10 Recent Video Games With Disastrous Launches You Didn't Realise Got Fixed

Now to be completely fair to Star Wars Outlaws, it launched in a more favourable state than just about every other game on this list.

It was absolutely playable, and yet there was considerable frustration with the game's emphasis on trial-and-error, insta-fail stealth mechanics, as well as its poor AI and janky speeder physics.

The true disaster of Outlaws' launch however was its hugely disappointing commercial performance, selling just 1 million copies within a month of release - a great figure for many games, but not a mega-budget Star Wars game.

To developer Massive Entertainment's credit, though, within barely a month of Outlaws' release, they dropped a patch which eliminated mandatory stealth sections from most of the game's missions and rejigged the aforementioned speeder issues, among many other smaller fixes.

Yet there sadly isn't much indication that the patch has made a real commercial dent, because first impressions evidently count for a lot.
