How can anyone argue against Blizz being the greatest devs ever? It's not that they just made one amazing franchise, they don't stick to a single genre. Their games REEK of quality, polish, refinement, gaming perfection! Not just from great artstyle and graphics, but the optimization is MAGNIFICENT! The Sound! The Production Values! The Social Aspect! The Story! The Cut Scenes! The online support! And they pull this off EVERY TIME! From RTS's, to MMO's, to RPG's, any time a game is made by Blizz you just know it's going to be AAA quality. Who honestly can is even begin to compete? ___ Noone comes close tbh, Valve? Not even close imo, Valve owns hard, alot because of their work with steam, but they mostly stick to one genre and their games have been feeling like mods these last years, amazing mods, but still... They aren't up to par. Nintendo? Oh please... Nintendo is great and all but their games are much to simple to compete, they are charming and fun and that's great, but these Blizz games push every single category of gaming, not just fun and polish. ___ Warcraft. World of Warcraft. Starcraft. Diablo.

Guess that's true, but Blizz has always been great with their fanbase, I'm sure the more recent 25$ Mounts etc are Activision's doing. But this is more about making games. Which dev has the most skill in creating top quality timeless, industry standards etc etc. Blizz OWNS 2 genres already if you think about it, MMO and RTS belong to Blizz :P

They take too long to release games and turned WoW into trash.

Valve revolutionized the FPS genre, not just with story-telling, but physics and game-play (obviously Half Life, Half Life 2, Portal etc.) Valve set the standard for downloadable content on the PC. Valve set an unprecidented level of support for a game after it's release, without asking for a single extra dollar (Team Fortress 2, Counter Strike Source). Valve, is, as you put it in system wars, 't3h ownage!1!!!' But then again, so is Blizzard in many respects, some of which you have mentioned above. :P I just hope Activision doesn't meddle to greatly in their absolute "profit" focused methods.

With all due respect, as much as Bioware owns, they are lightyears behind devs like Blizz and Valve. Bioware games own but they also feel like the same game reskinned over and over again.

I love Blizzard but loathe Activision, & after not enjoying WotlK near as much as Vanilla & BC, as well as seeing Activision within WoW now (in-game paid content), I'm just not sure any more. Valve & Bioware are amazing, but I'm not a fan of many Valve games, & while I love Mass Effect 2, there's something about there other games I just can't get love, even though I have enjoyed them; i.e. DA:O & KotoR. I'd rate Bungie up there also, though the Halo series is all they have really struck big with, so I'll be waiting to see what there next titles are like with... Activision. I should add Capcom as well. They're titles are so varied & I love most of them: SSF4, Dead Rising, DMC, Monster Hunter, Resident Evil, Lost Planet just to name a few.

The graphics are just as good as Crysis of you consider they run on old ass pc's. Real skill in making computer game graphics is optimization, and blizz is first class when it comes to that, they'll make a 2010 game look and play great on old ass pc's that's true skill.

I disagree with you. They are good but not the best. WoW was ruined since the ending of TBC, Bnet2 lacks many options that Bnet1 had (I hope they fix that in the future). That's all that I can think

That's insulting imo. Nintendo make a killing off nostalgia, they get free passes in graphics, story, sound, online, production values... If it were any other dev in the world they'd either get knocked for those things, or they simply wouldn't get as much praise.

Yea well, come to think of it. Doom graphics are as good as Crysis if you consider it runs on old PCs..

Reading comprehension fail. Blizz makes games look GREAT and run GREAT on old PC's... Crysis runs and looks like crap on old PC's... It's hardly skill to make a game and just use up all the ram and graphics card power, the real "deving" skill is with optimization... You just proved you not a PC gamer otherwise you'd understand perfectly what I was talking about.

So does Blizzard. They make MMO's and remakes of 10 year old games with barely better graphics and same gameplay.

I'm not sure what that has to do with the point I made. But. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zuKwiM5sUiY&hd=1 That looks pretty damn amazing for an MMO that's like over 5 years old and runs on ancient laptops even... Some of the textures and effects are pretty damn awesome, the optimization is insanely good. Remember this is an MMO, servers with 15k people, in a persistent world, no loadings from zone to zone etc.. It isn't a SP game.

