"Our industry is filled with poor choices and nights a lot of us will never remember, but when marketing teams came up with these ideas not only did an entire industry wonder, “WTF?” but they also made it possible that we never forget they happened.
Here are some of the most controversial, confusing, and downright stupid marketing strategies over the last two console generations." - David Wales
The friendly folks over at Razer recently sent us their full size Kishi Ultra mobile gaming controller, and this thing didn't disappoint.
VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "Upon finally finishing Devil May Cry 5 recently - after it spent several years on my “I’ll play that soon” list - I considered giving it a fittingly-named Late Look article. However, considering that this was indeed the final piece I was missing in the DMC puzzle, I decided to instead take this opportunity to take a look back at the entirety of this genre-defining series and rank the entries. What also made this a particularly tempting notion was that while most high-profile series have developed fairly evenly over time, with a few bumps on the road, the history of Devil May Cry has, at least in my eyes, been an absolute roller coaster, with everything from total disasters to action game gold."
3,1,4,5 to me, never played 2. 5 gameplay is amazing but level design was really disappointing to me, just a bunch of plain arenas, the story felt like a worse written rehash of the 3rd and the charater models looked weird ( specially the ladies ). Another problem with 5 was that there was not enough content for 3 charaters so I could never really familiarize with any of them

Worst marketing strategy of the 21st century:
Creating a mediocre console with accessories that only a small percentage of the market actually is interested in with a high price-tag for which you've presented some of the absolutely most disliked policies in the history of electronic entertainment around and that you're publicly admitting that you're scrambling to improve upon with a small increase in clock-rates and flat-out lies left and right before a launch-date that you're pushing forward to try and plug the holes in the sinking ship that you boastingly designed with help of "the greatest minds in the business" by going on the offensive against both your ex fans, the ever-important developers and the console-producing company that did all the things right that you did wrong, thus losing even more respect for every step you take.
