Ah yes, red dead redemption, good times, I actually got this wierd glitch where after one of the first mexico missions( I forget which one, but it was one of the early ones) it somehow skipped every mission up to the point where you go back to your ranch to see your family, the map marker just disappeared for a second, and then BAM, there was an A marker on my map,newuseforvintage said:

Arcanum was remarkably buggy. Got patched, both unofficially and officially, so now it just has borked balance.
And yet, it's a completely amazing game. Can't speak for Fallout, not a fan. Not to say any of the games are bad as such, they just fall into that rather broad category of games that I recognize as good, but don't enjoy/get offensive a few times too often for my liking. I'm a rather silly person, yes.
You know, come to think of it, every release of Dwarf Fortress tends to be rather buggy. Like that time when crocodiles suddenly started a civilization of their own, spammed everyone with textile exports and eventually took over two thirds of the world. CROCODILES.
Edit: I suppose Big Rigs ahs already been mentioned?

On Fable 3: There are many. The quest trails don't just point you in the opposite direction. I had once point me into Brightwall Academy, then when I got inside it pointed me out, and then in again.Judgement101 said:
Also, even though I ripped the game to my hard drive, loading times are just as long or longer than without it being on my hard drive. Next, there are the slowed down pockets that appear randomly; I'm walking with nobody in sight and then I just slow down and my guy gets twitchy trying to break free.
But what I'm surprised about is that none of the three of you have experienced the infamous Jasper glitch. It happens randomly and nobody has pin pointed why it happens; Jasper just goes silent. He stops talking period unless a certain quests pertain him too. When I got halfway through the game I got the glitch, and he hasn't talked at all in the past 20 hours of game play.
This Jasper glitch if it hits at the right time, can be a game breaker. The break occurs when you are in the Brightwall Academy basement temple thing, when Jasper is trying to teach you about the switches and what weapon to use on it. I heard several accounts of this happening there at the gun switch, the people went back to the sanctuary, Jasper was silent, and when they went to the armory, the guns and all other weapons had disappeared and couldn't be accessed. These people had to start a new game.
Of course there is no explanation from Lionhead on whether they will fix it. They better, I want my Jasper back. One of the reasons I bought the game is because he is voiced by John Cleese.
Sorry double post, why the heck does my computer not register that the site took my post the first time?
Gears of War online, being consistently shot by people who had glitched through the level.
Fable 2's breadcrumb trail leading me in endless circles.
Medal of Honor 2010, trying to find where the spot that triggers the next long cut scene is very annoying, it's on the HUD but you have to hit the pixel sometimes it's so fussy and breaks up the flow.
I've about 20 hours of New Vegas and after hitting the Xbox Guide button it froze for 10 seconds and then carried on... that's all that's happened. I'm at the stage where half the fear and atmosphere is waiting to see if it crashes out in the wastes a long way between saves!
Slightly off topic, sometimes it's the "FEATURES" that are the really annoying things. Worst for me was Silent Hill Homecoming not having an invert Y axis. Cue 20 mins of looking at the floor, ceiling, floor, dead. Things like that astound me in this day and age.

It makes me wonder if they had anybody testing the game before they released it.Vigor Mortivore said:
Have you encountered the Jasper glitch? My poor butler, he is mute and most likely will never speak again.
That sounds amazingCogwheel said:
OT: I haven't actually played a game with bad bugs. My Oblivion actually works completely fine, and I got it on release day, and my computer's specs barely even reached minimum. Same with Fallout 3 and Fable 2. But it could just be me.
I have watched the video for Big Rigs, so I know that's buggy. But pretty much every other game mentioned I have either not played or not found bugs with them.
Wait...No...PLEASE...*Sonic the Hedgehog 06 found its way out*
Pool of Radiance: Ruins of Myth Danor. A special mention because it was terrible bugged, and the uninstall was bugged badly enough that if used it could DELETE YOUR HARD DRIVE. While many bugs are bad, most only ruin the game, not have the ability to brick your computer.
Fallout 2. Anything involving the car was a nightmare, the patch only fixed 1/3rd the problems, and invalidated old saves. I am still mad about that.
Anything Troika made, full stop. A great studio that made a 'who's who' of ambitious, fun, and amazingly unfinished games. Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura, The Temple of Elemental Evil and Vampire: The Masquerade ? Bloodlines.
X-Com. Great game, when shipped only the beginner difficulty worked. Thankfully, it was so hard that beginner was just about right for hardcore players, and everyone else ended up wheaping in a corner mumbling about Chyssailds.

I'm genuinely quite shocked that Mercenaries 2: World In Flames hasn't been mentioned... unless this thread is aimed at PC games?
The main one is when your base, the PMC, it looks like you're holding a gun but it's not there. Then there's the really weird one where you're driving down the road and all the cars at the edge of your vision are getting blown out the way like an invisible hurricane is tearing through, clearing a path.
Playing online with a pal, I've had glitches not letting us get in the same vehicle, and I would apparently disappear at times from his screen. Funny, yes, but playing Marco Polo down the mic grates pretty quickly.
I've never experienced glitches with any Fallout games, just very minor occasions where the graphics would hang mid-fight.

The Jasper glitch/bug is very common.Sonic Doctor said:
I have around 8 friends playing this game and there's not 1 of them with a talking butler.
The frame rate issues regarding Fable 3 are unforgivable, just the same as above stated fact.
People already forgot how buggy
5. Battlefield 2142
4. Medal of Honor
3. Bad Company 2
2. STALKER: Clear Sky
1. STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl
was?
Also, I played New Vegas for over 20 hours without a single crash or noticeable bug (meaning if there was one I didn't notice it), and therefore can simply not understand what everyone is complaining about (and I did get it on release day). Fallout 3 never crashed once for me, and that is on my very unstable and emotional PC. Same story for Oblivion, though in Oblivion the retarded NPC behavior did annoy me at times =p.
