What company milks the worst?!

EA

Colored gameboy pockets...that's all I have to say.

LAST GEN :

1st Party : SONY

3rd Party: EA

THIS GEN :

1st Party : M$ tied with NINTENDO

3rd Party : ACTIVISION

-------------------------------

Not a big deal really, just how it goes.

For this post, I looked at Games and Accessories from all the companies this gen.

It's not about "Feeling Milked", it's about seeing it, in my case I actually did buy A LOT of accessories this gen, and games.

Ubisoft and Actifailvision

Guitar hero - so activision, and Microsoft(NOT BUNGIE) with halo

Am I the only one that doesn't feel "milked"?

Nintendo, Wii is the greatest milkage ever, old ass hardware (Wii) more expensive then 360 which is like 1000x more powerful and advanced

I don't consider it milking either, though Rainbow six vegas 2 was pointless, so is Modern warfare 2, if they release it a third time I will admit to milkage, If they only made those game I would call it milking but they make plenty of great series and diverse games

I'd have to say Nintendo milks the most. Their my favorite company, but c'mon, Mario Party 8?!

for me, milking is when you pay for something that is not worth the price, e.g. when you pay for wii and get old extremely outdated hardware yet it costs more then 360 which is quite up to date

SEGA with sonic

NINTENDO and Lara croft series

>.> they ran out of milk a long time ago, they started synthesising their own milk

seriously is that all you can think of mario party 8 ,, , , just be thankful theres only one mario party on wii , among dozens of nintendo games,

going back to my first post,

theres 4 halo games on 360 ,, by the time its all said and done 2 pgr games 1 forza which is pgr with a new name , , and yet you claim nintendo is the milker,

oh and 1 fps with a new name with 2 games in it already that is halo with a new name lol only difference is, its not four players !

But there's a difference between milking a consumer, and milking a franchise.

You can milk a consumer for all they have by requiring they buy addons for games. You can also milk a franchise based off the success of a game by producing cheap spin-offs, or sub-par sequels because you know people will buy them without realizing it's nowhere near as good as the original.

Ex: I don't think Halo has been milked because Bungie has constantly put out a AAA shooter with great online, but after ODST the franchise is going to MS and apparently Peter Jackson to develop. I can already smell the spoiled milk :(

I guess Sony charging for fake clothes and furniture for Home or charging for a map pack for KZ2 a couple months after the game release is fine though. I could give more but you get the point.

On topic-As far as myself I do not feel milked. For the people that do just do not buy the stuff because none of it is forced.

rockstar,,

its sad people dont see it ,

lets count the times weve played gta and have played on the same maps , ,

its rediculous , ,

on the console front , microsoft gets my vote,

you may pay only 300 atthe most but ,, when you add up your cost of the wireless adapter and xb live service your headset and everything that a ps3 offers, heck , ,

you wont even come close

ms coulnd even be compared to wii which is so much more refreshing then what 360 brings to the table , same xbox with a new name flopped on ,

and new graphics , ,

who cares

at least ps3 did somthing , and they did it right

xbox360 had 2 good yrs ,, but those years are behind them ,

pretty sad that . nintendo had a bad e3 08 but still walks away with a win , , lol all these gamers who play red lights of death every day brag about that,

and lets compare the big 3s line ups,, not including ps3 360 third party because their the same ,

what does 360 have

ill include genres

gears-fps

halo 3 fps

pgr 3/4 racing

saints row 1-sand box

test drive unlimited-racing

forza2-racing

pd0-fps

banjo 3-platformer

kameo -adventure

mass effect - third person/fps

ps3

resistance-fps

resistance 2-fps

kz2-fps

gt5-driving

f1 ce racing

rachet and clank-platformin/action

lair-fps or action

heavenly sword-action fighting

haze-fps

little big planet-socal adventure ?

wii

mario party 8-board game/party

mario kart-kart racing

metroid prime-fps

mario galaxy platforming 3d

super paper mario rpg with 2d platforming

fire eblem-rpg

zelda tp adventure

wii play-party

wii sports-sports

wii fit-fitness program

wario land shake it-platforming

wario ware inc-party

animal crossing-rpg/community like game much like lbp

pokemon -rpg/strategy

dr mario online rx-puzzle

wii music-musical/rythym

mario baseball/tennis/basketball or what ever-sports mario style

pikmin-strategy

and the bottom line is , microsoft definatelly is a milker,

not just console besides rockstar they offer all the same types of games the different name ,

kill this make so and so left turns ,, borring ,

every game ms makes is the alternative to most sony and nintendo titles, and you know what , ,

gears just about proves it,

actually halo does,

pgr /forza proves they want to cash in on sonys gt series,

fusion frenzy is a take on marioparty lol

and banjo is the alternative to smg , /paper mario

quite braging lol

UBISOFT- Raving rabbids is a milked franchise

EA- Buying sports games every year with incremental upgrades

Activision- They are all about milking and proudly tells anyone who will listen.

Nintendo- Mario, Zelda, Metroid. YES, they milk them

MS- Will milk Halo

Sony- GT with the Prologues (just finish the goddamn game instead of opening restuarants)

I don't remember being forced at gunpoint to buy any of these things therefore they can milk away.

Sony did anything wrong this gen at all? rybe1025

[QUOTE="IronBass"] "Milking" is defined by being forced to buy something in order to play a game. If it's an optional purchase, it's hardly milkage.IronBass

I do agree with your point though. I don't feel milked either, but it's pretty apparent that some companies are actually trying to squeeze (milk) every last cent out of a franchise.

What are you talking about?

Sony has made a crap-ton of mistakes this generation. This is about milkage.

Last Gen, the PS2 was an accessory milkage machine, and the XBOX you got more bang for your buck. Heck, that's why COWS were called COWS.

This gen, the PS3 is like the last gen XBOX, you get a lot more bang for your buck, however, Nintendo and M$ went the PS2 accessory route.

This isn't an ANTI Anything post, it's about how many accessories, and add ons I have bought this GEN vs. LAST GEN. THat's it. Do you want me to BREAK DOWN EVERY LITTLE ACCESSORY I BOUGHT?

Then you could say, I didn't need that stuff, and then I will say I did need it for my situation, and therefore milked. End of story.
