- These days it’s incredibly rare to play a game that doesn’t experience
some sort of bug or glitch throughout its runtime but these are generally mildly infuriating at worst, and can sometimes even provide unintentional comedy gold. However, when it came to the likes of Batman: Arkham Origins, EVE Online and Assassin's Creed: Odyssey, things got a whole lot more catastrophic. Here are the 10 Worst Game-Breaking Bugs!

I was one of the unlucky folks that had their whole memory card erased by the sony viewtiful joe bug. I called sony and they sent me a game as compensation. A free copy of Sly 2 made the experience more bearable :)
Hell yeah sly 2 was great
I had the same type of thing happen but because of an update on the PS3
Same reason I got Sly 2 too actually
I wonder if they would do something like that these days 🤔 probably not
@@monkmane2345 Ubisoft did it years ago because of bugs in an assassins creed game, they made the dlc free and anyone who paid for it got a free ubisoft game of their choice
Anyone remember Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy? There was a door that would open with progression, the kind of door that would make you wanna save before entering. If you did before progressing, the door would shut and you'd have to restart
Yup, this also happened with Metroid: Other M. The reason for this happening is because, like Mass Effect 1's Lift-Loading bugs, data linked with the corresponding levels gated away via doors and lifts either gets corrupted or lost when you 1) save before entering or 2) enter, then subsequently leave the area when it's completed.
This is also the reason why in Batman: Arkham Origins(pre-patch, of course), it was ill-advised to enter a specific nightclub before you were required to do so later in the game's campaign. As the nightclub for reasons linking to stupidity was rendered unstable as it was coded in sequence with the story, rather than in sequence with the game's loading requirements(as in, based on if you entered the location or not).
I didn’t understand it as a kid but I played it again last year on my Xbox one and i actually completed it and it felt so good but I didn’t experience this then again though I’m one for forgetting to save before big events all the time, I rely heavily on auto save
Ok this is scary. Watching this video while playing Cyberpunk, and when you mentioned it all my gear turned invisible...
One of the first game breaking bugs I remember is from Might and Magic 9 from 3DO that at the end of the tutorial you needed to kill X # of bats and 11 was stuck in a wall hat was supposed to open up and you could not progress to the rest of the game. The devs apparently knew of the issue, but were not allowed to patch it out pre-release because the company needed the money to keep the doors open. So some of the devs released a patch after the company shut it doors a few days after the launch
The cannon room in Zelda Twilight Princess. Saving there screwed you badly, as that room comes late in the game. Saving moves an important NPC out of the room and renders you unable to continue.
i remember doing that. back then i didnt know the game basically soft locked on you. now when ever i go back to the game i make sure to save before or after the room
I was thinking of this one. I also had Twilight Princess screw me over with another game breaking glitch. Not long after the cannon room, you need Midna to transport a bridge - if I recall it's from the desert to the area where you access the Sky Temple. If you save and quit after removing the desert bridge but BEFORE placing it where it needs to be, it can glitch out and never give you the option to place it. This occurred to me right around the Wii launch, and it took me about 5 years to be motivated enough to go through it again and finish.
The worst part about some of these issues is that they SOUND like something a customer did to themselves and they just don't know enough about comouters to understand what they did, and they're blaming it on the game because that's the last thing they uninstalled.
Frontline tech support are often (sadly, ironically) the last ones to know about a major issue like these because people higher up the chain are doing damage control already and don't tell us jack shit until they have their poop in a group. I'd bet a dollar that at least for a couple of hours, some of these issues had tech support people basically telling customers that the problem had to be on their end.
You joke about who would want to uninstall _Half Life,_ but considering the PC we got in 1998 had a 6.4-GB hard drive, you would definitely be wanting to install and uninstall games on the regular if you played a lot of them.
Sounds like some kinda interesting game of Ring Around the Rosie but messing with installer wizards instead of a quick tournament bracket speed run
Fun list! i'm surprised that Myth 2's uninstaller wasn't included along with half life.
Replace the Half Life one eith the Myth 2 bug and we can talk turkey.
I remember save breaking updates not being that uncommon in the late 90's. Can't come up with an example right now but I do remember being annoyed by it on a regular basis.
At launch Skyrim on the PS3 had a bug that would corrupt your save after playing for so many hours. I also found my save corrupted after the game crashed so many times.
That was a good one
The game was unplayable after roughly 30 hours, because of progressively larger file save sizes. And Bethesda hid the Playstation port from reviewers knowing that the Playstation version was bugged. I will never forget how Bethesda handled that situation, and it's always soured my opinion of Skyrim.
