Buggiest Game Ever

[Devil's Due]

Big Rig Truckers I believe that's its name. If you ever saw the review, you know of the horrors. Trucks fall through the bridges, leave the land, AI doesn't race you (They stay there at the start like a idiot), you can run through any thing in front of you as if it wasn't there, and there's no sound at all.

To top it off, here's our favorite quote of how the say you win..

"YOU'RE WINNER!"

Yes, I are winner.

Actually the title is "Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing", and you're totally right about how broken the game is. One of its more interesting glitches is that when you go in reverse there's no top speed, you just infinitely accelerate. There's even a YouTube video where a guy holds down the reverse key for a while and goes something like 600,000 MPH. When you let go of reverse, the truck immediately stops in place.

Dang, I knew my post wasn't the right title of the game!

Oh well, we all remember X-Plays review of it. They admitted that it wans't even going to be rated, because they can't score anything lower then a one. Ugh, I hope that game died painfully. It was a tragic event to happen to all gamers.

Tokyo Xtreme Racer 2 was so buggy that it's developer Genki actually apologized publicly to save face... even though it was topping sales charts in Japan for a while.

By law that should not be considered a game. It should also be a sin and offense to mention that accursed name anywhere...same goes for E.T..

Neverwinter Nights had to be pretty buggy up until the first major patch - clipping through surfaces, objects you couldn't interact with, and a bunch of partner pathing effects were really rough to deal with. Thankfully, the developers were on top of things.

I'd honestly say MMOs are the most susceptible to bugs, as they have to support a large playerbase and balance classes among a bunch of users who frankly are going to be paying for testing in some form or fashion.

I believe the current record-holder (in its weight class) is TakeTwo's original release of Battlecruiser 3000, which was rushed out the door in effort to get a shot at the Christmas market in a pathetic, pre-beta state. Eventually it was finished properly, and even released as a free download to prove that it was worth the wait, but never saw the success it might have deserved.

I bought the proper, final version and liked it. I feel sorry for the folks who had the original release foisted upon them.

But for me? Oblivion on the PC. It crashed, on average, every ten minutes- and this isn't even considering the legion of non-fatal bugs the devs left in and never bothered to patch. It's utterly shameful that one of the most popular mods is the "Unofficial Oblivion Patch".

MTW2 is buggy? I never heard that. I believe you, but I never encounted one bug, and I've played the hell out of that game. Well, one text error actually. Not really a bug though.

And Mercenaries 2 is the buggiest game ever. Seriously. Look it up. At any one time you're playing you're encountering atleast 2 glitches at a time. Every single bit of the game is prone to glitching. Depending on how bad whatever you're running it on is. Apparently some xboxs are more prone to glitches, my friend literally could not play the game on his xbox, and it was a known fact that his has glitches/freezes more often. He got a new xbox after that, and the game was fine. Well not fine, but actually playable.

I am sorry master. I shall never speak of the name Big Rigs agai-...

... Dang it, not again! Anyways, yeah it's so awful that it should have never been published, let alone made!

Buggiest game is Half-Life 2 when 500 pellets come from your shotgun and the gravity is 10

Ghost recon advanced war fighter2's co-op missions.

Oblivion for the Xbox 360. Aside from the game-breaking glitches listed above, I learned to save VERY often because it tended to crash a LOT. As in, freeze in the middle of the game and the ONLY way to start it up again was to hold down the power button on the console. I still played the shit out of that game, but it froze on my Xbox and my roommate's Xbox almost every time it was played.

Ghost Recon 2 for the xbox. Fun as hell and the most broken game I have played.

GRAW was worse I would say with all the bugs like hearing a heli (and seeing the shadow) and not seeing it. Or not being able to advance because it wouldn't trigger an event.

 

[SimuLord]

Let's leave aside games like Big Rigs and focus on games that the developers actually put effort into that still came out buggy as hell.

In that vein I nominate Darklands and Daggerfall.

EDIT: I notice that Daggerfall is now the third Elder Scrolls game to be mentioned in this thread---anyone know if Arena was a buggy mess too? It'd be interesting to see Bethsoft hit for the cycle.

Giants: Citizen Kabuto...

I'm not sure if anyone else has ever played this game but on my original PC it took a minor miracle to get that game working. Sound glitches, video glitches, saving glitches, random crashes, you name it that game had it.

 

[buckythefly]

Yeah I hated Mormon Trombone Wrestling 2 as well. The first one was much better.

Epic, Epic, Epic, You should take Chuck Norris's title as most well groomed human being of all time.

Personally, it was a game called rEVOlution Sci-Fi with system shock trappings, about bionic something or others...game was so incredibly made from fail you had to cheat to beat the second level because the code was flawed and wouldn't let you exit the level. Alternately the game had so many sound glitches half the time you fired your pistol it wouldn't even make a sound.

 

[Sword and Shields]

Two Worlds.

Practically Unplayable.

agreed. That game was horrible.

 

[Johnny Ringo]

Star Wars: Podracer.

There were many instances of me literally falling through the floor because I boosted to soon. Literally unplayable for any lengthy duration of time.

 

[Jobz]

Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines.

Even with all the patches it's still buggy as hell. Trying playing it without them, it's horrifying.

Half Life 2, given that you have the PC version and have the console enabled, and don't really know what you're doing.

It might just be my computer (which sucks massive scrotum sacks), but here it goes anyway.
Increase the gravity gun's max mass to something around 900000001, pick up a jeep with said gravity gun, and watch the magic.
