we’re looking at ten more video games
that have problems at launch but got
considerably better after the odd post
release Patrick Duke if you didn’t see a
game that you thought should be on here
be sure to check out our first list on
this topic number 10 Assassin’s Creed
unity upon release this game was marred
by clunky controls and a myriad of
technical issues the response was so
toxic that the CEO of Ubisoft Montreal
apologized to the fans for the game of
lackluster launch and the company
decided to halt the annual release
schedule of the series citing poor
reception and sales of recent titles but
it’s like a good parent to a
disappointing child
Ubisoft never really gave up on unity
and after numerous very large patches
the game is very playable today it runs
smoothly remains glitch free throughout
and most importantly the street two
parents seemed alive for the first time
after the bugs and rendering issues were
fixed it’s still not perfect but it’s
definitely better
number nine Nomad sky
[Music]
when this game was released you think
that the developers were out there
killing puppy the game was almost
universally despised online it was
overall underwhelming experience and
broken promises and it brought out media
gamers frothing rage while the game
remains flawed to this day there’s no
denying that the recent updates have
done wonders for the experience the
foundation updates offered new game
modes and the option to build your own
faces or freighters to travel the Stars
and then the Pathfinder update allows
players to construct and travel in their
own land-based vehicles for better
planetary exploration there’s definitely
still a long way to go but these updates
are a step in the right direction it is
the first update of men and the
foundation of things to come number 8
halo 5 guardians halo 5 had its fair
share of problems upon release namely a
relatively poor campaign of punishing
difficulty straight-up dumb a and a very
safe multiplayer but that’s nothing a
little free DLC can’t fix
343 Industries went on record by saying
that there would be 15 additional
multiplayer maps released for free as
they didn’t want to exclude anyone from
the new offerings now that’s how you
keep your fans happy and happy they work
as the DLC along with the maps contains
new game modes like big team battle and
Infectious a forge mode customization
options bug fixes and matchmaking
preferences Ellis is much closer to the
halo that sandstones loved
number seven Street Fighter 5 you win
Street Fighter 5 has to be one of the
decades biggest gaming disappointments
with sky-high anticipation gamers
watched in agony as decamp came with
minimal characters a surprising lack of
single-player content and an extremely
unstable online performance all of these
detriments were so bad that Capcom
issued an apology and admitted that the
game needs more work well it turns out
that they were right because after some
sit and polished Street Fighter 5 is now
much better did now comes equipped for
the cinematic story mode titled a shadow
falls and many of its online issues have
been rectified allowing it to be smooth
and responsive games it should have been
in the first place I did give something
out thanks number 6 rage rage was
developed by peds software a development
team known for their revolutionary
titles like Wolfenstein edge dude
unfortunately rage was not one of those
while it was definitely a solid game it
wasn’t a masterpiece and the PC released
suffered from numerous and atrocious
performance issues which entered the
overall experience included tearing a
lack of graphical options and competent
texture popping seriously you can go
anywhere without something or other
failing to load properly fortunately
many of these issues were patched after
release and the graphics and the game
finally became know worthy and deserving
of a powerful PC
number five rocket Lee
upon release rocket Li was a breath of
fresh and simple air in the multiplayer
market overcrowded with military
shooters and force games however it
didn’t have its problems
most notably bad servers connectivity
issues and a lack of context this has
since been remedied with the game’s
numerous DLC packs and updates some of
the new content includes custom presets
numerous game modes like ice hockey and
rumble mode rocket labs which gives
players the option to test new and
experimental maps and many other
noteworthy additions that are far too
numerous to list here but it’s simply a
lack of content is certainly not
something you should fault the game for
today
number four Killzone Shadowfall Killzone
Shadowfall
was a launch title for the ps4 and while
it was certainly a great representative
of the consoles potential in terms of
power and graphics it fell a little
short on the gameplay department as the
campaign was lackluster and the
multiplayer very by-the-book
however after some tweaks the game
finally reached its full potential the
Valor patch allowed players to earn an
in-game currency called valor after
matches which could then be spent on
special content which before the patch
could have only been accessed by paying
real money
other notable fixes included offering
support for left-handed players giving
the UI a facelift and trimming down the
campaign to eliminate themes and
sections that receive so much criticism
– was given over to survivors
number three World of Warcraft
looking at the behemoth that is or at
least was world Warcraft it’d be hard to
imagine that it was once an unplayable
disaster as the game neared release
anticipation was high lizard launched
the game with excitement but immediately
went scrambling like the chickens
without heads as the server’s were
flooded with numbers that they were not
prepared for resulting an extremely long
queues to get in game and also the
constant disconnecting because this was
2004 and the internet really sucked back
then luckily after some really nice
patches expansions and server updates
the game was finally running smoothly
and eventually became one of the most
popular video games of all time number
two the Elder Scrolls online something
we can do boys the Elder Scrolls online
yes sign us up dude well actually don’t
because upon launch the game was kind of
a disaster common criticisms included
the exorbitant subscription model the
infamous phasing issues is problematic
progression system and bug like a lot of
bugs the criticisms for so prevalent
that the developers back settled on a
lot of ideas including the subscription
model which was acts as of March 2015
they also released some favorable DLC
which added various mechanics like a new
currency dungeons and quest lines then
removed problematic gameplay elements
like these better impression system the
game continues to be worked on and added
to today with the recent morrowind
expansion and player housing improving
the overall experience it is your time
to save morrowind before we get to our
topic we have one quick honourable
mentions it remains unusual despite the
corrected fault it may yet be a
surprising producer number one Tom
Clancy’s Rainbow six siege if your
amazing stone you will be detected by
awesome man talk about how DLC can help
a game siege launched with a solid
foundation but it significantly lacked a
single-player experience maps and game
modes and it was heavily criticized for
being a fair bones and disappointing
triple-a release however the DLC cavalry
was on the way and what a rescue it was
maps were constantly added as free
downloadable content and while Ubisoft
did hit a few roadblocks on the way with
release delays this DLC also contains
new CPUs and operators
not to mention competitive looking
levels with all of the same content the
game is finally allowed to breathe and
view the quality shooter it always has
the potential to be GP with our picks
