I've had mine since launch, and never had any problems. that includes my 2 year old son throwing it, knocking it off the shelf, etc

Heat is not solid, Unbound is. Also, the single player is too short, few actual races, the online is a mess and disorganized. Also, they locked cars behind EA Access, like Razor's car, that you can ride in only one mission and stop.

Also Fifa that manages to be worse than the year before, and the mass effect Trilogy, that recently jas been released free with ps plus, is quite the bug mess, and I say this as I'm currently playing it on ps5.

One nice game like Fallen Order can't make me forget that to play the full The Sims 4 experience I have to pay 500 euros on instant gaming, not even on steam or origin

And, don't forget, they killed an incredible number of ambitious studios, like Pandemic, Irrational Games, Bioware,...

Because they're scum who literally employ psychological warfare on their players to ensure the sale of FIFA points.

Sounds dramatic but it's true

My ps2 was my first DVD player. I had this remote. First 2 dvds were A Knight's Tale and Tomb Raider. Good times.

I've had mine since launch and haven't had any issues with it. Have heard about people's issues with them but not sure how widespread it is. Could be that you're more likely to hear someone complain if there's an issue vs people making posts stating that their controller works as expected.

If you want to wait for the 'slim' with a removable disk drive, go ahead. If you want to wait for the pro, you'll be waiting until the ps6 comes out

My regular Xbox Series controller has been working normal since launch, but my Elite 2 has a messed up bumper

With every game they release they make the next game worse. We have all been praying for NFS underground 3 and it has never happened. Also NFS has been going up and down for years. NFS unbound I am not even joking seeing all the animation like tire smoke etc just reminded me of this game

1 isn't necessary, but I agree with going back to the Ezio trilogy. Particularly if they want story.

I’m not aware of anything like that, but like you mentioned, not having a credit card or anything on the system files would prevent purchases. I do know that on PlayStation all purchases require you to enter a password for the profile being used.

And I know some kind of parental controls exist but I’m not sure what all they do. I will do some research real quick about that.

Just got into Warframe, and I'm having a blast. There's definitely a lot of grinding, but I've been able to sell many of the items I've gathered to other players for premium currency to use on stuff. If you have self-control with it, absolutely everything can be gained without spending money. I do like the grind, though. Always excited to gather mats to craft that next weapon.

Two PS2 multitaps? Look at mister popular over here!

It took gamers 1 good remake to forget everything. The cycle repeats.

He just wants to see what really happens in "The Lusty Argonian Maid."

That Lizard Puss gets 'em every time. 🤣

Many many reasons, but no NHL on PC since '09 tops my list.

When FIFA think you're a corrupt, shitty organisation, you must be some of the worst

Guitar hero with that

Despite being an MMO, you can just treat it as a standard RPG and avoid anything multiplayer.

Games and hardware. Same same.

EA has much improved in terms of quality, no denying that one. In fact, Fallen Order was the first EA game i bought in a decade. However, one thing that's always bugged me about EA is their entire "Fuck the customer" mentality. And this isn't even related to just their shitty annual reskins, either.

Remember when they released Battlefront 2 and the microtransactions were so bad, it caused several countries to consider legally declaring this shit gambling, and it was only at the threat of that that EA decided to reduce the amount of microtransactions? Not only that, they promised their shareholders that this wouldn't affect their income negatively, meaning one of two things is true.

Either, they don't actually need these microtransactions, and just put them in out of corporate greed, or they decided to cut their own income or spending in order to keep shareholders happy. Which of these sounds more like EA to you?

And it's not just Battlefront, either. EA is notorious for this kind of overcapitalization of games that are essentially just reskins of stuff they already released. And it's also not just microtransactions. EA is just as notorious for not giving a damn about legitimate customer concerns in general.

That said, i don't buy many AAA titles in general, so i'm not sure how bad it is with their newer releases, or for that matter, how much worse they are than everyone else on the AAA market right now.

Also, i should mention, there's only very few big budget developers out there who are actually making good games right now. Most AAA developers have been making the same uninspired reskins for the last 5-10 years by now, and the occasional remake doesn't change that. In fact, the fact that you listed 2 remasters in your list of good games EA made this past year kind of just proves my point. (also, NFS Heat, or in general, all the new NFS games, aren't exactly the type of product i'd put on that list to begin with). They never make anything new. All they care for nowadays is how they can get you to pay even more for their 60 dollar game. Playing your average AAA title, you can tell it was made without any love and only profit in mind.

At the same time, you get small developers, sometimes as small as a single guy in his bedroom, producing one award winning game after the other. Sure, the average indie game lacks the graphics that the average AAA game has, but when was the last time you played a AAA game that actually felt like something new, or even just something old, but reimagined and reforged, rather than just being the same shit you bought last year, but with slightly improved graphics?
