You can pick up to three choices. Who are your favourite game developers - those you follow and buy a lot of their stuff or play a lot of their stuff?

My picks were Paradox, Blizzard and Firaxis - usually I am playing at least one game from each of these.

Bethesda and Paradox, I guess.
CD Projekt definitely deserves a lot of credit for The Witcher 3, which is a game I just can't seem to quit.

Bethesda is probably more of a publisher than a developer, mostly. But they have the Fallout and Elder Scrolls franchises in-house. And the more overlooked but amazeballsly good "Dishonored".

I still have yet to play a Paradox game I didn't on some level like. Okay, maybe HoI 3.

Who's behind the "Far Cry" franchise?

I kind of liked the fourth version in the Himalayas. But it got a bit samey after some 20 odd hours.

One of the franchises I have never gotten into is one of the biggest sellers out there. Assassin's Creed. Strangely it just never interested me much. Being a football fan, I thought I'd love PES and FIFA games too, but I don't. I do like SI Games' Football Manager, and buy it again and again each year.

Paradox, Bioware and Obsidian.

CD Projekt up there too. I was actually torn between them and Bioware, but ultimately Bioware have far more games.

The first one, Ubisoft since.

I voted Firaxis. No need to pick 3.

Altho, my real #1 is Nintendo.

Am I missing something with this bit about CD Projekt? Haven't they only done The Witcher games? :unsure:
Title: Re: Who are your favourite game developers?

Firaxis is Civ, right? Add them to my list.

You're right about CD Projekt, garbon. No need to be a bitcher about The Witcher.

I guess I'd also mention Rockstar. I've had some fun with the GTA games.
My old stiff fingers hasn't let me really enjoy number five much, though, as it is a game I think needs a controller to properly experience it.
