For me, it has to be square enix, i could go on for days about this companys preformance, to keep it short though heres a quick list of reasons ive been disapointed

1.) u **** up final fantasy, twice, 13 was mediocre, 14? dont get me started.

2.) u **** up kingdom hearts, where the hell is my REAL kingdom hearts game? ie: one for hd consoles, HELL EVEN WII JUST WHERE IS IT!?

3.) Poor choices on how their releasing their games as of late (going multiplat then rushing/cutting resources to accually polish both games) also im told they brought the 360 version of final fantasy to japan.. with english voices *facepalm*

4.) your OTHER ip's are just as bland and lifeless, lost oddosey, and blue dragon?... eh

i could go on, but what are your choices for worst dev of the gen

PS: runner up, activision... 15 dollar map backs, 7 guitar hero's in a gen (2,3,4,5,warriors of rock,van halen,encore) wait, is that 8!?...8!?!?!? and i think im missing one or two...

The developer that has been most lackluster to me is Bioware, I have not liked a single game from them this generation and I dont like what I hear about their upcoming games.

However, critically speaking, I would say that Data Design Interactive (creators of "masterpieces" like Kidz Sports series and Ninjabread man) have been terrible, I havent played their games though.

Sheesh, have you PLAYED either 358/2 days ot BBS? I have (the first) and actually think its the best in series so far. Just started BBS, and with all the new options and customization stuff, I have a feeling that it so will be in the best in the series... Though, can't say something like that unitl I've finished it. KH2 is definitely the worst in the series. *multi-element shield ready* (coz flame shield is generic!) Besides, at least SE have TWEWY, that was one hell of a game. But I still agree that SE have gone downhill with FF, but KH is still going good.

They renamed it Final Fantasy Versus XIII as a marketing ploy, don't worry though, they're rehashing everything, so I'm sure it will be just as mediocre as one and two.

I just don't find Nintendo games to be as good. They are stil really good, better than most games, but Nintendo's old games are SOO much better than there new ones.

No it isn't. KH 3D is going to be on par with the main titles but it is not KH3.

Square Enix definitely.

I would also say Rare: they had a great start early this generation, and then dropped off the map entirely.

correct me if I'm wrong.

but aren't Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon from a different developer? I know the guy used to work under SE/Square. but that's still not the same.

anyhow, I can't think of anything really. maybe EA L.A. since they're 'supposed' to be the former Westwood. and EA L.A. just straight-up sucks. Red Alert 3 and C&C4 are disasters compared to the previous games.

Bioware. People act like their games are great, but each one has been a disappointment. I still find Square Enix's games much more enjoyable than this 'company'.

Why? Are you really telling me they did worse than any other developer? And your a "real" gamer right?
