hahaa, do Gearbox not have a QA department?
The reviews have made pretty amusing reading

Not just Gearbox
I can't even remember the last time I played a game that didn't have at least one blatant bug, and I haven't even played Skyrim.

I even broke one of the achievements in FTL...games are so complex now that they'll probably never be bug-free.
I've been in video game QA for the last few years and the primary concern is making sure the player can do everything without the game crashing or their save being deleted (of which some modern games still fail at).
Although from what I've been hearing today Colonial Marines is just seven shades of shit.

They do
Unfortunately, as the day has gone on it has transpired that despite Gearbox's name being on it they didn't actually work on anything other than the multiplayer elements. They decided outsourcing the single player to 3 different studios each with reputations for producing shit masquerading as games, was a good idea.
