What's the biggest /his/ fail you've noticed/heard of in video games that were made in the last 10 years?

Civ 5 didn't include "Minoan" or "Hittite" civs, but did include "Zulu", "Netherlands" and some formal disparity between "Iroquois" and "Sioux" because "reasons", even though those representations and differentiations had relative jack dick to do with the world's societal development. They were only a sycophantic inclusion for a lame attempt at political correctness, as was including more than one female leader.
Homefront, bigest lolz in Murica stories.

did you ever stop to think that is not the basis on why civs are included?
They are beyond numerous

This whole game was a source of near continuous facepalming.

The new Battlefield trailer
Assassin's Creed.
The entire franchise
Pretty sure giant alien like structures like the train station never existed and that there never were sewer systems at that time in far isolated steppe Russia.
Else than that, Pathologic holds really tight as an inspiration of the Moscow plague riot. The chaos as the disease spreads is felt. Inflation, unrest and moving the plot as you struggle to survive in video games is something rare for 3rd persion RPGs. It really is refreshing and ominous.

Not all are necessary "fails", they incorperate ahistorical elements for "gameplay" Whatever that is necessary the right thing to do... I think not.

Until they patched it recently Lithuania wasn't just ridiculously powerful, it was the most developed country on the planet.

In Age of Empires II: HD Edition there are many mistakes. Many of those civilizations never fought and also never lived that close near each other.

top kek.
They keep adding all these features and modifiers in an attempt to create 'believeable worlds' and it just gets stranger the more shit they add.

It seems the guiding principle is to have some sort of far reaching variety in the civs and leaders, not strictly basing their choices on "relevance" or "historical importance" or anything like that. That seems fine to me, especially considering the alt-history style and emphasis on the potential of mankind.
