Worst Videogame Bugs of All Time: From Game-Ending Glitches to Data-Destroying Nightmares

"We've all been there. Back to the wall. Knee-deep in the dead. When all of a sudden... the screen freezes. Congratulations, you just wasted six hours of your life. And man, did you get off easy.

Because some bugs do more than freeze your game. They can erase save files, ruin other games, and even damage the hardware they're played on.

They are... The Worst Videogame Bugs of All Time. "

Oh my goodness. I personally experienced that bug ridden Pool of Radiance. It was a good game spoiled by bugs. Thankfully I didn't try to uninstall it before the patch.

This article brings back a lot of (bad) memories.

Wow lol, Imagine encountering the Oblivion: Shivering Isles bug. You'll just suicide after playing for 150 hours and your game stops working.

"After installing the Shivering Isles expansion pack, all would be well until the 150-hour mark. Then it's game over, man! Game over! Six scripts controlling the movement of some city guards slowly ate up resources until no new items could be created or dropped. (Obviously, this could cause a few problems...) Even better, the problem strikes even if you never go anywhere near the new areas. Joy! "

pretty solid article though your site needs some work, some stuff hard to read

Madusha5315d ago

Agreed, article is very nicely written. The whole website has excellent content quality but the design really needs work.

Keep up the good work

...Despite being 3 years old.

Contributer fail.

Graffin5315d ago

Some pretty scary stuff in there!

Milky Joe5315d ago

That was a damn god article. Funny too.

I especially like the mention of the Ladybugs at the end. Classy stuff :D

jpymai5315d ago

Gotta love the ladybugs :)

ReservoirDog3165315d ago (Edited 5315d ago )

I only remember one bug. I still remember it till this day...

I think the game was called Croc and it froze (no memory card either) on the ending cutscene.

I never played it again.

edit: Also, one time my 360 version of Oblivion would take about 3 minutes to load anything. Don't know why it happened.

Stopped my Oblivion addiction though. So, in retrospect, it was actually a good thing.

Oblivion's Whodunit Quest Is The Dark Brotherhood At Its Best

TheGamer Writes "It’s not often we get to attend parties in The Elder Scrolls. After we slay Alduin and thwart his attempts to eat Nirn in Skyrim, we’re thrown back into the snowy wastes, and after Mehrune Dagon is shoved back into the Deadlands to… kind-of-die, the best we get is a pat on the back from the Blades."

It was a great quest and the sad part is they NEVER did some sort of "spiritual successor" like quest in Skyrim. Made no sense to me.

Twilight Princess’ Hyrule Field Is Boring, Empty, And Excellent

TheGamer Writes "In my experience, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess’ once-warm reception has chilled somewhat over the years. Praised at launch as a beautiful return to form after the “childish” art style of its direct predecessor, the world eagerly embraced a game that more closely followed Ocarina of Time’s famous structure and plot cues. Perhaps most alluringly of all, the grandeur and sheer scope of this reimagined Hyrule Field wowed millions of us."

I am a huge Zelda fan and love them all, but for me Ocarina Of Time is the greatest and my second all time favourite game after Final Fantasy VII.

LoveSpuds615d ago (Edited 615d ago )

You sir, have good taste in games :)

I also love all of the Zelda games but I adore Windwaker (Specifically the HD version on WiiU) most of all. It is a close run thing with Breath of the Wild though.

Special mention to Cadence of Hyrule too, what an awesome spin off title that was!

GaboonViper614d ago

Cheers Spuds, yep i love Windwaker too, beautiful artstyle, and i loved sailing and finding all the secrets out there.

blackbeld614d ago

Agreed. For me top 3 of all time is.

1. ocarina of time
2. Final fantasy Vll
3. MGS1

GaboonViper614d ago

Brilliant top 3, would love a MGS1 remake that has been rumoured.

LoveSpuds614d ago

Yup, hard to argue with that top 3 squire, some quality games right there!

-Foxtrot616d ago

Oh gee can't imagine what Number 1 is

....

A Link to the Past, Ocarina of Time and Wind Waker etc is better than Breath of the Wild.

lockedongamer1616d ago

I respectfully disagree, but they're all great games.

porkChop616d ago

I think it really depends on what you're looking for. If you want a traditional Zelda game then OoT or WW would be better to you. But if you want a Zelda game that really leans into adventure and exploration, and if you want intelligent systems/logic, BotW would be the better game.

I enjoy both. I understand why some people aren't fond of it but for me it was a breath of fresh air that I really needed. I'd become so burnt out on unimaginative games and BotW sort of made me appreciate games again, as weird as that may sound.

godofboobees615d ago

Those are not traditional Zelda games

Crows90614d ago

Right...so let's pretend ocarina of time didnt have exploration, secret dungeons and other secrets. Complex boss mechanics and exploration rewards. At least a traditional Zelda has dungeons.

porkChop614d ago

What point are you attempting to make? At no point did I say that OoT didn't have any of that. However, the level of exploration and sense of adventure are vastly different between OoT and BotW.

Brazz615d ago

Breath of the Wild is overrated as shot, Wind waker is much better.

P_Bomb615d ago

I’m a Link to the Past guy.

MadLad615d ago

Majora's Mask still holds as my favorite to this day, despite being the black sheep of the series.

pietro1212615d ago

I love them all, but Wind Walker, Link to the Past and Minish Cap are my favorites

John_McClane614d ago

Link to the Past was so, so good! Those chickens though! 🤣
