VALVe, Bethesda, Bioware... they're all aces.

Gearbox is pretty good, too

Bioware would be my only one. I bought Dragon Age Origins knowing nothing, I mean nothing, about it except for that it was made by Bioware. I didn't even know what type of game it was. In fact, I didn't even look at the back of the box, because I knew that if it was by Bioware then I couldn't not love it.

I was not disappointed.

Valve too, sort of, but I'll still check out the games beforehand. With Bioware, I don't seem to need to.

not even gonna lie, same here, i must have been in a cave up until that came out, was with a friend and he was wondering if i was gonna get dragons age and i go "uh..what? wtf is dragons age?" and we stop in our local game store and i instantly bought it seeing it was bioware, and of course, loved it

i am currently replaying kotor and mass effect 2 if this indicates any of my fanboyism...

 

[Ninjamedic]

Capcom, at least they give me what games i want, oh and bethseda.

Valve are Traitors.

 

[squid5580]

Nope I don't trust any of them as far as I can throw them. I know they don't care about me. I know they can turn on me at any given second. I know the only thing they want is sitting in my back pocket.

 

[mandrilltiger]

Yes I finished Half Life 2. That was my idea, "Maybe if I just continue it a little more, maybe it'll get just a little better."

But it didn't.

It got worse.

Wow! I guess you didn't appreciate the great pacing and AI. Did you get lost or confused? You have to play the first one to understand the story.

Whatever we'll just agree to disagree.

 

[Pontus Hashis]

bioware and sony in general.

 

[teisjm]

Blizzard and Valve. They're loyal to their fans, and support their games for free long time after they're released.

 

[Arachon]

Hm... Fair question... I would have said Bioware, but the dumbing down of Mass Effect 2 shook my faith in them... Stardock is solid, but it's a publisher. DICE creates nice games, and they're Swedish, which is cool.

Oh, and Introversion, a small-time (9 people) studio, creating great games such as Uplink & DEFCON, publishing them all by themselves.

 

[Pain_Inflictor]

Naughty Dog.

 

[DethPenguin]

I used to unconditionally buy any new Valve game.
Then Left 4 Dead happened, and I wizened up a bit.
I used to like Bethesda too, especially after Morrowind.
But then Fallout 3 happened.
That said I do trust a few developers competent enough to make good games, for some reason I only have a few of their games though.

Bioware, Obisidan, DICE, Relic

 

[acklumos]

Naughty Dog and Insomniac. They have yet to make a game that I would consider anything less than superb.

 

[Shock and Awe]

Bungie, Bioware, and Nintendo, I can always count on them to make good stuff.

 

[tsb247]

I trust Stardock, Bohemia Interactive, Gas Powered Games, and GSC Game World along with Valve and a couple of different studios out there.

However, I would like to make it perfectly clear that:

EA SHOULD BURN IN HELL FOR WHAT THEY DID WITH C&C4!!!

 

[SL33TBL1ND]

Valve.

 

[Anticitizen_Two]

Nintendo has some great products too. None of their games are cutting edge

This is probably just the fanboy in me, but WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? Nintendo redefined what video games are in the mid eighties and defined what they are in 3D in the mid nineties. I mean, maybe you could say that if you were to only look at the games they've released in the past five years, but looking at their entire history, it's quite clear that Nintendo was the driving force behind the games industry from Super Mario Bros. on, and in many ways they still are today. They have countless cutting edge products.

OT: Nintendo (obviously, after the above fanboy rant). I used to be able to say this about Valve until they decided to make shitty "episodes" instead of making Half-Life 3 and blatantly lied to us about the future of L4D. What they did with L4D2 is not at all okay in my book.

 

[DragonChi]

I trust Blizzard and Valve.
