Games that break easily

[Whitefeather]

I'm playing Midnight Club LA and there was a mission just before the endgame that required me to escape the police after a race. Problem was, I was on a motorcycle and crashed, which gets you arrested. I think the chase was a core part of the game progression, because now I can't continue the mission I was on and can't unlock all the best goodies in the game without starting all over again. I've had things like this happen a few other times, but it seems to bug me way more than other people. Thoughts?

Red Dead Redemption. I couldn't leave town without the pause menu turning invisible, wolves teleporting, my horse freezing, and me falling through the ground after getting stuck.

GTA IV

Nearing the end of the game, I had to buy another copy because as soon as I did a certain mission, the game would basically crash. Textures were a mess, roads disappeared, etc. This would go on for a minute or so before it would just freeze up completely.

Just to be clear, no I didn't do this.

Big Rigs Over the Road Racing. You can, by driving backwards, hit unlimited speed. You can drive over the mountains.

Well, in Kotor 2 I got to coruscant..(w/e place that was very crime ridden. Ran by the exchange.) and after plowing through it, a few guys go onto my ship because there peeved I took there spot. I kill them leave, and the cutscene of them entering plays again...wait what? I go back into the ship, and all my party members are gone, and the ships doors are all closed, and I can't leave.

The bugs in Kotor 2 really stopped me from really liking it. Even it played perfectly it wouldn't of even come near Kotor, but it aleast would have been...idk an 8/10?

The one that I can think of is back when Twilight Princess came out and the glitch in the cannon room was not yet really mentioned much. Basically if you save in there the person who you must talk to so that you could leave the room and continue disappears making it so that you have to start over completely.

Sounds like Nar Shadaa. I had a problem at the same point. See, during the fight, my character took one too many lazers to the face and went down. Then right after the fight, another, completely unrelated cutscene was triggered that had just my character. Since he was a little dead at the time, the game got stuck in a loop of game over/ reboot last auto-save. I had to go back about an hour to an older save point and do it all over again.

Anything made by Obsidian ever? Also Fallout 3, I don't know how the console guys played it without the console commands to ressurect NPCs who had randomly fallen to their death. Goddamn it Walter are you dead again?

Gawd, when I played Oblivion I ran into quite a few gamebreaking glitches. Overall I didnt really like the game anyways.

New fucking Vegas.

I've had NPCs disappear, enemies glitch in and out of terrain, graphical fuck ups and infinity random crashes.

I'm also on my third playthrough clocking in well over 100 hours.

I also managed to break Dead Space 2 into becoming functionally impossible unless you're a Visceral employee but that was through poor forward thinking on my part, nothing to do with the game. I think.

In Metal Gear Solid 4 I found the loading screen of doom... it never stops loading!

All of them. Discs aren't the most durable method of carrying data.

Nah, its not broken, its just buffering for the next four hours of cutscenes.

I used to be able to freeze Mana Khemia on my PSP like none-other.

It was a great game, but suffered so much lag considering its level of graphic involvement. C'mon, they were sprites. And they lagged like they were an '05 midrange comp trying to run Crysis. That's sad. =[

Oblivion. Got to final mission, finished it, and game decides to say "Fuck you" and instantly dies. Got a new copy and I found myself standing one hundred feet beneth the floor.
