EA: Crysis 3 and Dead Space 3 did not meet expectations

after playing Crysis 2, I was literally not interested immediately in Crsis 3, even if it was better. I mean setting it in New York? really? That was an instant no, because I already had a city landscape Crysis. How bout setting it somewhere else? like Space or something or India? Or I would of gone for Peru , or just something else.

Is it me or are EA's games getting shorter and shorter?

well Dead Space 3 was a okay game for me...

but serious.. Crysis 3 was just a show-off really.

Crysis 3? Never heard of it. o_O

I wonder how much of this is simply because they did not release them on steam? I actually didn't buy it on PC because I did not want to deal with Origin, so I rented it at a redbox for the PS3 ($5 to finish the game). How much bad press does EA get already, and they want people to trust that Origin will always be around like we know Steam will?

The problem with EA was that they released all of these games within a couple weeks of each other. They basically cannabilized themselves. Had they actually spaced out their releases, especially since the next couple months are going to see yet another dry spell of hardly any games, they may have been met with more success and people willing to fork over more money.

I'm glad Dead Space 3 didn't meet their wild expectations. While it's a great game, they've lost my respect by not putting any effort into fixing the bugs that thousands have been complaining about since the games release, on ALL platforms. Tomb Raider barely has any bugs and has recieved about 4 updates. DS3 has at least 3 major bugs I can think of and no updates for all this time its been out. What EA/Visceral? Simply because your sales expectations fall short you must abandon all customer support? It's not worth it? Honestly, go out of business already, we won't miss you.

That's because both franchises are played out you corporate dummies!

so what were the numbers did they want for each game ?/ hell they still be selling,

the whole thing is like the metallica black album, made their music shitter to target the masses disregarding those who bought their music in the first place. respect in turn was lost.

Maybe you shouldn't ruin the Dead Space series next time, and it'll meet expectations. But then, why would EA worry about that.

Crytek should compare Crysis 3 with Far Cry 3 and see where they went wrong. Even after superb reviews and huge sales, Ubisoft didn't call FC3 their 'masterpiece', oh how deluded you are Cevat.

its not gamers fault that you dont allow value to be put into your games, you have yourself to blame

Ok, first thing what is with people in here complaining about micro transactions...you don't need to pay a dime extra to beat the game so what the f**k are you complaining about that crap for? DLC is extra stuff if you want to experience you buy, other than that it isn't needed. You ass clowns piss me off with this DLC should have been in the game from the start, if that mess wasn't needed to complete the game then it didn't have to be included as part of the main game and EA is within their right to sell it as an extra because it is.

It's incredible hearing this micro transaction flap, when none of it is actually warranted since the main game you purchased you can beat without spending a penny over the purchase of the new game. There is a market for DLC so EA wants to make money off it, but don't complain about it if it has zero bearing on your gaming of said game. Bunch of jealous crybabies upset because others have money to spend on extraneous gameplay and blame the publisher for charging you money for extra stuff that wasn't part of the main game nor was it free to produce.

Now the fact that both these games did poorly goes to show that you can't stray too far from your formula without repercussions in the case of Dead Space 3 and well Crysis 3, um, that game is boring and has always been...just might as well just remain a bloody tech demo showing of visuals since it lacks substance. Short easy to complete games are bad, you reach the crescendo to quickly and you are left with a wanting more but there is none. Honestly after playing the demo Crysis 3 I wasn't at all wowed by it since it felt like Halo, everyone looked like the same bio enhanced freak with a penchant for murder but it brought nothing with it that made the game something different. Honestly will all the emphasis on social gaming why the hell aren't there more multiplayer co-op designed games? I recently played the FUSE demo and it was a tad underwhelming but it has multiplayer co-op, which I hope the developer capitalizes on and scales difficulty of the AI to match higher ranked and human players and forces more team based objective gameplay. One battle was versus two humanoid armored units and I could see utilizing the specific operatives abilites in tandem would greatly increase the chances of dispatching the enemy units, that is only if the developer takes it to that level of cooperative play. I will be watching this game as it progresses as it seems a bit more intuitive than the usual one man army slew of games we've been force fed for the past 20 years.

Shame. Crysis 3 was great compared to Crysis 2 and even close to the quality of the first game. While the game campaign was short, it had a great story, gameplay, voice acting and stunning music. Sure it may not one of the best but definitely not a bad shooter as many believe.

Crysis used to be interesting.

The one thing I really missed in Dead space 3 was the dismemberment, you don't really have to dismember the necromorphs like before, you can just shoot them and they will die anyway, I wonder if anybody else noticed this????

And of course the horror, it has some good moments but not enough, I think the story and the visuals are very good, the weapon crafting systems is good but there comes a moment where you feel to overpowered and the enemies don’t seem to keep up, there are a lot of things that make the game feel less than the other two…….

It has several modes that unlock once you finish the game, still have to try them, maybe classic mode will be more of my taste

Well, they lost a sale/preorder for DS3 as soon as they announced day 1 DLC.

I stopped preordering or buying them as soon as they come out. I will wait until a few months when the price drops & there is a sale on DLC

I'll still check out DS3 when the GOY Edition comes out at $20. I'd rather wait and receive all the paid content at a reduced price. I don't like being nickel and dimed or feeling as if I've paid full price for an incomplete experience. I've got patience EA.

That's odd, the shovelware crap they keep throwing out didn't sell well? Maybe if they had put an ounce or two of imagination into them instead of cracking the whip at the developers and not allowing them any freedom at all...

You can't impose strict fiscal year based deadlines and expect a game to be successful. God I hope these last few months have taught EA something.

Crysis 3 was sub par plain and simple. One of the Biggest Disapoinments this year

DUH
