Bandai Namco turns 20 today. Thoughts on this company?
>>
>>722165829
I just want Ace Combat 8 and a GOOD Gundam game. Is that too much to ask for?
>>
Shadow Labyrinth wasn't a good game and I don't get how it is supposed to tie all the Namco IPs together. Plus the AI is atrocious, the level design is mind bogglingly stupid, and the distribution of abilities feels random.
>>
>sit on properties doing nothing
>when they do decide to do something, give it zero budget
I hate these cunts.

>Still can't get One Piece cards anywhere for MSRP

Make it make sense.
>>
>>722166345
>>722166372
To be fair, Im not sure a lot of people would consider a merger a "birthday". And in my mind its still just Namco. I dont give a shit about the Bandai stuff.
>>
>>722165829
I can't in good conscience call this company just incompetent, I believe they're actively malicious.

The quality drop from Namco to Bamco is ridiculous. Namco was one of the greats now it's just an anime sloppa AA publisher

The Ace Combat guys are too busy doing nothing for half a decade

>>722166636
That's because all the anime slop shit was AND STILL IS Bandai's domain. The namco games (Tekken, Ace Combat, Tales) are still fine

What the fuck happened. It's not like they have new IPs, From stuff doesn't count because they're just publishing that, it's not in-house
>>
>>722166857
Retard it's been 20 damn years they shouldn't have to explain every damn time that Bandai and Namco used to be separate companies

And of course it would be referring to the merger because anyone with a brain could figure that Bandai and Namco wouldnt have the same birth date
>>

Fine as in barely alive, releasing 1 game a decade.

That's part of AA anime sloppa. Idolmaster is another Namco AA anime sloppa franchise

I'm not a retard you are. Not everyone knows every single company merger and it doesnt make them illiterate or retarded. Specially when it is not explicicly stated as such. When saying something was born most people assume its new and not a merger which makes you a mega retard for not realizing that

Yes fewer games is a good thing. Who wants to play more than ONE Ace Combat a decade or ONE Ridge Racer (made by westerners) in two decades? That's just silly
>>
>>722165829
Just another big company that used to be great and now they're making nothing but soulless slops and DEI-pandering crap.
>>
>>722167924
Those are obviously different you inbred. Unless you're part of the minority that plays fighting games for the story then less frequent releases is much better.
>>
>>722167856
of course it's bamco's fault, these braindead niggers have the rights for the One Piece games but make only low budget trash games when in reality it deserves a 5+ year high budget game from a AAA top developer studio

Assuming you meant "can't"; it's a solidly average game. If it's cheaper than a solidly average cup of coffee in whatever shithole you live in then go for it.

>>722168356
I only had Vol. 3 so I still think it's the best, the first two don't have the extra-fancy game rooms of the 3rd and the later two feel less like museums somehow. Plus motherfucking TOWER OF DRUAGA. They're all really cool though, I spent hours wandering in that shit with that jazztastic music.

i want to make something clear to anyone below the age of 40.
Your hobbies DO NOT repel females. If it does repel them it's because they were not going to like you anyways.
Women don't enjoy hobbies because CERTAIN MEN RUIN IT. Like with hobby stores, game stores, comic book stores.
It's the "hard core" smelly autistic elitest that makes women cringe.
It's pathetic to wear a stock image of batman t shirt when you're old enough to drink and you're out in public. You look like a manchild.
There are geeky shirts that are much more lowkey and more mature looking while at the sametime a nod to anyone who sees it knows exactly what it is.
Your behavior is what repels women. It's your height. It's your weight. It's your lack of hygene. It's your shit car and what phone you use.
It's endless. Stop trying to attract women you'd be miserable with to begin with.

Come on man, a Xillia port was increasingly necessary, PS3 backwards compat isn't available on PS4 or 5 because of architecture which meant the game was exclusively playable to people who own a console from two decades ago.

Exactly, that's why women don't go after guys who dress like that. Even geeky women have some class to them or they're attractive enough to get away with it.
There are multiple celebrities that are huge geeks but never really casually flaunt it.
I wear a Batman shirt, but many don't know what it is. It's a picrel.
You'd be surprised how many people don't know what this is. I have had people think that's wear I work.

>>722179548
Tell you what, I got one of these in a raffle a local plamo seller was doing and I had no idea what to do with it so I slapped it on my bag and basically forgot about it and in all the months I've had it one there the only person to actually acknowledge it was the daughter of the security guard who saw me one day. So no one who actually worked with me.

The only thing that came out of it was just a conversation about anime and how their kid had a collection of their own that was taking up a lot of space and another person had a video of their son's collection.
Basically what I'm saying is, even if you have the character on your person and not hidden no one really cares if you've already established yourself as a nice guy despite your nerdy hobbies.
It also helps if you just own it like when the guard talked to me about it and asked if I was into anime I didn't shy away I just went
>yeah I'm into it, have been for a long time.

But I'm rambling now.

This comment is nonsense, multiple companies do the exact thing you're complaining but you fail to realize WHY they don't want to do what you're suggesting.

I am intrinsically more talented and more capable than the management that hired Tameem for DmC, yes.
>>
>>722184952
That means absolutely nothing nor what we were talking about.
They were able to bring back DMC because the DMC they tried failed so hard. Mega Man has had a lot of different attempts and it never sells well enough nor most of Capcom's forgotten franchises for a reason.
If they made money, they would be making them. But they're a corporation now. It's not the 90's or 2000's anymore. The time of experimentation is over for that company. You need to realize the bigger something gets the more it loses it's identity that you knew before.

