I thought it was quite apt, big bully trying to make off with a smaller, weaker individual.

And Joebob / shamikebab get a sense of humour, its like having two mary whitehouse type characters in this thread

Its got nothing to do with sense of humour, as I said I found the picture posting funny at first. But you've been spamming the forum all day. The GIF makes no sense in relation to the thread (what film is it any way?)

Ohhhh why go on about some girl ( photoshop) while EA is wants to ruin some of the greatest series of games .
They are the devil themselves.
I find the article and the idea's of EA far more offensive.

What series have they ruined? Lots of the EA games series or otherwise seem to be getting better and better.

Glad they rejected..

Why based on what, so far no one can give a series they ruined or any other reason other than it's EA. Thats like me saying the Xbox 360 is **** because I say it is.

Atleast offer up some reason or information as to why EA are such a big bad waste of space, other than not liking the company because of bad rehashes in 1996.

Every time I see a "name your fav games" or "games you would like to see remade" thread there are tons of old EA games building up those threads.

Command & conquer (generals & 3 tiberium wars).
Battlefield ( 2142).
Sim city ( soceiety's)
Need for speed ( carbon & prostreet)
Cryseries (Crysis)
Godfather the game.
sims series ( the hundreds of expansions)

I could go on.

Yay, go EA!

You couldn't. Most of those weren't made by EA, just published.

Ok, I have watched the, very imformative, "How to behave on an internet forum" instructional video now, so I know where I went wrong.

I need to avaoid the teenagers and grow a thicker skin apparantly!

Doesn't matter, ea forced them to release a game not finished by far, all games mentioned were just rushed coz of EA's influence.
If ea didnt influence *** sims I dare to bed there'd be at least 4 times less expansions and a single expansion would include a lot more content.

I mean renember all the problems BF2 has @ launch.
C&C3 too.
I renember C&C 3 had like 4 patches the week after it was released.

Yes he could EA as a publisher have forced many game developers to release rushed and unfinnished games.

Indeed they did.
If this happened to a GTA or Civilization game, it'd be a disaster.

That applies to just about every PC game I've ever played, EA or not. BF2 may have had problems but it was a highly regarded game.

Nintendo produce a **** load of dross. Yet that doesn't stop them making some of the best games around as well. The same is true of EA, as I said look through the 'classics' threads and you will find many EA games.

It's just fashionable for some reason to dislike EA. I've played as much crap from every other games company as I have from EA.

snowdog · 24 Feb 2008 at 22:39

Rubbish, I've played sins V1 for ages: Fine.
Vice, gta 3, SA, etc all V1 for ages: fine.
Same for Cod4 wich I initally finsihed fine on V1.0
HL2 too.
Company of heroes.
Civ4.
etc...

all didn't have major bugs like EA's games, wich were sometimes unplayable as V1.0.
Sure they had small bugs, but they don't really bother me.

San andreas v1.0 is still fine on pc, it's even essential if you want to go on samp or mtasa.

Ok then Bioware are **** too. Mass Effect was not finished by any means. Assassins crud was one level. Eidos **** commando's 3 was half finished, buggy and ruined the series.

Look at the rakes of pap sega have produced despite being a great games maker. Some may say sega rally revo papped all over a classic series.

Yet it's always EA that get the flak.

not true at all, it has been mentioned in many posts before mine, therefore while not being relevant to the topic title, it is relevant to the thread itself.

Never played it, don't have a console, can't comment.

Assasins creed was awesome imo, played it @ mates and was great.
Eidos always releases buggy games as long as I know them too.

Sega rally revo is awesome imo, I only don't play it because my gfx card is dieing on most games ( gpu core borked) but I'd play it daily if I could.

dannyjo22 said:

Because they seem to buy up manufacturers that previously did fine, and then after EA bougth them they ruin it.

I mean see what EA did and ruined the sim city series, all because they let someone else than maxis make it.

Ea took over crytek- Crysis boring as hell, while far cry was awesome.

Now I'm afraid that, GTA, wich never needed a patch on pc, will just become f ubar and need patches and stuff.

Whether you thought Assassins was good or not it was buggy as hell, sega rally revo although I liked it was widely regarded as a flop. Ok if you dont agree with that Sega car crash, what about the Sonic Series?

EA produce a lot of games, I certainly don't think they make any worse games than half of what nintendo churn out.

snowdog · 24 Feb 2008 at 22:57

I wouldn't know I'm a pc games, and as one, I completly ignore Nintendo

.
I couldn't really find bugs in Assasins creed in the time I played it.

But then again, I sohuldn't comment on this being a pc gamer, I'm just afraid the PC version of GTA IV will never come or will be bugged to hell and poorly coded, like a lot of the EA games usually are, but the Rockstar games really weren't.
