Shitass support main. Hipfires with LMG mid-range, prones in the middle of the street, drops no ammo kits, somehow managed to die 3 times in the end.

Is it your position that cheaters are inevitable and publishers should not do anything to prevent them from cheating?
Bartsbigbugbag@lemmy.ml 8 months ago
My position is that community moderated servers are significantly more effective at controlling cheaters than any intrusive anti-cheat has ever been, and that the rise in intrusive anti-cheat coinciding with the death of community and self hosted servers is not a coincidence.

Couldn’t bother really, game companies nowadays make such bad games anyway. The only good ones are the Playstation and Xbox exclusives ported to PC, because those games have to be good to be a selling point of the console. Meanwhile EA Ubisoft and friends just rely on using the same franchise name to sell copies

Halo Infinite and Forza Motorsport say hello

Have they addressed the issues with the Multiplayer in Forza Motorsport? FH5s Multiplayer was unplayable

Meanwhile most other ports wave happily back, although quite a few had a rough start

Small and self published devs are the way forward, capitalist corps can and will eventually optimize the fun out of every game they touch in search of profit margins.

I’ll see if i can get a refund. Made the poor decision to re-buy the game on Steam after owning it on Origin (a lot easier to store it on an external drive on steamdeck)
Kinda evident to how badly Battlefield 2048 is going that they’re still even bothering to update BFV.

Now that helldivers works, I care less, even as a big battlefield player

Wait that company still exists?? Huh TIL!
I thought the company died once people got the shits with them and stopped buying anything from them.

I wish things worked that way, but I suspect EA will continue to persist as a tumor.
drislands@lemmy.world 8 months ago
What company, EA? When did people stop buying their games?
cooopsspace@infosec.pub 8 months ago
Idk for me it was around the time of Battlefield 1.
archchan@lemmy.ml 8 months ago
That’s why I didn’t buy Battlefield 2042. If I’m in the mood, I play Battlefield 4. Works on Linux

No EA game is worth the hassle.

EA has published some absolute bangers:
SimCity (1989)
SimCity 2000 (1993)
Dungeon Keeper (1997)
Lots of Ultima games (90s)
The Sims (2000)
Medal of Honor (2000)
Command & Conquer games (early 2000s)
SSX (2000)
… Was Battlefield 2142 (2006) good? They didn’t make the first two games.
Does Spore (2008) count? The game was shit, and had DRM that only let you install it 3 times ever per license, and didn’t do what it said it would with massive over promise and under deliver. But it was ambitious and different, at least?
Dead Space (2008)
Mirror’s Edge (2008)
Dragon Age: Origins (2009)
Mad Effect 2 (2010) (they didn’t make 1)
Plants vs. Zombies (2011)
I’m tired of going through this list, lol. There are a zillion “next sportsball version” games and mobile games to sift through. Also, turns out some of the best EA games I remember were only published by them but made by another developer… Until EA bought them out, lol.

No ea game is worth the hassle because if it isn’t made into some form of pay to win lootbox shitfest, EA is likely to can the game and the developer all together. N E V E R trust ea with singleplayer.

Battlefield 2142 was ambitious. It included one of the most fun Battlefield game modes I’ve played (Titan), and in my opinion the main reason it bombed somewhat was that it came out way too quickly after Battlefield 2, which was still ragingly popular with PC gamers, and the player base didn’t have much appetite for changing over to a new game.
