The one game/franchise you care about the most from each publisher

So, you know. There's loads of publishers on the market, and stuff. What one franchise/game do you care for the most from them? For the purposes of this thread, publishing labels should all still be counted under one umbrella category (so Rockstar and 2K should be the same, Activision and Blizzard, and so on).

Here, I'll start:

• Nintendo: The Legend of Zelda
• Sony: God of War
• Microsoft: Fable
• EA: Mass Effect
• Activision Blizzard: Warcraft
• Ubisoft: Assassin's Creed
• Warner Bros.: Batman
• Square Enix: Final Fantasy
• Sega: Persona
• Bandai Namco: Tales
• Capcom: Monster Hunter
• Konami: lol
• Take Two: Civilization
• Bethesda: The Elder Scrolls
• Valve: lol

For now, that should be good enough to start.

How about you guys?

Nintendo: Legend of Zelda

Microsoft: Gears of War

Ubisoft: Prince of Persia

EA: Mass Effect/Burnout

Sega: Bayonetta

Bethesda: Elder Scrolls/Wolfenstein

Square Enix: Deus Ex/Final Fantasy

WB Games: Witcher series (Tis the publisher in Canada anyways)

Take-Two: GTA/ Red Dead

"Activision" doesn't publish Warcraft. Blizzard self funds and self publishes their games. If you want to count them as one entity then "Activision-Blizzard".

.

Here is my list:

• Nintendo: Xenoblade
• Sony: The Last of Us
• Microsoft: Quantum Break
• EA: Mass Effect
• Activision-Blizzard: Starcraft/Warcraft (Blizz: SC/WC, Acti: Soldier of Fortune)
• Ubisoft: World in Conflict
• Warner Bros.: No One Lives Forever
• Square Enix: Deus Ex
• Sega: Total War
• Capcom: Resident Evil
• Konami: Silent Hill
• Take Two: XCom
• Bethesda: The Elder Scrolls
• Valve: Half Life
• Gearbox: Homeworld

@Cloud_imperium: I swear I wrote Activision Blizzard... idk, maybe a bad brainfart moment?

Anyway, went back and fixed it now

• Nintendo: Pokemon
• Sony: God of War
• Microsoft: Halo
• EA: Mass Effect
• Ubisoft: Assassin's Creed
• Warner Bros.: Batman
• Square Enix: Deus Ex
• Sega: Persona

Actually I don't think in such a way and in fact I'd even go as far as to say that having strictly drawn out preferences or clear cut favorites is what limits your mind and perspective.

Some games that I look forward to are just byproducts of keen interest and a resultant / net force of variety of factors. I do acknowledge previous achievements of developers but I don't make my preferences revolve solely around them.

• Nintendo: Pokemon
• Microsoft: Gears of War
• Sony: Ratchet & Clank
