What the hell were you thinking!?

[Ryan-Phoenixan]

Sonic Team, for well you know...

The biggest one would be Sonic 2006 as a whole.

The guy who thought that the malaria in Far Cry 2 was a good idea.

lol Yes. I don't mind the whole idea of being sick and fighting it, or whatever, but it sure doesn't make for a good "mixing up" of things in the game, since you can be in the middle of a firefight, want to heal yourself, when suddenly, you get a malaria attack and find that you're pulling out pills for your fix rather than pulling a bullet out of your leg.

Which usually results in death and a buddy rescue.

Bethesda, for taking a dump all over Oblivion and screwing up what should have been an epic follow-up to Morrowind. So let's take out all the things that made Morrowind great, such as awesome fast travel, all types of ranged weapons, a highly unique and intellectually stimulating fictional backdrop, awesome art design, and a sense of actual progress. And let's go ahead and replace those with, respectively, a boringly generic fast travel system, boring bows, a generic medieval setting, dull and uninspired although technically stunning architecture and scenery, and ridiculous critter/NPC levelling. And on top of that, taking out the most awesome spells from Morrowind i.e. Levitate, Jump/Slow Fall, Mark/Recall, Interventions, and making the mod community do your work for you.

At least Fallout 3 was good.

I would just sit before Bobby Kotick and weep while yelling "Whyyy!!!!" I just cannot understand that man, for everything he did with both 4Kids (yes he was the CEO of 4Kids, explains a lot doesn't it?) and Activision-Blizzard.

He was the CEO of 4kids? Seriously? That explains SO MUCH.

OT: I would ask 3d realms who the venture capitalists were that gave them tons of money to make duke nukem forever when it still hadn't been produced after a dozen years. I mean, if those people were willing to shovel money into THAT...

 

[gigastrike]

What's the name of the guy who ruined Spore? ...Yeah, him.

 

[SantoUno]

I just realized, "What the hell were you they thinking!?" is AVGN's catch phrash sometimes. Lol imagine if he came upon this thread he would have a SHITLOAD to say for every game he has played.

 

[shadow skill]

Hayashi for replacing my blood fountains with purple mist.

I'd meet the creators of Cooking Mama and punch them so hard their grandchildren feel it.

I work in Game and I totally agree. If I hear another GameRadio Cooking Mama 3 advert I will be murdering a lot of people.
"Use the crops you grow in Gardening Mama"
(Cooking Mama) "YOU CAN DO IT!"
"Make and perfect brand new recipies!"
"WOW! EVEN-a BETTER THAN MAMA!"

*twitch*

Also, every creator of every ridiculous piece of shovelware that exists on the Wii/DS.

Haha. You're a lucky sod for working at Game at least.
They may as well advertise the game with the tagline "Cooking Mama. Sending women back to the kitchen since 2006."
I hate that game >.<

You actually get a free cookbook with it now. The amount of middle aged women that get ridiculously excited about that...

 

[orangebandguy]

Why why did you make GTA IV nothing like it's predessecors?!!

 

[Darth Pope]

I'd ask the original Fail Sonic Team why they put that goddamn barrel into Sonic 3.

 

[Jacob.pederson]

Jak 2.

The essentially turned a cutesy platformer for kids into something that was just... strange. It wasn't good, it wasn't adult. It kind of sat in the grey area between being lame for teenagers and being too adult for kids to get it.

I will never understand why they did that.

I absolutely loved Dawn of Sorrow... and hate to tell you this, but the characters were anime to begin with, even in Aria of Sorrow. It's a Japanese game.

I think you missed the part where he said they traded the traditional gothic artwork for (generic) anime. Because they did. The art style changed drastically, as well as the story itself. Granted, if you look at the original Castlevania, the art style leaned more towards Conan the Barbarian. Simon Belmont looked like He-Man. I'm not sure where you're getting the 'it was always anime!' thing.

Perhaps Thiaus thinks the series started out on the DS

 

[Optimus Hagrid]

Why, in Earthbound Zero...

1.) ...is there an encounter every five steps?

2.) ...is there four different types of identical healing spell?

3.) ...does Loid start at level 1 at about 45 minutes into the game?

4.) ...does Ana start at level 1 at about 75 minutes into the game?

5.) ...are Ana and Loid rubbish?

6.) ...does increasing/decreasing your/the enemy's offense/defence not do anything?

7.) ...is there an encounter every five steps?

8.) ...is the hosptial so frakkin' expensive and is the only cure for a cold until you get to Snowman?

9.) YUCCA DESERT, DUNCAN'S FACTORY, YOUNGTOWN SWAMP, MT ITOI.

There's also the fact it was never released, which is a bit of a bad design decision.

 

[KAPTAINmORGANnWo4life]

Capcom: "Otis?"

Square: "PlayStation?" (Think of the shit that happened down the road that could have been avoided if they stayed with Nintendo, and their cartoony style)

All major publishers: "Shovel-ware?"

Microsoft: "Pay for Online?"

Nintendo: "Online?"

Bethesda: "Are you Gods?"

BioWare: "Are you Gods?"

Silicon Knights: "Eternal Darkness 2 (please)?"

3D Realms: "Was it ever even intended to come out?"

 

[Rusty Bucket]

I'd ask Bioware why they even made other classes in Mass Effect since the game is clearly designed for the soldier class, and extremely difficult with any other class.

Really? I went through on hardcore with an Infiltrator. It wasn't hard. My friend went through hardcore with a pure Biotic.

 

[xscoot]

Where is the NA release of Tales of Vesperia Namco?

Where is it?

Also:

Sucker Punch, how the hell did you make Sly 3 so crap? Same goes to Naughty Dog for Jak 3, and Insomniac for Ratchet: Deadlocked.You took something great, and screwed it up horribly.

Rare? Banjo-Kazootie is dead, stop the series. Nuts and Bolts was not good. It was not good at all.

IW? Just... wow. Why don't you add dual-wield riot shields with heartbeat monitors?
