KOTOR 1 on the PC before they put out the patch. Great game, crashed all the time. Even with the patch it was bad. Not as bad, but still bad enough to piss me off something awful. If it was not as awesome I would have stopped paying it in the first 5 minutes.
Well it obvious Big Rigs wins. I think PAC-MAN for the 2600 is worth a mention though for its blinking ghosts.

I got hit by that doozy. It was horrible!!
Though I'd have to say X-men 2 Wolverines revenge OR Ubersoldier

That's only because the thread's full of whippersnappers who don't remember how Daggerfall, as shipped in boxes, was so completely broken that the main questline could not under any circumstances be finished because a required NPC did not spawn. Also, whilst this didn't matter at the time, playing it on anything faster than a 486 meant that without complete magic resistance or cheating you would inevitably die to every caster from about level 10 upwards, because there was no delay for enemy spellcasters, and no mana limit, meaning they hit you with hundreds of spells per second (Depending on the speed of your processor).SimuLord post=9.73431.795867 said:
Frontier: First Encounters was also a bug-raddled monstrosity, to the extent that they had to rerelease the game with the patches on a floppy in the box, and took out full page ads in the gaming press of the time apologising for what a mess it was.
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...

I am gonna be one of thos smug gits who steps in and says
MTW2, are you kidding my copy plus expansion pack works perfectly. Mind you you do know that it's 'buggyness' as you describe it is more than likely down to the Securom anti piracy software it installs. Remember reading a bout people who had installed other Securom protected games; Bioshock, STALKER, Spore etc having problems getting other Securom games to install, patch update and run in general.
I also notice a lot of folk saying Oblivion, lol that's another game I never had any problems with.
Stalker on the other hand, BSOD every time you moved between areas, turned out to be a conflict with Nvida's new memory leak fixed drivers for the 8series GPUs. I have to run year old drivers to get the game to work. I also read about Clear Sky and it's serious bug issues so I am still thinking about weather to purchase that game or not.
Gmod can be twitchy as well, especially since it allows any old crap created by any triple thumbed goon to run on it, right up until it locks up and goes off for a coffee and fag break.

I had a huge problem with Bioshock, mostly the fact that it was complete and total tramp pants. Does that count as a bug?
Urgh, that game was horrible until they fixed that memory leak. I didn't have any problems after that though. On the plus side, that was my first time seeing a memory leak in action, so much like the first time I had a case fan die on me and got to see how weird a computer acts when it starts to overheat slightly, it was a good learning experience.axia777 post=9.73431.805272 said:
not sure if it was buggy as much as a pile of crap, at least it showed everyone who the real talent at id was and it wasn't RomeroTOGSolid post=9.73431.796113 said:
yeah Big Rigs was pretty bad, it's one of the only game to not receive a score on xplay cause 1 is the lowest they can give it
as for buggy games, i'd have to say either Arena or Daggerfall. Daggerfall was released and in the first 2 months had 50+ megs worth of patches for it. comparatively Morrowind and Oblivion are pieces of coding masterpieces
The worst case of that ever happening to me was when I was looking over the capital city as the sun rose over it, getting in the mood of some free-roaming adventure. It looked beautiful. Then I tried to move, and I realised the whole thing had frozen. It took me by suprise that time, but now that I have my 1000 gamerscore I never need to touch it again.Sirisaxman post=9.73431.795856 said:
Daikatana wouldn't even install for me. Every attempt resulted in either corrupted installs or it crapping out while trying to install it no matter what rig I tried to put it on.cleverlymadeup post=9.73431.807164 said:
I've never played a game since then that was that buggy (and now I feel kinda old).
I'll have to get Big Rigs soley to witness that masterstroke train wreck and play it for laughs.
Anyone here ever played UFO:Aftershock? This game was extremly buggy. Crashed all the time or sometimes your soldiers just left all their guns at home...and startet the mission without any firepower. Yeah, great.
The buggiest game I have ever seen was/is S.T.A.L.K.E.R clear sky. It's just a short while after it's release and it's already on it's 4th or 5th patch. I had to replay the game like 7 times due to mission bugs and not being able to load saves after patch. Not to mention the artifacts that fail to appear when you're standing right over them with a top class detectors after you spent 20 minutes getting to them through radiation, fire and exploding anomalies and the ever so sweet bug fixed in the first patch that caused the grenade to stick to the players hand. However with those horrible things said about the game let me even it out. If it were any normal game, I would have thrown it out the window after the third unreloadable patch, however the gun combat, the story, the beautiful graphics, the depressing surrounding, the mutant dogs, faction wars and the fights that make crysis on hard feel like a walk in the park, more than give you reason to keep on moving.
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).

Halo 2 mp. had its share fare of glitches but most were cool. there was one where you could get knocked through a wall and your dead body would become giant and float on the top of the map
PC ports from console generally has horrible controls that simply doesn't work, and bad graphics, I guess that is far worse than most bugs.Rezfon post=9.73431.795340 said:
