Gen 1 Pokemon will always be one of the greatest examples of glitchy messes that are too fun to break and fuck with.

Elder Scrolls and Fallout probably also go in this, as common as they are. Both for glitchy shit happening all the time and having exploitable systems. Especially Morrowind.

HL2. Once you figure out how to go fast you just can't play the game normally.

autists are still playing the game 18 years later thanks to sakurai not thinking much about sliding when you airdash the ground

A lot of old-school RPGs have some sort of item duplication glitch. Baldur's Gate has a glitch that lets you shoot 90d6 fireballs at people with a level 5 spell slot, amongst other things.

You can get the max amount of possible exp in Might and Magic VI by completing a quest inside a tiki-themed building and just accepting the reward over and over again. The only thing stopping you from becoming a god is that leveling up requires money, so then you have to focus on getting sheqels to become stronger instead of fighting enemies.

Crash Twinsanity had numerous glitches, allowing you to skip most of the game, ones you can easily find in speedruns. But this was the really fun one, allowing you to take Cortex anywhere, including areas where he was supposed to be as a cutscene character. It had some weird effects, occasional softlocks and some fun effects.

This video is shit fucking quality but I remember this being the one I used back ages ago.

Climbing wall mines was great.

>>16368766

fuck you I was going to post these

Twinsanity is still a fucking fantastic game though despite all its flaws

Hitman Silent Assassin had the sliding glitch allowing you to skip most guards without a disguise. As well as the animation skip glitch to kill / incapacitate people faster, again avoiding detection.

Pokémon gen2-4 to a lesser extent. Pomeg glitch, void tweaking, etc. can alter gameplay

Pokemon is completely glitchless with normal gameplay.vsome moves are bugged or not programmed right, but they aren't exploits

I never encountered any as a kid. The game worked flawlessly. It's like Super Metroid - it only breaks if you go out of your way to damage it

>>16379042

He's actually kind of right. You aren't likely to encounter anything major during a regular playthough, that's how most Nintendo games are. >inb4 it's not Nintendo but Gamefreak

Another good example is Mario 64 versus Sonic Adventure. Mario 64 is possible to break wide fucking open, to beat outright in five minutes but the most you're likely to encounter in a regular playthough is some wonky collision (ground pounding through enemies, mainly) and that stutter when you land on an edge sometimes. Versus Sonic Adventure, which is impossible to play without going through the ground at least a couple times, or the ring-dash outright not working, or something else going wrong. SA is less buggy all around but you're most likely going to run into something major by just trying to play the damn game.

He's right you double niggers. It's the case with most Nintendo Games, they playtest the shit out of them for all normal gameplay scenarios so they all appear polished as fuck on the surface but as a consequence of them putting so much focus and effort on regular gamelay mechanics they're usually easy to break if you do shit they didn't intend for you do to That's what makes glitching so much fun. Compare that with the average Bethesda game where the game itself is one giant bug

Although in Generation 1 of Pokemon you do run into some glitches during normal gamelay like one move was bugged so it only took 1 HP at a time and the 1/255 oversight but these are bugs that nobody even realized were bugs, not even playtesters at the time

Any popular/recognizable game that is speedrun and has a glitchless category likely has a glitched category.

DK64 gets crazy with wall clips

OoT and MM both have a whole lot of glitches that really change things up

Pick one.

Also this thread is about games that have glitches that you need to go out of your way for.

I don't know if it was fixed later on, but in the Game of the Year edition, you could open any door and bypass any computer with only one lockpick/decoder by opening the menu long enough so the progress bar would be complete. Also you could carry heavy objects without wasting your energy by picking up the object, facing a wall and then disabling the strength augmentation (since the object cannot be thrown away, it just gets stuck in your hands). There's also one section of the game where you are rewarded with XP for entering a code in a keyboard (I think it's when you're trying to get onto the boat in the naval shipyard) - you'd get more XP every time you entered the code.

Naw I call bullshit. I was about to come in to this thread specifically to list Sonic Adventure. You can play the game normally and not notice anything major, but if you want to start fucking around, you can do fun stuff like getting pretty much any character into pretty much any other character's levels or versions of levels. Also tons of sequence breaking if you get good, but I half think that a lot of that was intentional.

>>16368435

FFT has an easily exploited glitch that lets you get tons of job points without having to grind for them.

