Naughty Dog. They make magical games.

I can't wait to play 'The Last Of Us'.
My thoughts exactly.

The fact that I brought a pre owned Wii so I could play Skyward Sword tells me that I will buy any Legend of Zelda that Nintendo put out. Even if I am enjoying Xenoblade Chronicles more at the moment.

ArenaNet - more specific guild wars 2.

I would also say valve, but I don't think I'm going to play CSGO

else no, I usually judge the product on its value to me, and not the company.

From Software. God I love those bastards. Also, to a lesser extent Atlus (do they count as developers?); I'll still ask questions but hearing that name massively increases the likelihood of me buying a game.

Black Isle and now Obsidian. Sure, their stuff is often buggy, and doesn't have the most amazing graphics but their stories are well made and very interactive, plus their gameplay mechanics are always very well thought out.

I would say the same of Troika, for the few games they've put out. Oh, and Generally Rockstar has my loyalty as well, they've let me down rarely enough that I assume the Rockstar logo means it will be fun. Oh, and Bioware, but I feel they get last mention as they are my least favorite out of this whole collection, their stuff is great, it's just... what I said earlier about Obsidian's games always featuring really well thought out, if buggy, gameplay mechanics, well I can't say that about Bioware, sometimes they get lazy or maybe just not creative enough, and their stuff is just as buggy... Still though, I love The Old Republic and pretty much all the Bioware games (though Dragon Age 2 made me want to cry, I don't want a Midevil Mass Effect, I want more Dragon Age).

Pretty much Valve. There are other companies I like better, but the fact that they release games so infrequently and all of them have been fantastic, I just have to buy whatever they come out with. They've never disappointed me.

Also, I'll buy whatever core Pokemon games come out and I pretty much have to get the Professor Layton games when they come out.

Valve is the obvious answer I guess. At this point CD Projekt Red is probably also on there. Rockstar, maybe? GSC, assuming that team lives on in some form.

Bethesda. They basically own the giant open world sandbox RPG genre so I'm sold.

I mean, I'm not saying they're the best thing ever, but their games are always worth playing.

Get out of my head!

Also JE Sawyer could sell me spiders to eat. The man is awesome. (He answered me on twitter and I actually had a fan girl squee moment. That is not me AT ALL)

Valve, and possibly double fine because they never make an "average" game even it has cons.

It has been said before and I'll say it again: Valve
No developer has that kind of quality in every game they make. Honorable mention goes to Team Meat, because I love Super Meat Boy and Binding of Isaac.

Bioware, Blizzard, possibly Valve, Maybe Bungie.

Even at their most dissapointing I have stayed roughly loyal to each of these companies, and probably will for quite a while.

Blizzard is about as sure fire as it gets. I can't think of a title they've released that I didn't love. Warcraft, Starcaft, Diablo, Lost Vikings were all gold.

I could almost certainly buy whatever project Titan today and be completely satisfied whenever it's release...despite having no more information than that it's a video game of genre/IP unknown being worked on by Blizzard.

That said, I've never actually bought a game without actually researching it and learning about it thoroughly in advance.

BioWare and Obsidian. That's about it, really. I've played every Zelda game (except Spirit Tracks. I'll get to it eventually, but I didn't like Phantom Hourglass), but I don't try out most of Nintendo's output nowadays.
I will warn you right now, if you did not like phantom hourglass you will despise spirit tracks. Hourglass is one of my favorite ds games, spirit tracks one of my least. The train riding is the most monotonous thing I've ever done in a game outside of mmo's.
It had more to do with the dull temples, bosses, and main antagonist. Sailing was tedious, but I just put the DS down while that was going on and browsed the internet until I either got to the destination or something intercepted me.

But that one god damn temple...
I'm surprised I even finished the game. It's the only Zelda game I don't like (except for possibly Spirit Tracks, obviously, since I haven't played it).

Blizzard probably. So far there hasn't been any title I knew of I haven't bought. Some of them several times (back when everything was on CDs that could break).
Edit: Exception of Lost Vikings(I've played it though) and the original Warcraft title (I think).

So sad that Ghost was cancelled. Looked just like my kind of shooter.

Troika? I forgot them, well, another for my list!

PH is also one of the only ones I don't like. That one and Majora's Mask. I've played all the others up to Skyward Sword and Spirit Tracks (haven't had a chance yet) and my favorites are Wind Waker, Link to the Past and Oracle of Ages.
