Name the Buggiest Game you ever played

lessley00

Im sure many would say STO but I hugely disagree, its SWTOR where in STO you have to look for these bugs that hardly interfere with how you play whereas in SWTOR they are EVERYWHERE!

bioixi

Any Bethesda game.

gradii

Goat Simulator? Champions Online?

markhawkman

Diablo 2.

So many different ways things could be messed up too... From OP enemy skills to messed up maps.... it's a long list.

I mean bioware knows how to make a good game with a story 100 times better than star trek online (Mass Effect) though Star Wars the Old Republic as a free-to-play player is second to hell, you have to pay real money for just about everything and the bugs! oh the bugs!. Truthfully, im glad to return to STO as things are so much simpler

Never mind... I thought it said Biggest.
Too early in the day for my reading skills to be functional.

Saint's Row the Third.

Dang thing freezes when I try to do some of the DLC content, and even every once in a while just running around.

Mmmmm... probably LEGO: Universe.

I still wish it were still going, though. Best MMO I've ever played.

warmaker001b

Diablo I. The issues and worse, the cheats going on online. The fact of the matter was that it was harder to find someone that WASN'T cheating.

LEGO Rock Raiders. Phenomenally stupid AI (no, don't cut the corner across lava, you dumbass!), mining with drilling lasers is borderline useless on most levels, and the first-person controls for the Chrome Crusher are glitchy.

Star Citizen, but then again, that is in alpha which is to be expected.

Star Trek Online (pre-Season One). There were a lot of bugs at release. So many I actually stopped playing until Season Three!

Other than that... I don't know, I usually don't get games until they've been patched out of bugs.

Oh, actually, WWE SvR 2011. I remember quite a few bugs in that game on PS2 (yes, I still have a PS2).

rattler2

I got you beat ryan. I still have a working SNES!

from what i've seen so far, star citizen's alpha is far more polished than many recent game's release states even after patches

granted, i haven't been looking too closely lately, so maybe the ones actually playing the alpha are seeing things i'm not​​

Bugged is a very tough one. I mostly play older games and the newer ones I play all seem to work rather smooth for me (take Arkham Knight as a good example: I'm a PC gamer only, and I had absolutely 0 of the reported issues with that game. Only had one thing, and that was a blast while playing it).

I only ever took part in one Closed Alpha (Total War: Arena) and that had mostly balance issues, not bugs so much. When Beta-testing it mostly was STO (found quite a few on Tribble, reported them, never saw them on Holodeck).

So it will probably still be STO (as the only MMO I play this has the most changing gaming code leading to the biggest bug potential). And that is a relief, seeing I don't really have a big issue with the bugs in STO (except Defera, but Defera is Defera and we all learned to live with it).

The first Crysis on the PC. So many bugs I just gave up trying to patch them and work around them, and it's a pity because when it was working it was a very good game. I t was so bad for me that for a long time it put me off trying the other Crysis games.​​

legendarylycan

i've played crysis a couple times now, and i never noticed any bugs...i did however notice the part of the game with the alien flash-freeze where you had to dash from heat source to heat source was the biggest frakking PITA to get through, however​​

This game was literally unplayable--it could not recognize that you had completed a race, the A.I. racers did not even leave the starting line (a later patch made them race around the track but stop just short of the finish line), and the physics were completely broken. Also, when driving in reverse you could accelerate exponentially without limit until the game crashes at a speed equivalent to about one hundred quintillion light years per second.

legendarylycan

that's...pretty damn impressive that a game can calculate that high before crashing

most other games have far lower limits to their various numbers and maths​​

lilchibiclari

The number in question was, I think, the overflow value for a 128-bit integer.

Heh...
I still have my Original NES with 12 working cartridges and two working controllers.
My SNES with 15 working cart's. and one working controller.
The N-64 with 8 cart's and one working controller.
And the Original Gameboy with two working games.
All packed away in a big rubber maid box.

None of which I have fiddled with in several years.

Buggiest game I've played...

Sonic 06.

comrademoco

GTA IV pc, anyone?

Of non-STO games...there was a fun one I played way back when, but because the bug could be so game-breaking if the player got caught in it that I'm going to list it here. You will either know it as Twinsen's Odyssey or Little Big Adventure 2. And if you ever played it, you probably guessed pretty quickly that I'm talking about the "hit loop" bug. That is, once an enemy hit you once, it froze your character to where you couldn't run or defend yourself, and they could keep doing it ad infinitum until you died. There was not supposed to be any kind of hold or stun on the great majority of the weapons, so this was clearly not WAI. This made a particular prison break your character had to do darned near impossible unless you timed the run exactly right. (Now, occasionally you could trap NPC's in the same loop, but the effect on the player was pretty awful.)

And I didn't know it at the time, but apparently there was a major bug in the player's favor, where if you jumped and hit "save," you could get into areas you weren't supposed to be able to go because your character would execute another jump midair and get much more range than they should have had.

Also, Neverwinter Nights 2. Even these days, ten years or so after it came out, it's still a resource hog, and there's this weird bug where you start walking and then rubberband back to where you started. Also I'm having some "missing art" issues with the dialog boxes. Usually the final build of a Bugsidian game is a lot better than this, but unfortunately the bugfixes got derailed when Wizards sued Atari over license issues a few years back.

Still an awesomely fun RPG despite the bugs.

definitely; i actually reinstalled it a few months ago because of nostalgia...had some issues patching it up though because the site where the auto-updater got its patches from is no longer operational, and manual patching is a TRIBBLE with this particular game, especially if you have the expansions like i do

once i got everything set up properly though, the first thing i noticed on getting into the game...it has remarkably good models, textures and FX for being a game released in 2006 - hell, some of them better than neverwinter online, which is really embarrassing​​

Baldur's Gate: Shadow of Amn, plus its extension pack. I loved that game, its predecessor too, but effing hell the number of completely game breaking bugs, inane workarounds and patches that only broke stuff worse. *shudder*. When it worked as it should it was brilliant, unfortunately that was only some 40% of the time.

A honorable mention even if it isn't bugged but it still sucks : Star Trek : 25th Anniversary PC game.

If any one says they have beaten the 2nd Enterprise, your a fibber. Cause your weapons go first then the shields. Then boom. Your dead. Thanks Interplay.

Oh don't remind me of that terror ship. That thing drove me insane. Always prefered Judgement Rites over 25th.
