Carrolade, do games w Favourite developers

I’m going to go a little unpopular here, and say Paradox Interactive.

Their milking of their properties with DLC is the stuff of legends, but at the end of the day, nobody else is even close at modeling rich, complex and hugely broad historical simulation the way they do. They’re everything I ever wanted when I was a kid, playing Koei strat games. When you’re that good at what you do, fine, make money. Whatever.

Oh, look. Another DLC… sigh

The DLC I’ll admit is what they are jokingly known for but someone could “find some treasure” can avoid that. But good answer nonetheless!

Id, Bioware, and Bethesda have all been mentioned, and are strong contenders.

Ludeon Studios and Ghost Ship Games each only really have one game (RimWorld and Deep Rock Galactic, respectively), but they’re so damn good and they both have such a strong relationship with their communities that they’re definitely among my favorites at the moment.

I have a love/hate relationship with Paradox Interactive. Their DLC model… leaves a lot to be desired, but I have yet to find much else that scratches the grand strategy itch in the same way they do, and the level of mod support they provide is impressive. I don’t know if I can call them my favorite, but I’ve logged over 1000 hours into EU4 alone, so I have to at least mention it, I feel.

I wouldn’t say I necessarily have favorite developers, since I’ve rarely played and enjoyed more than a single game from a developer. At least before that developer is closed or morphed into something else.

Currently, I would say Bethesda is probably my only favorite “developer” currently going. I actually enjoyed Starfield quite a bit and have enjoyed their games going all the way back to Morrowind. Not to mention, there still isn’t anyone else that has managed to act an alternative to their style of games.

Beyond them, I’m wracking my brain trying to come up with another developer that is still putting out games and that I would classify as a “favorite developer” and not just “a developer who makes one game I like”.

Edit: FROM Software, that’s what I was probably trying to think of. I’ve definitely enjoyed quite a few of there games.

MilliaStrange, do gaming w What are some good PSP games?

Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles, which is a nice 3D remake of one of the better classic vanias, Rondo of Blood. An updated version of Symphony of the Night is an unlockable in the game (as well as the original Rondo) so this is a great way to experience both games if you haven’t already.

    That’s a good one. True enough, Splatoon doesn’t go boom, it goes splat.

    darkphotonstudio, do gaming w I hate the term "Boomer Shooter"

    Yeah, it drives me nuts as well! Boomers hated video games. They still hate video games. They had congressional hearings about the evils of video games. Stupid name.

    Phroon, do gaming w I hate the term "Boomer Shooter"

    I always assumed that the Boom in Boomer Shooter was more “Gun go Boom”, which seemed to fit the genre quite well.

    Millennials are going to be in absolute shambles if they ever find out “Okay boomer” wasn’t directly targeted at boomers.

    onlooker,
    @onlooker@lemmy.ml avatar

    It wasn’t? This is what Wikipedia says:

    “OK boomer” or “okay boomer” is a catchphrase and internet meme that has been used by members of the Millennial generation and Generation Z (born between the early 1980s and the early 2010s) to dismiss or mock attitudes typically associated with baby boomers – people born in the two decades following World War II.

    Who was it targeted at then?

    DragonTypeWyvern,

    Young people saying things old people told them.

    People who were usually younger than millennials.

    altima_neo,
    @altima_neo@lemmy.zip avatar

    It was targeted at everyone older than the younger people saying it.

    It’s used as a catch all, with the intention of getting everyone riled up. Because regardless of if you’re an actual boomer or not, now you’re getting bundled together with them.

    Vault 11 in NV is one of my favourites for the story telling. When I found the last audio recording it gave me goosebumps.

    Grzmot, do gaming w I hate the term "Boomer Shooter"

    Boomer today is used for anything that’s old, and I wouldn’t be surprised if you get Gen Xers that get called boomers. Since boomer shooters are a homage to old shooters, we call them boomer shooter. The ultimate problem is that it’s just catchy, so unless you find a more catchy term, you’re shit outta luck.
