Raw power always gets fucked by the meta.

I remember that in Crysis there is a bug that prevents you from finishing the game. Basically, a script starts if you spend a few seconds too long in the deck of the ship at a particular point, which causes the next scene to occur and locks you out of getting the gun you need to fight the last boss. It was never fixed and if it happens then you either have to reload to an earlier checkpoint or restart the mission.

about a year ago i reinstalled fucking skyrim and if you remember how the interface puts up the key that's supposed to correspond to an action, well it's still completely incorrect like it was on release like it might tell you the take all key is f but it's actually e, or vice versa. also esbern's missing sound files was still a thing and i had to download them from somewhere else and manually add them. for all the people that still play this it and what, two special re releases later it's completely unacceptable for such obvious problems to just be left there flapping around like that.

I "acquired" skyrim at release and accidentally a key that advanced the main quest and had to unlock the door via console hackery

no idea if you can still drop important quest items

Gabe newell himself said that day of defeat source will have the map avalanche allies flag 2 capture point fixed after tf2 shipped in 2007. It's been 11 years since gabe himself said this and still nothing.

Gothic knights weren't even that bad because of 2 handers, it's because they had fucking abysmal stats - literally worse stats than feudal knights. When you buff their stats appropriate for their armour and weapons they rip through other infantry.

Old games, Med 2, Morrowind etc. tend to have shit balancing, but on the upside it's extremely simple to balance the games yourself.

probably fappin on his exercise ball

>>15669726

any mods you'd recommend that fix morrowinds god awful balance? I heard morrowind rebirth tries to balance the game but I haven't tried that one yet.

asking because my server host friendo is going to make a morrowind server when the multiplayer update comes out, and he seems interested in making pvp competitive instead of the overpowered fuckfest it is currently

I remember this because it happened to me. Max difficulty mode, fighting final boss till I completely ran out of ammunition only to realize that I would have to reload because it's a bug.

>>15669744

no, but it wouldn't be hard to do yourself. It's just a matter of tweaking cost and damage values of various spells, weapons and items in the construction set.

It's just a feature

>competitive Morrowind PvP

Lmao this must be what the retarded flailing clickspammers on hxc Minecraft servers grew into.

>Old games

Knights of Honor plays much better and it's 2 years older

I swear I remember some weird as shit bug in Warcraft, or maybe 2, where if you fuck around with the sound files you can trick the game into thinking enemy units are yours and over the billion different rereleases I don't see any notes claiming to have fixed this. At the same time though I can't seem to find any evidence it ever existed in the first place.

Reminds me of Rome Total War 1. Orginally there was a bug that archer units charge defense was equal to their ranged attack, so if you charged cavalry into an archer unit, they'd be slaughtered with the archers losing very few units. took them months to fix it.

The most recent one: Aliens Colonial Marines typo, fixed by a modder.

The Gnasher inconsistency from Gears of war was fixed in the remaster and later games. This was fixed by a different studio, the Coalition, not epic games the original developers.

After over 20 years in development, Team Fortress 2 still hasn't fixed flamethrowers clipping through spawn gates at certain angles.

The typo in the code?

>>15670051

Yes, a single typo in the code screw up the alien IA in the game. Just search yourself.

Pudding farming in Nethack

>Hoth DLC in Force Unleashed consistently crashes game

I think we have gone too far in a few places.

> Fixed years later

Sins of a Solar Empire Rebellion was that it was bound to one core. This was fixed many years later by the developers, the game runs somewhat better as a result. Good game in my opinion, using Enhanced 4X Mod typically.

I got another one that from Rockstar himself: The headless zombie bug in RDR Undead Nightmare. This bug was caused by the last update for the multiplayer part. No way you can play it right with the lasted patch and the Xbox one version is totally screwed. To make it playable the Addon you have to delete the patch.

In New Vegas the Dead Money DLC Perk In Shining Armor does nothing because it was mistakenly tied to the DMG type Energy instead of EnergyWeapons. The Lonesome Road perk Certified Tech has a math error where the crit bonus actually reduces DMG as it is listed as a multiplier of 0.XX instead of 1.XX. Neither bug was fixed by the devs, but the mod YUP and other standalone mods fix them.

You remminded me that the Arcade Gannon quest about his Enclave past still has bugs for unlocking and its better to just activate it via console.
