Discuss.
What about Sega? How do they rank?
Average
are assuming because of atlus in the op? or is there actual ratings for sega sapporo and other studios within them?
https://jobtalk.jp/
search yourself
cool, seems like some negative reviews are from phantasy star team while everyone being positive are mobile/sonic.
It's in the video, average
>Capcom lower than Konami
Konami’s bulk are reviews are coming from employees in other divisions like their casino and health club sectors. I have an account on this site too so there’s some perspective for you.
>Capcom employees spending 8 hours a day looking at hideous RE Engine graphics
Not unexpected
Konami especially right now generally makes lower budget and effort games
Capcom is and always has been cranking out higher profile titles at a very steady pace
Konami has other business other than video games. Capcom got many good employees run away historically. I expect koie tecmo to be another shitty place.
Konami's rating will likely increase once MGM Osaka opens in 2029
Why does it look like a broken microchip?
Easy, a surveillance camera is watching you while you are writing that review konamibro.
Home video games are a tiny fraction of Konami's entire business empire, it's just the only thing we in the west know them from. Same thing with Sega.
Do you have reviews for NIS or Bandai Namco?
>NIS
What about Nasu's Type Moon? Curious how Nasu treats his employees
I don't see type-moon on jobtalk.
Well you have type moon, studio bb, and lasgengle. Not sure how intertwined the companies are but besides lasengle (since they are owned by aniplex.) I imagine they are pretty laid back since the employees are would be double digits
This company was on the verge of bankruptcy several times, how the hell are they not below 3.0? They're doing better than spike chunsoft
doing poorly=/=bad to work for
Hell, more often than not, the opposite is true.
It's like someone who has a terminal illness, they know they're going to die so they just get to enjoy what time they have left. They know the company will probably go under at any point, so the employees aren't treated as poorly
NIS is one of the few companies that allows their employees to shine and make their own small games. They just recently announced a new ADV game and some weird puyo puyo clone.
And here's Bamco.
People seem to not realize that alongside Nintendo and Konami Bamco is one of the 3 sacred cows.
This doesn't surprise me at all. If only they could go back to this logo.
Must be a comfy place, they seem to be well organized in general.
Bushiroad sees itself as a rival to Bandai Namco with games like Bang Dream intending to compete with Idolmaster, so what is Bushiroad's rating?
lol...this is the worst rating in this thread so far.
Wow nintendo even pays for high employee review scores. A perfect 5. Yeah, sure.
Nintendo doesn't crunch their employees or do mass layoffs whenever a project is completed. I'm sure that's a big reason why they get good reviews
>Nintendo bonus is true even for employee reviews
3.5 stars is actually a really good rating from Japanese people. If something is average they won't rate 4 like westerners they will rate 2.5
That's why perfectly good restaurants in Japan have below 4 stars on their review sites.
https://jobtalk.jp/companies/2892/answers
Found atlas, it's average
How is this news, everyone knows gamefreak doesnt give a frick because it sells anyway
It was commonly assumed, but never proven by insiders. Now it has been.
"Proven"
It's still he said she said. Fricking moron.
They assumed they'd at least treat the employees well.
the reviews and it turns out that devs complain how the staff at gamefreak are decades out of date with technology and consists of senior staff who have no clue what they're doing and not care because their games sell anyways
So basically what everyone already felt was true except with the added caveat of short devtime
Yeah, no shit, they thought they were going to make handheld games forever, not a single person at gamefreak ever bothered with 3D games development back in the early 2000 and now they are trying to catch up with 20 years of technology, and since this is a japanese company they are never going to do the logical thing and put someone whit more experience in charge because that would disrespect the seniors.
>Atlus 3.33
That's better than I thought it would be.
seems about right. they don't push the mold and sega management is awful but the work is fair and there is stability there.
We so solly that Gameu Freaku is bad prace to wolk. Gameu Freaku is smarru indie studio with smarru Japanese penisu.
>laugh
>remember that episode was about Pokémon
>laugh harder
Shocker
>Nintendo is the best place to work in Japan
Hm, I wonder why...
zero crunch
They also make video games unlike Pisstvision.
>Zero Crunch
>when gamefreak works in the same fricking building
It's like saying the US doesn't torture it's prisoners, they do they just outsource it.
they're in same building but they're independent studios. lots of businesses are like that.
Game Freak moved to an office owned by Nintendo in Tokyo (the same building as 1-Up and HAL). It's not the big building in Kyoto you normally see in the photos, where their main development groups are located.
>comparing nintendo ceo’s taking a paycut when the business is flopping to the Black folktates everlasting claims that they don’t commit war crimes, ever
le mao
That's not the CEO who gave himself a pay cut when the 3DS was a failure
You are thinking about the guy from YIIK
Japan is a lot harsher on its prisoners. They run it like a POW camp, where the guards can beat you until you piss blood if you so much as sneeze without permission
>t. expert on japanese weeb from playing yakuza games
I've actually studied various prison systems around the world
You're just parroting propaganda you read on twitter
plus apparently they pay their employees really well, it's like the ultimate fever dream for any japanese salaryman
>they leave you alone
>work any time you want
>get paid accordingly
That's literally impossible since they are a Japanese company.
they have no crunch precisely because they are a japanese company. they work efficiently unlike americans.
> Japanese work more efficiently
Anon you know how they still use fax machines? It keeps going from there.
I wonder if they have 24/7 ATMs yet
anon Japan's media industry is without a doubt one of the crunchiest in the world, but Japanese are too polite to complain about it.
Ok Nintendo are the good guys, I apologize (I’m still going to troll tendie manchildren on here about bing wahoo but this is unironically good to read)
Henry Ford tried this but the Supreme Court told him that paying employees more was illegal since it would not serve shareholders. Why is Japan so much better than us bros?
You know the answer to this already. This is why Henry Ford became a staunch anti semite after this.
>America's economy highly depends on growth, not shareholders'.
America's economy is designed to funnel wealth to the top. It's doing exactly what it's supposed to do
>the supreme court
Not american here, Henry Ford has always been labeled as the devil and shit like that. It may be time for me to look things further.
TLDR:
>innovates by creating the factory system and makes cars
>damn im so rich i might as well use my money to give my workers better work conditions and pay as well as a ton of benefits
>damn my cars are selling so well, might as well make them cheaper so everyone can afford them
>a couple of shareholders of israeli descent sues him for not using the money he earned to make shareholders richer
>supreme court rules in their favour because companies are not supposed to be charities
>forever he hated ~~*them*~~ after
They weren’t israeli shareholders, but the Dodge Brothers, who ran Dodge but were also getting ridiculous dividends from Ford ($27 million per year in todays money), who wanted to stop paying out dividends.
They both died 4 years later, and their company was sold to israelites who instantly made a $233 million dollar profit in todays money, and then resold it to Chrysler.
His fault for selling shares
Then Ubisoft got really petty about him for some reason. Ass Creed lore says he used the Apple of Edan to brainwash his employees into thinking they got a raise when they actually got a cut when that makes no sense because it doesn't work long range and would cause issues when they do finances at home. Guess one of the writers was israeli.
>Ass Creed lore says he used the Apple of Edan to brainwash his employees into thinking they got a raise when they actually got a cut
That's fricking hilarious. Was that AC2? I must have missed it
2 or Brotherhood. In one of the Subject 16 files. Also says he gave the Apple to Hitler to start WW2 as a Templar scheme and agreed because he hated israelites that fricking much.
You know Dodge Motor Company?
Before they ran a car company, the Dodge brothers were investors. Investors in Ford Motor Company.
Henry Ford wasn't an idiot. He knew that the Dodge Bros were basically pirating his success to fund their own competitive venture. So he wanted to squeeze them out.
He promised to cut prices on all inventory, increase wages, expand rapidly. Everything to drive down profit. Technically, in the long term benefit of the company, according to him. Even if it fricked over shareholders in the short term.
The Dodge Bros sued him for it, and a Federal judge ruled in their favor that a company's main duty was towards its shareholders, and not to the long term business direction of the executive.
So basically, Ford was a moron, while Nintendo can argue that they're acting in the long-term health of the company including long-term profit for shareholders, even if it means not maximizing short-term quarterly gains.
>So basically, Ford was a moron
Peak American post right here.
Mercenary country right to the core.
I'm not the only one who wants to pimpslap the frick out of that illiterate anon am I?
I didn't say he was wrong, I said he was a moron, which he was. Nintendo's argument is that they're looking after the long-term stockholder value of the company by competing for skilled workers and ensuring they can deliver quality products. Their position is one that can be argued in court if it comes down to it. Ford's argument was "I'm going to frick with your dividends until you give up and leave" which no shit he's going to lose in court when he's that open about it when the investors can easily say "if he doesn't want us around then he can buy us out fairly."
I'm the first to argue that the stock market is the world's greatest cancer and has ruined everything its touched, but that's why you don't bother touching it to begin with unless you have very smart lawyers who can cover your ass.
To quote from the decision
>There should be no confusion (of which there is evidence) of the duties which Mr. Ford conceives that he and the stockholders owe to the general public and the duties which in law he and his codirectors owe to protesting, minority stockholders. A business corporation is organized and carried on primarily for the profit of the stockholders. The powers of the directors are to be employed for that end. The discretion of directors is to be exercised in the choice of means to attain that end and does not extend to a change in the end itself, to the reduction of profits or to the nondistribution of profits among stockholders in order to devote them to other purposes.
>There is committed to the discretion of directors, a discretion to be exercised in good faith, the infinite details of business, including the wages which shall be paid to employees, the number of hours they shall work, the conditions under which labor shall be carried on, and the prices for which products shall be offered to the public. It is said by appellants that the motives of the board members are not material and will not be inquired into by the court so long as their acts are within their lawful powers. As we have pointed out, and the proposition does not require argument to sustain it, it is not within the lawful powers of a board of directors to shape and conduct the affairs of a corporation for the merely incidental benefit of shareholders and for the primary purpose of benefiting others, and no one will contend that if the avowed purpose of the defendant directors was to sacrifice the interests of shareholders it would not be the duty of the courts to interfere.
These guidelines forever established that companies have to work in favor of shareholders over basically everything else, within the US.
If you stop and think about it, this makes sense you know. Shareholders have entrusted their money to your care in the expectation that you will use it to benefit them. If you take their money and deliberately waste it for your own benefit after promising them you wouldn't, how is that not fraud?
Shareholders technically are the company owners. CEOs are the people they appoint to manage the day-to-day operations.
>If you stop and think about it, this makes sense you know.
Only if you're israeli.
If you lent me money and asked me to invest it responsibly but I instead used it to buy stuff for myself, how would you react?
>and asked me to invest it responsibly
Investing in your employees IS investing it responsibly.
Again, you must be israeli.
It depends. Oftentimes it's money down the drain. Regardless, Ford wasn't doing it altruistically, he was doing it to deliberately tank the stock value of Ford to screw over Dodge who was a major investor of Ford at the time, and were using their investment profits in Ford to build up Dodge Motor Company.
>but the Workers!!!!
^this is the israeli trick. Have you ever read Marx? You sound like him.
>It depends.
Stopped reading there.
have a nice day.
Shalom Rabbi.
Stock has no value. It's not even real.
It's a percentage stake in ownership of a company purchased fair and square. You're essentially saying property isn't real, which is a very kosher opinion to have.
>You're essentially saying property isn't real
Actually, he's essentially saying that fiat currency isn't real, which would be correct.
Stocks existed before fiat did.
That's a different discussion.
>You're essentially saying property isn't real
The government can take everything on a whim, you really don't own anything.
Percentage stake is not property. I hope you're not too much of a israelite to comprehend this simple fact.
>Percentage stake is not property
Then stakeholders should have no rights over the direction of the company, since it's not their property.
Sounds right to me.
They already have a vote for if they don't like the direction a company is taking, selling their shares.
Based
It literally is, by definition. What do you think 'going public' means? It means the company splits ownership of itself up to public investors. It's no different than you allowing someone else to buy a stake in a few acres you own in exchange for having a say in how it is run. Voluntary collective ownership has existed since time immemorial. You don't know how economics work
Why do you think you're any different than people playing slots?
Just shut up and eat your losses on your gambling like any other remotely responsible person, you're somehow lower than an addict.
It's property value speculation. Same as someone buying a parcel of land in the hopes it will be worth more in the future.
Just because you don't know how to parse the jargon doesn't mean it's mindless casino gambling.
Then any crime a company executive or leader commits is partially the fault of the stockholders.
"Stock isn't real" is in fact the trick used to get around actually holding owners accountable for their company's action or levy fair taxes. It allows stockholders to reap all the benefits with absolutely no real risks.
Just listen to the basics. It's stupid. apply tjem to anything else, anon.
>Taxpayers have entrusted their money to Government's care in the expectation that they will use it to benefit them.
If Governments can use the money like they please so should the CEOs
>Implying I support government misusing taxpayer dollars
It's actually worse with governments, because if I don't pay my taxes I go to prison. I can at least choose to not invest
And this is why if I make a company it will be permanently private.
Frick investors.
Extremely hard to pull this off since it means you're self-funded for everything. What you do if you want that initial capital is to make sure you have the majority of all shares, or at least all voting shares, hire a smart lawyer who can legalize your way out of problems, and keep your mouth shut.
>These guidelines forever established that companies have to work in favor of shareholders over basically everything else
Not anymore. There's now an exception for homos! Budweiser investors still can't sue despite a very clear direction that does nothing but tank the value of the company is still being continued down by executives

