7 Embarrassing Bugs Games Embraced with Excellent Results

[@johnoneil9188]

Juggling in fighting games started out as a bug where you could hit the enemy again while they were in mid air. Now it is a fixture in fighting games to this day.

[@hackcubit9663]

The same can be said of straight up combos. The first Street Fighter wasn't supposed to let you do it, but a glitch allowed for it, and it's been a standard ever since.

[@Daniel_Coffman]

It even is sort of why Devil May Cry exists; at least I heard. Onimusha Warlords had a glitch where you could juggle the enemies, but they removed it because it didn't fit what they were going for for the game. They did keep the idea and turn it into Devil May Cry, though.

[@kmc4682]

They have video about that already

[@workingjoe8167]

You are becoming hysterical.

[@shawnfields2369]

@@Daniel_Coffman Uh, no. The original Devil May Cry was created because they had all these ideas when they were creating RE4, which had deviated too far away from what a Resident Evil game was supposed to be, so instead of scrapping those ideas, they took them, and turned it into Devil May Cry, which released for the PS2 in 2001.

[@NecroCritic]

You know how in Space Invaders, the enemies move faster and faster as you kill them? That was caused by a processing error. That one bug created the very concept of difficulty curves.

[@Redhotsmasher]

Less of a bug and more the CPU just not being fast enough I believe.

[@anon_y_mousse]

@@Redhotsmasher Yeah, the CPU wasn't fast enough to process at a normal pace with everything on screen. The fewer enemies on screen, the less it had to process, and the faster the game got.

[@andyb1653]

More of a technical limitation than a glitch or bug, but yes.

[@LimeCultivist]

It’s a feature that’s still used in plenty of shmups, and they’ll even program it in on purpose. The more bullets on screen, the more slowdown, making it possible to dodge really dense patterns (just look at some CAVE games for an example)

[@kg4wwn]

[@adamnewman6846]

[@Ryvaken]

Honestly expected that one to be the top of the list. Few bugs are as iconic as nuclear Ghandi.

[@guyfierieprotectorofthesau6089]

@@Ryvaken it wasn’t a bug though, in Civ 1 nukes are tied to science, and India’s wouldn’t have standing armies due to pacifism, making Nukes there only form of attack or defense.

[@Arcknight]

@@guyfierieprotectorofthesau6089 not true. It’s totally a bug. Ghandi had a 0 aggression score, and one of the upgrades you could get reduced opponents aggression via diplomacy or something, rolling their aggression to -1, which flipped it back to max 255. So ghandi would instead use nukes as soon as humanly possible no matter what.

[@Merlewhitefire]

This was actually debunked by the makers of the game. No such system existed.

[@strikemyoutube9338]

I feel like the lag that caused Space Invaders to have a scaling difficulty needs to be mentioned here. It was always intended to run at one speed but lag caused it to slow down early on until you clear enough enemies. Now it's not only a staple for Space Invaders but for basically every other game.

[@FastForwardPlans]

Yes that game accidentally invented the concept of a difficulty curve. While that idea seems obvious now, our creations are based on real life, and real life never quite works out with a easy mode to get you up to speed so that you can slowly get better at your own pace. So if that bug didn't happen, its possible that the modern gaming landscape would have been entirely different.

[@pokemon5678ification]

outsidexbox has a video called "7 Glitches That Became Beloved Features", Space Invaders is on that list.

[@MatthewDoel32]

That would’ve definitely eventually happened regardless.

Isn't the entire Goat Simulator game based on someone having the conversation: "hey, boss, we found these glitches..." "well are they funny?" "pretty, yeah." "damn it man, then it's a feature!"

[@Arkalidor]

That's not what I heard. The version I know is "hey guys, we're rookie game-developers, just trying stuff out, and we wanted to try making our own physics engine. So here's a demo. We put a goat in it. It's a bit shitty, but please try it and tell us what you think" And then, the internet said "MOAR!!!!" and the game-devs said "Okay then."

[@Minilena]

I used to study in the same city as the devs are in, and they gave a really good lecture about it! It was basically a 2-week game jam where they were trying out a new game engine, and they encouraged everyone who had an idea to just go for it :) They then put up a mock-trailer in the uni fb group, and it sort of went viral from there, so they decided to make an actual release.

[@michaelpirrone]

@@Minilena All true. But they intentionally only fixed game-breaking bugs, leaving in all the others for fun. Example: get Devil Goat, then lick Slender Goat, then ragdoll yourself.

[@L16htW4rr10r]

[@Midwoka]

For added context to the FF6 one, Phantom Train didn't have the Heavy property because he was undead, and undead bosses in Final Fantasy games are typically supposed to be insta-killed by spells or items that revive your party members. If he was Heavy, he would've been immune to Life/Phoenix Down, so... =)

[@jaredcrabb]

Do you mean it would have been Heavy instead of Undead?

[@AndSaveAsManyAsYouCan]

NERDS!!!

[@Alsebra]

​@@jaredcrabb, I think that something with the Heavy tag is naturally immune to Life/Phoenix Down, not that it would replace the Undead tag. Now, whether a *ghost* train would qualify for the Heavy tag or not is still up for debate, I figure.

[@jaredcrabb]

@@Alsebra True. But I figure even as a ghost, if theyre standing on it it has mass.

[@Alsebra]

@@jaredcrabb, perhaps it can selectively make parts of itself physical to allow a physical being (most often a corpse/skeleton) to be transported? During the battle, though, they've "disembarked".

