Blinded Stupid By Nostalgia

[El Maricon Loco]

Help me build a master list - Looking for companies that still receive money because gamers are born suckers.

Worst Offenders:
Tommo
Nintendo
Capcom
Rare
SqueersEnix
Tainto
Sega licensed plug n' play/emulation "consoles" and "handhelds"
SNK-P - Gods of the Same old Shit.

Horrible Nostalgia Failures:
Atari brand items
Commodore USA, LLC - "founded" 2010 - CEO fights with internet, passes away, now i don't know.

Not saying I'm above it, I was dumb enough to fall for it with the 25th Mario Anniversary Red Wii in 2009 or 10, I knew there was reason I didn't buy it before that, but clearly i'm a fucking moron.

Rare? Do they count? Perfect Dark Zero and the banjo game were thinly veiled attempts at nostalgia.

Man I want KI to be good in the worst way...

Maybe, were the games good or shitty?

 

[Lemony Vengeance]

Would I have mentioned them if ther were?

 

[El Maricon Loco]

wurd up added.

 

[Pope Sazae]

As I said in chat "Fuck Capcom"

 

[LoneSage]

all the dumbasses who think game companies didn't care about making money and business back in the 80s and 90s and did it just because they were passionate about their fans and video games

sorry tards, video games have always been a business

 

[AppleiDog]

Apart from The Dreamcast especially shenmue there were no financial logic in those numbers

 

[LoneSage]

no financial logic

sega in a nutshell

I would throw Atari on that list from all the fooking 2600 compilations of games they spew out, but Atari is not Atari anymore, and even owning the rights to the Atari name means your company is going to lose money, so I can understand going for a buck where you can get it.

Whoever is raping the name of Commodore nowadays.

 

[Neorebel]

I bet the new KI is going to feel nothing like the originals...

Commodore is REALLY in the shitter if not dead, like the guy who "founded" Commodore USA, LLC who died last year. I don't know about any particular software rights but the company looks like it's run out of some rented office space in a stripmall looking outlet in Fort Lauderdale, FL - hahahahah Florida is where the best businesses and dealers come from. Other places around the web really make it sound like it's definitely an idea gone poof. Start saving and we can buy it soon.

 

[Dr Shroom]

Commodore 64x , that's exactly what I was thinking about, what a joke.

 

[geise]

I think I'll throw Square/Enix into this.

Totally, how much have the fucking milked Final Fantasy VII? It's not even the best one. I could go on for hours talking shit about these guys but I won't because I've got better things to do... actually I don't. They fucking have this obsession with little boys who look like girls and vice versa. Their games seem to be focusing on the kind of people who find old style RPGs like FF I-IX far too clunky to have fun. Yada yada you get the idea with that.

but clearly i'm a fucking moron.

Yes, yes you are.

Yeah but there was no nostalgia to cash in on back then. It was always about money but at least they had to inovate. Its not just video games either, film is guilty of it too. Its like everything costs so much to make now that they are too scared to take a chance when they can just bank on the old shit.

My god the Jap designers and weeaboo's who love that style, have fucked up soo many great characters with this shit - it goes WAYYYY beyond FFVII - Find a current Belmont who doesn't look like a fucking androgynous clit pumper.

YES! They don't know when to fucking stop. I always though the Belmonts were gothic, manly, hard rock, thrash metal, leather and whips wearing massive mountain of manliness (you can tell I'm a queer VM!). Unfortunately they're fucking emos now, look at Alucard (yes he's not a Belmont, but come on pedants I'm on a roll).

Taito - Space Invaders

 

[max 330 mega]

was gonna recommend taito for this list as well. they made azumanga daioh puzzle bobble which kicked ass and it seems like now they just have some shovelware version of PB ready for almost every handheld near its launch date. do they even make new franchises any longer? i could totally be talking out my ass right now... long hair dont care.

 

[WoodyXP]

I'm surprised nobody mentioned AtGames.

 

[ballzdeepx]

Square with their shitty phone game rehash. It's hot garbage.

 

[Phyeir]

I'll throw another vote in for SqEnix for basically everything they have done since FFX.

Sega should also get a vote on the shitty compilation machines. They had a good run of them for a while as well when the plug and play emus were all the rage.
