I just really don't get the point of hating EA.  They don't do any more wrong than any other of the big 3 (EA, Act, Ubi), and they make some of the best games.

Bitch all you want people, but they gave us MOH, BF, ME, DA, Crysis (1), Mirror's Edge, and countless other games others besides me have enjoyed.  Complain all you want people, I am gonna go play some good games!


What the fuck are you even talking about?... o.o

You acted like this game "Redeems" EA with that one statement.  I am just saying that it shouldn't just be this game that makes them seem like a decent publisher.

I gauruntee the PS5 comes out after only 5-6 years after the launch of the PS4.

Publishing good games doesn't mean shit. All that credit goes to the developer. What you're basically saying is that I should praise EA because studios they bought made good games? They are still not totally trustworthy and if you can't see that then that's your problem.

Look I don't give a shit about EA.  I am just saying that good games are good games, and criticizing EA is pointless.  At the end of the day they publish some of the best games.  Play them or miss out.

The problem with EA is that you must hope that the devs of good games be strong enough to resist EA attempts to ruin them with some annoying policies.

You mean like Ubisoft's Gameworks and rushed AC games?  Or how Activision continues to churn out Cod's even though quality is clearly suffering with most of the releases?

 

Again, I am not trying to defend EA per say.  But I fail to see how they are any worse than the others.  If a game is broken, blaime the developer.

Are you serious right now? You say you "don't give a shit" about EA when you're obviously sticking up for them where they're wrong. Chances are when a game is broken it's the Publishers fault for rushing developers to meet deadlines like EA did with Battlefield 4.

How could you possibly know that?

Dice has a long history of releasing broken games.

EA is in good company for sure, but about broken games, well, if I know the dev is crappy, or talented, but lazy and sloppy, yes, it's likely the one to blame, but talented and neither sloppy nor lazy devs are more likely to cause delays if the game's not ready, and in that case publlishers are more likely to push them to release broken games.
