It really does seem like they've lost it. You'd think after BFII they might have seen some sense but no, full steam ahead with UFC 3 with the EXACT same bullshit!! I know no amount of boycotting will put EA completely out of business, but the way they're going they'll be losing potentially millions in revenue if they keep this crap up. It actually doesn't make business sense. You have to learn from your mistakes but clearly they don't. They've already lost a LOT of...
I'm not even going to give this article a click, but is he/she for real?? And what the hell is a "hatting" trend? The hate is not unfair. It's completely justified. They completely ruined a game that so many people were looking forward to with pure greed.
I'm sure Anthem will definitely have mt's but as greedy as they are they can't be that stupid to not take into account what's happening with BFII, can they?!?! If articles of sales are anything to go by would they really risk it again? BFII has fallen well short of expected sales and they've lost a shit tonne of expected revenue. If they pull the same stunt with Anthem, it's dead on arrival too and they'll lose another huge chunk of cash. It'll be interesting t...
A Hideo Kojima article.
Wow!! On one hand I'm glad the game flopped with the bullshit EA were pulling, but on the other hand I'm so pissed off it just had to be Star Wars that EA tried to pull this shit with. From one of the most anticipated games of the year, to the biggest disaster of the year. Good job EA!! 👏👏👏
Sally, I agree Nodoze. I'd like to think they're working hard scrapping the loot boxes and working on a more realistic progression/unlock system because I really do want to get this game. There's no way in hell I'm buying it as it is now. I have a bad feeling they'll push the game as much as possible with The Last Jedi, turn the mt's back on, get whatever they can from it, call it a bad loss and move on, as you said. It's hard to call though. No other game has gott...
I really do hope they see sense before it's too late. I'm sure a lot of people really want this game and probably would buy if they fixed everything. Myself included. It's performing poorly in sales to what was expected and the longer they leave it, the less chance they have of getting anywhere near expected sales. There's been literally no news since they turned off the mt's so they're either working very hard overhauling the progression, or sticking their heads in th...
Man, that was a nightmare. I did that myself hoping for something really cool at the end of it. Then nothing!! R* are wankers 😂😂
If they did take the Star Wars license away from EA I'd rather they just keep it non exclusive and not sell full rights to anyone. Free it up and let everyone make games for the franchise.
Wow!! Is Mass Effect really 10 years old already??!!!! What an amazing game. My favourite of the series. Just learning everything about that universe was mind blowing. Thanks for fucking it all up EA!!
This was day 1 for me too but haven't bought either. I'd still consider getting it as I'm a huge Star Wars fan and the game does actually look good, but EA will have to overhaul progression/unlocks and completely drop mt's altogether before I'd even consider getting it. I'd imagine if they did do that, a lot of people might actually get it. I can't see EA doing that though unfortunately.
I'd gladly take DLC over mt's any day. If a game is good I have no problem paying for more. I was happy to pay for more of TW3, more of HZD with Frozen Wilds. Even last gen with GTA IV and Gears as that was my go to mp game. Not when the season pass is the same price as a full game though, and you get barely anything with it, like Battlefront 2015. If EA we're more like CDPR they wouldn't be in this mess with BFII.
What I'd like to know is who the hell is up voting these comments?? And why aren't the accounts just immediately banned as soon as they're flagged for spam??
It's more of an issue now than ever because it seems it's done a complete 180. Can we have some male lead characters back now please?? Especially in Star Wars. Battlefront II, Rogue One, the new trilogy, all female leads. Any chance of some diversity for the men here?!?!
"Didn't you do an lot of BS practices to the people in Ireland for hundreds of years...... "
Yes, unfortunately they don't seem to teach that part of English history in their schools, conveniently. Tiocfaidh ár lá!!
We're already paying that price across the pond. €70 is the average price of games in Ireland which works out more than $80!! I'd be seriously pissed if they increased prices across the board.
Have to disagree as that's when EA actually built their initial fan base. Their 16 bit games were awesome and that's how they've got to where they are now. Back in the day of the mega drive/SNES , they were top dog, bringing out some of the best games of that time. Unfortunately that's now a very very very distant memory.
I don't know about America but here in Ireland game prices are almost double what they were in the PS2/XBOX era. And I don't buy into the idea that mt's are necessary. It's just pure greed what EA have pulled here.
Holy shit!! That's actually worse than I thought it would be.
Oh dear God. I ended up spending a fortune last year on the 12 deals of Christmas. Must resist!!
