I'd tell Cliffy B. to stop making games, because he is basically the worlds oldest 12 year old.

I'd tell Bioware to stop with this putrid spewing of EA motivated DLC and to develop an engine where the characters don't move like anamatronic robots.

I'd tell Valve I love them but really want Episode 3 to come out.

I'd tell Gearbox I love them but really want to play Duke Nukem Forever.

RareWare has recently raped one of my all time favorite games from my childhood.
Banjo Kazooie and Banjo Tooie.

Microsoft is the main friggin reason it happened, things went down after M$ purchased them from Nintendo.

STOP RAPING BANJO!
We need a new platformer BK game to fix the abomination you've created!

I mean cars?, WTH man!
Thats not Banjo!

We haven't reached the Race part of the series yet!
I mean Crash Bandicoot had at least 3 games before it got raped with a racing game.
THIS ISNT FAIR!

Must avenge Banjo *pulls out gun*

*Squirts water from my water gun*
Yes, we need Banjo Threeie! Grunty promised her revenge (also she needs to rhyme again :p)!
We got to Jak 3 (loved 1-3 btw <3) before Jak X Racing, I just want me some more classic B&K. The challenging platforming, the fun environments and characters, the witty dialogue, the flying saucer minigame, I want it all! N&B wasn't bad in its own right, but it's not Threeie gosh darnit!

Blizzard: You got the power to socially engineer the whole wow community to anything you like. You managed to engineer in Lich almost everyone to be whining noob who takes eveything for granted. You can do the reverse you can teach people to work for their success.

Valve: Finish EP3 already.

Bungie, hire someone who can write a good story!
I like most things in the Halo games, but have never really gotten into the stories that accompany them.
They're not bad, but they could be so much better.
Both ODST and Reach could've made for really great, epic, dramatic stories, but they're just so meh.
So disappointing.

Bioware pretty please make a KOTOR port for DS. It would not only totally work, it would be totally amazing.

2K Marin: I'm one of the ten people in the world that actually liked Bioshock 2. So...thanks.

Obsidian: Quality assurance...not optional.

Bioware: Just because I fantasize about Valve making Ep. 3 while I'm making love to you doesn't mean I don't love you. I know you hate it when I compare Shepard to Freeman but...

I would go to Lionhead and show them the original Fable. I would make them play it and realize that they had something good going on. Id tell them to stop with the "innovation" and stick with what they know works. I'd also say a few swear words to good ol' Peter.

But in all seriousness if you could really tell any game developer one thing what would it be?

I think that won't solve anything.
I believe they've played it so many times, that they can't see anymore what made it what it is. Where the whole magic comes from.

You know, very often when you create something, you look at it every day, every second, and you get so used to seeing it that you can't tell anymore how someone would react to it when he sees it for the first time. Same happens in the game industry - people play and play and play and at some point everything looks cliche, everything is stupid and there's nothing you can come up with anymore that hasn't been done already in the exact same way. It's a tough job, really.


OT:
When I see game developers I usually ask them for a job, or make puppy eyes, see if it works. :p
Actually no, last time I saw one of the Directors of Fable, I asked him to give me videos of Fable 3 (it was last year). Ahhh what an embarrassment.

Hmmm.....

Valve:.......Oh, you know.

Bethesda: Stop picking up voice actors at a hospital for lobotomy patients.

I don't even play those games, I just saw this while scrolling down the page and it made me laugh my ass off. Thank you for this.

Anywhoo.....

Bungie: Good job, guys. Don't listen to the Escapist, they're kind of elitist.

Infinity Ward: DUAL WIELDING SHOTGUNS????!!!!! WHAT IN THE FUCKING FUCK WERE YOU FUCKING THINKING PUTTING FUCKING DUAL FUCKING WIELDING FUCKING SHOTGUNS IN YOUR FUCKING GAME WHAT THE FUCK???!!!!

Irrational Games: Would you kindly hurry up with Bioshock Infinite?

Insomniac: The Spyro games got me into gaming.

Naughty Dog: Make the cast of Uncharted more believable as characters through consistency, and please stop the film from being made because it has the Curse of Walberg on it.

Yeah, that should cover it.

i would actually like to say something to the publishlers. i know you have stockholders breathing down your neck, and i know that being in charge of so many peoples jobs and money is a very stressful thing. that being said, please take chances on new and unique ideas. let development studios play around a bit with their ideas instead of insisting that they make a game mimicing the most popular ideas and brands at the time. the generic gray-brown shooter money will dry up eventually.
