Say something nice about EA if you can

[Gone Rampant]

Hmm... Well, EA do publish games Activision wouldn't dare to (Dead Space, Mirror's Edge, etc), so I'll give them that.

But Origin? Nope, never gonna like it.

The buyout happened in Oct 2007, the game was released Nov 2007.

The first game was still published by Microsoft, though. Rather thank EA for porting Mass Effect to the PC as well as publishing its sequels on PS3 and PC.

I really have no strong opinion on EA. It's a company, it's producing a lot of games and that's about it. They and their various studios are responsible for some truly great games as well as a lot of mediocre and shitty ones... but that's pretty much the same for all big game companies.

Instead of complaining about EA all day, I rather go and buy their good games while avoiding the bad ones or the titles I'm just not interested in.

I like how their logo changes depending on what game it's appearing in.

That is nice actually now that I think of it.

I personally liked the Medal of Honor reboot and it's more authentic (read authentic, not realistic) and toned down approach to the modern war shooter and found it thoroughly enjoyable as a piece of entertainment.

I also liked how they gave free maps out for buying Bad Company 2 new or buying an online pass, rather than just taxing £8 to play online if you bought it used.

I don't really hate EA, I just wish they were less stupid these days.

i like how they used to be nice people and used to have nice games...think thats as nice as i can be to them these days

Actually, we can thank Microsoft for funding the first game.

EA only bought the rights after it was succesfull.

Okay then, I'll change my wording then.

EA didn't fund shit untill ME1 had proven a succes.

Better?

And that's not what I was correcting, he was saying EA bought out VG Holdings after Mass Effect was a success, when in reality it was before, during development.

Okay then, I'll change my wording then.

Still incorrect, as there was funding for Dragon Age: Origins which was still in development then, as well as SWTOR and a bunch of others.

Me and my bad choice of words. I was refearing to Mass Effect.

 

[Cazza]

I really liked Mirror's Edge. I wanted more I still want more.

 

[zf6hellion]

They gave us something to hate more than Activision.

Haha. Is that good though?

Does saying they make a lot of money count as a good thing? Nope. Well, damn.

I like that they have the gravitas to be completely truthful in how much they hate the current gamer... I guess?

 

[Slash Dementia]

I like the "EA Games, challenge everything" sayings, or other sayings from EA games. Also, I think they'd destroy me at Monopoly.

They've also published a lot of good games.

 

[w9496]

I like a lot of their games that they develop/publish. Rock Band, Madden, Dead Space, Mass Effect, and a whole slew of others are great and well-made games.

I don't really have a big problem with EA, so I guess All I can say is nice things.

 

[renegade7]

They were a big player in popularizing the video game industry back when it was still an incredibly niche market.

 

[K84]

Thanks EA, for giving me:

- Mass Effect
- Dead Space
- Crysis
- Dragon Age
- Rock Band

Love these series.^^

 

[Truniron]

EA-sports (if that counts). They have some good games.

 

[Matt King]

ohh fuck i'm gonna need a bomb shelter after this, i like ea, i personally have never had any problems with them (ok their advertising department is pretty stupid) they have been at least partially responcible for some of my favourite games (dragon age, mass effect)
they also put origin up as a way to expand their market

this is just from my experiences i'm sure other people have had worse but i don't think they deserve as much shit as they get

 

[saintdane05]

Even if the yare totally evil, they still make pretty damn good games.

 

[Rex Fallout]

They published Mass Effect.

Which they then helped drive into the ground...

They uh... aren't the super devil. I mean they are still Satan, or at the very least the spawn of Satan, but they aren't the super devil. Yet.

 

[Canadamus Prime]

Ummmmmmm..... they're consistent. Consistently douchbags, but still consistent.

 

[Hawk eye1466]

I like how they haven't done anything to make everyone at DICE leave and then have the remnants of that company shit out a game that was only a shell of what it was supposed to have in terms of single player multi player and balance to appease insane fans that demand a yearly release.

I also love battlefield so I'm glad it hasn't been run into the ground so I guess I can't complain about them honestly I can't remember the last thing they did that pissed me off I need to get out more.
