They're probably thinking only of the Koizumi team.

Eco Shooter Plant 530 was pretty bad.

pip pip cheerio you slags!
Not familiar with it, but being that i'm familiar with Halo, I can say ODST and a close second Reach sucked hard.
LOL. Go look up Way of the Warrior.
jak ii is history's greatest monster
Too bad Dark Alliance 2 is there; otherwise they would have about the best track record of any studio in history.
Which Rockstar though?

Rocksteady has a pretty solid, if a bit small portfolio. (Urban Chaos - PS2/Xbox, Batman: Arkham Asylum 360/PS3/PC, Batman: Arkham City 360/PS3/PC)
Otherwise, I'll echo Platinum. Even their weakest title (Anarchy Reigns) is still a pretty great game in it's own right.

Of the Bungie games I've played I pick Oni and Marathon. Mind, they've really only made one good game in my eyes. The rest I played because of that game.

Sucker Punch- Rocket Robot, Sly 1-3, Infamous 1-3
also Firaxis
edit: oh, beaten
Railroads is definitely the odd one out there, but even that was okay.
I don't know about those mobile games though. Are those any good?

Sucker Punch
Edit: Beaten
Hmmm Media Molecules?

Insomniac was always the first developer that came to mind.
Rare has also been pretty awesome.
Yeah, but then they went and made Fuse.
Even 67% is too generous for that game.

Come off it.
Nobody is saying IS don't have an insanely excellent track record (shit, they made Wario Ware series, Advanced Wars series, Paper Mario series, Metroid, Pushmo...), but they had a couple of missteps so they sadly don't fit that thread.
Quite possibly one of the worst PSP games I've played.
I wish I had a psp capable of playing ps2 games. Besides which I thought this was a content heavy, enjoyable game. Any of the disputes about ND should really only concern with their 3DO era.
I loved the Dark Alliance games, never understand the shit people give them.
At least this wasn't the first post or reply. We can argue about each of their games from Crash onwards, but a lot of their pre-Sony history really was trash by all accounts.
Valve is probably one of the best examples, usually at worst it's just not your thing. Similar for Blizzard, at worst they seem to be like post-Sony Naughty Dog in that sometimes what they make is really, REALLY divisive.
Nope, they made Jak II.
Storm Chamber

Doesn't exist.
Joke post?
C'mon, Media Molecules game are boring as hell
I don't know, that Fuse.
Dark Alliance 1 was great, DA2 was just okay. I'm not saying it's bad--I do think Black Isle is a good example for this thread--but it's not the classic that the other ones are.

Boring or not they are not bad games.
Ah, yes, I find myself coming back to hang my head in shame at Ninja Gaiden 3 quite frequently.

GTAOnline
But this pointless griping about developers. Some of these "bad games" aren't actually bad. I'm sure GTAOnline will be a completely different experience in a few years and they'll relax pushing the cash shop on their players.

I never actually played that one, though heard decent things about it. As in, not a bad game, but by no means in the same league as their others.
Oh, yes, I'm seconding this. Shame since I was excited for it, but I was in a (stronger) anime phase then, and anyways that game had some really, really repetitive levels as I recall. Only rented the PS2 game and that was that.
. . . Funny how synonymous Bungie became with Microsoft for awhile yet their first game that generation was a PS2/PC title, their first console game period unless I'm forgetting a Myth port or something.
I kind of feel like Rockstar makes crappy games that are enjoyable in spite of themselves. Probably for what they attempted, and when that wasn't as novel they actually refined it reasonably well.

OP, have you played Marathon?
Not sure if I would consider it a good game really in comparison to realses around its time.

Stop being wrong about video games
Also I was gonna say bungie , thanks Op for ruining that.
... Platinum? Even when they were clover
Yeah, but you can probably find a few shitty games in their catalogue from the 80s, before they moved to consoles.
I enjoyed Durandal, and it seemed to me it did something notable enough for its time period.
But still, Oni. That's enough of a black mark really.
Jak II, Uncharted 3. And there also was the horribly broken Jak X. The game had a serious memory card access bug, which made it impossible to play on certain PS2 models. It was never fixed. It corrupted memory cards.
Maybe because of GTA IV?
Nintendo EAD 1, 3, 4, 5?
Funny.
