If there are two publishers that take a gigantic amount of heat from gamers, it's the Call of Duty mega-company Activision and the ailing one-time RPG gurus at Square Enix.
Well SE can win me back with a Kingdom Hearts game for consoles and FFv13 looks like a good quality game...Activision however prolly won't ever get me on their side for anything other than Diablo 3.
Hell SE could win me back with a FF10 HD and Crisis Core HD.
@below Yea it's smart to not get your hopes up when it comes to SE, they've done nothing but disappoint me on everything but a few handheld games this gen.
I swear if they f*ck up FF versus 13 i am done with Square Enix i pray they don't cuz we need a good FF this generation.I'm sure if they mess up they gonna get a lot of backlash from fans.
Don't get the hate for activision. In the ps2 days they were the same big assholes they are today. Sure they weren't spamming cod titles left and right. But they did spam Tony Hawk games left and right.
Square on the other hand. Eh, I still love them. To many talented guys there for me to dislike. Nier, FF XIII were 2 really good games this gen.
Well the only games I liked from them last gen I think was the Tony Hawk series and I stopped playing them after Underground, this gen though they've pissed me off by releasing broken games (that seem to get more broken with each new entry) and then they jacked up the prices on dlc.
SE this gen I love on handhelds but I haven't really enjoyed anything they have put on consoles.
FF13-2 looks like it'll be the same trash as far as the battle system goes. As for FF Versus 13 that game looks SICK! I have no reason to hate FFV13 right now. Can't wait too see more gameplay for that game.
not dev, publisher. and EA is pulling some sloppy stuff right now with BF3, preorder dlc, and the pc steam version might not even get the Back to Karkand pack...
We must live in different worlds then because I never hear anyone NOT complain about EA and how money hungry they are. And yes, they are a publisher. But still, I never hear too many complaints in the games industry about "OMG I HATE SQUARE ENIX/ACTIVISION SO MUCH" unless we're counting whiny fanboys.
It's all about what they offer, if the games are good and worth buying people will like them again. You'd be surprised how quickly gamers can forgive, it's almost as quickly as they can cast out a company.
Activision-Blizzard is an enigma to me.The first one is the pioneer of milking,dlc-ing,price hiking and all things bad.The second part is exact opposite. As for sqaure enix,they surely are not as mighty as they were in Square soft era but they got some a great lineup of both eastern and western games after the acquisition of Eidos.I think they will deliver great product very soon.
when they stop trying to get our money at every chance they get, and start worrying more about the actual quality of their products, they will stop being hated...
If Activision stopped bending over its so called "valued" consumers with dated software and anal raping bloated costs for the same game over and over again, year in year out with great vigor claiming its a entire new game when it's really just a pis poor attempt at DLC, then maybe. Activision brings back great memories...in the early 80's when they made Atari and Intellivision games. Those days are gone
I love Square Enix.

This does seem a lot like troll bait...I don't really hear about Square Enix or Activision being "hated".
Now EA is a different matter.
Not approving this =/
I love Square always will they got me into RPGs and I will continue to support there products and form my own opinions on them.
Activision are OK I'm not a big COD gamer or Guitar Hero player, but I do thank em for Tony Hawks 1&2.
