Say, Nintendo is fairly cool company, but they have pulled some really bad moves like recycling their game material more than ecologists find comfortable, and EA has done the opposite, greedy company that's done little good moves, but once in a blue moon they get their shit together. I want you guys to tell something GOOD a company you find is lame has done OR something LAME you think a good company has done. For example, recently DICE allowed a setting that makes Battlefield 3 look prettier. Nintendo released New Super Mario Bros. 2, which... just adds tanooki suit.
I love bethesda's games, and always clock in a ton of hours on them, but there are just so many glaring bugs and flaws in all the games I've played by them, it's amazing they made it past bugtesters. They're a huge company too, so you'd think they could hire a decent bugtesting team. But somehow, despite all that, they've released some of the best games I've ever played.
Ubisoft makes many games that I enjoy greatly, but they make very odd decisions involving DRM.
mostly every game company recycles things. hell valve has used the same crates for nearly 8 years with slightly updated textures for l4d2 [t]http://cdn-www.cracked.com/articleimages/wong/hl2crate.jpg[/t]

Still pissed that I can't get any higher in the mage's guild because I didn't get the damn ring(?) from the guy in the well within 3 days of activating the quest (otherwise the guy disappears.)
Nintendo is being a little too safe with Mario recently. The last Mario game I actually wanted was Bowser's Inside Story. Instead of pumping out something cool we're getting another New Super Mario Bros, none of which we're all that exciting or had any sort of replay value. Maybe the first one on the DS did, but only because it was a fresh start for classic Mario gameplay. But now it's just stale. I sold the Wii one after playing through it once and I'm not even bothering with the 3DS one OR the one coming out for the Wii U.
I don't like how Valve has made Steam revolve around TF2 and its hat-collecting item-grabbing glory.
Valve uses stock sounds for Half Life 2, I mean seriously, even plenty of mods have their own sounds.
