Yep, shadow of mordor was alright but they could do so much better if they made the games they wanted to instead of what they were told to.

came here to post this

Valve

The entire video game industry.

This.

Bethesda.

Rockstar and Valve

Valve:
>Dont create shit unless we can shove a shillbox loot system to whore out keys

Rockstar:
>Lets rerelease our game again a year later
>Lets ruin the multiplayer with ridiculously overpriced luxury items
>And then put in cash cards to buy said items
>LETS PUT A FUCKING ARMORED SPORTS CAR THAT PENALIZES PLAYERS FOR DESTROYING IT WHILE I MOW DOWN EVERYTHING IN MY PATH

FUCK.

DELETE THIS THREAD. IM SO FUCKING ANGRY THINKING ABOUT WHAT COULDVE BEEN

Gearbox

Sonic team

Feels like Platinum is heading down this road.

Valve

oh wait they don't even produce anything at all

Better add Naughty Dog to the list.

>Square

Oh god. Fuck yes. Square was a fucking god in the late 90s.

Nah mang. Nier is gonna be great.

It's really painful to see what Tim has become.

Calm down Josuke, nobody talked about your shit hair.

3D Realms.
It's funny seeing people trying to justify the kuruma.
>Dude just shoot into the small holes lmao.
And that's made better because the car is going to be constantly moving and shooting back unless the owner is severely retarded

Sting

Big Huge Games. They pretty much only made Rise of Nations, but it's sad to see them doing mobile games now.

It's a

>now that I'm voting for Trump all they do is produce shit in is now a shadow of their former self

You're not even a shadow of your former self, you're the same retard of your same self.

Pretty much everyone. I can't name a single good dev these days.

Irem

I have a thing for sexy forearms

blizzard
valve
capcom
konami
square (squaresoft, square enix was mostly garbage anyway)

You have a mental illness for forearms. You're in the right place. I wished you were in the actual right place where you'll get executed out of the gene pool, but, shit, you've escaped. For now.

Clover studios
amen

>u said hair... o iM MAD NOW DID YOU JUS-DORADORADORA

Valve.

They've barely done anything notable since 2013 aside from shilling the dead on arrival meme tech that is VR and fucking up their games every update.

Bungie.

Once you sell your company's soul to Activision, your company isn't getting it back.

...

>le meme is le meme because I've learned it from you guise XD am I part of le meme club yet?

kill yourself, my man

They really can't into sequels. So many good IP's they started but ended up in the shitter.

Rockstar
Bioware
Valve
Sega
Konami
Capcom
Square Enix
Rare

Let's face it, videogames are dead. They've all been turned into big budget rushed piles of shit with no love.

...

Not an argument.

VR was overhyped to hell and back but it still has no games months after release and nobody's buying Vives or the Occulus anymore.

Notch.

EA; Activision; Blizzard; Nintendo.

Though, Nintendo may be back with that new Zelda. We'll have to see.

...

please relax

DICE since they ported BC2 to PC

Blizzard a million times BLIZZARD
Nobody has fallen farther.
They used to be the masters of hyping you up and not only matching that hype but exceeding it.
I laugh at the fuckers thinking overbotch will be played years from now.
Sure Activision. Without any community features like map making, or server hosting shit.
Activision took the control away from the players. Don;t want to risk another DOTA now do we?

The sad truth is that one way or another this will likely happen with all devs. I mean it's not the name or engine they use, it's the people. So if everyone that worked on a good game left it's very likely the dev's next game won't be the same quality.

Bungie

They really were the best devs in their prime.

On top of making great games they had great community interaction which they also supported wholeheartedly.

Level-5

Piranha Bytes
NovaLogic

was just about to say this
where is my dark cloud 3

you and me
we both understand

CAVE

Does there even exist a company that made an still makes good games, with hardly any dip in quality?

The only one I can think of off the top of my head is Falcom.

Factor 5

do they even make games anymore? There was a time when they were porting their games to mobile but I've heard jack shit from them after that.

Yeah Bungie was my suggestions.

>Marty fired
>Frank O Connor left for 343
>JOE STATEN LEFT

The greats of the studio are gone, and because of this Bungie has lost its signature charm.

I laugh but it hurts.

yep

IntSys

went from thousand year door, FE9, and advance war to color splash, fates, and nothing

literally
LITERALLY

EVERY FORMER PC DEV EVER

They are all a shadow of their former selves and rely on kickstarter/early access/crowd funding scams or F2P shit, and PC development is completely shit tier nowadays - not helped by the fact that the masterrace supports this type of development en masse.

Mechwarrior and Mechcommander games in the 90's? Relegated to F2P shit and a kickstarter project today.

