Duke Nukem Forever, the whole palarva.
This. Especially after seeing the gameplay leaks on youtube, limited as they were. if games weren't so freakin expensive to make I bet the fans would have helped make it happen.

SouthPeak is a publisher. They've never made a game, they just publish games like Two Worlds, X-Blades and Dementium: The Ward.

Activision dropping Brutal Legend and then sueing the company who picked it up because they were jealous because they let a good thing fly by.

Go fuck yourself Activision, you lost what might've been your only game that was good and wasn't part of your game whore-out (Guitar Hero, Tony Hawk, etc.) and then you have the balls to try and sue someone else for your fuck ups, go straight to hell Activision.

Also Nintendo for not making ONE FUCKING GAME that has been worth two shits on the Wii so far. Seriously, Nintendo, I know you're quite happy that you've sold a load of Wii's and made alot of money, good? Now make some decent games or your next console if going to flop really fucking hard because now people will know your track record.

Midway deciding to release Hour of Victory, Turning Point and Blacksite.

Yes. One Publisher made all of those monumentally horrid games.

Konami giving Silent Hill to Americans. Probably coming off as weeaboo here, but it's true.
No, you're right. Silent Hill got Pyramid Head-style raped when they dave it to a different dev other than Team Silent. It was like if fans of the movie made the game. What a fucking mess that game is, and I haven't even got too far.

Has to be Square's movements. They seem to think that merely releasing games on the 360, rather than actually making games that are good is going to get them more sales in the west. It's so fucking retarded to see them flop around like idiots praying that whatever crap they release on the 360 is just going to give them the western market because it is on the 360 and westerners like the 360. I wish they would fire Wada, quit trying to make games palatable to westerners, and get back to making games that are actually up to snuff.

I would probalby rant about Left 4 Dead 2. Sure it looks nice and all but announcing a sequal for a new franchise a half year after the first one? Valve, think about your reputation!