@@synthetic20 I've heard that a big problem with ports to the PS3 was the RAM. The PS3's RAM is split between the Cell Processor and the RSX GPU, 256MB each and that was difficult to program for. It could be done but took a lot of extra time and maybe designing the game from the ground up with that in mind.
The Xbox 360 had 512MB's of unified memory (much like modern game systems, only smaller) and therefore was easier to port to.
I had one save where a particular headshot would crash my game upon impact, I reloaded after a couple attempts and continued on like normal, with my inventory of literally everything that I felt like picking up (like 2-3 times my max carry weight). I definitely played for more that 30 hours and it'd be hilarious if, for some reason, my loot hoarding had somehow helped extend my gameplay time?
Then they patched that (sort of) but the game would crash if you entered water. Then... so much more. Skyrim on PS3 was garbage.
You forgot to mention the one about pre-Halo Bungie where one of their games, Oni I think it was, would delete the entire directory that the game was installed to as opposed to only the game files themselves, so anyone foolish enough to install the game to anything other than the default file directory location risked losing more important data and/or bricking their PC if they decided to uninstall the game.
It was Myth 2 and they had to replace all release copies with an emergency patch. Sounds like it was the same kind of bug that the Half-Life's uninstaller had.
@@CaptainConfuzion They only found out about their rather stupid programming habits when a translator in South Korea uninstalled the game from her computer and was locked out of it as a result. This was because she had a habit of installing games on the main C// folder and deleting them once she was done translating them. It is for this reason why I refuse to touch Myth 2 or Deltarune because this is basic programming incompetence that you can't forgive or excuse, even if they DID patch it out in future updates and re-releases.
I think a more appropriate Zelda entry would've been Skyward Sword's infamous Song of the Hero bug. Sure there was a patch for it in the form of a Wii channel (which afaik is no longer downloadable), but it was particularly brutal because the SotH quest is about 90% through the story and rendered your file unbeatable for simply doing an open ended quest in a mildly unorthodox manner.
This was more than likely (I say "more than likely" because as is the style with Japanese developers, the actual development of the game is hidden behind closed doors), down to the Song of the Hero quest originally being intended to be a linear quest, not an open-ended one. Because usually if you complete an open-ended quest's requirements in an unorthodox manner, the game won't break on you for completing it wrong.
If the quest is linear and wasn't tested properly (which can be due to thousands of reasons relating and not relating to beta-testing foibles) completing it out-of-sequence can lead to the game reacting in a manner similar to a Sequence Break, where it'll soft-lock/hard-lock, and in the case of Skyward Sword, render your save file impossible to complete.
I didn't think an escort mission could be made any worse.... Thanks, Ubisoft. We knew we could count on you.😢
You forgot to honorable mention the constant "The game has encountered an error and will now shut down" that No Man's Sky constantly kicks out on PC.
I'm a little surprised you included the SoulCalibur 3 issue, since it seems to have gone under remembered. But I'm glad you included it. I'm more glad I never had that issue myself.
iirc I may have run into this back in the day, and while it was highly distressing at the time because grinding all that stuff back was painful, I honestly didn't mind lowkey because I guess I found my Masochist part of my brain and decided a fresh playthrough wasn't the worst in the world, as I did love the game to such a level.
@@viscountrainbows2857 tbh I've felt similar when my PS3 bricked itself. "Oh no, I'll have to restart Final Fantasy X, how terrible 😉"
I ran into the odyssey problem with Socrates when escorting him from captivity. So irritating.
Gran Turismo 2 also had a glitch that would corrupt saves if you used a certain menu option to try and save.
Didn't learn till years later that Jak X shipped with a bug that could wipe memory cards. Game was responsible for a lot more arguments than I realised.
'YOU MADE ME BREAK UP W/ MY GF, SEE YOU IN COURT'
I think it was for specific models tho
Nobody ever talks about X-Men Legends 2 for GameCube, in which you consistently reach a point where the game will constantly freeze, meaning you can no longer progress (around the 3rd or 4th chapter) and saves become corrupted, due to some issue with memory or something.
When I played Fallout 4 for the first time the BOS member never went inside the building after the ghoul attack. I didn’t even know it was a glitch then so I played the whole game wondering what happened to the BOS
And I've managed to live with that time-bomb of a glitch in Soul Calibur 3 on a memory card to this very day. Only discovered the bug a few years back, and I have SC III pretty much since launch O_O Now that's lucky.
