Naughty Dog
>>336684096
You can't be serious
All their ports are godlike.
You can trust them to make new features then cut them out in the next game
I can trust developers only if at least they have a 60% ratio of good games. So far, Monolith Soft is among the ones i trust.

Special shoutout to Bluepoint Games as well, for being the fucking kings of porting
>>336685051
I'm still fucking mad about Battle Frontier.
I used to trust Harmonix, then Rock Band 4 came out.
>>336685294
Iron Galaxy made a couple decent ports. Thats all.
>>336685431
But it was good
>>336685521
Too barebones, online is being sold as DLC, and I still don't have all the songs I paid for last gen.
>>336685343
>>336685397
Back when info was leaking form early buyers, the guy who discovered what happened was so mad he cursed in a different language
>>336685443
And they're making Killer Instinct after Double Helix did Season One
>>336685562
Fair enough I guess, I had a blast with it but I never cared for online and got all my (limited number of) DLC songs pretty quick so my experience is probably entirely different to yours.
Bethesda
If you don't buy into Tod's lies, they'll always deliver what you'd expect from a Bethesda game. There's not a single game from them that was lacking in content or size.

>>336685771
By that logic I could just as easily say you can always trust EA, since you know every game they release will be a disappointment

You can trust that they can't code for shit, sure
>>336685950
>>336685771
I feel like it's too early to say this for CDPR.
So far they've only worked on a single series of games, which - while all very good - were of highly variable quality in terms of the gameplay, and the last of which had a large visual downgrade they tried to deny. Plus they all drew significant inspiration from a series of novels, for the writing.
If Cyberpunk 2020 is good they'll have definitely earned it, though.

The best part is, they said it was because it was "too difficult for the current audience." In a world where they fucking ruined specific models for game modes that are perfect for Battle Frontier.

Anyway Nintendo EAD usually makes good games
>>336686373
The Battle Frontier was a collection of postgame battle facilities each with unique rulesets you need to follow to win (one forces you to use rental pokemon, another one decides battle round based ratings of strategies taken, etc.), that was introduced in Emerald way back during Gen 3. ORAS is a modern remake of Generation 3 but replaces the Battle Frontier with a direct copy paste of XY's Battle Mansion and sign that basically says "FUCK YOU" seen here: >>336685051
From Software, Platinum

>>336686975
what about it? It was great. Amazing multiplayer too.
>>336686975
A fantastic game that /v/ hates on because it received widespread critical acclaim while being a Sony exclusive and has fairly generic gameplay mechanics.

>What is Tembo the Badass Elephant

It fucking sucks that so many FPS still use the mouse to aim, right? I wish devs would stop being lazy and cease using such a generic mechanic
>>336684096
I think OP is right. You can trust gamefreak because you know exactly what you're going to get with every iteration of Pokemon.
>>336684543
(you)
>>336687970
but FPS were built to use the mouse aim, that wasn't the best analogy to use, that's like saying planes having wings is generic
>>336688095
Besides WoW they've been on a real roll lately.
>>336688157
>fps were built to use the mouse aim
Sure, that's why it took years for it to become the default mechanic for aiming - right?
>>336684313
This it hurts so much
Every dev whores out to consoles and mobile shit or you get early access crap on steam that never leaves alpha/beta
>>336688260
Yes, this is why the guys who made FPS jumped on board right away when mouses were becoming a thing. That analogy would be adequate if "generic gameplay mechanics" could be compared to the best control scheme for a genre, but they aren't exactly a positive thing to have.

