I say you should still avoid this game. EA is backtracking, yes, but the next game will just have a more subtle and clever way of doing the same thing.
If everyone goes out and buys the game now, all EA learned was where the red line was, and they will back off just enough to keep bending over gamers.
Yeah, they just need gamers to be patient while EA calculates if the backlash is actually costing them money.... If it isn't, then nothing will change.
He's not apologizing for the bad business practice. He's just sorry it affected sales and public perception.
No, the "feedback" was from open Beta and previously garbage games from EA...
What happened today is backlash, and EA should be on their knees to earn their customers loyalty back. They should expect things will not go well at this point. And try harder next game.
This 75% off is great news! Now all they need to do is drop the price another 25% and EA will have "done the right thing."
Great job EA, you're 75% closer to a good decision.
I had already learned my EA lesson... This just further justifies it. EA needs to learn a big lesson here and make some big changes.
If enough people are fed up, EA will change.
Well, TF1 was fun but needed SP. TF2 was much better.
I guess TF3 will now die as EA desperately scrapes the bottom of your pockets for whatever change is left.
No advantage after 60 FPS anyway... Yeah, I have a PC too, GTX1080.
60 is better than 30, very noticeable. Above 60 is just for bragging rights.
You can't beat a consoles value. PC is great for mid console generation when GPU's drop price and then you can have a "next gen console" a couple years early. But it's really not that amazing or advantageous.
Persepctive:
If X1X follows previous generations and sells even "just" 30 million consoles, at an average price of $350 per console (that's 500 now and heavily discounted later), that is...
$10.5 billion dollars.
Please write an article about how that is losing a battle? If I sold a product and made even 1 percent of that, it would be "successful."
LOL... Just desperate LOL.
Eww, PS4 version gonna look sloppy and stuttery.
@magicbeanz
Wow you just settled the whole PC vs console debate... Every game would look and run better without consoles holding them back.
Except you completely miss the point, it's totally impractical for everyone to have a gaming PC, everyone has a preference. And you're incredibly closed minded to think consoles would be better off with only Playstation.
Who cares? X1X guys don't care how many games PS4 pro had at launch, and what do you PS4 pro guys care what X1X has at launch?
It's like you are all comparing dingy's based on your console preference.
Even if "it matters", X1X will "only" have 80 titles at launch, as if any single person here will ever have the time to play all 80 in the consoles lifetime. Let alone all the other releases that are sure to come.
Game was no good.
Gotta agree... I've been loyal to Xbox since the original, but I have no intentions of grabbing the X1X until MS addresses the dry exclusive content.
I think it's ridiculous how Sony camp wants MS to go away... I'd much rather see them shape up and start real innovation again with healthy exclusives.
Gamer reviews work. I love the Forza series, but have stayed far away from Forza 7 because of the reviews. On Xbox Live, many people have voiced concerns, so I'm staying away. This 6/10 review is in line with the Xbox live score.
I can really tell I've gotten under your skin.... Sorry about that. Hope it doesn't ruin your day!
No, but really, strong burn with how you tried to use my words against me. Seriously man, I bow out... You got me.
LOL, sounds like I struck a nerve.
"MS apologist..." LOL... You have a pretty sad, long, miserable comment history. But if you didn't, I would've figured out all I need to know about you with this one sentence.
Sorry about your life, man. Get some sun.
Pretty hypocritical statement.... All I've read on N4G for the last few years is graphical comparisons between PS4 and Xbox, and PS4 owners gloating about it NON STOP.
Here comes XBOX1X, and suddenly it's not about graphics anymore.
On the other side, Xbox guys (myself included) claimed for the past few years that graphics didn't matter.... And they matter a lot all of the sudden LOL.
Human nature I guess.
