>the modern day equivalent of a company who made tons of shovelware to sell them simply based on brand recognition
hmmm
Levi Powell
Activision.
Gavin Anderson
LJN didn't make a single one of their games though.
Atlus, Rare, Pack in Video, Westone, they developed for LJN.
Also, Rare and Atlus' titles were usually decent.
Kayden Morgan
EA
Angel Flores
>Which company is the modern day equivalent of LJN?
I'd say certain smartphone gaming companies who makes licensed shovelware
Anthony Wilson
Ubisoft.
They exclusively make absolute trash and no matter what genre they make, it's all samey bullshut with the same cliches and mechanics.
YET THEY SOMEHOW KEEP MAKING FUCKING MONEY
Isaiah Williams
I would say Zoo or THQ but they're both out of business now.
Robert Butler
After watching AVGN, I really question if there was some care put into these games, but something fucked up. It looked like LJN games tried to do something. I don't know.
Isaiah Gonzalez
Gotta go with Ubisoft
Gabriel Long
>tfw Todd's been making absolute shite since the 80's
Brayden Perez
So is 'LJN' the new term people co-opted to mean 'thing I don't like'?
Jordan Anderson
My first thought was EA, but it could just be because of the rainbow.
Christian Sanders
Ubisoft and EA sort of work.
If you disagree name a better one you fucking dweeb.

Dylan Brooks
Deep Silver released a ton of crap as a publisher despite having a few good ones. For every X-Universe and S.T.A.L.K.E.R. there was a Sacred 3 and Ride to Hell

If it isn't Borderlands, it's going to be made with the lowest possible budget ever given to a dev
Aiden Phillips
Coldstone creamery the game.
Carter Murphy
No they don't sort of work
LJN made universally panned games, ubisoft and ea games are mostly hated by contrarians on message boards
Ayden Reed
Compile Heart
David Reyes
Shut up retard
Ubisoft keeps shelling out trash, unfinished games and then on top of that, puts out season passes before release to try and nickel and dime people
Joshua Young
Spot the shill
Ubisoft hasn't made a good game in years
Brayden Nelson

THPS5

There is more but you get the idea.

Fun fact: the former CEO of Cold Stone is now the governor of Arizona.
Landon Nelson
Oh God...what company makes games with shit controls/good graphics or good controls/shit graphics exclusively these days?
Jackson Cox
Adult swim games or Devolver Digital
Cooper Harris
I still like Bill and Ted's Excellent video game Adventure. I don't care what anyone else says. Sure they PUBLISHED a lot of crappy licensed games, but not all of them are bad just because AVGN says so.
Ian Fisher
Connor Gutierrez
Ubisoft
>Whoa guys our next game isn't even out but you can preorder our gold edition with the season pass for $100
Aiden Walker
Thats your opinion
But millions of others disagree, now you won't find millions liking LJN games
Noah Scott
Either Ubisoft or EA. I'm going with EA since they publish more shitty licensed games, like the Battlefront/other new star wars, and sports games.
Ethan Anderson
Nintendo
Christian Hill
EA
Jaxson Garcia
Fuck Cold Stone's pistachio flavor
Noah Harris
What games did Atlus make for them?
Colton Kelly
APPROACHING THE SOUND BARRIER
Mason Fisher
Off of the top of my head, Friday the 13th and Karate Kid.
Adrian Peterson
Karate Kid, Friday the 13th, both Town and Country games.
Think there's a few more.
Rare made the Nightmare on Elm Street game, which is a legitimately good game.
Kevin Taylor
The majority of people who like Ubisoft games didn't like videogames when LJN was releasing games, so they sorta don't count given there's a good chance they would have liked LJN games at the time. It was only due to memes that LJN was universally panned, but no such memes exist for Ubisoft because too many people have actually played their games and subsequently, liked them.

Oh, they made the Gotcha game, but my bad, only the first Town and Country game.

A shame, because i'm sure they have good talent there,
Samuel Gomez
Who besides avgn has panned LJN?
Carter Cooper
Did LJN publish any masterpieces like Ride to Hell
Alexander Smith
THQ was the LJN but nowadays I'd say Gameloft fills that niche.
Seriously, I tried playing one of those NOVA games the other day and it was such a shameless Halo ripoff. The only people I can see playing those games are children who can't afford xboxes
Jonathan Nguyen

Jaxon Bell
Joseph Sanders
I thought THQ games were alright at least, a bit generic and nothing special but they were pleasant enough for all the movie IPs they were making games of.
Luke Allen
Naughty Dog
Caleb Peterson
was thq, now i guess its activision
licsenced games arent popular anymore
Matthew Smith
I would say Telltale they make a bunch of low quality licensed crap, that is an obvious cash grab for uniformed people. Which was basically LJN's model of "success."
Joseph Jones
ljn doesnt make games you stupid fucking retards!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Juan Adams
LJN was just a publisher. They didn't really make those shitty games. Hell even Rare were guilty of a few shovelware NES titles released under LJN.
Luis Cox
I remember THQ published a bunch of licensed games.
Caleb Diaz
>the guy only wanted to make toys so kids could play out the shit they saw on TV
>only remembered for founding a company of the shittiest NES titles
Dominic Torres
Didn't Dickhouse make a video game? A Jackass video game?
Julian Rivera
the only correct answer
Chase Johnson
I can't for the life of understand why or how Sniper Ghost Warrior did well enough to spawn two sequels.
Such absolute buggy, uninteresting, unpolished shit trash.
It boggles my fucking mind man.
Robert Thomas
there are no equivalents
Owen Torres
>Be a publisher
>Publish already made shit games
This isn't much of a defense nor does it excuse them of responsibility. No one gives EA any slack for the shit they publish but didn't make in house.
Grayson Evans
LJN was only a publisher. Their real focus was toys. The games they published were developed by no-name companies that shortly died after a release or didn't make past the NES if not the SNES if they were that lucky. Funny enough, the SNES games they published had some polish in comparison.
Thomas Lee
They also massively fucked up the publishing process in general, doing business with shady key seller sites and blaming the devs for their questionable publishing deals.
I highly doubt that this branch of them will get any work soon after the shitshow that was the Bulletstorm "remaster".
