I have finally found something everyone on this board will agree to.

ELECTRONIC ARTS SUCKS!

http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3161699


Cloning Madden every year and pimping it on every platform conceivable was not enough for EA now they will use brute tactics to force people into buying roster updates they call "new games".

I've had it with EA from this day on I will no longer buy another EA game not Madden not Burnout not even freakin awesome lookin Crysis.

EA I hope you become the Enron of video game industry someday and burn in hell!

I'm out peace.

EA are what every company would be like had they been as succesful. Its the way of the world, get over it.

They will keep rehashing need for speed, sports games, sims e.t.c. because they know people will lap it up, and to be honest i don't blame them. We as consumers have control over them and what they remake e.t.c. so i don't see how its their fault

I was ticked off at the fact they wouldn't give us 360 users balance patches for CnC3. It just goes to show how lazy their devs are...

Yes, EA sports games areall the same. ButCommand and Conquer and Battlefield are pretty Godlike IMO. So I'm not ready to bash EA just yet.

Why just cause they keep making rehashes? Its not their fault. We are the ones who keep buying them. If we didn't buy them then they wouldn't make it.

They are making a lot of money. The gaming industry is a market.

Therefore EA = win.

Besides, I love me some of their games.

You needed any more of a reason to not buy EA games beyond the fact that they're absolute garbage, bested in every way by a competitor?

I like a lot of EA games, but your right. EA should stop making one of the most successful games ever (Madden) because you don't like it :roll:

Switch your title to EA SPORTS sucks, and I'm with you. EA Sports is nothing but a cash cow, let's stop being suckers and buying incremental sports games like tiger when they put little to no effort into improving them.

How about I don't and instead continue supporting EA's good games while not buying their annual sportsgames? Sounds like the more logical option to me. Oh well, good luck with not supporting awesome looking games like Burnout Paradise, Mercenaries 2, Crysis, Battlefield: Bad Company, Mirror's Edge and Spore then...for no good reason.

After Battlefield 2 and EA's horrible support, crappy patches, 20 booster pakcs. etc... I'll never buy a game from them again. Not only that their crappy sports games, and the fact they couldn't handle the competition they just decided to get exclusive deal with NFL. It's funny when that EA guy at E3 said he was getting bored at video games, because of sequels and innovation. lol has he taken a look at his own company?

I forgot about Spore anyway that is the only game I'll get from EA ever, that and crysis lol.

No, it's made by DICE. EA's the publisher. Just like Crytek is making Crysis. EA is just publishing it.

A HUGE majority of their games are terrible yet sell very well and actually push system sales. Command and Conquer 3 is the only game I know that was developed by them and rocked so I will only boycott their licenced games, NFS, and sports games.

i just think that EA has a few games they put a lot of effort into, but they have some abysmal efforts. any of their sports games can go die, they're horrible. they also milk too much and expect too much money for what theymake.

I'm not going to boycott soemthing merely because they 'suck' according to many other people. If they make a game I want I'll buy it. If they don't make a game I want then I won't buy them. I'm not into EA sports game anyways. However I do like a few of their games and I refuse to boycott them merely because another person is unhappy with them.

It's hard not to buy an EA game when they just buy every developer.

EA developed games can go in the trash bin but Criteron, DICE, and Crytek....

actually, sims is more an expansion paradise but the real sims as in sims one and sims two by itself are good.