The old school Elder Scrolls Morrowind for the Xbox had a killer bug. When you get halfway through the game, the game would freeze and corrupt your game save. Every. Single. Time. And this happened on multiple consoles. I wound up beating the game on the PC version - and as a result, I never played consoles again.
Also remembering the infamous Tomb Raider (2013 Reboot) helicopter cutscene, which randomly crashed on various platforms and immediately destroyed the actual savegame file as the game is autosaving while crashing.. Experienced this on my PS3.
You left out the biggest game breaking bug of all time: Covid 19.
Given the number of devs who used it as an excuse to launch an unfinished or plain garbage game, this is too true.
_begrudgingly_ 😒 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 well done, I guess you are right
@@timothyoswald8618 *fake cough* League of Legends Sentinels of Light event *fake cough*
RIP all those memory cards
Mainly those who had a trojan disguised as a game demo
May we keep them in our memories, even when they themselves forget
That demo disc screwed over both me and a friend of mine. I didn't even know he got the demo so he got mad when I didn't tell him about it and it got him.
I remember a game breaking bug in Prince Of Persia Sands Of Time. Where using the save game checkpoint to save game just before you cross a bridge, fighting a wave of enemies and enter the observatory. Whilst climbing the observatory you needed to press one of the levers to trigger a platform to move up and progress through the game. This bug would cause that puzzle in the observatory to not be completable, Therefore no way to progress past that section and any further. The only way to get passed that section was to load a previous save game, save at the previous save point, skip the game breaking save point hopefully make it to the next save point without dying. Thus the puzzle was able to be completed and passed.
There was no way that WWE 2K20 wouldn't pop up somewhere in this video, but seeing footage from the NL boys was a pleasant surprise :)
Oh my gosh, I completely forgot about the Mass Effect elevator bug. I lost so many hours to that. Also, the last patch for the original Far Cry before the devs stopped supporting it broke the enemy AI by letting them see you through tents. Maybe not a huge bug compared to others on the list, but that game is already tough as nails without getting randomly sniped through canvas. It was only recently fixed in the GoG version, but before that you had to de-patch the game to fix it!
You forgot that those same enemies could also should you through solid walls.
I had a demo disc for Sensible Soccer on the SegaCD. When you load it up, a message states it requires 120 blocks of backup RAM (almost the whole internal memory) - but by then it's too late. The demo has already wiped every single save on your system to put its own save file there! Would it be asking too much to add a confirmation dialog? Or at least give you time to shut off the system before it gets wiped?
Burnout 2 on gamecube had a bug so bad it physically destroyed hardware. Instead of just using the Nintendo dev libraries like everybody else Acclaim decided to make their own for games accessing the memory cards. Only somehow they did it so wrong that sometimes corrupt the memory card so badly it couldn't even be reformatted. So you lost all your save data for every game on the card AND had to buy a new card. I believe they got sued over it but frankly, they got sued over so many other things I can't find any info on that one.
What in the world 😦
ok just watched like 10 vids of yours in a row. youve earned my sub! :)
BotW, my horse just stood on a rock and couldn’t move. Ghosts of Tsushima, my horse ran in circles and I couldn’t get off of it.
you missed Myth 2 :Soulblighter, a game that tried to erase the whole hard disc if it was not installed in the default directory, imo trumps almost the whole list
The one that angers me is Dariusburst CS on the PC. It launched in 2015, and STILL has a save corrupting bug with no simple workaround.
Wowee
Age Of Empires got a GBA relesse for some reason. So if you want to play a strategy game on a console not known for having a lot of strategy games on it, make sure you name your save file something with more than 3 letters. Anything less than 4 will make it completely unplayable. Unlike most games these days, it couldn't even be patched out, so they just released subsequent copies with a warning basically saying "Add an extra S if you so happen to wanna name it 'ass' for some reason."
All of these are perfect examples of why games and updates need to be thoroughly tested before being shipped to find obvious shit like this
Unfortunately, bug testing and making repairs is something both developers and publishers want to spend as little time and money on as possible. It’s only gotten worse with internet connectivity, what was the last new game you remember buying that didn’t have a sizable day-one patch?
Testing is not only expensive, but it's also quite difficult to optimise as you have to hope the people testing your game are actually smart individuals, not complete fucking tools. Valve had this issue where they were forced to idiot-proof Half-Life 2 because their beta testers were infamous for being incredibly stupid and incompetent (which was a shame considering that their fellow Washington State neighbours at Sucker Punch and Turn 10 had much better beta testers to call upon when their games were in a jam).
