I don't know if this is :can: but this is why I'm not really all that enthralled with Goat Simulator. It's just not as funny when the glitches are intended but in Skate 3 or wrestling games it's loving amazing because this poo poo ain't supposed to be happening.

Definitely, this happens even in normal gameplay where I can spend hours doing dumb poo poo in games like Saints Row 4 but the second the game wants me to do that same stuff, just in a more specific manner, I get bored by it. Games just seem more fun when it feels like you, the player, are the one taking control instead of following a guide.

As for actual on-content posting: Last night I ran into one in E.Y.E. Divine Cybermancy that I've been trying to replicate because it cracked me up and I need to capture it. Sprinting through a hallway I ran into an NPC who then flipped through the air and imploded. I don't know why, because normally they just step away from you if you run into them. But this guy just flipped up into the air and collapsed in on himself, it was great and I was laughing too hard to grab a screenshot :(.

Yeah, I'm with the guys who aren't really entertained by games like goat simulator, because half of the fun of glitches is the feeling that you're breaking the rules in some way. You're doing something you're not supposed to do and seeing something you're not supposed to see.

I remember playing World of Warcraft before Cataclysm, where you couldn't fly flying mounts in the vanilla continents, and finding weird spots in the landscape that would open up and let you explore all kinds of cool places you weren't supposed to be in. Yes, all I was really "doing" was just walking around, but I felt like I found the goddamn closet to Narnia.

What they need to do is to develop a game that has just a whole universe of weird rear end glitches and crazy poo poo you can do, but hide it under a very thin, very easily breakable facade of a "regular game" so that producing those glitches is both very easy and makes you feel like a little kid getting away with breaking windows.

Pre-cata WoW tended to have tons of weird little goldmines of hidden and unfinished areas. My favorite will still be the upside down sinners area of karazan and I'm sad they closed it off for good now, from what I hear.

It doesn't appear to have fixed existing customized weapons, though. I have a rubber-bullet firing SMG with a silencer I can't put on it anymore.

So people who already have bullshit like a shotgun-spread rocket launcher can apparently still use it!

Yeah, they didn't bother resetting weapons. They might as well have left it in and just made it so customized weapons couldn't be used in the FOBs anyway because slapping a silencer on a tranq sniper of choice just basically trivializes all of them. Even if they get alerted you can just walk around shooting them in the ankles and letting them pass the gently caress out one after the other. The ankles have no armor. Faces either.

likewise they half fixed the glitch where you could finish one mission early and get no rank on it, forever locking you out of the S rank completion rewards. Now the things you have to destroy always respawn when you do the mission. However they didn't reset the ranks of people who got the null rank.

I can't believe that someone would buy the game in one of the most expensive editions only to sell it so quickly. I suppose they didn't budget for it when they put their preorder down?

A lot of people are illiterate or something and thought they were legit pipboys and got really, really upset when it was just a strap for your phone like advertised.

That happens. There's an area where a deathclaw leaps onto you from a cliff above, only it missed me and kept falling. Then it'd reappear at the cliff top and fall through the world again. It didn't stop until I killed it and its rag dolling body start flying around the cave.

President Ark posted:

I think the closest thing I've seen to "gamebreaking" come out of Fallout 4 is thatthere's a really strong gun you can see in a locked case in the vault you start the game in and it needs at least 2 points in lockpicking to access, except the dog companion you get ~10 minutes later has the ability to fetch items and is capable of grabbing the gun from the case, but even then that's less "completely break the game to your whims" and more "have a really powerful gun way earlier than you normally would"

Cryolator isn't that great. It's basically a flamethrower if I remember right from the like three minutes of testing I did when I grabbed it, and early on you're so fragile that the slowed movement speed and limited range of it means enemies will just shoot you in the face before you can hurt them with it. It seems like it's mostly a novelty weapon. What is kind of gamebreaking is that there's a legendary modifier that doubles your damage if the enemy has full health. By default stealth attacks with guns make you do 2.0x damage as well, plus whatever the critical attack modifier is. Get an instigator modifier on a sniper early on and you can just snipe loving everything since crits don't ever miss and the doubled stealth critical will just destroy everything.

