TOP 10 FUNNIEST VIDEO GAME GLITCHES PART 2
Nobody’s perfect.
While some games can be hailed as masterpieces, they’re still a piece of technology at the
end of the day, and sometimes, they’re susceptible to flaws.
Or rather, glitches.
While there’s some glitches out there that are actually pretty useful, like the Mario
Kart wall clipping, others are a little less fruitful and a little more hilarious.
So today we’re counting down the top 10 funniest video game glitches, part 2.
If you haven’t seen part 1, definitely head on over there after this video, it’s filled
with some pretty good chuckles.
10 Mount and Blade: Warband’s Face Sky Starting off this list with something absurd,
we’ve got Mound and Blade: Warband, and it’s giant sky face.
Face sky?
How exactly does one define this monstrosity?
That’s some nightmare fuel, right there.
So this jarring, invasive sky face face sky is a texture glitch that replaces the regular
sky with some dude’s face.
And ears.
Can’t forget about those ears.
Many fans have debated that this actually isn’t a glitch, and was an intentional prank
put in by developers of the game.
9 Resident Evil 4 - Ashley The Pro Wrestler Aside from notoriously being one of the most
annoying characters in video game history, Ashley from Resident Evil 4 not only sabotages
your rescue mission - of rescuing her - she also makes you groan during one portion of
the game where you have to play her.
But there’s a silver lining - due to a glitch of a move that was suppose to be Leon’s,
the protagonist you play in the game, she can pull a suplex, killing it.
Developers eventually fixed the bug, but for those who had a copy of the game with the
glitch, it always makes Ashley just a tad more bearable.
8 LOTR online chair glitch All aboard the chair train.
Literally.
In potentially one of the more fun glitches on this list, LOTR online has a great little
glitch that allows you to zoom through middle earth on a chair.
This of course prompted some good ol trolling where players would find another player at
random and follow them around in their chairs, forming a chair train or tail.
7 Crysis Land Sharks Sharks aren’t that scary if you don’t
go into the water, right?
NOPE.
Not the case with Crysis.
Where the sharks seem to be invading the beach.
By surfing on top of it.
And trying to kill you.
It’s insanely funny, until you know, one of them kills you.
This is typically prompted by attempting to interact with the sharks while standing at
the shore line.
One of the purposes of the sharks to begin with were to keep the player within bounds
of the game if you attempt to swim out too far, but turns out they have no problem chasing
after you on land, and sometimes tag team their effort, attacking you in squads.
Yup, deadly hungry shark squads.
6 Wolf Among Us If you’ve played TellTale’s The Wold Among
Us based on the comic Fables, you’ll know that protagonist Bigby is a fairly attractive
dude.
Broody, gritty, and bit of a bad boy with a dark past.
Turns out he flaunts that attractiveness in a glitch during Episode 3 of the game when
he’s being patched up by Doctor Swineheart.
When he goes to put his shirt on, the glitch can cause Bigby to start gyrating and dancing
on an invisible stripper pole.
According to Nick Herman, the games director and senior cinematic artist, this glitch is
applicable to other characters as well.
Have you guys encountered this one with any of the other characters in the game?
5 Mafia 2 - Mama Misplaced textures are a common glitch in
video games.
And sometimes have incredibly comical yet unsettling consequences.
In this particular instance, in what normally is a sweet scene between a mother and her
son whose just come back home, has now become something out of a horror film.
This particular texture glitch occurred on a 2013 MacBook air, and it left mama not looking
all too well, along with giving Vito some trend setting frosty tips.
4 Red Dead Redemption - The Dead Face Glitch Red Dead is another game that has a ton of
different glitches throughout, but one of the funnier ones is the Dead Face Glitch.
Essentially what happens is when you die, or when a NPC bites the dust, their face will
contort in a quite hideous way, disfiguring their noses and eyes, and sometimes causing
their teeth to float about their head.
This is one that occurs mainly on the Xbox 360 console.
3 GTA 4 swing glitch Also known as the car cannon, this glitch
in GTA 4 effects a few different swing sets in Liberty City.
And it catapults you from it with great force.
It’s not just when you’re in a vehicle though- some players have figured out how
to get your body flung up into the air as well.
The most famous of these swings is located in the Firefly Projects, and it works by pushing
your body or vehicle up against it, and sometimes completely deforms your vehicle once it lands.
But you can still drive around in it.
2 WWE 2K14 This game is chalk full of hilarious body
glitches.
Hands through stomachs, crotch lighting, chains through heads, become a deformed monstrosity
in the crowd during a fight.
And most infamously, contorting arms.
Making one of the best response gifs out there.
WWE 2K14 has a whole slew of body glitches, some very obtuse and others just borderline
terrifying, and despite receiving decent reviews, some saw the game as lazy and incompetent.
1 Nuclear Gandhi This one takes the number one spot because
of it’s wonderful ironic brilliance.
It’s even started a meme.
So, if you’re unfamiliar with this one, in the Civilization series Gandhi is one of
the characters in the game, and he has become notorious for being a warmongering nuke dropper.
Yep, Gandhi loves those nuclear weapons.
He drops more nukes than any other leader in the game.
This is all due to a bug that occurred when developers gave Gandhi a low aggression score
- a 1 - so the character would better reflect his real life counterpart.
So when you adopt democracy, your aggression drops by 2, so of course, when Gandhi adopts
it, instead of it going to negative 1, it loops back to the high score of 255.
Hence the desire to bomb the crap out of everything and everyone.
While this was the case for the first Civilization, developers kept it around as an easter egg
since it had become a popular joke amongst players.
