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

[asamoah19]

EA
Purchasing Westwood Studios and completely dismantling them all - effectively killing the Command & Conquer franchise forever. (Don't get me started on Generals. That game was nothing like the C&C classics.)

Endless yearly sequels that are rushed, and as a result are never as good as the previous installment.

Valve killed my family! and I don't like that kind of thing.

Rockstar made grand theft auto semi-depressing. I was really lokking forward to that game.

=[

lol

And also EA puts DRM on any game they make.

Fable 2 for all that God damned hype. I missed the original Fable hype, so didn't suspect Peter M was talking out of his arse.

*seethe*

Also, the ending of 'Legacy of Kain: Defiance'. I was absolutely gutted over Raziel.

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.

Sweet baby Jesus biscuits. You, poor, unfortunate girl. Don't worry, soon L4D fandom will be taken over by yaoi fangirls writing Louis/Bill slashfic. Then your nightmare will be over. Albeit for entirely new ones to begin, but still...

Let's see... things that have hacked massively disproportionate chips out of my shoulders...

Whoever it was at Bethesda who came up with Oblivion's cast-iron, omnipotent scaled levelling system. Took a game which may have lasted me forever and did irrevocable damage to my RPGing soul.

Sega/Creative Assembly for the hardcoded limits on modding the Total War games. If you're going to make a strategic AI with the general personality of a violent 8 year old on a sugar rush you could at least give your scarily devoted fanbase the chance to fix it.

A variety of developers which have apparently decided whether to support nvidia's laptop cards by chucking darts at a board and then made their decision to not do so rather hard to find. Made me rather paranoid I can tell you.

The answer, of course is:

Obsidian Entertainment

with the KOTOR: the Sith Lords

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

I'm going to say TFU is worse then KOTOR2, even the last 2 hours of KOTOR2.

However, I said it in another thread, and I'll say it again here - Playdoh and safety pins

 

[Talon_Kale]

SOE for destroying starwars galaxies in 2 easy steps.

 

[NXMT]

The watering-down of the Thief series. I don't recognize it anymore and I died a little inside. Haven't really had anything else worse than that happen to me.

Other than Oblivion and Fallout 3 maybe for making me break records for staying in front of my monitor the longest.

 

[elmaxx]

Spore.








That is all.

 

[L33tsauce_Marty]

Helped design the new 50 Cent game.

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.

God...I feel so bad for them. Who is stupid enough to make that game?! WHO I ASK? WHO?!

Who will even buy it?

 

[Ace of Spades]

EA dangled Mirror's Edge over my head for a few months back when I was a PC gamer, and decided that it would come out for consoles on the day it was supposed to, but you get to eat shit PC gamers.

EA
Purchasing Westwood Studios and completely dismantling them all - effectively killing the Command & Conquer franchaise forever. (Don't get me started on Generals. That game was nothing like the C&C classics.)

Rockstar
Releasing GTAIV for PC... MONTHS after the console version with piss-poor preformance.
I don't care a bloody thing about it being "future-proof". The game is an abomination and the developers are bringing PC gaming to shame for it.

TEAM 17
Choosing to go 3D with their most beloved and infamous franchaise; Worms effectively killing the series - And no, Worms on the NDS is not good enough to make up for it.

I agree with that.
