From what I gather it's kind of like the total war series.

And also not as good as.

Yeah, not sure where you're getting "EA made a WFB RTS." The only Fantasy RTS was Mark of Chaos, developed by Black Hole Entertainment and published by Namco Bandai. There are two MMOs out there, both published by EA, but neither is an RTS.

He's likely referring to The Old Republic.

I wouldn't mind seeing Ubisoft pick up the license for any of THQ's games. They make a lot of stuff I like, and their uPlay thing is fairly unobtrusive these days.

No I mean Farming Simulator http://www.farming-simulator.com/

Obviouly this is the PC chart and only physical copies were counted but still.

Ubisoft is far too liberal with its draconian DRM (even though their games are seemingly trivially easy to pirate). I would honestly prefer EA.

Nah, that's only for RPGs.

Although I'm amused at the "obviously forced" thing. Most heterosexual relationship sideplots in RPGs are "obviously forced", to me-- they don't fit in to the greater game at all.

I'm gonna up that to "Most romantic relationships in mass media are obviously forced." Cause you know. No one would go see a movie, or play a game, or read a book unless someone was trying to bone some else apparently

It's actually kind of annoying at times.

I can certainly agree with that.


But at least if the relationship is optional, it makes it better than if it was mandatory like some games/all movies.

It's probably a reference to Wrath of Heroes, EA's attempt to do a warhammer style League of Legends using the code from Warhammer Online.

And I can't believe someone mentioned Dark Omen without mentioning the venerable Shadows Of The Horned Rat.

So? No reason you can't play your original version.

I play FIFA '09 because it's a good game. The fact that EA release identical versions every year is no odds to me

Mark of Chaos didn't have anything to do with EA Games IIRC, though it was alright for its time. A sequal would have had potential but eh.

EA turned the last C&C game into... well... I don't think anyone knows what the hell that game was meant to be, but the point is there appear to be a lot of rampant morons in the video game industry who don't understand that people buy sequels because they kinda want a better version of what came before, not an utterly different game with the same name.

Enough people bought DoW2 for it to be a financial success and it is arguably a completely different game to DoW1.

Sequels don't have to be more of the same.
