Isn't WoW pretty much a terrible conglomerate of of "in jokes," tears, and the ghosts of social lives by now anyways?

I'm pretty sure the script for that game had some kind of glitch that inserted the word 'dark' into every sentence.

edit: After a while it just starts to sound like "dart miss".

This was something I found out recently - supposedly using a Gameshark on a Donkey Kong 64 cartridge would cause weird problems like in this video:

Not that impressive, but apparently if you save, you can permanently corrupt the cartridge's save file!

There was also a way to get into Undercity by climbing the outside of the castle and falling through to a high ledge. It was a good way for Alliance to get into the city without having to deal with the elevator guards.

Any particular point of that 17 minute video I should be looking for?

Having a hard time finding the video of the Dead Space glitch where they shoot the top half of Isaac off while walking into a cutscene. Anyone familiar?

They inherited an engine where the engine speed was tied to framerate.

- Bethesda is no longer using Gamebryo and the hilarious bugs and jankiness comes from their inability to program, not from the underlying engine.

It's the From Software thing- people want what they're making, and they're the only ones making it, so their poo poo sells like hotcakes even if it kinda sucks in a couple of important ways.

Dark Souls 1 was borderline unplayable on PC without DSFix, a mod that was cooked up in less than 24 hours that solves a bunch of issues (locked rendering resolution, unskppable idents on startup, bad textures, the mouse cursor being on screen) that the game had at launch. The game initially routed all of its network play through Games For Windows Live, which, holy gently caress why. Also it turned a lot of people off by bragging about its difficulty so much, which made a lot of (stupid) people think that they had to take on the first boss using the tutorial weapon, and probably contributed to a lot of ragequitting.

Dark Souls 2 threw out the beautifully compact interwoven, practical, physical world map of the first game (which was probably the main understated selling point for me) in favour of a sprawly dreamworld thing that makes no goddamn sense. It fixed a lot of negligible gameplay gripes and tightened up a lot of playstyles, but I had no loving clue what I was doing in that game. I'll probably pick up Scholar of the First Sin edition at some point and play through it, but I tried the vanilla version a bit after launch and found it so... confused, I guess, that I put it down and haven't touched it since.

Bloodbourne is PS4 exclusive which just pisses me off because it looks amazing.

But the persistent being on fire?

I thought it was funny to be able to carry on a conversation with Leliana and she doesn't even notice that she's on fire.

if you don't want bugs, code your game competently and there won't be any when it's time for release. exactly how many times to developers have to do the exact same thing before they learn?

New Sonic games suck because the people working on it don't care about it, and the people who care about it a lot shouldn't be allowed near it or within 500 feet of schools.

The Homing Suitcase reminds me of another graphical issue in MOBA type games. There are some short range abilities that 'home in' on the target,but they are done at such proximity or so fast you really don't see the Homing effect.

I had a look at my old youtube videos while I was grabbing that and found some minor thread content that didn't require messing with the game's files; a locker right at the start of the horrible game Chrome: Specforce which will kill you if you run into it because it clips into your head