[@jaredcrabb]

​@@anon_y_mousse Normally yes, but you can Suplex it, much better.

[@rollanddev]

The Behemoth SR's second form is undead, making it also beatable via phoenix down. Of course, the classic vanish-doom/vanish-petrify combo's easily accessible by then, so... Not sure how the Phantom Train was actually *vulnerable* to Suplex, though. It was just a good all-around move at that point in the game for causing damage, lol

[@FonzietheCapybara]

No mention of Gandhi? I'm actually impressed that isn't on the list!

The firewall gun in Rise of the Triad was also said to be a bug during development but they decided to go with it anyway.

Starseige Tribes initially had you using vehicles or hoofing it across massive landscapes. It was noticed that rapidly pressing the jump button would remove the friction with the ground.

This became known as “skiing” and quickly turned the game from the intended slow vehicle based tactical squad shooter into a frantic super high paced gravity ballet, and it became the main mechanic of the franchise.

In the first Ninja Gaiden for NES, losing to any of the last three bosses sends the player back to 6-1 instead of 6-3 like intended. This was initially a bug, but the developer left it in to increase the challenge.

[@DanMarston117]

I don't know if the pistol counts from Halo CE. A last-minute coding change threw the damage all out of whack and we got the legendary destroyer of everything we know today.

[@Elriste]

Another great example was skiing in Starsiege: Tribes. It was originally a physics glitch, but it was so popular that it became a core feature in all future Tribes games.

Terraria had a glitch called the Hoik where triangular sloped blocks can be made to propel the player at high speeds along its path. This creates a new form of rail transportation that allows travel to the ends of the world faster than most other methods. Combining Hoiks and wire mechanisms, allows complex computations such as calculating addition in binary and converting it to a decimal display. Relogic kept this glitch in the game as a feature because of how much potential it opened up.

Kinda disappointing that they renamed it to "Diabolic Whistle" in the FFXIV version of the fight. Also think they should've had a certain FFXIV character that's famous for his suplexes come in at the end. Seems like a missed opportunity.

[@DavidJones-tp7td]

In the original Space Invaders the enemies' speeding up as there were fewer onscreen was a glitch. The processors of the time couldn't handle the load so the beginning speed was due to lag.

Is it really “intentional” when EA has glitches in their games at this point?

[@thegreatpineapple4425]

Honestly, I've been having a really bad time with EA and their broken software recently. Saw that the whole Mass Effect trilogy is finally on Steam and decided to get it (I'm still on ME2). Turns out ME3 is a complete slideshow thanks to Origin overlay. Then decided to install Origin. Took me a whole day of troubleshooting in safe mode to get it past the installation prompt. Then when I finally installed ME3, it was giving me various DirectX and Visual C errors. One of my friends gave me a "renegade version" of ME3. Lo and behold, it works flawlessly. I really hate when legit buyers are being hampered by launchers and DRM when pirated copies work so easily. Defeats the whole point.

[@3possumsinatrenchcoat]

same for bethesda games, just now they've used up all their consumer goodwill and it's gone from being funny to enraging

Kerbal Space Program has the Kraken. Originally a glitch in the physics engine that would rip apart vessels under certain circumstances, the Kraken became a legend. The dev team embraced it, adding references to it in description text and even putting a kraken statue as an easter egg on one moon. It also has the Mohole, a perfectly conical hole at the north pole of the planet Moho, which began as a glitch in the terrain map, but was then declared a feature.

Something similar to the homing briefcase situation was the famous Skyrim Space Program where a giant could launch your character and others into the sky. Apparently, this funny bug was so beloved by the community that when Bethesda patched it out, they told them to put it back.

i one time had a bug with the trees in my game so instead of fixing it i decided to say the trees were from another dimension and thats why they look so werid

[@pielover91]

Not technically a glitch, but the Train Suplexing reminded me of some of the Xenosaga III techs. Like Shion friggin Judo flipping people or Ziggy using 'choke' (aka Neck Snap). Mostly because they could be used on any humanoid, including those with the power of gods and those who'd demonstrated themselves to be faster than the party to a ridiculous degree.

Not embraced by the developers, but wavedashing (sliding along the ground after air dodging) is a "bug" in Super Smash Bros. Melee because it was unintended. Now, it's a foundational movement technique necessary for competitive play with almost any character in the game.

There's a bug in the first Borderlands game when you play as Mordecai and activate Bloodwing without targeting an enemy. Bloodwing would just fly around until the timer ran out or until the player targeted an opponent. In Borderlands 2 they gave this bug an endearing explanation and it all made sense.

[@ericb3157]

this reminds me of an annoying quirk in Elite Dangerous: when using Collector drones to collect rock fragments when doing asteroid mining, if you target a fragment when launching a drone, it will collect ONLY that ONE fragment and then DIE! BUT, if you have NOTHING targeted when launching the drone, it will keep collecting fragments for a long time, up to 15 minutes, depending on the "quality" rating of your "drone controller"!

This is an old one but World of Warcraft introduced a new dungeon way back before Burning Crusade, it was a boss that would cast a comunicable disease called Corrupted Blood on players. It was removed from players as they exited the dungeons, but Blizzard forgotten to make it be removed from pets. While the disease only does moderate damage to high level players, it kills lower livel players. Players were actively spreading it on prpose too. After a time, there were piles of skeletons everywhere. It made for an interesting demonstration, that even the CDC took notice of it. Blizzard brought it back on purpose once that I know of (don't play the game anymore) . I'm surprised this one wasn't mentioned.
