This avatar helped buy Lowtax a new skeleton.

I played some far cry 4 with my brother.
We found some bugs: http://youtu.be/0E1HUtpSmZk?t=23m11s
It's kinda bad quality.

Also another bug we didn't get on tape was when I talked to a trader and my screen turned black except for the UI, the trading menu never opened.
Couldn't open the menu or the map or anything, I tried aiming based on where I was looking at via the minimap.

For whatever reason I fired up Skyrim last night on the 360 and started a new game. After the logo fade, instead of enjoying a nice carriage ride to Helgen everyone was just stood in place outside of it. The guards were still on horseback but standing still. Myself, Ralof, Jarl Ulfric, and the horse thief were just standing there. I could move freely but couldn't do anything because my hands were still tied. And this being Skyrim, everyone had their eyes locked on me the entire time and followed me as I moved like one of those creepy paintings. No one talked, no one moved, they all just kind of stood there. I felt like I was backstage before a play or something and everyone was just waiting for the cue to go on.

I did want to play a Bethesda game, I guess.

You just know that one of these bugs (this or the one where the carriage just rockets into the aether never to return) has happened to some player somewhere, the first time they ever turned on the game, having never played any other bethesda games before.

I always figured their reputation for bugginess kind of preceded them at this point, after stuff like Oblivion and the Fallout games.

That happened at one point too in a separate game. Hearing the characters talk so casually while breaking the sound barrier was awesome.

I bought New Vegas on release day having only limited play with FO3 way after its release. It was such a buggy mess I was going to return it but I got too lazy. Thankfully they patched it up because it turned out fantastic. But I think we should all know by now to never buy Bethesda on release day.

Playing through Black Flag again when I board a Hunter ship from an awkward angle. I notice as I'm fighting them that both they and the ship are slipping away from under me. Eventually I'm pushed overboard, floundering in the water, and helplessly watching the Jackdaw sail slowly away, all the while towing the Hunters behind it. The Jackdaw then sails through an islet, beaching the passenger ship at an angle and dumping her crew. I swim closer and I'm teleported to the takeover screen, still askew.

When the dragon attack started, and I was running away, I got caught in an explosion and died, had the ragdoll and everything. Then I got up and continued like nothing happened :confused:

It's been a long time since I played Skyrim, but I'm pretty sure you can get ragdolled without getting killed, and the game cuts to third-person because staying in first person would likely cause motion sickness (or clip the camera through the floor).

Thank you, I've been trying to find this video again for ages. The way everyone keeps calmly talking as the cart blasts off into space--I guess that's just life as usual when you live inside a Bethesda game.

Unless you're marked essential somehow and do the "down on one knee" animation I don't know about that, because you lose health if you just stand there and let him blast you. Granted, probably less than you should lose up against Alduin.

If you gently caress around long enough after Alduin attacks, he will murder your rear end. You will get ragdolled by his Fus Ro Dah and your bindings will be loosed temporarily, but you will dutifully put them back on when you finally stand up. I don't think I've ever died to his fireball before but there is enough room for him to land in front of the barracks and he will grab you and throw your corpse around.

I feel like sometimes I'm in an alternate reality, because I've never had Gameplay Screwing Up bugs in any Bethesda game. Sure, I've had crashes, but the actual gameplay has always been consistently playable. If anything, the game tends to get more unstable with mods for me.

I got myself Hack 'n' Slash from the Steam sale, and its entire gimmick is based around glitching things out by editing object variables and such. You start off just being able to change basic properties, like for a gate you can change its state to closed or open. Eventually you get the ability to change the game's LUA scripts, presented as a kind of flowchart puzzle thing, which if you're like me means you introduce fatal errors. Do that, and the game gives you the actual error message and dumps you back to the last good state. And then you get bombs that can change the scripts behind nearly any object in the game. I'm still trying to figure out the damage I can do with that.

I don't think I've ever gotten any bugs that made the game unplayable, mostly just crashes and "huh that's kind of weird." The closest I've gotten are bugs that make certain quests impossible to complete and those are fairly rare.

Personally I like it when weird unpredictable poo poo happens in my games like that, so I don't mind as long as it doesn't completely break the game.

Looks like you can still get it for $8 as a basic sale. If they had it as a flash/daily for cheaper, it'll definitely pop up for that price again by the end of the sale. This is going right on my list of super-cool-looking indie games that I stick in my inventory and then never play :allears:

That's not what gaslighting means you hyperbolic dipshit.
It's beyond me how those bugs at the beginning of Skyrim are both so common and so varied. I mean... at that point in the game there are literally zero variables unaccounted for.

It would be one thing if all those bugs happened after you'd had a chance to mess around for a while, but that scene is the absolute very first thing that happens after you click "New Game -> OK."
