After a week or so of EA's Charity Event "Humble Bundle", the download area is rocking round to the 2 Million mark with a view to surpassing that amount this coming weekend.
With a slew of websites and social media portals using the codes as promotional tools for their respective pages, the 5 charities involved are reaping serious amounts of vital cash therefore it is imperitive to keep the program's momentum for the next 5 days when it's expected the program will bow out gracefully with a smile.
This news post will link you directly to the purchase area to continue all the good work and a hearty congratulations to all those that may or have taken part in this truly awesome event.
If you spend more than the average donation (currently $4.85), on top of receiving The Sims 3 and Battlefield 3, you will now also get C&C Red Alert 3 and Populous, bargain. Plus as well as the Origin codes you also get select codes for Steam. Boom!
You can also view the video that explains how to purchase the codes right there on the page by scrolling down.
An executive of Electronic Arts Japan has criticised the Japanese video game ratings board for allowing upcoming action game Stellar Blade to be released uncensored while EA's own Dead Space was banned in the country.
He’s got a point. If a game is M-Rated, which is the equivalent of an R rating, I don’t get why you need to censor anything. The rating is the indicator of the content and the age appropriate. If it’s appropriate for adults… why treat them like children? 🤷♂️
I don't know if the EA executive is going off the one close up of an arm being cut off in the demo. Maybe it's uncensored because it's the arm of a cyborg or it doesn't happen that often (didn’t see EVE dismemberment when killed in the demo) .
In the states there's a certain amount of swear words allowed to a PG13 movie before it is deemed R. So maybe it's the same in Japan for gore?
Ibrahim from eXputer: "The Medal of Honor franchise was once the crown jewel of FPS war games, later defeated by the tides of time and poor development."
They tried to turn it into Call of Duty and it killed it off. They should reboot it and go back to it's roots. But they'd ruin it with online-only/multiplayer style bullshit so why bother? I have very fond memories of these games, but this series can stay dead as far as I'm concerned.
Was literally just thinking of this game the other week with the secret nut cracker mission and the shooting Bismarck dog lmao. Loved these games as a kid
I have fond memories of playing the Medal of Honor Breakthrough MP Demo. It had two maps and custom servers. Living on campus, I had it downloaded on one of the PC Lab servers so I could access it on any computer at the university. Joined a clan and made friends that I still keep in touch with today.
The remake teased an expanded universe, but now a sequel has no chance of delivering on it.
Honestly i believe it was mainly as retaliation for the original devs breaking off and making colisto protocol. They've done this a few times, ignoring fan demands for the return of a belived ip until someone does it for them, then they retaliate by only then announcing an entry. Colisto protocol was announced and EA announced the remake shortly after, Session finally hit consoles and skate 4 was announced, shortly after Undisputed was shown off, talks started happening about a new fight night.
It was a solid game and we'll have to move on and accept it for what it is. Just because we're not getting a sequel (original or remake) doesn't mean there's no point anymore in what is a great, tense, well-paced single player experience. No one's taking Dead Space Remake away.
I just hope that the game isn't so technically stitched together on PC that driver updates render the game unplayable like what happened with me and my RTX 4070 last year, requiring a driver downgrade just months after the game came out. If you're a console player then you've got no worries.
Most likely for EA to cash in on the remake craze that followed Capcom when they started remaking RE games. I am glad EA did it I enjoy the game. DS is one of my favorite franchises love the sci fi horror shit. What I don't like is EA not remaking DS2. So DS1 remake did not do well with the numbers so what. DS2 has a solid fanbase and is probably the best entry in the franchise depending on the fan. DS2 remake would have been a day one for me but I got a reminder on why I hate EA. Scrap the DS2 remake for a shitty Iron Man game.
It's because the gaming community want remakes and remasters over new games.
I think that is for the best of the franchise o be left alone then to be turned into a game as a service or something like that, EA has the awful habit of trying to monetize everything.
Well...it's a hell of a deal.
Dead Space 3 is already in the bundle? Sad.
got it for $1 last week...already had all the games, but gave them to friends :)
I buy every bundle, heck, it's only a dollar, even if I have all the games
I also always get suckered into giving a dollar at stores too when they ask if its for some good cause, or to hobos
i'm not rich, but I can spare a dollar if its for something good!
Some really nice deals, gonna pick some up later.
Whew, almsot forgot to send in my donation. Well done EA looking forward to the next one.
