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

[Enthuril]

You should have a poll with only two options.

EA or Activision.

And neither of those are developers. They are both publishers.

EA is technically a bit of both, since they have their own development studios.

Well no they fucking don't. They buy profitable studios, slap an EA badge on them, gut the staff and call it a day.

EA Bioware
EA Maxis

EA "Sports"

That's their business model in a nutshell. They're a developer in the same way that a holding company is the company that it owns. I.e. they're the same to people who don't know what the difference is.

To be fair most of their studios are nothing of what they used to be, so they're more EA than they are anything.

Which doesn't invalidate my point even slightly. At their core, EA are still a publisher.

Never said they weren't, I was merely pointing out that EA are technically a developer as well. Doesn't matter what they are either way though, they're still pretty shit.

In this thread, yes it kinda does. They are in no way a developer as they Don't. Create. Games. They Just Buy And Sell Companies Who Do Create Them.

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].

Activision, if I'm forced not to choose EA (seeing how most people in this thread have mentioned them). From their general overpriced DLC to axing franchises that still show potential. In most cases I despise them more than EA.

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?

Brave poster is brave. Do you know what the subtleties of "why valve won't release updates to consoles" are?

XBOX charge a shitload of money for each patch to go through. do you have any idea how often those patches are released for the source engine?

Bethesda and other companies don't seem to have too much trouble affording updates and it's not like we're asking for updates every week. Any updates would be nice and not just two or three then abandon the game entirely pretending it doesn't exist.

If memory serves me correct updates for LIVE cost around 30 grand. Valve is a multi-billion dollar company. You telling me they can't afford it?

If you step back and examine the situation you'd realize they don't really have that great an excuse. Too bad most Valve fans have Gabe's cock rammed halfway down their throat cutting off oxygen to their brain and preventing them from thinking logically.

I'm just gonna hate on Capcom for what the did to RE, I may just be bitter because lots of people right now certainly seem to be giving RE6 attention because of it's new direction, and I feel tons of hate to the original fanbase as they watch what was once peaking, sink into mediocrity and a series of quicktime events.
And yes, I think 4 was the peak of the series, we need a classic RE setting, with the over the shoulder camera, and puzzles. from what I played of Revelations, it was just what I wanted but.... on a handheld, meanwhile ORC gets the console.

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.

Oh god, I read the thread title and just knew Karutomaru would be bringing his delusional ass with him. By god was I right.

OT: No developer is truely evil, it's the publishers I tellz ya.

Also, if the mods are reading this, can you please suspend me for three days. I got assignments to finish. This website...... it.... it calls to me.

EA does develop, just not strictly under the name Electronic Arts, the Madden series is developed by EA Tiburon, which used to be Tiburon entertainment but of course EA swallowed them whole like so many others. It's a gray zone but EA Tiburon is still technically now EA, even if it once was separate.

What are you talking about? Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles was one of the best games of the generation! And Resident Evil 5 is probably just as awesome as 4. I'll have to see for myself when they bring it to the Wii.

Can you link me to the source where it says they will port it to wii?

I did buy both Chronicle games, and I liked both of them, but they're really just summary games, with one new piece of canon to fill in some plot holes, and I appreciate them for their role, but really they don't add much, except for some fun co-op time.

As for RE5, it drained the charm out of the franchise for me, no merchant, just some impersonal menu between chapters, Chris went in some directions that made him feel like a pretty 2D character, and Sheva is just there to calm controversy. It's not a bad game, in fact it's really well put together, and the co-op works wonderfully; but it doesn't FEEL like an RE game, that's it's only flaw.

And from what E3 showed me, it's just more of the same for 6.
