Favorite game glitches

[Patrick]

So in a hint of nostalgia I loaded up Pokemon Red today and picked up an old save I saved to my dropbox from ~2009. I already caught all 151 Pokemon and I'm sure I've demolished the E4 at least 20 times. I checked my inventory and noticed the 6th item was a stack of Rare Candies well beyond 255 and it brought back some memories.

I think my favorite glitch would be the Gold/Silver/Crystal Box cloning glitch, or the Emerald Battle Tower clone glitch. Share yours

Well my favorite glitch is actually not technically a glitch. I love the "Silent Hill Corrupted" compilation, where someone created in-game glitches with the Corrupster program.

Here's the full video if you want to watch:

But if you don't, this GIF I made from it about sums it all up.

...Oh yes. Yes this craziness can.

As for actual game glitches, the only one I've actually encountered in my own gameplay that I've really taken notice of was some really annoying glitches in the Harvest Moon series that totally corrupted my game file. There was some other random translation errors that were pretty amusing but not really glitches and none that stick out in my mind.

Never gotten any glitches in The Last Of Us myself, but I've seen some on game plays on YouTube that were pretty horrific and amusing, haha. Prime example:

Twilight princess jump across the void glitch or wave dashing

The FIFA series as always been prone to having a glitch or two aswell. While it is getting better, you do get a few odd moments in your gameplay shall we say.

Sometimes when your looking back at an older game, the glitches can be one of your favourite things to look back on more than the actual game itself.

Prince of Persia glitch: I'd climb on a ledge, and suddenly the whole world would teleport into another dimension of grey hollowness. The vacuum was such, that when I broke free, I'd fall in grey water, and start swimming in it.

Now, the only way to get out of that was to restart the game from the previous checkpoint. I believe it was Sands of Time.

Every FIFA glitch.. ever

and the spinning head thing in Fallout: New Vegas.

Just watch KSI's glitch videos

Haha, I've had tons of glitches in sports games before. I guess I've been lucky when it comes to FIFA and haven't had those.

There was a glitch in GTA V online to pretty much get some easy money.
It was a job you did and got 30k every 5-7 minutes.

Was the job where you have rounds of enemies come shooting at you. You where able to "jump" behind a wall. You could see and shoot the enemies but they couldn't shoot you. You passed all the rounds 100% and got easy money. I got over $14 million this way xD

The hidden merchant chest in Skyrim. There is actually several of them and I think most coincide with the Khajiit merchants that travel around. Skyrim.

Some of my favorite glitches are from Call of Duty 4 because they were so fun to get into and mess around in them with your friends. Some of the glitches were kind of just bad but they were still fun.

 

[BethSztruhar]

Oh, I just love the Sims 4 glitches. I even have some pictures because I thought I have to save these for....future purposes...

So, in Borderlands the Pre-Sequel, one of the classes has a passive skill that does literally nothing except cause Handsome Jack (the antagonist of the second game and the anti-hero(?) of this one) to say a snarky 'inspiring' quote, followed by the text 'Inspired' flowing across the screen with some effects.

This can trigger at any time, even during other characters story or quest dialogue. This is bad the first time you play through, of course, but the game is designed to be played through several times, and the situations it can cause are absolutely hilarious.

Here's an example. (mild warning; loud laughter towards the end)

My favorite to this day has to be the "Shaun" glitch from Heavy Rain, where the character you're playing has no option but to yell the name "Shaun" over and over again in a hilarious troubled yell.

I remember the first time I saw it, I laughed so hard my stomach was sore the next day. Besides that, a less funny but more useful glitch I like is the double hit glitch in Dark Souls. If you can get to a boss from a higher point, and do a leap attack with the right trigger while performing a drop attack with the right bumper, you can get a double hit on a boss and do massive damage. It's pretty satisfying.

I don't exploit glitches to be honest. What's the point of playing a game if you're just gonna one-up the system to make the game easier? Like when I'm playing Skyrim, people always brag about being able to have a Sneak of 100 during the tutorial by exploiting a glitch, then what's the point? After that, the game becomes too easy, and you'll just end up restarting because you got bored. Also, exploiting merchant chests to get easy money would make early game easy since you don't have to save up for items. It's sad that people use it and then complain that the game is not challenging enough.

My favorite glitch is one from Resident Evil 5 which lets you have infinite shotguns and I'm not talking about the ammo but the actual weapon, there is a part where you go downstairs and find a shotgun then if you exit the game and save you will appear at the top of the stairs having the shotgun you already picked up, I came to have like 45 shotguns to sell and make a lot of money.

My favorite glitches are the random ones that tend to happen all the time in the older NBA games. Sometimes when you fell, you literally got stuck onto the floor and couldn't get up which resulted in the A.I. getting terribly confused... or the glitch where you randomly land inside another guy's crotch.

My favorite exploit type of glitch would probably have to be the Bloodborne one where you use it to get unlimited blood echoes. Free levels.

I hate those kinds of glitches where it makes the game easier. In Witcher 3 you can kill a bunch of cows in the tutorial area for an unlimited amount of money. The devs fixed this by sending an overleveled monster to kill players who use this glitch. It's a level 40 beast, and at best you are level 5 in the area, so of course you're gonna die.

I want to experience glitch but i just can see one.

Haha, really? I didn't know that and I played Witcher 3, although not right at the launch.

Yeah, the game glitching or I prefer to call it ''exploiting'' isn't really my preferred way of playing games. I only know about the Bloodborne glitch because I was once looking for a video on a boss tactic and saw a ton of videos about unlimited blood echoes. I only tried it once for a character and it did work but the game was then not challenging enough. Therefore, I agree with you

During the White Orchard quests at the very beginning, you can find cows in the farms and you can kill them for their loot. You meditate, the cows respawn. Do this until you get so rich you can buy any item and upgrade every item you have in your arsenal. You can basically cruise through most if not all game because of the bonus gold you get this way. Totally ruining the game progress, but hey, some people like it easy.
