That's one (among MANY) reason I'm a loyal Nintendo customer; they have by far the best first party titles, and I just don't trust third party developers anymore. They spend too much time sucking.BrokenGeode wrote:Im not old enough to remember the 2600. But EA was huge back then, they pretty much invented 3rd party development alongside activision (another company currently in the muck). Shame what happened to them.
What's this big fuss with EA?

Re: What's this big fuss with EA?
The terrible quality of single player campaigns in most first person shooters is probably my biggest gripe. What happened to Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, and Duke Nukem 3D? The single player stories didn't always make sense, but damn, they were fun to play. I can't finish Modern Warfare's or World at War's campaign because they suck too hard.pankakes123 wrote:TERRIBLE customer service, day one DLC, online servers always down... I could go on forever.