I don't know where to begin. It shouldn't be illegal but why is it illegal? Where did the morality goes?
America's economy highly depends on growth, not shareholders'.
leaving out some important details. Henry ford slashed dividends to do so. That's why ut was controversial.
And now they move all their shit to mexico to pay their workers even less while trying to act like it's our fault for asking for a livable wage that keeps up with inflation. For the audacity of not working all day for negative income.
>you're a hasan troony!
No he's a huge capitalist. His entire income is made from other people's work.
They moved their shit to mexico because that's the most efficient way to get cheaper cars on the market. Don't blame corporations for fulfilling the desires of consumers
>The level of competition for human resources is increasing within the game industry, and we understand that many companies, not just Nintendo, are increasing wages for new hires...
Huh, I wonder who else they have in mind. A lot of the other big corpos seem crotchety.
Fascinating. If you can link me some sources I'll be happy to read.
Sega increased their wages and opened a new studio to hire new talent.
Further proof that Jap corpos > American corpos
Fricking imagine a publicly-traded American company doing this, absolutely unthinkable.
Ah thats why their games rarely got a discount
Nintendo are the good guys. Ganker lost.
Suddenly I have some respect for Nintendo.
>Paying someone 155 million a year to do nothing
Why are Americans like this?
Cool it with the antisemitism.
Activision is Bobby Kotick's private wild ride, basically he gutted and sold the company.
The parasites need to get paid. Frick the long term growth of the company. Frick the employees. The israelite needs his money now!
If you havent noticed blizzard is crashing in real time. WoW subs down, overwatch 2 is a flop, workplace sexual assualt, etc. Meanwhile nintendo is making more money than ever.
pretty sure blizzard is still very profitable, as sad as it may sound, blizzard generated record numbers during Shadowlands. Its just like GF on that regard, it just sells and they can always find a new scheme or rush a new game to wring out the normies
thats a israelite anon. not an american
what is the average american even meant to do to prevent this
stage another occupy wall street style movement? good luck having it take off though.

