how is ea any worse than ubi, thq, activison etc?

why does everyone hate ea so much more when they are no different than all the other big publishers?

what innovative thing has ubi done recently? r6v2 is just like the first one

thq? when did they last do something new? or how about activison? cod4 is just cod2 in modern and a new class system hardly anything amazing. bf2 is just as good and has many thing cod4 lacks.

EA pumps out the most games.

WHile good for the industry as they all sell many X million copies, gamers dont like them cause their games get an average score of 7. Not great, but not shovelware either.

thats why.

EA charges for guns in a game.

EA charges for things already on the disk.

Well, compared to Ubi, Ea sucks. Ubi was getting so good that EA had to go and buy part of the company. I don't have much to say about THQ or Activision though.

Whenever I thought Iwould forgive EA and buy one of their games (I've been boycotting them since 1999, although I probably hadn't bought one of their games for years before that), the game would come out and end of sucking.

Can't think of which EA games in particular, but as a Harry Potter fan, I was hoping for something good on that one (especially the one with the Tri-Wizard tournament. That could have been good). I also thought Catwoman could have been good (even if the movie was mediocre), but they messed that up too.

Besides sports, EA games always rate low. Ubi games almost always score 8.5 and up. And even in sports, Sega/Visual Concepts/2k Sports was often kicking their butts.

EA is the worst, but they all have their share of problems.

Ubisoft loves quick cash-in games. Remember the cheap Wii ports? They're also trying to cash in on the training game craze and those horsey games. Still, I find them to be respectable... they published No More Heroes after-all.

THQ is the king of the movie/TV franchise games. Spongebob, Disney, Bratz, etc, etc.

Activision is becoming as bad as EA now that they're as big as EA. Expect a yearly Guitar Hero game along with more Tony Hawk and their own crappy movie games.

EA has its share of awesome games, but they milk franchises to death (Sims, Need for Speed, Madden, Battlefield, C&C, Burnout, Medal of Honor). EA is too big for its own good.

They buy great companies (Origin, Westwood Studios, and Bullfrog), then shut them down when they don't produce results the same results as when they were indy.

They rehash games yearly, with minimal change (I'm not saying Activision, etc. don't do the same thing), and then they put a full price on it.

They buy their competition. They're going to purchase Take-2 (for Rockstar), they have purchased Pandemic, BioWare, Mythic, etc. They shut down support from games that are still played.

I'm sorry, but I like it when my games are polished and take long to develop. I don't like buggy rehashes or games making deadlines. I'd much rather have MGS4 in 2010 than have some **** buggy version. Expect more Midnight Club and GTA games, especially from different devs, if the Take-2 deal goes through.

Lol battlefield did come out in 05, but then battlefield 2142 came in 06, pluse battlefield modern combat ps2 and then 360 Now Battlefield bad company. thats alot of of battlefields for 3 years... Then they make a need for speed every year, a burnout every year, thats what they do so would people buy their garbage. I was a idiot that use to buy all burnouts till B revenge. They release the same BS every year and dont change anything half the time. they also had 2 other battlefieilds that came out in 06 Euro and Amored fury.

When it comes to crap, EA has the quantity, but Ubisoft has feindish subtle quality.

It takes a specail kind of evil to do what they did to Rainbow Six, whereas EA would have just made the same game every year until the franchise was dead from exhaustion.

EA is hated because :

(1) They have destroyed lots of talented dev houses they acquired

(2) They milk their franchises tremedously most of the time releasing mediocre games(this year i heard things were a bit better)

(3) Charge for small things like guns in games etc

Have the others planned on charging me for guns in games? Next thing you know Madden will require one to buy a football and ref! Or the team...

I don't know, but sadly if this does take off, the others will likely follow suit....

I dont frankly dislike EA. they made Rock Band, Burnout Paradise, and Orange Box. can't complain. and the DLC for Rock Band is awesome. I really dislike Activision. once they got hold of one of my favorite franchises (GH), the series started to be milked and suck like crazy. TOTAL_DEFENSE_0

LOL, no, they PUBLISHED Orange Box and Rock Band. They don't own any part of Harmonix OR Valve.

Oh yea that's another one. RIP Westwood.

THQ isn't bad in the same way as the rest, mostly because they just don't do jack. And thats why their bad. They just don't do jack.

EA isn't that bad though. People just over react.

My voce for worst game company right now though would be SEGA. Boy have they really fallen from grace.

well true the milk nfs but burnout revenge came out 2005, that was the last console burnout, the console battlefields aren't bf3 and bf2142 was 1.5 years after bf2 and its now been over a year with no new pc bf
