Default Whats with EA DAMMIT!???????

Ok what the fuck?


I'm mad.


Just about everything that EA puts its money into is utter shit.


What is this cheap alternative of porting console games to PC?


FIFA series, console port. NBA/NFL/NHL console ports. Need for speed console port.

Meaning no porper mouse support, limited options customization (graphics) shit controlls setup etc etc.


No wide screen support and mega low screen resolutions. I tried FIFA and the highest I could was 1280x1024??? Thats just great on my native 1680x1050 :roll:



Now I am mad because I waisted my time and bandwith getting these games and then installing them instead of doign something productive.


Now I'd be fucking furious if I actually went out and bought the games(although Im furious anyway). Can you imagine? Waisting 2 hours to go to the mall, then waisting 1 hour installing and setting up the game. THen waist another hour trying the game to see if its worth playing. Then spending another hour uninstalling the game and writing a thread on a forum or telling your buddy on MSN messenger how shitty a game you just waisted money on.

Thats 5 hours in total. On a good day I could make 200$ in that time (no Im not a male escort, nor a lawyer, and drug dealers dont make that much. Unless you Pablo Escobar but those days are rare anyway, its more like 20$ 99% of the time ).


Now I havent even bought any of those titles and I feel entitled to some conspencation for the time I waisted "downloading" and installing the game. Fuck I want 3 hours of my life back!


Now what about all the people that actually pay for the game? Feel sorry for them eh? Gotta show them the way to private torrent trackers (and hey, its not only games you get, that HD porn is fucking good shit...you can see Jenna's pussy like never before, you can see shit you never seen in person, the high rez is like a microscope, if you look hard enough you can see all the little sperm battling it out to see whose gonna fall victim to the birth control pill first, no such fun if they use a ballon though....*hd pron is da bomb!)


And what about the retards who submit to EA and buy/support their fucking titles? You are the cause of all this. You are the problem. If you didnt support them, they'd be forced to make a better product.



RANT OVER!

EA has been shit for a long time anyway. If you want a soccer/football game, go buy Winning Eleven. If you want a racing game, go buy gran turismo. If you want a basketball game, go buy something from the 2k series.

Oh wait... no PC ports for those... I guess EA is the only choice then.

You outlined exactly why I have no PC games on my PC, but instead have emulators (N64 emulator + Zelda, Super Mario 64, Goldeneye, and Super Smash Brothers = goodness!).

EA is to the gaming industry what Disney is to the movie industry.

The thing that pisses me off about EA so much is the fact that they release games before they're actually done, and the other thing is the amount of LAG that they're servers have, it feels like i'm playing on a 56 k server.

Let me see if I still have it (I'm pretty sure I have it zipped somewhere), and if I do, I'll upload it for everyone to DL.

you really want to play sports games with a mouse?

go out and buy a 20$ controller and solve your problems.

also if you went to the stores and read the box of the games you would find out the answer to alot of your problems

EA nuthugger!


Yes I do want to play sports games with a mouse. I played the FIFA series since 98. With a keyboard and mouse.

Even if I use my vintage gravis pad does this make console ports right? No.

And I do check out boxes, through the internet. And the pictures look mighty fine.

Apparently there is one. But I've never seriously looked for it though (I have a working PS2, so I never bothered)
