Of have to go with capcom, they made some poor choices the last few years but they are crushing it now. So glad they didn't continue to ruin resident evil and dmc
Can't pick a favorite so I'll list my tops:
SSI
Sierra
Origin
Microprose
Nintendo
Sony
Black Isle
Blizzard
id software.
Treasure.
The untouchable GOAT.
Radiant Silvergun + Gunstar + Sin n Punishment 1 all day everyday.
It is a tie between Sega, Capcom and Rare mainly for a quantity of good games but the others had to be mentioned.
SEGA all the way! Just so many interesting worlds ro explore and some of the lore is incredible!
Transformed is the best Fanservice game I have played but I sadly didn't like the Flying parts of the gameplay.
I really really hope they get back to this as I love Kart Racing games and the love letter to SEGAs franchises.
CING and Game Freak, but unfortunately both are dead.
If I really evaluate Sega objectively, it doesn't look that good. Their games have a tendency to not age worth a crap, and I feel like most of their impressive games were essentially arcade tech showcases. Sonic didn't age nearly as well as Mario because it really was a technical showcase game. "Look at me, the first platformer that has what can be considered rudimentary physics, and it moves fast." The ModelX games are legendary but because of the graphics not the gameplay. Are any of them really worth playing today over other games? Not really. Streets of Rage was always just a poor man's Final Fight and is ludicrously overrated. They also tend to get a lot of credit for games that they published but really had nothing to do with the development of, too, like Gunstar Heroes and Guardian Heroes, which were really 100% Treasure. If I just look purely at seminal awesome games that are still awesome today, Capcom, Konami, and Nintendo completely smoke Sega.
I really feel like Sierra is mostly a nostalgia trip and their reputation was more due to lack of competition than actual quality. I mean really, they had good music and art, but design wise they were almost all crap with their infamous nonsensical puzzles designed to get people to call 1-900 numbers. I can't think of a single "classic" Sierra adventure game that I could actually say has good gameplay with a straight face. As soon as the Texas shareware companies cropped up and started releasing real video games for the PC and Sierra had some competition, they basically died overnight. It's not a coincidence.
isn't Irem dead? Rare sold out to MS, and hasn't made any good games since besides KI. Also haven't seen Hudson do anything in years or taitoWhat about SNK, IREM, RARE, Treasure, Taito, Cave, Hudson, Compile etc. ?
There are so many good ones it's really hard to decide. I would probably go with a top 3 here: Sega, Nintendo, Konami (old)
I remember playing the first All-Stars Racing game all the time on Wii. Such a great alternative to Mario Kart. Too bad Team Sonic Racing doesn’t have ANY fan-service apart from the Sonic franchise.

Bullfrog - for creating Powermonger, Populous, Theme Park and Theme Hospital.
Maxis - for creating the original Sim City and The Sims - whatever they've become both were revolutionary when they came out and were enormous fun, never bettered by competitors in the market.
Novagen - the Mercenary and Damocles games, the first open-world exploration games, with the latter games featuring a full explorable solar system.
Microprose - F-19 Stealth Fighter, Midwinter 1 and 2, Civilization, Railroad Tycoon, Knights Of The Sky, Silent Service, Formula One Grand Prix (Geoff Crammond), Pirates, Carrier Command (note some of these were under their Firebird and Rainbird labels).
My man right there, all those Microprose games were ace!
Capcom because of Resident Evil and Street Fighter. Plus some Zelda titles.
How would you rate the latter, I'd give it a 7/10 myself after researching the trailers very very closely so I'd still put Yakuza 0 over it and have SEGA objectively win anyway, but what's your subjective take?And Monster Hunter World and DMCV

That's cool, you can vote for OTHER and SEGA.A favorite living company:
A favorite funct (nearly dead?) company:
A favorite defunct company:
No idea, it's lame, I couldn't vote until a while ago either.Question : why can’t neo members vote in polls ?
I voted for every choice.That's cool, you can vote for OTHER and SEGA.
Nice, SEGA's Herzog Zwei and the Dreamcast's Record of Lodoss War and Quake 3 Arena port are better than all those but that's some good subjective opinioning you got there.For me it's Blizzard by far.
Starcraft hooked me into online gaming back in 1998. I played a lot of Diablo 1 + 2, i played a shitload of WoW and now i regularly play Overwatch.