Link's Awakening had a glitch I remember using a lot, where if you open the menu when moving maps you could go through walls and stuff.

SWAT 4 is infamous in how rock stupid your squad is.

Moves work as programmed. It doesnt matter what the programmer intended, everything is working as it should. Youre like the faggot that makes up new rules every time he's touched in tag

How fucking retarded are you

fucking what

System Shock

If you run headfirst into a wall whilst wearing skates in a crouching position and change to a standing position as you hit the wall and save at that moment. The game reloads your position when you save and you will clip through the wall, you can skip a huge amount of the games content in this manner.

It gets even worse in the source port that Nightdive recently ported the game to, because now you can simply lean and wiggle your mouse and kinda just slide your way through walls/doors, you can also grab items and push buttons through walls too, which means for the mining laser mission, you never actually have to enter most of the rooms needed to complete that mission if you know where to lean through the wall.

>>16368590

I think the real icing on the cake with Half Life 2 is how that game spent years in development and not once did anyone at Valve consider what might happen if a player was to jump on an object they were currently holding.

>>16368583

This just looks like the standard speedrun bullshit that happens in 99% of games out there.

>>16379088

Can confirm. Once in Sonic Generations in an underground corridor boss i went through the walls and broke the 2D plane lock just playing through the game normally. All sorts of script breaking, falling through level geometry, etc. And that's one of the more polished game in the series.

The only time for me it happened with nintendo games was either me going out of my way to imitate a glitch video online, or one invisible black hole in SMG, a well timed bomb in Twilight Princess launching Link out of bounds to walkable terrain that's barely modeled, or in BOTW me going out of bounds against that invisible wall and somehow getting close to the northern cliff then clipping through a 1 HP damage death floor (mist in a bottomless pit)… only to meet a OHK death floor just below it (the bastards really accounted for almost everything)

>>16385664

Would this be possible irl?

>>16385848

Of course, even if they want you to believe it isn't. But it doesn't work with everything, it's a lot easier with buttered toast stuck to a cat's back unbuttered-side-down, where the larger force of cats always landing on their feet and the smaller force of toast always landing buttered-side down cancel each other out partially and make a slower falling object. A platform made out of feathers should work too, everyone knows those are light enough.

Sage so the mods won't see and ban me for telling you these secrets.

The most exploitable games are RPGs because RPGs have atrocious game design. Playing normally in an RPG is boring as all hell, so the only way you can hope to have any fun is to fuck about with their poorly thought out mechanics and effectively attain godhood. This is because they adapt the mechanics of tabletop RPGs, which are designed to be played with friends whose characters provide interesting dynamics to the gameplay, the ability to create homebrew races, classes, spells and areas, and most importantly, a gamemaster who actively bends the rules as you play to create an enjoyable game.

The best RPGs are all multiplayer: Everquest, DAoC and even shit like World of Warcraft are better than any singleplayer D&D game. Player interaction makes these RPG mechanics more tolerable, and there's actual roleplaying to be had, unlike the storydriven faggotry that are isometric RPGs, or the broken mess that are first-person RPGs. ARPGs would be better if they dropped the RPG bullshittery.

The souls series has always been speedran to death, and glitches have always been part of it, but Sekiro is easily the most bullshit it has ever been in such a short time. DS1 has been exploited to the point the kiln can be accessed by a bug, but it took years to find. Sekiro hasn't been out for two months and the world record already exploits a bug that allows to reach water while out of bounds, swimming from Ashina castle to Guardian Ape, collecting the lotus, then swim to the folding screen monkeys, killing them while still technically underwater. The game is basically as easy to break as Skyrim.

Has anyone played Sonic 2006 without experiencing a glitch and eventually using it to make progress? Is it even possible?

>>16385848

Not since it got patched.

This >>16385909 fucker probably plays on an outdated private server

>>16385848

Why would you got trough that effort when you can just levitate by T-posing?

Capcom's Final Fight about-turn punch.

>>16381760

It seems to me a lot of really enjoyable gameplay mechanics, particularly ones with a lot of depth to them happen as a result of what was originally glitches in the game. A lot of advanced mobility in shooters (bunny hopping, rocket jumping, surfing and skiing in tribes) seem to be basically glitches that were turned into gameplay features.

>>16409276

The concept of a difficulty curve itself was the result of a programming oversight as well.
