This is an apples and oranges comparison. Other than SWtOR BioWare and Blizzard games do not cross genres. Since I prefer RPGs I go with BioWare, but if they ever decided to make a stat based action game ala Diablo or something along the lines of Starcraft, I would likely go with Blizzard. It will be interesting to see how BioWare's first MMO outing fares from both a critical and commercial standpoint.

Seriously? Is this even being discussed? Blizzard made RTS games for the most part until they lucked out with WoW. Bioware, on the other hand, has consistently raised the bar and redefined whatever genre they have touched on. Bioware is by FAR a superior game developer hands down. Their attention to detail is sorely needed in a market cursed by WoW clones who all release spotty, incomplete content (a la WoW). Blizzard, however, may have a stronger marketing department, which is equally important. A great game may never get played if no one knows about it.

Bioware, hands down.



I never was blown away by WOW or Diablo.

Bioware or Blizzard?

I used to think blizzard blew Bioware way, but taking 10 years to make games sort of made my view point shift to Bioware.

Blizzard is a very succesful company for enslaving human beings by offering them a chance to prove themselves in a pseudo fantasy world, I've been playing WoW since it's launched until 2 years ago, when they ripped off the lore and wrote new ends for more people to sign up, more catalystic events just to pump up the revenues of themselves and they did a tremendeous job at it.

They only destroyed favourite characters one by one and created a mindless generation of teenagers with no RPG background or any edge at language, and not looking at events in a way that most veteran RPG players do. They wouldn't like anything sophisticated then their game, REAL roleplaying would be too much for them. Linear gameplay, only based on items and succesion through how much you devote yourself to the game is the corrupted purpose of the game itself. I loathe Blizzard for exploiting their world too much like this. I think it's just sad.


Bioware is nothing like this, they deliver far better worlds with incredible detail so many times, everytime it's a new adventure waiting to be played over and over again, just not 15 hours a day for 6 years like WoW.

I hope Bioware takes some measures about this when it comes to Old Republic, I don't want to see Yoda or some other epic character being toyed by 15 year old kids drooling for colorful items.

*sigh* Maybe they will.

and at Non-RPG genre, Valve is the best company in the world.

I dont think you could fight Yoda he isnt alive yet.

This is how I see the world:

Three Game Developers that rule all: Valve, Bioware, Nintendo (though I admit Wii Music was the worst game ever. in history. not exaggerating.) and then everyone else is leagues below them.

And Blizzard has made some great RTS's but their recent business decisions a la WoW and the the splitting up of Starcraft make me believe fully that Activision corrupted them and they are simply not the same company any longer.

I don't like nintendo, the only thing they have going for them is Metriod, Zelda, and SSB, and they only release those per next gen console.

They release a new Mario, Zelda, and Metroid game for sure at least once every least three years, often times after only two.  And Mario, Zelda and Metroid remain the three most consistently excellent franchises in all of gaming.  They also have pokemon, which while stagnant is still addicting and entertaining.  And Super Smash Bros., which while a game that won't please everyone, it will suck up more hours than anything else for those who do.  Nintendo constantly sets industry standards and provides excellence.  At least on the software front.  Hardware, on the other hand, is a whole other issue.


But now we are entirely off-topic.  So I am done.

Still Bioware>Blizzard

PC or console?

Blizz for PC, Bioware for console.

At some point, I realized that I wasn't going to be able to make this call without betraying a part of myself. So, like Seagloom, I conveniently came to the conclusion that what I'd been faced with surely must have been an apples and oranges comparison, breathed a deep sigh of relief, and forever swore to leave it at that.

I'd say for me currently bioware is better because they're actually coming out with new games that I want fairly consistently. For those who say bliz is going down hill because they haven't released a non-WoW expansion in something like 10 years, I'd say they're still doing pretty damn good considering they haven't HAD to release a new game in 10 years and yet this question is still being raised.

Squaresoft/Square-Enix are a great developer,the final fantasy series is arguably the best rpg series of all time.

and for those who say that nintendo is only mario, zelda and Metroid, those are just the oldest and because of that best known franchises. Every generation Nintendo comes up with new franchises, like last generations excellent Pikmin, and now this generations Wii series (wii fit, wii sports, wii whatever) and those among many others.

for consoles without doubt Nintendo is for me 1st place. Then we've also got Team ICO (i'm sure i don't have to say why i like them). and apart from that, mh, dunno, naughty dog?

for PC, Bioware. And then theres Valve and Blizzard and ubisoft montreal (and whatever ubisoft Michel Ancel works at.)

i wont say which is best though. im just choosing whos games i like most, which has nothing to do with how good they are

bioware and nintendo games are the few that i'm willing to buy at release.
