Poll: ?Trusted? Game Companies/Developers

[DustyDrB]

Bioware could tell me to drink their piss and I would have to insist that I pay them for it.

valve is great. bethesda makes great games, but i personally hate them because the lack of support i had with fallout 3 on the pc. the game was buggy as hell and the guys didnt helped at all.

 

[LeonLethality]

Nintendo, Capcom, square, naughty dog, insomniac they all deliver top notch games and I trust them all to continue to deliver great games.

I used to like rare (DKC and the old banjo games were awesome but they suck now)

 

[SUPA FRANKY]

Nintendo, Atlus ( SMT Series only!), Grasshoper Studios, Valve, Bioware, Square Enix ( After FF13, it has regained my trust)

 

[Shepard's Shadow]

BioWare. The only thing I knew about Dragon Age before I pre-ordered it was that it was made by BioWare and it had dragons in it.

 

[Blatherscythe]

Bioware and Bethesda have yet to disapoint me with one of their games.

 

[Weaver]

Relic has never made a game I've played which I didn't adore.

 

[Jennacide]

I trust Bioware, Valve (but not that much), Bethesda and Blizzard. They all make awesome games.

This. Minus Blizzard since the merger they've done nothing but piss me off with making WoW crappier and the bullshit with breaking Starcraft 2 up into 3 games. Bioware and Valve have never done me wrong; and Bethesda, while not perfect, knows exactly what I seek in open world games, truely interesting environments.

 

[Nouw]

Relic. A constant stream of really good games. Can't wait for Space Marine. -squeal-

 

[DNA]

Bioware (Neverwinter Nights, Jade Empire, KOTOR, Mass Effect, Dragon Age, Icewind Dale)
Ubisoft (Assassin's Creed, Splinter Cell, Far Cry)
Eidos* (Tomb Raider, Hitman, Legacy of Kain, Thief, Deus Ex)
Square-Enix (Final Fantasy, Star Ocean, Dragon Warrior)
Konami (Metal Gear/Solid, Silent Hill, Dance Dance Revolution)
EA** (Madden, Command and Conquer)
Monolith (F.E.A.R.)
GSC Gameworld (S.T.A.L.K.E.R., afaik this is all they've made+sequels/prequels)

*Separated Eidos from Square-Enix because it wasn't a merger, Eidos is still a subsidiary just rotting under Square-Enix's name)
**EA gets mention because its bought everything under the sun anymore... EA has its mits in Bioware now since 2K sold em off)

Besides the obvious ones everyone's mentioned already (Bioware, Bethesda, Valve) I would add Harmonix to the list. Unlike their competetors, every game they've done has been excellent.

I wish I could say I still trust Nintendo, but I really haven't been a fan of their whole process of releasing older games with waggle controls and calling them "new" (Mario Kart, Smash Bros. etc.).

 

[Olrod]

Yes. This works both ways too, as long ago I learned never to buy anything by Konami as I've disliked every single Konami game I'd ever bought.

 

[reg42]

There are certain devs who I expect to make good games all the time, so in that sense I trust them. Bioware would be an example of this.

i trusted pandemic

[Volafortis]

I doubt I'm a minority when I say Bioware and Valve. Also adding Blizzard and Bethesda, and Obsidian is very close to being one. All of the employees from Obsidian were in great companies (Interplay and Black Isle), and NWN2 and KotOR 2 were both good, so as long as Alpha Protocol and Fallout: New Vegas are good, they'll be one as well. (And I highly doubt they can screw up Fallout, they technically have more history with the series than Bethesda.)

 

[Amethyst Wind]

Mistwalker hasn't let me down yet.

 

[Mr. Gency]

Valve, Naughty Dog, Sucker Punch, and Bend.


Not much else to say...
EDIT: I can't belive I forgot Insomniac

Sure.
Valve are yet to fail me.

I'm glad this is the first comment.

 

[DrunkWithPower]

100% trust to Gearbox, if I ever had a problem on Borderlands, they will patch it. I would say Valve but they've shunned PS3 and that's all I have. I know the majority wags their fingers at me for that but hey, I have a good reason.
