Guys this is such bullshit, don't listen to it.
EA would never do something like this, go buy SSX and Battlefield 3, they're quality games and that's what EA is about.




updated: 14.01.2012

playing right now: Xenoblade Chronicles

Hype-o-meter, from least to most hyped:  the Last Story, Twisted Metal, Mass Effect 3, Final Fantasy XIII-2, Final Fantasy Versus XIII, Playstation ViTA

bet with Mordred11 that Rage will look better on Xbox 360.

When you have most gamers troll them for their shitty business practices then they gotta do something... They have some pretty bad practices going on like requiring internet to play, milking some of their franchises, buying smaller studios and turning their work of art into crap, having you create a LIVE account just to play GTA4 on Steam - wtf??, etc...   Maybe if they handled their older ips right then I would give them more respect. What the fuck happened to Road Rash, Desert Strike, Magic Carpet, General Chaos, etc...? Don't worry about bringing them back EA you would probably just fuck them up anyways.

The first post that I made on this site was talking shit about EA.  The EA thread died after my post and luckily I didn't get banned from my first post.



I WANT that job.

Microsoft used to do this A LOT back when they were launching the first Xbox, and they did it for a few years after. I'm sure they still do it, but it was really obvious and bad around this time.

Sony hired a fucking ARMY (more like ten armies) to furiously defend the PS3. Just remember the horrible stink on Sony's console, and how just seemingly overnight there were more people defending the PS3 than the 2 other systems combined.

It was Sony's army against the other armies of paid trolls. It was an all out Troll War!



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

Currently playing:

Final Fantasy VI (iOS), Final Fantasy: Record Keeper (iOS) & Dragon Quest V (iOS)     

    

Got a retro room? Post it here!

I know a lot of companies to do this.. there is special software on the market which tracks every twitter hastag, facebook ikes, all other social media stuff in one place 24/7.. when something bad is being said about their company or products there will be a warning and they have their users go into the thread/twiiterfeed etc and post positive responses, even goverments do this.. social media control is big business now

This doesnt seem true EA are great!

and remember you can get Battlefield 3 now for 39.99, and what this Call of Duty still 59.99!!


You damn paid EA troll!!  I found another one!



Yeah so what.

We don't even get paid and we do it due to some nonexistant allegience to certain games/franchises/companies.

Big deal.



I always knee this was an actual job.
I wonder how liable a company is to divulge their information, or whether they could be sued if caught with it.



The whole BF3 is the greatest game ever COD:MW3 is complete shit threads were always kind of suspicious considering both games were multi-platform and it was rare to get such obnoxious in your face threads like that in the past for such games.

Take a look at the following Metacritic pages and look at the scores...

Im sorry but bf3 is easily the better game, cod plays like butter on metal; ie theres nothing solid.
for people who know, its like a sixaxis compared to a dualshock. The sixaxis is nice, but theres no weight, it just doesnt feel like it has quality.
imo anyway
i feel like his is some kind of reverse troll to make people think cod haters are paid by ea.
