Worst thing a game Company has ever done?

Also Nintendo lost it's reputation with the Wii, most of the first party games are ok, 99% of the third party games are just junk shovel ware I would not even take for free, it would be a waste of shelf or harddive space.
Even the AAA titles that did make it to the Wii where heavily inferior to thier PS3 and Xbox 360 versions.
Most games insist you have to use that damn Wii Mote.

My mum had bought it for me Christmas 2008, I kept it setup under my TV just so when ever she came over to my place she thinks I still used it, kept it there for years, I didn't have the heart to tell her it was a piece of crap.

It's the reason I never bought the Wii U and will probably never buy another Nintendo console again.

 

Wii U CPU is 3 GameCube CPUs glued together.

Ha-ha-ha. Your examples already are epic fails.

Wii was incapable of not inferior ports.

 

The #1 dick move of all time is Sony's PS1 anti-2D stance. They screwed us out of at least a generation's worth of great 2D games, and it took a long fucking time for 2D games to be viable again.

Good thing for them that the Japanese market has pretty much committed seppuku.

 

Everything Bernie Stolar did with the Saturn.

Everything Peter Moore did towards the end of the Dreamcast.

 

Is that so?

I would love to hear your examples

 

I know we all love Acclaim, but supposedly they did try to purchase advertising space on tombstones for the second Shadowman game. While they later wrote it off as an April Fool's joke, I'm not sure how genuine that recantation was.

 

The worst thing a company has done was the Microsoft DRM scheme for the Xbox One. If that would have taken hold in the industry it would have put everything we own entirely under the control of the console makers. You can dislike Sony for a lot of things but we should all thankful they didn't go down that path.

Now the worst decision a company has ever made was Sega's entire US strategy for the Saturn. From the early launch that alienated major retailors and developers to "The Saturn is not our future" it was a mismanaged clusterfuck from beginning to end.

 

Yes it is. 3 overclocked GC cores slapped together with more cache. https://fail0verflow.com/blog/2014/console-hacking-2013-omake.html

OG Xbox was huge and bulky. Just a PC, always sold at loss. MS started trend for subscription.
RROD was huge for 360. It was eliminated only in 2010 with Slim.
Xbox One is huge, bulky and ugly again. Underpowered. OS is a mess.
MS does not have good developer studios and interesting franchises.
Being arrogant. xbone drm speeches were hilarious. Xbox was always US-centric.

Only good thing I can say about MS console endeavour is original curvy 360 design (Slim is a condensed can) and whipping Sony's ass to develop a straightforward console.

 

Yet if you take a look at the PS4 or Xbox One subreddits, they're full of people who are going "full digital".

Fucking hypocrites.

 

Good for them. And nodrm is good for those who did not.

 

You seriously think it's not stupid that people are paying the same price for digital games as physical ones (well, not exactly true, since digital games are often more expensive!) when there are very limited benefits (as opposed to drawbacks) to the consumer? These people whined about DRM but are taking it up the ass willingly from publishers and console makers, which makes them hypocrites.

 

if you think the OS on the XO is a mess, check out the ps4...

 

How do you know they are the same people?

What do you mean? PS4 OS is fast and easy to use.

 

Well, the only way to know for sure would be to dig through their post history, but nobody has time for that. Considering how widespread the DRM outrage was, there's bound to be a ton of overlap, though, especially when you factor in that a lot of people just parrot whatever they hear and are too dumb to figure out that "DRM bad" and "digital games = DRM" are not compatible with each other.

Fast, yes. Pleasant to use...not really.

 

Why not?

 

My main gripe is how everything is just in one horizontally scrolling line...except for the stuff you haven't used in a while, which you have to dig out of the library. This is accentuated by updated apps being inexplicably pushed to the front of the line, as well as physical games eating up slots even if you have no disc inserted. If they'd just let you choose what to display, I'd have no real complaints...except for the What's New page being a complete mess.

 

I find the Xbox one OS fast and easy to use as well. I guess it's preference.

I liked the PS3's XMB interface, but that was so slow. PS3 for me was the slowest console in history, it takes 5 mins to download 1gb although I have download speeds of 350mb/s. Maybe it could be because I had my PSN account set up as a USA one, but I have heard complaints from many different people.
When you look at it, all of the big 3 ( Nintendo, Microsoft and Sony) have made some huge fuck ups.

 

That's pretty much only major gripe.

There is whining about slow xbo OS almost everyday on subreddit. 2 hrs ago http://www.reddit.com/r/xboxone/comments/31rf5d/speeding_up_ui_high_on_list_of_xbox_improvements/

Hit B in menu several times and you would not know where it will lead you. Everything is an app, needs to load everything, forced snap apps, clunky navigation, hard to find anything.

 

Much easier than PS4 when you can actually choose what you have available...

 

Nintendo discontinuing nintendo wifi connection for the ds and wii was probably the worst thing for me
