These are some of the most notorious glitches in games that became memes or were talked about for years.
Missing Faces – Assassin’s Creed Unity
This is one of the many hideous glitches that plagued Assassin’s Creed Unity at the time of its release in 2014. While the game is very good now, it was hated back in the day. This rather disturbing yet funny glitch caused many characters to only have a mouth and their eyeballs. And their hair was also visible.
Flying Cars – Cyberpunk 2077
Like in Assassin’s Creed Unity, Cyberpunk 2077 had a multitude of game-breaking and hilarious glitches. This particular glitch caused vehicles to fly. And not in a futuristic way either. They would just explode up into the blue sky and fall down, out of nowhere. Sometimes it felt like it was a hailstorm of cars. This caused many explosions and unfathomable chaos.
Roach – The Witcher 3
Roach is the well-loved and adorable horse of Geralt of Rivia. This odd creature had the habit of doing things that a normal horse would not. This includes trying to climb trees and towers and galloping only with his front legs. Jokes aside, the glitches of Roach were kind of loved by the community. Artworks and a ton of memes were created that referenced the way Roach spawned on top of houses and whatnot. Even CD Projekt RED themselves acknowledged these glitches in the Blood and Wine DLC in a quest. It’s all very fun and funny.
The Cart Glitch – The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
You wake up in a cart that takes you into a town where you’ll get your head cut off. This certainly isn’t that much of a warm welcome, to be honest. And a glitch that causes the carriages you ride in to fly or spin or perform some otherwordly black magic. The above image shows how the carriage took the player to someplace that looks rather different from Helgen. And one of the most famous ones is how the gates wouldn’t open in Helgen, and how the carriages would ragdoll around hilariously. That was a game-breaking bug, and modders fixed it.
The Swingset Glitch – Grand Theft Auto IV
This glitch never saw a proper fixing, and that’s great because this was so much fun. It didn’t obstruct many features of the gameplay or missions. When you reach a certain swingset and hit it with your car, you’ll be launched up into the sky. Because of GTA IV’s superior physics, this was absolutely wonderful to watch. When the car fell to the earth after its journey to the sky, it would sometimes explode or become completely wrecked.
Doc Mitchell’s head – Fallout New Vegas
Glitches are to be expected in Bethesda games so this wasn’t very surprising. However, it was quite funny. The guy that patches you up after you got shot in the head is Doc Mitchell. In this odd glitch, you’ll witness how the good doctor’s head spins around in a slow and horrific manner. He will even be speaking while it happens.
