| | They *could* create their own server but because this is mostly a single-player game they would most likely have a tool for you to generate your own server and then play locally. Not at all difficult and very effective. I did this for WoW and, besides playing an MMO on my own (for shits and giggles as a GM), it did the trick flawlessly. Flag this | Edit this post |

| It does require a constant online connection. When the servers go down, no one can play. Got bad internet for the evening? Sorry, you can't play!
And it's not just an always-on connection, but everything you do you also do online. So you will get lag if you live in Australia and you'll have to live with it because Blizzard doesn't have any AU servers. Flag this | Edit this post |

| | Yes, but WoW didn't cost over $200 million to make. EA isn't seeing the return on investment they thought they were going to see. The most expensive game of all time is looking like a major flop. As the rabid anti-BioWare fans put it: the TORtanic has sunk. Flag this | Edit this post |

| I love Company of Heroes but having played Theatre of War and Men of War, both Company of Heroes clones set in the Eastern Front, I'm not all that excited.
They should of taken the formula and applied it to a different era. I've always been aching for a proper modern era RTS like Joint Strike Force but better executed. Flag this | Edit this post |

| Wow, that looks bad. It's literally the same damn enemies. Those fucking aliens with the stupid AI. And back to fucking New York. And the bow and arrow makes no f*cking sense. AND BLOOM. TONS OF BRIGHT F*CKING LIGHT BECAUSE ACTUALLY SEEING THE GAME IS OVERRATED NOWADAYS.
God, why did they have to f*ck up one of my favorite games? Flag this | Edit this post |

| Don't get your panties in a bunch. Think logically, what would have the most effect: a bank that won the award thrice before (in a row) or an entertainment company?
The bank doesn't rely on consumers to survive. They have the government and other companies to subsist on. EA, on the other hand, lives and dies with its consumers. If all of a sudden they got voted the worst company in America that would have a much more tremendous effect than on the bank.
The evidence of this was the mere fact that EA actually responded to the award, the only winner to do so in the award's history. Lastly, this is a frivolous online poll that means absolutely nothing.
This discussion was fleshed out on the forums.

| It's just not a Crysis game. Period. The powers are nerfed, the enemies are stupid, the maps are linear and uninteresting, the story makes no sense...
There is just nothing redeeming about this game. Yeah, the graphics are great but you're in a drab city. There's not much to look at.
I'm a huge Crysis fan but this was awful. Flag this | Edit this post |

| I hate developers that just don't give you any options. You end up hating the game for one or two relatively minor reasons that could have been easily addressed with a simple toggle.
I love the idea of multiplayer SimCity. I remember one of the first city-building games I ever played was Lego Loco and multiplayer was a core component. But you could play without it and create your own neighbors. And lord knows most Sims players are on a laptop and tend to be mobile. Flag this | Edit this post |
