    1.Batman - Arkham knight and the decision to leave the PC port into the wild in the state it was, then pull it from steam, then release it again and offer refunds even if you'd completed the game.
    2. Metal Gear Solid and the whole Konami / Kojima fiasco. the whole thing was / is mind boggling from a PR standpoint, the fact that half the internet seems to think its all some elaborate ruse just shows how mixed the messaging is.


    cant think of much else tbh.

    Star Wars Battlefront: Classic money grab, little or no content. Should have been released as Battlefield 4 DLC

    The introduction of the Batmobile in Arkham Knight. I can't think of a single other gameplay mechanic in any game that ruined the experience as much as that. I wanted to play a Batman game not a driving game. And a pretty bad driving game at that.

    I'll also add releasing the Witcher 3 in the state they did. I encountered a game breaking bug that prevented me from continuing. Not great value for money.

    Arkham Knight on PC - A good game ruined by complete snobbery towards PC gamers by Warner Bros.

    Another for Arkham Knight, unprecedented lack of cop-on in the PC release, required an unprecedented withdrawal from sale.

    Arkham Knight - PC release was a disaster and they've just given up.
    Konami - Pretty much everything they do, especially the treatment of Kojima.
    Star Wars: Battlefront - Complete lack of a campaign of single player mode was a massive let down, repetitive game play and a bit of a cash grab.

    Releasing MGSV with missions and parts of the real ending cut out.
    The state of Rainbow Six Siege, where to begin. Ubi need to go back to the games from 1998-2003.
    No campaign or space combat in Battlefront, all the work getting a great looking game just wasted. Also the basic flying controls dumbs down any dogfights and there is a scripted evade move....why. Could all have been epic. 2005 version was and still is a better game experience.

    Bungie - re-releasing Destiny and having mugs (like me), who bought the original game and the two expansions to fork out nearly 75e for the whole thing again. I sold my copy.
    Konami - THE NEW SILENT HILLS IS....a pachinko machine...!?!?
    And just Konami in general really.

    Rainbow 6 Siege - Removing the campaign from a Tom Clancys branded game. (it might be a good game, but sales are not good and I can't help thinking it would have done much better with a campaign).

    Arkham Knight - Forcing the Batmobile on us for nearly the whole game.

    Halo 5 - No Firefight mode, Warzone is crap.
