The problem is EA publishes some good games from time to time. I mean they do publish a whole lot of crap, but if you ignore their marketing they are one of the better publishers (at least sometimes).Lilani said:
What the F*** is wrong with EA

Cause all his problems are caused by women.kman123 said:
and fixed it. Sorry for the sp? error
*EDIT*
Caused by women is wrong. I should say all his problems are related to his relationships with various women but are often caused by bad guys.
I did also say it would be related ironically.
I actually thought this was a pretty cool commercial by EA's standards. And this is coming from the guy that hates rap.
Alright OP skip to 1:27, me and a mate changed the music out from BF3 trailer and put in some Metallica... so... any better ?jthwilliams said:
(ignore the gameplay part.. its from the alpha so a bit outdated unless you like some more metallica)also some guy commented on the video sometime ago: "Well, hip-hop and rap are popular amonsts the teenagers watching this. Rap appeals more to this audience. And besides, i like rock. But this band is dislike. number 1 rule of youtube, dont put music you like, put music the audience will like. Great video though."
i was like wtf... how can you dislike Metallica ?! but i dont agree with that dude one bit
Also as no one else has referenced it by now

While I understand your point and it is true that we are talking about it. We are talking about it and the company in a negative way. And I know they say there is no such thing as bad publicity, but they are simply wrong.Fasckira said:
I think it's there for two reasons.jthwilliams said:
The first is what you've already described. So no need to elaborate.
The other, I believe, is to hide how bad the clips actually look. Now people, don't rage on me. Just bare with me.
First, it seems as though EA is showcasing the console (360) build of the game in all it's ads. Why they're doing this is beyond me as the PC build looks infinitely better. Consider the Gamestop commercial that's been running. It shows three different players playing on Caspian Border with a golf announcer talking over the action. The clips look terrible. Blurry textures. Bad draw in. Limited particle effects. Etc, etc. This is because the clips in the Gamestop ad are taken from the 360 version as well.
Second, as good as the Frostbyte 2 engine looks, it does NOT translate those visuals well to standard definition. And, seeing as most viewers aren't going to see these commercials in HD a majority of the time, anything they can do to hide the bad look while also making it look "gritty" they're going to do it. In this case, it's the "static" everywhere.
If nothing else, we, as a gaming community should speak up and protest things that we don't want in our community. The marketing choices that EA makes has an effect on how our community is viewed by others. That appearance affects the kinds of people who want to or don't want to join our community and those who leave the community. I don't know about you, but I refuse to think of most of EA's marketing as part of gaming culture and I want them to to stop it, not because of what some politician might think of gaming, but for the sake of gamin itself. I don't want that kind of trash in gaming, do you?Cheshire the Cat said:
I see 3 basic problems with EA.
"EA Games! Challenge everything!" P.S. Including the patience and loyalty of our customers!
EA may secretly stand for "Eagerly Aggressive" (in response to whenever someone makes a good game, they buy the developer)
They started with sports games. Then expanded, but without expanding their thought processes or creativity. Domino effect...

wait, you ask wtf is wrong with EA and the first thing that comes to mind is its commercials?what about the fact that their business goal seems to be to take every amazing gaming company and buy them out before they become to big and then just ring them out for money? what about the fact that they are now taking games and putting them on origin instead of widely accepted digital markets like steam just so they can make a few extra cents for each game? Also the issue thats been around for ever, they dont seem to like to patch their games (even if it has a very popular online mode) after its been out for about 4 months. I could go on for a long time with things that are wrong with EA but by the time i finish the post their will be a whole new slue of problems that EA has.
I went with the "write an e-mail of complaint" route with EA but to get their e-mail address you have to sign up as a member and since Origins involves spyware I REALLY don't trust what they do with their customer's data.shiaramoon said:
