It used to be that if you saw something from square enix you could pretty much guarntee it was going to be good... Id say the last good thing they've done was FFX- everything after that has been lame

Casual gamers these days have a short attention span and would get bored of games quickly. This is why SE is constantly making games.

just cause 2 was great.

i guess the lesson is that if they produce a game it can still be good just don't let them be the developer.

That really is a good question and I think the answer lies in they do not know what to make. Instead of focusing on a few good games to make they are throwing every idea in the book out there to hope one thing or another works. Which in my opinion is stupid but I guess they are really that out of ideas.

Good question. I don't know the answer but I sure don't get excited over their games as much as I used to.

They're still a quality developer/publisher. I'm not saying Square is on the same level as they were during their Golden Age, but saying every recent game they've made is "lame" is just ignorant.

Handhelds are another story actually SE is doing a great job on handhelds.

Can't wait till I get home so I can play it. Leveling seems harder than FFXI! SE have absolutely sucked this gen. Although FFXIII was good and I'm enjoying XIV, what else is there? I really, really miss the Square of old.

Yeah and they're all spinoffs and sequels instead of original IPs.

I wish that came outside of Japan.:(

And Sqaure Enix has been doing good on Handhelds and will probably continue so (FF Agito XIII, The 3rd Birthday, and Kingdom Hearts Re:coded are looking good). Consoles... Yeah they seem to be lacking recently on those.

It's what big pubs do. Make bad games, but enough of them to penetrate the market and still turn a profit. See EA/Activision.