>protests start
>super covid leaks from a lab
Bobby not doing anything? Lmao he’s the reason why blizzard games are money printing machines. He’s a genius. Maybe an evil genius, but a genius nonetheless. He’s the man behind every monetization and player retention scheme.
The white man
Kotick isn't paid 155 million yearly, he's worth 155 million. If you were to take every single penny of his net worth and spread it out to ActiBlizzard's employees equally, it would amount to a single lump sum of about 9 grand each
>he's worth 155 million
Bobby Kotick is worth over half a billion, per documents from the Microsoft/Activision buyout case.
Source?
He literally just said the source
>9 grand each
Which they would all spend on starbucks and dominos over the course of 6 weeks.
I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s employees that are scared of risking defamation. If they’re disgruntled I assume they stay quiet. Not a bad move considering how litigious Nintendo is and how their pockets have no limit.
Early life strikes again
>give bad review of nintendo
>yakuza kills you and your famiry
>Bobby Kotick bad!
and yet cawadooty has yearly releases that aren't anywhere near as dogshit as pokemon is

What does even need all that money for. Why do israelites get so aroused by having more money than you could ever even think of spending. Invest it back into the company to make it a better place to work at you fricking israelite.
He's not israeli
And this why many devs keep flocking to nintendo and alot of japanese publisher are afraid of losing talent to nintendo
Bro this is something Ganker anons keep saying but the truth is that devs changing companies is really common. FF16 has on its credits people from everywhere. Even from places like persona, capcom and everywhere.
I believe this random account because Gamefreak's story is basically spot in with what everyone assumed anyway, a bunch of boomers that give no shits about innovation or positive development in their games.
>Nintendo is the best company to work for
>Gamefreak is the worst company to work for

