Is Advent Rising the buggiest game this gen?

I like the characters, the story, and the game play. But this game has some of the worse bugs i ever seen. It is like the game hates it's own FMVs because nearly everytime it plays one the game locks up, thank god it automatically saves. And also some of the scripted stuff doesn't go off like it should. Are there any games out there worse then this?

well where do I start? On the xbox version there is a bug that makes it so you can't finish a mission, therefore making it so you can't beat the game.. outside of that there are loads of other issues like being able to walk through walls and other fine programming

I submit: Crazy Taxi for the PS2. I had it for a week, it never ran for more than 15 minutes without crashing.

Don't know about the buggiest - I couldn't get past the abominable frame rate in the weapons tutorial... gave up at that point :lol

That's too bad cause the best game of the year was right past that tutorial.

If the framerate was the same as that tutorial then it could have been the best game ever for all It would matter to me - that shit was unplayable

"Enter the Matrix" and "The Path of Neo" gets my vote. That game has some horrible bugs but I still play it because I am a matrix fan. I'm not surprised because it IS Shiny.

The game felt glitchy all the way through (audio glitches were especially bad), but the fact that I hit a bug that prevented me from being able to complete the game especially pissed me off. I know people encountered all sorts of other issues too...

That clearly goes to Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth for Xbox. I encountered no less than FIVE! game-stopping/crash bugs. Thanks for the QA testing, Bethesda.

If you are going to pick it up, do so on the PC. Trust me. You can mimic the controls of the XBOX game perfectly even...but it looks much better and can run at a solid 60 fps.

While the actual XBOX game spends half of its time well below 20 fps (sometimes below 10). Reminded me of playing Quake on my 486/66...
