what is your favorite company ? trustworthy, quality, communication, releases or just the one you love the most ! !
just to see, how is funcom doing in the eyes of players, some may like funcom to SoE
Comments
Funcom and SOE are great! They treat their players with so much respect and they put out completed and polished games...
If only I had thought of developing half-completed games and selling them for full retail, and then using the subscription money to finish them... What a GREAT idea.
SOE has been doing that for 5 years with SWG. 5 years of paid beta! They have to laugh themselves to sleep every night, i would be.
Tecmo Bowl.
Out of those choices I'd say Blizzard, but my favorite (in a little kid sort of way) would be Day 1 Studios, otherwise Valve and I'm looking forward to what Colony Studios does.
My favorite former developer would be West Wood, I just loved Nox.
personaly it's NCsoft, they have great games, sure it's korean style, but ncsoft seems to be more oriented to euro/usa game style for their up coming game.
Aion is going to kick some ass
blade&soul
kinda forgot to say for mmorpgs ^^, not fps and rts
I personally love and hate blizzard for just about the same reason. There policy of it is finished when it's finished guarantee a very detailed and polished game when it come out. The only problem is that they usually takes forever from the time of announcement to the actual release and if they game don't live up to standard, they might just scrap it all together. RIP Starcraft Ghost...
Ccp, by far. Mostly because of their sense of humour and interaction with the player base, something that i have never seen from any other company out there.
For MMOs I'm going to say ncSoft. Even though they didn't make CoX they did a great job running it and now, adding to it.
For RPGs I would say BioWare.
Aventurine, never released a game that's disappointed.
I'm going have to give it to CCP despite it all, maybe for me my favorite expansion to EVE had to have been Red Moon Rising. It actually made drones more effective (but at a cost of reduced numbers of them), so I loved pulling missions with my Vexor back them.
Irrational Games (Systemshock 2, SWAT 4 , Freedom Force..)
Stardock (Sins of Solar Empire, Galactic Civilizations..)
Blizzard (Diablo, Starcraft, Warcraft )
Bioware (Neverwinter Nights, KOTOR, Mass Effect)
1. Bioware
2. NC Soft
3. Blizzard
Ive played and enjoyed every game these 3 companies have released. WTF is neverax and why isnt bioware on that poll.

a company in general outside the mmorpg scene , would be Square soft (square enix)
in mmo would be blizzard
Cryptic Studio I love them! They make great games. NCsoft is second in my book.
Ok own up who voted for Failcom?
Another great example of Moore's Law. Give people access to that much space (developers and users alike) and they'll find uses for it that you can never imagine. "640K ought to be enough for anybody" - Bill Gates 1981
Blizzard without any doubt.
Even if you don't like WoW, you can't deny what a solid and content rich game is.
Plus 9 Million people finds it fun.
So I don't think there is any competition.
A note for the OP.
Codemasters doesn't develope MMORPGs, they just publish it.
They tried few years ago, but they cancelled the game.
4% of 50 votes?
It's a trap! THERE'S TWO OF THEM!
aren't NCsoft a publisher and not a developer?
pretty sure it was a-net who did guildwars under NCsoft
anyway guildwars had frequent and solid updates, tons better than the funcom ones, which is shocking because they where free patches whereas I am paying funcom to screw up the game with each patch.
My blog:
Blizzard, by far.
Never
Does
Blizzard is a well-deserved industry leader.
My least favorite: EA.
Favorite:
Verant cause they made EQ.
Least favorite:
Sigil cause they messed up a game that had a chance to do well.
NCsoft cause they let Lineage 2 go to waste in the EU and NA.
SoE cause they should focus on EQ instead of all the trash they make.
How can you blame NCsoft for lineage 2 not being the most popular game, the game is exactly the same as it is in korea, the korean devs still control all the changes and concepts, Lineage 2 is sitll constantly updated, constnatly maintained, the reason lineage 2 is not successful here is because the North american player base isnt hardcore, they want to be, but they arent, they cant take the level of grind, and time involved to succeed.
Lineage 2 caters to the people who can handle it, and thats all it needs to do.

L2 servers in the EU are hackfests. When 9 out of 10 players are bot controlled, sorry, that's out of control. I had the opportunity to play on an asian server and there's far less bots there.
Yes NCsoft let the western servers go to waste, there's no argument there.
Do I think L2 is a bad game? No.
Do I think L2 is a bad game because they neglected it in favor of Asian profit? Yes.

You dont seem to realize that NCSoft is not like these other companies that buy asian ports to jump on the asian bandwagon.
NC soft is the ONLY korean company the devolops for both north america and korea, and bots dont = hacks, the way the engine is, people could run multiple accounts from one computer, i could play 4 acounts at once it didnt require any third party program i could just make macros in game using the built in system, that is an engine flaw.
They didnt let the server goto waste, they did all that they could to get people to stick with the game, but the way lineage is set up is, it will only attract the people who apprecieate that style of time, and grind, that is as simple as it is.
you played the korean servers but how the hell would you know who is a bot and who isnt, and even if there are botters, how does that afffect your gameplay at all.

I'm guessing it's about MMO Developpers and BioWare has not released any MMO-games (yet)
My vote went to Blizzard also. Turbine is also pretty good.
They developed Lineage and Lineage 2 which are (were) massive games in Asia.
Its Austin Studios developed Tabula Rasa.
So they are definetly a developer, although CoH and GW were developed by other studios.
