Star Wars: Podracer.

There were many instances of me literally falling through the floor because I boosted to soon. Literally unplayable for any lengthy duration of time.

Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines.

Even with all the patches it's still buggy as hell. Trying playing it without them, it's horrifying.

Weird, because I finished it and absolutely loved it.
Are you referring to the framerate? Because a patch fixes that. Besides, I played the whole game without the patch, and even then, the framerate was better than all games I play online.
If you didn't mean the framerate. Tell me what made the game unplayable besides that.

Half Life 2, given that you have the PC version and have the console enabled, and don't really know what you're doing.

It might just be my computer (which sucks massive scrotum sacks), but here it goes anyway.
Increase the gravity gun's max mass to something around 900000001, pick up a jeep with said gravity gun, and watch the magic.

MTW2 is buggy? I never heard that. I believe you, but I never encounted one bug, and I've played the hell out of that game. Well, one text error actually. Not really a bug though.

And Mercenaries 2 is the buggiest game ever. Seriously. Look it up. At any one time you're playing you're encountering atleast 2 glitches at a time. Every single bit of the game is prone to glitching. Depending on how bad whatever you're running it on is. Apparently some xboxs are more prone to glitches, my friend literally could not play the game on his xbox, and it was a known fact that his has glitches/freezes more often. He got a new xbox after that, and the game was fine. Well not fine, but actually playable.

The fallout series! Some areas were innacessible, memory leaks, save games file corruption... Loved it to bits anyway mind you.

It just makes it that much more appropriate that Bethesda, makers of such sandbox bug-farms as Morrowind and Oblivion, has taken up the reins.

Did anyone play Frontier: First Encounters back in the day? I've never played a game since then that had so many friggggggin bugs.

how has anyone not said Shadow of Chernobyl, or Clear Sky yet?

you can hardly do anything to those games without it screaming at you. My clear sky does a bug report sometimes when i start it up!

Hmm mine is Shadow Dancer for the Master System. I quit even trying to play it after the first minute when both my sprite and the enemy started flickering in an out of existence amd the throwing star that had been lobbed at me disappeared only to end up embedded in my character's head. Haven't touched the thing since.

Seriously, there was so many glitches in that game, I'm surprised no-one has mentioned it.

Shadows was kinda glitchy on my desktop, but it ran like butter on my laptop.
Then again, desktop = vista, laptop = xp

Coincidence?
I think not.

Boy that’s a good one; I would have to say either the original release of Oblivion or Dark Messiah: Might and Magic. When they first came out I rushed home eagerly and slammed the disc into the tray installed them.

Low and behold, I got the most horrific crash/freeze fest ever witnessed by mankind. I promptly uninstalled……..oh wait… that’s right……oblivion (pre-patch) could not be uninstalled without purging the files manually and then mercilessly hunting down the registry entries.

Dark Messiah was even worse, it wouldn’t even load 90% of the time, you would load your single player game from the menu and it would sit on the halfway mark forever, and you couldn’t minimize or task manager, you could only hard reboot your PC. The multiplayer was non-functional.

I have only two words to describe the first week of playing those games after release…

EPIC FAIL!!!

Yeah I hated Mormon Trombone Wrestling 2 as well. The first one was much better.

I'd play the hell out of that game.

I've been playing I Wanna Be The Guy again lately, and it's horridly buggy. This has been explained to be the fault of Multimedia Fusion 2, or whatever, but it's still extreeeemely buggy. I'll give it credit though, it is a piece of freeware.

As for games I've paid for to have bug out? Morrowind liked to crash my Xbox periodically. Still, it wasn't *that* bad. Oblivion's got some bugs too, but not to the extent Morrowind did.

I cant decide what's buggier, Shadow of Chernobyl's initial release(its pretty stable now thanks to mods) or Clear Sky. Both have faulty scripts, menus, and built in crashes up the ass! Also Clear sky is incompatible with the ATI 3800 series drivers which means you either have to downgrade or use the beta version of new drivers.

Mercs 2 is pretty buggy, it's not that bad most of the time but in certain sections it pulls out all the stops in a frustrating attempt to force you to hurl your controller, WWE style, through your tv screen.

Pool of Radiance: Ruins of Myth Drannor

Early versions of this game wiped your hardrive if you uninstalled it.

I bought Oblivion for the PC, tried to install it and it broke my computer. Nothing worked. It crashed every time I tried to turn it on. I had to get a new one. It made me furious.

Yep Medieval total war 2 is certainly up at the top of the list.

If we include MMO's im going with AoC as the crafting systems, ah, bank, quests etc all had bugs on release.

I seem to recall Myth II having a similar glitch. Un-installing Windows? Something like that.

EDIT: Yeah, it uninstalled your Windows directory if you tried to nuke the game. God bless Penny Arcade.

Giants: Citizen Kabuto...

I'm not sure if anyone else has ever played this game but on my original PC it took a minor miracle to get that game working. Sound glitches, video glitches, saving glitches, random crashes, you name it that game had it.

I second that nomination! Giants drove me insane. I had a PC that totally trounced the system requirements and had hardly anything running in the background and it still played terrible. This was even when I had an anti-virus program that was easy to turn off (I always played games with it turned off). Nothing I tried helped much. It was so disapointing too, because the fragments of the game I got to play were really funny and clever.

A close second to Giants would be Enter the Matrix. That game looked and played awful on both my PC and Xbox even when it wasn't experiencing a game halting glitch. Another major let-down. I've boycotted buying anything made by Shiny ever since.

Wow, talk about a bad bug! And I thought finding out (after I had bought and tried to install the games, rendering it unreturnable of course) that certain games were incompatible with a CD-ROM drive that I had in my old PC was bad. In some cases, it took a lot of digging on the game publisher's website to find that out too.

Wiping your HD, now that's really bad. That's class-action lawsuit bad.

I am going to agree with this one. There are arguably buggier games, but the true measure of buggy, in my opinion, comes from shooting for the moon and blowing up on the launch pad.

KOTOR 1 on the PC before they put out the patch. Great game, crashed all the time. Even with the patch it was bad. Not as bad, but still bad enough to piss me off something awful. If it was not as awesome I would have stopped paying it in the first 5 minutes.

Well it obvious Big Rigs wins. I think PAC-MAN for the 2600 is worth a mention though for its blinking ghosts.
