Name a more incompetent game developer than Game Freak

The people who made your favorite game.

i can't honestly

Literally all of these dev teams mentioned in the thread so far are at least still afloat, which you can't say for Telltale.

this is the canonical Triumvirate of Shittiness.

Bethesda.

This may be the only real contender here.

Rockstar North

These two take the cake

Game Freak is by far the laziest. Even Bethesda puts more effort into their games.

They did what they did just fine.
There's a difference in incompetence and having a bad goal in the first place.

gearbox

Konami springs to mind for me.

Bethesda. Gamefreak is lazy but Fallout 76 and most of Bethesda's other games to a lesser extent feel like they were made by people who had no idea what they were doing.

this is definitive

Delight Works.

Bonus point for sitting on a franchise that make gorillions with zero effort.

They weren't incompetent, just lazy. Same with Game Freak. Telltale made some decent adventure games (Wallace & Gromit), and some really terrible ones (Monkey Island), but then found their niche when they did The Walking Dead, a neat and fairly original idea. The problem is that they then stamped the same exact game like ten times. Diminishing returns had long set in by that point, especially when when you realize fairly early on that "X will remember that..." doesn't actually fucking meaning anything. It's why a magician never performs the same trick twice.

Ultimately, though, the major difference between TT and GF is that TT weren't being bankrolled by Nintendo.

ur mom

Double Fine

Pokemon is also the biggest thing ever.

>makes huge bank over minimal investment
>incompetent

Pick one lol

Gamefreak a week from now.

dead=\=incomentent. Could be a number of factors between buyout-kill or like telltale just spread their resources out too thin and didn't know when to just not make a game.
If you look at here they can't even get a franchise right without pissing off the fans every few months.

Honorable mention: Tripwire Interactive

THE UNHOLY PENTAGRAM OF SHITTY INCOMPETENT DEVS THAT WILL EVENTUALLY SUMMON SATAN TO RUIN ALL VIDEO GAMES AND BRING ABOUT A CRASH THAT WILL LAST FOREVER

>Game Freak
>Bioware
>Bethesda
>Sonic Team
>Gearbox

Toby Fox is actually going to improve with his sequel though.

>implying TPCi isnt the one reaping all the rewards

based brainlet user

How is Game Freak in any way incompetent when EA and Miocrosoft exists...

Wait, how many posts were actuaslly made before mine again?

And NONE OF YOU FAGGOTS MENTIONED EA EVEN ONCE?

The FUCK kind of alternate-universe drivel is this? at this rate, roughly a third of the responses should be mentioning EA in some shape or form. What kind of shillery is this?

>create controversy around potentially cutting content you are not planning to cut
>players and critics stop paying attention to all of the major problems with your game
>announce that you've pulled a miracle out of your ass and the content will not be getting cut
>BASED GAME FREAK!
They seem pretty clever and sneaky to me.

>games that rake in 10 million+ yearly
>incompetent

taking advantage of brain dead fans isn't the same as incompetence

Jackie Chan

I think that was a bait answer my friend. Hitting it off like Toby did with an indie game is the exact opposite of incompetent.

Cloud Imperium

Did they backpedal already? I didn't hear.

EA are more greedy than incompetent.

EA are a publisher, user.

I said that in another thread and people said it was wishful thinking.

They won't backpedal unless nintendo tells them to.

>wishful
What makes me angry is the idea that they care more about having all the pokemon than the quality of the fucking game. Yiikes.

They can't backpedal because it would mean to either admit they suck at programing or to delay the game, both scenarios which they do not want to see happen

So there isn't a restriction on the Pokemon you can bring in anymore?

There still is. user is just trying to be optimist

No the restriction is still there. Just given the backlash I wouldn't be surprised if nintendo is looking at the game and seeing what can be done. It's pure laziness given they could just pay niantic for gen 1-4 models and sun/moon already had a balance feature of only pokemon caught/hatched in the region could be used so they could expand on that method by only letting the new regional dex be competitive approved.
I haven't played pokemon since gen 5 but I don't blame fans for being pissed about all this. Everyone has a favorite so imagine being told "We are lazy fucks so your favorite pokemon isn't worth our time".

EA isn't incompetent, just greedy. If they had to make a good game, they could do it. Gamefreak, Sonic Team, and Bioware more than likely could not.

no it looks like shit stuff and plays like a poor mans bullet hell and has very pretentious writing.
people give yiik a bad rap for being pretentious while toby to a lesser degree has also been doing it

EA and Microsoft aren't developers retard.

Bethesda is more incompetent than Bioware. Modern Bioware is shit but at least they're not using an ungodly patchwork of an ancient engine.

XD EA Miocrosoft so evil!!! Upvoted!

not even close
sonic team's main problem is their questionable game design philosophy, bar 06

they can still code circles around gamefreak

Omega Force

>Modern Bioware is shit but at least they're not using an ungodly patchwork of an ancient engine.
My guy whatever engine they're using for Anthem makes Gamebryo look like Cryengine 5

>pokigger
This one word may be the absolute low point of Yea Forums's existence. I honestly don't believe it possible for this board's quality to get even a single shred worse than what it is now purely through the existence of this word in your post. Every single thing that has gone wrong regarding this website since 2014 can be boiled down to your usage of that word and by extension you as a poster.

I mean, I believe Game Freak could do a good game if they actually invested the money into getting more than 6 people

>Mother, those ghastly rapscallions of Game Freak have put out another incredibly low effort attempt to please the masses. Please fetch me my barfing bucket.

Sonic Team too, it's been mentioned several times that their biggest blunders were due to poor management and resources.

Grinding Gear Games

In your post we see a legitimate redditor in the wild

I honestly don't think GF is incompetent, just lazy, they've realized the games will still sell no matter what, and don't bother with improves anymore, the last really amazing game was Heartgold.

They're have five times more technical talent than Game Freak does. It's everything else that's garbage.

Konami

>cancels all its projects
>shuts down its freely available game on PS4 that everybody was enjoying
>publicly fires its best employee, letting everybody know that they were not working on games at the company anymore
>turns its most popular franchise into something like the worst Early Access Steam game at the time
>says they are leaving video games entirely and just making pinball and pachinko from now on

>crawls back to video games despite having nothing to even sell because they fired everyone

That would be like if Game Freak publicly fired all their employees and released Pokemon Rumble Rush as their only game in the last five years.

EA made more than one good game, Gamefreak didn't it.
