7 hilarious video game glitches and bugs

Although video game graphics and engines have steadily improved throughout the years, they still deliver a fair amount of bugs and glitches.

This is most noticeable in poor cross-platform ports and Day 1 releases.

Since Mafia 3’s launch was slightly marred by a number of bugs and glitches, we thought we’d take a look back at the hilarious history of video game bugs and glitches.

Check out these 7 funny and crazy glitches:

Mafia 3

The launch of Mafia 3 was characterised by a variety of glitches, especially on PC.

Check out some of the funniest and strangest bugs below:

Heavy Rain – Shaun Glitch

The holy grail of video game glitches, the “Shaun” glitch from Heavy Rain is absolutely priceless.

It is possible for a quick-time event to get stuck in a loop, meaning the main character can scream for “Shaun” throughout the rest of the game.

The results are hilarious.

Skyrim – Headless

A decapitation bug in Skyrim can cause the playing character to become headless but remain alive.

Players have also reported that upon loading into a new area, the head will reappear but will be immediately severed again.

Wolf Among Us – Inappropriate Stripping

During a dramatic and relatively docile scene, Bigby suddenly begins performing a pole-dance animation despite his grave wounds.

The continuing dialogue makes for an interesting scene:

The Sims – Terrifying Babies

The Sims has always had its fair share of bugs, but none as hilarious and/or terrifying as the disfigured monstrosities that babies sometimes turned into.

Due to an animation bug, babies (and sometimes adult Sims) randomly transformed into horrifying creatures with elongated limbs.