Can't make this shit up
Same for Intsys ;_;
Gamefreak =/= Nintendo
how fricking new are you? them and the TPC own 33% of pokemon
Wrong. The ownership of The Pokemon Company is shared by Nintendo, Creatures and Game Freak, which are the actual direct owners of the Pokemon copyright. TPC itself was just created to deal with marketing and licensing deals, sometimes publishing, it doesn't hold the ownership of the franchise.
works for Nintendo
>Same for Intsys ;_;
No they don't. They're third party, didn't you know that?
>japanese youtuber
I thought Gireum is Korean?
>Worst places to work as a game dev in Japan is Gamefreak, Intelligent Systems and Platinum where they have scores of 2
Not surprised about GameFreak and Intelligent Systems given the shit they make but I wonder what goes on at Platinum.
>but I wonder what goes on at Platinum.
If I were to guess, poor management whenever they're not being tardwrangled by a different company and taking on a billion projects at the same time
Plus I doubt the pay is good either
I don’t remember what IntSys has done the last decade other than FE, but then I remembered the schizo mess that is Fates and I can tell that development and management there must be a mess.
They do Paper Mario and WarioWare too I believe.
Even then, Koei Tecmo's been doing a lot of the heavy lifting on FE for them.
They only did 3H, Engage was all IntSys.
>but I wonder what goes on at Platinum
Do you really think having pic as your boss would be enjoyable? The guy is a fricking idiot.
I mean one of Platinum's leads openly said they keep budgets down by mostly hiring fresh graduates and paying them frick all.
Part of it is the fact Platinum founded by ideas men, not businessmen. Remember, this place started out as an answer to Capcom closing down Clover due to underwhelming sales. Platinum in general has been coasting off the reputation of its founders from the start. They were seemingly solid the first couple of years, but after their deal with SEGA was up, it's been a steady stream of mediocrity or pure shit with maybe a good game here or there... that nobody buys.
>I wonder what goes on at Platinum
Run by a bunch of autists that needs to be tard wrangled by a competent publisher to produce anything. Basically like Monolith pre Nintendo buyout
This has been known for a long time, it’s job talk. Everyone here in japan knows about this. GF is a great place for a salary but horrible for working
Interesting. I guarantee you would get banned from /vp/ for making this thread.
>Interesting. I guarantee you would get banned from /vp/ for making this thread.
This started out on /vp/ many years ago (about 4? Or 3 years ago), so no.
Makes sense. As far as I'm aware, Nintendo JP has had a pretty spotless record since the 90s. They're anti-consumer, but they treat their own people well. Nintendo NA's had complaints, but most of it's just them fighting for more influence over the company and JP refusing to give it to them.
I'm surprised Konami's upped their game.
>They're anti-consumer, but they treat their own people well.
Well somehow that's a relief compared to corps that are anti-consumer and still frick their employees.
There is 0 evidence that Konami was ever a bad place to work at.
I mean, you’d think people at a game company would like to actually make games.
You'd think, but Valve employees have had free reign to make whatever they want for 15 years and do jack shit.
People are happy as long as they're being told what to do and you aren't demanding they be married to the company, throwing out all their work or hiring so poorly that annoying drama-loving coworkers flood the place.
https://www.valvesoftware.com/en/publications
Look at the new employee handbook. Valve is extremely cushy since steam is a money printer, so they really don't have to do anything unless someone comes up with an idea. However, when games are one of your highest effort types of projects with the least ROI, most people won't feel like contributing towards them (hence why valve makes no games outside gimmicks). Flat structure is nice when you think about the amount of bullshit in your way, but hierarchies will still form anyway, so why try to avoid them so hard? That's why I like other companies with more rigid structures, since there's going to be a cohesive vision somewhere along the chain instead of everyone attempting to fend for themselves. Balance is the key.
Subhuman homosexuals like you need to be killed
there's a "Frick Konami" message in one of the first Bemani games
>There is 0 evidence that Konami was ever a bad place to work at.
Imagine simping for Konami of all companies. the way they treated Kojima, IGA and how Shinta Nojiri disappeared from face of the earth doing anything vidya related is enough evidence.
Death Stranding and Bloodstained exposed Kojima and IGA hard.
Never played Death Stranding and not planning to, but all Bloodstained games are good.
>all Bloodstained games are good.
You have rocks in your head and you desperately need to play more games.
The average person ate both of those games up. I don’t think it exposed anything unfortunately
Both were good games, and the wojack you're going to post because you don't have an argument doesn't prove otherwise.
And where's your argument? Death Stranding is a video game shitpost coasting on ISN'T KOJIMA SO WACKY?! WHAT A GENIUS! and Bloodstained is is a crude mockery for people who think Castlevania started with SotN.
>Bloodstained is is a crude mockery for people who think Castlevania started with SotN.
Good thing IGA and Inti-Creates made Curse of the Moon 1 and 2 and how both of these games are wildly regarded.
>Classicvania for SotN babbies
Wow. Inafune should have made Mighty No 9 in a faux retro style too.
>thinking curse of the moon is anything like SOTN
you should at least search up gameplay of the games you're shit talking before you pretend you played them
>I can't read!
Iga didn't make shit. You can see who made those games on wikpedia and mobygames.
Both far better than the average game made in the year (decade [century]) they came out
Iga isn't a developer or designer or programmer.
He only directed one game called Elder Gate on the ps1. He didn't make any castlevanias. He's a producer.
Learn what a producer does, anon.
Konami did nothing wrong when they fired Kojima. He kept going past MGS V development deadlines that Konami had set in place and was way over budget. Konami was absolutely in the right for firing him over that disaster.
Wrong. The game made back its full budget day-one. Kojima helped build Konami into what it was and deserved more freedom than the bigwigs were giving him.
Though I will concede that Kojima was probably being a dick/primadonna about it and definitely wasted a lot of resources on licensed '80s music and 3D scanning Joosten's pussy.
>3D scanning Joosten's pussy.
That is the antithesis of wasting money.
Reminds me of Ea, who apparently treat their employees pretty well lol
That’s a lie, EA even recently laid off a frick ton of employees while making record profits.
That can't be true when they used to buy up studios and completely gut them
Used to
>Anti consumer
I'm tired of this meme. Wtf are you on about? They don't flood their games with microtransactions or loot crates or battle passes, no always online, their online service is cheaper than the rest, their consoles aren't full of advertising or non-game related frickery.
They're anti piracy, for obvious reasons. That's not anti-consumer. 99% of their "anti consumer" stuff circles back to piracy. Blame the poors.
They made me buy Mario World 4 like 6 times now.
It's anti consumer or something
keeping your titles evergreen full price 6 years after release is pretty anti consumer.
Platinum is probably a pretty soul-draining experience unless you get to work on the next Bayo/action thing, that Babylon Fall team that sunk years into a shitty live-service that was up for all of 4 months is probably not in a good place right now.

>in-house politics are always carried out, and the director's favorite staff will be promoted to work regardless of ability. However, because I am entrusted with big work even though I do not have the ability, it is another excellent staff who actually solves the problem. Basically, the director only sees the result, so only the assigned staff is evaluated. For this reason, excellent staff retired immediately, and most of the remaining staff are those at the time of company establishment and those who have no ability to succeed in internal politics
Reason for retirement

Well that confirms the rumors about the development of Fates basically being a war in itself. Sounds like the leadership at that company is absolutely trash.
Wonder if that would also explain why FE seems to change so much from game to game, doesn't sound like they have anyone there to wrangle the staff into having a singular vision.

>turns out that devs complain how the staff at gamefreak are decades out of date with technology and consists of senior staff who have no clue what they're doing
This was known over two decades ago when Iwata had to make Gold and Silver work cause nobody in the team knew how.
It makes sense that they keep hiring the same damn writer.
Iwata had the pimp hand that kept Nintendo employees on track. Made Gold/Silver work when GameFreak was too incompetent to even get the first half to fit on the cart, forced Takahashi to check his ego and deliver an actual finished Xeno game by telling him to finish the assets they already had story plans for rather than making even more plans.
And then he named the Wii U
Someone post that screencap of the jap lady that works at Unintelligent Systems
How are Level-5 devs treated, especially with how they shifted focus to consoles now?
>How are Level-5 devs treated, especially with how they shifted focus to consoles now?
Worse than NIS somehow.
>gamefreak
but dont they make pokemon? should be one of the easiest places to work at considering the quality of stuff put out
if you're management, maybe
>because their games sell anyways
lmao what's the problem, then? at the very core, those are shitty children's games (made even worse in the last decade) that are made to sell merchandise. you and those devs are all about feelings. business is about making money
>Game Freak
Super rich and lazy and there are westerners? Most likely corruption.
>Platinum
Small studio barely keeping up financally it's expected to be hell and a lot of work.
>Intelligent Systems
Another independent small studio.
I don't expect work to be comfortable unless company is super rich or some small sized studio that is formed by some friends most likely some comfey hentai studio.
Nintendo should unironically buy Platinum, they need an internal team that can make decent action games and platinum is barely keeping their heads up.
Is a no brainer.
Platinum just makes flops after flops, and they're not like Monolith Soft where they have amazing engine and graphics developers to assist other games.
I disagree platinum games look good on product level but sales are disaster true. They did help in FFXVI for example. The issue is with making game and artists also they refuse to include fanservice on non old hag like bayonetta. Overall platinum can drop games on DMC level so they're not that bad they just need better art and direction and funding. Funding is huge issue for sure. SE game that bombed was bad from beginning and they wanted live service garbage.
Nintendo just need to partnership and get workers after ship sinks why waste money on buying them? Platinum even helped in FFXVI and they put many exclusives for nintendo. Honestly financially it doesn't make sense unless capcom wants to expand and some people are already old better to invest in younger generation.
the reviews and it turns out that devs complain how the staff at gamefreak are decades out of date with technology and consists of senior staff who have no clue what they're doing and not care because their games sell anyways
Kinda confirming what everyone knew already.
GF is literally coasting on their bottled lightning that is pokemon. Best place to work if you dont care about doing anything meaningful, but soul crushing if you do.
>reads the reviews and it turns out that devs complain how the staff at gamefreak are decades out of date with technology and consists of senior staff who have no clue what they're doing and not care because their games sell anyways

Too high. Maybe some shill reviews for promotion kek. Then again you have useless workers like picture where her main job to make company lose sales.

