12 Most Disastrously Disappointing Video Game Launches In History

8. Battlefield 4

As a launch game for both the PS4 and Xbox One, EA DICE's malformed baby bore the brunt of the 'next generation' of hype - which is to say, "We'd paid hundreds for these shiny new systems, and were suitably peed off that they didn't do much."

But Battlefield 4's qualms weren't just teething issues, they were full-blown haymakers, shattering its pearly whites across the parking lot. Single player campaign progress would randomly delete itself, online matches would drop out or not connect whatsoever, entire 64 player battles would crash depending on 'set-pieces' in the world triggering - and the best (worst) bit?

EA even acknowledged their failings, with EA's Andrew Wilson quite frankly admitting that the entire debacle was "unacceptable."

Live and learn, EA. Live and learn.
