The Gist - 5 Broken Games That Launched Anyway

Sonic '06 instead of Sonic Boom? People actually like Sonic '06 better than Boom. Slightly, but they still do.

"Its Superman 64, it sucks"....

ROFL, best line eva!

Are you up for contract renewals?

It's not only EA that can get sued, you know that right?

Why the shout out to the kord?

You have done better work before.

Came here for end of year news - all we get is a wannabe-dev who has no game's to her credit as far as I know trashing anything she feels like trashing.

Please let us know what games YOU have developed and published Ms. Jess?

Don't get me wrong. If I don't like a game, I let the publisher know.

Why are you digging in the troves instead of developing a game yourself?

Thanks and cheers.

Worst piece of site I have seen all year this.

I just started playing Battlefield 4. Its seems to run pretty good. Was there a problem at launch, did I miss something? :)

Add Far Cry 4 for the PC to your list. Before it was patched the game didn't even start.

the last 2 games cracked me up totally!

"Ride to Hell: Retribution"

Why? because even if every bug was to be fixed the game would still be a broken mess.

Seriously, f*ck BF4. They should have been sued into oblivion for that crap. So much false advertising and so much brokenness. I love how their remedy to the problem is to come out with a sh*tty cops and robbers game instead of the real BF game people have been wanting since BF3. I played the Hardline beta. It was the worst shooter I've played in a long time.

BF4 was bad but I'm sure EA/DICE are pleased to know that there are others out there that are far more incompetent than they are!

5 games in video:

5.) Sonic the Hedgehog 2006

4.) Superman 64

3.) BF4

2.) Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing

1.) Air Control

@Kayweg @novaprime1985 This!!!

Aquaman

GTA online was the most broken because it was the easiest game to mod/hack at launch.

Air Control is certainly more broken than Big Rigs but Big Rigs was an actual boxed retail product while Air Control is of an age where the barrier to entry is way lower with digital distribution.

Also the original Sonic game was for the MegaDrive (Genesis) and the MasterSystem version was a back-port that came out a few months later. The MasterSystem version was also pretty crappy if I remember correctly. :P

Do you guys want to know something truly ironic? Sure the developers made some really bad games, but you know what is almost just as bad? A reviewer who doesn´t mention any of these things, which was the case with battlefield 4, which scored an 8 out of 10 here on gamespot.

Yea, because the only bad thing about battlefield 4 is " Campaign doesn't embrace series strengths" Right chris? Right.

But now let´s pretend to be the good guys, and suddenly care about the interests of the consumer.

Yea.

dev's are getting lazy as hell, &/or publishers are pushing them out the door immediately

either way, we're still boned

Ooooof. All of those are so rough! This was fun.

PC is filled with sh*tty indie games like Air Control.

People don't buy broken or unfinished games!

Ah I don't think the truck can be topped though the plane just because it came out this year is bloody close.

But hey they made Destiny look like a AAA title so there is that.

assassins creed and this other assassins creed with the hacker

Pretty good list, but I guess 'E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial' probably deserves honorable mention, though, for being so broken it almost broke the industry.

as said in the video anything with bethesda on the front especially f***in skyrim urghhhh

Starforge.....

How come they always call Superman on N64 as "Superman 64", when that's not its actual title?

i spend 100.00 on broken field 4

You completely missed the launch of Anarchy Online. While the game got fixed, it still stands the test of time as the worst MMO launch of all times.

List does not include Total War: Rome 2. I don't think I've ever been so disappointed in a developer. Oh, and somehow it got around 8 on most of its reviews. Somehow.

Big Rigs! I'll never forget watching Alex Navarro's review here on GameSpot; easily one of the most hilarious things I've ever seen.

Literally the first time I ever played Battlefield 4 (while waiting for the full game to install on PS4), the campaign crashed and erased all of my save data. I knew right away the game was a winner!

Still, far and away the most broken game I've ever played was The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim on Xbox 360. There were so many broken quests in that game! It crashed on me at least 20 times. I literally completed many broken quests by glitching them over and over. Fun game, but completely broken.

Games that "LooOOOUuunch" xD

Big Rigs Racing is an under-appreciated masterpiece.
