Portal 2 ended up being a very finished product at release, much more so than most games these days. All the bugfixes its had are very trivial. By comparison, Half-Life 2 needed a lot more attention post-release.

Yeah, Half-Life 2 had major bugs - the voice-over stuttering issue, the renowned AI issue, etc.

I had a friend who had to wait like a year to play it because of the constant texture hitching issue some people had.


Wait, what was the AI issue?
Vader [STAFF] [mail] May 02 2011, 04:14 am EDT
AI freezes completely. Enemies spawn and do nothing. They just stand there.
  uzmzrush: Portal 2 enemies just spawn and stand there too, ya know?
Vader: So they do.
