Buggiest Game Ever

[Lukeje]

I've personally had problems with: Oblivion, The Orange Box and Mass Effect.

Oblivion often has trouble acknowledging that I've fufilled certain objectives and, for some strange reason, has every weapon shop in the world closed and locked even at midday.

The Orange Box largely has trouble with me when I play Half Life 2 and it's spawn (yes, I dislike Valve and their games). I frequently have situations where a vital NPC will disappear (most notably, Farther Grigori at the end of Ravenholm) meaning that I'm stuck at one of their thrice cursed 'gates' because I can't open the damn thing myself (it would appear that Gordan doesn't have poseable thumbs).

Mass effect has issues with Shepard getting stuck on terrain meaning that I cannot escape or otherwise move anywhere leaving with no choice but to load a previous game (I once lost an hour and a half of progress because of this).

For clarification, is this on PC or XBox? And if PC, do you have all the latest patches for both the game and your hardware?

All three of the games I detailed were the Xbox versions, any suggestions as to what is wrong/solutions?

Surprises me that nobody has mentioned the S.T.A.L.K.E.R games yet.

Just to mention how buggy they are - Clear Sky had 4 patches released in less than 25 days...

Oh God don't remind me! They have released so many patches and fixed none of my problems. I can only hope Clear Skies is doing better than the first.

I made a game once, and it sucked for that very reason.

Anyways, Ghost Recon AW. The first time it would be impossible to get the rocket launcher and destroy the tank on the second level. Eventually they released a patch to fix it. Now I can't even control my squad members and sometimes events wouldn't occur when they were suppose to. I can't get through that game because of all the bugs.

This will break your mind just watching it. Watch as Pokecapn and his crew turn from optimists to psychopathic killers.

Cutthroats: Terror on the High Seas

Alright, it will never win the 'Most Bugs Evar' award, but it's still pretty darn buggy. Also, it's pretty darn fun. The only pirate game, alongside with Sid Meier's Pirates!, that actually makes you feel all piratey, without having to have magical elements.

Daikatana.

I watched a Lets Play of it. At one point, a cutscene occurred that was supposed to open a door for the player to get on with the level. After the scene ended, the door was still shut and it was impossible to progress.

Seriously, the players had to no-clip through the wall to move on.

Also, how many other games do you know have the no-clip option shortcut keyed by default? Ion Storm obviously knew what a buggy piece of shit their game was.

Oh, John Romero. You fail so hard.

ETA: Eek, accidental double post. Sorry, ya'll.

Oh god, that LP. Those poor guys. D: Didn't they calculate how much of their LP was loading screens? It was over 10% if I remember right. Oh, poor pokecapn. AND THE ELISE/SONIC MOMENT, WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT? :weeps:

"YOU'RE WINNER!"

That's all of a sudden my new favorite game quote.

 

[Fightbulb]

Saints Row 1. Apparently if you delete any of the DLC you may have downloaded for the game, it corrupts your save, and makes you start over again, naked, and with a transparant, uh...crotchal region.

Seriously. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V97ypQS5WJM]

The most buggy games I've played were LoZ:OoT and Baldurs Gate, both for Gamecube. (Neither were really buggy, but the thread...)
In LoZ there were several times when Epona fell through the earth never to be seen again, until you restarted from the previous save. Baldurs Gate had many, many times where I fell to my death but didn't die; I was able to run around my blood splatter in the poisonous fog for a few minutes until I jumped and died when I landed.

Deadly Creatures for the Wii.

...what do you mean not that type of bugs?

 

[GloatingSwine]

It's good to see this thread back just when I was thinking about finding it again to point out that Bethesda strike again, and Fallout is nigh on comprehensively broken in almost every way imaginable, whether it's the stupid scripting that turns Arefu hostile, bugging out Paradise Falls so you can't complete Rescue from Paradise, crashing when you go to the Jefferson Memorial so you can never complete the main quest, or any one of a hundred other stupid ways you can break the game.

 

[Steeveeo]

Daggerfall, probably not the buggiest game ever, but its definitely up down there.

Also World in Conflict, definitely not the buggiest game, but I thought I should voice my experience that, no matter WHICH hardware setup I play it on, or WHICH patch I play it from, its never stable enough to play for more than an hour at a time, unpatched only about 10 minutes before BSOD.

Most buggiest game for me was NFS Most Wanted, always at the end of most of the races id hit some invisible wall and and would have to restart the race. Dont know if im the only one who has faced that, but nearly doubled the time i had to play MW.

 

[JBarracudaL]

Big Rigs has to be the buggiest game ever.

Star Wars the Force Unleashed for me

 

[Kurt Horsting]

broken, but still a fun and awesome game. Marvel vs Capcom 2.

 

[hippieshopper]

I don't know if spelling errors count as bugs/glitches because then you could say Final Fantasy VII was really bad.

This guy are sick... Off course!

vampire the masquerade bloodlines was unplayable until its 14th non-official patch 4 years later.
