EA's fuckery is what happened

frostypants1933d ago

It's always been an EA franchise though.

MajorLazer1932d ago

EA were lesser cu**s back in the days

Gaming1011932d ago

Dude, if you take a hammer and replace the head, then later replace the handle, is it the same hammer? Same goes for company executives.
New Executives only care about increased profitability at the cost of everything else, so they charge full price for a game then include mobile game revenue mechanics to make people grind it out playing the game, slowing progression to a grinding crawl, hoping you'll just pay more money to not have to play as much of the game to finally advance. That is the gaming industry today, and it's not just EA.

Muzikguy1932d ago

That’s exactly it. EA happened. What was once a great franchise and fun to play is no more

Jls11933d ago

simple EA shutdown Black Box and ever since its been trash. Except hot pursuit 2010

LucasRuinedChildhood1933d ago

They also seem to have messed with Criterion despite the fact that Criterion kept the franchise relevant last gen. Hot Pursuit was awesome and Most Wanted was good fun as well. It shouldn't have been called Most Wanted but that was EA's call.

chris2351933d ago

they said they wanted to take a year off in 2018 because of franchise fatigue. i‘m sure there will be another one this year. no need to blog about it.

Yi-Long1933d ago

Always Online, DLC greed, MTs, etc etc. The usual suspects.

Can’t be upset with this one.

Terry_B1296d ago

Some people are always upset..no matter what they get

Retroman1295d ago

N4S payback was Craptastic to it's fullest.........just as Heat is.

sushimama1296d ago

Excellent. Never played Vampyr

FanboySpotter1296d ago

You go by metacritic so you're not gonna enjoy that game unfortunately.

CobraKai1296d ago

That’s why you don’t go by metacritic.

Final_Aeon1296d ago

It goes both ways - it could be a warning against trying a subpar game. Or, like in quite a few cases media outlets docked it too many points for small imperfections. I'm also looking forward to playing Vampyr.

Hakuoro1296d ago (Edited 1296d ago )

That's funny because I remember people talking it up when it was one of the games on game pass.

I guess what console it's on decides if it's fun or not.

sushimama1296d ago

It's above 70%.... worth a try

sushimama1296d ago

On second thought, to be honest, maybe I won't try it out. Not the greatest month this month.

Gaming4Life19811295d ago

😭damn that had to be a slap in the for sushimama after their post on the xbox article.

Vampyr was on my radar and then i played on gamepass and it wasnt good to me but lots of people like it and its free so everyone should at least try it.

I thoroughly enjoyed Vampyr. But, lots of people have specific things they're critical of and it's not perfect at anything. So, who knows.

I like that I can try a NFS game w/o paying more than I already do per month for it. I doubt I'll like it, but, at least it's there to try.

Gaming4Life19811295d ago (Edited 1295d ago )

NFS payback sucks but hey its free so give it a try you might like .

Yea i thought vampyr was pretty bad and i love vampires but i just could not find anything good about it. We need a new legacy of kain and soul reaver.

Kurt Russell1295d ago

It's not a great one, I played a fair bit of it myself... It's playable is all I can really say.

Relientk771296d ago

I absolutely loved Vampyr. It's an underrated gem. The combat can be kind of clunky, but the story, characters, setting, abilities, and everything else is great.

RazzerRedux1296d ago

Was a very good game. Just needed more a-hole NPCs that I didn't mind killing to level up.

Spenok1295d ago

That's the point though! They can't make it too easy to kill just anyone (unless you're just a self absorbed a-hole yourself).

RazzerRedux1295d ago (Edited 1295d ago )

"They can't make it too easy to kill just anyone"

And that isn't what I said. Come back after you actually played the game and then talk about it.

Spenok1296d ago

I've been wanting to play this since it launched. Never got around to it though. So this is a really nice treat.

TheColbertinator1296d ago

Payback was awful. Worst NFS game this gen.

LiViNgLeGaCY1296d ago

Many people say the exact opposite.
