What, no Superman 64? No Quest 64? Well, Quest wasn't buggy, just bad...Superman 64! At least the games mentioned in the opening post were playable on the consoles. I had no crash-issues with my Fallout 3...I assume you were on a PC.
Quest 64 is a great game I loved it as a kid nad if it was ever to go on the VC I buy it in a heart beat.

That I've ever owned? Hitman: Blood Money. I usually don't buy games until they've been ragged on a bit, then I can see how bad it really is. Like how I bought Half- Life 2 last year, people weren't complaining too much, so I bought it.

Ohhh hell. Fallout 3 beats all of them. Bethesda is either an evil or lazy company. x;x;
Personally I think their geniuses. I felt the buggy glitches added a layer of depth to the Fallout and Elderscroll worlds. I almost turned them into horror games. Just waiting to see what screwed up crap you'll see next.

World of Warcraft, its been six years and their STILL patching it.
Well, I think that is due to the nature of the game to be fair. Having that many people playing the same game at one time and having expansions every now and then. (note I haven't played it, just seems to be what has to be the case sort of with MMORPGs. Do any of them NOT ever get patching and not have bugs?)

Big Rigs Over the Road Racing. You all lose.
This was my first thought as well. For those of you who didn't watch the YouTube video, Big Rigs has no functioning:

1) Collision detection (You pass through any scenery, including bridges, and you can simply fall off the map.)
2) Opponent AI (They just sit there at the starting line.)
3) Physics engine (You can fly off into the air for no reason.)

And there are even more problems with it. Worst part: this game sold more than 20,000 copies. Seriously, read up on it. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Rigs:_Over_the_Road_Racing] You'll gain new appreciation for almost any game.

There are too many yopung whippersnappers on this thread. Yeash most of this games are only a few years old. Nobody else remember the ad campaign run for Frontier: First Encounters. It was so buggy they had to appologise for it and release a bug free version some months later.

Well the entire Splinter cell series. I actually stopped buying them because TWO of those games were unplayable (not even new releases, older ones to avoid much of the bugs). And I really don't have a game to compete that whole series.

Borderlands has a few evil glitches (though I think most have them have been fixed now)
One, I was playing online with my bros for about four to five hours. We call it quits.
We get on later only to discover one of us is missing their save file. The hell happened to the autosave?
Then, we continued on after he caught back up, and we played for another long period of time, and guess what?
It happens to me.
So long level 25, hello level 16. '-_-

Oh well, we're finding work arounds for it.

Top 5 buggiest games I've played...

In no particular order...

Arcanum- Big game, so a few odd glitches here and there were tolerable, like a thrown object moving through someone, or someone becoming invincible for a moment.

FallOut 3- Odd bugs here and there, like character models freaking out and the such. Nothing major, but made for some humorous moments.

Dead Rising- Survivors. Stupid. How they had no self preservation sense at all was a mystery at times, but it was still a lot of fun.

... I can't seem to think of any more, but it seems the buggiest games are the big ones. The ones with huge maps and a ton of number crunching behind the scene. None of the bugs were real deal breakers in this game, but hey, no one's perfect. It happens.

I would be surprised that no one here mentioned this game yet if it wasn't so outrageously terrible and buggy that no one wanted it in the first place. The only reason I had the displeasure of attempting to play it was because my brother found it in a dollar deal bin.

Dungeon Lords.

DUNGEON. LORDS.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dungeon_Lords

The thing wasn't even finished! Quests that lead nowhere because the NPCs were in the game, towns that had no one in them for no explicable reason and doors that didn't work were just some of the problems.

I've played New Vegas, Oblivion, Fallout 3 and both Fables. None of them come close to the pure unfinished state of Dungeon Lords.

I had the pleasure of getting LOTR The Fellowship of the Ring on the GBA. Every time I entered Tom Bombadil's house it froze. To this day I have not managed to find a way to get past it. I'm just thankful I've never had a bug affect me in a game I actually had the time to get invested in.

Empire Total War.

End. of. Fucking. Thread.

Seriously, still hasn't been fixed at all after nearly 3 years and now I'm afraid to play Shogun 2 because I don't want the Empire fiasco repeated.
Ain't that the truth. nothing was a more buggy release EVER!!!!! it still crashes all the time and is the worst bit of coding i have seen in a LONG LONG TIMe especially for a supposedly AAA title

I have never played a game where I had to cheat via gameshark to have fun. The only exception was Quest 64. Maybe you're thinking of Aidyn Chronicles or however you spell that. Incidentally there was a number of glitches in that game I still loved that crap out of it.

I've only just began to appreciate New Vegas. Really, when you take a stealth focused character, sniping a radscorpion's tail from far away in one shot with the cowboy repeater and launching it into the air for an insta-kill can not be more satisfying.

Runner-Up: Alpha Protocol-Due to it sucking so bad it doesn't deserve a spot on the list.
Funny. This thing again. I dunno, maybe I got the 'buy the game on the release day' award, but I played the PS3 version which was supposed to be the most buggy of them all, and I didn't encounter any. Single. Bug. At all.

Also it was incredibly fun for me, even more than ME2, but that's beside the point.

1. Elder Scrolls II - Daggerfall. If you think, that Oblivion or either of the latests Fallouts were buggy, play this and restate your opinion. Hell, this game even got a fan nickname 'Buggerfall', and that's something.

2. Dungeon Lords. Old, forgotten game... For a reason, it sucked.

3. Disciples 3. My pals gave me that game on my Birthday in July, and we had to wait a few months for some patches, before we could play a decent hot-seat game, without pulling our hair from the more annoying bugs.

4. Championship Manager 4, back in 2002. Oh God, that was hilarious. They released patch solving dozens of bugs EVERY WEEK. Best part? Some of the patches managed to plant another bugs inside the game in place of those fixed xD

5. Battlefield Vietnam. Bugs + Cheating bots = ARGH.
