Modnation Racer, MGS: Peace Walker, Alpha Protocol, Transformer: War on Cybertron and Trinity Universe. Too many interesting game is coming out and i'm still busy with Pokemon SS and Dragon Age Origin. If only i have more time T_T
Can't be helped, I just wished they sent some out on christmas time, wouldn't it be more money if they waited until december for some releases? Lucky for me, I'm only waiting on gt5 (IF IT EVER COMES OUT), transformers (mate is getting it, if he says it's good then I'm in-I dislike activision after the last few games...even though they ain't making it I have a feeling activision would fuck up along the way) and mgs peace walker (if there isn't a collectors edition I might not even buy it...I'll be playing it though ) I'm happy with lost planet 2, I just hope I don't buy any more any time soon... I still have games on my nes, snes, n64, wii and at least 8 games on my ps3 that need clocking
i think they will be collectors edition, but what i aiming is Big Boss bundle (the PSP look really cool).
Activision is just the publisher the developer is High Moon Studios so if it fails we blame the developer not the publisher (course if it really fails then we can blame both ) I want to play Transformers War for Cybertron and later on this year Batman Arkham Asylum 2
I'm aware of the actual developer, but being tied to activision...for all we know they might get rushed and end up like most EA game trash. And they are making a second batman-I WAS WAITING FOR THE GAME OF THE YEAR EDITION OF THE FIRST
For all we know, having assumptions about developers before the game even comes out is smart. Also generalizing an entire publisher as trash is also, smart. For a publisher that has a handle on Respawn, Insomniac and DICE, that's kind of warranted, no? Good god, hate against publishers and not buying their games is retarded from a gamer standpoint, if the game is good, it's GOOD. Forget who made or published, get it because it's of a good quality. Oh hey, I almost forgot that Battlefield BC2 was terrible, how about that Dead Space game? No, that's trash, same with Mirror's Edge. Oh, yeah their sports games SUCK, oh man, how FIFA 10 and NHL 09 were the absolute worse. Dude those Burnout games are the crap in a baby's diapers. What about Rock Band? I almost forgot about that piece of shit, Mass Effect was totally along there for the ride 'o shit. Whoa, don't forget Dragon Age! That's total poop. Also I forgot how disastrous Crysis was, that game was the retarded step child of Superman 64. Skate? It totally did not revolutionize the skate genre, it turned it into a toilet of mediocrity. I also don't want to forget the games that sucked and will always suck, like Need For Speed, SSX, Freedom Fighters, Road Rash, Populous, Oddworld, Medal Of Honor, Magic Carpet, Sims etc. Wow I almost pissed myself off there.
WOWWWW EA Publish the Best RTS as Well!!!Command and Conquer 4!!!!WoW they published the gmae that kick God of War in the ASS!!!Dante's Inferno!!!! WOW the made an MMO that killed WoW!Warhammer:The Age of Reckoning!!! Bioware have not made a good game before being with EA!!!Yeah KOTOR,Baldur's Gate i&ii SUCK!!!Yeah they have less RPG element than Mass Effect 2!!! WOAH!!!MASS EFFECT 2 is great because the design process involved EA guys directly!!! It will not be this great if EA let Bioware take all their time to put all the contents right? DRAGON AGE?So revolutionary!!!Baldur's gate and Planescape torment follow its footstep!!!
Except they made the previous C&C's which were pretty good apparently. Dante's Inferno was average, not terrible (like what other people claim it to be). And regardless of EA not being a part of the creative process in Bioware, they still bought them and publish their games now, they're EA's peon and thus their new games are classified as EA's as well. Also ME2 is not bad because it has less RPG elements and Dragon Age wasn't supposed to be revolutionary, it's a good game. And plus everyone and their mom is trying to get a piece of WoW's action, don't blame them for trying, from what I heard it's okay. And the extra content thing would've happened regardless, as in look at the lame extra DLC for the first, I doubt we would have the free DLC in ME2 if it weren't for EA.
