Well I'm in the process of finding all of Dee's Letters, and I'm going to get the one in Bricklane Flats. SO I go back there and there's a wall you can blow up with C4, so I go to it, but I get welcomed with a "need C4" message on screen. I had recently just blown up a wall about 20 mins before that with C4 and it's an infinite item. I tried reloading, but no go.

This is quite far in the game, but I guess I'm SOL and have to restart it unless there's a fix for it, Anyone else run into this glitch?

I also found a game breaking glitch at the carnival, not as harsh cause all you have to do is restart the carnival, I did it a second time just to be sure it's a glitch.

Despite the glitches, it's still a pretty damn good game. I ended up making it to the nursery and met a very unfortunate a frustrating demise just before I was going to start my escape. There was only one unlocked entrance back into the room. Easily made it back to retrieve my stuff, but the one unlocked entrance had the door closed. When I approached the door the open door button didn't pop up. Reloaded, no good.

Restarting...... Oh well. Maybe I won't die as much this time!

It's a great game, it's right up there with the atmosphere of Condemned, it's a very well made launch title. Just pisses me off that I now can't progress and at this point, I don't want to restart, maybe in a couple of months or something.

Didn't know other people were having issues, now I am sure my game is glitched too. Although I am still on the first set of objectives where you need to go to the market and scan the CCTV boxes. I scanned them and was told to get back to the safe house but died in the processes. Now the game still thinks I need to scan the CCTV and I can't do anything else. The little yellow marker just keeps on telling me to go in circles.

Reading this makes me sad. What is the state of games today? How can they not fix those bugs?

Because its cheaper then spending all kinds of money on real testing. Release a buggy game, let the players give it a good testing, and then just release a patch.

Granted there's bugs, this is still a great launch title. I had to restart, but I'm actually excited to restart this one!

On that note, time to continue on my zombie quest while I wait for The Walking Dead!

The state of any system with storage/hard drive on it.  Make the date regardless, hide any bugs you can from NOA product release testing that would keep it from going to print, and then let people blow the thing up in their faces and use the complaints to fix the problems in patches.  It's a large reason I mostly quit doing PC gaming a decade or so ago as I got fed up with the guinea pig approach.  These days I often will not buy new games either until they're out a month or so so other people can be the patsies.

I have this game coming in the mail to me, owner finished it (NA member) so if it's disc specific and not doing certain things right or wrong I should be fine, and Mario, ME3 and NintendoLand have been smooth too so far.

Atleast Wii U has an update system, let the devs know. I wonder what Nintendo's update setup is like in terms of pushing patches out, compared to say XBL, for fast tracking dev updates / charges

Nevermind guys, false alarm, apparently I was looking for the not in the wrong area, but still... C4 isn't supposed to disappear, it's like the lockpick or hammer. I just hope I don't need to blow up that wall to continue, or at least I find some C4 where I'm heading.

I think the WiiU platform for updates we've seen when you load up Mario or NIntendo Land in the system, it gets stuck, does an download and then install, then the game fires up so it's nothing more special than what the others do.

At least there's no mandatory install to harddrive, that's quite the annoyance for the PS3.
