Favorite Video Game Company/Developer/Publisher
Do you have a favorite developer or company for a group of video games?
For me, I'm personally a huge fan of Bethesda and their works; their newest game, a horror game called The Evil Within, looks really promising and I like seeing them stretching out into a genre of gaming that they haven't really dabbled in before. Spoiler:
|
When it comes to favorite video game developers or companies, these are some of my favorites:
BioWare TT Games Ubisoft Square Enix Bethesda 2K Games Lucasarts (defunct) Konami |
There is only one company/developer that takes my #1 spot, and that company is now dead. It is Westwood, and it was responsible for the greatest RTSs of all time, untill EA pulled the plug and took over. Shamefully in their period EA also pushed them to release their games earlier but still they created some nice RTSs like Tiberian Sun and Red Alert 2.
Honorable mentions go to Blizzard, Totem Arts, Microsoft Games and Gearbox. |
We already had this, didn't we?
Well... what could it be...? Hm... surprisingly... it's Atlus =D Because they made Persona and all other SMTs. |
I like DICE, the Battlefield series is simply amazing. Honourable mentions to Respawn Entertainment, made up of ex-Infinity Ward members. For independence, they did one hell of a job.

Hmm..
No I don't Really Have a favorite, Some I like more then Others but it's not that: OHH ITS FROM GAME FREAK SO I NEED TO BUY THAT. |
Ubisoft Montreal, Bioware, Naughty Dog, Rockstar, Bethesda, Obsidian, Telltale Games, Quantic Dream, Square Enix, Rocksteady, CD Projeckt Red and Kojima Productions are all amazing studios that continue to deliver quality games.
EDIT: F*ck me I totally forgot about Valve |
The idea of having a favorite developer seems pretty silly to me.
I like to not have very high expectations, so I'd rather not have a favorite developer. Hell I don't even know who'd I'd call my favorite, since video game developers tend to be very inconsistent. |

It seems like every time I get into a game series, the developers come out with, "Let's take this in a new direction to get x fanbase interested." RIP Capcom. But seriously, I don't think there's a handful of games from any one company that I really loved. There's a few that are close to my heart, but just because I loved Eternal Darkness doesn't mean I care what else Silicon Knights put out while they were around. |
Egosoft GmbH., German developer of the X series. They take a lot of time following each release to improve their games, and continue to support every X title. They even add content during this process, up to years after release. Seriously, who else does free content updates for singleplayer games? I guess it's because they're a small company; they can often work closely with the modding community.

Square Enix will always my favourite company because they developed my favourite series of all-time, Final Fantasy! Not to mention they are also responsible for Kingdom Hearts, which is another series I enjoy. They might not have their crap together for Final Fantasy XV, but I still respect the company and look forward to their games.
|
Definitely Nintendo; been playing their games ever since I was a kid. Legend of Zelda, Mario, Metroid, F-Zero, Star Fox, and ton of my other favorite series come from them. :] Alongside, I also like Capcom, Ubisoft, Rockstar, and Bioware.

Nintendo, Square Enix, and Sega are some of my favorites. But honestly I have a favorite, because of, as spinosaurus pointed out, inconsistency.

Having a favorite developer sometimes makes you buy a game you consider but cannot decide whether to buy it or not. |
Valve because... I mean come on, it's Valve.
But a close runners up would be Bungie. Mainly cause their staff and creations. |

Also that is silly as hell. High expectations get you nowhere in the video game industry. I'm not gonna buy a game simply because my "favorite" developer is on the boxart. |
Square enix/soft, Ubisoft, Nintendo, Activision.

I meant it may HELP you buy a game you consider. |
Valve, by far.
I pray to our lord and savior gaben. Making sure TF2 was worth the weight. |
Square Enix/Soft - Lots of classic memorable JRPGS
Level-5 - DARK CLOUD! CyberConnect2 - .//hack series Naughty Dogs - TLoU, Crash, Jax & Daxter, Uncharted |
Crowbar Collective right now, followed by Valve closely.
While one is rather new to the battlefield, there one remake of one of the most famous games of all time was so good that it got them the the newest Source engine available, and the go to for selling the game on Steam. Valve because they've never made a bad game. Ever. They made my favorite game universe, Half-Life, and are one of the most awesome studios for how active they can be in the community. |

Dark Cloud Dark Cloud 2 Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King Rogue Galaxy PSP: Jeanne d'Arc DS: Layton Series Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies Ni no Kuni, was one of the favorite games on the ps3. Hopefully Level-5 can deliver some good rpgs on the ps4 (Dark Cloud 3 *wishes*). Naughty Dogs is one of my favorite western developers. TLoU really cemented them as one of the best developers in the West. I can't wait for TLoU Remaster on PS4 and Uncharted for PS4. They were able to push ps3 capabilities with TLoU, I have no doubts TLoU Remaster on PS4 will be graphically amazing. |
Level 5 also made Yokai Watch game xD
Btw... it's Naughty Dog, not Dogs. |

I also, in agreement with you, think devs tend to be hit or miss. Like, id Software had a lot of good games in the 90s, but now they aren't very relevant. However, I still think the question is valid because it's like asking who your favorite author/director is. I tend to like Christopher Nolan's films, for example, and I absolutely detest Michael Bay. When it comes to devs, though, they're a group of people and so the quality (or lack thereof) seems to be less consistent, as you pointed out. Finally, sometimes a game is developed by "Nintendo" but Nintendo has different studios within. The studio that develops Star Fox isn't the same one that develops Fire Emblem. Shigeru Miyamoto created Mario (I think) but I don't think he's involved in his games anymore. |
My favorite developers have to be Game Freak, Naughty Dog and Mojang. So brilliant.....
