And for the horrible horrible way they destroyed C&C, they still have their logo on Westwood's two best titles. RA2 and E:BFD. *Unfortunately they won't bring back Road Rash, bastards. Only sports does well and that is because of licenses and underhanded business practices. Their sport games are garbage. I'd take PES 12 over FIFA 12 anyday of the week.
I actually miss Konami's ISS, that was an amazing football game. The Madden series however can't be beat for quality for NFL games.
Quote:Also dead space was better than the sequel, sims is a joke now and need for speed is trash. Red alert beats RA2!
Both Deadspace games are EA based, the sequel may not have been as good as the first game but it's still brilliant. Sims was always a joke, yet it sells because it's the modern day equivalent of owning a dolls house.
RA was too unbalanced for me, RA2 seemed the more complete game. E:BFD beats them all though. |

I think having level 50 of every possible character in SWTOR would bore me to tears.
Give me Yoda (me and only me) and just maybe... EVE isn't on a single server. It amuses me to no end how even some Eve players get this wrong.
eve is on a single server. ( or server-cluster if you must ), bu that doesn't change what they're trying to say.
or if you mean eve_china, while very similar, it is a different game, and you can't play eve_china without a chinese identification number, if I remember correctly. So to even play it outside of chine requires some hoop-jumping at the very least. |

Also seeing as this is a bitching against EA thread, **** them for not putting ME3 on Steam and forcing me to either mail order thus not playing at Midnight, or ... using Origin.
Origin can go burn in napalm. |

You pay for that stuff?
Admittedly I've bought a couple of DLC's in my time, but because they came with such massive praise... that and I couldn't find them on torrents. |

That doesn't mean that this "veteran transference" idea isn't a good one, however. In fact, in theory it's the best idea I've ever heard for competing with Blizzard... well, aside from making MMOs that are actually good, but no developer seems capable of that anymore.
What they're really doing is trying to dupe players into giving up proprietary information on competitors' subscriber bases. You can bet they'll turn around and sell that information the first chance they get. |

I don't buy the ME DLC no, but now it is almost required... just check it out, either google or use neogaf, they have a thread about it or 2 even. DLC and microtransactions is the new game for 60+100's of dollars |

Had to laugh when i read this, EA is the fast food franchise of the gameing industry banging out Mc-Games that will never come remotely close to Eveonline. They don't have the talent or know how to compete with Eve. Thanks for the laugh EA, stick with your Mc-Games. |

Tbh, DLC for me is a hit or miss, I tend to wait for the reviews and see how long people get out of it. You can pay 4-5 quid for something that lasts 10-15 minutes and it sucks. You can pay 3-4 quid for something that gives you several hours of fun and has a post DLC consequence to it. The Shadow Broker DLC for ME2 was a good example of great DLC.

I just hate Origin. Its terrible.
There are plenty of already working programs just like it. It is pointless.
Last great thing from EA was... honestly can't think of anything. Other than SIMCity (original), but I can't remember if that was EA or if they just bought it later. |

True, and horse armor for oblivion was terrible lol also the dlc and stuff in DA 2 looked insane, yet ME3 is going to be worse in that area. I am done with companies trying to, sorry for being "frank" lol, screw over their customers, and they are screwing you over no matter how you look at it. |

You're comparing a company that makes small group multiplayer/single player games with a company who's to date released one game which is an MMO Sandbox.
That's like comparing apples and oranges. CCP has in it's time produced one awesome juicy apple, whereas EA has mass produced oranges, a fair number are crap, most are pretty good, but some are the best oranges you'll ever eat. |

EA is the way it is because it costs multiple millions of dollars to make triple AAA games and they have to answer to the people giving them the money.
Nobody (sane) is going to invest that kind of capital in something untested, so they tend to stick to formula.
Edit: Since some people seem to think that CCP is smarter/better than EA for some reason, remember CCP is the company that thought spawning scorpions for just their MT currency would be A-OK. They even convinced themselves the CSM gave its seal of approval too.
Until they realized what a steaming pile of **** their "awesome" graphics engine was, EVE was completely dead to them. Literally all it was going to be was market research and a beta for the upcoming Twilight Online. How's that for customer service? |

Had been anti-EA almost 95% since after C&C Generals. Been a CnC fan since... CnC DOS version man. When I found out when Generals was half made game and put that half in Zero Hour, I was shocked. No more chances ever since.
I didn't buy any of their games until few years back on steam. Sure they release some gems like Mass Effect and Battlefield series, which I got. But then my hatred went 100% last November. They hit the last straw. I did not buy BF3, and I do not even plan to buy ME 3. Despite I put many hours in BF: BC 2 and waited to play BF3 for over a year, making 5 different Sheppards for ME3, EA isn't getting a penny anymore from me.
It surprises me how ignorant people are, not knowing any history of EA, especially those got into gaming only 2-3 years back. I love would to see EA to bankrupt and die, but that ain't happening since people are still buying their games or doesn't understand what EA have for their reputation, and those same blind gamers are following into Origin.
Don't get me wrong, even with 5%, I would still get BF3 and ME3 on origin, but EA ...
I just wish developers stop making their games under EA brand, let alone publishing. |
