I bet you are, like millions of gamers that will not support a always online consoles or games.

Perjoss4089d ago (Edited 4089d ago )

I'm always online, seriously this makes no difference to me at all. I pay for all my games, I'm not afraid of always online. In fact if it helps the gaming industry boost it profits by fighting piracy, 2nd hand games sales and stop people from lending games, then I'm all for it.

But that's just me, I'm not saying everyone else is wrong for not liking it, everyone has their reasons I suppose.

There is always a way around stuff anyway if it really bothers you (unless the online is heavily integrated into the game itself). Buy a copy of the game and leave it in the shrink wrap, play the inevitable hacked version that does not force you to use DRM or any other service that you don't like. Talking about PC gaming obviously.

That's what I'm talking about.
There's enough people like you,and all the whining about used games rumors need to stop.
I am against it, but I'm a dinosaur living in the past and we are in minority.

I was very excited for this but, they added a store so this will be another The Sims where there is very expensive DLC every 15 days...

You are either sort of young or very old and have memory issues.

Besides the internet can go down for various reasons.

Need for Speed as well. Here's to hope that the new one will be a return to form for the franchise.

Gaming1012430d ago

Dead Space was the worst ruining... micro transactions in a full price game, with co op that was mandatory to get all the story and access to certain areas. Sure Rock Band was oversaturated, and Burnout was basically killed off even though it sold a ton on PS3 back in the day.

indysurfn2430d ago

Wow kudos EA! no one can kill a franchisee like you can kill a franchises.

lptmg2430d ago

Sadly, Rock Band died because of Activision shoving one Guitar Hero every 3 months

OldSchoolGamer692431d ago

Madden Football 2006-2018 2018-?

showtimefolks2431d ago

I want mercenaries 1 remaster

chrono12052430d ago

Or a reboot, with all the fun of the first one.

showtimefolks2430d ago

i agree i had a great time with the 1st game and a good time with the sequel

PhoenixUp2431d ago

Dead Space, NBA Live, & Rock Band

indysurfn2430d ago (Edited 2430d ago )

I really liked Burnout and Need for speed and thought no one will able to destroy this game.....I was WRONG!
