What would be the coolest company merger ever *assuming quality isn't lost*

[QUOTE="kage_53"][QUOTE="CaseyWegner"]

when did i say they were incapable of making a great game?

CaseyWegner

no.

what is that? I'm bias towards SE? I haven't bought a SE game since FFX. I actually don't play nor like RPGs anymore. I understand you like Bioware, but some of the comment I was hearing was just fanboyish. That's my two cents.

Shusty_lives

you were quick to call me a fanboy based on precious little information.

i'm the one who said what i said so don't go telling me what i implied. and what are you even basing that last statement on? how is that my logic?

jg4xchamp

You so argumentative...I just think you bias towards Bioware, thus making you a fanboy.You complain about Xenogears writing? Here is a hint: It was translated.

As stated, I don't buy RPGs.

I mean I know these are you opinions but I don't think you should be so forceful on them especially to new members.

Dencore

how am i being forceful with them?

I mean...yeah. I'm glad SW isn't a M rated site. You'll probable be swearing at SE right now.

Bethesda + Insomniac or Epic

Bioware + Insomniac or Epic

Is there a reason why people hate Atlus and NIS?Dencore

I know I am a new found fan of Atlus, Odin Sphere was a GREAT game best 2D sidescrolling action jrpg ever IMO.

how am i being forceful with them?

CaseyWegner

First of all you quoted someone who said Bioware and Square and stated that Bioware should do all the work and not Square, which sounds like it's implying that Square would just make the game worse.

Second saying that square *I hope you also don't mean Enix* hasn't done anything good since FF7, is a bit of a stretch Xenogears, Vargrant Story, Parasite Eve, and Einhander are all very highly regarded games from the company. I know you put the "I" in there but that smile would seem "arrogant" to new users as if you were mocking the company. *I don't think that though but just saying*.

so should i have used multiple disclaimers redundantly stating that it's just my opinion?

Too bad Square-Enix brought the license *and developer too I think* and they are pretty much doing nothing new with the license*

lighten up Justin Timberlake. Im not here to pick on you, just saying you came off fanboyish. I mean you said Bioware should do the work and Square should just put the name on the label is for the best. I would've took that as a joke, but then you went on to say Square hasn't been much since FF7. I thought you was on a roll until you said Xenogears writing was bad. That's was when I saw you being bias against SE.

liking something more than something else does not make one a fanboy for what he prefers. i also wasn't stating it as if it were a fact.

Where did you get that from?

The First one was jsut kind of unnecessary to my eyes since others recromended other mergers of Bioware and one person said Square-Enix and you quoted him and implied that thye'd ruin the game. It's not THAT big of a deal everyone's making, but I see the fault of it. *though it is being blown WAYYYYYY out of proportion in this thread*

The second I explained was just a misunderstanding from the new posters points of views.

[QUOTE="CaseyWegner"]in fact, i'm playing xenogears right now and i want to strangle whoever did the writing.redCloudJ7

What was wrong with the writing in Xenogears? Why did you want to strangle the writter.

i just think it's atrocious in general. no real way to explain it.

In that Clover games were good? Capcom makes more variety of games that end up great.

Do you know the amount of games Konami used make before to what they're makng now? It's a world of difference.

Dencore

Konami literally was God. Contra 3, Snatcher, Metal Gear 2, TMNT IV, Zombies Ate My Neighbors, Gradius III, Castlevania IV, etc. *Sigh* That list is depressing, reminds me of how awesome gaming use to be. :( And that's just from me playing the SNES and MSX, I could imainge how many awesome games they had for SEGA consoles *well besides Snatcher*

Konami still makes fine games, just they are on handhelds. Capcom makes a lot of crap as well, MegaMan has not been all that great for a while aside from ZX which was decent, but not great. The last true MegaMan game I played that I liked was Battle Network 3, and MegaManZero 1was also pretty good, otherwise they seem to have milked all they can out of handheld games in the franchise. If anything,I would like to see a sidescroller similar to Network Transmission which was such a hard game, just with better controls similar to the handheld Zero and ZX games for the DS. I personally enjoyed the Castlevania DS games though, they were loads of fun and had cool stories.

and you still haven't said how you're somehow more able to know what i meant than i am.

CaseyWegner

Oh.... Bungie and Valve!

Both are technical geniuses, and both are artistic masters.

I would love to see a game with the literary genius of Bungie and the game play revolution/evolution of Valve. It would be utterly killer.

Capcom keeps bringing out more and more different franchises like Phoenix Wrigh for example that keeps them adding more adepts, Konami from the 16/32-bit to 128-bit change they lost most of it's usual series. They like Capcom kept MegaMan, they've kept Castlevania, only they aren't brining out more franchises that you'd say are amazing, like they used to.

And Castlevania is quite far from what it was on consoles, it was their principal flagship franchise, now it has been relegated to a yearly handheld releases, how did it got to this? it has nowhere near the prescense nor the hype the console Castlevanias had until Nocturne in the Moonlight which were regarded as epicly as the MGS franchise is regarded now, and basically that's the only thing that looks that way from Konami nowadays.

Before Konami had lots of sleeper hits and Japanese only releases, disregarded by most mainstream gamers nowadays, now they don't have such thing.

Capcom and Konami I chose. Nintendo and Blizzard would clash too much I think. I mean hell, Blizzard's biggest game is a MMORPG and Nintendo hasn't even really adopted online at all.

Konami and Capcom just have too much star power

i mean exactly what i said. ff7 was a masterpiece and they've not had anything since that's been in the same league. they've made good games since but nothing all that special, imo.

Panzer Zwei you read the recent article on Shenmue at IGN, did you not?

To be honest, I really hope they bring out the third one.

Yeah. The closest since then was FFX but even then that was too linear to be up there with FF7. There's a reason so many people keep pining for an FF7 remake or legitimate sequel.

Epic and id, think of the fps they could do combined. dudy80

Well, I know for a fact that they'd make a killer engine....

EA and Activision.. just imagine it..

There combined power would ensure that Madden would have monthly releases, "I can't wait for Madden July 2009. it has a new player!"

And I'm sure they would be able to push out an amazingly large amount of movie games. Brokeback Mountain.. The game!
