CD Projekt RED. Not only for the quality of their games, but also for their attitude.

Also, Valve.

My favourites are Rockstar, Bethesda and Valve.

There many contenders, like Bioware, Irrational, Naughty Dog, Dice, Nintendo, Turn 10, etc...

Considering that Manhunt 1 and 2 were mediocre (and I'm a stealth fan), Max Payne 3 was a great looking yet shallow shooter, and let's not forget their Ping Pong game... no, it's not Rockstar. They have some amazing games, but if you are going by consistency, I'm going with Valve.

I'd say CDPR. Not only cos they make good games but their incredible attitude towards the industry. 

Other than that probably Naughty Dog or R*.

I agree that it's Rockstar, and anyone who says that it's Bethesda like on similar threads is wrong, Skyrim didn't even work on PS3.

GTA is not the most famous. Probably one of them, but not even close to being THE most famous.

I can not say one best outright, but the running is:

CD Project Red

Naughty Dogs

Nintendo's internal gamin studio EAD ithink it is? keep forgetting -.-

Rockstar North

Valve

Those are likely my picks for the best, mose eficient, and the ones putting in most care in their games.

Out of those, since the high mark of the end product are around the same, I would look at the service and attitude they have towards the gamers.

As such CD Project Red, and Valve takes the top spots, and ironically will place Bethesda in the running aswell.

Paradox Creative Assembly Bioware (I STILL BELIEVE DAMMIT!) Bethesdablue_hazy_basic

 

Actually yea, CA as well. They don't make perfect games but when you have the scale and scope they have, it's kinda a given it will have rough edges. I wouldn't list Paradox tbh. They just shove out as much shit as they can. Some games are great but alot of them are downright pre-alpha state.

Yes. Mario, Pokemon, Counter Strike, League of Legends, The Sims, Pac-Man, Halo, Call of Duty, FIFA, Madden, all franchises that are at least as famous as, if not more famous than, GTA. Which automatically, by definition, makes GTA, at best, one of the most famous gaming franchises.

You're right, when I get a game on my PC it is usually just a game available for consoles as well (Skyrim, Bioshock Infinite, etc).

Sorry, I just tried to go back and play GTA 4 again and I just lost interest with it. I loved it at the time, but in my opinion, it didn't age well. And even if it did, one game (or series of games) isn't enough to qualify a developer as the greatest of all time. And hey... it's OK to disagree with me, you know.

In the south east Asian countries, there are a lot of people who have no idea what Mario is, yet they know what GTA is.

Bioware, Bethseda, and Turn 10. All have made multiple great games.