>Koei Tecmo

Every video game company had to do mergers in the 2000’s due to low sales…. Because they were supporting PlayStation and not the wildly more successful Nintendo brands.

Uuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhh on what planet? Are legit stupid? of course sales equal success you dumb shit. It's about money.

You have literally no argument other than blind faith in corporations.
>>
>>722185720
Where did you get that from exactly? Because what you're saying vs what has been said is conflicting.
if you don't buy things new, that company loses sales. If you buy it second hand, the company that sold you used makes the sale. If you pirate it, they make no money off of it most of the time because most pirates are pirates because they're broke losers.

Anon, would you consider the ps3 successful?

Well if I wanted to be a smart ass I could say yes since it was highly successful in Japan.
You're not talking your way out of this one kid, you're one dumb mother fucker.

>>722186108
So you're saying it was a general success.

I wonder if they ever considered people would just call them "Bamco"

>>722186234
Just to get this straight, you're saying the ps3 was profitable, yes?
>>
>>722186346
You claimed success does not equal profit like an insane fucking retard when we're talking about business.
You're the one who wanted to bring that up.
You will NOT BE CONVINCING ME OF SHIT WITH YOUR HI[PIE NONSENSE.
Companies strive to make PROFIT.
No profit=failure.
It's sad I have to explain this to you. I think you're legit retarded.
>>
>>722186446
>You claimed success does not equal profit
Sales anon, not profit.
Now answer the question, you think the ps3 that burned 5 billion dollars, never made a profit and completely eliminated the profits made on the ps2, was profitable?
>>
>>722165829
Namco is such a boring company now.
>>
>>722186610
SALES IS PROFIT!
HOLY SHIT YOU'RE DUMB AS HELL.
>>
>>722186663
Yes, which is why a system that sold 80m+ was never profitable.
>>
>>722186663
FYI Nintendo made more money during gen 6 than Sony did on the PlayStation.

>>722185514
The GameCube was far more successful than the PS2.
>>
>>722187228
That's your fault for making it cost $2 though, what does that have to do with what we're talking about?

>>722187429
Sales and profits are the same. Because if you have sold what you offered, it's a success.
Sales does equal profits in video game economy because within the first two months is when the company makes actual profit. 2nd hand gamestores can say they made profit if they took an old game for less and sold it a bit higher.
What you're suggesting is based on potential sales, but what you fail to realize because you never worked in busines nor retail is that things are marked up on purpose.

PS2 outsold Gamecube, this is not up for any debate. This is a well known fact and your age is showing to be rather young. Even Nintendo admitted the Gamecube wasn't selling as well as the Famicom nor the Super Famicom
>>
>>722187628
I enjoyed Pac Man DX, I have it on XBLA, I hope that console never stops working in case i get the urge to play it.
>>
>>722187380
>outsold

It was a DVD player.

GameCube was used by actual gamers and remained relevant up through the Wii era- due to its backwards compatibility.

So gaming companies that backed PlayStation due to (fake) sales numbers quickly saw closures and bankruptcies because no one actually uses that platform.
>>
You are all very silly people. No wonder China is thriving and your empire is collapsing.
>>
>>722187793
You can get DX on steam, or if you're talking about the XBLA one, that's on steam too.
>>
>>722187816
This is a serious question, how old are you? Because I have the weirdest feeling you read some shit and think you know everything vs what actually happened who experienced it.

Then what was the fucking point bringing it up jackass?
>>
>>722187816
The ps3 was backwards compatible with the ps2. So I don't get what's your point? The PS2 sold well because of the success of the PlayStation. The fact that it was a DVD player just helped because now parents had another excuse to purchase it. I don't get where you came up with this idea of "fake sales"?
>>
>>722188273
You're the one who brought it up. >>722185514
>>
>>722188268
That's not even a good example. We don't need that made up fantasy that leans to you making a point, we have actual sales statistics from actual gaming companies to use.
You're just a dumb child who warp things to justify and back your own idea how the world works when that isn't true.
You live in some weird autistic world.

You're not listening.
Video games don't sell at a loss. That's impossible for them these days unless it's physical.
>>
>>722187886
I was there. I played more games on the GameCube than the PS2 owners had even heard of.

>>722188349
The PlayStation 1 was also not that successful. Pokémon alone raped the brand into irrelevancy.
>>
>>722188461
No one said you were, you were the first to mention their hardware in gen 6 though.

You're not good at trolling are you.

The fact that the series still isn't finished after all these years is a clear sign the author is simply stalling and injecting it with as much filler as possible. I mean, Berserk is closer to being finished than One Piss. Anyone who willingly subjects themselves to that dogshit deserves to be mocked relentlessly
>>
>>722188627
I'm not trolling so i'll take it as a compliment.
I said nothing wrong, so the constant replies are you not coping with the fact fandom does not pay a company's bills.
Nintendo has had multuple failures throughout it's video game history.

So you do admit it is possible to sell a product for a loss! Holy fuck man, I taught a retard something.
>>
>>722189092
It's possible, but it'd depend on what is being sold vs what was spent.
Are you slow?
