"All flash, no substance", except that there's no flash anymore.
And what did they do? They kept the mediocre story and boring gameplay AND ruined the visual greatness of the game, which was the only positive side it actually had.
EA is now officially the MacDonald's of the game industry. Mass production for mass consuming. Lots of profit, no real value of the product. Except for teenagers, which don't really have taste yet. And when they start to form one, EA will sell the same crap to the next generation of teenagers.
No big company dares to be original anymore. That's sad.
I am also taking down my credit of confidence from GS's scoring system. That thing just CAN'T get 9.0. Or if Crysis deserves 9, then please rate games such as Half-life with a score of at least 18.
