Mirror's Edge was a good idea done badly.
Dragon Age was horrible and 2 was even worse.
I am glad you are on the boards to keep our fun level in check.

(BTW, I agree with your list)

I never expected YOU to enjoy all of those. I did, though. Some of those are on my top 10 list of games, too.

The Simpsons game is also not a straight knock of crazy taxi. That was also a mechanical patent case.
Saying this proves you have never played either game.

I liked Dragon Age enough to complete three times. That doesn't happen often these days. Like me some Mass Effect too.

EA have given me a lot of joy this gen. Dead Space and Mass Effect are my favorite franchises during the last 5 years. Mirror Edge, Need for Speed, Crysis, Fifa, NHL, Syndicate, and SSX are other favorites. No other publisher can match this for me.

I know they make some decisions that we as gamers might not like, but as a huge company they need to try their best to make money. We live in a world of capitalism, deal with it. Don't like it? Don't buy the product and don't whine like a bitch.

I see people here gladly accept the changes Valve made to their EULA. When EA and Sony did the same these people gave them a hard time. I'm not saying all of us should love EA, but why can't we be more level headed?

Historicallly speaking, Valve has done more for those consumers than EA or Sony. They get the benefit of the doubt. That's being level-headed. But that is another debate.

Can't agree with that, the first Mass Effect was half-baked garbage. The second game is the only one in the series worth playing.

Hmmm, if you cut out the planet landing stuff from EVERY game in the series and the mini game collecting resources...

I'd have to agree the first 2 are great sci-fi adventure rpgs.

Dead Space is awesome and is so great that I forgive EA. They finally made a new IP.

To say EA has done nothing of worth is just childish.

Savok is not jaded. He's just a jade. It'd be like blaming oscar the grouch for being a grouch.

Zynga, the only game company I know that will consistently patch games to make them less fair and less fun, get people addicted to horrible, horrible games, and make you hate those people for it by turning them into mindless spambots. I hope EA sues them into ashes.

They had a good idea, executed it badly then panicked and padded the game with useless shit and daddy issues. ME2 at its best was better then ME1 though, that just rarely happened.

I hear savok lives in the zero punctuation guy's basement and survives off the condensation that forms on his water pipes.

Btw, I like EA's games but the fact that they have straight copied other companies games in the past and been sued because of it means I give three shits when someone copies them. Karma is a bitch.

I've only put one person on this site on ignore, and it had nothing to do with gaming whatsoever.

Also, I was joking about EA being "evil". Good grief people, calm down.
