People can call EA hypocrites, but here's the thing. EA was never, even at their worst in the 2002-2005 period, as bad as Activision is now. EA saw that they were becoming pretty much despised by everyone, and they promptly changed their tone. Activision knows thet are despised by everyone, and they could not give two damns about it.

How so? EA is the better publisher, has the better titles, and isn't as bad as they were 3 years back. If anything Activision shold envy EA.

I think that's a little ironic, although EA has published some great games now (Rockband, Mass Effect, Crysis)

EA is now a reformed monster after going through rehab.

By the way, does anybody know if you fight Activision in Monster Hunter 3? (Admit it, you thought that this was hilarious)

excluding sports games, ea was never as bad as activision. a new gh, cod, rb etc every single year which is almost the same as last year is pushing it. prototype is the only new game activision has come up with in the last few years. cod4 = cod2 with a new coat of paint.

That's opinionated.

Yandere

Why do you disagree? It is a fact that they have brought new and quality IPs and improved existing ones.

I'm only stating that it's opinionated, personally no EA game I've played was entertaining.. Such as Battlefeild 1, Deadspace, Mirror's Edge, Rock Band, Need for Speed, The Sims 2, Burnout, a few Metal of Honor games.

I just have to say it - there's no game called Battlefield 1.

Just 1942, Vietnam, 2, and 2142. All the others aren't worth it.

Hey, with the massive improvements EA has done so far, they have every right to say that ;). Heck, at times, I think Activision is WORSE than the past EA. And...you know it's a bad thing when the former most evil gaming company goes out and says something like that about another. It must mean that they really are that awful :P

Just talking about the first one that was released, I played that like 5 years ago?

If I was EA, I would be taking that up and running with it as well. For years EA was the huge, ugly monster, now that the namecalling is starting to shift to someone else they should be embracing that to keep it off of them:P

lettuceman44
Out of curiosity, why isn't EA considered a monster anymore? Is it because Acti is outdoing them or is it because EA has calmed down over the years? I always disliked this yearly games by EA, specifically there sports franchises, but then again all sports games are like that. I always hated EA after they bought out the NFL. They used money instead of trying to outperform the better NFL 2K series.

Its because EA has actually been putting out good games. They greatly improved NHL 09, seems to be actually trying now, new IPS such as Dead Space and Dante's Inferno etc.

exactly. ea last year = dead space, mirrors edge amoung other great games which are new acti = cod, gh, rb all the same stuff over and over. (cod4/waw are just cod2 with a new coat of paint) and gh is just more music or some other pathetic change.

Well they are. Ever heard the phrase it takes one to know one? Well EA was one so they can spot another from a mile away.

not really activision are more successful which is the goal of a business. EA have more sway with nerds on videogame forums which is not the goal of a business. they're also losing a billion dollars every 3 months which again is not a good thing

Activision is really becoming very very bad with their kotix guy.

I don't know if EA president said some arrogant statements like Kotick.

But I think they are both ugly monsters and Acti is outdoing EA.

However I think come next year, EA gonna be the bigger monster, their line up is way diverse and bigger than what Acti would dream of.

  • Mass Effect 2.
  • The old Republic.
  • Dante's Inferno.
  • Battlefield Bad company 2.
  • Crysis 2.

Thats only at the top of my head and for that I like EA way more than Activision, the only game I care about from acti is MW and thats it.

Tbh Im starting to like EA again...

I mean their games lineup is pretty good actually. AdNFSshift looks t be a good simcade.

Plus they've been great supporting Burout paradise.

Activision though is prett much relying on Call of duty for greatness, and are now upping the price. Problem is though people whould but COD6 even if it were £70...

Tbh with how good COD4 was even Id be tempted at £60 and would probably cave in and buy it after a while.

EA has been doing right by gamers for some time now. Activision however have not been and would love to gouge us all for as much money as possible even making games $100.00 dollars.
