Best - Square-Enix (yes suck it haterz)
FFXIII, Just Cause 2 -- Among my fav console games and Just Cause 2 totally made up for GTA4 sucking
SO4, Nier -- Two console games I enjoyed very much
KH:BBS, DQIX, TWEWY, FF7:Crisis Core, Dissidia 012 - Fav portable games this gen
FF Tactics A2 - A enjoyable portable game
Chaos Rings - The BEST itouch game I have played
DQV, FFIV - Fav Remakes this gen
So overall no other publisher has given me such breadth of quality this generation with only 2 major disappointments (if only The 3rd Birthday didn't suck.....and of course FFXIV). They have shown such great imporvement from the PS2 generation, I hope it continues!
Worst - Namco-Bandai
Where are your Tales games? They all look so great but where are they? If Atelier stuff can be localized there is no excuse not to localize Tales.
Most Surprising - SONY
They completely got everything together after PS3's sales fall and pumped out quality after quality coming on to even rivaling Nintendo. No-one could have imagined such great titles would be coming out from them.
Most Disappointing - THQ
Not many Tycoon games this gen, why?! (at least not the ones I want)
Most Efficient - Sony
Thanks to 2 year dev cycles they get many titles out in 2 years flat and they are of great quality.
Least Efficient - Square-Enix
FF Versus XIII is a development disaster (like XIV, XIII and XII before it), it will be interesting to see what went wrong in that project (no project takes so long unless its a development disaster).
FF Type-0 has taken 5 years to come out, its a portable game. FF7 Crisis Core took around 3.5 years to make. The 3rd Birthday took 3 years or so. FFXIV and FFXIII were 5 years in the making and the crystal tools engine which ate up most of FFXIII's dev time is now an engine thats already being replaced by luminous...so making that engine was a complete waste of time.
I really don't need to say more to prove how inefficient they are.