Crysis? Every entry afterwards pandered to consoles because PC can not support AAA gaming

Valve? No more gaymu, go hommu whitu piggu, Steam gives us all the free money we need now, all we might do or fund are games with markets, microtransactions, e-sport and bets like CSGO and Dota2

Ensemble Studios? More like Age of Vampires, because they are all in a fucking grave now. kill me for that one please. first thing that came to my head

I don't even think I need to explain why "nu-Blizzard" is a term now, you get it.

The overall quality has just been shitty. recent Warhammer games have been hit or miss, mostly on the "miss" side of things.
Same for CiV, TotalWar, and the other dozen or so franchises that you may connect to those

Good PC development culture died in the early 2000's. Then resurected and developed terminal cancer starting in the 2010's

It's LoL, Dota2, CSGO, F2P shit that gets millions. Lets not even go into Early Access (which I'm sure at least 30% of people ITT supported at least once) Last I heard Rust sold 4 million, and DayZ 6million+, something stupid like that. This is what YOU created.

The best PC games are console ports. Every current developer must either pander to consoles (just think about any AAA game, Witcher3, DeusEx, TeS, etc) or become a crowdfunded/early access scam.

It's a shame, really.
Thankfully I like japanese games just as much, and since console development very rarely relies on crowd funding or early access, they are still safe.

>Naught Dog
>bad
They don't make games I'm interested in, but they still look fine. What's wrong with their Indiana Jones simulator and Zombie stealth game?

>Konami

I wish Konami fit even that meager qualification.

They basically don't do anything at all now. Just hire a few outside companies to phone something in they can slap their name on, strain on the bowl until another DDR shits out into the water, and go back to pachinko.

Arena Net

Marvelous hasn't made a good Harvest Moon since Animal Parade. It's a shame since it was my favorite third party Nintendo franchise. I would always look forward to new HM's on the newest Nintendo console, right up there with stuff like Zelda and Pokemon. It's shameful to realize but AP was part of the problem. The bachelors were so attractive but not unbearably attractive like in new games. They still had a HM charm and felt like they could exist in rural Japan/Europe/America/Canada. Marvelous noted that everyone liked the hot guys so they made the games more husbando bait, more fluffy, and more about romance. There's a reason Waku left for Hometown Story.

Bungie

Ensemble Studios

How about devs that still produce good stuff but not how you want?

Like many 90s kids, I grew up on Insomniac and Naughty Dog. Spyro and Crash were the bee's knees. I admit, I never got into Jak or Ratchet as a kid but I got into them recently and they're reasonably good platformers. Nowadays, Insomniac is focused on such grungy stuff like The Last of Us or Uncharted. They're not bad but I fear they won't make another brightly toned platformer again. I don't really care about these realistic, human centric stuff. I want more platformers. They can do their other genres too but it feels wrong for such famous platformer devs to "move on", especially when they have no successors. Hopefully due to the increasing nostalgia over late 90s games, there will be a lot of platformers like Yooka Laylee and Lobo Destroyo come out and some good devs will take over where Insomniac and Naughty Dog left.

I'm scared creative assembley has gone that way. They've started putting copious amounts of DLC in their games, essential stuff like factions, and it's just gotten to the point I can't even be bothered to look at their latest releases.

insomniac games

:(

bullfrog

Monolith, they barely make anything nowadays.

>shit developer back then
>now consistently makes good games

What's her name?

Hometown story was 100% pure garbage, along with every other game natsume has tried to make by itself.

Good for them for trying, but please just stop, natsume

BioWare.

I'm still fucking amazed at how passionate and devoted their fans are to them and how people can think they're Gods beyond reproach.

The fuck are you talking about Attila and Warhammer are some of their greatest games.

dice
Ensemble Studios

Lol. Bioware.

Easy shit. Next?

GSC gaming?

All of them.

Literally fucking all of them.

Seriously, find me a dev who's been around for more than ten years who ISN'T a shadow of their former selves.

I'll wait.

Not interested in Warhammer, slightly more interested in Attilla. Does it have a decent campaign that isn't riddled with DLC only factions?

Bioware went from being unable to make a bad game to being unable to make a good game

Atlus
They milk persona but they still come out with plenty of actual SMT and Etrian Odyssey games

>GSC game world
stalker 2 never

>atlus

Persona games already disproves you. literally the bottom of the barrel of weeb games

Hometown Story was average. I feel it can be made into a franchise with some sprucing up. The original HM was bare but 64 made it much better.

Also, HS wasn't made by Natsume. Natsume needs to quit making faux HM games. Give xSeed the license and call their crappy spiritual successors something else. I swear, a Stardew Valley Switch physical port would make more than both Natsume "Harvest Moon games" combined.

Call of Duty
Pokémon
Sonic
Mario
Fallout

Also

GTA
Castlevania

Yokai Watch is GOAT, mate.

How? I played a demo of that cave eShop game and it was fun.