Pat C&Cs were pretty good but they were in the hands of Westwood guys,EA only publish them. When EA handed the franchise directly to their in-house development tea,,it went downhill in terms of quality and sales. C&C 4 is a stupid adaptation of Modern Warfare mechanic into RTS.It worked in MW because it's an FPS.Playing against a person who has a laser scope sniper rifle is one thing,playing against a person who has a unit that has no counter in your current unlocked forces is a betrayal to the emphasis of tactics and strategy in RTS.Hence the game is terribly unbalance,add that with terrible matchmaking,incomplete single player campaign,broken mechanics with no base building where you only have a few units and a single production center with a hyped name-The Crawler,anti-climatic ending.(spoiler:Kane went into a portal and yeah that's it,the marketed EPIC CONCLUSION) HEY Activision will publish an RTS that is currently in a beta that is the most broken RTS in recent time,unpolished in every single section.Hey Battle Net has worst matchmaking system ever,Steam has the better U.I!Valve is has better online system than Blizzard because they are richer!!!That is why EA is the best!!!That Activision RTS will have the smallest ,thinnest single player campaign ever!!!BOO!!!Hey that secret Blizzard MMO won't do any harm to Star Wars:The Old republic because BioWare games combined together sold more copies than a single Blizzard game!!!Mass Effect 2 sold 1.6 million copies in few months,Wrath of the Lich King only sold 2.8 million copies in a day,,meh Mass Effect 2 sold way more as it is the deepest RPG ever!!! Conclusion:Any publisher can produce good games in any genre,but being the best in several genre is a different thing.Dead space isn't the best survival horror,Command and Conquer isn't the best RTS.Any publisher is capable of marvels and failure,that is why it is wrong to say which one is the best;EA is not the best ,Activision is not the best, Ubisoft is not the best.
I was focusing on publishing prowess, not who developed it but who published it. Also Westwood was shut down in 2003, and all the willing staff from Westwood converged into EA LA (which developed C&C3/4) and only a third of Westwood left EA to pursue other options. I'm not focusing on C&C4 as I never played it and I don't really look forward to playing that one or any other C&C to be honest, I'm not a fan of RTS' so, yeah. Good god man, I didn't even bring up Activision or Blizzard. If you stop sucking on Blizzard's and Crytek's member for just a second, you'll see there's more to games than just comparing every single game to them. Jeez. Also the sales figures? I lol, why? Because Lich King is an expansion, meaning that most people who own WoW and subscribe to it, will buy into it's expansion. Also given by the numbers of players in WoW beforehand, that's why the sales figures are that big. Along with that, you mentioned two games, Old Republic and Blizzard's secret project, both of which are not out yet. You're comparing them NOW? For all we know Old republic can be the greatest MMO since WoW, for all we know. I NEVER said EA is the best, or any of the devs under them are. I implied that they have made great games, not trash as hypnos said. You're stretching this so far out it's unbelievable.
I dislike Ea mostly for many of the games under their belt (loonylion gave good examples on an older thread) but I do admit they did have some great games. Dead space are awesome (even the wii one), and while the sport games are the same boring reptitive junk year after year...it's like pokemon. Why change a good formula? I guess I just hate them most for the nfs series going so bad...I mean seriously-SOO MANY FREAKING GLITCHES IN UNDERCOVER YOU WON'T BELIEVE!!! (Not even gonna bother with shift-this game did come out before that did after all)
EA did make crap, as you say, but they did make a lot of good stuff. And even though their sports franchises are monotonous, sometimes they break through that mold (NHL 09 and FIFA 10 did this, and they are deserving of winning a GotY award for sports game). Finally someone agrees that Dead Space Extraction was awesome. Yeah, that's one thing I hate too, the first Undercover was alright, the second one was terrible, I hated Most Wanted, I did not like Carbon, and I hated Pro Street (it was too derivitive from the franchise and it sucked even after taking away the NFS name). Shift, although still under the NFS name and being so different from the others, was pretty damn good (kinda like a mix of Forza/GT and something more arcade-y). And hopefully Critereon can make a good reboot to the series.. again. If anyone can revive NFS, it's probably Critereon, make it like Hot Pursuit 2 but faster and with new features and they win.
If they combined the crash physics from burnout MAYBE I'd be happy... I still liked burnout 2 the best.
