Which Dev Would You Follow Into Hell?

[Karoshi]

Obsidian. Their chances look pretty grim, but I hope project Eternity will bring them back into the industry. After all, no other company allows such diverse and interesting choices (not even Bioware) and they bring up very mature themes.

Valve. They are the perfect creators. I doubt anyone would even let them into hell.

Blizzard. Their games are polished until there is nothing left of them, have mediocre story and I still love them for some reason.

Obvious choices would be Valve and Gearbox being an FPS junkie. Their games has that quality that sets them apart from the others.

Another would be Ubisoft. Again they have their distinct style and i believe their work apart from the AC series are very underated. They clearly pack an intense combination of talent in their team. I believe they are mostly hold back by the management.

Why into Hell?
I think it is more suitable to follow a Dev in After-life in my opinion.

Anyway, my choices are:

Atlus: Shin Megami Tensei and Disgaea series for life!!!
Id Software: Doom, Quake, Heretic, Hexen, Rise of the Triad.
Valve: CounterStrike and Half-Life.
Blizzard: For the old games like Starcraft and the first two Diablo games.
Black Isle Studios: Motherf*cking Planescape: Torment!!!!!

And many others, but really these are my top choices I have noe in my head.

I'm surprised at the lack of love for Rockstar..

Chris Roberts.

And I would follow him out, too.

Are there any devs you've been a fan of for years that has yet to truly let you down? Discuss!

BioWare. Sure, the ending sucked, but it was five minutes of suck at the end of 120-ish hours of awesome fun. I'd call that a good trade.

Sure, Dragon Age 2 wasn't as good as the original, but they at least tried to do something other than copy/paste a successful formula, and I have faith that they'll learn from the mistakes of DA2.

Basically it's that I've never played a BioWare game where they hadn't significantly changed things from the prior installment. They get a lot of flak for that, but then series like CoD get a lot of flak for doing the opposite, so given the choice I'm going to support the guys who are at least trying to do new things each time.

I cant think of a single one sure there are devs I like but really its just I like some of their games not all their output. There are very few people I would follow into hell willingly let alone anything else, no dev is worth entering into eternal damnation and suffering for.

 

[FalloutJack]

Atlus Software, although technically between Shin Megami Tensei and Persona games, they've got it double-covered as is.

Now, let's have Persona 5 soon, hmm?

 

[Rumpsteak]

None. If I followed any developer in to hell I'd lose my chance to see new names rise to the pinnacle of critical acclaim.

 

[Norrdicus]

Obsidian, for reason already explained by many (plus I already donated $140 to Kickstarter, so I think I already AM following them to hell, in a sense)

CDProjekt (RED) for their currently nigh flawless track record in... well everything

Insomniac for giving me my favorite franchises on PS1 and PS2

"You look at bit down, Mr. Levine, everthing go alright with that nosey reporter? Aww, don't worry *grabs bat* that story won't make it to press! What? No! Don't you try and talk me out of this, you silver tongued devil, nobody's gonna take your great game narrative for granted on my watch! I'll be back in an hour or two. Have bleach and caustic soda... *walks off*"

"That's the last thing he said. I've never seen him since. I'm glad he's gone"

Insomniac, without a shred of doubt.

 

[momijirabbit]

Insomniac Games. Resistance is fun, Ratchet and Clank is the best thing ever.

Before i open this thread i took some time to practice my Clairvoyance powers [footnote] random guessing [/footnote] and deducted that I would see the word ?VALVe? a lot. And BEHOLD. I was right. And since I am a sucker for peer presure I will too say VALVe.

 

[Mister Six]

Atlus, Obsidian, and Paradox Interactive. Not only would I follow them into hell and back I'd carry their luggage.
Square-Enix and Bioware I'd wait outside the gates and hope and pray, but that's about it.