For such massive company with thousands of employees this is impressive as frick.
>it turns out that devs complain how the staff at gamefreak are decades out of date with technology and consists of senior staff who have no clue what they're doing and not care because their games sell anyways
Yeah that checks out
I'm guessing this isn't including Ubishit because it's Japanese based?
You can check Ubisoft on glassdoor.

How is Tango Gameworks viewed?
Congrats, snoys.
No way this is an actual rating when they killed off Japan studio and moved their HQ to California.
PS5 has no games, they're getting paid to do nothing.
Business decisions have nothing to do with how their work ambient is. The reason why Sony has a good quality control is because they do not rush their devs, the ex art director from GoW said that.
>Sony has a good quality control
>Back to back to back NOGAEMS
Can't make bad games if you make no games
They make their workers attend LGBT events and take it in the arse! That's how good environment for gays is
Average Ganker console war moron is too stupid. Not worth it.
This. that's why the Steam Deck suckers are morons
Whoever is left is getting paid to jerk off all day.
Sony is more then their Games and Movies division.
They don't do any work.
FromSoft?
Wouldn't FromSoftware be listed under Kadokawa?
Not that great but honestly the things they complain about is standard for most programming jobs in the game industry.
>long hours
>crunch
>lower than expected pay
I don't know how good this site is though.
Oh if it's not clear I found it from a leddit thread.
Sounds a little like an out of school farm
That's most likely the case. Miyazaki was an accountant before deciding to jump into game development after playing ICO and according to him only fromsoft gave him a shot because there's some stigma against changing your career in japan.
I recall the company did some shake up by raising salaries for its employee like 40% after Elden Ring came out, never see any follow-up on that though. But yeah, it's an especially shitty company for its worker.
>27k annual as a programmer

I remember reading an article about how Nintendo was basically the most desirable Japanese company to work at, only losing to government jobs and big tech companies like Amazon, Google and Apple, but holy shit. How did they do it?
>How did they do it?

Well far starters, they never fell for the "crunch" meme. They'd sooner delay a game than do crunch.
crazy how everyone thinks a lot of labor issues don't have pretty simple solutions
Why aren't you working for Nintendo, Ganker?
because my only skills are gardening and wood carving
Why didn't you marry into Shigeru Miyamoto's family, Ganker?

Something like "leave luck to the heaven"

Within the tech field, not warehousing wage slaving.
AWS is huge.
It's primarily been lead by "creative types", as soulless corpos like to call them, and not by "money people".
They prioritize their own culture for the sake of long term planning over chasing corporate trends for the sake of it. Almost every single Nintendo suit including their presidents has worked and lived in amongst others with that same Nintendo mentality before they even get put in charge
>organic growth
the same bullshit sony was trying to say before spending billions on buyouts
Nintendo's going to be acquiring, just not to the scale of Sony (and certainly not Microsoft)
Lol this is years old. We already know that they injected this money in their own studios last year, they have been in a constant recruitement drive since the Switch released.
Not exactly video game related but what is the rating like for Gozilla's company, Toho, Hideaki Anno's company, Studio Khara, Studio Ghibli, and Toei Animation?
>Toho: 3.33
>Ghibli: 3.16
>Toei: 3.41
Apparently only 2 people left reviews for Studio Khara (1 and 3 stars), so it’s unranked.
What about the one that was set alight?
I love Koei Tecmo glad they aren't a dumpster to work at
What about eagle jump?
>Director of your newest game makes you dress up in a maid outfit for her entertainment

Oh look let's bully gamefreak

Any data for Inti and Experience?
>inti creates
Could be better but there's not many reviews. So many companies has "Experience" in their name I can't help you with that one.
Thanks anon. Experience is also pretty small anyway so I don't expect a lot of reviews.
Not bad for DIMPS, honestly. Love their fighting games
Huh, not bad at all
>reads the reviews and it turns out that devs complain how the staff at gamefreak are decades out of date with technology and consists of senior staff who have no clue what they're doing and not care because their games sell anyways
yeah. that sounds like gamefreak allright
And it will never change. Maybe one day when a dev team not related to gamefreak mogs them when they get the chance to make a new pokemon.
>Maybe one day when a dev team not related to gamefreak mogs them
Already happened with Genius Sonority, three times too.
Yeah but i'm talking a real considerable team with size and budget. Not with only 22 employees
And in return they butchered them as a company ans stole their talent under their miasma of ineptitude
The fact that little town hero was a cross platform game without anyone having any idea that was the case goes to show how irrelevant game freak would be without Pokemon. They'd literally just be a shitty indie studio.
It was a test game you frick
Test for what?
Experience for a young team it wasn't meant to be good
>it wasn't meant to be good
kek Is that your excuse for Pokemon too?
Pokemon is good. Its one of tne biggesfranchise and Japanese people agree
>Pokemon is good.
the porn, yes. the games, frick no.

No, just no.
Frick off with this bait
yes, the japanese are wrong.

