Blizzard is about as sure fire as it gets. I can't think of a title they've released that I didn't love. Warcraft, Starcaft, Diablo, Lost Vikings were all gold.
I could almost certainly buy whatever project Titan today and be completely satisfied whenever it's release...despite having no more information than that it's a video game of genre/IP unknown being worked on by Blizzard.
That said, I've never actually bought a game without actually researching it and learning about it thoroughly in advance.

It had more to do with the dull temples, bosses, and main antagonist. Sailing was tedious, but I just put the DS down while that was going on and browsed the internet until I either got to the destination or something intercepted me.Zeckt said:
But that one god damn temple...
I'm surprised I even finished the game. It's the only Zelda game I don't like (except for possibly Spirit Tracks, obviously, since I haven't played it).
Blizzard probably. So far there hasn't been any title I knew of I haven't bought. Some of them several times (back when everything was on CDs that could break).
Edit: Exception of Lost Vikings(I've played it though) and the original Warcraft title (I think).
So sad that Ghost was cancelled. Looked just like my kind of shooter.

Well, no. Though there are some companies from whom I buy a lot. But every one of them has put out at least one game I've disliked. Three examples:
1. BioWare: Loved all their games ever since Neverwinter Nights, and the Mass Effect games are some of my favorite ever. But Dragon Age never really clicked with me.
2. Bethesda: Huge Elder Scrolls fan, ever since Morrowind. But I couldn't get into Fallout 3. Just didn't find it fun.
3. Square Enix: I've bought every numbered Final Fantasy (VI is one of the greatest RPGs ever made), and The World Ends With You was fucking fantastic. I haven't bought XIV, though, since I didn't like XI very much.
Most of the time, I'll just wait for the game to come out, and read the reviews. I've only preordered two games total in the past five years: Bayonetta (and only after playing a demo at a con) and Mass Effect 3.

That's awesome, I would probably Squee at that, and I'm a dude so... you know... WTF?! XD
Yeah I know right? He seems like a really down to earth guy. I was just like 'Thankyou for the FNV mod. I am enjoying it.' Hoping he would just see it and know that people are appreciative and he said 'Thanks Glad you like it' :>AnotherAvatar said:
Not much but it made my day.
Valve and Bethesda. At least anything they've developed themselves. I can't think of any time they've left me disappointed.
for me, relic absolutely. thanks for reminding meAC10 said:
most stuff thq publishes or develops i like for that matter.
bioware, i get most of their things. haven't gotten dragon age 2 yet, for financial reasons, and because the same financial reasons are keeping me from getting to all that Dragon age: Origins stuff. im unsure about dragon age 2, as i have heard lots of hate, and a good bit of praise as well, so i will just give it a try.
blizzard... not so much. never liked diablo, though i absolutely adore starcraft and warcraft, and kinda hope world of warcraft will continue shrinking so company resources can shift to other projects (like new warcraft strategy games perhaps? i know it probably wont happen, but i can just imagine WARCRAFT IV, the blackrock war, or something like that, re-making the wow content as an rts, editing the story so that it works single player, and likely will be better. maybe even particularly good or daring, not deliberately keeping the 2 factions at equal strength with the exact same races and always always at war to some degree).
Valve holds this dear spot in my heart. They treat their customers like mature, responsible people. They have the best digital distribution client, period. Valve doesn't port games to the PC, and if they do, they do a wonderful job of it.
Oh, and they figured out how to manufacture pure joy.

^^That, except I've never gotten a response from Sawyer. =[xXxJessicaxXx said:
Obsidian/Interplay/Troika always have very intelligent and deep writing in all their games, and despite also always being glitched out the posterior, are always fantastic in mechanics and balance. I'm not sure why their QA is so abysmal; but it can't all be blamed on working under less-than-stellar conditions (though KOTOR2 and New Vegas' issues are probably because of that.)
I'd also add Valve of course. The only series of theirs I'm not at least interested in is Counter-Strike, and I'd be willing to give even that a go. And I'll throw on a company that hasn't been mentioned yet: Frictional Games. The Penumbra series and Amnesia are both awesome, and the recent Justine add-on is even better than Amnesia's main game. And finally, Rockstar, though I haven't played RDR.
