You? and why are you sad about it?

I would quite argue that VALVe are competent-jerks simply on the principle that, despite their expertise (as shown by how well polished their games are), they don't bother with actually making video games. It's such wasted potential for them to complacently make cosmetics for their cash cow dota2.

I get that Druckman is a dipshit on cultural issues, but how has he acted like an actual jerk?

Their games might have shitton of unwanted mechanics and other stuff but they are very polished.

CD PROJEKT red is top top left

He dismissed all the actual critiques of the game as bad actors. He is a part of the company that underpaid, didn't pay, and crunched his workers due to his huge "vision". He lied via trailers as well tricking players into thinking they'd actually have Joel in the game too.

Hes also just a fucking dick on twitter.

their hostility towards rom sites, fan projects, and unofficial soundtrack uploads on youtube puts them all the way on the other side of the spectrum

>rockstar less competent than blizzard and EA
>more of a jerk than blizzard

Its shit

Fan projects are fucking gay, my man. People should give their games its own aesthetic instead of riding coattails especially if they're already shamelessly copying mechanics.

>any game dev

All video games are shit, user. Don't you know?

>any modern gamedev company
>Competent

>EA
>competent
>owns some of the most valuable IPs in gaming and fucking does nothing with them

they're the most competent of them all as a business

>lied via trailers as well tricking players into thinking they'd actually have Joel in the game too

Meh, deceptive trailers are nothing new, and can even add to the overall total, like in the case of Bloodborne hiding its cosmicism from its trailers or MGS2 sticking to the opening chapter for its trailer content. Since I haven't played tLoU2 I just have no point of refernece for whether or not those trailer deceptions had genuine artistic intention behind them. So, not going to judge Druckman too harshly for that.

>dismissed all the actual critiques of the game as bad actors. He is a part of the company that underpaid, didn't pay, and crunched his workers due to his huge "vision"

These sounds more like actual issues.

>Hes also just a fucking dick on twitter.

I mean okay but Notch is too and he's dead center on the nice-jerk axis

When is Psychonauts 2 coming out user?

343 industries is too far down to show up on the chart.

I genuinely don't think Suda is incompetent, but rather he's just already given the world his magnum opus and thus enjoying the rest of life's ride while turning in C+ work to pay the bills

The games that do exactly this are often just declared as shit because they aren't labeled as the franchise they are copying, you simply can't win.

Do you even understand what competent means?

>EA
>Naughty Dog
>BLIZZARD
>competent in any way
ayy lmao

phil fish should be right below druckmann, he was very successful as an indie developer

He replaced certain models of Joel and Ellie to make them look like you'd experience them via normal time flow, in reality they were all flashbacks after he got his skull caved in simply made for probably the trailers alone.

In the case for MGS2 we actually got to play as Snake for the entire prologue which depending how you play could be like 3-5 hours. We literally just got to ride a horse and then railroaded into a cutscene with Joel.

They get consistent results. Maybe not in the metrics we care about, but they don't give a shit about our metrics. What would be your definition of competent?

When is it coming out user? Tell me about his kickstarting user.

>Blizzard
>"competent"
Fuck you, you made me check the date. For a second I thought I time traveled more than a decade back. What the fuck has Blizzard done recently that you could even remotely call competent?

Nintendo should be a bit lower, imo. They have fun, polished games that attract rabid fanbases, yet constantly make pants-on-head retarded design decisions over and over that get in the way of the crazy fun games they made (Smash's dogshit online, a million QOL things in Animal Crossing, etc.)

>if a garbage rushed game sells decently to normies, then those devs are competent
"No"

Are you guys not gonna make your own? I posted the template for a reason.

They release 5 to 7 games per year all of them very polished

Suda definitely reached his peak but I have faith that he’s gonna continue making quality shit
