No, I'm not talking about a game pissed at you because you suck at playing it, I'm talking about games full o' bugs overlooked (or left deliberately due to time constraints, lack of interest, etc) by the developers.

The only one I remember from the top of my head (my brain must have layers) is Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness. I'm fairly sure the game is supposed to give Lara Croft's trademark dual pistols after a certain level taking place in certain person's apartment, yet you're stuck instead with guns with no charisma (yeah, I want guns with charisma!). Then, the game was duplicating by itself certain unique, storyline items and I managed to have too much of them in my inventory, enough for the universe to implode. Not to mention that I suspect that originally there were going to be more levels, because either I'm short and I don't get things or it's blatantly obvious, certain part of the game went too fast from city to enemy base.

So yeah, post away, that will teach 'em!

I don't play too many bugged games, but I love spamming cheat codes in GTA to get some glitches. If you enter the weapons cheat ans switch weapons fast enough your hand guns and sub-machine guns turn invisible. It's funny to see someone shoot imaginary bullets and actually hurt people.

that was VC iirc.

pedestrians have guns + crazy pedestrians = EPIC (specially if you are doing missions)

I seem to remember a cheat for San Andreas where all pedestrians had dildos as weapons. Then you use the cheat to be attacked by everyone... All this while wearing the sex slave outfit and... Voil�! Random madness.

this was perhaps the most chaotic combo ever. I got robbed by paramedics during a mission to drive Lance. I was in hysterics.

Prince of Persia: Warrior Within. Ugh, game was SO bugged that I could never finish it... got to the last portal, but the damn thing didn't work. Discovered later on that I had hit a permanent bug, and would had to start all over again.

Worst game I've played on my GameCube. I have a general dislike for Ubisoft ever since.

Dungeon Lords. I bought the original release, tried playing it and felt like a beta tester. No minimap, items disappearing from inventory, doors and quests randomly failing...terrible

Looks like one of those games which could have been good IF they didn't screw up. I'd throw it out of the window anytime.

Daggerfall (Elder Scrolls 2).

Crashes, clipping through the floor and falling into an endless void, getting stuck in walls, getting stuck in monsters, going up a flight of stairs to have the floor seal over them, randomly jumping so high that the fall killed you, quests that couldn't be completed...it was great.

Sadly, Mass Effect for the PC. Unfortunately, the game often crashes after an hour of play or sometimes sooner. I have to constantly save my game. What's worst, when the game crashes, I have to restart the computer, because the crash messes up the graphic drivers.

Sonic the Hedgehog was full of those tiny little critters! Also Gears of War, but that was ok because that is what made it extra fun!

My god, Neverwinter Nights 2. The only game I've ever stopped playing because of bugs.

Really bad with the AI. There were party members overriding their AI restrictions to waste precious items and spells or attack me like an FF character getting Confuse status. Cutscenes that wouldn't start based on the inexplicable absence of certain team-mates. And the last straw...a dog took the place of my caster. Forever.

"Is it good in a fight?"
NO. It's a fucking dog.

Gears of War for Windows PC.

There was an issue where if the date was past the 30th of January 2009 (I think that's the right date), the game would no longer launch.

Epic made a mistake when releasing the game where the online cheat detection had a digital signature which Epic for whatever reason enabled an executable with a certificate which expired after this date....
Meaning that anyone who started up the game after this date would just get an error which wouldn't start the game up. Temporary fix was to change your computers date back a couple days then when you'd finished playing, change it back..

Luckily enough, there has since been a patch released.

The games most bugged for me were...

Prince of Persia: Fallen King (DS) - There were times when I would jump onto a ledge and I would just be stuck there and have to restart my DS.
Syberia (DS) - One time I was in the train station at the university and the game just kept losing layers until it was just blackness. And later in the game I would come back from a save and my character would be extremely large, taking up most of the screen and I wouldn't be able to move.
Quest 64 - I remember that at the time I didn't have any other games to play so I just decided to try and get all the magic spells for the character and at the end location of the game (which you can't leave) I fought and fought until I realized that you can't get them all because your exp stops gaining at a certain point.

gears of war for PC. I was really pissed off when after finishing Chapter III all my saves got disappeared without any visible reason. After that I presented it to my friend on his birthday. ^^
CAPCOM's Biohazard 4 (only PC version!). I haven't seen such a bad control settings anywhere. Why didn't they set mouse in motion???
Also I should mention MGS2: Substance for PC. A bunch of bugs and glitches... Gladly I got the original PS2 copy of this game later, so I completed it there.

I was never aware that Substance made it anywhere except for the PS2 and Xbox.

What's odd is that it never did that to me on an emulator. Maybe it's the N64 hardware?

None of you know of Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing do you?

Anyway, You could not lose in this game, it was impossible. Mainly because the CPU opponents were broken and did not move at the start of the race. Plus you could drive faster backwards and you did not stop gaining speed when reversing either!

The only redeeming part of that game was the ammount I laughed when I actually finished a race, and tha'ts because the designers did not know English so the winning screen was this:

Prince of Persia: Warrior Within is definitely up there. I would also have to say The Witcher; for all it's good graphics, great sound and intelligent design... that game had a LOT of bugs/glitches.

Thankfully, the Enhanced Edition has fixed about 95% of the problems.

I haven't ever had trouble with glitchy games, with one exception. I distinctly recall accidentally catching myself in a Pokeball in Pokemon Blue.

I was extremely entertained by this.

Either I'm very lucky or just never really play games with game-breaking bugs, but the most bugged game i've ever played i think would be my Pokemon Blue. I caught myself an army of pikachus who only knew self-destruct, for some weird reason, and a mewtwo (which i found at level 5 outside pallet) that knew fissure, gillotine, horn drill, and recover, and my pidgeot decided to learn dig at some point, and a bunch of other weird things like that. This was all without catching missingno, and never happened again after i restarted. I miss those pikachus.

Dragon Ball: Final Bout

It's as if Bandai was actually going for a bugged-feel.
