Hopefully EA wakes up, makes better and innovative games, and gives back the Disney Star Wars license thing, it doesn't do them great and is probably expensive to maintain.

You hold EA's board to a standard that is much too high

Not just board. Seeing how NFS Payback was made, it felt like it was made by a team of overeager developers who are full of ideas but have no clue how to actually implement any of them on top of a fact not a single one of them ever played any NFS game ever. Pair that with board ideas of how to shove more loot shit into games and you get 90% of current games...

I remember getting BF3 for free then finding out there's lots of "packs" just like COD.

Battlefield Bad Company 2 was a great game imo. I wished they continued it.

Bad Company 2 was the last in the series I bought, and thoroughly enjoyed!

I remember helping a friend upgrade from his Athlon X2 4200, and GTX 8800 320MB so he could play that game well.

Cant keep ripping off people left right and center eventually enough people are going to realize this even the idiots which pay for microtransactions. The problem with greed is it never stops and it allways wants more and more.

I know. I know. It could just be wishful thinking or sentiment... I miss Mass Effect, the old NFS, Dead Space, the old C&C, etc., ...

You can bark like a dog, but that won't make you a dog.

You can act like someone you're not, but that won't change who you are.

 

Finished Crysis without a discrete GPU,15 FPS average, and a lot of heart

 

How I plan my builds -

Spoiler

For me I start with the "There's no way I'm not gonna spend $1,000 on a system."

Followed by the "Wow I need to buy the OS for a $100!?"

Then "Let's start with the 'best budget GPU' and 'best budget CPU' that actually fits what I think is my budget."

Realizing my budget is a lot less, I work my way to "I think these new games will run on a cheap ass CPU."

Then end with "The new parts launching next year is probably gonna be better and faster for the same price so I'll just buy next year."

The best NFS I have is Hot Pursuit 2010. I love that game and it's simple. The newer ones are a bunch of crap that shines way too much, too reflective and full of shit in terms of HUD and all. Why did they fuck up the NFS franchise? I also have NFS game for PSVita but I think that game has been rushed too fast because you can not change controls!!!

 

I remember back when GTAV got released and got 1b in 3 days? One of those FPS companies, either from EA, Dice or Blizzard or God knows which of them and they said something like "We could have done it better and made 1b in less than 3 days". I mean, are you fucking kidding me? That simply proves how cocky that sounds, too much pride and too high on horse. Fast forward to today and look at them. The way how they treat their customers: they deserves the stocks takes a nosedive.

Well considering EA's options are either get their shit together or continue being shitty until someone buys them or they go broke, I think it's a fair bet they'll get their shit together and their value will increase. In other words, now might be a good time to buy some shares.

Let DICE make BF2143. I'd play it, if they did it right. Make games that are decent, listen to the people buying your games. They told people if they didn't like it, to not buy it, and that's exactly what people did.
