10 Hated Video Game Sequels You Should Play

Unlike most games, live service titles can claw success from the jaws of failure. A terrible launch is not a complete death sentence, and if a new live service game tanks, the developers and publishers have two options: either hold their hands up, cut ties and promise to do better with the next game or knuckle down and put the work in to transform what they already have into a quality product.

Of course, there's no guarantee that committing to the latter approach will actually work or, more importantly, that fans will be open to forgiveness if they do pull it off. With Fallout 76, there's understandably still a lot of trepidation. This thing was a tire fire at launch, and a lot of longtime players simply thought the idea of a multiplayer Fallout title was antithetical to the franchise's entire appeal.

Well, it took them a good few years, but Fallout 76 is no longer the complete write off it once was. With a bunch of major substantial updates, there's way more game there than there ever was and, more importantly it (mostly) works.

Sure, some of the updates added in elements, like NPCs, that should have been there at launch but taken in its current state, Fallout 76 may be able to win you over.
