EA ruins everything they touch

EA MMOs: Known for driving several new MMOs into the ground, mainly WAR.

EA Sports: Well known for releasing the same exact rehash every year, with slightly improved graphics and a new helmet style.

EA Action Games: Largest producer of generic FPS games.

EA Simulation Games: Released the disaster of a game known as Spore.

EA SecuRom/bugs: Almost all new EA games are packed with SecuRom and bug ridden gameplay.

Need a bigger shovel, EA?

Madden as well.

EA is terrible.

Dead Space and Mirrors Edge were OK, but they were way too short and Dead Space was not scary at all, just tense.

Yaaaawn. EA hating was trite even back when it was warranted.

another EA rant... EA is not the best company, but without them we would not have alot of great game franchises we have now

EA MMOs: Known for driving several new MMOs into the ground, mainly WAR. - WAR is really popular and has a ton of subscribers, also one of the most polished mmo's since wow.

EA Sports: Well known for releasing the same exact rehash every year, with slightly improved graphics and a new helmet style. - they still make the best

EA Action Games: Largest producer of generic FPS games. - crysis, mirrors edge, dead space?

EA Simulation Games: Released the disaster of a game known as Spore. - at least it was something new

EA SecuRom/bugs: Almost all new EA games are packed with SecuRom and bug ridden gameplay. - i'm with you on securom sucking balls but a few companies do it not just ea, i don't remember too many bugs in their games.

case in point....command and conquer the games are good but they kinda lost something, and not only that

why are they porting it to the consoles? even i say RTS don't belong on consoles

Crysis, Battlefield, Dead Space, Mirrors Edge, NHL09 is said to be one of the best true to life sports games ever made.

Then they were publishers for Rock Band and Burnout Paradise which constantly release tons of new content, and in Burnouts case it's all free!

Sheesh, EA is horrible!!!! They should just quit the business. I'm about as tired of the EA hate, as I am the MS hate. They are both 2 great companies that actually listen to their consumers...

Whatever EA touches turn into gold.

The Fifa Series. The Madden Series. Dead Space. C&C. LOTR:BFME2.

Mirrors edge is the only poor game they've made in the past couple of years.

Your argument may have had some validity 2 years ago, but now reads more like "I'm a hardcore gamer, as evidenced by disdain for the largest game publisher - I got cred". EA has made some significant strides in 1) quality of games and 2) support of it's developers. Additionally, EA is introducing new IP's and new gameplay mechanics, which can't be said for their competition. Counterpoints below:

EA MMOs: Known for driving several new MMOs into the ground, mainly WAR.

Every MMO has growing pains. Guess you weren't around for the WoW launch. WAR is doing all right. It's natural to have some slippage in subs, due to people wanting to check out the next big thing then move back to WoW. Give it some time - it's nowhere near Vanguard, Age of Conan or Matrix Online levels of disappointment yet.

EA Sports: Well known for releasing the same exact rehash every year, with slightly improved graphics and a new helmet style.

Since Peter Moore joined EA Sports, we've seen the overall quality of those titles increase significantly. Madden XX was the best in a while, NHL 09 made some serious strides and is a great hockey game. FIFA 09 came with the goods as well.

EA Action Games: Largest producer of generic FPS games.

I may be missing something - like all the generic FPS games that EA has released in the last 12 - 24 months.

EA Simulation Games: Released the disaster of a game known as Spore.

Spore is a decent game. The kiddies and DRM zealots got their panties in a twist over your next topic.

EA SecuRom/bugs: Almost all new EA games are packed with SecuRom and bug ridden gameplay.

I agree with this one. DRM has to be handled better. As it's currently implemented, it's the honest consumers who have to jump through hoops. Not a good model. It's like being asked to show your receipt when you leave the store. However, DRM is not exactly an EA exclusive issue.

Only for the Wii, and you can hardly fault them when most third party applications on that system are poor.

I though the EA hate ended. Can we move onto a company that deserves it? Activision/Ubisoft?II-FBIsniper-II

Activision is the new EA. They suck now and are getting worse while EA is improving

Dead Space is in the top 3 games of the year for me. EA done a fine job with that game.

I have grown up playing Electronic Arts games, but this isn't the same company I enjoyed for so long. It has become a greedy corporation that values quality only if it adds to their bottom line. Instead of evolving to the latest trends in programming they buy ideas and sell people out. Its a fair question to ask; how long would a smaller company last without EA? My answer would be not long but their innovation would help grow the industry.

I have always been a die-hard Madden fan, they didn't need to become the maniacal corp and block all the good ideas for making football video games; just so they can charge $60 bucs for a roster patch.

EA quit being greedy and go back to the roots of making quality titles that feed off competition rather than eating competition. Also drop the the DLC for everything and let us go back to the days of finding the secret stuff in games.

Dead Space Crysis/Crysis Warhead Warhammer Age of Reckoning NHL 09 SPore Battlefield 2 battlefield Bad Company All AA or better....all have EA as a publisher...with all but 2 being developed by EA or one of there studios Burnout Paradise You want to complain about somebody complain about activision....Blame Square Enix for there consistant suck this gen....Blame Capcom for killing Jill :cry: EA has done a great job this gen....jg4xchamp

EA has a great eye for great companies and big money in order to acquire them.

This is 2 years too late. You could have made this argument in 06, but it serves no truth today.

My love for NFL football is astounding, but my love to stand for something is even greater. I will never buy a Madden game unless Visual Concept themselves develop it :).