Nips are never wrong. troonyneko is a kusoge
Black person
>over 12m slant eyed drones are wrong?
Yes.
>shitty indie studio.
Considering the sales of lth, they would just be gone without pkmn. I wish nintendo could buy gf.
GM har rights to the most valuable ip in the planet. One where they get infinite money yearly just by doing the minimum. 0% of chances of them selling themselves, it's stupid.
>GM
GF*
True, if only their internal political would lead to one of them being a massive pos and selling gf.
The truth is
The only thing that makes companies want to get better and deliver a better product is :
1- they are managed by creative people who worked in the industry and not suits
2- they have competition
GF will only start doing any efforts to make pokemon better if something changes in the hearts of their suits(almost impossible) or they see a new pokemon-like in the industry( almost impossible2)
The next game is the one I'm curious about.
Even though SV sold 22m, it's was received very poorly. I'm sort of hoping for a Last Jedi effect to Solo on it, but I very much doubt it. Japan sales alone were ridiculous
The hype was massive, but the fall-off afterwards was significant too.
Oh that's not going to happen at all because the thing is that everything is in its favor
Major rpg franchises like FF that could have been competition are moving away from rpgs leaving turn based rpgs barren
Other monster tamer franchises still can't match the roster count even after dexit.
Even with these it's also has a thriving competitive community.
>They'd literally just be a shitty indie studio.
Lmao Gamefreak wouldn't be able to get as much money as summertime saga without Pokemon
It's funny how most studios have moved to development cycles lasting multiple years instead of just one, whereas Game Freak has done the literal opposite. The first Pokemon games were started in 1990 and took 6 years to make, and now they're doing a bigger mainline release almost every year, each being a lazier copypaste than the last.
It's like they can only do one thing and are just testing how little effort they can get away with before people stop buying.
>It's like they can only do one thing and are just testing how little effort they can get away with before people stop buying.
If Scarlet and Violet broke records they're still far from rock bottom, unfortunately. It'll be amusing to see how low they can go.
The worse issue is how they can release the most broken and unifished piece of shit and journos will still give 9s and 10s to pokemon. It's ridiculous.
There is no reason for them to try getting better if they dont even get critical backlash.
>and journos will still give 9s and 10s to pokemon. You know pokemon has never averaged more than an 8 right
Yeah. And it's still too high for modern pokemon.
It's been getting lower in recent years.
Frick it, threads dying anyway, I'm not fixing it.
That’s not really true, many reviews actually did deduct SV for being a janky mess. It was THAT broken.
But only because SV almost seemed like a experiment to test how far they can go to see if people complain. If SV wasnt bugged as frick it would not be criticized.
>But only because SV almost seemed like a experiment to test how far they can go to see if people complain
You're an idiot because Dexit was a much, much bigger controversy.
> If SV wasnt bugged as frick it would not be criticized.
No shit. That's pretty much the only thing wrong with it.
>That's pretty much the only thing wrong with it.
It was extremely ugly and barren for 90% of the game, even for Pokemon standards.
No not really, as far as mainline pokemon games go it probably had the most content in a first entry since black and white
Like what? No really. And are you really defending the fricking graphics?
>Like what?
Anon, the campaign itself is one of the longest in pokemon as it is. If it had a battle tower no one would complain.
And I don't particularly care about graphics either way not that they were particularly bad but then again I have more experience with games.
But that is them
>how they can release the most broken and unifished piece of shit and journos will still give 9s and 10s to pokemon.
except it didn’t get particularly high scores because of how broken it was.
Yeah, and this is the issue. They can keep doing the same low effort formula for decades. As long as it isnt broken they can keep pumping their own FIFA/MADDEN.
Didn't deduct nearly enough. It was broken in the same fashion as cyberpunk was, and that was given 4/10s while pokemon was getting 8/10s
BDSP and SV did end up with a low-70 metacritic, obviously did not have an effect on sales
Then they pulled something different and less buggy with Legends, got scores in the 80s, and didn't sell that well
>and didn't sell that well
It sold almost 14m.
That's more than I remembered but I meant in terms of compared to those two lower scoring titles. As a spin-off and in terms of general video game sales it did amazing no denying that.
It's a single game. It didn't have the advantage of double dipping.
>and now they're doing a bigger mainline release almost every year
Eh, I mean, the period between generations has always been like 3 years or so and they have people who aren't working on the next work on a third version or dlc.
Granted Arceus and and SV did come out the same year but SS to SV is still three years.
>The first Pokemon games were started in 1990 and took 6 years to make
Because it was by a team of six friends who had to be salvaged by Iwata.
Already happened multiple times its just make Gamefreak more petty
from the look of that picture, you're most mad at the term "decades old", aren't you?
ALART: SOME COMPANIES DO MORE THAN JUST CREATE AND PUBLISH VIDEO GAMES. Square enix does manga publishing and Konami does fitness for example. So does think all of the praise or negativity fall within the gaming sector.
What is this statement even supposed to mean?
Being such big companies makes these ratings even more impressive if they manage to keep a high average score.
The truth is that comparing scores of a small team like Atlus or even SEGA to SE is insane.
He's deflecting Sonys anime losses
I dont think so, you're just obsessed.
My first post
*So don't think all of the praise or negativity fall only within the gaming sector.*
Goddammit how did I frick that up?

Sounds like Nintendo
Pay attention to the thread and its comments showing the contrary
Gift is the company that produces Fumos. Can anyone provide the rating for Gift?
https://www.gift-gift.jp/
probably high since they can make the same copy pasted shit and have reards pay hundreds for it.

Maybe the slot machine employees are happy at Konami?
Someone please reveal the rating for Sanrio! I am curious about what it is like working at the company in charge of Hello Kitty, My Melody, etc
Anything interesting about Team Ninja specifically?
>Furyu this high
Surprised with this one. Too bad their games are getting localized by prudish and ideological c**ts.
Isn't their pricing absurd too?
>SNK this low
I guess Chinese and Saudi money isn't enough.
Yes, their games are also too expensive
whoops. Also not "low", but somehow lower than DIMPS and Capcom
Oh wow, Toby Fox is voted worst individual to work for in Japan. I wonder why?
Didn't he work on Pokemon Scarlet Violet and Smash Ultimate? He must come across as a diva then.
If you don't mind me asking, could you give me a screenshot of that?
Come on, you can't just say something like that and not screenshot it
Discuss what? we know that modern pokemon is shit and should be dead but it keeps selling. There is nothing we can do but move on to other games.
>please don't expect to much
don't expect to much
That's not what i said. What i mean is that it's hopeless. You can't change gamefreak if the games keep selling.
That's what he said anon, more or less.
I think it was SM prerelease.
Oh i see, that's what Masuda said right? I think i remember now
>Loved all the TENGO Project remakes

A shame. I hope all these oji-sans pass on their pixel art knowledge to the next generation.
I really cant even imagine how out of touch the people in charge of these poor rated companies must be. Imagining the oldest boomer ever who dislikes the concept of internet existing.

No it doesnt. Most of the time game devs in japan do not have good salaries.

Still sounds really accurate if you have any idea of how these companies' reputation are in Japan.
People have been saying shit about Gamefreak for decades. They’ve always been hideously incompetent. Back in GSC Iwata himself needed to step in to make Kanto and Johto fit in the game.
Taito doesn't make new games anymore, right? All they do is rereleases
huh that's a good score
they are under SE now, btw
i believe they still maintain Taito arcades and handle licenses.
most places are going to be average places to work. havens like nintendo or valve (if you just like getting paid and maintaining the ecommerce side) and hellholes like activision blizzard are outliers.
Do we have Falcom's score?
Here's the devil that killed Senran Kagura and allowed Xsneed to ruin everything else.

