10 Most BROKEN Video Game Launches Of The Generation
7. No Man's Sky
In retrospect, Hello Games have knuckled down and eventually did deliver on the scope and potential that No Man's Sky could and would offer. However, this is easy to say four years and many updates later.
At launch, though, completely different story. Like the lovechild of Peter Molyneux and John Romero, Sean Murray sold us a fantastical experience that sounded too good to be true.
Turns out, it was.
Oh sure, you could explore vast amounts of planets and galaxies, that much was delivered. But what was your reward for it? That's right, hideous looking monstrosities roaming across the flattest and most boring of procedurally generated landscapes.
It didn't help that textures took forever to load in, so the ugly looking planet you landed on looked even worse until it decided to sort itself out. Worse than the pop-up were the staggering amount of reported crashes the game was subjecting people to.
The overall result was a much hyped, highly anticipated game that offered very little to do and a strong chance you wouldn't be able to do much of it if it kept crashing on you.
It's pretty good now though.
