Looks like a tranny now.

Bubbles for you, dude.
Dude...bubbles for you.
Dude, the original Fire Temple theme STILL scares the crap out of me.
Tsch. I aint ashamed of my DoAX2 achievements. One word to any woman that I got 'Complete Collection'...let's just say I aint gonna be lonely that night.
Ugh. This is how it always works. There's a problem with something, the internet overreacts, a reactionary "movement" arises in contrast to the overreaction that eventually unfairly vindicates whatever the original problem was. So nothing gets done.
EA obviously is not the worst company in the United States, but that doesn't, in any way, shape or form, absolve EA of all guilt. They are amongst the worst in the video game industry.
lol, the internet has spoken.
Only for those stupid enough to throw their "allegiance" in with a single region.
And EA/Bioware caving just validates all this whining. It's ridiculous.
"Oh, you didn't like that ending either? Here, let us continue recreating the ending until it pleases all of you."
Hmmm, ok. As long as we're all trying to be different for the sake of being different here, Jar Jar was the greatest addition to the Star Wars universe since the Ewoks, and my favorite scene from the prequels would have to be when C-3PO got his head switched with a battle droid. Just all around good stuff. Don't you DARE stop going crazy, Lucas.
It's a sad issue, really. Our culture is getting there, but it's a really slow process over here. Most people assume it's just our religious demographic, but our whole male culture in general tends to promote a subtle (and obviously not-so-subtle, sometimes) form of anti-gay sentiment.
It kind of makes me think they wanted to avoid the backlash the setting would inevitably bring from the thriving weeaboo culture we have here in the West, complaining about "historical inaccuracy" this and "westernization" that. You know...typical otaku BS.
"ooh, a massive company likes making money ? how evil..."
I don't think you could have made that statement any more reductive.
Don't get me wrong, the poll is ridiculous -- there are obviously companies out there more essential to our economy that are getting away with far worse things, but in the gaming industry, EA sits tall amongst an ilk of publishers that are slowly subverting consumer rights....and ultimately getting away with it becau...
"For me its the way they treat the small companies that develop the games for them and there amazing ability to screw everything up."
That's really the big issue for me, too. They have some amazingly accomplished developers working for them, but their greed really squeezes the soul out of the people that are ACTUALLY making the industry what it is.
They have the despicable habit of buying up well loved companies with established fan-bases, gutti...
It's so exhausting being a Nintendo fan. They simultaneously make some of the best games and worst business decisions of any company I know.
While I have no problem with that opinion, does no one else think that it's more than just a little ridiculous to be making judgements like that before the game is released? Especially considering that in general, previews and hands-on articles from sites all over have been almost universally positive about the game so far.
Game looks awesome. Haters gonna hate.
Well, considering their budgets, it's not bad. At the very least, it's good to see the increase, small as it may be.
Maybe all this corporate BS that's taking place in the more mainstream industry (money-grabbing DLC, the used game war, DRM, etc.) is finally driving people to look to the ever-growing indie scene a little more often.
"April 5"
I have that same tattoo on my left buttock.
Well, it's actually a remake/reimagining of the first game and Al Lowe is on board, so there's a good chance it could be a faithful to the original spirit of the franchise.
I mean, you're definitely right about the last few games, but...I guess there's a glimmer of hope there. Maybe I'll just make a small donation.
^Yeah, massive discounts like that are really the only way to approach digital downloads. But then, these games should be massively discounted FROM THE GET-GO and they should NEVER be priced congruently with their physical and/or DRM-free counterparts.
Not only is there absolutely no concept of ownership, but there will never be any kind of resale value with downloadable services. In fact that's a much better word for "games" these days: services. They don't...
