Puuk goes to EA

Congrats Puuk, and good luck at EA. Hope they make some better games. Lord of the Rings: the sims expansion pack?
 
Hmm... I own more EA games than games from any other company, so I don't think their games suck. Well, they're mostly sports games that I gladly fork over cash every year for new versions, but thats because I feel that they are so much better than anything else out there. As for killing Origin, yeah, thats pretty unforgivable- Origin basically got me interested in computer games...
 
Many of the games are preety nice, but they always bitched everything for money.

I miss Bullfrog so much :( :( :( I think i'm going to play dungeon keeper now.
 
EA does suck. When the do make a good game, they eaither milk it untill it sucks or kill it off.

I loved Motor City Online, it was badass, then they killed all the servers on a online only game, so they could make people pay for need for speed underground. GAY!

What am I to do with my MCO now?

Hmm, maybe we're looking at this the wrong way. Maybe Puuk is exactly what EA needs in order to restore confidence in fans with kick ass games!

Not quite.

Imagine EA's boardroom. You've seen Dogma, right? :twisted:

I hate shooting people

"This is what I believe in"...How corny.

Oh, and Puuk, congrats!
 
So kharn walks around in the boardroom telling things like:
"Mr Caen! He travelled to Thailand to have sex with a 12-year old boy!"


I don't believe in voodoo :wink:
 
Hear ye, when i tell the sad saga of Larkin.

Larkin was very sad, because he was inept, and failed his Differential Maths test. He then gathered his friends and brashly proclaimed "I shall embark on a quest for happiness, and it will involve intoxication, and searching for female company"
And the crowd let out a huge cheer and followed him onwards, and soon were lost from sight, in the blistering cold and raging snow.

It so happened, when Larkin was very inebriated, that some lousy bastard stole his hat and his precious gloves.
Unfettered by this, he continued.
One by one, almost all of his brave companions either found pleasurable company, or found peace in the alcohol-imbued slumber. Larkin was disheartened, but lo! Nearing the hours of midnight, he found a raven-haired lass, who led him for a pleasant conversation.
But alas!
The lass had not informed that he already had a boyfriend, who was soon revealed to be vexed by alcohol, and being a heathen bastard. The angry suitor grabbed a handful of Larkin's hair and smashed his head on the table.
Letting out a great whoop, Larkin reached his assailant in a flat dive. The following struggle has been sung by skalds all around the country. After the order-keepers of the meadhall ejected the warriors, they were scolded by the lady. Ashamed they declared a truce, and headed to different directions.

There was poor Larkin. All alone in a cold, dark night, without his hat or gloves, and with a twisted nose.


Damn... that was long... Fun writing it tho :lol:

Wrong thread? :look:

EA are terrible. They have no respect for ANYTHING other than money.

No shit, it's called capitalism.

Seriously, I respect EA because they released some of my favorite game series, like Sim City, Need For Speed, FIFA, Battlefield 1942, USNF and the Strike series (you know, Desert Strike... from Amiga 500...). What I hate about them is their capitalist greed and over-exploitation of franchizes. They're a typical evil corporation, which automatically marks them as enemy in my eyes (Can you believe that here in Croatia BF1942 still has outrageous 50$ price tag?! That game is practically ancient!). But on the other hand, they wouldn't be dishing out dozens of sequels and expansions if there wasn't a market for them. Which brings us to another issue: what kind of a moron would pay 30 bucks just to get new furniture for his virtual Sims house?! Reminds of that guy who purchased F:PoS just so that he could feel his controller rumble when his character screws Ruby the prostitute. Damn, I could go to a casino with those 30 bucks, turn them into 30 000 and get new furniture for my real house!

Uh... what was this thread about, anyway?

I can just imagine blood splattering over the Interplay logo. A Dogma twofer sounds cathartic for the industry.

Actually, that saying comes mostly from a knight's belief in their steel. In lieu of a sword, I would have probably picked that piece.

Of course, I also was fond of the Holy Bartender school of mixing drinks, too. If you haven't already, check out the missing Azriel's Rant clip at ViewAskew.com. It puts a lot of things into perspective, and Smith's ass would have been even more loathed by the fundies for that one, though I can see how logical it is.

Tsk, tsk. You should know it's Darth Molester's sin of that. The molesting of 11 year-old Thai boys through crappy games.

[Kharn sees the janitor]
Kharn: You, on the other hand, are an innocent. You lead a good life. Good for you. But you, Mr. Caen, you have more skeletons in your closet than the rest of this assembled party. I cannot even mention them aloud.
[Kharn whispers something in Caen's ear]
Rosh: They're your own employees, you sick fuck.
[Caen starts crying, well, if he had a soul.]
 
The only EA franchise I care about anymore is Need for Speed. I'm probably going to start a flame war over this, but I think that Sega makes the better sports games anyway...

I'd get into EA Sports NASCAR Thunder more, but the career mode starts off way too hard and it's too easy to spin out even with traction control enabled unless you have the suspension just right. And none of the other games interest me. If they would only take more risks like Rockstar and make more M-rated games, they'd be higher in my view.

On the other hand, I'll go ahead and take a serious look at the Lord of the Rings RTS. Here's hoping it's good. :wink:

In all seriousness, I got a great offer and it really is a great project. I'll always prefer CRPG's, but I've got a family and house to support, so I go where opportunity takes me. And you should see the perks around here - oy! :shock:

GOOD LUCK WITH EA GAMES DAMIEN. I HOPE YOU GET TO MAKE REALLY GOOD GAMES THAT AREN'T CANCELLED.

If I shout it, people believe me.

I do look forward to a Sims 2: The Hobbit expansion pack though. Seriously. Marrying a Hobbit would be cool. You'd also save on house building 'cause you wouldn't need big rooms.

They once had a development house that did quite a lot of things that Rockstar is known for. Two, in fact. Then they killed them off.

Now that you mention it, there was once an ultraviolent PSX fighting game called Thrill Kill. EA were supposed to release it, but when the game was done they suddenly changed their minds. Imagine how distasteful and controversial a game must be if a publisher decides to shelf it after it's already been finished. Or maybe EA are just a bunch of lame false moralists who think Battlefield 1942 is somehow less violent because blowing up a US soldier with a Panzerfaust doesn't cause him to fly across the screen in pieces. Gee, I wonder if EA would be willing to sell Thrill Kill to Interplay. Supposedly that game had some rather freaky characters, so they could simply slap a new name on it and release it as a sequel to Planescape Torment.
 
One word that is coming to me mind...:

WESTWOOD

So real time strategy was THE thing for me,
and still is, next to to turn-based games.

I played me dumb with C&C Red Alert,
Red Alert 2 was quite fine, still one of the
games for LAN, even if IPX sucks, and
the tunneling under Linux is backbreaking.

So C&C General... OK... But... Where was C&C??? the Hell?

Me does not like EA.
Yes, Desert Strike and Jungle Strike were great,
don't know how many hours I wasted with them.
:)
But these were other times...
Sounds pathetic, but thats the same to me...

Ultima was never my kind of game,
but that did not hinder watching over a
friends shoulder when playing through,
one title after the another. :D

That for EA...

For PUUK,
GOOD LUCK!!!
:D
Everyone should understands the reason,
don't get your soul swallowed by the evil...
Just kidding. :wink:
