    Default Most hated manufacturer

    This is my first new subject I've started and I'm not shure if this has been done before. Sorry for any mistakes.

    I did a little bit of searching today to see if I could find a game that had haunted my past ever since I was fifth grade. Long story short I found out it was star voyager for the nes. And loe and behold who created this monstrosity of a game but my most disliked company ACCLAIM!

    So I did a little serch to see the games they have made over there long history. THE only games I could find of any interest were some mortal combats and double dragons.

    And now the reasoning for my subject what is your most unliked manufacturer? Oh is tradewest and acclaim the same company? Is there any saving grace to this company?

    I believe Acclaim only published DD, Technos developed/coded the game.

    I can't truly think of a company I hate. I am sure I will, and, when I do, I'll be sure and post it.

    $$ Games (EA) brrr

    First i liked them, but that was until they kept buying studios and going for shitty updates (another Fifa, another Madden, another this, another that) instead of good new games (ok ok they did a few, but then they update that also ... Battlefield ...). They are to big and to much a moneyfarm imho

    Buh...I used to love getting on the Acclaim hate wagon but I don't hate them so much anymore.

    Majesco...well, I've got this game called Blowout and I think Majesco had something to do with killing off any hope this one had of really revitalizing the 2D shooter genre...

    Oh god, the PlayStation memory cards...I think they've gotten better though, at least they SHOULD be getting better as they make official XBoxen products...I don't ever think they'll really be able to live down their crappy PSX days, though, not as long as we're all alive to tell the "youngins" about the bad old days :P~

    Majesco all the way, not only are the games crappy (cept for Denki Blocks & Turbo Turtle on GBA) there quality of materials is so subpar it's not even funny.

    I hate Majesco with a passion.

    Probably not my *most* hated, but worth mentioning, just for screw-ups sake.

    I'll throw in a vote for Mad Catz too. Shittiest products ever. Everything I've ever bought from them has fallen apart. Aside from the PSX Memory cards I got from my Brother for Christmas. But I'm waiting. It'll happen.

    EA, THQ, LJN, 3DO, Tiger, Majesco, Midway, Acclaim, Playmore, Square (after SNES), Titus, Sony (for shoddy video game hardware, lousy first party games, and scumbag business practices; their CD players, DVD players, TVs, etc. are pretty good), Nokia, and probably my most hated.... Rockstar games. Business-wise they know exactly what they're doing. They're giving the American public exactly what they want; only problem is... the American public has HORRIBLE TASTE. I may be able to choose not to purchase their games, but I constantly have to hear about their crappy games on the internet and on TV. I can't even step outside. :/ They have Max Payne 2 ads plastered all over NYC. I feel like I'm in a real life crappy game with advertising for other crappy games in it.

    Appaloosa. Those jerks ruined Contra. By ruined, I mean they split the franchise open with an axe, watched the blood fly, and then pissed in the wound afterwards.

    I hate Rockstar games and EA. They pump out garbage and the public just buys it like crazy.

    THQ - They released some stinkers and i was unfortunate to play some of them.

    To this day i cannot look at that logo and wonder if the game is going to be decent or total garbage.


    Acclaim - only because they unleashed crappy Simpson games on the buying public.

    Possibility is infinity! You must be satisfied!
