Games you respect Developers for

[omle]

Lionhead: For attempts at innovation

Valve: Awesomeness

 

[Mr. Fister]

Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Thank you for all the nerdgasms, Nintendo.

No More Heroes made me respect Suda51 and his developing team. He was arguably the first third-party developer who knew how to make an outstanding Wii game.

 

[Daedalus1942]

Day:1:Studios for a little known ps3 game called Fracture.
The amount of hours or programming it would have taken to allow players to terraform absolutely any piece of the map with either a hill or a ditch, would be insane.
It flopped, but i personally didn't mind the game.
Hats off to them.

Killer7 didn't make you respect Suda51? *jawdrops and i roll on the ground having a seizure*

 

[Daedalus1942]

Peter Molyneux may be joked about now, but he's the same person who made the Dungeon Keeper series. Dungeon feaking Keeper.

And Populous.

Never played it.

I wonder what you'll do now?

Also Bioware for everything they have ever made, because they are Bioware.

You, sir, took the words from my mouth.

Also, Obsidian Entertainment for being a mini-Bioware and not shying away from that fact.

And Theme Hospital.

"Hospital Administrator is cheat-ing!"

 

[Kellerb]

left for dead 2 actually. way to make the boycotters realise their acting like stuck up 10 year olds!

 

[Garla Mapit]

Interplay/Blackisle for Fallout & Fallout 2. Far superior to what Bethesda did to the series.

 

[pumpkinlad]

other than respecting valve for basically everything, I also respect the company who made Metal Slug, those games were amazing.

 

[DrDeath3191]

High Voltage Software for The Conduit and the upcoming The Grinder.

 

[Carnagath]

Lucas Arts for the best adventure games ever made.
Black Isle for Fallout 1-2.
Bullfrog for Dungeon Keeper and Theme Hospital.
Relic for Homeworld and Dawn Of War 1.
Looking Glass for the Thief series.
Atlus for the Shin Megami Tensei games.
Bioware for the Baldur's Gate series, Neverwinter Nights and Kotor.
Access for the coolest private dick this side of Philip Marlowe.
Valve for Portal.
Blizzard for everything they have ever released.
Bethesda for everything they have ever released.

Valve-Team Fortress 2
Anet- Guild Wars
Nintendo-Legend of Zelda, Mario

[TelHybrid]

Any developer who can try something relatively new. Not the overdone genres such as overly Americanized shooters, a lot of which with overly grey/green/brown environments, or mini game compilations (which can be run on a flash engine to be fair).

 

[mobsterlobster]

Rockstar for the GTA series. They get so much hassle from the media because of parents terrified of their children becoming prostitute murdering druggies. Yet they persevere.

Because they still make millions from it.

Okay I changed my mind. Loads of people say Valve, but you can't fault them, so whatever, I'm going with Valve. They put so much effort into making their games the best they can be. All developers should do that.

 

[TheNumber1Zero]

double fine for the masterpeice known as psychonauts.

Same here man, same here.

 

[Ace of Spades]

BioWare for Knights of the Old Republic.
