If you could take over a game company...

The worst bit was when I was singing "Shoulder to the Plow" and in the cowbell section I improved a stirring gothic poem about the plight of medieval peasants in time to my bells and in my most metal voice and I got NO EXTRA POINTS.

I agree with the venues/clothes/band members. It all pretty much the same stuff, not nearly enough variety.
That's what I like about Beatles Rock Band, it starts out with quite normal venues and then suddenely you in fantasy wonderlands as the music starts going there. Good times.

I'd take over:


NINTENDO:

-Force them to focus on the hardcore gaming market again, and SHEERLY on the hardcore gaming market.
-Force them to make a new console which has the graphic and memory capabilities of the other current generation consoles...or better, considering the amount of money they have
-Make them ditch all this motion sensitivity crap

SQUEENIX:

-Stop making Final Fantasy games. Forever.
-Make them stop hunting down everyone who makes a Chrono Trigger hack.
-Make a half decent RPG game

HARMONIX/ACTIVISION:

-Never make another Guitar Hero/Rock Band game again. Only DLC, and that DLC will never contain a radio friendly song, ever again.
-LICENSE. LED. ZEPPELIN.
-Hire people who actually know music to make their setlists

SEGA:

-Kill Sonic the Hedgehog off. Start multiple new franchises which are actually decent.
-Never associate with 4kids ever again.

What's the point of licensing them if you are not going to use them? Do you just want to fund their retirement?

I want them to use them. That's why.

Licensing = getting the song to be used for your game.

Capcom. We will start making more Breath of Fire games, look for interesting Franchises to Continue Capcom VS. whatever, Return Resident Evil to a "HOLY FUCK IM SCARED AND HAVE 4 SHOTS LEFT" franchise, keep DMC going, and officially retcon 2 out of existence. Oh, and keep up the good work with megaman. Im not messing with that cash cow.

[ZAKtheGeek]

Can I just have the richest one and cash out?

Alternatively maybe I could just find out the Zelda timeline.

But that defies the rule of "No radio-friendly bands". My point was the rules were non-consistent, that is why I quoted two of them/

Considering the first place I heard that song was on the radio I don't see your point.
On an old man, classic hits station too.


On topic: Rockstar. Take the GTA games and make one with an actual believable character for once unlike the ridiculous things we have been subjected too who take me completely out of it.
Also I want to put in options where you don't have to solve all problems with huge amounts of violence. Like you can just diplomatise your way through the game and like bribe the cops and things without killing them.
Blackjacks would be crucial too for when talking can't get you out but you don't want the murder.
GTA 4 was very close with its friends system but I would take that system and allow you to use it as contacts- you can get information on your rivals for blackmail and inside info and can use them to work deals. Instead in GTA 4 it was mostly pointless and still all about murder.
