Poll: Who Is Your Favorite Developer?

[Figgis Fiddis]

Oh shit.

Three way tie between Valve, Bethesda and Bioware.

EDIT: FPS to RPG is a spectrum. We have Valve on the FPS extreme, Bioware on the RPG extreme, and Bethesda in the middle with their Fallout, Mass Effect etc.

ANOTHER EDIT: Nintendo is nothing to me now. I remember a time when they actually made games that were good for that very reason: good games sold the most. But now the market's switched with the advent of other forms of gaming, and now Nintendo is stuck trying to please the under 13 crowd. So they do by means of gimmicky controllers, games, and anything else shiny that kids like to buy. Not necessarily good, but SHINY, so the kids love it!

Lack of Rare makes me sad

Valve deserves to be chosen for Steam alone, while their games are also enough to put them in the battle for the top 3. Valve single handedly made me forget about switching to consoles...

 

[RAWKSTAR]

Nintendo, simply because they made the gamecube. My console for many many years.

 

[Mrsoupcup]

I love Bioware and valve, Bioware made my favarite game ever Mass effect and almost every game valve makes is good or perfect, portal, team fortress, half life , left 4 dead bla bla bla

What, no "other" option? I'd say there are a fair few indie supporters here.

Would have chosen Valve, too. But because of this:

And banning people asking too many questions, my vote goes to Bioware. For releasing great RPG games.

And I hope they will make a true Neverwinter Nights sequel instead of Obsidian crap.

Where is Treasure on that list?

 

[stormcaller]

This is BLASPHEMY! Where's Blizzard? Or Nexon?

edit: Nexon's a money grubbing troll of a company, the EA of Asia if I might say so myself. However, I think they're too big to ignore anyway. My vote goes to Blizzard!

Yah, no Blizzard? Star Dock? There is a lot to be desired about that list!

I 3rd the choice of Blizzard

Edit: 4th I mean
2: 5th
3rd: 6th Christ I need to start reading through these.....

For me, it's a tossup between Valve and Bungie. I love Valve's devotion to it's fanbase, and Bungie has always been great about bonus content and the like.

I'm not criticizing your opinion, I'm just curious- In recent years, has Bungie released anything other than the Halo series? I'm asking because I honestly don't know.

Valve is great, and I just love Bethesda's games.

 

[goodman528]

Where's Blizzard? Take Two? Westwood? This poll is fail.

Firaxis, Remedy and Relic are the greated developers ever.

 

[TheGreenManalishi]

Developers, developers, developers, developers.

A while ago I'd have said Nintendo. Too many classics for their own good. Now I'm leaning towards Konami, almost purely for Castlevania and MGS.

 

[ArcadianTrance]

Not too sure...

 

[ksn0va]

I voted valve. They're one of the few developers that haven't disappointed yet, and they respect their origins.

Nothing that I know of off the top of my head, but it's not the variety I admire. If anything, it's that dedication to one game that they know hundreds of thousands play that make me admire them more.

 

[Kyuumi]

Epic, since there games make me want to cry at the details, they made the best games ever.
Gears of War and Unreal Tournament.

 

[Syphonz]

I voted Valve, but only because Capcom isn't there. (megaman, resident evil, devil may cry, street fighter, etc.) I fucking <3 Capcom. regardless that they milk their products, I buy them anyway

 

[Dancingman]

I wish that Obsidian was on the list.

 

[KSarty]

Bioware and Relic are currently at the top of my list. KOTOR, Mass Effect, Homeworld, and Company of Heroes. Whats not to love?
