EA (Electronic Arts)

Opinions on EA?

I think they suck. They want the money. You buy their crap product for like $50 and it's not even worth it. Also, Origin sucks.

So, what do you think about this "company"?

I only like Fifa from them. So yeah...

 

[Swiftstream]

some of their games are good. But i agree, they do ask for a TON of money for their games x)

i bought the sims 3 and i still never played it oops

I enjoy some of the games that EA snakes it's way into, but my main problem is that they force so much pressure onto their developers and tend to ruin what would have been really great games because they want every single one of their games to be "DLC The Game".

There is a reason they were called the worst company, but they know that people are still going to buy their games, and the dlc, so they aren't gonna quit the method if it's piling the money in on them.

I loved the Sims 3 but WAAY too many DLCs and Expansion Packs.

I love the Dragon Age games, but that's it from them

When I think of EA I get angry. I despise their company and hope to one day see them fail. When people ask why I refuse to buy EA products I give a simple answer. They're evil.

One of the worst things about them is how they destroy games. Will Wright sold out and did their bidding. Then, when he got personal backlash about it, he resigned but left all his titles with EA. Ugh, just the tip of the iceberg. I need to get far away from this thread, for my sanity and my blood pressure.

Yessss. Origins was amazing. Never played the sequel, but I heard lots of bad things about it... Mostly to do with recycled maps and annoying companions :S

In general EA's pricey and keeps trying to wring money out of us with endless DLCs. They don't respect their customer base at all.

I only like The Sims from them. I don't really have an opinion about the compagny, but yeah, money... It's all business.

 

[Zanessa]

money... It's all business.

But they don't have to charge so much.
I mean, $70 for the best version of Sims 4 that's digital download only? Are you freaking kidding me?

 

[Psydye]

They always came off to me as the "d-bags" of the video game industry, only seeing dollars signs and how to squeeze the most out of out of their product and buyers..

 

[Midoriya]

I didn't even know what they were until now, but from seeing the games they have, I don't like any of their games.

I like Bioware's work, Mirror's Edge, Dead Space, American McGee's Alice games, and the old James Bond titles EA used to publish. I haven't felt disappointed with game quality or DLC content first-hand, but I also have not played series they have mismanaged.

 

[Trent the Paladin]

Used to really like Bioware up until they screwed up Mass Effect 3 and then after throwing a disappointing ending at me asked me to buy DLC. NOPE. DICE also used to be a company that could do no wrong until they released Brokenfield 4 on pretty much everything, now I'm just not playing that until I hear the majority of issues are fixed. Need for Speed and Burnout have yet to disappoint me, so here's hoping.

The extended cut ending was free. Was there something I missed when it was first available, or are you referring to that love letter DLC that released recently, or its DLC and the principal of trying to make up for the debacle in general? I don't mean this in a "you're totally unjustified" way because I certainly understand why that would turn some people off, I'm just curious.

 

[kittenrobotarmy]

Sims is the only thing I like from them. Even so, there are too many expansions and they are too expensive. I like the look of Sims 4 but I'm not getting it until that price is LOWERED.

 

[FireNinja1]

Thought they were pretty cool for some time until today. My game card had "ejected" when I didnt even touch it. It was a Madden game.

Before all that. I beat it about a week after it launched and had thought the ending can't be that bad: Then I saw the ending and while I was still trying to wrap my mind around it, a pop-up appeared asking fans to buy DLC to continue their adventure as Shep. How about no. Extended Cut really didn't make it any better, but it did improve it a little. Either way, I didn't revisit it after seeing that.

I don't like them period. They flooded the Wii with their crappy My Sims games that got worse and watered down for every single installement. My Sims, My Sims Kingdom were okay. However, after that, they started to forget the main thing that people loved about my sims. THE CUSTOMIZATION. The only game I liked after the Kingdom was agents.

Also, I think the only thing EA is popular for are The Sims, Sim City and EA Sports games. However, they don't really introduce that much new with those IPs in my opinion. Each installment seems to basically fix problems other than innovate.
