Dorkly: The launch of the latest SimCity was, to put it mildly, not handled well. To put it spicily, it was a huge unimaginable mess – with people unable to download the game, play the game due to lack of available servers, features being turned off, and with a number of updates released post-launch trying to fix some of the major issues users were experiencing. This didn’t go on for just the first few hours of its release though – some of this is still going on, a week after release. For a smaller game and company, this might not be such a surprise – but this is from one of the largest publishers in videogames and one of the biggest franchises in videogames. However, SimCity is not the first game to put users through this kind of launch mess. Here are 9 other games that had terrible launches.
Blizzard Entertainment has announced the opening of beta registrations for “World of Warcraft: The War Within,” inviting players to explore new subterranean worlds beneath Azeroth.
Danish from eXputer: "Despite Blizzard's attempt to give a fresh new spin to World of Warcraft, some fans still seem to be stuck in the past."
HG writes: "Blizzard is usually pretty bad at keeping secrets, but the company somehow managed to keep this one under wraps until now. Plunderstorm is a special limited-time event that’s basically World of Warcraft’s take on the Battle Royale genre."
Diablo 3 is also one of the worst sequels from well known franchises in the history of video games, if u ever do a list with the worst sequels dont forget to put it at the TOP, at 2nd place put FFXIII & 3rd RE6 & this will be perfect.
These are all mmo's. I thought for sure Daikatana would be on that list. Still not a bad list, though.
they need to put every battlefield since bad company on there too. you cant even play mp in those for the first week unless you get lucky
D3 was so disappointing I was so excited waited ten years then we get the infamous error 37 not to mention how much the game sucks
Vanguard taught me a valuable lesson, don't buy MMOs at launch!
