Level 5 also gets my vote.

And they say Japanese studios are five years behind the west...

I agree with Platinum Games, not a fan of their games but they have scored pretty highly. Also consider that they are not one of the biggest developers and have developed 4 games within 2 years, that is pretty unlazy if i may so so myself. Then there is also Anarchy Reigns later this year.

Naughty dog released only 2 games this gen...

They weren't exactly half assed games were they?

No, but they were both single player focused and linear.

Naughty Dog is able to put out very high quality games at a decent rate. I'd rather have one excellent game per two years than one mediocre game per year.

Still doesn't make them half assed.

there are many games that fit the bill of SP and linear and are half assed. but I put it to you that the MP of Uncharted 2 is anything but half assed.

Uncharted is my favourite franchise this gen by far. But I gotta be honest, it didnt take much effort into making the games (given the money and time span)

Now you wanna talk about non-lazy developers (im not saying ND is lazy, not een in the slightest), learn about Bethesda. Fallout 3 and OBLIVION were both MASSIVLY HUUUUGE games and were developed in short lifespan. They were also GOTYs

They were also glitchy as hell.

OT: SuckerPunch with the UGC is pretty high imo

When they stop releasing buggy games, then we'll talk.

In my opinion, Just Cause 2 is at least 3 times bigger than Fallout 3 but I don't remember encountering any bugs in that one.

Bethesda releases a buggy game (fallout 3) then sit back until people start complaining. You'd think they'd learn but with subsquent ps3 DLCs, some were even unplayable because of the most ridiculous bugs known.
