MODERATORS
I just realized I haven't played an EA game in over a decade. SW Battlefront II was the last one, and it felt like a downgrade from the 2005 version.
I mean, are there any of their titles that have made an impact in the last decade? I can't think of any other than sports and racing games.
It Takes Two and Split Fiction were published by EA.
I also played Titanfall 2 which was a great little campaign.
That's about it for me.
Once upon a time when Infinity Ward's founders left Activision because of "Activision", and formed Respawn with EA, I felt EA were still the good guys in the industry. The Titanfall games were amazing.
After APEX Legends came out, I feel EA used up most of their Good Karma that they had built in the past.
The Star Wars Jedi games are genuinely good self-contained no bs single player games.
I can't comment on anything else.
I was gonna throw Star Wars Outlaws in there, but surprisingly that one was ubisoft.
Self-contained? Don’t they require a verified online account and an internet connection?
I'm referring to the way the game lets you earn everything. There is no upsell after you buy the game. If you want something from the game, you get it by playing.
I don't believe so, but don't quote me on that, haven't played either in a very long time.
(EA has a habit of adding such requirements many years after the game was made, btw).
Their new owners pretty much only care about the sports games
I got Madden last year so I could get my kid into football. Figured if there was a video game, he'd be interested in learning more about the game, and it worked. Having said that, I'm not buying any new ones for updated rosters, so they won't be seeing another dime from me.
Battlefield 6 is a new one that comes to mind - heard good things, might try it in the "perpetual demo" mode
I was looking at that recently as well, but saw the reviews are at mixed now…
All the more reason to go sailing
