The Matrix: Path of Neo had bloopers in the extras. Here.

True. Especially linear story games

Yeah, and they were actually pretty funny. I would much rather have mocap and voice actor bloopers than technical glitches

One of the best features of The Orange Box was playing through levels in a directors cut mode and listening to the devs explain how they designed an area or what challenges a character or sequence presented.

Man, I had a frustrating experience in Portal 2 after the fall where we had to portal to a platform high up on the side of a wall, even with the light I still spent too much time trying to portal every other surface I could see before finally looking up!

The last 2 God of War games had their development bugs put on YouTube

God of War 2018

God of War: Ragnarok

And made it infinitely funnier by recreating memes with the characters of God of War

SmartAlec105 6 points (1 child)

It's fun to imagine the devs having fun by doing this.

It's also funny to imagine the devs being forced to do this because of pressure from the executives.

"Ugh, finally I can head home. What? They want me to do another TikTok dance? Fuuuuuuuuck...."

"Hey guys, I know we're in serious crunch mode to get this game ready, but we need you to take a few hours to recreate memes that'll only be used in promotional videos on youtube to humanize the studio instead of content that'll actually be in the game."

Goat Simulator actively advertized that if a bug didn't break the game, they left it in.

Bethesda is the Neil Breen of gaming in this aspect

keaganwill 2 points (1 child)

I'm honestly curious to see how much this joke when remains in 50 years when they finally release ES6. Starfield despite being comically unfun, was one of the least buggy AAA releases in a decade. Which is wild considering how rushed the final portion of production was apparently.

Thornescape 1 point

Absolutely true. Despite all the grief that Starfield has gotten, it really does run exceptionally well. I am not a big fan of a lot of their decisions, but it is the least buggy Bethesda game I've ever played.

MidnightMath 1 point

Nah, itā€™s the people who mod Bethesda games who are the true Neil Breens.Ā 

Fallout: The Frontier is a prime example.Ā 

Memoa192 4 points * (edited 2h ago) (6 children)

Dude, the Bethesda joke is top-notch. I remember playing Fallout: New Vegas on Xbox 360ā€”I typed my character's name, stepped out of Doc Mitchell's house, and it crashed my whole console and my Xbox couldn't even read the disc or install it.

In Skyrim, I couldn't even get past the opening scene when the dragon destroys the tower. I kept getting one shot and launched out of bounds every single time, even after restarting.

That's what I got for playing day one discs of both on the Xbox 360

What is your name drop_tables or something?

Memoa192 0 points * (edited 2h ago)

No just normal names you typing like "scout64" or "soldierboy229" from TF2 you know how Bethesda games works fully buggy

Kitselena 3 points (1 child)

If you haven't already, New Vegas is really worth revisiting on PC. There's a community bug fix patch that removes all the crashes and a ton of other annoyance that's really easy to install. There's also a patch you can apply so the loading zones are almost instant even on a weak PC.
Applying both of those takes about 20 minutes, but once you can play the game bug free it's one of the best RPGs of all time. I've never seen another game with a world connected as well as the Mojave, and almost every single quest has multiple ways to complete it. The story and world building is also really good so it's fun just to explore even when you aren't progressing the story

I was so upset at New Vegas when I'd been enjoying it for 30 hours, then got the main stoey breaking bug of not being able to enter inner New Vegas. I more recently learned that Obsidian only had like 11 months to make the whole game using Bethesda's game engine, so it's a little more forgivable.

Memoa192 1 point (1 child)

So true Even in Skyrim I had my save it was around 210 hours of playtime And the save got corrupted and have to play the beginning again all rare items and weapons lost..

Arthropodesque 2 points (1 child)

Was that on PS3? I learned many years later that it had that problem from repeated Sjyrim saves. I saved a lot in Skyrim. My PS3 would have problems playing new games. They would freeze or have no audio. It was infuriating.

Memoa192 1 point

It was on xbox 360 too i was frustrated losing that save i only had one save and I didn't know it would corrupting my save so yeah..

A game developed on Bethesdas buggy ass gamebryo engine on a rushed schedule at Bethesdas request. Sure it was obsidian but they used Bethesdas tools, assets and base code.Ā 

Most of the Bethesda glitches are due to Bethesdas in house engines which have basically been the same one just with new paint for the last 20 years.Ā

I kinda like the random, weird bugs that happen in Bethesda games. Like, would Skyrim be the same without a random mammoth air raid? Or walking into a room and all the objects jump around like you just surprised them?

We were testing our software's license system (crested by our sister team) and the trial license grays out the software options but you can still open them...which you are not supposed to do. But no worries, once they're open you can't create a new run...except the run is still created and if you go back and re-open the option, now you can see it and open the run. But no worries, it doesn't let you start a check....just kidding the start button is grayed out but you can still click it.

That's all pretty fucking funny, but I wouldn't want to advertise that our sister team is full of amateurs who don't test their own shit.

CEO: ok guys and gals, we made 200 games that since costed us 14 Billion Dollars with all holdings now devalued to a penny stock as we closedown more studios we didn't even know we still have running, after our first ever 3.5" 750KB diskette launch of TwinWorld on the Commodore Amiga in the late 80's that costed us .75 cents of busfare and a couple of recess breaks during our French music and art class, we have yet to top that platformer GOAT that some hail to be as memorable to this day as first playing on the NES, does anyone have any unique ideas? Do I have to keep laying you off? what's going to happen next decade when the public no longer has any disposable income nor assets to ever purchase another DLC ever again? What am I going to do?

I remember Bungie mentioning in a blog post that while developing Halo:Reach there was briefly a bug where if you made a custom game mode which turned all vehicles on a map into mongooses, all of the security cameras on one of the maps would also turn into mongooses.

I had a playlist ona CD that was Halo outtakes and the best one was Cortana seductively saying ā€œbetcha canā€™t hit it master chiefā€ right before everyone busts out laughing. One of the best memories I have of that game

I remember Cyberpunk had a video lined up that they were going to release just after the game launch with all the weird development bugs but with how abysmally bad the game was at launch they back tracked on that pretty fast.

There was a magazine (damn Iā€™m old) that would interviewed devs about crazy bugs they encounteredā€¦

There was one in Oblivion (oh look, Bethesda) where the guards in the Cyrodil Prison would go murder the prisoner. Turned out, they were running out of food, so they would go down to the cells to take the food from there, and opening the door would cause them to aggro the prisoner and murder him. This is why there was food EVERYWHERE.

I was a QA tester on Dragon Age: Inquisition and I had a bug during a boss fight that made the bad guy turn into an infinite giant, like his head was outside of the sky box. I was able to recreate it just once and got video of it, but the devs couldn't recreate it themselves and so closed the ticket. I tried so hard to recreate it on the release version but it never triggered. We weren't allowed to plug in USBs to our testing PCs so I couldn't save the video, either. Still sad about that one.

One time in Skyrim my character glitched out and I was permanently laying down sliding across the floor. The best part is when you talked to people they actually looked down at you šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚

I think the name was Future Cop LAPD had some silly shit in the credits. Not really true bloopers but kinda made up ones.

Also how to multiply a game's size

As fun as this would be, people very much underestimate how many bugs are present in games during development, and the more complex the game the worse it is, physics engine being an endless pit of glitches.
