Top 5 Video Game Glitches That Broke Consoles 

Give Xbox enough time and I could genuinely believe that claim.

Oi mate, that's one big brick

Same here 🤣

If it was hundreds of pounds, I might as well give up on trying to move my console at all.

@lethe.archive I must admit I read this comment before watching the video and was also confused about several hundred pound console until I got to the end of the comment.

So, theoretically, if I kept an NES with Metroid active on for over 300 years it would stoo working on its own?

There’s another known passcode that makes it think you played for 314 years. It’s Mother Brain? Fuckin toasst. Though, this one actually lets you play the end of the game and see that, if you actually did take 300 years, Mother Brain is just already gone when you get there. I guess swears must mean you played for 300 years XD

so the console had a heart attack

Hello you!

@Ginge5ify If you "sort of" want a crossover, rabbidluigi wrote a chapter for my Fact Hunt book as a guest piece :)

I’m sure there’s at least one fan fic that goes into that idea.

Probably not how I'd describe hair loss, but I suppose that's one way to put it. But also, I agree, hair loss IS a real life glitch for men under 35. And I'm only the same age as RabbidLuigi.

I’ll be honest, I skipped it since I don’t have to worry about *male* pattern baldness since I don’t have a Y chromosome. I might go back to watch it though.

Massive L if you don't have a sponsor blocker.

Just like bideo bame

Yeah same here -_- did something get overwritten that shouldn't have? did something overheat? was there some dev with a sadistic bone to pick? hope this vid gets a follow-up!

The fact that Fallout 76 managed to survive for three whole years is nothing short of a miracle, and I will admit, the first year of it was absolutely one of the worst first years in recent video game history. It's definitely not *as* glitchy now, though, which is better than nothing, I guess?

...that's the weird thing, the only one I genuinely like was 4, simply due to the perks being generic in nature but ultimately more practical. Yes, I love new Vegas for its ultimately more diverse path, but in a choose your own adventure rpg ... I really don't want to be stuck at a kick the bucket and start over scenario.

Bethesda games to this point imo only lasted this long due to it's modding community since you tend to find the game on itself is rather shoddy and it's only once the modders come through and fix all the bugs that Bethesda can't be bothered to fix that the game can find itself in a form that generally considered good. But considering that 76 was only online meant that modders weren't able to crack it open meant that the shitty standard that Bethesda generally sets for itself was made clear for all to see. Course there are other reasons why the game was as bad and buggy as it was and I just suggest watching 'Fall of 76' for somewhat of a summary of those reasons. But can bet that if the modders were allowed at it that they could have fixed the game faster than how long Bethesda was able to get the game into a playable state. Though no amount of modding could fix the other issues like the duffle bags and the nuka cola dark rum.

@@Altoryu , I came here to say this. Yeah. Modders have been the only hope for most Bethesda games. Which allowed people to actually enjoy how complex and nuanced a lot of details in the games are (like Skyrim and Oblivion). It's sad; many of the devs put so much love and intertwined details into those games to build complex lore, often quietly in the background and easily overlooked. Those kinds of details really hooked people, and got them to feel that these games were so epic! ....And yet, that was only because a dedicated community put so much time and work into modding the game so that like, you could actually do certain quests that were un-doable due to severe glitches (for example: in Skyrim, as of at least a few months ago, you STILL can't finish this one school's magic training without a cheat to skip the bugged scenario! Probably still the case...). And various other problems that the devs themselves should have had time and direction to do, smoothed over by fans. It got so that, for a while, all communities would basically say "Here's a practically mandatory set of fan-patches/mods you need to apply after you install the game." So, it was great that the solid parts of these works were allowed to be appreciated... but, it unfortunately caused Bethesda to get away with launching all that with a broken, twisted skeleton. And so, they continued to release half-assed games, and figuring they must be doing things right, due to all their success. Buuuuuuuuut yeah, suddenly, no modding on this game? Well gee, why is it so hated by the community? Why is it so glitchy? We did everything the way we learned how to! Yeah, that's the problem, y'all! Reward bad behavior, and it'll continue. I do NOT AT ALL blame modders though; they SAVED the hard work and care that so many devs put into the games in spite of corporate pressure and deadlines, and gave us gamers fun, amazing experiences! That is a BEAUTIFUL thing! The humanity of helping each other out and letting art flourish! ....But Bethesda took it all for granted, and ignored the fact that the success wasn't due to the company heads' bad ideas and decisions to rush the games out incomplete and messy. No turning inward and thinking, no carefully considering what their flaws were doing to the game industry itself. Just "OK we made lots of money and ppl enjoy the game, let's do that again!" 4-year-old toddler level reasoning. And now, the sadly unintended side-effect is unfinished games being "released" becoming the norm. Crappy time to be a gamer. 😞

Im so scared of the game I wont even play it, I own the game and refuse to touch it. I did not spend 600 dollars on a console to have it bricked by a 60 dollar game. Edited to added that I actually got the game free when buying my Xbox One X, but still, I won't even install it.

