10 Video Games That Alienated Their OWN Fanbase

10. For Honor

When it first came on the scene, For Honor seemed like a unique look at one-on- one sword fighting. It was one of 2017s most anticipated games, and this was reflected in the huge sales it made in the first few months of release.

However, problems snowballed quickly. The matchmaking system was a huge issue, which had players spending minutes at a time looking at a blank screen, before being told they had been kicked out of the server.

The game itself was also marred by technical glitches and balancing issues. A For Honour tournament was won by a player who exploited a well known glitch which made his attacks faster and unblockable.

It was also revealed the developers were aware of this particular bug, and had received frequent complaints about it. Not only did the tournament showcase everything that was wrong with the game, it was also conducted on the biggest stage possible.

Add to all this the snafu with the game's economy (requiring 2.5 years of game time to unlock everything... or pay $752), and fans struggled to find any positives.

Although For Honor still boasts a reasonably active and loyal player base, its connectivity issues and glitchy design turned players away. With a little more love and care from the developers, this game could have been so much more.
