I don't like Squeenix. In Tomb Raider they snuck in an XP system, totally not cool.

Not convinced yet. Out of the ones I played Human Revolution was only a shade of the original DX, Tomb Raider is now a fairly conventional action game and Hitman was a total flop. It shouldn't have been released in that state.

I was just about to make this thread, thanks for saving me the trouble haha.

And yes, SE are building up quite the track record. Perhaps they should stick to publishing.

Deus Ex was ok. Disliked the view and think it would of been better in Third person than 1st. FF has left a bad taste in my mouth so probably not buy a JRPG by them again.... EVER!!!! Ok ok maybe Final Fantasy Tactics A3. Anything else is a "NO"

You know the one thing that they all have in common? They were all originally Eidos games. That's the only reason SE has put out good games recently, because they bought Eidos.

Well, at least they aren't destroying Eidos just to make a quick buck.

Unlike some other publishers I could mention.

Why is that hard to understand? The game was super hyped, won Best of E3 awards and was released to mixed reviews. I thought it was pretty terrible for a Hitman game and only competent by itself.

There is literally no point to do so. It looks fine for what it is. It's not as jarring as FF7.

SE is a great publisher, I won't deny that. But for developing games, they should just forget about FF and almost all their JRPGs. Those games have been terrible this gen.

They have been doing better, especially on the front of rock solid PC ports, but out of those games I thought Deus Ex and Tomb Raider were very good but Sleeping Dogs was only decent and Hitman was awful. 

I am interested to see what they do with the new Thief.

lol oh Indz, don;t waste your time friend , asking opinions about Japanese Dev's on a western video gaming website, not fair man, after all they produced one of the world's most  overrated crap like Justin Creeper, Halo, and CoD lol sorry i know you enjoy some of these games, but what can i say now mediocre games getting the highest scores, creative and talented Dev's getting bashed by newcomers, and unskilled western critics who only plays the Xbox 180 lol and knows nothing about art/graphic and sound design, they played some few old 4th and 5th Gen games and they call themselves hardcore gamers , though they got some amazing writing skills i gotta give em that, actually that's all they got, beeing a good writeer doesn't make you a skilled and experienced gamer lol

I hope SE give those crappy gamers the finger and stop localizing their JRPG's for good, because you know westerns, they hate Japanese, call them freaks and gays, and they also got Skyrim lol once a bully always a bully , ok i'll let myself out

now i'm gonna wait for those bullies to bash my reply and have my own fun teasing the crap out of em haha ok bye:P

They're pretty cool as publishers and seem to let devs (for the most part) do what they want. There development cycles leave a lot to be desired and between the total flop that was FFXIV, reusing the White Engine to turn FFXIII into a trilogy,dancing around with the Kingdom Hearts franchise and by effect putting Versus XIII on hold for years they've left a lot to be desired for their core RPG fanbase.

But yes, all things considered I've quite enjoyed them as publishers.

Most of these are from Eidos, right?

Why did Eidos fail? They had a lot of good franchises and games. I totally skipped over Eidos going down.

Eidos never went down.

Square bought them, thats all.
