard of some of the glitches.

I think that's an excellent point.

I too was suprised to see certain elements having a lack of polish, or even common sense, considering the extra time the game was afforded.

I had a glitch in the cemetary which caused Ray to keep shooting at a ghost after it had been captured. The shell of this ghost, complete with life meter, would not go away and could not be recaptured or moved. Seeing as Ray was fixated, i had to go through the rest of the level by myself in order to advance to the next book mark that would allow me to load the game from that point and not have to replay the level.

Whenever something like getting more time happens to a games release, the developers usually work on various aspect of the games from most needed to less needed…something is done for glitches.

They make a list of known glitches, put them in order from critical to not so critical and work on them as they can. Sometimes, because of this, some glitches at the bottom of the list are overlooked. Hell, sometimes fixes of “critical” glitches can cause glitches themselves. And sometimes those new glitches from the fixes are just not caught in time. It's not as easy as “just fixing them”…unfortunately thats not how it works

Very true, but sound cutting out, unlockables going away, and things sticking and holding the game up to make you restart should have been UP on the list don't ya think?

and for all we know those could have been glitches caused by fixes to the last batch of crucial glitches before the game shipped. Coding is a fickle mistress indeed.

A lot of job's in this world aren't easy, but when you get an extra year to polish something, it better be pretty darn good.

No game will ever be perfect, but I don't think it's unreasonable to expect some pretty obvious problems to be fixed.

Not the end of the world, just disappointing.

has there been any word on when anything will be added to be downloaded? An Update, a patch, a downloadable level, extras, etc?

I dunno about glitches… but yesterday I bought the 12 months gold membership pack, and playing Live, it got freeze two times in a row, and later, another one… that´s the glitches you´re experiencing???

I started to worry, but I quit it and start playing Gears of War 2 live and I played for more than 2 hours and no freeze.