>>336684543
They killed my SC2
>>336684629
That's a good one.
They don;t make their own games but they make good ports, so no DLC involved or season passes or stuff.
And they usually have a good number of games in them/cost less than new releases.
>>336684543
>killed Starcraft
>killed WoW
>HotS
>Hearthstone
>Overwatch
Yeah...nah. The only slightly redeemable thing they did was Reaper of Souls but that's not nearly enough to make up for everything else they've fucked up.
>>336688764
>What is Diablo 3
Easily the best game in the trilogy after the updates and expansion.
>What is Starcraft 2
A great RTS with a good campaign and multiplayer.
>>336688727
HoS is pretty fun as a casual timewaster (which is what it's meant to be), and while I admit HS is a fucking cunt to get into these days due to the grind it's the best video game CCG ever.
They are gud. Not excellent but gud enough.

Platinum, Gamefreak and Obsidian need to be moved to Neutral now
>>336686764
This is pretty good. You don't have to like Uncharted or The Last of Us, but you know what you're getting so I imagine it'd be hard to be disappointed.
>>336687749
/v/ loves Nier. Its gameplay was worse than TLoU's.
>>336692280
I'd put ubisoft into untrustworthy, but overall this is pretty solid
I trust them they will create and publish great games and then jew the shit out them 2 years later.
But hey, we get to enjoy the game for a while and they are good.

Valve have pulled some bullshit moves the last couple of years, I'd move them
>>336690364

>>336693482

>>336687145

>>336694024
I want Waystone back. They were cool for the short time they were alive. Fuck EA.
>>336694024
Sony does though. The Vita and PS4 are crushing the competition, and delivering some top quality games. Uncharted 4 is the Ocarina of Time for the 21 century, think about that for a moment.

I cannot wait any longer for this game. Their Kickstarter updates are so inconsistent.
>>336698945
Solid choice as well. They're batting 1.000 right now, 5/5. Their games have yet to contain bullshit DLC and, to my knowledge, their games haven't contained any graphical downgrades or crap like that.
Looking forward to their next title. Latest rumor said it's a planned 2017 release for NX and an original IP.

Yeah because the consumers have created a market where literally the greediest gaming companies are the most important and only ones that succeed.
If there where any ones that you could trust they probably wouldn't have made enough money to keep their games relevant during the 7th and 8th gen.

>>336699467
They improved a lot of things, specially the areas. The new weapons are a nice addition and driving around is satisfying.
The only real down side is the ending to the main quest line. All 3 outcomes sort of suck.
I could go in to more detail but it's a much better experience playing it.

Why is Double Fine bad on this list? I must have missed something. Also, move /v/ to untrustworthy.

>>336699943
They literally did nothing wrong there, besides listen too much to the critics and trying to make Part 2 more like an oldschool text adventure.
>>336699463
If you have access to the original physical releases of the first two games, your best bet is to play them through SCUMMVM; otherwise you should download the GOG.com digital versions.
For Exile, your only option is to play it through ResidualVM.
Revelations, Uru, and End of Ages all still work with modern systems.
Differences between the different versions of Myst and Riven:
Myst: the original game; the graphics are dithered to make them load reasonably on CD drives of the time; I believe its assets are used in the GOG.com release but I'm not sure
Myst Masterpiece Edition: Same as the original, except the graphics are undithered
realMYST: Myst, but with realtime 3D graphics and an extra Age to better bridge the gap between Myst and Riven
realMyst Masterpiece Edition: a graphical overhaul of realMyst
Riven: the original, 5-disc release; its assets are used in the GOG.com digital release.
Riven: released as part of the "Myst: 10th Anniversary" collection; comes on a single DVD and has higher quality renders
DO NOT GET ANY HANDHELD VERSION OF MYST

I don't think it's entirely their fault but it's kind of clear from them doing that is the fact that they can only do action beat em up games rather than any kind of action game.

>>336708724
Arms 3 is really just a massive overhaul f on arms 2
But really the reason I trust them is because of their stance on mods and dlc.
With their DLCs you can still play on servers that use them but you just have restriced access to them. Like with helos you can't ply them but you canxstil be a passenger, or with weapons you can still play in servers that use them but you just can't pick them up. However you can use them if you get them from the virtual arsenal. But you just get a watermark over your screen
