[QUOTE="FoolwithaLancer"]

[QUOTE="gameplaycontrol"]you know not what you speak of lol Crash Bandicoot was AWESOME back in the day. It's a bonafied classic And Jak and Daxter is one of the most loved video game series of all time These weren't just good games here. These were awesome games for their timegameplaycontrol

K. You enjoyed there games. Let's look at there scores on MC.

Crash:75 Metacritic

Crash 2:87

Crash 3:91

Crash Racing :88

Jak:90

Jak2:87

Jak3:84

Jakracing:76

Uncharted1:88

Uncharted2:96

So, 1 AAAA, 2 AAA, 5 AA, And an A makes Naught dog with the likes of Valve?

Valve

Half Life 1:96

Half Life 2:96

TF2:92

L4D:89

Portal:90

L4D2:89

Portal2:95

Day of Defeat Source :81

So, 3 AAAA, 2 AAA and3 AA?

Naught Dog is nowhere close to Valve. Or Blizzard. Or even Rockstar.

p.s lol what did you not see the rankings ? Both ND and Valve have had 3 games with a ranking of 90 and above. Plus Portal was developed by another developer that valve bought. And the same goes for many of their other games.

Valve has 5 games above 90. ND has 3.

And I didn't even count Half Life episodes or Counter Strike games.

[QUOTE="gameplaycontrol"] No many many have. gameplaycontrol

And many many many more have enjoyed Blizzard Valve and Rockstar games.

And what's your point? And to say many more? You simply wouldn't know that

It's proof that Valve Blizzard and Ninty are way ahead of Naughty Dog. Saying ND is up with those guys, or even close for that matter, is laughable.

I think Naughty Dog has more artistic integrity than any of those developers. And no way does Bioware deserve to be considered among their ranks.

[QUOTE="gameplaycontrol"]I understood that point of view before you even mentioned it. And its not something that im arguing I totally agreed with your last post. Valve and blizzard have the long storied history. They've had the experience. They've achieved things beyond making games over the years. P.s you never know 10 years from now people could be looking back on ND and saying some of the same things . As of right now their track record has been nothing short of amazing and is spotlessLucianu

Naughty Dog is pretty old themselfs, i guess if they continue they'll be one of the GOATs. Now that i think about it their track record on all platforms have extreme similarities. Look at their trilogyes on all platforms.

1 one in the series - good, but not that great

2 one in the series - pretty damn incredible

3 one in the series - magnificience.

I can't speak for the PS2 era, but that's the case for the PS1 & PS3 era.

Haha that's pretty much how it seems uh They are one of the rare developers that really really improves their games from the next to the next and so on. They'll start a series and its first inception will be really good, but then after they get the ground work done, and the foundation is there , they'll really take the sequel to a whole other level and improve upon it greatly for the third p.s I've always considered ND the peoples champion of gaming. They are one of the few developers that get gamers amd knows what gamers want P.s.s They have much more experience and are bigger. I hope their next series, if there is one, is utterly amazing off the bat

for me, Naughty Dog is up there, and the ones who shouldn't be there are Valve and Rockstar.

Valve, because they only made what, Halflife and Halflife 2? all the other works are not Valve's idea, and were formed even before Valve hired them. Left 4 Dead did not start with Valve, so was Counter Strike, so was Team Fortress, so was Portal, etc. it's true that Valve later hired the devs/modders/students, but then again the "idea" of those games were made by other people. i just hate it when people say Counter Strike was made by Valve. they did not. some 3 modders just made a game out of the Quake engine of Half Life. same with Team Fortress. same with Ricochet. Left 4 Dead devs were purchased by Valve right after they conceived the idea of Left 4 Dead. Portal was originally a project by some students. so was Days of Defeat. so was Alien Swarm. the list goes on and on...

Rockstar, has only made a few good games, which are GTA1, 2, GTA3 (the best GTA IMO), Vice City and San Andreas and their PSP counterparts. apart from those games, Midnight Club, Bully, GTA4, Red Dead Redemp, are not exactly what i'd call top quality games because some of them are just boring, repetitive, bland.

i still hold Bioware on a much higher pedestal because seriously, theyve only made a couple of not-so-great games like Dragon Age 2. but their past games have been brilliant.

Why is Naught Dog even up there? Uncharted series, Jak series, and Crash series suck.

See, when it comes to the big dogs, there is no "in my opinion" Valve is up there for making /publishing Many AAA AAAA Games plus Steam and Source.

What has Naught Dog done :?

It's not laughable to me and many many others(see i can play that too. And there's my proof) But look, we all get your narrow minded opinion so there's no need to continue this.

Your not comprehending my point. Naughty Dog has created and crafted some truly excellent series and games that are easily up to par if not exceed the "Nintendo quality" They just don't have the 20+ year history of Nintendo or the 20+ years of franchises and knowledge that Nintendo has gathered. Experience is also huge. Plus Ninentdo has a bunch of studios working under it. A fair comparison would actually be like Sony first parties vs Nintendo. (Btw i think both are incredible and im a huge fan of both Sony and Nintendo)gameplaycontrol
Fun Fact: Naugty Dog has been around since 1986 (25 Years). Older than Blizzard, Valve and Id software

yeah, what has Valve done by hiring people who already had the basic concepts of a game (setting, story, gameplay, mechanics) and they slapping a Valve logo when the game ships?

i wouldve considered Valve one of the top if not for those things. it's like the film "The Departed". they bought the script of "Infernal Affairs" (very popular in Asia but not here), slapped the movie with DiCarpio and Nicholson and voila! Scorcese's first ever directoral Oscars win and he got all the credit. BS. meanwhile the original film did not even win an award outside Hong Kong.

