Forums - Gaming - Naughty Dog: Best Western Developer? (100th thread!)

This should be moved to the Gaming Discussion board and titled "Your Favorite Western Developer", since nobody seems to be talking about Naughty Dog here.


A thread like that would be too generic.

As opposed to "Naughty Dog/Uncharted appreciation thread number umpteen"?

Besides, my post wasn't actually a serious suggestion, but more of an indirect way of saying "You're missing the point of this thread. Read the OP, jerk-bags." to the people who posted in this thread.

Yeah, it might've been a bit ambiguous.

Definitely one of the best. All their games just seem to get better and better and unlike many companies they bring out the best in a console. Uncharted is amazing and the last of us looks just as good, if not better!



BioWare lost that title when they released Mass Effect 2 and Dragon Age 2.

Blizzard are in the lead now.



                            

They're up there, but imo Blizzard is #1 by quite a margin.



 

At this point I'd give the title to Valve, even if I'm not personally a fan of their games.

They have delivered quality products one after another. Starcraft II was a major disappointment, and World of Warcraft seems to have made Blizzard lose their soul.

Eh, how can anyone mention Bioware after all of their duds in recent years? Dragon Age 2, Sonic Chronicles, some bad DLC, "mass-marketing" Mass Effect (and dragon age).

Sure, they make the occasional great game but they have lost their touch. Valve, Blizzard, Naughty Dog would be my picks.

I don't understand why you don't like bioware because they made mass effect 2 a more mass market game and yet enjoy naughty dog games, which are the very definition of mass market games....

Anyway for me it would be

1. Blizzard by a huge margin

2. Valve

3. Retro Studios because I really really like the metroid prime series.



I dont know how people can say Bioware or even Bethesda. Nothing but bug riddled games with horrible post-launch support and only a desire to sell you DLC at ridiculous prices.

its either Valve or Blizzard. Leaning towards Valve more since I don't think they have even made a bad game.



I deffo dont think its blizzard. Games getting delayed and crappy WOW does not equal best devs to me.


Blizzard: Crappy WOW and Diablo 3 aint coming till 2020. Starcraft 2 was a disappointment in my opinion. and they created the horrible superman game.

Valve: Have not done anything of note since half life two. Yh L4D is allright but not enough to make it the best devs around.

In my opinion all these devs being mentioned in this thread are mediocre to the core. They bring out one half decent game and the rest are dudz. and thats being nice.

Bioware: Dragan age series is crap. Mass Effect series is Crap. stars wars game they made was good for its time.

Bethesda: Everything they touch turns to crap. I kind think of one game they have made this gen which i actually like.

Naughty Dog are the only consistently good devs mentioned in this thread. With that being said i thought bethesda is a publishing company? I never knew they were actual devs.



Nobody's perfect. I aint nobody!!!

Killzone 2. its not a fps. it a FIRST PERSON WAR SIMULATOR!!!! ..The true PLAYSTATION 3 launch date and market dominations is SEP 1st

Best benchmark developer

Valve games since HL2: HL2 Episode 1, Episode 2, Portal 1, Portal 2, L4D, L4D2, Team Fortress 2. All of those games ar at least good, most are great.


Episode one and two are just adding on to an axisiting game. the is no big improvement over the other. I dont like the portal franchise. which leaves L4D which is just ok in my opinion and team fortress. and i didnt like the look of it to be honest. but i have never played it so 

Valve are alright, but they are far from being the best. but hey, everyone to their own i guess.
