ITT: the person in the vidya industry you've lost the most respect for
>>375765338
todd?
I can remember when I was a teenager, this promising open world shooter was announced. Borderlands looked like Mad Max in outer space, I can remember the graphics before the switch to cell-shaded. The monster designs were great and the explorable world excited me even more.
Fast forward to now, and I don't think anyone has fallen deeper than Anthony Burch. Remember, you will never be Anthony Burch.
>>375765338
Yoko Taro
>>375765338
You got it OP
That ruse meister Kojima
>>375766716
stop. she's a strong independant woman.
Molyneaux and Gabe are both up there. Gabe would be #1 if I had more respect for him before learning what a complete and total piece of garbage he was.
>>375766203
You can't fall if you never did anything worthwhile. Burch was born 2000ft below sea level.
>>375765338
what killed gabe?
was it paid mods? greenlight?
>>375766203
wasn't he just a writer?
>>375767159
Steam
>>375766203
I knew him from back in HAWP season 1. Man my friends and I would freak out with every new episode, laughed our asses off, and argued over who was cuter his wife or his sister.
Tim Schafer, though Doug TenNapel is a close second.
Hideo Kojima and Masahiro Sakurai.
Shigeru Miyamoto most of all though.
>>375767159
Nothing yet but my money is on heart disease with a smaller bet on a blood clot.
>>375767159
Steam shekel grubbing in general and when they tried to trick Axel Gambe into coming to the states so the FBI could grab him. Not even because he wanted to take down the hacker, but because he waited until he turned 18 to send the offer so the kid would get tried as an adult.
>>375767128
Was being a cuck his destiny then? Was he born just to suffer?
>>375766203
He didn't work on Borderlands 1 and was only a writer on Borderlands 2, which by the way, actually had a story and characters contrary to Borderlands 1.
I mean, we all like a good burch meme but you kind of dropped the ball on that one.
>>375767187
/v/ the musical for you
Inafune. I respected him a lot when he was at Capcom, but after everything with MN9 and the Red Ash bullshit I lost all respect I had for the guy.
>>375767949
How has Carmack lost your respect? Reading his twitter he seems as insanely smart as ever
>>375768393
He hasn't made anything relevant since quake 3.
>>375768621
He led development of the technology in use in Wolfenstein: TNO, nuDoom, did all the baseline work for the Oculus SDK including their mobile SDK which people are probably going to be using en masse to consume VR porn in the next few years. Still seems pretty productive
>>375768393
>>375768393
Carmack is a cuck
>>375765338
>>375769212
Really gets the noggin joggin
>>375765338
you posted him
>>375769212
back to /pol/
Shiggy has gone full George Lucas. The farther away from his franchises he gets, the better.
>no new castlevanias
>non-canon metal gear games from now on
why the fuck can't japan crack down on the pachinko industry?
>>375769646
This. I respect the man for what he did in the past, but god damn, now he's more of a ruining influence. I can't get over it how he completely missed the point why people liked Paper Mario.
Not even close
>>375767326
What the fuck happened to Miyamoto man.
He reached his creative pinnacle in the 90's and it's been downhill since then. I feel like he's going senial with all the bad choices he's made recently. He needs to let nintendo go, he's doing more harm than good
>>375769646
Agreed. I feel the same way and even mentioned it in the past, but people get butthurt about it and say I am wrong.
I respect Miyamoto for what he did in the past, but his recent input has really, REALLY hurt a lot of modern Nintendo stuff that he has any input or suggestions for. I wish he would retire already so the younger staff doesn't have to kiss up to him constantly.
>>375770057
>Jap retiring
Not until he's on deaths door I would presume
>>375767159
>>375765338
Pretty much spot on, OP. His silence policy on the Half Life episodes was a slap in the face.
>>375769842
>>375769874
>>375770057
Breath of the Wild really only had his blessing during the development process, didn't it? If so, that's even more proof that he's the one fucking everything up.
The 3DS would've had a 480 resolution if he didn't force that shitty 3D gimmick into it, man.
>>375769874
>>375770057
Miyamoto has only recently shown just exactly how much influence he has over development of EVERYTHING Nintendo, that's the reason people are starting to dislike him.
He's not going to retire until he dies. He's a great designer, but Nintendo has had a seniority problem for quite some time, now. Look at their marketing for any of their products if you want a better picture at it.
>>375768986
That was a great game made by splash damage. Had a lot of fun on that one. Even won a competition and got a free mx518 out of it
>>375766203
Remember when it was supposed to have armor drops and more customization, too?
>>375770481
>>375770057
>>375769646
>>375769842
>>375767326
I loved it when the developers of Breath of the Wild said they presented him with an alpha build of the game and all he did for his entire play session was fucking climb trees. They admitted they had to beg him to go do anything else.
The dude is just senile. He's a man out of time. He's a legend and always will be but he needs to retire.
>>375769867
I know what you mean
>>375765338
