But players who dared pop it into their PlayStation 2 while their memory cards sat in the console were treated to a nasty surprise. See, other demos on the disc would do nothing harmful. But the Viewtiful Joe 2 demo would actually reformat and delete every single saved game file on a player's memory card. It got to the point where Sony had to release a public announcement about the demo disc's glitch. Not exactly the best way to introduce Viewtiful Joe 2 to the public.
And we have a feeling that part of this title's lukewarm reception apart from it not being an amazing game had to do with the horrors of the demo disc. Players could, of course, avoid the glitch entirely just by removing their memory cards prior to inserting the demo disc.
All things considered, the demo wasn't even worth it. And yes, the glitch would affect multiple memory cards. Woe to all families back in who had an overeager young brother stick the demo disc into the family PlayStation 2. As you'll note for most of these entries, many of the games here are great titles. But it was particularly infamous for its game-breaking save corruption glitch, which threatened to upend hours upon hours of progress in the game.
A bug in Soul Calibur III 's coding meant that if you decided you wanted to clean out your PlayStation 2's memory card by deleting an older game off of it or you just happened to have older games on there like most people do , you would activate the glitch. All would be well and fine. You could go weeks before this glitch ever reared its ugly head. The game would function normally. But one day, you would go to load your save file, expecting to continue playing as normal.
And you'd come to discover that your entire save file had been corrupted. All your progress, gone. Imagine a PC glitch so bad that it actually broke your computer. You don't have to imagine anymore. For EVE Online this was what many players experienced when they bought the Trinity expansion back in late For those of you who aren't especially tech-savvy, this file was necessary in order to boot Windows. So you'd destroy your entire operating system just trying to load Trinity. While the developers quickly made amends with fans and eventually released detailed instructions for how fans could save their computers, but it was a rough start to the expansion pack's release.
Moral of the story? Stay vigilant and back your PC up whenever possible. The fact that this game made it on this list should be no surprise to anyone. Assassin's Creed: Unity was especially infamous, both due to its rushed release date and a plethora of bugs. Some of the more infamous? Character models wouldn't render properly, leaving characters without faces or random NPCs would collapse inward on themselves, devolving into expressionless crotch monsters.
Or there would be times when you'd leap, only to find yourself stuck in the air or falling through an endless pit. There were so many bugs that Ubisoft eventually released a public apology, but it was too late. While the series is still producing new titles, Unity is still considered one of the worst titles in the series.
But there is a bright side. We have enough memes and compilation videos to circle around the sun five times. The Shivering Isles was Oblivion's first major expansion pack. And while it was otherwise a fun experience, allowing players to embark on a mad-cap adventure where they had to help the Daedric Prince Sheogorath, one serious bug prevented players from even being able to finish the game at all.
What this bug would do is make it so that after playing for dozens of hours, new items would stop spawning. See, scripts in the mod for some of the new NPCs introduced in the game would use up internal ID codes within the game. These ID codes would normally be allocated to forming new items. But as they exhausted the space on these codes, players would eventually get to the point which varied based on their frame rate- the higher the rate, the quicker they would experience this glitch where new items would no longer form and they would be unable to finish the game as planned.
A patch was eventually released for PC as Bethesda developers caught onto the problem. Xbox players were advised to create a new character and hope for the best. While Pokemon Red and Blue are among the most fondly remembered titles of the original Pokemon series, they were plagued with a number of bugs and glitches. One of the most infamous bugs, though we could almost make an entire list comprised of just bugs in these two games, was the Missingno glitch.
Missingno was easy to encounter through normal gameplay. When players did come across him, often by surfing along Cinnabar Island's shore, they'd be greeted with a buggy mess of a 'mon that either took the form of the ghost players fought in Lavender Town, a fossilized Aerodactyl or Kabutops, or a backward L.
If players caught him and why wouldn't they? He was Bird and Normal type and if you're not familiar with Pokemon, bird wasn't a type Pokemon were supposed to have.
It was dummied out of the game and replaced with Flying. His individual characteristics and the form he appears varies on the player's name. While catching Missingno will corrupt your Hall of Fame data, he also has the ability to multiply whatever item is in your bag's 6th slot. So say hello to a million Masterballs or Rare Candies. But sometimes, it's been known to actually corrupt save files and the overworld, causing scenery and NPCs to glitch out.
