RatHat posted:That sounds very exploitable. Nah, usually the other characters hide way too close to you to get in anyone else's way, but it is pretty funny watching them run in front of guards who just don't see them. Makes the stealth doable, they run around like loving morons most of the time.

Yeah, you have no control over the NPCs, so if the enemies could see them the stealth system would be completely broken. I totally understand why they set it up like that and agree with the decision but its still kinda funny to catch in a no-win scenario.

I had one glitch in Last of Us last night. The game has some really nice enviromental close combat moves, like for example I attacked a guy who climbed on to a tipped over bookshelf as I was crouching next to it, which caused Joel to grab his ankles and yank him down. But sometimes it becomes confused. I was fighting a guy standing in a pool of water and got the finishing move where Joel stomps on the guys head, which caused his body to shoot out of the water like rocket, flipping all over the place.

The very first enemy I killed in The Last of Us fell backwards and his head got stuck in the wall. Then the rest of his body flipped into the air and spun like a propeller until his head came loose and he fell to the ground.

I just spent 45 seconds watching a guy trying to walk through a doorway, not realizing that he was making no progress because Ellie was crouching in his way. Today's Penny Arcade is on this AI flaw.

Kennel posted:Crossposting from Dwarf Fortress thread Dwarf Fortress has the absolute best "glitches" aka "emergent gameplay". Stories of how a fortress got an elf for a king whose background went back like 1000 years, when his parents were killed, and how he ruled over various civilizations which crumbled. And how he made his own battleaxe from a mood which he used, exclusively, to personally handle any military threats. Since he was an elf, he couldn't be assigned any orders but for some reason just did whatever he wanted which included, eating, ruling, and killing the gently caress out of anything that came. Just a perfect storm of bugs and glitches in that game. Like I had a yak, for some reason, never die despite being slaughtered but whenever he was slaughtered he would just sustain a wound to a random body part. So, basically, the butcher would randomly slice off a bit of the yak and let it walk around until the next meal. Eventually I gave it a little hole to sit in next to the butcher's shop as an infinite source of meat but eventually it finally died for real after feeding a fortress of like 60 dwarves for 5 months.

WHAT A GOOD DOG posted:Dwarf Fortress has the absolute best "glitches" aka "emergent gameplay". If you follow the dev log for the game, the bugs that come up are amazing: "Okay, there are dwarves walking around, though it's next to the wagon with the equipment that immediately explodes into clouds of boiling bronze while the dwarves flash between the dwarf and bar symbol wearing no-material clothes, but there are dwarves walking around." "Stopped people from giving quests to kill themselves." "I went through and fixed a few places where forbidden/on fire weren't being respected for next time. Burning milkable creatures were still a problem for example." "Got rid of world gen crash during succession after death of prolific long-standing position holders with inbred descendants." "I had to leave just before I tested the dwarf with the boiling gold blood." Edit: And I found one example of "emergent behavior" from an interview with the developer: "The one that always comes to mind is the executioner story, where the hammerer was injured, couldn't hold his hammer, and so bit the prisoner to death and then walked around with the guy's arm in his mouth for years."

See, it's stuff like this that makes me enjoy stories from DF or SS13. You probably wouldn't get stories quite like this from some AAA title with a million dollars tied up in it and fantastic graphics. Skyrim's glitches sometimes come close, but there's just something so much more enjoyable about these tales that require me to picture the events myself.

The mindset that every single moment of the game must be carefully designed, verified, polished, and approved by the creative team makes that sort of thing nearly impossible. No one has the confidence to create interdependent feedback systems and just let 'er rip because if the game does something dumb or frustrating of its own accord they believe it reflects badly on them and their future sales. Of course, the problem with the games that do take that approach is that they become way more fun to read about than actually play.

Playing AC: Brotherhood, I did an aerial assassination on a soldier but kinda bounced off a tree. Ezio gained upward momentum and went on a beautiful skyward journey (stuck in the "falling through the air to kill a man" pose), which gave me some great views of the world so that's cool.

This is pretty close to what you want: http://lparchive.org/Dwarf-Fortress-Boatmurdered/ Boatmurdered was a fortress that was passed on to a new player every in-game year. It should be noted that it's from a time when the game was 2D, nowadays you can build up and down instead of just into the side of a mountain.

Wasn't that not actually a bug, but more a deliberate reaction Toady put in to test for...~something~ and forgot to remove it? Or come to think of it, I seem to recall it not making it to release. I could be wrong. DF history is murky enough.

I had that happen, too! Ezio tried to jump onto a horse that a guard had just jumped onto and for a few moments freaked out between the "get onto horse" and "pull guard off horse" animations and then just gave up and decided to do this instead: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0gRiyzsObbU He eventually floated over to a cliff, but instead of falling or getting stuck, went straight up. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5b_oTL0xD4 Time passes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z3tGFF8azyw After around two hours (I went and made tea and watched TV for a while to see just how high Ezio would go) he finally reached the top of the world: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tmStXYY348g Bonus video of some immortal guards I found one time - at 14 seconds I manage to actually jump through the guard I'm attacking. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XIQeeCXLaBc

This isn't nearly as severe of a case but same idea. There's also a couple of more normal throws in the video too. http://youtu.be/NeanrJtksK8?t=1m17s In Skyrim I also happened to accidentally fling one of the immortal flagged Stormcloaks over the inner siege walls of Solitude during the invasion quest in the Stormcloak civil war questline. A lucky fus roh dah pushed him right into a hill and caused him to bounce up and right over the wall. The only thing that could have made it better is if there was a subquest to find a way to open the siege gates, but they already were open. Parts Kit has a new favorite as of 05:54 on Jun 21, 2013 |

Once I was trying to use the blacksmithing forge in Whiterun while Adrianne was using it. So I kept spamming the interact button which usually makes her stop and get kind of shoved out of the way when it goes into the smithing screen. Somehow she got shoved so violently (or maybe hit some object I didn't see) and got launched straight up into the air. I saw her land behind me in the background of the smithing menu and crawl around on the ground a while since she was almost dead from the fall damage.

Had a pretty good one last night on Just Cause 2. Found a Baby Panay Statue but had had no explosives to blow it up with, so I decided to airlift in a Razorback and blow it up because why the hell not? After doing so, the military comes after me and I drove off towards one of the faction bases. I obviously hit people and cars along the way but suddenly started hearing this really odd noise coming from the tank. After reaching the base, I hopped out and looked in front of the tank. Apparently one of the motorcyclists that I hit didn't go flying but the motorcycle got stuck in the front of the tank, and was currently halfway in the ground. With the guy still driving it and attempting to drive forward through my tank. As soon as I stopped and got out, though, he got off the motorcycle and ran off. Damnedest thing I've seen from that game so far, besides the whole ability to kill myself before ever launching off the ground with an airplane. That's not a glitch though, that's just bad piloting.

I wish I had gotten to see this, somebody commented in the Last of Us thread that he watched somebody playing duck into a bathroom to hide only to have the floor texture disappear and then turn white just before Ellie went "Oh, gently caress." I can picture the timing in my head and it's hilarious.
