The 'which developer is most evil >:D' thread

[TheDharmaFox]

That was already remade in Umbrella Chronicles. I'm talking about G.

Oh yeah, that was a fun battle in Darkside, but I seriously think that the Leon story was kind of meh, it was cool to see how he and Krauser knew each other, but I think the monsters you encountered were a little silly.

Silly? They were great! They were creative! They were Resident Evil monsters!

Eh, that's just me, going through the Code Veronica levels were fun, really sparked my interest in getting the HD release, probably would've bought it anyway, it was a classic RE game I hadn't played.

You never played Code Veronica?! It's directed by THE GOD OF GAMING!!!
Also, Darkside Chronicles took a looooot of liberties with the story.

No I know it took some big liberties, because I played the HD release of Code Veronica, and it was great

There isn't any concrete proof they will but they did say it's open for discussion, the first time they were asked will they be localizing it, they literally said "Nope, sorry" That's what pissed a load of us off, they didn't even give us a good reason.

I will still hold out hope but I am not counting on it...

Not to mention they gave Devil May Cry, a beloved video game series to Ninja Theory so they could literally play with it, when Dante's new look was shot down by fans, Capcom said they KNEW it was going to have negative backlash, but they did it anyway. That's complete shit.

That said, Shu Takumi is a genius! Best thing Capcom has. Still waiting on the the Ace Attorney and Prof Layton Crossover announcement (they could at the very least say they are working on it)

I hope you're prepared to argue with a brick wall...

OT:
I'd probably have to say either Square Enix or Bethesda Square Enix. Maybe Capcom Square Enix... or Konami Square Enix... wait! I know. Epic Games Square Enix.

Don't get me wrong, I don't mind the games Square Enix makes/publishes. But they're a pretty damn cartoonishly evil company when it comes to their PR.

 

[shrekfan246]

I still love Square Enix, but until they make a Kingdom Hearts HD Collection, The World Ends With You 2 and FFVersusXIII on Xbox 360, we still have some problems, get cracking on KH3 square!

Yeah, exactly my point.

I like to think that Square Enix is made up of a bunch of people who sit around their desks all day like this:

EA with their shitty online passes make them my most hated developer.
I don't have a Capcom game, but I know they are evil too.
Basically all the big publishers are creating unoriginal or very little content and should all be ashamed.

Jim did NOT spit enough metaphorical acid at them in his Ubisoft episode! They have done FAR more shit over the entirety of this generation that he didn't bring up!

i would say NIIIIIIIIINNNNNNEEEEENNNNNNNDDDDDDO. all they do is take old games and rape them. over and over. also because you must be a nintendo fanboy.

Wait, who's "Ninendo"?

ok, you got me. nintendo. there. i misspelled because i was raging at karutomaru.

When have they ever done that?

mario, sonic, pokemon, zelda, the list goes on. all these games have had abysmal entries recently, either bringing nothing to the table thats new/fun[ pokemon black/white], or just being shit [skyward sword].

But all those games were good... I didn't think Skyward Sword was a great Zelda game either, but I would never call it anywhere close to bad.

same with ubisoft. what they put out is not shit, its good stuff. you just have a hate for them, for whatever reason. nintendo isnt the worst company ever, just that they are essentially the activision of casual games. they havent started a new series in near a decade, and if they have, it was pretty shit, because i keep up in gaming news, and ive never heard, in my decade or so of doing this, that "nintendo is making a new IP!"

Probably Ubisoft, I have abandoned them long ago due to their DRM.
Though my really personal choice is SPORE, I will never forgive Maxis or EA for this!
Of the things the OP mentioned, these fit the game the most.

*Not delivering what was promised
*Hype to the extreme (sometimes / always never delivering the hype)
*Casuals are better then hardcores (Oops, did we say that out loud?)
*Broken games
*Obnoxious / arrogant developers (People will buy our game because it is amazing)
*Clearly lazy development
*BUGS!
*Convoluted non-functioning DRM

Here I was expecting a game with a bit of respect for evolution-science and interesting gameplay, and they give me this shit based on intelligent design (their words in interviews!!) and with horribly dull gameplay and meaningless customization (functions never changed, you could only design appearances for objects. You were also forced to make the most ungodly creatures because you needed a certain type of mouth or hands to be effective.

There are those wonderful publishers that take the time to make lovely games for you, of course they want you to pay for the game, after all, it took them a while and a half to make it and plenty of effort, but out of all the publishers you know, which publishers would you say are most evil and which is THE MOST EVIL of the most evil publishers?

Evilness examples can consist of:

*Repeating the same game or series to make lots of monies
*Teasing fans with news of a game they have waited for for like ages and shit only to burst their bubble with a 'nah, never mind'
*Not delivering what was promised
*Hype to the extreme (sometimes / always never delivering the hype)
*Unnecessary DLC
*Unnecessary sequels to what could have been DLC
*Casuals are better then hardcores (Oops, did we say that out loud?)
*Broken games
*Obnoxious / arrogant developers (People will buy our game because it is amazing)
*Clearly lazy development
*Cheapest alternative for more gain
*Ruining games that were literally epic with lame sequels
*BUGS!
*Convoluted non-functioning DRM
*All of the above

Fixed

Valve because seriously fuck them.

"We can't get DLC to the consoles because MS/Sony won't let us!!!"

*Looks at the heaps of awesome DLC Borderlands, Fallout, and Bioware's games get*

Really Valve? Really?

No, it's because they refuse to have their DLC paid for. MS and Sony won't let free DLC slide, so they don't give it out.

Almost all the Left 4 Dead DLC was paid, invalidating your argument.

And if that really is the reason Valve is worse then I thought.

"If we can't give it to you free then we're not going to give it to you at all."

In what bizarro world does that make any sort of sense? How is that in any way fair to the customers who bought their games on consoles? Because Sony/MS won't let you release stuff for free you're going to punish US?

I mean, fuck, most people are willing to pay Call of Duty map pack prices so long as we get something.

Well games like tf2 have had stupid amounts of extra content, if you payed for all of that you'd be broke
L4D on the other hand, hasn't had that many actual content patches. They'd feel better about that. Can you blame them for not wanting to get the terrible PR they would get if they released the paid tf2 dlc?
People would have a shit fit, and their company would lose a lot of credibility.

Capcom would never viciously betray their fans. Have faith in them.

Mega Man Legends 3, on-disc DLC and the new DmC game your argument is invalid.

 

[Hazy992]

I want to believe you, but I need proof!

Goddammit Karutomaru, can't you see the irony of your own statements?!

A good argument doesn't need proof

[sub]I'm sorry, it was just so gosh darn tempting I couldn't resist [/sub]

 

[Hazy992]

[sub]A good argument doesn't need proof [/sub]

You know, I burst out laughing when I read that part I quoted.

But it wasn't supposed to be funny! It's true! The only proof we need is Karutomaru's 'because I say so'

What about Megaman Legends 3? Is the new DMC on a Nintendo system? What Nintendo game from Capcom has ever had on-disc DLC?

Does it really need to be said again that there are consoles besides Nintendo? Seriously? This still hasn't gotten through? How is that even possible?

Ubisoft never made a bad game on the Atari Jaguar so they're a good company, and you can't refute that. Same absurd logic you're employing here buddy.
