Dead Space Animated Comic

[Moonloop]

I'm not a fan of EA myself. In my mind EA is to games what McDonalds is to fine dining. Still, every once in a while they get one right...

I have a friend who refuses to play an EA game regardless if it turns out good. He just completely ignores them and in his mind EA can do no right.

I will probably just show up at his house and make him play Dead Space.

^^ Its true EA is pure evil!

I kinda feel the same way; but what I do is buy the game Used - that way, no extra profit is going to EA, but Gamestop instead. I know its kinda 'political' but I feel EA business practices are awful - their attempt at a hostile takeover of Take Two is just the latest example of a company that knows no boundaries...

What's with all the hate for EA? Did they bang your sisters or something? J/K

Seriously though, I wanna know.

i think it's the Microsoft syndrome, where they are so large and successful people dislike them. plus they are buying up a lot of smaller companies. plus the fact they bought the exclusive rights to the NFL taking out the chance of any competition to madden. people root for the smaller guys and dislike the largers guys.

i don't care how many they buy as long as they just publish them and don't interfere with the developers.

My only issue with EA is with with the Madden. Since they don't have to compete with anyone they can turn out a game like this year that has issues it did or NASCAR. They know they're alone so they don't have to try as hard as they do with a game like DS.

No sister action here. For me, its the fact that they buy up all the other little companies and kill competition and pump out mostly crap games....

Their purchase of Bioware and their hostile takeover attempt of Take Two was the final straw for me - I absolutely hate EA for those kinds of reasons....there had been rumor that Valve was willing to join them, but that ended up being shot down, though Valve did speak highly of EA

I think Gamestop might actually be worse than EA

Ill this about sums up my hate for EA. They buy up developers and then force strict deadlines on them and most of their games end up being sub par. Don't even get me started on the NFL deal.

If Mass Effect 2 sucks, we know who to blame....

As for Gamestop being worse, I appreciate that thought, but for me its a choice of the lesser of two evils...could be worse: I could buy an EA game new at Gamestop :emperor

Yep, they end up buying great little software/game companies and then use then to churn the same old EA crap. As a company model, they aren't that bad, constantly expanding, buying up rivals; but from the actual gamer perspective, they are the video game antichrist.

If Mass Effect 2 sucks we must boycot EA forever!

I'd agree to that.


Hopefully not--really so far with Bioware it looks like all they've done is add their DRM so hopefully they're not interfering with the game design.

I heard the film rights for Mass Effect got bought up--I hope they do it well, it has a sort of classic sci-fi feel to it so I hope they stick to that.

Amen to that. Mass Effect could be a GREAT movie if done right.

What is everyones favorite weapon so far? As of right now I really like the Ripper! I just like to take out a Necro's legs with the Plasma Cutter and slice them to shreads with the Ripper as the crawl towards me!

I probably use the Plasma gun the most and it is very effective and can get me out of any situation.

But I do think when powered up that the Line Gun or Force Gun are the most powerful weapons.

 

[Dr Daystrom]

I find the Line Cutter to be the most effective. The Ripper is the most fun tho'
