EA is evil

Well, for me, they bottlenecked SlightlyMad Studios, the devs of the r=most recent NFS game, Shift.

Because the studio had to stick to the yearly NFS release schedule set by, ahem, EA, the game was severly lacking in areas where this developer excels at, namely the simulation elements of driving games. SlightlyMad are mostly comsisted of the people who made GTR2, that there great racing sim.

Thankfully, the physics in Shift seem to have come out OK, but the game is still far from what the studio is capable of.

In most cases I have no beef with EA, but that one just struck me whil reading

They ruined the Medal of Honor series(in terms of gameplay issues story line). The Harry Potter games are retarded. Need for Speed could be better.

#23

My biggest problem is that kids today are growing up with Modern Warfare 2. For chrissakes. Just think about that.

#24

Good god, this could lead to some seriously unforseen cosequences.

#25

wrong game bucko

#26

How dare you call it wrong in the face of MW2.

I don’t have anything big against EA cause Deadspace is badass, but I’ve got to say, Red Alert 3 has smashed STALKER and Tomb Raider Underworld as the shittiest game I’ve ever played. The fucking plot was made by a ten year old. It made me want to puke my guts out.

But I must say I enjoyed NFS Carbon, and though NFS Shift could have been better (needs moar cop chases) it was still pretty fun. Oh, and be the cop mode in NFS Hot Pursuit was epic.

You know that DS2 is gonna be less horror and moar Moorhuhn, right?

Just because of EA :meh:

It’s down to opinion. I really like the Road course racing in Shift, instead of the street racing. But at the same time, I really like Most Wanted too:3

Hmm, might have just sold me on that…

#31

Bad Company 2 and Mirrors Edge were really good.

#32

Bad Company 2 is awesome. Mirror’s Edge had an interesting concept… but failed to meet expectations.
I hope that the sequel is an open world game, to fully make use of the “free running” concept. Plus, the art style is just too awesome to restrict to linear levels.

#33

I disagree. I think they develop/publish/market great games. But their customer service sucks major donkey balls.

#34

Activision is much worse.

#35

I tend to agree with this… EA used to be more evil than Commie-Nazi paedophiles (bastards) but they seem to have got better

Activision have set about raping guitar hero though…

#36

Red Alert 3 Disappointed me, too but I don’t think it was that bad

#37

I didn’t think it was out yet?

#38

Red alert 3?

#39

They did a terrible job of porting the orange box to PS3.
No trophies??? :fffuuu: Poor show EA…

Yeah, RA3, I never thought it was out.
