ET for Atari was way worse. We were a whole generation contended by typing words like boobie and hell on our upside down calculator screens and that game STILL sucked lol
-
Realistically this game doesnt crack the top 100 worst launches for the current decade, but thats because the industry is in a sorry state right now.

They’ve made entire documentaries about this one. It destroyed an entire company. They have an entire landfill of these suckers. I’ll agree with you.

You can’t blame the guy an icon for 300 is a joke.

It's incomplete,if you read the text in the s1 collect screen it says they will be adding rewards to it.
I bet they will be real good,if they are staggering them like this. -
Worst launch ever for a video game? This is no where near as bad as GT7. It isn't even the worst MLB the Show launch.
-
@BxnnyMxn_
And we can't forget "Custer's Revenge". -
@Easy_Duhz_It_ sure it does
-
@BalsamicArrow88 The game plays fine, there havent been any serious server outages. If you dont like the content, that means you're the fool who spent money on it. They showed us what we were getting.
-
Arguably their best launch in years.

I'll take what they said back when I see more cards being added. -
I haven't bought the game, but from what I'm seeing online it's not even close to the worst launch ever.
Battlefront Classic Collection launched with half the cutscenes missing in BF2, games crashing, and people not being able to play online (which was the biggest selling point). No Man's Sky was launched without multiple features advertised, and barren planets (did make a comeback though). SimCity 2013's launch literally had the game as unplayable, and was a reason it's studio shut down 2 years later. WWE 2K20's launch was so bad it was a reason that 2K21 got cancelled. Battlefront 2 (2017) led to the most downvoted comment in reddit history, I'm sure they wore that with a sense of pride and accomplishment, that game had a great comeback.
-
And let's not forget Fallout 76. That was a train wreck right at the beginning as I recall.
-
I forgot about GTA Trilogy Definitive Edition.
A release so bad that calling the games broken would be an improvement. This is after Rockstar went after modders of those games. It also caused Rockstar to no remaster GTA IV and Red Dead Redemption. You realize how bad you have to screw up to release ports of 3 GTA games and have them become afterthoughts a month later?
-
The game crashes due to software errors in every mode except RTTS on Switch.
Worst game purchase I've ever made. Never again.

@Easy_Duhz_It_ game crashes and freezes quite a bit. Did they show us that?
-
Nothing beats Battlefield 2042 in that aspect, the king of fails, worst launch I've ever experienced, so bad, Im stil pissed
-
@ChasePitches
Well problem #1 is you're playing on Switch. Problem #2 would be....nah never mind. Theres only one problem here.
-
The pitchers pitching 75% balls is a pretty major issue, and the fact it hasn’t been fixed yet is concerning. But that aside, I do t think this launch has been as bad as previous years have been, and certainly not as bad as other games in general (as others have stated).
MLB the Show specifically had a terrible release last year. The game was literally unplayable for the first three weeks due to server errors.