In FO4 one of your companions is supposed to give you a perk that adds +25% headshot chance in VATS mode.

I think people in the fallout thread were saying it actually adds 2000% to your headshot chances, it's just impossible to actually display 100% for whatever stupid reason. The conversation system is the same way, you could have 10 charisma and wear charisma gear but you still won't have an actual 100% chance at dialogue trees, just 95%.

Was playing Skyrim, and a mammoth clipped a ledge and shot straight up in the air about 20 feet. Not too uncommon for things to randomly fly up into the air in Skyrim though, so I wasn't too surprised.

Then it came down and stuck the landing on top of a second mammoth.

Unfortunately the mammoth stack only lasted about three seconds and I was laughing too hard to get a picture.

I don't know what it is with mammoths but before I uninstalled skyrim it wasn't uncommon for every mammoth in the area to just spawn in the sky after I came out of a cave, and it was specifically caves, so I'd come out after killing spiders and hagravens or whatever and just see a dozen mammoths rain down. My computer did not enjoy it, but I did.

And when it did come out it was just a weird (but good) Krull kinda game, mostly forgettable.

Pretty much. It has a bunch of cool ideas except the devs are really, really stupid and constantly gently caress it up and get super defensive any time people point out they hosed up, there's a bug or did something they explicitly promised they wouldn't do. I fondly remember one point when they made the first, and mandatory, level of the game the hardest one in the game. Then banned a lot of new players who popped in to say "This is a cool game but I literally can not beat the first level, I'm not going to keep playing."

Alternatively, you'd think it wouldn't be hard to program fatal drops with a perimeter that only allows you to fall down if you walk either straight through or back down over the edge or press a button or something.

It could even trigger a teetering animation, rather than just let your character briskly walk off a platform at a 10° angle to the edge. It would make many games with lots of levels and janky controls much more enjoyable.

Though if this thread has taught me anything, the teetering animation would probably get stuck on permanently.

Or just get rid of fall damage. I've never played a game that had no fall damage and thought "You know, this game would be better if I lost my health every few minutes because I didn't want to walk down all these stairs".

It's so bizarre to me how they never quite got it to work that you pick up something up off the table and everything a foot away jumps.

In some places the items aren't ever actually on the surface, they're hovering like a millimeter above the table or whatever so when you take a fork every other item will just freak out and fall, bounce and physics around. It's really annoying in some locations because you'll enter a loading door, and then every object will drop that tiny distance and promptly roll through the world where you can never reach it again. And gently caress you because that happened to be the one item you needed to steal for a quest line and you can still see a tiny bit of it, but you can't physically touch it without using console commands.

Just to make it better; taming a dinosaur takes literal hours even for relatively minor investments. Like, four hours for a level for poo poo dinosaur that any jackass can stab to death. Every official PVP server is basically owned by giant tribes that systematically ensure no one can tame anything or get beyond stone tier. Stone used to be the point where you were pretty much safe because short of explosions, nothing could break stone easily. Then they introduced a dinosaur that could just eat stone. This is fair and balanced.

Also a lot of people were mad about the DLC because the game its self is a buggy, poorly optimized thing and the DLC costs money.

Terraria is a good game. It's the only crafting game that's ever clicked with me and I played it a ton, though I spent 90% of that time on the single-player. You can pick it up for a song nowdays and I think the multi-player is reasonably active.

I will try and backfill this post with a good vid of Terraria glitches. To start with, you could make an infinite water/lava machine and flood your whole world.

And, if you don't want to play with randos, then you can just grab a bunch of copies for like five bucks and give them to your friends. Because it's a cheap game that goes on sale a lot. I think the fact that it's a relatively small scale game is the biggest reason why it's so easy to get into and most people who play it aren't as high strung as in like, Ark or Rust. You can start a new character and it doesn't take long at all to get back up to the level you were at before, and there's relatively minimal investment needed to reach the bosses and various tiers of gear. Whereas in like Ark, you have to keep playing for hours to get past the basic tiers and then it takes no effort for another player to just take it all away from you and you have to start over.
