Title: major game companies you've largely ignored
Post by: Kalahari Inkantation on August 19, 2011, 09:40:09 PM
I just realized I've never played an Activision game. befuddlement

also the first major EA title i'll ever play is mass effect 2 sillydood;

And even though I own an original Xbox, I've mostly ignored Microsoft because very few of the things they do interest me. n_u

Well I say Ubisoft, but I played like Assasin's Creed 2 and that was about it. Still for the majority of my life as a gamer I haven't touched an ubisoft game.

I have no idea, I don't much pay attention to the publishers of a game. I hate Activision, but that's about it.

i'm not sure you can count ME2 as an EA game. Bioware made it. EA just publishes it, packages it, and markets it, as far as i know.

as for Activision, they're mostly a publisher as well. probably the biggest thing they ever gave to gaming was developing Pitfall!, as well as publishing the Call of Duty and Guitar Hero series, although not ALL of the games in either series were published by Activision, and of course none of them were actually developed by them

i think DEVELOPERS are a lot more important to give your support to than publishers anyway.

From Tec's point of view I mean. I'd think he likes MGS enough for him to not consider Konami as a company he ignores, even if it actually represents a small percentage of their good games.

almost no game in the castlevania series still costs $40 except maybe that new 360/PS3 one that isn't really even much of a castlevania game to begin with

anyway

Contra series
Gradius/Salamander/Life Force/Parodius series
TMNT beat-em-ups
Suikoden
Twinbee
Beatmania
Axelay
Tutankham
Zombies Ate My Neighbors
Legend of the Mystical Ninja

i think there's a few others but i'm not sure, as well as some decent games i didn't mention here and there (like Frogger)

i have yet to try the Zone of the Enders, Silent Hill, or Boktai series, so i can't comment on them unfortunately. also have yet to try other Mystical Ninja games or any of Suikoden's sequels. i hear Vandal Hearts is a pretty good series too but eh, not way too interested in that one. we'll see.

i do love mgs, but the mgs series makes up maybe 12 games out of hundreds konami's published

yes, turn-based

the megami tensei series is mostly turn-based, with a few games instead being more like tactical jrpgs (which are of course still turn-based, but still very different)

the persona spin-off series is also turn-based, and is half traditional rpg and half high school simulation thingy. it sounds like a weird mix but it's cool.

the disgaea series (actually DEVELOPED by nippon ichi, but atlus publishes them all i believe) is a series of tactical jrpgs...so again, turn-based, but different
