Sega seriously wants your opinion. They should've known better...

[Viewpoint]

Not sure if this was posted here but I suspect that several sites have been doing it also along with a few I haunt...

I took the Survey but I was pretty mean about some of my replies. I'm glad they're willing to listen but they're trying to suck your dick at maybe going mobile. It's like they're asking me if I want them to cash out of console gaming.

If they go mobile, they're dead to me.

WTF is with all these Japanese companies going mobile? I get that from a purely cost stand point it makes sense, but they could also maybe I dunno make better games, I'd be surprised if they've broken even on all those shitty Sonic games from the past deacade or so

Because most of Japan's game sales are mobile. They live on their phones over there. They're following the market, not creating it.

Because they are broke, and their innovation and technology have fallen behind. Way behind.
See: every Japanese company.

Yeah, I know, it just bums me out to see these people who used to create great games moving to a platform I can't stand, it feels like an ugly break up or something

just took the survey. and judging by the questions, it does look like sega want's to go mobile. a yakuza or shenmue themed puzzle game any one?.

i really don't give a shit to be honest. for me, sega died with the dreamcast. the best thing to have come out of them since then was the yakuza series, and we have like five of those already. so they could pull the plugs on the console market and go all konami if they want for all i care.

 

[Ralfakick]

I did the survey, I even dare them to contact me through email, I'd love to complain about how much they've gone completely to sh#%t

One of the most creative, original, game companies ever reduced to mobile games, and farming out Sonic to make a crap WiiU game

RIP Good Sega 1940-2003 I truly did love ya

This was definitely a play to justify going mobile. Looking for any justification from people to do it. As someone that is familiar with survey writing, this one stunk from the first question. Poorly written, leading... the damn thing drove me nuts!!

 

[Liquid Snake]

RIP

 

[greedostick]

I did that the other day, and just marked shit I like, and nothing mobile.

 

[Renmauzo]

*sigh* What an awful survey. Good to know they at least remember some of the names of their great franchises, disheartening to know they do and do nothing with them.
Honestly, even if they go mobile, nothing much will change; I'll go from buying two Sega games every few years (Yakuza and Valkyria Chronicles) to 0. Not really a big difference ultimately.

 

[Liquid Snake]

Im still waiting for golden axe: revenge of death adder & virtua cop 3 port............

 

[greedostick]

I'm waiting for Landstalker 3DS remake, and all the shining games from genny, sega cd, and saturn to be remade.

Doesn't Yu Suzuki fully own Shenmue now?

 

[Ip Man]

not shore mate. the last time i checked, it was still owned by sega. but you might be right considering the whole shenmue 3 and yu sazuki developing the game by the funding gathered from kickstarter .

 

[bloodycelt]

Sega licensed shenmue to Ys.Net Yu's company.

 

[HeavyMachineGoob]

House of the Dead is listed twice...

 

[k'_127]

They didn't even mention Shining Force in the survey.

 

[HeavyMachineGoob]

Or Burning Rangers.

In the box to describe Sega with three adjectives, I put down "operated by monkeys".

That was quite satisfying to be honest with Sega, but they'll probably throw my entry in the trash.

 

[norton9478]

House of the Dead is listed twice...

One for the original series, another for a series based off the movies.

 

[Burning Fight!!]

as long as they keep making tons of yakuza games and spinoffs I do not care... what do they produce (not publish) that's worthwhile nowadays anyway?

 

[Hikaru Ichijyo]

Odd. I tried putting in my age, clicked next and got an error screen. Now it's telling me I've already taken this quiz.

 

[kitkit.com]

Did the survey and voiced out my dislike for mobile games. I even put down my contact information as I live in San Francisco, where the Sega HQ is.

It was their polite way of saying that your too old for their target market . Millennials on ipads is what they're after nowadays.
