Probably will get flamed, but I'd say Bioware. I do like Baldur's Gate but I'm not into most of their other stuff.

bungie for sure, they do very little in terms of firing out titles

and i have to defend square enix, they have 2 of the biggest and longest franchises in gaming, which sell amazingly well worldwide and get a AAA score on at least one platform here every year

For as many great games as thy've made, they still have a ton of shovelware anymore and their rehashes have gotten out of hand. Still good games but nothing really that incredible for a long time. I'd second Nintendo

I didnt say Lionhead was better than Square, I simply stated they dont get recognized enough for their games.

Banjo-Kazooie and Goldeneye are unbelievably amazing games.

If the company had made a game worth a damn in 8+ years and the original staff wasn't almost entirely gone, I'd let that pass as workable. Goldeneye was sweet, BK was Mario 64 for people who bought N64 late.

Most Underrated: LionheadSlyprince

Hilarious, Lionhead gets MORE hype than MOST developers and under delivers in proportion to their hype. Lionhead as underrated? Pass the BONG!

The most overrated developer out there is Bioware.

Not Squaresoft or Enix. Both of them deserve all the praise they get. But SquareEnix...just no

My two most disliked companies that just about everyone else seems to love: Bioware and Bethesda.

I just hate WRPGs.

I say Square-Enix.

But NOT Square-Soft.

Since they aquaired Enix, even if they don't develop the games or anything, their games since then have been lackluster.

Too much 'Over the top COOL style instead of gameplay. More eyecandy then anything.

But the Square-Soft of the PS1 was legendary. My favorite developer.

Your avatar is a perfect example of what you mean. Brave Fencer Musashi was a fantastic video game. One of my favorites, but it just became another series SquareEnix crapped all over with yet another cruddy sequel.

I hated Star Ocean 3 for the same reason

Meh, I typically see more people attack Halo than GTA. Both get their share of hatred though, goes with being popular. My pic is Square, ever since they merged with Enix I haven't been very impressed with their work.