Pretty interesting but can we have a source Also WHEN did they start making games at the capacity that they do now? When did they really start to get into making quality games? Not just when the company was first created Just some questions to ponder I would say that they really started around when the ps1 launched

Valve: Yes (not that it means much).

Blizzard: Yes.

BioWare: No, because BioWare only makes one good game these days (Mass Effect).

Rockstar: No.

uhhh...ND is a success story. in Way of the Warrior, (1994, 3DO), it was going bankrupt that they had themselves and their friends be the characters in the fighting game. but then a year later, PS1 launched and a year after that, in a last bet they released Crash Bandicoot which went on to become the face of the PS1, the first-ever non-Japanese game to sell 500,000+ units in Japan, sold over 6 million+ worldwide.

also, the Crash series are a critical hit among reviewers and gaming magazines. so was the Jak series. and so is the Uncharted series.

the most important part is that, unlike Valve, Naughty Dog's core team conceived the idea of Crash, Jak, and Nathan Drake. not only did they not outsource anything, they pretty much made the game themselves from start to finish.

So, because they stopped themselves from going bankrupt by getting there **** together, and they made 3 series, while Valve although not always coming up with them has made the games possible, ND is better :?

ND is better because you see how they evolved as a developer. Valve, on the other hand, just made one great game called Half Life and it spawned ideas and mods like Counter Strike, Team Fortress, etc. so in a sense, Valve has technically conceived, what, one series called Half-Life? and the others are from people outside Valve. but then when these games come out, Valve takes all the credit? i doubt people who mention how great Valve is do not even know that these games came from mods. all they see is that Valve logo in the box, which is totally sad and pathetic.

the thing is that, had Counter Strike, Team Fortress, etc. not become popular among the PC crowd, would Valve have hired the guys? doubt so. in fact, everyone practically played Counter Strike much much more than the Half Life MP. and that's why Gabe will never be like Shigeru Miyamoto, because Miyamoto can create games and not just hire people who can. id even say that David Jaffe can create more and better games than Gabe.

again, we are judging ND and Valve as a developer a.k.a. a team that creates games. not publish. i won't consider Valve as a great until i literally see a game that originally came from Valve, not some modders or students. they have a bigger team than ND yet they can't even create an original idea for a game? seriously>

So, because they stopped themselves from going bankrupt by getting there **** together, and they made 3 series, while Valve although not always coming up with them has made the games possible, ND is better :?

ND is better because you see how they evolved as a developer. Valve, on the other hand, just made one great game called Half Life and it spawned ideas and mods like Counter Strike, Team Fortress, etc. so in a sense, Valve has technically conceived, what, one series called Half-Life? and the others are from people outside Valve. but then when these games come out, Valve takes all the credit? i doubt people who mention how great Valve is do not even know that these games came from mods. all they see is that Valve logo in the box, which is totally sad and pathetic.the thing is that, had Counter Strike, Team Fortress, etc. not become popular among the PC crowd, would Valve have hired the guys? doubt so. in fact, everyone practically played Counter Strike much much more than the Half Life MP. and that's why Gabe will never be like Shigeru Miyamoto, because Miyamoto can create games and not just hire people who can. id even say that David Jaffe can create more and better games than Gabe.again, we are judging ND and Valve as a developer a.k.a. a team that creates games. not publish. i won't consider Valve as a great until i literally see a game that originally came from Valve, not some modders or students. they have a bigger team than ND yet they can't even create an original idea for a game? seriously

K, so because Not all Valves ideas are theres Naughty Dog can be held to there regard? So.... Can we include Turn 10 as good as ND as well?

T10 has only made 3 games so far. but Naughty dog has made great games for 3 generations. there's a difference, you know. you can't even compare Forza to Crash, Jak, and Uncharted. seriously.

they're good devs, but not as good as people like you make it up to be. Creating a game out of nothing =/= hiring people who created the very concept of a game and slapping your logo on the box so you can say you made it.

LOL @ Lionhead. is that supposed to be a joke? Fable 2 and 3 sucked. Fable 1 was not even great, it was just okay. Black and White was probably the only great game they made.

also, Rare. are they great? no. werethey great? hell yeah.

you know, shouldn't it be the other way around, just like ND? you start with crappy games and you set out on your journey to become creators of great games? Rare seems to do the other way around, which is just funny and sad at the same time. and yes, MS destroyed Rare.

Is Naughty Dog a developer up there with developers like Valve, Blizzard, Bioware, and Rockstar? I mean I really enjoyed Uncharted 2 which I played again, (more then SC2 because it felt like an extremely ploished version of SC). Also checked gamerankings, Uc 2 being the 6th highest rated game of all time, followed by I believe the Orange Box by valve. The difference I believe Between ND and and above mentioned developers is that they in some way, shape or form contrubted to the gaming industry... thoughts?dracolich55
Not yet but they certainly trying to get up there. And I could bet my money on them of being one of the great developers in next 5 years.

FoolwithaLancer

and so Epic is also great because they made Unreal Engine, which spawned Batman, Mirror's Edge, etc.? oh please. again, we're judging them through the games that they made, not the codes that they wrote for other people to use. Steam is nice and all, but it's just a service. so should i say Sony's ICE team is a great dev team because they enabled ND and Santa Monica to use MLAA, offloading all the crap to the SPUs, etc.? no.

yawn, except that even Fable buyers admit that Fables 2 and 3 sucked. did you ever see the words "Fable 2, 3" and "one of the greatest games on the platform" in the same sentence? no and never. too bad Crash, Jak, and Uncharted are games that define their platforms and that fact is recognized not just by Sony owners but all gamers as well.

Lmao @ the level of epic. When we're talking about strictly making games.....don't even make that comparison. It's a total disservice to ND and an insult. You should be ashamed

That was actually a compliment! Epic is one of the best devs this gen and i find ND to be just as good.
