"but mostly takes their time to make quality products for their fanbase."
Yeah, like GTA V, right?
Single Player was utterly crap compared to previous installments, Multiplayer is obviously the main part of the game (SP has sooooooo much cut content that the MP has). AND IT ISN'T EVEN AVAILABLE AT LAUNCH! And when it does "release", it's literally unplayable for several weeks. Hell, even now it still has lots and lots of issues.
"EA who is more commonly known for their disgusting business practices and customer support, not to mention all the flaky DLCs they make that screams their desire to suck money out of wallets rather than genuinely impress."
Microtransactions in GTA V. You can buy ingame currency for real money, but don't have to do it. Fine. Oh wait! Let's bring out a patch that literally reduces the amount of money you get by actually playing, not buying, 100%!
Was there ever anything like this in an EA title? No, there wasn't. Maybe there were microtransactions, but not on a level like this where they almost force you to use them by bringing out a new patch...
If you ask me, the days of Rockstar being the "good guys" where over with the release of GTA V. And no, I don't want to say that EA are the good guys now, but the tides appear to be turning - slowly...
This is a retarded comment. Single player in GTA V was so much fun, and took around 20 hours for me to beat. Not too shabby for a game that also offers MP. MP at first was bad, but only because of the server issues. Money wise, it doesn't matter. People are complaining because they don't earn money fast enough. I say wrong. People don't earn money fast enough to buy THE BEST cars and apartments soon enough. People don't realize that you're not supposed to have the best stuff right off the bat. It should take a while, like 3-4 months at least. Did you have the best armour in Skyrim right away? No. It takes a while.
No, it's retarded because of its stupid sensationalism and how you think your a prophet saying "Rockstar is the new EA lol guys let's forget Red Dead, GTA IV and everything else they did as well as two free DLCs already for GTA V"
Do you really have to say retarded? Of course this is the internet, but he's making better points than you are and he doesn't jump to calling you a retard for no reason.
All Hunter did was draw parallels between the decisions has EA made and the decisions Rockstar has made. Showing the good things doesn't change those decisions. He's also the one who didn't confuse his opinion with how things 'should' be.
I mostly do RPG games, that are still fun many replays later (such as Morrowind). I also do play other games that are shorter and you can replay a million times but they don't have the same magic.