By contrast, Argonaut and their spiritual successors at Rocksteady had the opposite issue, their testers were infamous for being godlike at completing games with ease, which led to them inflating the difficulty spike of Alien Resurrection because their testers were known to finish the game with ease armed with only a pistol (which was the worst weapon in the game) and are one of the main reasons why the freeflow system in the Arkham games, is quite punishing for players who lazily mash buttons, as button-mashing in any of the Arkham games will lead to you fucking up your combos and counters, meaning that you'll get pummelled into the 9th circle of hell as a consequence.
@@MrBeardsley In the late-70s to early-1990s, you couldn't even hire beta testers, YOU had to test everything within a very short development time and what you coded was what you shipped, especially with cartridges as they can't be re-burned (there was some leniency with Cassettes, CDs and Floppy Discs, as you can re-burn the game code onto them). So if you encountered a massive game-breaking bug, you often had to scuttle everything or leave it in and hope to the stars that no one notices (which was done by making the game incredibly difficult on the finished levels to prevent players from encountering the buggy areas).
I recalled NES had cleaning kit to get the dust out of the game cartridges. I went through two of them when I was playing NES games.
Never experienced these bugs when I played Ocarina of time, Soul Calibur 3, and Batman Arkhym Origins so I guess I was one of the lucky ones.
Hi, I bought an empty ps2 memory card (8mb) coz I discovered about a bug in Soul Calibur 3, I unlocked everything, I never had it corrupted and I never had the save bug. How can I copy my SCIII save to the new one, Do I copy from the Soul Calibur 3 options or the Ps2 browser?
I was one of the "victims" of the Soul Calibur save corruption.....and back then of course you didn't know what triggered it.....I loved and love SC III to this very day, best SC game ever in my opinion, I put hundreds of hundreds of tons of hours into it and the day it suddenly couldn't load anymore was one of my blackest days in gaming :(
The Soul Caliber 3 Glitch happened to me, and because I didn't know what caused it, I quit playing the game, now I wish I still had the game, because now I know how to not get Glitched 😕
I found a different game-breaking bug in Batman Arkham Origins. I went through a door and fell through the floor. endlessly into the void. it took WEEKS of trying to load my save until finally it spawned me on top of the map again, by random chance.
How about the Pokémon X and Y versions where saving in the biggest city in the game would corrupt your save file?
saved there all the time never happened to me
Yuffie stealing all your materia then losing it all if you die.
I love bootini, it’s my second-favorite pasta after spaghetti.
Oh, I thought it was spooky mixed drink.
I remember way back in 2004. I saw a copy of PlayStation Underground. At a convenience store called Elgin Variety. That had the demo disc that Viewtiful Joe 2 was on. I thought about it getting it. Good thing I didn't.
Pool of Radiance: Ruins of Myth Drannor. When you uninstalled it, it would delete system files and I believe the Windows partition, wiping your computer. Good times.
there's also the bug which corrupts your save in Brütal Legend and makes it so the game can never load again. it happened to me after finishing the story, meaning I could never go back and complete quests, but at least I got through the story. however, I read it can happen at any point in the game...
ive had that happen twice on me
Just Cause 3 is the most broken game I've tried to play. Couldn't get past a very early mission where you had to give a ride to an NPC, he refused to get in any vehicle I'd bring him for 30 minutes, so I figured I was missing some kind of hidden prior requirement ... tried to do a 'roller ball magnet' mini-game thing aaaaaaaaand the magnet aspect didn't work at all and none of the mines I hit with the car or the magnet even exploded. :(
Heroes of Might and Magic IV had a horrible memory leak when it was first released, it slowed down to the point of being unplayable. It got fixed though, but people were rather angry about it since it was something the developers surely must have been aware of if they ever playtested the game more than an hour at once.
But did they? Because the game also had some odd design flaws. Experienced players of the series reported that they weren't able to win the very first level. The series always had the problem that you could play a map for a rather long time without seeing your enemy, only to find out that they had a much bigger army than you and you didn't have any chance against them - meaning that you had done things wrong already at the very beginning. But in this game the problem grew to ridiculous proportions; you would play it for four or five hours or more, and then find out that you didn't have any chances to win because you had made wrong decisions during the first half hour. Personally I gave up at some point.
I was playing Halo Infinite trying to unlock all the armor skins through the armor lockers in the campaign and for like a few days they failed to recognize certain unlocked skins on the customize menu. Its fixed now though.
