Can you remember the last time you actually cared about an EA game?

Battlefield 4.

Tarogar,

I recently saw a documentary that talked about conditions at EA even back in the 90’s turns out I never cared for an EA game ever. I cared about the studios making them despite the fact that EA made ridiculously stupid choices.

    Aw, man, underrated. Great in VR, too.

    I guess it depends a lot on your background. I thought it felt simple compared to the old X-Wing series but not necessarily dumbed down, they did a decent job streamlining it for a modern take.

    I guess that means some people can find it too slow and intricate and others too arcadey. I imagine the Skate guys are having to make a lot of those same decisions for a lot of those same reasons.

    Kelly,

    Hazelight Studios has been doing OK under their publishing umbrella.

    I played a fair amount of Jedi Fallen Order. Someone said Squadrons below, too, and I agree.

    Titanfall 2 is an all-timer.

    Split Fiction is sitting at second on the Steam best sellers at the moment. Reviews are sitting at "overwhelmingly positive".

    The Command and Conquer remaster was maybe the best contemporary remaster this gen, even before they released the source code.

    Oh, and the Dead Space remake. That was great. Should have done better.

    Lost in Random? Underrated. Should have done better, too.

    I don't know, man. Companies don't make games, people make games, and a LOT of people make games under EA.

    tiramichu,

    I do want to play the Dead Space remake, but I won’t buy it unless the DRM is removed from it on Steam.

    catloaf,

    It Takes Two was pretty well received.

    Eh. That’s not a big of a loss as you’re making it out to be. I purposely buy my games, I want to own them. (Asterisk with licensing and all). Point being that I don’t agree with Ubisoft that we need to get used to Games as a Service. I don’t want to rent my games. Even mid tier games, I want to own them.

    Ledivin, (edited )

    But… you still don’t own it. You own an Ubi EA-controlled, revocable license to play the game.

    donuts,

    Ubi? I thought Dragon Age was EA

    Ledivin,

    lol fair enough, it’s Bioware, but the point still stands

    donuts,

    Ah I thought I missed the news and Ubi purchased the rights or something. The point does still stand, yeah. Parent comment made the same point too

    Eldest_Malk,

    I mean it’s the same for Steam.

    Edit: I’m dumb. I didn’t read the parent comment.

    scrubbles,
    !deleted6348 avatar

    and if they let me buy it license free I would. However between the options of buying a license to play a game whenever I want vs renting it for 1 month, I’ll take the license.

    This is a little sad. Both SM1 and MM were great on release day for me. Got the right when they came out and they both lead with great reviews out of the box.

    Hopefully this is something they can fix pretty quickly. I want to play as a Symbiote, dammit!

    Albbi,

    Super Mario 1 and Megan Man both were great on release!

    JeeBaiChow,

    Then Luigi had his issue and Megan fox went all cray.

    ampersandrew, do games w DICE Awards 2025 Nominations Revealed With Astro Bot, Helldivers 2, and Indiana Jones in the Lead - IGN
    @ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

    I can only speak for the games I’m most familiar with, and apparently that same problem exists with how these nominees are chosen too, just like the Keighleys. For a second, I thought perhaps the people suggesting the nominees had not heard of Indika, because Indiana Jones and the Great Circle was nominated for narrative and Indika was not. The fighting game category doesn’t hold up very well either, because while the Khaos Reigns expansion is a bit of a stretch, Underdogs is even more of a stretch. Sure, maybe the people submitting nominees haven’t heard of Diesel Legacy (which would be my pick for fighting game of the year), but could you at least be aware of Rivals of Aether II? They didn’t even get Under Night on the list!

    abigscaryhobo,

    It’s the problem when you have public voting on these, the ones more people know about are the ones that rise up. If it’s panel selected then it’s (almost always) rigged by whoever is giving the award to show off their game instead of the actual good one.

    I mean look at the Steam awards, Liars Bar won “Most Innovative Gameplay”. Liars Bar, the game that is literally bluffing cards and dice, a game that has been around for literal centuries, “most innovative”

    @chakan2@lemmy.world avatar

    They would’ve done better with the IP to license it to Nintendo. Smash is the end all for this type of game.

    ampersandrew,
    @ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

    That’s definitively untrue, and why would Nintendo take that deal anyway?

    fern,

    If you mean plat fighters, Rivals 2 is making waves by being a good game first and a platform to sell IPs last.

    @missingno@fedia.io avatar

    Rivals has found its niche, but I don’t think even that is pulling in the kinds of numbers Warner expects for a AAA they sunk this much money into.

    ampersandrew,
    @ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

    I don’t think this game is AAA or that they sunk much money into it. From what I can tell, they just fell $100M short of very optimistic revenue projections based on high initial player numbers.
