Yeah. It could very well be the PS3 version or just the disc I have but it's so goddamn glitchy that it became unplayable after a certain point.lysiaboy said:

Probably Portal. My friend ask me if I wanted to play it. I played it for five seconds and it glitched. He said it never happened to him before. In response I said "really? It never happened to you? I play it for five seconds and glitches."
I don't tend to play glitchy games. Either Fallout 2 or Pokemon Red/Blue I guess. Well... Fallout 2 could be unplayable without patches... so let's go with that. Sorry MissingNo, you're still the BEST glitch ever.
Not the least bit surprised. My rig was built to handle games like Crysis and Oblivion (modded up the yin-yang) but Gothic 3 kept a pretty respectable frame rate. i don't remember how I did it, but that took tooling as well. Actually, i think I remember being pissed that I'd spent 11 straight hours just getting it to run right (including reading forum posts on their site about it) rather than playing the damned thing. It's so badly put together that I suppose anything could have happened, which only further shows what a mess that game was.Starke said:In oneupsmanship I might have you there. I tried to run it on my rig when it came out (which ran Crysis more or less comfortably), I tried it on my gaming laptop, (which runs Crysis on medium to high happily) and I tried it on my new horrifically overpowered desktop (that hits 60 FPS on Crysis on maximum and stays there). I couldn't get it above 15 FPS... EVER.Icehearted said:GOTHIC 3!
Even the game's makers admit to this fact on their own site. The game regularly breaks itself, and most of the time you need to do some serious hacking and some serious cheating to get anywhere. I invested 30 hours into that game and barely made a ***** in it, and I encountered at least 7 or more game breakers that I can remember that I had to manually rectify.
A shameful shitpile considering the previous two games (especially 2) were so bloody fantastic.
On a psychotic lark I picked up a digital copy off of Steam, and it runs fine on ALL of those systems. So something on the disk horribly f'ed up on my systems.
Gothic 4 had better pull some mad mojo or I won't even look at it.
The old Caesar's Palace game for the PC has to be the glitchiest piece of software I've ever seen, period. It has everything from minor graphical and audio glitches to constant CTDs. After that, the glitchiest game would either be Arena or Daggerfall. The newer elder scrolls games are downright bugfree compared to those two.
In Daggerfall, for example, if you try to break into somebody's house, a glitch kicks in where the city guards can take you down to 1 hit point, but no lower. If you eventually decide to turn yourself in -- because you keep getting waves of guards -- all you have to do is plead "not guilty", which not only gets you off scot-free, but raises your reputation with some/all of the factions (it's been a while) all the way up to "Exalted," the highest level. It should take you somewhere closer to "Pondscum." The sad thing is that this is just one of a practically unlimited number of bugs in the game.

I don't think I've run into any truly gamebreaking bugs in my long history of PC gaming, nothing that couldn't be fixed by a quick reload. Not going to claim any kind of superiority here, it's just dumb luck. It's really remarkable, though, that PC games work as well as they do with the millions of possible configurations.
Bugs on console games? Bloody inexcusable.

Oblivion, before all patches and user-created fixmods. It was a great game, but damn was it buggy.
Well, Risen was actually a pretty good romp in the Gothic II style, so there is that. The Gothic titles aren't even being developed by Piranha Bytes anymore. Gothic 3 was so bad that JoWood took it away from them.Icehearted said:Not the least bit surprised.

On that level, there's always STALKER Clear Sky, another buggy mess of a game.
I'm not sure which was worse, Clear Sky or Gothic 3.
Ha ha. that happened to me to. Even better, i was walking alone a road COMPLETELY ALONE and out of the blue it says "you stole from the mages guild, you have been suspended. Go see blah blah blah dude". that message.PuffyMuffin92 said:
I didn't do anything. Just. Bing. You stole from your friends. Psh.
And don't get me started on using a spell when you go through a door, or attacking a bear causing the Kavatch city guard tospawn out of a tree, and butt rape you. No clipping NPC's. Main characters who shouldn't be able to die falling through the map. Ending all possibility of ever completing the main quest. The count of whats its one of the towns never spawning. Making a quest impossible. Barrels that crash the game when they're clicked on. Random pieces of clothing walking around... i could go on.
Assassins Creed was buggy as hell, but not to the point where it affected gameplay. The Suffering had a tendency to glitch out if you managed to peice together the flamethrower too early in the game, or if your PS2 was sub-par/in dire need of cleaning.
But I think the icing on the cake was when I got to the top of a mountain in The Barrens in World of Warcraft, mis-stepped and fell through the graphics. The first time I ended up just outside of the Wailing Caverns instance (even though I was NOWHERE near that mountain). The second time I tried it I just kept falling until I landed in an ocean with a single island on it.
I got close and realized just where the hell I was and hearthed out of there. I'm still surprised none of the GM's saw me wandering around their tiny dock and banned me to hell and back.

I have been asked this before and when I answer I usually get the "Huh?" face. Mine would have to be Halo 3: ODST
Pac-Man world for the PS1, it worked for a few days but then it went all weird and flashy although I think that might have been the PS1 itself that was glitchy as it broke soon afterwards.
Also one particular level in Ape Escape 1 often had loads of weird glitches, even the music sounds like a big glitch.

Fallout 3 & Oblivion had tons of issues. The worst I ever seen was Daggerfall though, Temple of Elemental Evil was pretty bad as well.
Gears of War.
I just started playing it yesterday and it is the glitchiest thing I have ever played, to the point where it's just damn frustrating. I don't mind funny glitches like in RDR and I even put up with the terrible controls in Kane & Lynch. But At least K&L's shitty controls were CONSISTENTLY shitty.
In Gears he'll spaz out when going into cover, causing you to get shot to pieces. He'll get CAUGHT on the fucking cover when you're moving! I have died so many times thanks to Marcus's arse seemingly phasing in with the terrain that I have given up on using the sprint button for fear of hitting a rock at the wrong angle!
After playing the first campaign chapter I now understand why Gears players primarily play online. Because the ENTIRE CAMPAIGN IS A GLITCHY MESS! The AI never ceases to amaze me at how bad it is. You have any idea how many times I died trying to rescue Dom who got killed taking cover on the SAME FUCKING SIDE AS THE LOCUST!? Or because he decided to run into the middle of them!? And half of those times, why did I die? Because I got caught on the terrain and couldn't move!
And the chainsaw system is fucked as well. Hit 'B' and it'll cut your enemy in half. Maybe. It depends whether the game feels like it or not. I understand the whole 'you get shot you get stunned and can't chainsaw' thing (I think it's rubbish in a game, especially this one as if you didn't shoot the bastard before he got in chainsaw range you deserve to die), but what if you snuck up behind them?! Then you stand there like an idiot holding B while they turn around and melee you to death.
