14 Most BROKEN Video Games Of The Decade

4. Fallout 76

Fallout 76 Glitch
Bethesda

One of many formerly beloved developers whose reputations died this generation, Bethesda turned in the immaculate Skyrim (which itself, was still notably glitchy), only to get worse and worse.

This culminated with the horrific Fallout 76, an attempt to take the already-unreliable Creation Engine, and apply it to an online MMO.

Obviously the results were terrible. Bethesda can barely get their offline titles to work without a hitch, never mind juggling 30 different players and their respective world events at the same time.

76 immediately fell apart, its character models T-posing, its world barely loading in. There was even a bug where if you stared directly at the ground - minimising the amount of things the game had to load for you to see - everything would run faster, letting you speed-walk from A to B.

Somewhere along the way, Bethesda went from an ambitious studio we championed despite their mistakes, to company far out of their depth, abusing past fan devotion to rake in more cash.
