If choosing as a developer Bethesda Game Studios. Their stubborn use of a buggy outdated engine has arguably slowed progress in open-world RPG design, indirectly holding back broader innovation.

If choosing as a publisher then Rockstar. Their focus on massive ultra-polished blockbusters has set unrealistic expectations for budgets, timelines, and development scope, pushing the industry toward slower releases and risk-averse creativity.

Solid post.

 

[Omnipunctual Godot]

This is a good one.

Its a toss up between modern Bethesda and naughty dog.

Naughty dog has never made game that impacted the industry like fallout and elder scrolls so ill have to choose Naughty Dog.

I never really played their games until Uncharted and I adore the first three but 4 was awful to me.

So yeah. Naughty Dog gotta go.

Question. Does it erase their old games because if not, its Naughty Dog easily. Because then I can still play uncharted 1 to 3 and lost legacy.

Nah, it doesn't erase the old games. One dev/publisher just stops and the others keep doing what they're doing.

 

[Scrawnton]

Bye bye Naughty Dog. Your gaming "experiences" can be easily replaced by a B tier Netflix series' writing staff and binge watching their newest slop. I can also grind out some good games whilst watching them too.

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

Naughty Dog. Their games just don't interest me at all. I'd rather watch a movie.

 

[jufonuk]

I don't know.

iD to go back independent then

 

[CliffBronger]

ND not even close.

I couldn't care less about their shit games.

 

[Woggleman]

In these polarizing times it is damn near impossible not to be divisive so that is a bad reason to hold it against somebody.

 

[Clear]

Why create divisive games instead of beloved games? For what purpose exactly?

That you'd even ask that shows you don't have a creative bone in your body.

The short answer is that if you follow what you perceive to be the audience's wants and not your own, it tends to be pretty obvious that its creatively treading water, or worse comes across as insincere and pandering. Also, its a dead-end. You can't surprise people by giving them what they expect.

Creatives should be encouraged to make what they want to make, not what the market expects.

EDIT: And another moron who uses the LOL emoji in place of cogent argument joins my blist.

Not in a genre and in a medium aimed at a large EXISTING audience which seeks entertainment and not GOTCHA PROVOCATION. But I guess you probably fancy yourself an AUTER like Druck.

Crearives definitely should not be given free reign the way you suggest.

Ahhh, Deffo naughty dog then.

 

[Sentenza]

For me it's a coin toss between Bethesda Games Studios and Naughty Dog.

The first makes games in a genre I love, but they are stuck in the same design mistakes since their inception and they never made one I genuinely liked.
The second is exceptionally good at crafting super-polished games with exceptional production value... In a genre (hyper-cinematic and heavily scripted linear action adventures) I can't honestly say excites me.

 

[Truth Be Told]

Bethesda, very easily.

Todd Howard is an overrated fast-food chef.

this short vid explains it better than 1k words:

Normally woman, even on mild dose of roids, would get buldozed with that gun hit(not bullet) to the head, in the game abby has cyborg-durable skull, that even brock lesnar would want to swap for, is on srs dosages of juice and somehow is voiced by very femine voice actress- where we all know voice is first thing woman loses, even 90-110lbs bikini competitors get that deep kratos voice after prolonged juicing

Even hbo(which is pretty woke too) knew how unnatural it all looked hence stark difference between crazy woke cuckman vision of tlou2-the game and the hbo show where some1 told him to fuck off with that craziness:


And its not like there was no compatible "actress material" to portrait game-abby, hell they could even go HAM on that character in tv show with women like this:

Dat voice tho, straight out of 7th cyrcle of hell, at least its body/musclemass apropriate
Remember, we are not talking about professional female bodybuilders who cycle for years, sideeffects of all kinds will happen way way earlier(u can google/learn about them but tldr woman basically gets more and more masculine in every possible way, voice, musclemass, clit enlargement, very thick bodyhair everywhere, including face, libido increase and plethora of others ), women have very fragile endocrine system and absolutely cant handle even mild(from men's perspective) roids dosages w/o showing crazy sideeffects

Really now?
Do you expect this kind of "realism" in all the games or are you triggered only when women beat men?

Im triggered enough to not spend my hard earned money for game that pushes clownworld agenda, its simple enough, cater to me- aka hetero male with traditional views- i buy ur game, u as a dev cater to progressive aka liberal cuck/alphabvet community/leftists/lesbians/feminists/furries and other ppl like that - dont expect my money in that case, plain and simple- u can hope for their money, but not for mine anymore, and spoilers, most of them dont play games, so rip on that too

Devs understood that basic law till dunno 2015-16 fairy well, after that they somehow feel entitled to money of ppl with traditional worldview while offering them game with opposite agenda- u wont get guys money if u make romantic comedy so stop expecting it and stop being enraged that guys dont wanna anything to do with a product u as a dev studio make not for them

 

[KimDongHwan]

Crazy to think I am voting for Naughty Dog, when they were one of my favorite devs back then. You've done it Neil Druckmann!

 

[Lunnarre]

Can I pick one to keep and lose the others instead? Fromsoft is the only one worth keeping and even they're kinda pushing it at this point. But Rockstar if I have to lose one.

How does ND have more votes than Bethesda

Based on their view on "women". Have you seen that dude you play as in TLoU2? Not to mention the dude in their next game.

 

[PeteBull]

In your little Neanderthal echo chamber maybe…

We got 8,2b ppl in the world, always bit more males than females (thats how nature works, since men are unfortunately expendable sex-we cant bear children/are used in all kinds of wars)but lets just cut it in half, so 4,1b males, now since im a man i got worldview like huge majority of men who live in this world too.

Even progressive af US chose trump over kamala, she got 75m votes, most of it were women, so we can quickly estimate amount of liberal femine cucks in the US at around 35m, add to that canada with its tiny population of 41m ppl, half are men, likely half of that is leftists so by best estimates whole north america is 65m men, u follow the pattern?

Its not like u will find many feminist/cuck men in africa, south america, asia or middle east, so whats left, western europe and australia(27,2m ppl, again lets even assume quarter is liberal cuck men thats 6,5m, total 71,5m + w/e "western europe" has(eastern european men are mostly not leftists cucks obviously).

Southern, northern and western europe alltogether is 545m ppl total(tens of milions of migrants too in that number, from non progressive countries/culture), again lets be generous and assume half of those men are liberal/feminists etc, we got 136m, adding previous 71,5m so total 207,5m out of 4,1b total men in the world, hell lets assume my math is totally scewed and there is somehow whole 300m leftists/liberal men in the world, that leaves 3,8b men with traditional worldview- over 12x more- now who again sits in their tiny bubble ?

 

[PeteBull]

Seek help.

Thats how liberal cucks/feminists tend to respond when they cant call me a liar or lack any kind of argument, i fully understand, not easy to believe propaganda so when some1 questions ur fake worldview its hard to even construckt longer sentence, shock is immense
