I was playing Tony Hawks 1 on my PS1 years ago, and I jumped, did a trick, and landed on the edge of the bowl. The game glitched at that point, and I could only rotate, and there was no way to get off.
Whats the wierdest glitch that has ever happend to you in a game?
- Thread starter pleb
- Start date
My personal favorite was in Ratchet & Clank 2 When I was playing a cage match in the arena and fell through the wall of the cage, I was then free to run around on the walls of the arena listening to the sounds of my opponents getting killed by flame stones and whatnot. Once they were all defeated, everything went back to normal.
In Turok back on the N64 we found a great multiplayer glitch. If you stood in front of a teleporter with barely any health and then got blown through it by a rocket or such, you would come out of the other side with 0 health, but still be alive. And now you were invincible.
Another one was on the old GTA, when playing on a LAN we found a glitch where if you got knocked of your motorbike while still firing (or something similar, it was a while ago) the bike would stay standing. And if after that the bike got blown up you would die even if you were no where near. We turned this into a great mini-game. One player hid his bike somewhere, and then had to prevent the other player from finding it. However that player was only allowed to kill the player by destroying the bike and wasn't allowed to shoot the defender.

I can imagine that... as for me i've had several.CarrierII said:
Oblivion on the 360: Snuck into a guys house in the imperial city and his butler kept talking to me after i left the conversion (this kept going for about 2 minutes). another glitch in the same city: Walked over to the Mystic Emporium (Spell Shop) and the front door was locked at Noon!
Bioshock: During a scene in which your powers get all screwy (for those of you who think this is a spoiler fear not that's as far as I'm going) the screen gets choppy.
Army of Two: on the Aircraft Carrier leve, I'm taken down and needing healing. my-oh-so "clever" A.I. partner decides to heal me in the open. the afghanistan level: again taken down. But i'm in a perfectly safe area and my partner drags me in the open again to heal me!
I was playing S.T.A.L.K.E.R. and I quicksaved my game while I was taking cover during a fight. I was killed, I reloaded, and now I was suddenly stuck inside the cover unable to move. I got lazy about saving in multiple slots so I had to load one from quite a while before and do it all over again.
Fallout 2. The trunk of my car following me around, while the front half of the car did not.
World of WarCraft: Awhile back when I had an ATI card, occasionally (prob less than 10%) when I logged in - I have NO idea why but I could run a good bit faster than everyone else. My whole game client ran faster. Timers on buffs would count down faster than they should. While this did not affect my global cool down or cast or attack times, I could still run faster. I could keep up with epic mounts on a normal mount, or leave them in the dust on my epic. GMs were unable to find the cause, so I promised when it happened I'd reload until it was normal, which is did. After changing to an NVIDIA card, it hasn't occured again.
Grand Theft Auto: Not entirely sure if it's a glitch, but I assume it is. But sometimes when I would beat the piss outta the guy leading those chanting groups of "GOURANGA!" guys and then ran around and bumped into the second guy they'd all then follow me around, still chanting.

My old roommate was playing what I believe was X-Men: Legends or something (it's been a while). He was going after an item in some out-of-the-way back corner because he needed to get every item in the game. The puzzle for reaching the item required a specific combination of characters and their powers (again, I forget the details. I think you needed someone to fly Nightcrawler someplace and teleport both of them). Enroute to the item one of the characters inexplicably fell through the floor and died. This led to another hour of us intentionally trying to make characters fall through solid walls and floors. Fun was had.
Had my fair share of fun with that one. Believe it was Ctrl you had to hold down ..lokust2001 said:
GTA SA for the ps2 where when on a mountain bike, one could hold down square and keep pedaling, the characters legs would get warped and stretched. Also some of the npcs sometimes spawned as mirror images of my character.
Oblivion dupe glitch on the 360, filled up the tub in the back of the secret basement of the haunted house, the one you can buy for 5000 gold, with potions. Touching the potions was a bad idea, since that made the game lag like hell.
Raibow Six Vegas shield teleport glitch. Enabled the host to teleport around the map after some fiddling with the shield and the cover system. Not to forget the seldom but annoying invincible terrorists in t-hunt.
THUG i was just free skate'ing and ollie'd and suddenly i'm riding along, i can grind, i can manual, but ....
my character was floating like he was on foot, standing still, and his skateboard was sideways, not under his arm, but through his crotch and out his butt.
I got off the skateboard, and everything was fine, he was running like he should, jumping, holding on to ledges, etc.
then i get on the board again and the glitch came back, with the crotchboard. i also noticed that when i spine'd a ramp, i went through the bottom of the map, and kept falling.

My two biggest; GTA Vice City, I was trying to get a bike inside a building which I?m sure I managed once or twice by pushing the bike so far into the doorway in front of me that the game loaded inside the club. One time however I tried to exit the club and just passed straight out of the door. The floor was made up of all the tiles of the club and the character got stuck in invisible objects which I assume is where buildings were.
Secondly, Assassins Creed. I?d just dived into some hay to escape some bad guys and they ran round the corner and stopped. They stopped looking for me and started to head back to where they came. That?s when one of them went from the ground to the roof of a two story building in a single jump animation. His friend did exactly the same thing and they both jumped off the building with the same animation. Funny stuff.

Best glitch ever. NWN2 died as soon as I cast Polymorph Self and got stuck as a polymorphed Mindflayer. Played a good 70-80% of the first chapter as him (convos usually knock you out of polymorph, which was why it was so fun!)

Vice City- The in-game cutscenes can really be used to your advantage. I managed to drive a Cadillac straight through the scene, killing the guy I was supposed to take down anyway.
Oblivion- Not all that high on the weirdness scale, but I was running around the Imperial City with a detect life spell on. Suddenly, I noticed that there was someone *under* the street. Curious, I turned on noclip and walked through the pavement to find a guard treading water underneath the map. When I tried to talk to him, my fame was high enough so that I got a response like "Oh, I know who *you* are..." I was rather off-put by the fact that the guard living under the street sounded like a crazy stalker.
Oh, and Lucien Lachance once spoiled a big dramatic scene by appearing one night in my character's room, half-way through a cupboard. Rather ruined the effect, especially when he tried to leave.

I had that too! In fact the horse seems to glitch quite a bit. I have a save game that has a picture of it standing ontop of a tent leaning back on 50 degree angle.Katana314 said:
The best glitch would have to be on Perfect Dark Zero when the enemy weight seems to be set to zero upon their death. You can watch in amazement as their corpse floats and flips in the breeze like a bit of paper. I was playing coop and the body blew off my screen and moments later I see the shadow of the floating body appear on my brother's screen. Simply astounding.
I can agree with Assassin's Creed having its share of interesting bugs... in one of the "real" segments, the assistant woman didn't show up, but her voice did, leading to me being irreparably locked in my little bedroom. Also sometimes you will go to Informant points and see no informant... but the voice is there and so is the mission. Lots of fun... wonder if the guards notice the guy in the hood over by the cart talking to himself?
i can think of two, both played in Halo 3
first i was in a warthog driving quite slowly and my pal ran towards me only to get violently splattered at 5mph
second is when a chopper started randomly humping the wall for no reason as far as i could see, so i threw in a mongoose just for fun....

Worst game for glitches ever: Neopets: The Darkest Faerie. Maybe its just my little brother's copy, but this Ocarina of Time knockoff has too many glitches in that game to count, notably that nearly every boss will sometimes flee battle from either running through walls or just disappearing.
For instance, i'm getting ready to finish off this large plant thing. I run to the side as it slams its head into the ground, but instead of lying there like a good...thing...and waiting for its beat down, it glitches through the floor leaving me to have to reset the game for another go around.
