With the instant rise and different research and technologies getting merged in the gaming industry it stands as one of the top industries driving a lot of revenue from end users. Games require a lot of efforts and investments and despite that, success is not always assured for every game developer. Despite all the efforts and investments in game development, sometimes the game concept does not strike chord with the target players, sometimes the marketing investments are not pushed in the right direction and sometimes, the quality of games is taken casually despite knowing what’s at stake.
Even a momentary glitch or defect in the game may create a bad impression about the overall video game product among end users & players. Nobody creates a glitchy game on purpose. And that’s why it’s always recommended to take the quality assurance of the game seriously. Bugs or defects in games can make the user experience frustrating. These bugs can come unexpectedly or even make people laugh hard at your games. It is also a possibility to see mismatched subtitles and video effects. Video games are filled with challenges and unexpected turns and twists if not tested thoroughly for quality on all fronts before public launch.
In this blog, we are going to shed light on some of the most hilarious game glitches that are revealed by the end-users.
- Heavy Rain:
This is a humorous bug to get noticed at first. A father who is looking out for his son constantly keeps saying his name upon button press. Now as the game proceeds towards the end, there is a situation whereupon pressing “X” Ethan calls out for “Shawn” irrespective of the dialogues that appear in the titles. Now, as the person constantly calls out his son, it is a bit confusing to listen to what others in the game are saying.
- Skyrim:
The game is occupied with huge giants who tend to throw people at such a height which is impossible to believe at first but seeing people like that can make you laugh. Some people believe that it is a glitch and others don’t believe So it can be termed as a launch in the sky by a giant glitch.
- LORD OF THE RINGS:
A popular one amongst others from the lord of rings is this glitch. In this, you can tell people to follow you and they will. It helps you to be seated and travel in the game. Your friends will follow you and also be seated without any issues in the game. It can be called a moving chair glitch.
- Madden NFL 15:
This game is based on a football team where a player is 1/6th of the size as compared to his fellow players but this player plays normally as everyone else does. It is a bit funny to see a little miniature running along the field and playing football.
- Assassin’s Creed Unity:
Have you ever imagined a person without his full face? In this game, it can be seen that at certain points the players have uncovered some potential powers and which caused their faces to disappear. One can only see their teeth and eyes. This is seriously scary. For developers.
- Star Wars Battlefront 2:
This glitch can be funny but it doesn’t especially impact one’s capability to not play the game. One of the characters in the game, Jedi is not able to light up her lightsaber to fight against the enemies. Though she fights them back without the un-lit lightsaber, it seems quite hilarious.
- SIMS4:
As per the game, the story revolves around a family having a mixed breed baby that is nothing close to a normal baby but it has a different kind of body. Babies are soft, like cute little beautiful creations of God But in the game, it is simply reversed. It’s an unholy creation and the worst nightmare for the developers.
- Red Dead Redemption:
This glitch can be called a “jumping horse”. It was seen in the game that some of the characters have locked up their horses in a particular place and found them missing at first. When they went over to look out for their horses, they found them jumping in the air, getting on house rooftops. Also, whenever someone tries to look for the horses, they suddenly jump over and get stuck in the air.
- Crysis:
This glitch from Crysis is another hilarious example. One scene has an ocean and some super scary sharks. Even after getting hit by multiple bullets the sharks somehow manage to get on the beach. Before dying, the sharks keep on moving around the beach despite several bullet shots. Scary stuff.
- Cyberpunk 2077:
Cyberpunk 2077 has been the most awaited game. But there have been numerous bugs and hilarious glitches that made players laugh. One of such bugs is in the screen below wherein the legs of the character are clipping with the truck’s body creating one hilarious moment. For spectators. Not for developers.
Conclusion:
Some of these glitches and bugs are funny and most are frustrating for the players who pay for the games in question. Having said that, the entire game development cycle is complex and full of challenges for the game developers. Hence, momentarily glitches of such kind must not discredit the game studios in general. Extensive quality analysis of the game before official launch may help the game developers to overcome most bugs. Although exposed in front of many end users already, hopefully the developers have already fixed (or at least working on a fix) for above listed bugs.
