...excluding Bungie, of course!!
Mine is a toss up between Naughty Dog & Bethesda.
Naughty Dog (IMO) has the best track record (Crash Bandicoot, Jak & Daxter, Uncharted, The Last Of Us)... but I've spent well over a thousand hours playing Fallout & The Elder Scrolls.
-
Bethesda and Bungie. Easily these two developers.
-
Rockstar easy
-
Naughty Dog=11% 343i=9% wat is going on
-
One of those developers does not fit. Can you spot which one?

Edited by Tartan 118: 10/26/2013 5:11:35 PMValve, obviously. Other acceptable answers include Irrational, Cyan, Ubisoft and Rockstar. Bethesda too.

-
Bioware by a long shot. Kotor Mass Effect Dragon Age
-
Bungie
-
Valve

Well, I like breaking things down. In terms of impact on the gaming culture, i don't think anyone can beat iD Software. They created the first person shooter with Wolfenstein 3D in '92 and introduced fast paced FPS multiplayer in '94 with Doom II. In terms of creative ability, Naughty Dog is a good choice. like OP said, their game genres range from Crash Bandicoot to The Last Of Us. That is an incredible feat to pull off. Lastly, for sheer sales; Rockstar, hands down. GTA and Red Dead are some of the most popular titles of all time. But my favorite dev? Ubisoft, because they publish their own stuff, and they are smart and listen to their fans. (Tom Clancy's The Division is coming to PC at launch because Ubisoft listened to the people asking them to bring the game for PC. Big props to Ubi.)

Rareware

I find the idea that 343i could be rated higher than Bioware, Blizzard, or Rockstar very odd, they've only made one game, and it was good. Blizzard, Rockstar, and Bioware have made genre defining games that are truly excellent.
-
I would say.. 1. Bungie 2. Nintendo 3. Naughty Dog
-
Bethesda or Dice. For me it is basically Mirrors Edge vs. Fallout
-
Nintendo son

Edited by The Random: 10/25/2013 1:34:00 AMOut of those choices, Naughty Dog is my second favorite because they created one of my all time favorite childhood games, Crash Bandicoot Warped :D Without Bungie being on the list (for obvious reasons) my top favorite has gotta be Bioware, solely because of the Mass Effect Trilogy. Not sure why 343i is on that list. 343i doesn't really deserve a spot on that list with all those other awesome game developers. Not sure why anyone would honestly vote for them either...
-
DICE battlefield ya!
-
>There are people that ACTUALLY voted for 3fail3 OT: Square Enix, they gave me Final Fantasy XII
-
Either Bethesda or Blizzard.
-
From Software because Dark/Demon's Souls
-
On that list, I had to go with Rockstar. No one in the industry can do humor and satire like them and they understand their mistakes and make quality games that never feel too rushed. Though I do enjoy many smaller devs who make less popular (still fun) games and are very vocal in their community.
-
Bethesda (Fallout)
-
Naughty Dog hands down. Literally every game they've released this gen has been gaming gold.
-
Riot Games has pretty damn transparent interactions with their community, and for that I can respect them greatly.
-
Konami. Well, I suppose they're more a publisher, but, whatever, loads of my favourite games were made by them.

Gotta go with game freak cause i have been playing pokemon since i was a kid and i have never been disappointed
