Battlefront 2 Update: Is It Time to Admit That EA Doesn’t Suck?

Electronic Arts' latest Star Wars Battlefront 2 update suggests that the company might have got its mojo back.

Next by the same desperate bloggist:
Is Dragon Age 3 the best one?
Are multiplayer games better than any SP?
Can we admit that loot boxes are good for the players?

-Foxtrot2413d ago

Literally straight to the point XD

But seriously wow...they supported a game with content that should have been out Day 1 and had no choice to keep supporting otherwise they'd be called even worse

Only reason people go back is mostly because they add things which tugs on those nostalgic, fanboy heartstrings and people are glad to see fan favourite characters and locations in the game.

"what is anyone's motivation if you're going to be thought of and treated like shit no matter what you do"

Because they continue to f*** up else where, they stop screwing you with one game and BAM they are doing it in another. One step forward, 5 steps back.

EA in a nutshell, so no I don't think it's harsh, it's just called having common sense.

Its never too late to launch a full price MT/loot box ridden, incomplete game and take two years to make it a full game....

Smokehouse2413d ago

But it is too late to bring back beloved franchises that they have killed. Apparently... Where is the dead space trilogy remaster? Where is the skate trilogy remaster. That’s free money for them, the games are already made and they just have to polish it. They would know that if they weren’t so suck.

paradigmfellow2413d ago

Are you serious? EA will always suck as long as it puts its shareholders on a pedal stool.

T2X2413d ago

All companies have to make the shareholders happy. If they don't, than take any product or service you like and say goodbye to it. I've been gaming since Atari days and EA and even Activision were always among the best games you could get quality and tech wise. They actually are very good at what they do, but you have to have realistic expectations regarding how companies operate. I own many EA games (SWBF1/2, All the BF games, Madden ect) I always enjoy them and never really purchase any extras unless I want more maps.

RosweeSon2413d ago

No all companies have to make their customers happy who then spend money on their products in turn making share holders happy as people are buying their products make your share holders happy great forget about your paying customers... not great.

Pickledpepper2413d ago

I also started with the Atari and got every console after that, yes EA and Activision DID make great games but for them it's not about the games anymore it's all about how much money they can squeeze out of games, not by making fantastic games that everyone wants to play, but by finding some thing everyone loves like star wars and making a bear bones game and milk it for every last penny they can get.
As I said it's not about games for them it's just greed! Nothing more

"All companies have to make the shareholders happy. If they don't, than take any product or service you like and say goodbye to it."

So basically they make their shareholders happy or the shareholders punish them by further harming their ability to make money? I would say this is the dumbest thing Ive ever heard but it perfectly explains why EA has completely lost the ability to make great games (and money from those unmade great games).

EA still sucks, but companies like Activision and TakeTwo have managed to pass them in the race to becoming the worst company in the industry. Quite the feat!

RizBiz2413d ago

Makes you wonder how long it'll take for EA to sell out to the CCP as well.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

dveio19d ago

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing19d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Tanktopmaster9219d ago

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit19d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing19d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9219d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse

To be fair, there are also human made games that release and lack any fun at all either.

jznrpg22d ago

But all of the great games have been made by humans

jwillj2k422d ago

One is by choice, the other is a feature.

PRIMORDUS22d ago

Guild Wars 2 been playing for 14yrs, 1st beta. This is just one company I support, Arenanet and NCSoft, even though I torrent, there are a few PC companies I will buy from. "PlayStation’s Horizon MMO spin-off, Horizon Steel Frontiers." I feel this will be good, NCSoft is a good developer/publisher.

CrimsonWing6921d ago

It’s a tool. Use it elevate things and get it done faster. I’m sorry but not every game made by humans is good. If this can help things, then I fully embrace it.
