Can we just have anything by Obsidian as one entry? Otherwise it'll just be "games by Obsidian".

I'd have to say that in terms of flawed (buggy) classics Vampire - Bloodlines is probably somewhere near the top of the list.

One of those games so buggy only community-made patches come close to getting it working.

5. Fallout 3 - let us complete the quests.
4. Alpha Protocol - Actually let people have the choice to play the way they want.
3. Fallout: New Vegas - Erm starting bugs?
2. Star Wars: TFU - A game that has a bug that stops you from doing secondary missions must be buggy.
1. Terminator Salvation - No terminator you don't have the ability to kill me when your dead already.

Possible addition to the list: Mass effect - Mr. Fantastic and freezing.

I never really had any problems with Fable 2 or 3.

New Vegas is easily the buggiest game I've ever played, though.

I am appalled at the lack of mention of Fallout 2.

Seriously, you do not know bugs if you did not play Fallout 2, it makes New Vegas seem glitch free.

(Only 1 guy mentioned Fallout 2, for shame).

I do believe I have a winner!

The Guild 2

How buggy is it? Most people cant install it.
Fewer can install the patches.
None will go without crashes.
ALL will get utterly depressed about the game and stop playing.

Oh yeah.. And it has multiplayer!.. But it cant be used!

GOTHIC 3, The buggiest game I have ever played. And with the longest loading times.

EDIT: Elemental War of Magic. Never expected a game ever to be this buggy or to lack so many of its features on release.....

I can think of loads of very minor graphical glitches and the like, but my only really bad bug experience was with Mass Effect, although I don't think I've heard many people complain about it.

The installation continually corrupted itself, requiring a complete system restore and reinstall. It would play fine for a while, then the same thing would happen again.
Also, for some reason, every time it's been installed, the autosave function has been utterly unreliable- it only autosaves maybe once out of every five times it says it does.

I never had much trouble with Oblivion being glitchy on the PS3, so much as with some of the strange choices- particularly the fact that some characters could be killed even when you still needed them for a quest (Alessia Caro, I'm looking at you). It wasn't a bug, just a really bizarre decision!

What!!!! No mention of Hellgate London!!!!

I know most of us have tried to forget how......awful that game was but #1 has gotta be Hellgate

What about the DOTA knockoff game (forget the name) that was unplayable for the first month/month and a half??

Hell i'd even go as far as to attack some of the "untouchables" like WoW, anyone remember the AQ or the Naxx patches before BC?? granted it took only a week or 2 for them to fix everything but at a time when i was raiding nightly (sigh i know, i got better) and not even being able to make it to the raid portals before the game locked up or kicked me out of the server and I had to re queue for another hour and a half.

Hell lets go REAL far back, how about Diablo 2 and its CONSTANT duping hacks / exploits on the ladders, when i decided to make a ladder character with my buddy and the first game we join the guy asks if we want to buy a full trang ouls set for 50 SoJs i was like screw this everyone is cheating....

I think im gonna pay for the Blizz hate......

I think Fallout 3 has frozen up on me maybe twice in all the time I've had it (PS3).

Newest addition to the list for me? F1 2010. I paid £40 for a beta version of F1 2011 basically. The patch that they had to release one month after the game came out fixes some stuff, but a lot of stuff is still plain fecked.

Shame on you Codemasters, shame on you.
