8 Most Infamous Video Game Glitches Of All Time
5. The Giant Launcher - The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
We all know that Bethesda titles aren't exactly the most polished games ever to hit the market upon release, often resembling a cardboard cutout with holes shot out of it for a fair old while until dev and fan patches duct tape the experience together, yet sometimes a glitch is just so damn hilarious that both those working on the project and those playing it choose not to fix it.
Case and point, the Giant Launcher glitch present in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim which will see players kiss the sky should they find themselves on the wrong end of a Giant's club while exploring.
To say that charging in against these monstrous man mountains and then getting clattered from one side of the map to the other made for a rather disarming and hilarious moment is quite the understatement, as this was bloody hilarious.
In fact it soon came to light that the devs knew about this glitch but found it so ridiculously entertaining that it was left in the game for players to discover themselves. Arguably this was a shrewd move as the memes and reactions that came from this one moment helped catapult Skyrim even further into the mainstream.
