Poll: ?Trusted? Game Companies/Developers

[Buizel91]

Bungiee, Valve, Bioware, Bethesda and Blizzard

simply because they listen to their fan base. (Bungiee come into because of halo, and how they haven't drifted away from the story and have listened to the fans, they are a new edition to trusted developers for me) =)

you know it tells us summit... most Developers who are good and listen begin with a B =P

EDIT: and if Fallout New Vegas works i will love Obsidian!

Well, I don't trust Blizzard so much as I subserviently follow their every whim.

I don't really take much interest in who made the game, I'm usually always willing to give it a try. Most companies would atleast have a few good games regardless of a bad reputation.

Unless it has something to do with Codemasters, then that is the only exception. I swore to myself never to buy any of their games again, they've let me down too many times.

I trust valve, i trust bungie but thats about all.

[Aura Guardian]

I've trusted Nintendo and Treasure all my life. They have never let me down!

 

[Klepa]

Sure.
Valve are yet to fail me.

I think I'm just a fish outta water.

I not only hate Valve, I love EA.

There might be something wrong with me, I don't know.

OP: As I mentioned, I actually like EA. I will admit, they are a bit of a cope out, but ultimately the things they make WORK. I love their sports games, they make the Sims 3 (which, as a series, is one of my favorite games - if only because I've spent so much time playing all three editions), Medal of Honor, Battlefield (my all time FAVORITE game/series), etc. etc. EA is probably my favoritist Now, granted, you did say developers, and EA is more of a publisher, but I have a feeling you're using developer synonymously with publisher.

I gotta admit that in the last few years, for me, EA has saved a lot of face. I used to hate the company, but they've really done a lot for themselves over the past few years. They've thrown money at some fairly interesting and risky projects, some of which have backfired, some of which have not.

They're not really the EA we used to love to hate, anymore.

As for my list of trusted companies.. it's quite short. Valve and Blizzard almost make it, but I'm always a bit weary. The only company who I could blindly buy games from, is Bioware.

I'll retrust valve when they release EP. 3

 

[hazabaza1]

Bioware, of course, and Valve, I sort of trust. Also, if I see an RPG being made Bethesda, I'll assume it'll be good.

 

[MR T3D]

DICE, you've given me all i want in FPS.
you release patches, free maps, I trust you.

 

[twostripe]

insomnia, they made Resistance

 

[mandrilltiger]

Sure.
Valve are yet to fail me.

I not only hate Valve, I love EA.

Did you finish Half Life 2? At first it doesn't seem very good but it becomes amazing, and the ending is freaking amazing. We don't like it because of the Crow Bar.

EA closed Pandemic. They also didn't let the people that are now Infinity Ward make a Medal of Honer game with a level without a weapon. Most of the games they make must be sandboxes. Good games are still there (Skate 2, Burnout Paradise etc.) but there are a lot of things that I dislike about EA.

 

[Flames66]

Valve. That's about it. I will buy things by other developers but most of them have screwed me over at some point.

 

[Crossborder]

Well, Let's see. There's Eidos for Hitman and Thief,
There's Valve (Left 4 Dead, Half-Life)
Arkane Studios (Arx Fatalis, Dark Messiah),
Epic Games (Unreal)
And of course Bethesda (TES 3&4, Fallout 3).

 

[Reaperman64]

Valve proved they could be trusted with L4D2, Delivering on a promise that was pretty outlandish.
I tend to trust bioware to deliver and epic storyline and great charecters.
Square enix Deliver JRPGS consistently of great quality.
Infinity ward blow my socks of with great gameplay
the list goes on...each company has its own strengths, and EA gave us dead space and mirrors edge...i cant hate them anymore...onto ubisoft!

I'll retrust valve when they release EP. 3

On this point...screw valve...

Valve, Blizzard, Bioware - If they come out with a game I pay attention to it.
