10k testers? 10k retards who can't notice such huge bugs and issues?
what's next? 100k baboons? infinite monekys smashing keyboards for an endless time in the hope they write a working code?

Boycotting Origin is successful. Prevented me from playing Mass Effect 3.

Console faggots can have their "GOTY" Titanfall.

The most dynamic FPS of all time! You can wall jump! No game has ever done this, except for Quake, Unreal Tournament, and Warsow!

Like I said in another topic I'm pretty sure testers are just there to verify that the game can be played and completed by utter morons, seeing how I keep hearing about testers telling developers that GAEM IZ TOO HARD. And that's from wannabe big-players (like Obsidian) to actual big-players.

To be fair, I find Titanfall to look quite interesting. Not enough to D1P of course, but I'd like to see it turning out to be a great game. Speaking of, where did bot support go for all these massive online multiplayer matches? A large number of games don't do that anymore from what I've gathered.

After playing BF4 multiplayer, i cant see the appeal of 6v6 maps with npc's, just sounds like another CoD with Mechs.

He's probably talking about the public beta that ran for two weeks a month before BF4 was released. Most of the bugs that were in the final release were reported during the beta, but that doesn't help when they don't fix them. A few things that worked during the beta were even broken in the final game.

Despite all the issues though, BF4 at launch was nowhere near as bad as it's made out to be. Most of the bugs were just annoying glitches, not gamebreaking. The only really serious problem was the occasional crashes, but they didn't happen anywhere near often enough to ruin the fun. Even at launch with all the problems, BF4 was still more fun to play than BF3, and thus more fun than any other military FPS I've ever played.

Sure, a bug-free game is preferable, but given the choice I would pick getting an unfinished BF4 in October over getting a fully polished game in January or whenever they would have been ready.

actually, jokes aside, i thought he was taslking about the public beta that ran two months after bf4 was released.

These days beta testers are nothing more than a part of a carefully staged marketing ploys. You think thousands of: "Whz resulltion soo high? So slowww!11!! Dis gaem suck, make IT BETTAR EA! MAKE It BETAR!" *BETA BUG REPORT SUBMITTED. THANK YOU* accomplish anything and/or are of any help to third-rate hindu mercenaries that actually do grunt code work nowadays?

EA shutting down Lord Of Ultima. Good riddance!

 

[Caim]

What was that game even about? I take it it wasn't some kind of full-on Ultima experience.

 

[Cyberarmy]

Not even close to any Ultima game. MMORTS, a Settlers lite kind of a game. Probably need to pay to build larger structures faster.

 

[Infinitron]

It was an Evony clone.

EA shutting down Lord Of Ultima. Good riddance!

Have anyone here played it? I'm curious how bad it was.

That's a different Ultima corpse. Eurogamer has a review on that too: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2013-09-05-ultima-forever-review

This is a game built for idiots.

Ah, sorry. Didn't keep track with all EA rapes

So sad to see such companies go like this. I already mourn whoever will be purchased next and fed to Larry Probst.

Blade Runner should be on the Westwood list.

A great victory for Electronic fArts:

Electronic Arts has been voted out of the running for The Consumerist's Worst Company in America poll for 2014, ending the possibility of the company winning the title three years in a row.

The company was pushed out of the running by Time Warner Cable, which won out the race bracket with 51.2 percent over EA's 48.8 percent.

This past fall, EA and its studio DICE came under fire when highly-anticipated shooter Battlefield 4 launched with technical issues that prevented players from using its online multiplayer. The game has continued to be plagued with problems and DICE has continued to roll out updates for the game across all platforms.

After winning the 2013 Worst Company in America poll — EA's Peter Moore wrote that the company could "do better" and would strive to do so.

"I'll be the first to admit that we've made plenty of mistakes," Moore wrote at the time. "These include server shut downs too early, games that didn't meet expectations, missteps on new pricing models and most recently, severely fumbling the launch of SimCity. We owe gamers better performance than this."

Still in Consumerist's poll is Microsoft, which is currently up against AT&T for voting.

Polygon has reached out to EA for comment and will share more information as we have it.

Does that award do anything? If not - why bother.
