Forums - Gaming Discussion - Bandai Namco is such a very under rated publisher. Not a micro transaction in sight.

It's a valid point, though.

Well, regardless they helped the Witcher 3 release to a wide audience. In my books, helping the Witcher 3 even as the people who clean their toilets is a higher honor than most developers and publishers top staff deserve. 

That actually sounds like something a socialist would say, wanting people who clean bathrooms to get the acknowledgement they deserve.

The tales of series has microtransactions. You can buy all sorts of gold and level boosts or xp boosts.

Unless you mean lootboxes. Then that it doesn't have, no.

Was about to say, cheap though.



They didn't develop most of those games, so why should they even get credit?

I've always liked them. They've developed and published a lot of my favourite games ever, and like you said they generally don't try to take advantage of their customers. They do deserve a lot of credit in that sense.

The Witcher 3 was published by Namco in Europe. WB Games published it in North America

But it's not a Namco IP, nor was it developed by Namco.

The thread defends Namco's merit as a publisher. It's not talking about the original properties that Namco develops. Rather, its talking about the games Namco helps make available to a wider audience as a publisher. What you are right about, is there overall scale of involvement with the Witcher's development. They did not have much of a part to play when it came to creating the game.

What an odd list. They likely had nothing to do with that decision regarding several of those games.



Word of the day people: "Publisher"

Say it with me now....

(that's what the title is referring to)



I will love them if they remaster Tales of Vesperia for PS4/Switch



Microtransactions don't mean much to me as long as it's not randomized and is only aesthetic.

A top shelf publisher, and always present in my library every gen. Buying the Ni No Kuni collector editions next week. I only care about the game, but bought the collectors edition to impress women.
