Fun glitches and bugs in video games

Jamesmac

I'm kinda bored, so I wanted to talk about glitches and bugs you might've found in any video games you've played recently.

Right now, I've been revisiting Sonic Adventure DX, and weirdly enough, in Knuckle's story, after you've beaten the final story, for whatever reason you'll find another Knuckles alongside Dr. Eggman lying on the ground in the Mystic Ruins near the Master Emerald! This is probably an artefact from a cutscene used in the final story where Chaos has attacked Knuckles and Eggman. Scarily, though, if you move around, the cutscene Knuckles on the ground will jerk his head around in the same direction the playable Knuckles is moving!!

    The Money Rock thing isn't so much a glitch, but rather a deliberate programming decision. An easter egg, if you will.

    And the Halo 2 example... that's just an example of flawed game design lol

    I like that it was like ww due to the familiar feel almost like I could have a similar experiance but on the big screen 

    Many people didn't like the new super Mario Bros. Games but I love them all although I'd say wii and u(deluxe) have the most to. Offer

    The earlier games really are classics. New Horizons definitely leaned more into the custom aspects of the series, rather than just a life simulator. Some people disliked that.

    I do recall however that Let's Go To The City / City Folk on the WII was unpopular when it came out as people thought the game would be set in a city, whereas in reality it was a bit like WW but with a city shopping centre attached.

    I feel like the GC ds and Wii animal crossing games. Whisky more limited seem more fun than the 3ds and switch games. 

  • In Fallout New Vegas, in some of the earlier copies you can get free, unlimited fixes from Major Knight with the Confirmed Bachelor Perk. I think it was patched up in the later copies and digital downloads. 

    Not so much a glitch, but it is surprising how much of Halo 2 you can skip by just running past everything, good way to avoid Sacred Icon when not feeling in the mood!

    Once again, not a perk but not many people seemed to know at the time that you could hit the "Money Rock" in Animal Crossing Wild World compared to the more recent games which have given heavy hints. Likewise in the Game Cube version you could get £30k daily from Tom Nook by giving him a code. 

  • I saw a funny oblivion moment where the guard finds a body and say hmm body's still warm... The body is in lava haha 

    I had a moment on bus sim 27 where a passenger got stuck in the seated position with no seat 

  • One incredibly famous glitch is the Infinite Sword glitch in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.

    If you continuously crouch stab while near a sign or interactable NPC, if you push A to interact with them mid stab, the game will think the sword is still in the middle of an attack animation despite the fact the player isn't attacking, causing the sword to leave a trail as if it where being used as the player walks around. The sword also has it's hit box active, too, so whatever touches the sword, the game registers as an attack, meaning you can cut grass without actually using the sword with the B button, or deal damage to enemies by just standing next to them. Strangely, jumping off of ledges is disabled while the sword is in this state, though.

    The glitch also works in the game's sequel, Majora's Mask as well, if I remember correctly

    Indeed! Sometimes the limitations of hardware can contribute to some pretty fascinating bugs!

  • Hello  

    Video-game glitches can be truly fascinating - it gives a real insight into the technical design of these things! You can do some amazing stuff with the SNES and memory dumping once you begin to understand how memory works with the system.
