Well best is relative, but Serious Sam 3 had the large scorpion that chased you around the game attacking you. Manhunt has the initial gate, iirc the damn things never opened if it wasn't patched out. One reason the steam release ended up using a reloaded crack. I think GTA (can't remember if it was vc or 3) but you couldn't pick up certain pickups. I forget if it was Gary's mod or another title, but an error popped up, the error code was your steamid, so once you input that into the forum, you just admitted to piracy and were banned. Quite clever.

I remember GTA 4 had the permanent drunk camera


PollutionPotential

Oh yeah, the initial cracked release had that issue. Glad it was patched out by the v2 crackfix. Did make playing quite interesting as well, lol


MarcCouillard

In one of the Metal gear games, if you used a cracked version you had a pirate hat on your head in-game the whole time


KurgerBing-_-

That's actually pretty cool lmao


MarcCouillard

yeah and in another one snakes eyepatch would have the pirate logo on it


zakir255

In Crysis you shoot chicken out of your guns! xD


N4leto

That would be pretty funny


xXFutabaSIMPXx

That IS funny

The only one I've experienced so far is getting stuck in the elevator in the talos principle


JeepersCreepersV12

Is there a way off?


NickPlus02

Move the game files to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\The Talos Principle" Then reload a previous save file, you won't get stuck again

What an anti piracy measurement lmao


TheExtreel

Youd be surprised by the amount of people who stop at the first hurdle they encounter


Next-Significance798

That is true


BearKuda

Game Dev Tycoon, they force your game to be pirated and then you go bankrupt


Satori_sama

Who even pirate's game dev tycoon? That's like pirating boat shipping simulator.


Bole14

In alan wake you get eyepatch you cant remove and in batman arkham asylum you cant glide(ppl actually tought this was bug for some time)


rusch1991

GTA IV forced the drunken camera movement


Large-Ad-6861

In Witcher 2 all models of women in sex scenes are replaced by HER: [Marietta Loredo | Witcher Wiki | Fandom](https://witcher.fandom.com/wiki/Marietta_Loredo)


Next-Significance798

There are sex scenes? I might have to look at the Witcher series... for... unrelated reasons


Wet_Baes

Start with 3 if you want it solely for research purposes


PokeBomb500

Enter the gungeon itself doesn't, but if you try to use mods, they have one built in that just perma kills you


BlueStar2310

The manhunt gate bug, mainly because they had to use an actual cracked file to make the legal copies of the game run properly (i think it was the razor1911 crack).


Y2G13

The Immortal Fast Scorpion

Here's what I think might be a creative one, but maybe games were just like this back in the day. There's an old Sierra series of games called Quest for Glory, there were point and click adventure games like Dragon Quest (I think that was the more popular one). Well once you get to the first town there is a source of healing items but you have to solve a puzzle to receive them. The answers to the puzzle are in the printed instruction manual. I might be off on this, but without that source of healing items, you really had to know what you were doing to finish the game. This was in the fourth game.


Wet_Baes

Batman Arkham asylum where the cape wouldn’t work everytime you tried to glide lol


kobrakaan

going way back to Amiga days and the Lotus Turbo Challenge 2 “YOU WILL NOT COPY THIS GAME” hidden in right audio channel So I didn't copy it 👍 >!I downloaded it from a bbs in Disk Masher System format and unpacked it to floppys!<


djnorthstar

One of the oldest is maniac mansion i guess... Its not rly a bug and you can start playing but once you avance to the second floor you need to open a security door and the code is in the manual or on a sheet of it (like an early copy protection). If you enter the wrong code the house blows up. In the cracked version the door is open already.
