Activision, only for Blizzard though.
If you had to decide between playing either EA or Activision published games exclusively for all eternity, which would you go for?
Ask this five years ago and the results would be the opposite.
Ask this five years from now and there's a good chance they'll be flipped around again.
EA. EA Partners is great. Love DICE and the Battlefield franchise is my favorite. Bioware make my favorite singleplayer RPGs. If I play a sports game, it's an EA sports game. Fond memories of Fifa Soccer. And so forth.
Pricey, because Blizzard is a close second to DICE, but hell, shooters just have the best moment to moment gameplay and Battlefield has biggest moments of all.
EA, if only because I can continue to play NCAA Football and Madden NFL.
EA without a doubt.
There's a little more variety in their games than says Blizzard have.
Diablo 3 is gonna be a better looking Diablo, Starcraft 2 feels like Starcraft, only better looking-ish.
And WoW is gonna be wow..
So yeah, EA
I HATE EA because of what they did to me with Battlefield 2142 (my fault for buying a PC game though), but I don't play computer games so the obvious answer is EA.
EA. I was about to buy the Call of Duty pack on Steam and than I remmbered I hate Activision so I didnt.
So basically I would stick with EA (plus EA owns Bioware).
While I do enjoy most of what Blizzard creates, they don't do it often enough to justify playing Activision games exclusively.
@Kahoona:
I believe EA only publishes the physical copies of whatever Valve creates, so I wouldn't really count them as a creative studio they own/partner with. Just me though
As much as I loved Blizzard, I'm skeptical about StarCraft II, and I'm sold on Mass Effect 3 and Dragon Age 2. I have to go with EA.
That's a tough one. Activision does have some games that run very good stories (i.e Prototype and a couple of Call of Duties). Though I'm not going to bash on the company because of Bobby Kotick. I'll just bash on him. Although so far EA has been dishing out some good Battlefield games lately and they're still supporting their online PC games with updates. Other companies, once their games have been out there for almost a year, then there's no more support. The EA Partners program I'm a lil iffy on. They say it will help newer developers, but I get the feeling something will go wrong. Maybe I'm wrong. We'll see in the future.
