Biggest bugfest you've ever came across?

I'm just wondering what's "the biggest mess" you've ever played. I'd have to go with Boiling Point because even with the first patch it was a totally unplayable mess. The second one would be Gothic 3 version 1.0.

Gothic 3

Empire: Total War.

The whole game is one giant bug.

There are just too many to list :? but two of the most memorable ones to me were GTA 4 and Saints Row 2.

The aircraft carrier levels in Crysis - almost unplayable. biggest_loser

I never had any problems with that level.

For me the biggest bug fest is Gothic 3 the game wouldnt even run if you had 4GB+ ram and some kind of memory leak caused the game to crash all the time.

hidden and dangerous, but I still completed it with no man losing and all levels played with 3 player lan coop (you cant save in a mission :s). Sometimes I seemed impossible because we were only 10 years old or so, but we did it in the end!

But man those times a commando for no reason fell through the ground into a some sort of green paradise or AI people who needed to be escorded started running into enemy lines :p

With the exception of Oblivion, Fallout 3, Sacred 2, and Crysis I havn't played any of the other games mentioned up to this point in the thread. Of the games I have played only Crysis gave me any problems and they were game breaking. Wouldn't alow me to finish the graveyard even though I'd killed all the invisable soldiers. It also had bad graphical problems like wheels not showing on the back of vehicals. So that would be my vote. I usually research games to see which are the bugfests and either wait for a patch or simply not buy them. But Crysis got me, guess I got hung up on the hype and had to see what all the buzz was about. What a moron.:?

Unpatched Empire Total War... Great game now, but at launch it was baaaaaaaaaaaaaad.

Splinter Cell Double Agent, hands down horrible. Whats funny is that it still is HORRID!!!

The aircraft carrier levels in Crysis - almost unplayable. biggest_loser

This. Ruined the ending of a great game.

At the moment it's GTA4

Dungeon Lords...the game had potential but was released completely unfinished

None really, just a couple of crashes in both Stalker SOC and Witcher EE but not anymore!

I really don't run into bugs a lot but my friend did have trouble with the carrier level in Crysis.

STALKER Clear Sky has several gamebreaking glitches unpatched. And even when patched, it's still recommendable to use separate saves for every area you enter.

The aircraft carrier level in Crysis is unplayable on DX10. I had to run the game in DX9 to be able to finish it.

Previous generation GTA games have some horrible AI glitches, but sometimes it's hard to draw the line between incidental bugs and consistently bad programming.

Splinter Cell: DAgamerguy845

this

Gothic 3, tho the game itself was good.

Saints Row 2

Star Wars Galaxies pre-cu.

ST04

ahhhhh memories!! this was the first PC game i played when i got my first PC back in 1998. it was so hard and had many bugs i had to use god mode in

order to finish it. I still remember the guy smoking the cigar when i finished. :D

masss effect waqs pretty bad but nothing beats the bugfest of elderscrolls 2: daggerfall.. you even SEEN the half of the game that doesnt work due to a few half finished game files?

Dark & Light. I'm not sure if that game ever recovered from that failure of a launch.

Daikatana...

Where to start...???

Sacred. Even the updater failed to update the game properly.

Out of the games I played or tried it has to be

Gothic 3 version 1.0.

Empire: Total War 1.0

Starwovles 2, that was bad. The game would crash every 30 mins.

The biggest bugfest had to be

Starship Troopers (2005), bugfest in 2 ways. Many bugs to kill and many bugs that don't let you kill. Coundn't even finish the first level because it always crashed. With newer drivers managed to get 10 miters further but thats about it.

The game I experienced most bugs was with KOTOR. I loved the game but even with the patch it crashed randomly during fights, talking to NPCs or opening boxes. I had to press quick save literally before and after every encounter.the_ChEeSe_mAn2

KOTOR.It gave me more BSOD than most games, didn't work with my desired resolution, weird frame rates, and now won't work with my new PC. Also, I remember walls disappearing in the game, and at one point ruining the surprise that the there was a boss on the other side. With that said, the game was still awesome and was worth putting up with the bugs.

HAWX. Broken in game cut-scene and triggers. At one point, I was already shot down but I crossed the destination point. The game then proceeded with the cut scene. After the in-game cutscene, the jet was fully repaired and it proceeded along with the next objective. At another time, it autosaved even though I was shot down. So when I reloaded, I basically just watched my jet exploding over and over.

Frontlines: Fuel of War. I don't know if it's a bug or if it was intentional: apparently, a small bunker can hold an infinite amount of soldiers. I watched some bunker churn out baddies to no end but - I'd just kill them for fun. I guess it makes sense; the game wasn't about just camping out in one place and sniping from afar - but moving the 'frontline' along. Too bad after five or so the bodies would disappear, or else I would have made a nice big pile of dead soldier.

I'm just wondering what's "the biggest mess" you've ever played. I'd have to go with Boiling Point because even with the first patch it was a totally unplayable mess. The second one would be Gothic 3 version 1.0.

For me it was sacred 2, took forever to make it working, not to mention the very questionnable 14 gb's installation ( or was it 20 ? lol )

I played a Braveheart RTS/TBS hybrid game. Crash to desktop within 30 minutes (many times earlier) with no error message and no patches/support from the developers. It also had various ingame bugs and no real tutorial to figure out what was going on in the game. My computer met the recommended specs almost exactly. Same operating system, RAM, video card, etc and it still had all these problems. But it got for $5 at someone's garage sale, so I didn't lose too much money. I guess now I know why they were selling it.James00715
