it seems like its good if you work for one of the core divisions and hell if you work for one of its many branches/acquired devs, though thats just based on interviews/post-mortems and not any firsthand experience or knowing anyone who's worked there

Best advice I was ever given?

"Ticker, you'll be a lot happier once you stop caring about the opinions of a culture that is beneath you."

I learned my worth, learned the places and people that matter.

Opened my eyes.

I don't do kickstarter anymore after being burned a bunch by it but I'd play the game

The weirdest thing to me is that EA has not done any remasters or ports from last gen. No dragon age, Mass effect, dead space, saboteur, etc coming from 7th gen to 8th gen. You would think that EA of all companies would be all in for cheap, profitable ports or remasters.

(Dragon age 3 had a simultaneous launch across gens, I guess that's the only exception I can think of).

It helps that Moira and Brig are arguably two of the strongest/most useful characters in the meta right now, huh? Do you play comp at all?

I play comp. I've been playing comp exclusively since it started. QP is a poo poo show. I like arcade death matches for my weekly boxes.

I guess most of the kickstarters that burned me were from unproven people but still preordering two or three years before the game releases isn't something I want to do anymore

One of the rumours was that theyd have a remaster of Bad Company 2 for the Battlefield V launch

That is completely fair. Hopefully whenever this vamp game drops you'll pick it up and enjoy it.

Nice, same. Highest I got was diamond in the early seasons, typically don't get past gold or platinum now but that's fine because I get most of my fun by playing off-meta characters well while my team shrieks at me on voice.

I dialled down the difficulty on Resistance and got to the point where you get regenerating health and now I'm starting to have some fun. I really like the WW2 meets aliens vibe and it's great that the first level is set in York cause it reminds me of home. More video games need to be in old British towns. It does have a serious case of the Next-Gen is Brown problems that plagued late 00s games though, it's like someone's smeared mud all over my TV.

4 and 7 are the best, imo. 4 has some tracks that have stuck with me since I played the game as a teen, and 7's new soundtrack with the leitmotifs shared across each kingdoms campaigns really just -worked-, especially each campaigns final stage. Those and the ending kind of felt like a more downer ending compared to the earlier games but drat if it didn't feel good.

I'd say EA is the worst publisher right now, it has competition mind you, but the EA of the last few years is just utterly bereft of any creative passion, just soulless buzzwords and trends. Even freaking Activision puts in an iota more of an effort.

Ironically, EA is one of the better games companies to work for

unless you work for one of their fully owned hellhole sweatshop developers, ie bioware

I'm guessing state of decay 2 got patched or something, because it doesn't seem as bad as everyone was making it out to be. its pretty much the same thing as the first game though

knight arms is a good video game even though they didn't put in bullet patterns or a framelimiter

despite its flaws it's really cool how ambitious it is, there's a ton of variety between each level and the game does look genuinely impressive at times

that boss owns

most of knight arms is just like, giant tanks and space ships and stuff but then for level 3 and 4 you fight a giant weird brown prawn thing and giant robot woman. and then. it just immediately goes back to fighting space ships. it's amazing

kotori yoshimura is ftw, their experimentation with way early game 3d is still really impressive to look back on, and while knight arms and probably wibarm haven't aged too well i'm really glad that star cruiser 2 got a fan translation that can hopefully bring it more attention in the west
