EA... franchise killers, do you think they can do worse than what they did with SC2013 ???

 

Well they did, they butchered Dungeon Keeper too, and I think they went even lower with this :

While playing Dungeon Keeper, users will be asked whether they would give the game 1-4 stars or 5 stars. If the user selects 5 stars, they are taken to the play store to review the game. If they respond with 1-4 stars, they are instead asked to email the developer and tell them what the game would need to earn a 5 star review. While asking for feedback is hardly a bad thing, only directing extremely positive reviews to the play store is certainly score manipulation.

It got a 0.2/10 (2/100) on Metacritic. What was Sonic 06's score, again? 4?

PATHETIC!

"If you try to please everybody, you often times end up pleasing nobody, especially yourself. When somebody offers to do a favor for free, like making a mod for SimCity 4, you shouldn't be overly critical of something generously given to you. In other words, you shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth." - Twilight Sparkle after playing SimCity

"Being a mayor or a content creator for SimCity 4 is a heavy responsibility, Patrick. Each city and each custom content is like a child, and must be treated as such." - SpongeBob Squarepants after playing SimCity

SC2013 ruined, Battlefield 4 ruined and now Dungeon Keeper ruined. What are they going to ruin next? Our freedom?

ea sports games are ruined ever since, only serving one purpose: cash-cow.

and nfs got ruined the minute carbon was born.

 

the next to ruin is the sims unless 4 comes up with some real new ideas and not just tidbits of improvements over the predecessor.
