Probably something like this (not really in order):

  • CD Projekt Red
  • Valve
  • Bioware
  • Rockstar
  • Ninja Theory

Honourable mentions: Playground Games, Moon Studios, Playdead, Eidos Montreal, Bungie (only for Halo).

I still have Faith in Bioware. I do believe Anthem might pull through despite this isn't saying much at this time.

I'm not sure about top 5, that's a tough one. Though I'd have to give Atlus credit for keeping the Vita alive in Japan.

Rockstar used to be there on top, but GTAV was so mainsteam, so easy, and so sunday-gamer mediocre that it dropped them to the bottom.

This is honestly hard. But the first two are easy:

1. Nintendo: not my favorite company but they pretty much have to be number one, they have been making legendary video games since the 1980s. Nobody has contributed to the videogame industry like them.

2. Blizzard: been making amazing games since the 90s. Warcraft, Diablo, Starcraft. I feel their quality was better in the past but they are still one of the better devs.

Beyond that its difficult. Bungie - quality drop. Epic games- quality drop. Lucas arts and Westwood don't exist anymore.

I'm gonna go with:

3. id software

4. Bethesda

5. Creative Assembly

Yes imo they are the best. They are the only developer to know how to really make an open world game.

STALKER is one of the hardest FPS ever. it doesnot feature auto aim, see through walls, cover system, hand holding so you wont like it.

It's a buggy sh*tfest that was never good. The first one has a pathetic 82 meta score, the sequals even worse...Just LMFAO!

PC gaming is really shit if you have to go back to garbage like Stalker LOL

82 is excellent metacritic score. history show most of 96 on metacritic always been overrated.

you probably never played it anyways. its most unique and innovative game of its time

https://store.steampowered.com/app/4500

theres the reason why its overwelmingly positive on steam.

try harder next time my friend.

metacritic means crap otherwise COD has been high on metacritic so by this logic its best FPS sereis?? lol

we play games. you play scores. theres the difference.

Played it back in the day, was extremely buggy.

But I'll have to try the game again one of these days, I'm sure they (or the community) fixed the bugs.

Nah...

1.cd project red ( the witcher series was awesome with 2 even better dlc, and cyperpunk looks great aswell)

2. Larian studios ( the guys behind the great and grossly underrated divinity series)

3. Square enix( despite them not being as good as they used to be DQ11 have brought back my faith in them).

4. Blizzard ( When the worst game you have made is diablo 3, you know you are doing ok...)

5. Obsidian entertainment ( they have made so many great game, that despite them doing I kind of would love to see what they could do with some proper backing)!

  3. CDPR
  4. Bethesda Game Studios (Bethesda Softworks and Zenimax can suck it like the dirty publishers they are)
  5. Radical Fish Games (CrossCode comes out tomorrow!)
  6. Arkane

I don't care about Rockstar after they jumped on the games as a service bandwagon.

Rockstar might be one of the better current developers, but they are definitely not even close to my top 5 of all time.

My top 5 of all time:

1. Nintendo (from the 80s until current day)

2. Konami (in the 80s and 90s)

3. Sega (in the 90s and early 2000s)

4. Rare (in the 90s and early 2000s)

5. Midway (in the 90s and early 2000s)

Yep... Mass Effect, KOTOR, Jade Empire, Dragon Age etc.

I'm keeping the faith. But yes, Andromeda was a backward step & Anthem doesn't interest me. But having Casey Hudson back makes me feel a little more confident.

Bethesda (more for elder scrolls feel their fallouts have been lacking)

Obsidian (Kotor 2 and New Vegas, if these guys had access to a great IP and backing who knows?)

Cd projekt red (witcher series was amazing and cyberpunk looks to be incredible)

Bungie (They built halo and essentially made console FPS mass market, Destiny w/e else remains a great FPS)

Rockstar (overrated? maybe but you can't argue with how dominant they are in the open world sandbox game)

Special mention for Project aces, (I know more a niche choice but with the exception of assault horizon never been let down by their games.)
