Rory Young of Game Rant writes: "The truest form of quality measurement for any Civilization game is astonishingly simple: how many hours of the day disappear during each game you play? It’s a scale of addiction, and Civilization V is extremely addictive. Civilization players can be recognized by the bags under their eyes, but that’s only if they’ve managed to leave the refuge of their computer in the first place.
Civilization V however, includes multiple dramatic changes that have been made to the Civilization formula. Don’t let that fool you though; this game is absolutely Civilization. Build a budding empire with flourishing cities, a dominant military and thriving culture turn by turn. Each small decision can have a widespread effect on your economy or in diplomacy. Civilization V is elaborately complex, but also wonderfully intuitive. Will Civilization V leave you remorseful for the time you’ve spent, though? "
There are no thoughtful ads in Video Games, EA. Leave them be.
I think the only type of games that can gets away with it would be sport games, having those sponsors ads on the side like on real life.
But don't put freaking Doritos ads in Star Wars or something, it breaks the immersion. If it is a pop-up ads, then big no.
One of my favorite series is the THPS franchise, and it was packed with ads, but it didn't bother me. Posters for skateboard companies, JEEP, and Nokia phones. It did sort of fit in with the game world, but that was the past, these days ad would be intentionally intrusive or unskippable loading screen type of imagery. Ugh, I know EA would do it in a horrible fashion. Screw them.
EA senior staff has been investigated for sexual misconduct involving female coworkers, and these said people have been named publicly.
Aye just call Phil, i mean he somehow made Bobby Kotick's scandal disappear and gave him a few million dollar high five on the way out.
EA about to go down like Activision and then Phil saves the day saying.this is good for the industry and consolidation will help create competition. /s.
What's up with all these horny creeps. You gon be horny, fine. Just not at work take care of that shit before you go in. Rub one out if you have to. Don't be a creep at all. ESPECIALLY at work. But don't be one AT ALL.
"it seems that according to EA, given the events transpired outside of work between two adults, and the fact that once investigation has started that the alleged perpetrators didn’t do it again, the investigation is considered closed. [...] The victim still has to work with the people that harassed her."
Yep, EA is disgusting.
EA has announced it will engage in a shareholder-pleasing share buyback program just a couple of months after mass layoffs at the studio.
