Judge Hades Posted September 13, 2005 Posted September 13, 2005 Hades is just wierd like that. He spends more time asking "what's the point" than anything else on these forums. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well, yeah. Its my particular idiom.
GhostofAnakin Posted September 13, 2005 Posted September 13, 2005 I think from now on everyone on this forum should respond with "what's the point" to every single post of Hades, regardless what the post is about. "Console exclusive is such a harsh word." - Darque"Console exclusive is two words Darque." - Nartwak (in response to Darque's observation)
Gabrielle Posted September 13, 2005 Posted September 13, 2005 I prefer Bioware over EA - like any normal person does. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> A good choice. What's EA good for? Sport games?
alanschu Posted September 14, 2005 Posted September 14, 2005 Buying and crushing small companies (i.e. Bullfrog, Origin, Maxis). They distribute The Sims.
Gabrielle Posted September 14, 2005 Posted September 14, 2005 Sounds like one of those evil corporate monopolies. Buying out the little guys (usually better than the big dogs) and killing them off.
alanschu Posted September 14, 2005 Posted September 14, 2005 That would be a decent analogy. EA = humongous.
Volourn Posted September 14, 2005 Author Posted September 14, 2005 EA is awesome. If the 'little guys' were so much better they wouldn't be bought out. They scuked, and deserved to be terminated. Blame them for their patheticness. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.
Laozi Posted September 14, 2005 Posted September 14, 2005 They distribute The Sims. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Nothing could be more condemning People laugh when I say that I think a jellyfish is one of the most beautiful things in the world. What they don't understand is, I mean a jellyfish with long, blond hair.
alanschu Posted September 14, 2005 Posted September 14, 2005 I actually don't mind the Sims, as a product anyways. I don't particularly care for the game, but it is a good idea, and implemented in a fun way. It's a good "gateway" PC game :D I look forward to Will Wright's Spore however.

Child of Flame Posted September 14, 2005 Posted September 14, 2005 When I am a mod, these things will not happen. Or rather they will happen, but the posts will be deleted so fast if I am awake you won't even notice them. Vote for me!
Musopticon? Posted September 14, 2005 Posted September 14, 2005 Anyone who changes his nick to one made up by yours truly, deserves a vote. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears.

Calax Posted September 15, 2005 Posted September 15, 2005 where the heck did he come from? Arn't those guys supposed to make their own threads then get smashed by our mods so we don't have to look at them any more? Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off.
alanschu Posted September 15, 2005 Posted September 15, 2005 I've had it happen to me before when I send a post, and for whatever reason it ends up in a completely different thread. I believe Ender had the same thing happen to him. However, given that he's going to be raising a kid for the next 18 years, I'll not expect to hear anything from him until 2023.
Diogo Ribeiro Posted September 15, 2005 Posted September 15, 2005 Did you honestly expect any less? JE is one of the best cRPG's of recent times. Period. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It truly is a magnificent game. An epic masterpiece set to brainstun, it has taken the RPG genre into new heights. It's even more revolutionary than Fable, which was already a very innovative titles, with such amazing new features as doors that only open for certain kind of characters! Whoa!!
Drakron Posted September 15, 2005 Posted September 15, 2005 EA is awesome. If the 'little guys' were so much better they wouldn't be bought out. They scuked, and deserved to be terminated. Blame them for their patheticness. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Origin was brought off in 1992, they were hardly "little guys" and what killed Origin was Ultima Online ... EA seen that as a cash cow and pulled all Origin resources into it. EA is not that bad but they have the habbit of streamline games to a point what was original is gone, Westwood C&C games were interesting but it seens they abandoned the C&C universe and Westwood did other things (Lands of Lore for example) and now Westwood is gone. That is the problem of EA, they want to streamline game design and simply publish the latest trend on the market and so they will never be inovative, just following someone footsteps. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_Arts
Volourn Posted September 15, 2005 Author Posted September 15, 2005 That's funny. Their line of sports games is what sets the standard for sports games. All sports are comapred to EA tod etermine their quality. Last I checked, the Sims is an EA game and that doesn't follow anyone. You lose. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.
Drakron Posted September 15, 2005 Posted September 15, 2005 There are not many sports games, actually Konami does quite well in europe with their soccer games as there is also CM (Campioship Manager) and other soccer games that are rated better that FIFA. EA does not set the standarts because there is hardly competition in most of the sports they publish for, they cannot dominate soccer because the cost would FAR outweight their profits ... if they tried they would sink and that is why they are unable to dominate the soccer sports sims, because other companies can get official leagues, teams and national teams. They dominate US sports because such sports dont have much expression outside the US and Canada, easy to get the leagues and teams that matter and dominate with name recogniton. As for The Sims ... Maxis is unique, they made it big with The Sims (EA was after Sim City BTW) and so EA fears messing too much with Maxis since they again and again stay up in the sales charts. But beyond TS and SC Maxis only started Spore now, they had a line of "Sims" that they no longer develop.
