For all those who are saying that they don't buy EA games, your gaming is really limited. EA doesn't publish bad games, EA is horrible at customer service. Almost all of EA's titles win awards or are long running franchise titles, like most of their sports games. With rare exception, EA tends to buy quality studios as well. Unlike other companies, EA isn't afraid to spend money on game development. Companies like Dice and Bioware were two small to invest heavily on follow up games and large teams. They had to look some place else for investment. With rare exception, companies like Dice and EA can compete with larger companies like EA, but it's not often. Companies like EA and Activision have saturated the game market with so many games that it's almost impossible for independents or startups to get into the game. Unless they have a great idea to start with, in which case they either end up selling to EA or Activision or EA/Activision just creates their own version of the game, pour tons of money into it and crushes the little guy.
At the end of the day EA/Activision is the Wal-Mart of the gaming world. No one likes what Wal-Mart is doing to mom and pop business', but everyone still shops there. |

- Dragon Age 2
- Sim City 5
- Fuse
- Star Wars The Old Republic
- Ending for Mass Effect 3
- Ninja Reflex (Wii)
- FIFA 13
- Dead Space 3 (lost the feeling of the original - plus microtransactions in a single player game...)
- Warhammer Online: Wrath of Heroes
- EVERY SINGLE iOS/ANDROID MONEY GRAB GAME THEY MAKE
You're dislike of those games don't make them bad games. I for one liked:
DA2
SWTOR
ME3
I also liked:
All the BF Games
Madden (Pretty much all of them)
The Sims, 1-3
The Need for Speed Series
The C&C Series
007: The World is Not Enough
688 Sub Attack
Alone in the Dark 2
The Bejeweled Series (Even though it started off as PopCap published internet games)
Boulder Dash
The Burnout Series
Crysis 1-3
Dead Space
Delta Force Series
DA1
The Godfather 1-2
Most of the Jane's Combat game series
The Older MoH games (WW2 setting games)
NCAA Football
Tiger Woods Golf
PGA Golf (Before Tiger Woods)
Rock Band 1-3
SimCity 4 + Rush Hour
Skate or Die (Only us old people will remember that game, made in the late 80's)
Spore
Test Drive
System Shock
Syndicate
Ultima Online (Arguably the best game ever made)
Wing Commander
Not all of these games are recent, but they were all good in their own right and each has always had a following of die hard fans. Regardless, individual opinions, Meta scores, and IGN reviews do not make a game good or bad nor does it make a publisher or developer a good or bad one. Some could argue that CCP doesn't know how to makes games, but they do have a successful game in EvE Online and while Dust isn't wildly great, it does have a following and CCP is working to make better games.
Every body has their own opinion of games and publishers. I don't care for Microsoft Studios, but they did publish one of the most liked games of all times, Halo. |
