10 Worst Video Game Launches EVER

First impressions are everything. You only get one shot (one opportunity) to come out the gates and swing for the fences. Stumbling at the first hurdle can almost mean certain doom for most, especially in the hyper-competitive video game industry.

A medium that's always moving, games, publishers and developers can rarely afford to not make a massive splash at launch. Only on a rare occasion does a No Man’s Sky fail so hard and miss the mark, to only make a shocking return just a few months or even years later.
