EA "Embarrassed" by How Good Its 2017 Releases Will Be

This is EA we're talking about. I don't think they actually know how to feel much of anything except arrogance. And maybe resentment on some occasions.Brian Tams said:
Should I be going to EA/gaming hell for not looking forward to any of the titles? Mirror edge seem to be the one that have the faintest spark of curiosity from me. But the game looked very puketastic with a hint of motion-sicknessria.
Then again the only EA games that I like is The Sims *casual gamer alert*.

"...And then you'll give us so much money, and we'll be all, 'no, stop it guys, really, this is too much,' and you'll go 'but we love you so much, you're so good to us, you're just so awesome', and we'll go, 'okay, but can we at least take you for ice cream or something,' and you're like, 'really, you'd do that for us...?'"
A lack of big franchises to exploit hasn't been EA's problem for some time now. Getting them to market in a form that lives up to their promise, in a way that doesn't rely on a lacking network server infrastructure, and that doesn't come with an attached DLC model that makes customers want to spit at them through their teeth, on the other hand...
Seriously, EA. Don't throw yourself the bouquet for the awesomeness you think is coming down the line. Just do one thing really, really well. I mean, so well that no one has any reason to spite you for it. Nothing that feels like it wants to sell you the real game in a year. Nothing that feels like one more trip to the well of a franchise whose loyalists already feel betrayed. Nothing engineered from the start to gouge more money out of paying customers. Nothing that's fundamentally broken across the backs of everyone who trusted you enough to pre-order. Nothing with random drops, in-game currency, user data collection, social media tie-ins, in-game advertising, or cross-platform goofballery. And not the fifty-eighth barely-noticable upgrade of a yearly sports franchise.
One. Solid. No-cause-for-complaints. Game.
After that, you know, you can go back to being EA.

I can't qoute big posts because this phone is really being a c**t right now...but everyone seems to be too EAngried to point out the little niggle,...missing K... "Most of these games we already sort of (k)new were coming, with the new
Battlefield being the only (albeit, slight) surprise."
Sorry, qouting certain sized posts are really stupidly complicated on this device :/

If I were to guess, the on disc DLC is acting up, or they haven't figured out how to phrase "this game will always be online" to delay the up and coming shit storm by a few precious minutes.WolvDragon said:
Due to ongoing issues with the development process, EA has cancelled 2016.Micah Weil said:
OT: Really, EA? About the only thing that even looks slightly interesting from that is the new Mirrors Edge game, and not even that is something that I'm looking to get within the first month of launch.
EA's embarrassed by how good their releases in 2017 will be, but they're also embarrassed by how bad their business practices still are.
Now I enjoy a good EA bashing as much as the next guys, but these things don't mean the same thing. "Embarrassment of riches" is an idiom that means an overabundance of something, while it has much older origins it's a term you often here in pro sports. Mr. Moore here is boasting that they have a good lineup coming out in 2016, he isn't actually "embarrassed" about anything.
I mean is it even proper to use the quotes around 'embarrass' where the guy said 'ment' and you change it to 'ed'? I suppose some liberties can be allowed, but like I just said the manner its used and the manner being quoted don't actually mean the same thing.
I'll be honest, I'm looking forward to Mirrors Edge: Catalyst, Mass Effect: Andromeda and Titanfall 2, though with EA I probably wont get them until I've read some trusted reviews first.
I'm disappointed though, I thought all these were coming out 2016. I just hope extra time = extra quality.

mirrors edge was a game i was really looking forward too but looks like i have to wait even longer. i hope this means for improvement but with EA you never know. dont care about the rest. lets hope i will not lose excitement at that time when mirror comes out.
EA is almost worth existing just based on the humor value of the complete crap that they spew at this point. I do agree with them on one point though, i do think that there games should induce embarrassment on their part, just not for being good...
