12 Big-Budget Video Games That Launched Completely Broken

3. Battlefield 4

What's worse than a game that has server issues so bad you can't play it online? How about a title that sporadically decides to erase all your campaign progress - so random in its execution in fact, that DICE never actually issued a concrete fix for the problem. Not only that but the multiplayer side of things remains spotty at best even today, with the state it was in back at launch being laughably bad. As quoted by Giantbomb's Brad Shoemaker, it's the "reliability of it's broken-ness" that's so baffling, as he recounts that players online can literally wait for a certain in-map set-piece to occur, knowing imperatively that it's going to crash the game. The thing that makes everything so much worse is that publisher EA are so quick to push for Premium Memberships and DLC, not to mention back when Battlefield: Hardline was announced, the majority of these glitches were still in-effect. Why on earth would anybody want to cough up even more cash towards future instalments of a franchise when the most current is still a buggy mess, months after release?
