WORST game company?

Sir Degrader · 06-08-2004, 03:23 PM

I'd have to go for either EA or Atari/Infrogames. Both ruined excellent licenses (LOTR, UT, TOEE) and release tons of crap games, as well as destroy good companies.

I say volition (at least in the case of the Summoner 1&2 games)

Do not lay waste upon Volition! Summoner 1&2 are awesome, Freespace 1&2 are the best space combat sims to date and Red Faction 1&2(can you see a pattern here?) have revolutionarized the whole concept of cave levels(well, 2 wasn't really good, but what the hell...)!
I would like to nominate my dear Eidos for unleashing Lara Croft upon the face of Earth, with Deus Ex being their only redeeming quality.

Atari. Like all the good games they released were not their doing (NWN+expansions for example). It was atari that did ToEE release isn't it?

Actually Ion Storm did 95% of Deus Ex, but they also release Daikatana, so I guess it evens out. Yes Atari did release TOEE

What!?!?!?!? Have you never heard of Legacy of Kain?! It's only one of the best gaming series in existence!

Hooray for compelling storylines!

Hmmm... about EA, I agree EA in recent years have released alot of VERY bad games but I just can't hate them, for one reason!

The Desert Strike series of games in the nineties!

THEY ROCKED!!!

Can't agree more EA is the worst of the worst to destroy good companys and kill their good gameseries and then only pull out crap games i never would purchase!

Bluebyte, the maker of Setlers 3. That game was so buggy. And they have the nerve of blaming those nugs on some virus.

3do, for their horrible business decision making which bring to their own destrcution and ultimately close down NWC as well.

Didn't Ion Storm make the System Shock games and Thief 3 as well? I think it puts them on the plus side.