>3.21

lol
Doesnt surprises me, they seem like the guys who are sent to fix shit in other projects.
>Nintendo getting 4.86
>Meanwhile every other company is below 4
Why can't these companies just copy what Nintendo is doing?
Nintendo is the largest game company that's still independently owned. As a result, they have the financial strength to invest in worker friendly policies, while not being turbofricked by corporate bullshit.
Is SEGA, Bamco, or Square Enix not independently owned? Also Nintendo still answer to shareholders
51% right?
turning their fanbase into cult members? fromsoft and atlus are doing that
Nintendo owns a majority of their own shares (shares that are never for sales btw) and restrict foreign investors from investing too much into them. Nintendo is controlled by the people working for Nintendo.
Any for Tango Gameworks?
Only 9 reviews tho
what do they say?
>inb4 it's bad because there's a gaijin
I don't have access, I don't have an account. Some other anon has access and did posted reviews.
Too bad they forced out Mikami, he seems like a good dude.
Mikami wanted to retire for almost a decade. He finally got someone he can trust to make sure his company lives on past him and you try to spread this buttshit lie.
Any for GUST? (Atelier devs)
One of the few decent threads in months while the catalog is flooded with shills, bait or off-topic shit. Good job OP.
>SV is a step in the right direction! The next game is going to be great, for sure!
>GF is already wasting time with rushed bloated DLC, and cutting their attention in half with a "AAA" game they're going to get Rockstar of all companies to publish, so that means Gen 10 is going to be more of the same, at best
Words cannot describe how much it hurts to be a modern day Pokemon fan
Why the frick do people even parrot the "SV is a step in the right direction" bullshit? Was every Poketurd that eager to have a glitchy bland open world filled with jack shit and characters that don't react to anything?
It's a step in the right direction.
Battered wives. It's telling that you hear the same thing about Sonic Frontiers.
It's cope at this point. Pokegays knew it was dogshit, but didn't want to admit it after throwing an embrassing fit for SWSH, that the first new gen to be actually 3D didn't do it very well. Hell, after TOTK more and more of either bemoaned that Zelda could get better games,, or tried to act like TOTK was a worse game somehow.
I've never seen this, not on /vp/ either.

>Gen 9 is their first open world coop game so it's okay it looks like shit, buy Gen 10
>Gen 10 is their first Switch 2 game....
>gen 8
>open world
HOW
That shit is linear beyond belief. The
>open world
area is literally just a fricking safari zone that is linked to 2 different areas. If I grabbed a random gen 7 route and made it 5x bigger while keeping the rest of the game exactly the same, would it suddenly become an open world game? Because that's exactly what gen 8 is
The dlcs are open world!
In my defense, I deleted that piece of shit game before the DLC even came out. I assumed that the DLC was just a second wild area
No matter how shit SV was, that game really is the only open world pokemon game
Anyone got RGG?
very high since they can just reuse the same assests over and over and throw in lazy kdrama tier shit plots
When Nagoshi was there it was probably really high, they just got to slap together some reused assets and make a new game and then spend the rest of your time partying with JAV girls while openly getting to mock chigyus that play other games. Yokoyama probably makes the place more boring.