Yeah they've also made more AAAA's than any other company, more AAA's than any other company. Gotten more GOTY's than any other company. And Made more industry changing games than any other company. And the difference isn't just marginal like it is between Blizzard and Valve. Nintendo has a vastly superior library than Blizzard.

It's not about which dev has made the most variety of games, it's about which dev has made the bestgames.

And there, both Valve and Nintendo have Blizzard beat.

Of the games you mentioned in the OP, the highest rated was World of Warcraft with a press score of 93 on Gamestats.

Valve easily beats that with HL2, and Nintendo CRUSHES it with the best rated game of all time.

And both of those devs have better games still.

Major facepalm, ratings don't work that way... You can't take a review rating number from one year and put it against a game in a diferent genre from another year and say it's better :?

Ok, so a game has to be as old or younger than Warcraft for it's higher review score to be valid?

Well Half Life 2 was released in the same year as WoW, and among other things Nintendo has Super Mario Galaxy 2.

And no, they do not have to be the same genre. Half Life 2 is a better FPS than WoW is an MMO. Simple as that.

Using Ocarina of Time is kind of a stilted example; it existed when we have only a fraction of review media we do today, and has it's average raised by the official and unofficial Nintendo only publications. Not to mention the pitfalls in comparing across 12 years in widely different genres on different systems.

:lol: :lol: :lol:

It's not about which dev has made the most variety of games, it's about which dev has made the bestgames.

And there, both Valve and Nintendo have Blizzard beat.

Of the games you mentioned in the OP, the highest rated was World of Warcraft with a press score of 93 on Gamestats.

Valve easily beats that with HL2, and Nintendo CRUSHES it with the best rated game of all time.

And both of those devs have better games still.

Major facepalm, ratings don't work that way... You can't take a review rating number from one year and put it against a game in a diferent genre from another year and say it's better :?

People actually believe in this?....i for one surely lol'd

It's a matter of opinion and taste. I don't really enjoy the games that Blizzard releases. I've always enjoy Nintendo's released most, so I could argue that they are best developers on the planet.

[QUOTE="NubTub_of_Win"][QUOTE="Silenthps"]yeah... no. that title goes to NintendoParasomniac
That's insulting imo. Nintendo make a killing off nostalgia, they get free passes in graphics, story, sound, online, production values... If it were any other dev in the world they'd either get knocked for those things, or they simply wouldn't get as much praise.

So does Blizzard. They make MMO's and remakes of 10 year old games with barely better graphics and same gameplay.

This.

While a great developer and they make good quality products, Blizzard does the same thing as Nintendo; relying on key franchises to keep re-releasing to the hardcore fanboys.

The only dev that is as consistent as Blizzard is Valve, both devs always, and I mean 100% of the time put out AAA quality products that have decade long lifespans. How many devs can say that? Those two. Which is why I believe that Blizzard and valve are the best devs in the industry with Nintendo following pretty close behind.

Blizzard owns the RTS genre? HAHAHAH No they dont. SC 2 may get more sales, but their are plenty of better RTS games out there.

Sorry, that's a cop out. Blizzard do not re-use their franchises to anywhere near the same extent as Nintendo do. There has only been 2 Starcrafts. There's been 8 Mario Party's.

Blizzard has stated Warcraft 4 is YEARS away. Even if it comes out in 2013, that'll be 19 years since the first Warcraft, 19 years to make 4.

Contrast this with Nintendo. This generation we've already seen two Mario games in the same vein (galaxy), and two Zelda games. The level of repetition is not at all comparable. Nintendo recycle their franchises far, far more frequently, and they have a much lower quality assurance rate than Blizzard.

If they were so good I would still be playing WOW. They don't know wth they are doing any more. They focus way to much on WOW and screwing it up... And less on Diablo 3 which is all we care about more then StarCraft 2.

Best not post your opinion in SW, nub tub. Most will get insanely offended by it (perhaps even letting their soul get scarred by it) and proceed to bash you and call you "wrong" on all possible fronts that their high and mighty minds can think of.
