Can EA be stopped??

Didn't they already get Pandemic?

Though I'm a devout fan of the Battlefield series (especially BF2, BF2142 and BF2:SF) EA are fucking idiots. They don't listen to the public at all. They're so corporate it's disgusting. There's just no love for games in the higher echelons of their management at all. just looking for the $$$. The developers must feel like idiots. It's already well documented that DICE are under pressure to whack the games out, with a "satisfy demand, patch it later" ethic. The newer management forced out half of the best employees at DICE anyway after they had brought and then destroyed the team that did the 1942 mod and worked on BF2 in the early - mid stages.

You play a GTA game and you know it's love that has gone into it. The publishers TT have a close relationship with the team back here in the UK to get things worked out and it's been perfect so far. From top own days till the awesome San Andreas and the greatest game ever Vice City (80's nuts unite!)... You don't just get the game, you get the music, the scene itself immerses you, the banter on the radio, the adverts, the voices from professionals and sometimes HUGE names even the websites they do for the products / various things in the game themselves just add to the experience.

If EA got their hands on it. It would be just another "Getaway, Driver 3 etc." Games which may have their fans or may be ok, but is nothing on the level of GTA.

We all know EA was a huge plus for the genesis. But I think EA has Sega and the genesis to thank for their success. Not the other way around.

Need for Speed 3 is my favorite Electronic Arts game for Playstation. Other than that not a fan of their newer stuff. SIMS games are decent for PC thats all i give them credit for

I don't recall ever owning any Electronic Arts / EA game. Though I think I will get Soviet Strike for my Saturn and The Immortal for my Genesis soon.

EA's company structure has changed since the new leadership last year. The acquisition of third party developers doesn't work the same way, and recently publicly admitted the mistake of simply absorbing developers like Bullfrog and Westwood. The recent buyout attempts are a response to the merger between Activision and Vivendi (they only use the name Blizzard for its brand recognition) who are now the biggest players in the industry. If anything, Activision has filled the void left by the old "evil" EA.

Sure, there's the constant output of Maddens and Sims expansions, but they only do that because people actually buy them, and when you look at the target demographic these people aren't really prone to buy any "real" games anyway, so more power to them I guess.

My God the Sims is a tosh game.
I would, however, forgive all and buy the game if they released a "Sims lesbians" expansion pack.

It's easilly the best of the very few good EA titles on the system, you will enjoy it

I'd agree with this, except that all that readily available porn on the internet says I shouldn't.



EA related tangent:

Damn Criterion Games for taking out "Road Rage" in both "Burnout Revenge" and the new game.

That's why I said it sucked.

I hate EA for life. That crap they pulled with the nfl is just sickening. I like the boxing games they put out, but i just wish 2k games would do boxing games instead so I wouldn't have to support EA. I hate in fight night how they only give you like a couple of boxers to choose, why no mike tyson or joe lewis or rocky marciano, or even that giant russian guy who boxes now Nickolei Valuev, all they have is like roy jones jr and some guys. Thank god they put marvin haggler and sugar ray(both) in the games or i would have been really ticked.

Thats the side effect of scaling it down.

Cropped, but regular size:


Live with it until I become bored with it.
