The worst thing a game developer's ever done to you?

[Ladie Au Pair]

Silent Hill 4: The Room

I'm not saying it's bad... but didn't belong in the series.

Helped design the new 50 Cent game.

Or make all Fallout 3's DLC XBox 360 only.

You helped design 50 Cent: Blood in the Sand?!

Bwahahahahahaha! That's so funny. I work at Volition and we cracked up when we saw the trailer.

 

[The Wooster]

Whoever invented the first Quick-Time Event. I'm not saying I hate them, but the success of pushing buttons in sequence just opened the floodgates to this immense horde of games featuring mind-numbingly tedious QTEs.

Every game you will ever play or have ever played is made up entirely of quick time events. A select few are just gracious enough to sometimes tell you what button to press.

That's practically Zen. Bravo.

Throwing the release of Mirror's Edge (PC) back TWO WHOLE FLAMING MONTHS and REFUSING TO GIVE US A DEMO. Don't ever do that again, DICE.

I suspect this is - once again - thanks to EA's paranoia, anti-PC outlook and customer hostility, not DICE's fault as such.

Amusingly, Mirror's Edge PC already surfaced on pirate sites. Wonder when EA will learn and stop shooting their own foot by staggered releases and DRM?

I feel a strong affinity towards Zoey. And that makes sense. She's a nerdy college student who likes zombies. I'm a nerdy college student who likes zombies. She even looks kinda like me.
Its just when Valve takes this character, places her in an extremely awesome game, and then adds Smokers, the result are comments of horny fanboys that kinda break my brain.

*puts on therapist glasses*

Okay, let me see if I've got this right. After the release of Left 4 Dead and you subsequently noticing the parallels between Zoey and yourself you've essentially seen random degenerates apply Rule #34 to a person that is, in essence, you?

It's nothing short of a miracle that you haven't had a breakdown.

Ninja Gaiden (Sigma...but it doesnt matter)

Ghost Fish and swimming. Why? Why is a ninja swimming and having to kill evil fish and mermaids? And THEN why do I have to kill ghost fish? They are easily among my top 3 most annoying enemies in a game.

Also, escort missions. Especially when the "escort" is retarded and has no knowledge of the most basic survival instincts. "Help me I'm dying! I just stand here and for some reason my health is going down..." I dont care if I get a game over; everytime an escort annoys me, I kill them at least once. On purpose. In the most destructive way possible.

Oh god, that would freak me the hell out

Only thing I can really think of is when Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess was pushed back for, I don't know, almost a year? By the time it game out, I had just lost all interest. Okami was better anyways

Oh, I got another one. Disgaea 2 was released two days after I started College.

 

[Inco]

Sega... for trying to resurrect the zombie corpse of sonic for the 2 last generations, and adding in each game a very bad soundtrack that makes my ears try to fold up on themselves to prevent damage to my nervous system.
Oh and for creating the game shadow the hedgehog.

 

[Valiance]

Starcraft. Terran mission 9.

The plot twist fucking made me rage so much, I loaded my game, spent about 3 hours clearing out the map of resources, left the protoss with 1 pylon, and built insane defenses, just to protect from the zerg attack at the end...

Yeah.

Obviously it didn't change the storyline.

But you can see how I viewed Kerrigan, I guess.

 

[Lancer723]

Blizzard

For hanging Starcraft: Ghost in front of my face and then taking it away in the blink of an eye.
I will never forgive them for this.

 

[Bob_Bobbington]

There being a lack of patch for the seriously broken Mass Effect PC. IT'S COMPLETELY UNPLAYABLE!!!! DAMN YOU!!!!

 

[Sewblon]

When Rock Star Made GTA4 so ugly, inconsistent and angst ridden then payed off all the review websites to give it a perfect score. Why do you hate me!

 

[killer_friend]

blizzard going from a RTS company to the WoW empire it is today, they just raped warcraft and made it addictive, and sprinkled some crack on the disk so you could only get your fix from playing it

What's unplayable about it? I'm just curious what kinds of problems you're having. I've played through it twice on the PC and haven't run into anything that stopped me from playing. Can't really even remember a bug off the top of my head (although this was, what, 6 months ago or so?)

 

[XboxFanBoy17]

Make games based of movies and TV show all of those games are F@$K horrible.

 

[thevegetarianzombie]

The answer, of course is:

Obsidian Entertainment

with the KOTOR: the Sith Lords

in the game's last two hours (or LACK thereof).

 

[blaberer6]

Electronic Arts for Red Alert 3 for putting DRM on it.
