EA in a Nutshell

chris1neji · 05 Jun 2012

I am an average gamer not too hardcore, I own a PS3 and a Desktop that I use to play games.

I have played Dragon Age 1 and 2, BF3, Sims 3. I like the games that they published. I LOVE BF3. It's one of my favorite FPS games, you can play on foot, air, vehicle it's fun.

They have great titles, i have never heard of them bribing for reviews.

I have learned one thing about gaming though, it's a hobby and not a cheap hobby. On average a person can spend at least $300 to 1,000 a year. Depending on how many games they buy aside from any extra peripherals and hardware. These companies are in it for the money, video games are a business. What we CAN DO! Is vote with our wallets.

So far my favorite game I bough this year is Heavy Rain for PS3. The same people who made Heavy Rain are going to make Beyond, Two Souls. I can't wait for it.

The problem here is that 1 or 2 out of 10 vote with their wallet... the rest don't even vote because they are using Mommy's wallet!

I always wait for the prices to come down on new releases, and I buy
discounted or second-hand games at sales etc.

But I will not buy ANY game that forces me to go online, either to play
the game OR to 'validate' it.

Nor will I buy a game that relies on paid DLC or requires a subscription
in order to play it.

I do not game online, and have no intention of doing so.

Agree with you on that one.

You think that EA sucks... check out this kill cam from the latest Ubisoft jewel (Ghost Recon Future Soldier)

This is futuristic alright, I seem to recall seeing that in the first G.I. Joe Movie!
