Either Digital Foundry's PlayStation 3 debugging station is in desperate need of a new hard drive or else Mass Effect 2 can take anything up to 52 minutes to install for a relatively paltry 4272MB of data, not including the additional downloaded DLC.
Today EA hosted its Investors Day, and Chief Executive Officer Andrew Wilson talked about the company's dedication to generative AI.
He's so excited to layoff more employees for FAKE STUPIDITY computer programing to replace them.
Hopefully EA takes a nosedive just like Ubisoft is currently doing. Lack of money is the only thing that can hurt them and possibly change them.
Of course it is. EA has been lazy for years. Profiting for investors and themselves without putting in the work. Having AI write code or build graphics for them just makes them even more lazy.
I'd laugh if those same investors built "executive code" and got rid of EA's CEO and board of directors and replaced them with AI.
Today Electronic Arts hosted its Investors Day and its executives shared what's next for the Battlefield franchise.
ohh god, here we go!
This is exactly why the gaming industry is failing. It's now an industry of suits "trying to find the fun".
...I'll help you out a little, If you're trying to find it, then it's not fun and neither are you. move on!
Honestly, get them to sit down and play Bad Company 2 together.
If they can't see why that had the magic, they shouldn't be game developers.
The CEO of EA has iterated his massive ambitions about the next Battlefield entry in the new Q1 2025 financial results.
It ain't Bad Company 3 ... so stop false-promising ... but make it current-gen only plz ... it'll be 2025 ffs
More intentionally released broken games with micro-trash-actions, and of course fake apologies written by ChatGPT instead of doing it yourself because you don't give a crap if you sell people garbage for their hard earned money.
Ass.
Isn't that the whole point of having a "series" of games? Isn't the follow-up supposed to be inherently better or "more ambitious" than the previous entries? Unfortunately, this has not been the case for Battlefield in quite some time. I've still never even redeemed the free BF 2042 code I got a year and a half ago lol. Such a shame, used to be one of my favorite shooters back in the day.
lol wut
That's a long ass install if you have a near full HDD but is this install mandatory?
I will be installing no matter what and I personally don't care if it took 2 hours to install even. Still I gotta recognize this is a long install and a weird one at that (with the amount ofavailable space on HDD affecting install times).
This and LBP2 getting straight 10s is a win for gaming. Keep on truckin' PS3.
This is not up for discussion.. if the game desires a mandatory install.. then so be it.
52 minutes for just over 4.2 Gig doesn't seem right to me. The install for GT5 was double (or more) and it installed in less time than that.
I don't care about mandatory installs, as they are only a one off and make the game run better. Its not hard to find something to do while games install. (make a cuppa, sandwich, have a smoke, read manual, etc).
you'd think they would have known the more stuff you have on any HDD the longer it takes to install.
