Biggest Game Breaking Glitches

When I first played Final Fantasy VIII on the PC years ago, it was the first FF game I'd ever played and basically the first JRPG I'd ever played, so I wasn't familiar with the menus, items, monetary system, etc. When I loaded up the game for the first time and went in to inspect the inventory screens at the very beginning, I noticed I had an arbitray, yet oddly high amount of money, something like 99748963, Gil and TONS of items; hell, I didn't know, I just figured stuff would be REALLY expensive in the game shops and I'd be popping helth potions like Skittles... I played through for several hours, and at a certain point, the game crashed. No biggie, reloaded my save, but at the EXACT same point, it crashed again. After several tries and it crashing at the exact same point, I finally broke down and called tech support for the game. They asked me if anything else had gone wrong prior to the crashes, and the only thing I could think that might have been odd was the money and items thing upon which they told me this was a rare problem, but fixable... I'd just have to delete the game and re-install it. About 6-7 hours of play time down the tubes.
In Dark Cloud there's a glitch (VERY early on) to obtain an attachment version of your default weapon, the broken dagger very easily by fiddling with the shop in the first town.
Now in Dark Cloud, you level up weapons instead of characters. You do this by attaching gems etc. to your weapons, which then fuse with the attachments when they level up. When certain stat minimums are reached, a weapon can be upgraded to a new weapon with higher max stats.
Now, attaching a broken dagger to any weapon would max out ALL stats on a weapon. So to make a weapon its absolute most powerful you'd only need to level it up like half a dozen times (once for each max stat upgrade), as opposed to like 50+ times, and you'd also never need any attachments, allowing you to sell ALL of them for tons of gil.
Likewise in Dark Cloud 2 you could make infinite copies of certain fishing bait by fiddling with the menu screen in a specific way, which you can then sell for easy unlimited gil.

Underhell, a Source mod whom I worship, did not like my computer.
At all.
The sound would suddenly turn into a very, VERY loud electic squeak, player models disappeared (so the only thing was floating guns), and suddenly lines appeared everywhere. Grid-lines, lines that my gun made to track where the bullet would hit...
Then it crashed, said the display cards hated the game (and turned my computer screen into a jumble of colors).
A restart would fix the computer screen from being ass, but what fixed the game was actually changing the games resolution.
Computers, I will never understand you fully.

This. Bloddy (harhar) hell I'd just plowed through an entire chapter, of the inquisition, took down the big douche that led them and he pulled the good old climax : a time bomb, where you have to run like it's Metroid all over again, when suddently I get to the escape boat and get blackscreened.

And that was not "not very far", that was whe I was 100% hooked into the story and would've give my right arm to keep playing.
Also, Darksiders. Which is a game that thinks that if you've got an nVidia card, you're not worthy playing it unless you can tweak the exe yourself. I don't think the devs ever released a patch for this one.
I was playing the Fallout 3 Mothership Zeta DLC. This was right at the beginning of the DLC. There was an NPC that was supposed to be there, but she didn't spawn. She needed to be there to progress, so I was pretty much stuck. I suppose the rational thing would be to reload a save, but it was broken when I tried it again.
The last update for Fallout: New Vegas added that damned fade-to-black-infinite-loop-till-you're-dead glitch has made it so that I litterally cannot play the game anymore. It's been a month and Obsidian still has not fixed this.
