Raine, Holy Sh*t you summed up my whole view on Gears.
And as far as game companies testing their games, they only make sure that they are playable not perfect.
I would love it if companies had to justify the cost by how good the game is. Like gears IMHO should have been 29.99, I mean campaign was all right, and horde was the only MP that was playable, 15mins to matchmake a deathmatch is f'ing piss poor. Where as CoD4 totally justified its 59.99 when it released last year, good campaign, great MP, great replay value too, unlike gears.

I really think that the price of games should reflect the caliber of the game - I think it is ridiculous to pay 60 for a game that is filled with glitches. I have technically not purchased a game for 60 dollars yet. The only one that technically counts is Star Wars: TFU but I used 60 dollars of codes to get it for free.
I was massively disappointed with the game due to all the glitches. I played again in the past week and found it to be much more fun with some of the glitches fixed. Even with the glitches fixed I'm not sure I would have paid 60 dollars for the game though.
I paid 10 dollars for Alone in the Dark and I actually semi-enjoyed the game (the story was total total total total total^10^100 crap & the ending didn't even make sense). I would have shot myself had I paid 60 dollars for it (or even 30).
I have NOT played Gears 2 so my opinion on the matter obviously doesn't count for much on that game - but based off any complaints I've heard I probably wont pick it up until they fix the glitches AND it drops a fair amount in price.
I almost rarely pay anywhere near 50 bucks for a game anymore, but I find myself enjoying them much more because of the value. I frequently find myself upset for having purchased a game at a higher price when I could have waited until it was relatively inexpensive.
I also LOVED halo 3 and I had never played any previous halo games so I'm not just some fanboy of the series. But I also picked up that game almost a year after it came out - and still enjoy playing multiplayer every once in a while.
Perception in video games (and life for that matter) can make all the difference. Purchase a bargain bin game with low expectations - you might find you enjoyed it more than you thought. Pay top dollar for a game and have high expectations - you find yourself disappointed.
Oh well rambling post over. If we do a XBA night soon I'm finally down with GoW 1!!!!

I only pay top dollar for top games. The last few games I paid $60 for were:
1.) Fallout3
2.) Left4Dead
3.) Fable2
And I paid $50 for Saints Row 2 but would have happily paid the full $60 because it's that good of a game. Just like beauty price is in the eye of the beholder. None of those games I listed have had any glitches that I have ever encountered so I'm happy with my purchases... on the other hand when I bargain bin games for waffling I usually have buyers remorse when a game is Shitty And has difficult to obtain achievements (I'm looking at you Golden Compass).

I also hate paying $60 for a game. I'd agree for the quality of the game to dictate the prices. Hell, I'd volunteer to sort that. There's only two games a year that I'll pay full price for, Madden and MLB cuz I'm such a fanboy.
I might pay full price for a game if it has a lot hype, like Gears 2, Halo 3, GTA4. But I got Halo 3 for Christmas and I'm getting Gears 2 for Christmas. GTA4 was the last game I paid $60 for. Well, actually $80 because of the special edition, but whatever.

I payed full price for Gears and Fable2. You all know what I think of Fable, so I won't go there in this thread! lol
I, for one, do enjoy Gears 2. I have NOT played online matchmaking. It doesn't appeal to me. I know the first one had so many Godd@jgohje FFFFuildfv;owv;oj eihvkdflkvjdl!S that I can only imagine that the asshole population has increased! Fuck that.
That means that since that facet of the game doesn't appeal to me, I have allowed myself to be ripped off. That is 1/5 of the game that I don't enjoy, but I only have myself to blame for paying full price.
If you want your money's worth out of a game, I payed $30 for the Orange box! 5 games in one! They are actually GOOD games too!! I wish we saw more value in our discs the way Valve did it!

As may of my friends state: "The Shitty Game is Broken". I plan on selling it back to Gamestop and getting me Smackdown vs Raw 2009!
