@Chuck Renninger your comment makes little to no sense to me, why is E3 ruining the gaming experience and I definitely don't think gamers are becoming less intelligent
The WiiU is actually a good console it just has some problems, mostly the marketing that Nintendo has done for it. To me it felt like Nintendo itself wasn't exited about this console, so why should i care? They launched it without really having a lot of big hitting games coming out this year, and even now I can't get myself exited for the games that are coming out, I mean Smash Bros looks great and Mario kart too but I think the problem is there aren't any new great IPs. Nintendo relies to heavily on their old franchises, don't get me wrong they are all great but we need something new. Until now it feels like the WiiU is a 300€/$ update of the Wii that just offers HD and the Gamepad and I think for a lot of people this is just not good enough if we get only rehashes of the same games that we already have for the Wii.
Again we have the perfect example of someone that just doesn't get it! If the Xbox would really go fully digital what point is there of owning a console then, you could just have a gaming pc. Consoles are more about a special gaming lifestyle, to share games, to own them, to being able to resell them and borrow them to friends and for me most importantly if we do what some of these people are suggesting we lose something special, the chance to pick up one of these consoles in 20 years and get some of the nostalgia back! I mean am I the only one that picks up an old NES sometime to play or goes to a flea market to buy old games? That would be gone forever if we only use digital games that are tied to one account.
@SirNormanislost you are right EA didn't make the games but do you really think EA wasn't involved at all? They probably had a say in everything that was going on. Again I don't want to bash EA here, they did a lot of things right, and ME3 was a great game and they had a lot of other good games I'm just saying you should be able to criticize when criticism is needed and on the other hand you shouldn't bash a company for no reason. I see why they came out with this new Star Wars game announcement now but I agree with some people that they should have waited for a teaser until a later point but again it doesn't really change anything.
Ok correct me if I'm wrong but the former EA CEO who pushed out a lot of games just for cash is defending the guy who nearly ruined Xbox and signed a 40million $ contract with Zynga. That's really weird right? That being said he actually has a point...
I don't know if I should be exited about this or not. I mean I love the the Battlefront games but EA has a spotty track record in my opinion. @Oozyrat I agree with a lot of your points but I still think that you should be able to criticize a company when they made mistakes, I agree that a lot of people whine for no reason but sometimes you just have to say something like the ME3 ending(I still think it's a great game). In this particular case I think they rushed the game because they knew all the people that bought 1+2 will also buy the 3rd game no matter what and the rest won't start playing the 3rd when they haven't played the other 2 so they wanted to push it out as fast as possible to cash in. It looks like they will take their time with Battlefront which is good but I will still stay suspicious when it comes to EA.
