Ok, I dunno about you guys but i've had it with EA's shitty quality control, lack of desire or care for what we want in a game, and just a general lack of sense of any kind quality in the games they have been making these past few years. Like many of you, I was dying to see BFV in action. Ever since I saw the screenshots, I could not wait to get my hands on the next gen of BFV. Everything about it screamed top not action, better controls, bad ass weapons...ect..ect..Bring it on!!!!
Pleasantly suprised to hear it was coming out this month, I reserved my copy like many of you did. And like many of you, I finally managed to pick up a copy at my local Gamestop *Had one copy of UT2k4 Special Edition but I didn't get it*
I have to say NO GAME has dissapointed me the entire year of 2003 and beginning of 2004 like this game has.
1. Absolutely horrid menu system. At first I thought I was looking at a fucking mexican restuarant menu. It doesn't even have the title of the game on it!!!
Trying to work through the settings and the different menu selections is an absolute nightmare! It took me a good 10 minutes to figure why the fuck it wasn't storing my control settings only to find the SAVE button is nicely blended in with all the other menu options that are no joke, .5 centimeters apart!!!
2. Piss pour sound. I expected some very nice booming from my new Klipsch system when I fired the game up. Instead I got weak little "woof, heeezing" When I fired anything loud. Even firing a tank sounded like I was wearing ear plugs. Changing the sound types doesn't do any good, and reducing the sound quality makes it sound even worse!!
3. WTF is up with the ATI video card problem and this game general piss as peformance all together?
4. Even the packaging sucks. My second CD was practically attached to the case itself. I had to push down with all my weight and the CD still did not come out of the case and I was bending it at a 45 degree angle!!!! I had to take my leatherman and BREAK OFF the cd hold tabs to get the CD out of the fucking case!
Boy, and did I love the fact how your readme.txt states that us 9800 owners are basically SOL.
Wow EA, are you that fucking stuck up to to dismiss that maybe 50% of us or more DON"T USE NVIDIA cards for one reason or another. I get the distinct impression you just gave us the bird for this game.
Like I said, the game runs absolutely rancid! I ran at a terrible 33 FPS with 8X AF enabled, no AA. The game herked and jerked and OMG it was a beautiful slide show when anymore then 10 bots were in the area.
Hell, ok, lets take off shadows and AF. Hmmmm, so what we got here is a game that look WORSE then BF1942! I am not shitting you, the textures are a complete joke without the highest settings. And the framerate is still nothing to write home about, I puffed along at around 40fps but OMG, the second I got into dense jungle or into a serious firefight, al la la la, slide show once again!!!
Now, for dumping the money into the machine I have, I should be able to run 1280x960 just fine and beautiful. Well Far Cry is far beyond graphics wise and it runs MUUUUUCH better then this!!
Hmm ok, so seeings how I have an ATI card, I have to limit myself to a so gay 2000 standard of 1078x768 to get a decent framerate. Boy, were looking good now!!!
You know what EA, thats it. Iv'e had it. Iv'e had it with spending my hard earned money on your worthless, unfinished, poorly polished and just plain shitty games!!
You burned me on Need for Speed Underground with no LAN mode, no Replays, No customizable music and not even the ability to download new parts or anything!!!
Before that, you really pulled a good one with NFS Hot Pursuit 2. I think I would rather play Crash Bandicoot racing then that pitiful example of a sequel that didn't hold so much as a candle to the original
Then you released that piss ass of an excuse what was Command and Conquer Generals. Boy, the net code on that beauty was sure wonderful! Even our full T1 line wasn't enough to keep 4 players running at smooth pace! Not to mention the gameplay was nothing like the C&C that we knew for many years. Thanks again EA for destroy a classic genre!!!
Earth and Beyond: One word EA....Booooooooooooooooooooringg!!
Secret Weapons of WWII. Wow, this expansion pack was the most nicely covered up terd i've ever purchased. Hell I distinctly remembering myself playing it for maybe an hour after it came out, and I haven't touched it since. Felt more like I was playing "Humerous Jokes and Ideas of WWII" $30 down the tube for that rehash.
Oh yeah, and what about that wonderful news that you terminated Origin that made us the wonderful Wing Commander! Geee, I was kinda looking forward to a sequel after Phrophecy but I guess that wont happen now!!!
Oh, and lets not forget how much you have patched BF1942 this past year. Im finding 50% of the servers I am unable to connect to for "SOME" reason, no matter what changes I make to my DSL or my game settings. The netcode itself is still very much behind anything decent that so many other games run well *Cough UT2k4* Lets not forget how many people can attest to how just plain poorly it runs on numerous machines around the world, even if the recommended specs are reached.
Enough is enough EA! I refuse to put another dime in your ever growing pocket book. Your assimalation of good developers of past games and turning out wreckless POS games, thinking that were so retarded that we would buy then and not notice any difference makes me wanna puke. You gave us this nice little announcment that only NVIDIA hardware would run your games properly and us ATI owners, a HUGE portion of the market just morons.
First thing tomorroo, I'm go to my Gamestop manager who I know well and have worked for years. I will tell him what a gawdawful POS this game is and that every customer should avoid it at all costs and demand an exchange for UT2k4 that I KNOW will run will in amost every aspect.
Maybe enough people donig this will start putting a hurt in your pocket book and ego EA and make you change your ways, but I seriously doubt it.
