Extremely deserving. Sims 3, what a cluster **** that was.

 

[Project_A]

Don't forget Capcom.

 

[snappahead]

Congratulations, EA! If I'm not mistaken, that makes two years in a row. Very impressive.

 

[snappahead]

Don't forget Capcom.

They've certainly given EA a run for their money this past year.

 

[Spartan Rex]

Don't forget Capcom.

I give Capcom a pass at present because of Dragons Dogma and the upcoming DLC

 

[WesMordine]

Capcom is not an American company...

 

[Snake Plissken]

Don't forget Capcom.

They've destroyed all their stable franchises. They should just start fresh with all their franchises and ignore the BS they have put out in the last few years.

 

[Project_A]

Capcom is not an American company...

I know.

Haha talk about a **** company.

I've been doing my part and voting. I wonder how many years we can get them voted as the worst in America. Peter Moore's comments are just further proof of the crap they spew- ”Some claim there’s no room for Origin as a competitor to Steam. 45 million registered users are proving that wrong.” Really? Maybe that is because YOU FORCE THEM to register to even touch your games!

LOL, it is a less than impressive number when gamers have no choice. I doubt a single person would be using Origin if they were able to choose.

They're a semifinalist, not the final choice.

The "DLC" you have to buy the game again to play? You're giving them a pass because of that?

LOL, it is a less than impressive number when gamers have no choice. I doubt a single person would be using Origin if they were able to choose.

I've used Origin without being forced to, and for the most part it's fine.

I wonder if you're equally as upset that Valve makes us use Steam to play those games.

Between last year's voting taking place shortly after the ME3 debacle, and things like this:

We’ve seen mailing lists that direct people to vote for EA because they disagree with the choice of the cover athlete on Madden NFL. Yes, really…
In the past year, we have received thousands of emails and postcards protesting against EA for allowing players to create LGBT characters in our games. This week, we’re seeing posts on conservative web sites urging people to protest our LGBT policy by voting EA the Worst Company in America.

let's not pretend these are fair and level-headed people voting.

Honestly, the fact that they were voted the worst last year over Bank of America made gamers look like a bunch of spoiled brats.

EA's done a lot wrong, hell look at Simcity, but it's utterly ridiculous that they are getting this much hate.

 

[Spartan Rex]

I haven't bought the game yet anyway.

 

[snappahead]

Out of curiosity, Bane what did you use Origin for by choice?

Yeah, I don't like being forced to use Steam or any of the service set ups TBH. I'd prefer the old fashion way.

When I play Diablo, I have to be signed into Battlenet, when I play Farcry 3 I need to be signed into Uplay, when I pla Crysis 3 I need to be signed into Origin and when I want to play anything else, I need to be signed into Steam. All of which require regular updates and have their own quirks and problems. I remember just putting the disc in the tray and playing.

Syndicate and Mass Effect 2.

Good on you for being consistent regarding the online services. Many people seem to give EA tons of crap over Origin yet love Steam. Apologies that I assumed you were one of them.

While services like the ones you mentioned don't bother me much, I do understand your feeling on them. It really sucked when I tried to play Diablo 3 that first week and had so many problems. And Simcity's issues have completely turned me off from buying it. That said, I do like to keep stuff consolidated some. I really try to keep my games in Steam, Origin, and Gog.

Do you play on consoles much? Thoughts on all the Xbox always-on rumors?

I don't remember EA raising my health insurance rates while simultaneously lowering my coverage.