So encounter with care. How Missingno works is through a bug in the game's Pokemon generation system. Certain areas in the game are coded to generate certain 'mons. For example, when you're wandering through the grass near Pallet Town, you'll encounter Rattatas and Pidgeys because that's what's coded to generate there.
Within the game's coding, despite there being only Pokemon, there are Pokemon slots, with all other slots beyond the actual Pokemon being filled with garbage. When players encounter Missingo by surfing along Cinnabar Island's shore you have to be careful to stay right on the shore , the game isn't quite sure what to actually code and it'll pull from those empty, garbage slots, rendering Missingno.
Final Fantasy is like most long-running video game franchises, not immune to glitches and bugs. See, the character Relm had a special ability called Sketch. With this ability, she was supposed to be able to paint a copy of an enemy in order to use the enemy's powers against itself. It was a nifty tactic, but it was all too easy for things to go horrifically wrong. It was all too easy to trigger the Sketch bug. If Relm missed her target or ended up trying to Sketch something that was next-to-impossible to actually Sketch, a variety of things could end up happening.
Sometimes the effects veered towards mundane, such as freezing the game or causing some graphical hiccups. But at their worst, the effects were game-breaking. Relm might accidentally end up duplicating random items in your inventory, which would cause the game to crash. Or all your save data could be randomly deleted from existence. Play the game "incorrectly".
Games testing occurs with a focus on playing the game "correctly", following a set sequence with expected outcomes. You can turn this on its head by playing it the opposite of what may have been intended, such as approaching things from a different direction or angle, trying to invert the usual things or simply pushing the boundaries when most players wouldn't bother. If you're not afraid to die in the game, you can probably find quite a few strange things out!
Try pausing. If you're in the middle of an action, stunt or activity, sometimes pausing might confuse or change things for you. It's worth a try. This action is more likely to be useful for older games. Part 3. Try again. Go back to the exact part of the game where you encountered it last time. You may need to try several times before seeing the glitch again; pinpointing exactly what causes it may take time to refine. Keep trying.
Just because you don't get where you want to the first time, it doesn't mean you can't get there. Use some of the suggested places from the section above. Go and visit some of the areas of the game that are more likely to contain glitches, such as rocks and big scenery. Stay alert when playing. Don't actively look for glitches but be alert for the possibility as you enjoy your game, noticing anything that doesn't fit in with the normal gameplay.
Most glitches are random accidents that you stumble upon. They may be present while in regular single or multiplayer modes, depending on the game type.
The most common type is simply a game crash. In 3-D games, clipping through walls at angles is common. In 2-D games, a popular glitch is a way to enter a different layer. Graphical glitches, too, are a common and interesting bug. Yes No. Not Helpful 2 Helpful Glitches can be found in any type of game--they are the result of coding errors. Not Helpful 3 Helpful It is a classic game that can be bought or played via emulator.
Not Helpful 2 Helpful 6. Include your email address to get a message when this question is answered. Learn how to jump precisely. Landing on your target is a valuable skill. Repeated jumping bunny-hopping can sometimes have a glitch effect on a game. Helpful 1 Not Helpful 0. Try pushing another character or animal into something and then walking through that person or beast. Or use the character or animal to climb on, ride on, batter through something, etc.
Helpful 2 Not Helpful 0. Most things are scenery. Say you jump on a curtain above a building, you will most likely fall through. If on an obstacle otherwise unreachable, then ledge climb around instead of going through the middle. Utilize any special jumps when trying to jump farther than normal. If speedily jumping to places, then slow down and let your jump recharge after each jump to see if this helps your cause.
If the game is multi-player and public, you can report the glitch to the developers. They'll fix it. Submit a Tip All tip submissions are carefully reviewed before being published. Glitching is not hacking. However, glitches that enable you to obtain items that you'd normally pay hard cash for, such as coins or stars, may be considered a form of theft by those managing the game and you may get banned for abusing it. Helpful 18 Not Helpful 9. A game may stop loading properly after you've exploited a glitch.
Or items may stop existing or actions stop being possible after exploiting a glitch. Welcome to discussions. Quick Suggestions. Share this Post Facebook Twitter. Show topic in unread. Not Watching Do not notify me of new replies. Show topic in unread if category is not ignored.
