Not only have Naughty Dog been making games since the 80's across multiple platforms...

But they have been made multiple genres of games, and have been steady with lots of critical acclaim.

If you can sustain that type of level for a whole lot of years, you too can be among those considered great

But what if there are greater developers? Nintendo? Valve?

Nintendo likely has more critical acclaim in their pinky finger than ND has in their whole outfit. Also, explain how you apply default respect to a company like the one I outlined.

Why is Naughty Dog in the poll? :?

tagyhag

Have you played Uncharted 2? (Only on the PS3) It easily has the best story in the video game medium. (Only on the PS3) An amazing style of gameplay (Only on the PS3) And comes with graphics that we won't see again until the next generation. (Only on the PS3)

It can also cook your food (Only on the PS3).

I am sorry to say but that poll is fail

Wheres Nintendo? Wheres Valve? yet you include naughty dog?

Diviniuz

I think thats pretty much what everyone is thinking. I know thats what I was thinking when I saw the poll. Naughty Dog...and no 'other' option. They're plenty of other studios from Valve to Nintendo to Bethesda to Rockstar that are far more deserving to be on that list. Hell, even Ubisoft and EA are more deserving.

And conversely, that's why I didn't bring Valve back....because all they seem to make are 1st person shooter/perspective type games which pigeon holes them.

Sorry...that's not greatness along the greatness scale...not for ULTIMATE greatness.

sorry.

Oh my word. A dev can't be great unless they create across a wide-variety of genres? Stop being arbitrary about this and putting stupid limitations in place please. It's embarassing :lol:

Being trolled just means that people acknowledge you and that you're not a faceless poster. (It's the best feeling in SW :D )

Unnatural101

you should probably learnw what critical acclaim is, becuase the only game they've made thats critically acclaimed is Uncharted 2.

Your reasoning suggests Nintendo are far more deserving to be on the list than ND. Lets have a look at their resume?

  • Starting making games in the 1970s
  • Have not only made games but gaming consoles (Its the Sony PS3, not the ND PS3)
  • SAVED THE FRICKING NORTH AMERICAN GAMING INDUSTRY WITH THE NES
  • Have made SO MANY MORE critically acclaimed games than ND
  • And since your love for them is clearly only based on Uncharted series, both SMG 1 and SMG 2 have far outranked them this gen in reviews and sales
  • And finally, if you want to talk variety, Nintendo have developed 2D and 3D platformers, action adventures, puzzle games, shooting games, kart racing games, simulation games and stragedy games

Whats interesting is how 90% of people posting in the thread aren't going for ND and yet the poll says otherwise. Apparently the people voting for them aren't posting much.

A poll allows you to have 5 options, despite many developers that you have missed out on, you still choose to list only 3?

*Sigh* People will just spend the thread complaining about how ND doesn't deserve to be there, they really have a lot of haters.TintedEyes

no, they've spent the thread complaining how it's been jury-rigged like the rest of TCs polls/threads/posts.

not sure how 'Ultimate gamespot law poll' is going to help with things either.

god forbid peoplecriticise somethinganyways. anyone else other than Valve/Nintendo would probably garner even more hate.

They made a couple blockbuster hits and are now development gods for some reason. Yet no one seems to mention that both their previous creations haven't really stood the test of time. They haven't really done much for gaming, but are popular, so that's why they are on the list.

There are at least 5 developers that I can think of on the spot that deserve to be on that list before Naughty Dog.

It was good... but not world-altering. It was just a solid action-platformer series... nothing praiseworthy enough to bring them up to the pedigree of companies like Nintendo, VALVe, Blizzard, id Software, etc.

I wouldn't say they are better then those guys either. But I still think Jak was far more then merely "solid" 8)

And the only two non-Uncharted games that are AAA on GR are a Crash Mobile game and Jak & Daxter: The Precursor legacy.

Eh. 10 years from now, no one will remember the Uncharted games. Just like no one remembers the Crash games (especially Crash Bash). They are this gen's flash in the pan.
