    @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.

    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.

    I missed this. Thanks for the heads up.
    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.

    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.

    Stop it. SDS promoted Switch gameplay and failed to deliver. ...Don't blame the victims.

    NES users should get what they paid for!

    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

    I had that game! Horrible! My stepfather would only buy us games that were on sale...and no games were on a bigger sale than ET. That was almost child abuse. Thank god for my mom, Christmas, and my Genesis.

    @xElRojo44x They can promote it all they want but historically, Switch has never been on the console level of PS or XB. If you go to the grocery store and see a market brand cereal with the tagline "Just as good as name brand....", it doesnt make it so. The consumer is always at fault for buying a subpar product expecting top tier quality.

    @Easy_Duhz_It_ only problem besides the game here is the brain missing in your dense skull. They put out a product on switch that is unplayable. Go buy more stubs on your ps5 instead of trolling customers that were scammed

    @Easy_Duhz_It_ You must work for SDS with your low IQ. Go buy more stubs like a good little boy.

    @Bearsfan217 Unless you bought it on Switch where it is quite literally unplayable. Can't imagine a launch going worse for a platform.
