EA Slings More Mud at Activision

[DeadlyYellow]

If only both games would fail miserably. It would certainly add a delicious ironic twist.

It's not plausible, but one can dream.

 

[Trogdor1138]

I hope both of your shitty games fail. Both of you need to stop being dicks. EA will look especially stupid if they don't succeed as much as they'd like to with their game, they've already severely limited their audience by only having it on Origin...

That said, I think CoD doesn't have much steam left in it, which I'm happy about (no offense to fans).

 

[Redratson]

EA wishes it had Activision's sales numbers.

Heh, with the way BF3's goin (BF fanboy here btw) it looks like that will be the case.

 

[roflmecopter]

Well both of these companies suck balls

 

[RaikuFA]

I'm surprised there are even people defending Activision. Bobby Kotick's mouth has cause enough damage to that company. And I'm sorry but bringing up the Guitar Hero and Tony Hawk failures was a great point. Activision hasn't really published anything else worth playing other than CoD and that's a problem. Look at what relying on one franchise did to Square Enix.

this, this sooooo much

activision really needs to fire that guy once and for all

 

[Frostbite3789]

Okay, you know what? I'm just going to say it. Shut the fuck up EA. Get over yourself. Seriously. Make games, promote your games, sell your games. That's FINE. That's fucking GREAT. Good on ya'. But when you start attacking other devs, slinging shit like a school yard bully? Yeah, there's where people start losing all respect for you. And this applies to ALL companies, not just EA and Activision. People need to just shut up and focus on making a product that is good and will sell on its own merit, instead of just making a product and trying to sell more by flat-out insulting your contemporaries.

Honestly? I think it's about damn time somebody in the industry publicly called out Actimoney for killing Guitar Hero and Tony Hawk. They're actively doing the same thing to CoD, but people seem to want to turn a blind eye. Finally is all I have to say.

It's so sure to fail, it wins best of show at every trade show it's been at. Meanwhile MW3 has gotten zero recognition. It's no doubt what will sell more (MW3 in case you're a bit daft). But it's also no doubt what is clearly, objectively the better game at this juncture.

The hilarious thing is that fans hate them both in numerous quantities and they believe this one-up-man-ship helps any.

 

[MortisLegio]

I'm in this state where I don't particularly support either EA or Activision in this fued. I don't care who wins, I just want to see who loses.

I want to see Activision lose because it would be great to Call of Duty knocked off its perch so that they can either improve their COD games or start up a fresh new franchise. And I want EA to lose because their publicity for Battlefield 3 (or rather, against Activision) has been annoying me, along with their recent business decisions.

this in its entirerty

like watching a monster rampage through a city
no one cares who wins as long as both are destroyed at the end

 

[Raolan]

I call for EA and Activision to enter the Field of Justice and battle it out to the death League of Legends style.

Both of the companies are terrible and ruin every idea they touch, so I can't really pick a side. Oh wait, I just remembered which one is making Battlefield 3. You thought I meant that in a positive way didn't you? DRM, no in game server browser and Origin is enough for me not to touch it.

Battlefield is fighting Call of Duty to win sales. When you fight with an idiot they'll dumb you down to their level and then beat you out of experience.

Regardless I still don't like either company, either game or either business representative [the liar (Activision) and the dumbass (EA)]

And yes, I'm aware I contradicted myself twice.

 

[Carnagath]

I kinda feel bad for Dice, these guys haven't said a single thing as I recall, and they've got EA's apemen with their ever-so-subtle marketing strategies flinging poo and masturbating at the thought of how much MONEYYYYYYYYY they're gonna make.

 

[Saulkar]

Two dickheads do not cancel each other, you only end up getting a ******.

And I do not mean that in a homosexual way as I am three quarters such.

Essentially both Evil Assholes and Active-Idiot-Vision have their own issues and both are money seeking profit machines but I cannot see this kind of active aggressive banter not harming the rest of the industry if it becomes the norm, one way or another.

 

[Hagi]

Honestly,

I can't say I really care what either of them says. It's not going to impact the games we play, these guys aren't involved with that. Way back I used to think these guys were involved in managing the publishing and financing decisions of their companies, now it just seems they're involved in talking about random stuff that may or may not be true and may or may not be what they really mean or intent.

So for me that puts them along the lines of that loony guy who thinks he's Napoleon, he also says random stuff that may or may not be true and may or may not be what he really means or intents....

 

[vivster]

i'm all for EA but in this case he's just behaving like a little kid who hit his first home run and now talks down to everyone
i know activision is just spewing populist marketing bullshit there but at least with some class

 

[Kalith]

It seems like a PR grab on EA's behalf to get "in" with the gamers by being loud, obnoxious and against "The Man".. If you believe that stereotypical gamer profile anyway.

 

[jackanderson]

Good Christ almighty, children! Both of your dads are as good as each other! Now stop this silly nonsense or it's detention for the lot of you!

Really? Its not like every announcement here, from neither EA or Dice or Origin. Is helping garner BF3 more sales. I stood through this shitflinging contest, I got origin. I was willing to give that browsergame a try. And then. . . THEN. I figure they done the exact same thing as steam and thinks that 60 Dollars = 60 EURO.. What the fuck. If they cant even do that better then screw them.

 

[Nouw]

I'm not so sure if this helps make gamers look mature.

 

[Scrustle]

Wow, really mature EA. This is really pathetic, what the hell are you trying to prove anyway? You have no idea that Battlefield will take that much audience away from CoD, and the Guitar Hero and Tony Hawk game have nothing to do with Battlefield vs. CoD either. It's really pointless and just makes you look like an idiotic little child. But I still get the feeling that EA are behaving like this because they know that this is what the audience they are trying to steal responds to. It's just sad and disgusting. unprofessional and unecessary. I never thought I would ever side with Activision in any dispute but in this one I have to.

Oh and by the way, my opinion is purely based on the comments of the two parties in question. I have no intention of ever buying a CoD game or Battlefield, they do not interest me in the slightest. In fact I rather despise CoD because of the affect it's had on gaming.

So would you buy from the developer riding the high horse and milking the fuck out of you.Or would you buy from the developer who's not milking you all that much when you think about it and actually being a funny troll.