FE, paper mario and wars saga. maybe the IP is too big for that shitty company lol
I bet you anything the low rating is because of the gacha overwork
keeping a gacha alive is super easy compared to any project, it should not be a issue for IS workers, since all art are commissions and VA outsiders
You sure? I'm under the impression that maintaining a gacha is more stressful than making a game straight up
Honestly, I imagine IS is only a fun place to work when they're making WarioWare. So they only make one when they need to increase company morale.
I bet that it's FE and Paper Mario. FE has zero direction as a series with bad stories and terrible characters and Paper Mario games are basically listening to whatever the frick Tanabe comes up with.
>no fromsoft
Are they not listed?
What I hope should be obvious to most people here is that, people that have a positive experience with a company pretty much never leave a positive comment, so these sites are predominantly for negative reviews and shills/ fake reviews.
Depends if it was outrageously bad rating. I wouldn't trust a company or a service below 2.5 rating, it gives me red flags.
>the negative reviews are real but the positives are fake
>but there are positives anyway you just cant see them
What a useless fricking comment
it's the same shit that happens on glassdoor and every other company review site. Literally competitors pay 3rd party companies to leave negative reviews of competitors to make them look bad for prospective employees.
These job review sites are literal bullshit in every country and all these homosexual tendies with Stockholm syndrome bliwing nintendo because le employees are happy us hilarious.
Cope. Nintendo has universally been considered a great place to work at.
>that nobody buys.
Bayonetta ruined the momentum they had with Nintendo by doing that stupid SJW shit with Viola. They had a good thing going with Bayo 2 and Astral Chain. Astral Chain even sold like 1.3 million or so.
There's actually nothing sjw with Viola. The issue with her is that she's a ugly, generic punk brat in a Bayo game and her gameplay is utterly dogshit.
>consists of senior staff who have no clue what they're doing and not care because their games sell anyways
I kneel
If you think about it, Intelligent Systems getting low scores like Gamefreak makes perfect sense, and I've seen other people compare Intsys' recent behavior to GF's. While engage did have some good gameplay, everything else in the game screams of commercialisation and serialization. Low effort writing, tons of mechanics that mimic FE Heroes, gacha mechanics and shilling of old lords that can be seen as pushing people towards falling for the gacha addiction.
Furthermore, the "old employees are bad for the games/company" also could apply, as the writing staff for fates and engage is the same, and those games are widely hated for having absolutely dogshit writing. I know that a lot of people dislike self insert shit and avatar dicksucking but I also know that some of the higher-ups at intsys love that shit.
Those sound like criticisms towards the employees, unrelated to this site, which aggregates critique from employees towards their employers
Reminder that you brought this on yourself
Excuse me, I stopped at X and Y
Then how do you know it's shit?!
I only played yellow and when my gf got a newer one I tried it and it kept throwing boring cutscenes at me and I got sleepy and quit.
I called X/Y shit from the start, and the last game I bought was B/W, I've pirated them all since.
The last Pokemon I paid money for was X. I always held standards.
You're still playing them so you don't really have standards
I have never stated such a thing
It's clear
This is the lowest effort strawman I've seen and I go on snoy thread
It's true though
I know and that's why I accept every insult you give me I deserve it, but after SV I can't really justify anymore.
I enjoyed Arceus and before that X but that's it
Isn't Intelligent Systems literally in the same building and practically integrated into Nintendo? Doesn't make a whole lot of sense.
There were israeli business in the world trade centers
Why else would the Arabs attack?
Square Enix and Disney Japan shared the same elevator in Japan, which is how Kingdom Hearts was born
KH was born because Nomura and crew just went to the Disney heads and said, "we're hard at work working on that game you asked for" and they just agreed to it without even checking it was real or not, and by the time they did, it was already too deep into development to back down now. Plus Disney in the US was looking for the youth demographic, and they still didn't have a full grasp on video games just yet, so just rolled with it
So the game exists out of a bluff?
Is KH the only legit succesful Disney IP in vidya before things like Spiderman released? after they bought Marvel
Mickey Mouse had games for a long time, NES through Wii. Also ducktales but tbf that's only one game
Yeah but i'm talking about a real IP with constant games and releases that sell. It's weird how they dont have any. They are investing hard in marvel games recently tho
Probably easier than having to enter in this industry with full studios.
Btw it's interesting how SE is moving to a new mega building that was finished recently in Shibuya. Their reports about hiring more people and expanding arent a lie.
Nomura will really make sora fight at the top of the SE building.
Fake news like what
said. Where the frick did that elevator story come form anyway?
During Bayo days Platinum had rough project schedules. In fact Bayo development schedule was brutal and so was Metal Gear Rising.
Of course it's not the same company anymore they really fell out of grace.
Yeah but it's easy to imagine that most people internally were excited to be working on Bayonetta or MGR. Much harder to imagine the same excitement for even Bayonetta 3, let alone Bayblon's Fall or, god forbid, Scalebound.
Guy really paid money to find out what we already knew?
>company makes money hand over fist selling cheap garbage to idiots for decades
>employees are happy
Big shocker
Pokemon SV wasn't all it could but but it would be the best game on PS5 and Xbox by a long shot.
Maybe then it would look like a launch PS4 game
SV wouldn't even cut on a PS3. The issue isn't hardware, it never was. The issue is GF and TPCi being inept at their work
I think he's saying that pokemon would automatically be the best game on those systems if they were on PlayStation regardless of issues.
>a pokemon on the ps5
gamefreak can't make shit, even with nintendo babysitting its ass the entire time.
I can't even imagine how bad it would end if they had to work with sony, that tries to lock down everything just because they can
How is Sandlot doing?
>>it's heavily moderated, you have to show credentials to post in it and requires a paid subscription
In other words, nobody else can verify to see if any of it is real? Cool.
so game freak is a shit place to work at but what about The Pokemon Company, or Creatures Inc?
Pokemon company is probably all marketing and shit. y
marketing is fun usually. lots of women
>staff at gamefreak are decades out of date with technology and consists of senior staff who have no clue what they're doing and not care because their games sell anyways
what a shocker
What about ArcSys?
What about From Software?
Wait so gamefreak has og old devs? Wtf I thought diversity hires were ruining Pokemon not the devs being dinosaurs. Older devs are supposed to be based and produce soul, wtf happened?
Where did you get that impression?
no one has ever said diversity hires were ruining pokemon the argument has always been geriatric morons who don't know what the frick they are doing have remained in charge and will not do anything of value because they do not have to care. They are the same people iwata had to btfo during gold and silver where he fixed the entire game to run properly on his own because they could not stop fricking up.
>Wait so gamefreak has og old devs? Wtf I thought diversity hires were ruining Pokemon not the devs being dinosaurs. Older devs are supposed to be based and produce soul, wtf happened?
Bulk of them are new hires, read the thread
The argument always has been that pokemon was just the same game being pushed by out of touch boomer devs which became really clear the handful of times they try a new IP and it bombs amazingly.
>Wait so gamefreak has og old devs? Wtf I thought diversity hires were ruining Pokemon not the devs being dinosaurs. Older devs are supposed to be based and produce soul, wtf happened?
Old people running these companies can be a double edged knife
It's great when it's an old man who truly loves games and it's still there because he still loves doing and working in new projects, like Koei Tecmo's CEO. But can also be a curse if we are talking about a suit being in control since the 90s.
>like Koei Tecmo's CEO.
That guy is so based
Old devs that only produced game boy colors games and nothing else are not good ones, they just got very lucky with Pokemon
Gamefreak has always been incompetent. There were plenty of bugs in Pokemon Red and Blue.
I would LOVE to see Joe Merrick's reaction to this, that fricking shill must be fuming.
These reviews are easily faked
MIIIIISTAAAAAA MERRICKUUUUUUU
HOW COULD YOU LETTO THISU HAPPEN?
Not gonna lie i miss all the Masuda memes. I was always the funniest shit i don't know why.
red and blue were rough but aside from that pokemon games have been remarkably stable until recently
i've played thousands of hours of these games and i don't recall one ever crashing or wiping my save data or anything like that
>when gamefreak works in the same fricking building
That doesn't actually mean anything
Decided to look up the creators of the gamecube pokemon games since they're only working on the pokemon cafe mobage at the moment. 3.19 with eight reviews. They all seem old though, latest was from 2017 which was the year they put out a mobile game for their self-developed IP which I never fricking heard of until I looked around at what they were doing, Denpa Men.

That's quite a nice bit of information. One problem I have is my badly translated review says the parts they were in charge of were completed by themselves and not shared. For such a small team of around 20 I'd would think there would be more discussions and sharing amongst the employees but I ain't no JP employee of a starving game company.
We already knew that about gamefreak.
>>"One day one of my managers came up to my desk, exclaimed they were Wario and farted at me. It smelt like garlic all day."
>>"I had an incident at work where I slipped and dropped my lunch. Instead of checking if I was OK the rest of the team said it made for a great microgame idea and immortalised my embarrassment in a Wario Ware game forevermore."
This is a very special kind of bully.
>asian with bowl cut and thick glasses and chopsticks
>i'm not a japanese speaker
fake asian. dropped. disliked. report
Yep, sounds about right
i wish the game freak building would be burnt down by some extremely crazy poke-fanatic
One thing that's made incredibly clear is that even though Intelligent Systems and Monolith are Nintendo subsidiaries, Nintendo actually doesn't really get involved in their individual workplace cultures much. And Gamefreak isn't even owned by Nintendo in the first place, so Nintendo doesn't give a shit what they do.
Intsys isn't a Nintendo subsidiary, they're third party.
>Gamefreak isn't even owned by Nintendo in the first place
Shit I didn't know this.
Did you know that intsys isn't either?
I don't even know what that is. I don't play Nintendo games.
Fire Emblem developers.
Looks like he confirmed something we all knew about GF. Pokemon needs a massive dud and maybe GF can be whipped into shape or told to frick off from development, but at this point it's too big to fail.
I dont give a shit about ratings, post some actual translated reviews from devs like Platinum, want to know whats actually going on
>Masuda starved Genius Sonority for this shit
Yamana deserves better, he’s the literal fricking creator of the DQ battle system and its entire mechanics on top of being the Armor Project member