The worst bugs Ive ever come across are from the game ARK. Now anyone whos ever played ark knows that the entire game feels like a bug no matter how epic the game is. I love it but Ive lost count the times where things have f%@ed up and done something horrible. Caves can screw you over and kill you with their weirdness, dinosaurs come and go out of existence on a whim. You will at time lose all your stuff and have no explanation on how you did it. but it still is a modern classic but one time it crossed the line when we were playing a modded server and it just stopped working making us lose the entire game we had start over. Still I loved that game
is tripe jump part of whatculutre?
I don't know if it counts as a bug but there is a game breaking design flaw in The Mummy Demastered. It is a great Metroidvania but it has this mechanic where when you die, a ghost-type thing of your character who had all your weapon and health upgrades. You had to get back to the point you died and kill the ghost thing to get your stuff back. Later in the game, you could die at places where it was impossible to get back to the point you died without the stuff you now didn't have. If you didn't make a copy of your saved game you had to restart from the beginning.
Love the voiceover in this!
What about Skyrim PS3, where the longer you played, the less playable the game became?
I'm surprised you guys didn't cover the WWF no mercy blood glitch
Peter…….. did you seriously just say .ini as a word???😂😂😂
Far cry games where throwing knifes stop you from useing guns
One you missed, WWE 2K, bricking your entire system.
As well as 2K's standard practice of only having online functionality for their latest game every year they have had the WWE license, without fail, have your data corrupt and unusable with no way to recover it. Not just any data for the one game, everything on your system full stop. Save data, screenshots, videos, updates, everything. The hundreds of hours pumped into into 2k14? Gone. Same with 2K15, 2K16, 2K17, 2K18, 2K19 and 2K20. They know about this problem for years problem is they just don't care. 2K's Cloud storage for save data has the reliability of a potato. Whether it be their WWE or NBA series or XCOM, doesn't matter. Every game they make, good ad bad, has their data corrupt and all the work and progress made is lost. That's potentially hundreds of hours invested into the one game when taking into account the creation suites or difficulty for nothing.
Out of all of the bugs for PC games other than the EVE Online Trinity bug, you guys picked Half Life for it's uninstall bug? Myth 2 had an even worse bug where it wipes your entire hard drive, not just the Program Files folder, but everything inside your hard drive, why didn't you guys pick that game?!
I did hear that if you uninstalled Marathon 2 (1.0) using the uninstaller, it wiped the hard drive it was on.
That would hurt lol.
Edit: It's Myth 2, not Marathon lol
The same thing happened with Bungie's other Mac game sequel, Myth 2. This was because their programmers found it simpler to code the game to delete the folder alongside the game executable itself, so if you uninstalled the game, the folder also goes with it, which can include the hard drive's /C folder. Didn't help that they began as Mac developers, so uninstalling their games on PC was particularly dangerous.
@@DR3ADER1 I think was Myth, not Marathon. Oops
I really want Simon Miller to make an appearance on a triple jump video
I know of quite a few other game breaking glitches, one of which isn’t so well documented!
Digimon World (PSone): non-English language PAL versions have a glitch where Agumon doesn’t talk to you when he should, meaning he won’t get out of the way and you can’t progress! I hear there’s a way around this, but it’s complicated.
Animaniacs: Lights, Camera, Action! (Nintendo DS): On level 12, the game crashes when a boss fight is supposed to start. It may only happen if you’re playing on a DS lite or anything newer (it came out shortly after the OG model DS and I bet hardware changes for the lite are why you hear “Here we go!” instead of “Yahoo!” when starting Mario Kart DS), but I’ve yet to test it on my OG DS.
Jak X (PlayStation 2): I hear many copies of this game, even budget rereleases, have a save glitch where it keeps saving longer than it should, corrupting your memory card! I don’t know which copy I should buy to avoid this glitch, and I hear it may only apply if playing on a 39000 model console or newer.
The Jak X save corruption bug occurs if you're using ALL versions of the Slim PS2 and a couple of fat model PS2s. If I recall, Flippy in his game-breaking glitches video (which was a follow-up sequel to his original game-breaking bugs video from 2014) in 2016, said that this was due to Naughty Dog being unable to test the game on all versions of the PS2 in time. Leading to the save corruption bug remaining on the Slim PS2s because they usually tested games on the fat model versions.
The only issue with the AC:Odyssey quest was the typo. It should have been "I, Diota" instead of "I, Diona".
Elden Ring if the netcode wouldn't be fixed for its release.
