ITT: Signs the game is going to suck

>posting obvious bait

>>3589820
Wasnt electronic arts actually kinda cool back when
They made sim type games

>>3589787
To be fair, they have made some really good games, like Contra: Hard Corps and Castlevania: Bloodlines, but then there are the stinkers like Contra Force.

>>3589787
Trolling

>>3589825

Yeah, that's why I picked the later logo.

The early logo was a good sign, anything with the circle logo has a 80% chance of being garbage, depending on the developer

>>3589821

bait? THQ published a ton of stinkers, and the only really good game I can think of from them isn't retro.

Just have a look at all these GRADE A HITS: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_THQ_games

I guess G-Darius is OKAY (polygonal graphics, no thx), and WWF No Mercy is supposedly well-regarded by fatherless boys.

Just glancing at this thread.

>Ubisoft
Rayman was good, though.

>THQ
Their N64 wrestling games were good, though.

>Konami
This is bait.

>3DO
Might & Magic/HoMM were good.

>EA
Despite being a scumbag company that guts talented studios and churns out filth on a regular basis, they've had quite a few enjoyable games throughout history.

Not so subtle trolling. THQ easily had the best not retro lineup of licensed games in video game history.

>>3589875

>$COMPANY has a very small handful of good games

You're basically making the tacit admission that the vast majority of their titles are crap. Hence the pavlovian reaction when one of those fucking logos pops up on screen, you know there's a 95% chance you're in for a shitfest.

>red faction
Gyah! Fucking scary fans' attitudes!

>>3589884

Red Faction was the one good game I was mentioning, but it's not /vr/ so we don't talk about it. Even then it's really only like a 7-8/10 since the single player experience kind of falls apart late-game.

I did overlook In The Hunt though, that one rocks. Though Irem really gets the credit for that.

How about signs a game will be good?

>>3589887
Also not /vr/, but what about Warhammer 40K: Dawn of War? That game and Dawn of War 2 are both well-respected.

>>3589882
Wow it's almost like the majority of videogames have always been shit and underage kiddies like you only play the cream of the crop when it comes to retro games.

This one's sort of borderline. More like "signs a game is going to be tolerable"

>>3589931
Acclaim wasn't too bad. They made

>Turok
>Shadow Man
>South Park 64
>the early console Simpsons games
>Maximum Carnage/Separation Anxiety
>Extreme-G

Well, looking at that list, I guess they were nothing special.

probably semefag too.

Anyway, pic related. I love their logo and the fanfare.

Their games were always shitty. Like LJN, they were more like a publisher though.

>>3590052

nope ur wrong

Not trolling. Any game they released with their logo was bad.

They made some great NES games, but nothing worthwhile after that.

It's ok, as long as you know your opinion is unpopular.

I hope you realize you picked one of the good logos. EA didn't suck until Xbox 360 & PS3 started maturing, for example Most Wanted and Burnout Revenge in 2005 (not retro) were good output. Prior EA eras were pretty good, except for some shitty stuff like gobbling up studios, destroying Ultima Online, or whatever. What I mean is, EA then wasn't quite the devil we are used to now.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Electronic_Arts_games

No way, dude. They started on the downward trend around 1994, and by 2001 they were already basically established into their current shovelware + dudebro juggernaut.

The dudebro shit is mostly post 2000, but there's plenty of pre- and post-2000 /vr/ stinkers in there.

>>3589818
Four hours and no AVGN hate? Huh.

I agree, they never had a single truly outstanding game, silent hill came close though

>>3589810

What were you expecting, anon?

People can have opinions that just happened to be shared with e-celebs. Not everyone is a parrot.

LJN was truly garbage, though.

>>3590339
All sonic games sucked though.

What exactly went wrong with Rare, anyway? It seems like they went to shit sometime around '93 or '94. Did they lose some key employees around that time or something?
