15 Most Disappointing Video Game Sequels Of The Decade (So Far)

7. Battlefield 4

Battlefield 4 provided some of the best high-octane action in the series; from frantic gunfights erupting on rooftops to high-speed chases across gorgeous woodlands, this fourth entry into the popular Battlefield franchise was an invigorating and brutal first person shooter €“ when it worked. Unfortunately, BF4€™s release was a mess. With glitches, crashes and awful rubber-banding, Battlefield 4 was virtually unplayable on release, a sure sign that the game was rushed out the door in order to hit its hugely important fall release date. Even the single player campaign suffered from a massive amount of bugs out of the gate, perhaps the most grievous being a fault that deleted your saved progress, forcing you to start over from scratch each time you booted the game up. Thankfully, today Battlefield 4 is as good as it should have been when it first released in stores and stands as one of the most enjoyable entries in the entire series €“ but for some players, finally completing your game a year after it's been on the market is too little, too late.
