no I'm pretty sure opinions are a real thing.  I just hate when someone says how a game is the BEST and not simply their favorite.

Well yeah but we have to admit that some of their games could be considered the best games in the planet. At least a little credit they deserve!

Come on PM, we're friends. If you have an issue with me tell me. No need for the passive aggressive thing.

Anyway, doesn't it go without saying that everything I write, that any of us write, is a matter of opinion? It's my conviction that Nintendo has published the best games. Do I really need to preface every comment with "in my opinion" or "I believe"? I think I do a better job than most on that front anyway.

oh I love Nintendo games. ALTTP and SMG2 are two of my favorite games of all time.  Pokemon is the only game that could get me to buy a system and JUST get it for the system (I think I'm going to do that with 3DS next Summer for the first couple months I have it at least lol).  I just don't like that wording.  Just being nit-picky.

very well I shall throw a great feast in honor of our friendship (virtually speaking of course).  Drink and be merry for PS4, new Zelda, 3D Mario, and much more is imminent!

Haha, I'll drink to that!

Though I won't be joining the WiiU party until next year (Summer at the earliest but most likely Black Friday) I'd be happy to friend you so we can superbly smash each other

For publishers, XSeed, Nintendo, Marvelous, those are probably the top three these days. Enjoy Up Games is pretty good in the more indie sphere.

Least favorite publishers is pretty easy, EA and Activision topping the list. Sega also, is very up and down in what the publish, there being a few solid games they published but didn't put their full promoting weight behind, for example. I suppose Square-Enix belongs up there too, or any of those companies that are just a shell of their former selves. Microsoft is kind of cheating, because I've just not really enjoyed much of anything they've ever published, outside of Age of Mythology on PC. But yeah.

Worst = EA for their lack honesty

Best = Nintendo for their wonderful line of franchises

most loved = Konami, Sony and Square. I like them because of their track record and the fact that they have put out some of my favorite games for decades.

most disliked = EA and Activision. I feel that the annualization and rushing of games hugely discourages the output and risk / reward for development of new IP. I prefer companies that make their money with efforts towards quality BEFORE quantity. Nothing wrong with quantity but it should be second.
