I actually quite like Sega as a developer. What qualifies them for your shitlist, Shinobi?

The raping of my childhood gaming icon and their very own mascot (Sonic) plays a big part. That and their horrible habit of rushing games out into the market for the sake of making money rather than taking time to complete the game fully. The death of the Dreamcast was the death of Sega's glory days. Only two games continued to be good after that, Jet Set Radio Future and the Virtua Fighter series.

Being a semi Xeno fan, I'll say that Episode 1 of Xenosaga was good. The only reason people bitched and moaned about that one was because of the cutscene length. Episode 2 is what really killed the series. The reason being that was the point in time in which important staff members (the EX-Square employees who were responsible for Xenogears) began to be removed from the project; so they cut the production of Ep IV, V and VI while having to alter the production of II and III considering the shrink in staff. So, needless to say, Episode 2 is what really gave the series the horrible name it has. Episode 3 claimed to slightly restore the series, but with all the shit that happened with Episode 2, no one (including myself) really cared about what Episode 3 had to offer.

I would just like to throw in here that Europe got XS2 despite not ever getting XS1 or XS3. The game got completely ignored, but at least we got the preorder DVD as standard. And I watched all of it, all 5 goddamn hours.

Did you play Viking: Battle for Asgard?

What about the Shenmue series?

These are some of my favourite games.

Shenmue was awesome. However, that was during the Dreamcast era, when Sega was still releasing decent titles.

As for Viking, I didn't fancy it much. My complaint towards Sega goes toward it's JPN division more so than it's US one. Condemned 1 and 2 weren't bad.
 
I doubt anyone has said it but...
Black Isle.
Fallout / Fallout 2. Srsly.

Given thats all they did//they're non existant now... xD
They still deserve that I'd say.
