Ok so i just started GoW3 and in my first 2 hours of play things have been a little rough. I won’t spoil anything here everything i talk about has been in trailers and the Quick look. My first glitch was after being judged by king Minos and the other guys i missed a jump and died however the check point that was set somehow made me a appear in mid air everytime just before i fell in the hole... so i would restart at last check point and instantly fall to my death. This means i had to return to my last hard save, around 20 mins i had to re-play which is ok because i needed to get used to the combat again anyway but still a bitch. Now i just beat the boss of that area and got his weapons. I wanted to save the red souls to upgrade the first new weapon i get so i went to upgrade and whenever i get to level 2 the game freezes up, im taking a break now to write this so not sure if its gona do that everytime or just 2 times i tried.  

Having said that.... Wow what a game just a pity my start has been slightly tainted by these difficulties, wondering if anyone else has been having problems. 

The only glitchy thing I ran into in GoW3 was that activating the save points was sometimes hit and miss, like I'd have to walk away from the area then go back to it in order to get the R1 prompt. I didn't experience any of the bugs you mentioned.

I finished the game a couple of hours ago, and didn't run into any bugs whatsoever. 
 
Well, aside the one where the game turned into a boring, disappointing, thoroughly mediocre mess. I ran into it when I pressed "New Game", and it didn't disappear until I had watched the credits... does anyone know if they're going to patch that?

I hit a bug in the first screen of gameplay, which was pretty ridiculous. I killed all of the enemies, and then... nothing. Just  a single area I couldn't leave or interact with anyone in. After a couple of minutes, I restarted the game, killed all the baddies again and was immediately thrown into a cutscene and was able to proceed. 
 
I've loved what I've played of the game, but it was a total bummer to hit a bug two minutes in to playing.

I haven't experienced any bugs.

No not really, the game does get boring 3 hours in. Then extremely boring about 5 hours in. "

Only two bugs that I have encountered-
 
1.  Like somebody mentioned- the R1 prompt to save would not pop up till a few seconds later.
2.  When you have to press O to grab Pandora from falling I did it in the last second.  She fell but the game kept going.  Had to restart.

No bugs yet, but anytime I play this game, the fans in my ps3 start going apeshit. The last time that happened was during U2, but that was 2 or 3 times out of the 3 times I played through it. So far this has happened everytime with GoW III, and after about 15 minutes. At this rate, I'm going to finish this game in a month. Oddly enough, I played through Dante;s Inferno a bunch and that never happened. I guess we know how much better GoW is

the only glitch my friend encountered was he got stuck on the ground during the first boss fight.

R not working properly.
 
Sound skipping, cutting out for a minute or 2 then coming back and still skipping.
 
Possibly a bad disc?

Beat the game without encountering any glitches.

i ran into these problems once or twice in gow2, mainly the button prompt showing up at doors and save points

i only got one fighting a boss he hitted me while dodging and kratos was left in his falling animation but then a small enemy hitted me and it fixed it

During the first boss battle when you go from hanging from Gaia's hand to being back on top of her hand, I got stuck in a tree or mid air, can't remember, and ended up getting killed by the boss because I wasn't able to move.

When I returned to Aphrodite's I went back for seconds... you know how it pans over to those two girls? Well, there was only one; the blonde at the back. The dialogue and everything was exactly the same, only her mouth was way outta sync and she was feeling up thin air. When she fell over at the end I nearly pissed my pants. One of the funniest glitches I've ever encountered.

I would have to say even though they are not glitches that the invisible walls are bullshit in this game and somehow feel arbitrarily placed.  I think 90% of my deaths in this game were due to this sole factor. 
as for real glitches I encountered 
 
-In Hades had the music start glitching and overlapping, then utter silence..... 
-In the first battle with Zeus, he disappeared......and never reappered....leaving me wondering wtf was gonna happen next.....but nothing did..........reboot 
-A few ragdoll glitchy moments due to invisible walls......fucking invisible walls.....
 
Not that big of a deal, but for a game that is that mainstreamed, i expected a bit more overall polish from it.

I had some camera glitchiness when running side to side in the first sequence where you face off against poseidon. As I ran to the right the camera would kinda pop or zoom in a bit, and then pop back out when I went further right (same going from right to left).

I've been having a problem with anytime you have to hold a button down.  To open chests I hold down my R1 button, but the animation kind of resets itself (i.e. he'll reach for the chest, but then stands back straight as if i removed my finger from the button).  Same goes with holding X to use my icarus wings.  I double jump but the game doesn't register that I've held the button.  I thought it might just be my controller, but when I borrowed another controller, same problems arose.  Anyone else having this trouble?

this... "

" @MoeQawama: Guess they aren't going to patch it, then... bummer. I was really looking forward to this game, too... it's like, the demo was awesome, the footage looked fantastic, and the review scores were stellar, and now that I've finally gotten my hands on the game, my entire experience is ruined by a bug that probably isn't widespread enough to warrant a patch? Man, this sucks.

It's a god of war game.  It sounds like you just plain don't like god of war, so don't play it.  The only reason I say it like that is because I find it strange that I played the same game as you, and was totally amazed, whereas you thought it was... mediocre.  I don't know what games you've been playing to call god of war 3 a mediocre mess.
