Oblivion, but they were GOod glitches, like the infinate money glitch. Or the duplication one. lol
What's the glitchiest mess of a game you've ever played?

Silent Hill: Homecoming; it was a pretty good game but, you had to keep 2 save files lest a game breaking glitch (of which there were a multitude) destroy one. For example, there is one section in which you enter an otherworld house full of puzzles. Unfortunately, if you do not preform the puzzles in the correct order, which is not specified, the game will lock the door for one of them and not allow it to be opened no matter what. There is a save point in the middle of all of the puzzles, and as I recall there's only three or so save slots, which would mean you're intended to overwrite you non glitch-trapped one. Yaaaaaaay!
really? i loved the orange box on ps3 (before i got it on steam) and i never had many problems with it, even during 3 playthroughs....never did TF2, on any platform, so can't judge that one.TheYellowCellPhone said:
also...i dont know, glitches tend to pass me by :$
Red Dead Redemption. I never really had any problems with glitches in other games, but oh god. I played and then got to the part with Bonnie and when she asked me to patrol, she just stayed on the horse and didn't move so I had to restart. And then not ten minutes after that, I was following a guy on my horse and I fell THROUGH THE FLOOR. Couldn't get out no matter how hard I tried.
I've played the game for less than half an hour and two game-breaking glitches have happened. I dread to think how much more I've got coming...

I've played many games with bugs..but Bugsidian games takes it to a totally new level, I can only lament that a writer like Chris avellone works for such a company.
The KOTOR 2 Restored Content Mod reinstates a lot of the overtly missing stuff, but it also ups the glitch count considerably. I had to save every five minutes in two or three slots and had to go nosing around forums to find out why a particular level transition was crashing the game mid-load. For one I had to equip a certain weapon to get through, and another door could only be passed through if you switched off high-res shadows.
I don't even like to think about the Shyrack cave, where if you don't have your patches up to date your character emerges BEHIND the level transition and any attempt to leave sends you back into the cave- I had to switch to a secondary character and take them back to the Ebon Hawk in solo mode to escape.
SiN was pretty bad in its day, too. The game was released with a completely non-functional boss who just stood there while you blew his face off. The makers released an extra multiplayer map along with the first patch to make up for everyone's disappointment. Unfortunately they made the patch and the extra level one file, and this made the patch 20Mb instead of 3 -in 1997, I might add. I didn't have internet access at home and the computers at school didn't have CD writers. I had to span the damn thing over 14 floppy disks!
Good times.

Fallout New Vegas. It isn't game-breaking or a hindrance, more hilarious. If you have Boone as a companion he just can't stop bugging out, so you could play through the entire game with a glitchy companion.
I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that you probably haven't played that many Xbox games then.Aura Guardian said:
Back on topic though, the glitchiest game I have ever played would have to be Saints Row 2.
It's still a really good game but sometimes it just lets itself down by acting really strange (problems that come to mind are the inability of your character to enter a car sometimes, getting trapped in a ragdoll fall and thus being unable to get back up again, having an APC get shoved around by a convertable as if it weighed less than a bag of sugar and mission important NPC's getting stuck on things such as bus stops), granted, some of the glitches and bugs just made the game even more funny but a fair few of them could make sections extremely difficult to the point of being almost unplayable.
Of the games I played it is. I never played that CoC game. There's no way that either of the True Crime games could've been half as bad as Fallout New Vegas: granted Fallout New Vegas has a lot more TO go wrong with it.Riobux said:
First of all, thanks for the extensive explanation.imperialreign said:
The thing is that FNV started cracking up after short play sessions: between half hour and forty five mins... Sometimes it was shortly after the start and one time it went back to the xmb before it even got into the game; from the load screen. In fact I remember being amazed one day when I was actually able to play a couple of hours without having to restart.
I have to say that I actually take pretty good care of all my electronics. The only bad thing I do is that my friends and I smoke around it, the sticky stuff too. But otherwise I keep it clean, clear, cool, and dry.
It plays all the other games (not connected to Bethesda at least) like clockwork, even Blops which is supposed to have a lot of issues too.
I know I said it before but experiences like this make me want to just get a really good pc when the next gen rolls around.
With such an expansive and detailed answer I've had a sudden epithany and now see the light...is what I would have been saying if you had said something more involved than 'no, and I still hate it'.Aura Guardian said:
I have played a lot of 360 games and have had no problem with most of them so either you've had the terrible misfortune of buying faulty games or you've had the equally misfortunate issue of getting games that are infamous for being glitchy.
It might just be a specific game - some games are much harder on the hardware than others, and the additional work can drive hardware temps through the roof. I remember when Crysis first came out, the rig I was running could barely last 15 minutes before shutting down from overheating . . . whereas my current hardware doesn't even hiccup at that title with in-game settings maxed out, and runs at comfortable temps for hours.GonzoGamer said:
It sounds like there might be some game bugs causing the crashes, but it also sounds like the primary culprit is simply heat. If you're willing to crack the console open, you'd probably be amazed at how much dust has built up inside, and smoking makes it a lot worse:
Pretty nasty, eh? Big reason why I don't smoke around my hardware. The tar makes dust stick even thicker, and makes it a major PITA to clean out (a can of compressed air usually won't work to break that free).
Also, between the processing cores (CPU and GPU) and their cooler, there's a layer of thermal paste that helps transfer heat from the core to the cooler . . . over time, the paste will dry up and break down, requiring it to be re-applied at some point. I'm not sure, but I believe this is a fix for the "red ring of death;" I can say that for computers, it's considered by a lot of "power users" to be "annual maintainence" (along with cleaning out dust, etc.).
Big Rigs over the Road Racing. Look it up if you've never heard about it. I could go on for pages.
