Yoko Taro has the most based taste btw
>>724934071>>Yoshitaka Amano - Final Fantasy VI>>Nobuo Uematsu - Final Fantasy VI>not even game devs>lists a game they worked onfucking hate these two boomers
>>724934071>>Neil Druckmann: Fatal Frame 2Based Druckie.
>>724934071>Flashbackliterally who boomers.
>>724934071the only actual gamers here are Meier, Taro, Kamiya, Spector, and Howard. The rest are normie larpers who only played games as kids I can tell.
Ueda-san...you have my axe
>>724934356I kneel
>>724934071>>Neil DruckmannHe has surprisingly good taste. Hopefully he actually played those and he's not just a poser.
>>724934071>ICO mentioned 4 timesI did not expect that
>>724934071>Yoko TaroPost 1cc or it never happened, old man.
>>724934071Not gonna lie they all have good taste
>>724934071>Sakaguchi>Ogre Battle/Tactics OgreUnfathomably sublime taste>Uematsu/Amano>FFVIAlso great, slight penalty to there being only one sole favorite game that they had a hand in, but I can understand liking your magnum opus.>Cliff Bleszinski is the only one who has Super Metroid on his listDisappointed, but not surprised due to Japan not caring about Metroid.
>>724934071Bunch of grandpa's idolising crusty games they played as a 10 year old. I still think we are in for a gaming golden age when Millenial indies take over, they got a bad reputation because they entered the workforce in the woke anti meritocratic corporate era but their taste is better.
>Micheal Jordan: Persona 4, Final Fantasy 8, Seiken Densetsu 3 (SNES)HOLY BASED
>>724934071Chat is this real?
>>724936623Grok is this chat?
>>724934076fpbp, his games are ass but good taste either way
>>724934071>The worst developers have best taste>The god-tier developers have extremely basic tasteHow?
>>724934071>Neil Druckmann: Fatal Frame 2, Silent Hill 2, Monkey Island 2, Metal Gear Solid 2, ICO, Super Mario 64, Shadow of the ColossusBet he never played any of those
>>724937664Mario 64 is very very good. You should play it 100%.
>Peter Molyneux: Half Life 2, ICO, Twilight Princess, World of WarcraftThis is interesting. Considering his work i would expect some type of management sim or god game. I guess his taste changed a lot over time.
>>724937664having Doom, SM64, OoT/LttP as your favourites isn't "basic". it's just a list of really good games.when you get a bit older, you will realise you are not more interesting just because your favourites are games most people haven't played
>>724934076>yoshitaka amano>lord gaben>game developers
>>724934071Carmack and Romero listing their own gamesI love old id but how far up your own ass do you have to be?
>>724938418In Carmack's case their games might be the only ones he played since he only wants to autistically code software.
>>724934071>Lord Gaben: Super Mario 64, DoomThis makes so much sense considering the games Valve makes.Truly based
>>724934071All have good taste.
>>724938418>>724938619Considering how much Romero played Doom after he made it I think he also gets a pass
>>724934071Miyamoto does not even play video games. Based on his experience playing Mario Maker on Game Center CX, he is horrible at Mario games and that was a decade ago.
>>724934961ICO is a game auteur's game. The kind of game that especially resonates with people involved in making games.
>>724934071>>Neil Cuckmann>Legendary Game Developer>between actual Legendary developersI would believe Cuckmann himself did this list just to sneak his name under big names hoping to go unnoticed just to feed his already tattered ego
>>724938676Kojima admits to playing 1 game a year at best. Maybe you don't have to play that many games to be a good game designer, specially if you are making something that's broad in appeal.
>>724938362Gaben is programmer so he's valid, while amano just the character and title artist and not really can be described as devs
There's no way link to the past is that good
>>724943625It's notThe Mysterious Murasame Castle is the best Zeldavania
>>724934071How many of these are actually real and not just made up?
>>724944194The ones I personally know are true are:>Shiggy loves Pac-Man>Gaben loves Mario 64>Yoko Taro loves Ikaruga>Kojima was inspired by Portopia>Kamiya famously loves Space Harrier>Romero was obsessed with Doom deathmatches
>>724938362Gabe was both a programmer and designer for Half-Life