Agreed, since a lot of those wouldn't even glitch out the console had it not been for the person tilting the cartridge

nah, a glitch is the game not playing the way it's intended. in that case the glitch was caused by a physical thing, but it's still an in-game effect, so I'd count it.

I agree, it’s like if someone took a sledgehammer to the console then claimed it’s a glitch. He may as well include glitches caused by modding if he’s gonna include cartridge tilting.

I’d like to return this microwave. I put a fork in it and then it blew up. …What do you mean that voids the warranty?

@@astro-aaron not sure how relevant that is. Whose fault the glitch is wasn't part of the discussion; just whether they ruined consoles or not

I'm pretty sure I've seen it before recently but I can't put my finger on it

A face not even a mother could love.

Extra emphasis on the hell 😳

That's a myth. The glitch can delete saves but there's zero evidence of it harming the SNES itself

@@fgfhjfhjfbhfghf5771 Okay, thanks for the clarification. I'd heard about that glitch in the past, and I didn't realize that was just a myth.

What's that tune that people usually play over clips like these?

@@jordanhunter3375 promise by kohmi hirose

@@TorutheRedFox I'll look it up first chance Inget

WHAT.

@@chaosinc.382 I dunno when Vargskelethor will upload it, will probably be up soon on his VOD channel

That's just a simple case of a stack overflow. The game didn't unload the soda cans since he wasn't far away enough for it to happen. He spawned so many soda cans that the game just couldn't handle it. It's a common glitch in many games.

I think the problem is spending 50 minutes drinking soda in a video game, pretty sure that would have killed the character too. RIP

Everything bricks or crashes games at this point

Mm-mmh! The pinnacle of gaming.

But baking a cake for 4.5 years is perfectly acceptable, of course.

@@CiromBreeze mmm, yes

ik but it is understandable.

What the hell!!!

It was an easy way to cheat in Sonic 3d Blast on Genesis.

they must know the true meaning of ENGAGE RIDLEY

There have been plenty games with unlimited framecaps that (even in a very light but 3D main menu) overheated heaps of GPUs to the point of dysfunction. Some really poorly optimized games can cause insane loads over nothing as well, but as you said it's either the hardware to blame for failing/insufficient cooling/overclocking/other failures not to blame on the games. Ironically the only PC software I've ever legit seen wreck GPUs wre nVidia's own driver releases with botched fan and clock controls. PS: Not saying there aren't devs out there hiding crypto stuff in their releases by the way -;) dirty scoundrels.

i played fallout 76 for a few hours and i agree that it's a way better game now, but it mostly sticks out in my head as a repository for cool weapons to backport into fallout 4

Eh it is better but most stuff feels like low effort and too short (talking about story) it is fun for a short while but gets repetitive and boring. Don’t give me excuse of play it with friends everything is fun with friends as you aren’t suffering through it by yourself

@@evandaymon8303 That tends to be the 'argument' I hear from people that still play it. Which is a very shallow counter, I agree.

@@evandaymon8303 I started playing it with my brother and yeah we had fun-- not because we were playing a bad game, those still suck and don't get our time. It's a much more solid experience than it used to be. Also there is no true singleplayer in the game; you're supposed to find and interact/befriend/cooperate with other players, that's why it's online-only. Jeez now it sounds like I'm promoting the thing but I'm not; it's just not the bad experience it was at the start anymore.

How are you surprised? If you told me that _76_ stole your wallet *and* yo girl, I'd legitimately take you at your word.

Teethpulling can be a real painful experience in dentistry wheter it's with the tongs used, the dentist him/herself, sedation allergies etc. No one really likes it when that happens and it can happen to anyone even with the best teeth.

I broke the original ps2 Lego Star Wars so badly that my save file was deleted and the audio stopped working. I have no idea how I did it. I'd just finished the game too. Was devastated.

Gotta admit tho-- whoever wasted almost an hour non-stop drinking virtual soda basically had it coming.

Soulblighter!! I remembered that one.. had it on a pirate cd with its own uninstaller though ^^ wasn't affected.

I was kind of expecting it, as a sort of opposite to. Mighty number 9

They don't tho