Anarchy Online broke my Windows installation......twice! and this was back in the late 90s where fixing it was a massive hassle.... easily the worst I've ever seen.
Anarchy Online was released in 2001. The bugs and issues faced at the MMO's launch were due to Fun Com rushing the game after they hastily cancelled the Xbox version due to Microsoft delaying Xbox Live by a year from 2001 to 2002. In fact, it was the hastily rushed release of Anarchy Online which heavily contributed to weary and sceptical players not reacting well to the initial announcement of World of Warcraft at Earl's Court, Kensington in September 2001, due to the bad blood earned from Anarchy Online's buggered launch period.
Playing through AC Odyssey for the first time now. I love it honestly, but def some bugs still 😂.
Definition of a tedious game
I just platinumed mass effect legendary and the lifts are not only bug free now but way faster even on the last gen consoles
I know its still in development, but the isle evirma made me leave the community, over a month of not being able to save a dino (basically the whole point being eat drink grow survive) and apexs taking 7hrs to grow, i could only waste a workday once or twice before i was done.
11:15 RIP Memory Cards
Why are certain games (ie. Returnal) rated PEGI 16 or T on some copies; but PEGI 18 or M on others? Is there a significant difference?
One example I can think of where there was a minor change was Virtua Fighter 2 for SEGA Saturn. Shun had a flask of alcohol in the T rated version, but did not in the E rated one.
Good question
Here’s my worst one, Fallout New Vegas’s Dead Money. I don’t really care for everything else about it, and I’d say Mothership Zeta from Fallout 3 was the worst… if it weren’t for the fact that a bug in the DLC causes the ghost people to have infinite fucking perception, making the DLC ass.
Do disk read errors count? Because Metroid Prime (Still a damn fine game by the way) has it in the first release of the North American version. It seems it can happen anywhere if the game is trying to load too fast but the two guaranteed spots it happens is when entering Chozo Ruins Furnace and when using the elevator from Tallon (Tallon Canyon) to Chozo (Main Plaza), I've experienced the latter. At least it didn't affect saves in any way and was fixed when the Players Choice version was released, still annoying though.
How could you not mention Age of empires on the Nintendo DS? Did you know if your game save is named anything less than 4 characters, it can brick both the game AND your Nintendo DS. And there was no fix - only a workaround suggested by the devs.
Damnnn that’s a lotta ways to lose your KH2 data 🥺
I Love SoulCailber III and hate it at the same time
You can recreate boot.ini manually and not formatting or reinstall anything. Edited and created my boot.ini countless times. Of course, you need something to boot on, USB etc. first and know how to write it
Ocarina of time totally loves me
The Ruby Heart glitch in Marvel vs Capcom 2 arcades was either the worst or best depending on who it happened to …. (Kappa)
Have your C drive specifically for your version of windows, separate all storage devices into separate partitions leaving only enough space on your c drive for windows. That way if anything happens, even similar to what eve online did - you are covered. Should be standard practice for anyone that has a PC.
Depends on how th e.g. Eve bug occurred. A program can still easily delete important files on separate drives/partitions. If you're worried about problems like this, a better solution is to keep isolated backups.
@@Erhannis very true, however not entirely relevant in this circumstance due to it being something that the game does, so wherever the game is installed is likely to the be the drive that's effected.
You deserve that for playing EVE Online
Love to see it!
Metro exodus self corrupted while I was close to the platinum, my back up meant re doing 8 hours of monotony. How is Odyssey on here but not Valhalla when it had main story bugs in it that forced you to reload saves anywhere from 5 to 10 hours old, plus some buggy side quests.
Also Arkham Knight for PC and obviously PS3 Skyrim.
Ah yes, eve online and the bootini bug.....I was playing during that
Fable 2 better be on here, most broken game of all time without patches.
If I thought I had to restart arkham origins with that hard ass final boss at the start of the game I think I'd be finished with it. No reason deathstroke should be that damn hard. Lol
Prey actually did the same thing to my PC a while back and completely wiped the boot.ini
Someone needs to talk about the console bricking Modern Warfare bug!
Screen goes black in the middle of game and you have to unplug the console!
I thought that was for the first Black Ops game?
How about the entirety of the Sims 4? Lol
Waiting for someone to say 'and, worst of all, in Fallout 76, if you do X, it starts Fallout 76'
Not a single mention of Fallout 76 haha.
My mass effect glitch forced me to kill Wrex every single time. Ruined the series for me.
Who doesn't quicksave for hours?
I think you misunderstand what “brick” means…
RIP Memory Cards
No fallout 76?