I haven't lost respect for Gabe - he and the rest of Valve created HL + Steam and nothing can take that away.
My confusion is what the fuck Dota 2 did to this man. Valve doesn't seem interested in making new games anymore.
>>375770910
>they presented him with an alpha build of the game and all he did for his entire play session was fucking climb trees. They admitted they had to beg him to go do anything else
at first I thought you guys were shitposting, but this is legitimately depressing to read, I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up diagnosed with Alzheimers within the next few years if it ends up getting any worse than this
>>375771394
this better be bait, because if not, I am dead serious when I say you are a goddamn sheep if you still see anything positive in Valve
>>375770481
Confirmed for never having played a 3DS.
The 3D effect is awesome.
>>375771394
Please leave Dota 2 out of this. The game gets actual content updates like once a year. I'm pretty sure the only person left working on it is Icefrog, a modeler, and a voice director.
>B-but the hats!
All made by the community.
>>375771782
>All made by the community.
that's part of why valve has gone to shit you retard
>>375766716
Literally Count Orlok.
>>375765338
Him and all of Valve.
>>375765338
>>375767892
Fat fuck gabe and sessler for sure.
>>375767507
That actually makes me respect Gabe more, not less.
>>375770481
Miyamoto hasn't been seriously involved with Zelda since Wind Waker. Attributing everything wrong to him and then saying that the good thing must have been because of his absence is a little ridiculous. He didn't come up with the 3DS's design or the 3D concept either, that was Hideki Konno and his team.
>>375771394
>he and the rest of Valve created HL + Steam and nothing can take that away.
And what is Steam now?
A heaping pile of fucking garbage.
They didn't even give us the option of keeping the old layout in 2011. Fuck Steam.
>>375769867
fucking this.
remember all that bullshit he said when hyping up fable 3? even the project milo hoax, man fuck this guy.
>>375771606
>>375770910
I'm really happy they came out and mentioned that.
Miyamoto is autistic as fuck. You know he's why you can climb trees in Mario 64 right? There's a story out there about how he REALLY wanted that feature so they made it happen.
>>375765891
I believe Todd is a wonderful man that did nothing wrong. He's an honest game Dev and seeks to entertain the masses. Now if you excuse me, I'm off to play fallout 4, which I might add, is an amazing game.
>>375765338
Gabe is definitely #1 but I would almost put him at #0 because I am still in disbelief and refuse to acknowledge that he isn't the holy savior I grew up thinking he was.
Todd Howard, Randy Pitchford, and Colin Johanson are up there too.
Peter Molyneux and Phil Fish are both guys that I like because of how shitty they are, so if anything I've only gained respect for them over the years.
>>375765338
Gabe and Inafune, especially Gabe. Inafune was kind of a title that lost meaning as MN9 put the spotlight on him, but Newell was a genuinely cool and talented guy who was overtaken by greed and a loss of passion.
>>375765338
Stefano Casillo
>>375769867
Molyneux is the original pathological liar. Todd can lie but he doesn't lie nearly as grandly as Molyneux. Molyneux never failed to make a game sound like the eternal GOAT and then the game came out and it was either mediocre or total garbage because none of the features he said were implemented in the game
Hey Faggots,
My name is Gabe, and I hate every single one of you.
>>375767159
Valve stopped making video games and instead started grabbing money from steam whereever they could.
They've forgotten what made them rich, and now they're only interested in what can make them richer.
>>375767159
That and teasing us with the idea of Half Life 3 for 10 years.
>>375776075
I believe it
He was great back in the day but he hasn't don't shit recently.
>>375776881
Yea what ever happened to this guy did he quit or something?
>>375776881
>>375776881
Honestly he's just dead to me at this point
>>375776881
>>375777418

Nearly everyone at Bioware. Ever since DA2 it's been a never-ending shitfest.
>>375778412
Pretty sure most of the older folks have moved on, hence the drop in quality.
>>375778485
This is true. It's also why we should gas all of their current employees, but I guess after Andromeda EA will do that for me.

How much backlash from the fans would it take to force them to fire Shig? Assuming they wouldn't let him drive the company into the ground that is.
>>375779160
here's how we do it, we kill his cognitive self, and then when the media and police storm in, say he had a heart attack while crossing the street
>>375779160
Would never, EVER happen unless there was a major scandal brought against him with evidence. Shiggy will either die at Nintendo or retire.
>the person in the vidya industry you've lost the most respect for
>>375779703
Pretty much.
Ya'll need to understand large organizations, they can't have employees attacking their venerated heroes. It might suck for business output, but turning on your own founding fathers is so much worse for internal cohesion and morale.
I can't fucking believe

Never ever unless he was convicted of a serious criminal offense. Like murder/rape/grand theft.
>>375779703
Quick, somebody plant kiddy porn in his house and hire some kids to say he raped them.
Put some dead bodies in there if that isn't enough.
