what gaming companies do you currently trust huhdoodame;
i'm legitimately struggling to answer this question befuddlement
i'd like to know if there are any boyagers who can
I still trust bioware. And naughty dog. And Riot games. Maybe Namco???
That's about it.
I least trust capcom, dirty money grubbing sons of bitches.
i trust the dev teams for Nethack and DCSS immensely, although idk if that counts since they aren't for profit
i also trust blizzard but maybe that is just because i like overwatch so much lol. people who are into their other games have stronger opinions than i do
treasure is good
i probably trust nintendo the least but i also acknowledge that they are capable of getting amazinzg games out as well
Idea Factory/Compile Heart
Maybe HAL Laboratory? Kirby and Smash Bros games are consistently good.
Good-Feel comes to mind too, at least Kirby Yarn and Yoshi Wool were good and I haven't heard of them doing anything else.
I'll at least play and enjoy almost every Game Freak game, but I'd really hesitate to use "trust" with them.

bioware.
Riot
capcom,
how on earth goonish
I trust Rockstar, though not so much for online (I don't particularly care about online anyway), Nintendo hasn't left me feeling betrayed, they've been pretty consistent with their big titles for a long while. Naughty Dog for sure, and while DICE doesn't usually make games that interest me much, I always trust that it'll be a quality game.

HAL is a good one I'll second that
none? i trust valve as a game developer to an extent. maybe platinum again soon if they return to doing good shit and nier wasn't just a one-off. CD projekt red i guess?
I'm surprised you'd count Nier as a bad game by Platinum and not their licensed titles (TMNT, Transformers, Korra)

he meant nier was good and he hopes it wasn't a one off
yeah, ypr gets it; i meant nier was the first great game they made again after a series of tru dingers lol (star fox, korra, tmnt). i thought they could do no wrong b4 that tho
oh yeah i read that wrong, you're right

I still don't blame platinum fully for star fox.

suppose this is also tru. also the cancellation of scalebound was not a good look for them either, especially considering the game looked kind of fucking boring and directionless when they were still showing it off
miyamoto's cancellation of scalebound was perhaps the most stubborn, egotistical decision he's ever made
lol u got me 2 chuckle. YOU KNOW WHAT I MEANT BY 'them' argh;

wait... what do you mean miyamoto? Scalebound was for xbone?
i think he was clownin' on the fact that i vaguely made it sound like it was miyamoto's decision to cancel scalebound
this thread is all sorts of confusing cmongler sentence structures
Oh. Guess I missed that

but why would that look extra bad on them if the game looked bad anyway? they shouldn't waste resources on making boring games. would you rather it get cancelled when it actually looked good?

why bioware of all companies befuddlement
and even my faith in naughty dog has been tested before
their core single-player experiences tend to be stellar, but they have a habit of polluting the online modes of their recent games with completely unnecessary complexity and pay-to-win slop
also i'm still pretty disappointed about how utterly redundant the last of us' single-player dlc was
capcom has become truly terrible, i agree
There's still worse than capcom. At least capcom can still do neat things.

this is a good one, hal probably is one of the most trustworthy relevant devs out there
hal doesn't always produce ground-breaking games, but their average is generally v. good, and they certainly haven't ever struck me as a disingenuous or outright dishonest/manipulative company the way nintendo is

after the way they've handled gta v and reconfigured it to be nothing more than an efficient tool for extracting payment from the lowest common denominator of """gamer""", i will have an extremely difficult time trusting rockst*r in the future
honestly, i have low expectations for rdr2 and the future of gta
we never even got any singleplayer dlc because online extortion proved to be more profitable for them
they went out of their way to make gta online as much of a tedious grindfest as possible such that it was nearly impossible to have fun without cheating or buying an unironically-named shark card
...and then there's the fact that you can't even steal cars online, in a gta game, because all of a sudden you're expected to be a lawful citizen and pay for them, preferably with real money goonish

i lol'd
valve isn't even a game dev anymore
any game-developing talent they might have had would have left long ago after realizing that gabe no longer has any serious interest in making games so long as steam remains hugely profitable
dota 2 was the last game internally developed by valve, and that was in 2013

what has bioware done to shake my trust? Not much. They have a consistent product. DA2 was pretty meh especially compared to DA Origins but otherwise I'm pretty pleased
Idk none of those complaints about naughty dog really affected me. I thought people like the Last of Us DLC? Last of Us is great, Uncharted games are great, Crash is good, supposedly the Jak games are decent. What's not to like? They're making UC4 DLC this whole big production but they're not charging extra to people that got the deluxe edition or season pass or whatever for much cheaper than what the final cost will be. I'd say the only thing they really messed up on was not including multiplayer in the ps4 UC collection
my few, largely insignificant complaints about naughty dog are limited to the 7th and 8th gen, mostly
uncharted 3's online was excessively call-of-dutyish, and the last of us had fantastic multiplayer until they introduced pay-for-an-unfair-advantage elements
as for the last of us' dlc: it's good, but i think it represents a massive missed opportunity

Like Metroid Prime 4, Mother 3 (eng), and a new F-Zero game?
There's a huge amount of demand for these games across the web, but I feel like if/whenever they actually release the sales numbers won't be that great.

lmao wtf i didn't know about that
bold added and acronym de-acronymed for emphasis
ridiculous, isn't it
anybody who would willingly fork over actual cash on gta online when its business model is so clearly designed to exploit and extort either has no respect for themselves, or is a moron, or both
and what do you know, millions of braindead """gamers""" happily buy shark cards and pay full price for gta v to this day, and thank rockst*r for the opportunity to be exploited
so i'm left to conclude that the average """gamer""" either has no respect for themselves, or is a moron, or both
