So, for background, there is a cannel on youtube called Cinema Wins, if you have not heard of him you should probably look him up. (kind of the exact opposite of Cinema Sins actually) and...well, for his videos he has certain people he likes that are 'always a win'. For instance 'Alan Rickman is Always a Win'.
So, I want to create a video game list. This can be anyone (or anything) in the video game industry, VAs, devs, characters, that are 'always a win' or always do their job so well that they always enhance the overall work.
So, for mine:
Composers:
Trevor Morris is Always a Win.
Voice Actors:
Alix Wilton Regan
Tom Taylorson
And Jennifer Hale
is always a win.
Writers:
Patrick Weekes is always a win.

The only person who really comes to mind is Yuka Kitamura, one of the composers for the Dark Souls 2, Bloodborne, and Dark Souls 3 soundtracks. If you like dramatic orchestral tracks, then you should check her stuff out. |

Until Andromeda I would have naively said Bioware...
Maaaybe Bethesda but I've only played two of their games so far, so that's not saying much.
I don't really have a always win list. None of the composers or writers or actors I do like a lot always produce something I like. Hell, there isn't even a single album I like all songs of! The idea of somebody always meeting my taste 100% seems silly. But apparently others do have such artists to always fall back on. Huh.

Not really knowledgeable with VAs, but I found Jennifer Hale easy to recognize and very easy to pick as character voice.
Even considered buying Long Dark because of her. Crazy?

Writers: they always fuck up at some point and it might not even be their fault but the producers/publishers
Studios: Blizzard. Personally I'm not actually into their games that much... but purely from a production quality and economic point of view pretty much everything they put out there is a success.

What would always a win lists be without: Dev/Publisher: Bay 12 Games They might not make very accessible games, but for that juicy procedural generation so many reach out for, they've pulled off some amazing worldbuilding. The story of Boatmurdered is one highlight of gaming stories. |

Composer: Marty ******* O Donnel! The dude is a music genius and halos music went 👎 Ever since he left. Seconded. Halo's scores, from Combat Evolved to Reach, were quite arguably the best in the industry. I still listen to them on occasion. My pick for a Composer has to be Mick Gordon. He's responsible for the hardcore epicness that is DOOM's soundtrack, as well as the new Wolfenstein games. His head-banging tracks always bring a good smile to my face. Always a win. |

Adam Skorupa. Every game he's worked on, I like the music. Environment art by Ubisoft, CDPR and Rockstar is all top tier. I'm talking aesthetics and immersion. They get it right every time. Sound design by DICE is always good.
