    A Thousand Curses Upon You Team Ninja.

    Spent about 10\15 hours over the last few days unlocking Helena and Spartan, which invovles finishing the Story mode on Dead or Alive 4 with every character (16 of them), then another 4 hours to unlock Tengu by beating time attack with everyone. Keep in mind this is all the way through, and having to beat Alpha 152 with everyone.

    Last night I was unplugging the modem, knocked the Xbox 360 plug out by accident, put it back in and it booted with the DoA4 disc still in.

    Before I'd noticed it was at the title screen, and the save glitch, which wipes you data by loading DoA before you have signed in, so it treats it as the first time you have played the game happened, and removed all my progess. 15+ hours of mostly tedious game play down the drain.

    How can any company release a game with such a blatant and annoying glitch? Quality control? Play testing?

    I knew about the glitch, but you only have a few seconds if it slips your mind, and to be honest, its beyond sloppy that Team Ninja could let this game go to retail with such a glaring error in the code.

    A fix is coming out this month apparently. I really hope that Xbox 360 games don't go the way of PC games, and get released full of glitches and bugs because they can be updated later.

    Nobody takes the game out before they turn the console on, so almost everyone who hasn't read about the glitch on a message board before buying it will get hit by this at least once.

    Grrrr. How about a bit of play testing *before* you put in on shelves expecting people to pay £40 for it?

    Very annoying. Ah well, I can't face doing that again until I've had a big break from the game. Time for some more Gotham 3...

    15 hours of tediously playing through the game, getting countered by the cheapest AI I've ever seen, followed by the dodgiest boss in the history of dodgy bosses, only for it to be wiped out by a glitch that wouldn't make it through a stoners quality control.

    Shame on you Team Ninja. Its not as if its an obscure glitch. How this didn't get picked up in testing I, and the many people I've seen also amazed \ pissed off at this on various message boards will never know.

    Pah.

    Indeed. Shame about the rest of the AI. Breasts aside, its not the best.

    The countering system is great for human \ human matches, but the AI, when it goes into Matrix style counter mode is just annoying.

    I've lost rounds entirely by being countered at times. During impossibly fast combos, no matter how much you mix up your attacks.

    Anyway, I'll stop moaning about the game now. Despite not actually working properly and being cheaper than a very cheap thing, its still, along with Gotham 3 and PDZ the only game actually worth owning on the 360 at the moment.

    Played demos of Quake 4 and Full Auto earlier. Both terrible.
