Good devs make good games. Bad devs make bad games.

Nah. As simple as it sounds, anyone and everyone can make mistakes, including game developers.

I like to judge a dev not in time frames, or their employee roster, but by each game. If a dev made a shitty game 20 times, but finally released 1 good game recently, I say "Good dev". If you're asking for consistency, that's something else.

That still doesn't exclude the possibility that good devs could make or couldn't have made bad games, since a single success elevates them to good devs in your eyes - so I don't think we're disagreeing here.

Anyway, If a dev made 20 bad games and a single good one, I'd still call them a bad dev that finally got something right. Likewise I'd call a dev who made 20 good games and a single bad one a good dev that screwed up once.

EDIT: So yeah, I'm asking for consistency - to an extent. IMO It's still possible for a single game to "make" a developer good if that single success is really that awesome.

lright, calm down buddy. It was just a piss poor example for this thread. You need to come to terms with that.

I stand by what I said.

Feel free, you're entitled to an opinon even if makes most people roll their eyes.

I think SMG2 sucked as well compared to the original. That made TONS of people roll their eyes. and I STILL stand by it.

Good for you. Stick it to the man!

Personally, I didn't care for Mario Galaxy. But I just say it wasn't for me.
