It's finally been dethroned as the #1 selling digital download at Amazon.

It makes me think that those of us who are disappointed, to say the least, in it are a vocal minority. I don't think EA is going to get the message that they shouldn't do this again.

Yeah but given how many of the silent majority in this case are uninformed or have not developed a taste for videogames... I don't care about them so much... Since this game could have been total garbage and they would have still eaten it up.

That only proves that people have been buying it, not that they've been enjoying it.

Which is really the only thing that matters. If EA could trick you into buying a absolutely terrible game that they spent no money on... and STILL make money you know they would.

Thing is a number of companies could almost manage that by re-releasing games with revamped graphics and the major flaws fixed.

In my opinion, the most pressing issue at the moment is the lack of some kind of filter when looking for games. It's literally impossible to find a game with empty slots right now, just page upon page of full regions.

A fuckshit that went hellsouth on launch, half baked and rushed trought the front door to make a quickbuck. Still enjoyable but i would consider this game as beta. Give it 6month or so before calling it full fledge release. And sadly... they are going DLC way and about to sell some while they are still beta state and without even finishing up fixing their shit. Sorry for my foul language but im french and i cannot find better word to express my opinion on the matter. If a PR representative wants to come forward and help me express myself in a more civilized way i will gladly accept and learn from it.

An unfortunate collection of less-than-reputable coding that went the way of certain Jones of Indiana film on launch, half baked and rushed through the front door to make a pretty penny. Still enjoyable but I would consider this game somewhat undeveloped, in no small part due the wonderful people who made it. I would, personally, give it some time before aquiring a 'for sale' tag for this particular product, and even then, I would be more likely to use it as a stand for my waste disposal unit.

It would seem that, sadly, the company in question is planning to provide downloaded content for the progam before finishing their game. It seems as though the people behind this unfortunate event have not been burdened with an overabundance of school relating to intelligent programming, public relations, and general notfuckuppery. I believe the classes for that are slightly expensive and, as we all know, EA is very poor and requires every cent they can manage to scrounge from their billions of sales a month to pay for their sick grandparents medical bills.
