MegaPowerMan
that's my biggest problem with Destiny. I can't even play the multiplayed anymore because I didn't want to buy the newest DLC
AYAtheMajestic
Blizzard..
truthsmiles
My 13 y.o son wrote his first app store review on Sun because his fav game required internet for single-player... to serve ads, apparently.
aerodynamit3
Complex is better than temple.
1acs
Bring back local 4 player gaming you dumb fucking video game companies!!!!
mizar84
All ready for Anthem????? XD
joeys2323
You can play actual offline for 14 EA money hungry tokens,but they only come in packs of 10 and 25
davidattenbruva
EA, it's in the several poorly written dlc packages that will cost more than the game.
JunkMonk
This shit is what kept me from ever buying Diablo 3.
SomeDetroitGuy
I don't understand why I need to be online to play Fifa.
adrizen
Used to the online multiplayer would allow me to play with my friends after we all moved away. Only enjoy single-player rpgs now
TECHNICALLYC0RRECT
Cannot confirm.
TECHNICALLYC0RRECT
I guess I deserve that for not playing shitty games.
Jkund17
I'll miss you SimCity!
MrAskani
Bring back the days of privately hosted 10 player multiplayer games... This 3 and 4 player locked games is rubbish.
ManMashine
Scratchtherobotchicken
As superbunnyhop says "online only? avoid wholly"
Ulthirm
If its not on a console i can help you. Fiddler is an amazing program as long as all the information the game requires is predictable.
Ulthirm
So like minecraft, is exceedingly easy to do however it will only work on local networks.
Talligan
I started to get annoyed around the time I was playing a versus AI match on SC2 and was lagging because my internet was slow that evening.
Talligan
on versus ai! Its just me and the PC.
whythehellwasthisdownvoted
Fuck yeah- 007!
ArdvarkRoticeryChicken
seriously, friend nagged me to buy Diablo 3 when it launched so I did. Servers were fucked the first week so I couldn't play single player.1
ArdvarkRoticeryChicken
I saw that the pirates were all posting about having beaten it after 3 or 4 days. It's like getting punished for paying for the game.
StatisticalPizza
Souls series is one of the few games that implement online capabilities in single player, and even they dont require you to always be online
MBarden
To play 007, I used to ask my brothers if they were "down for some Bondage" before we knew what that meant...
wehadtodrinkourwayout
When I was a kid I pronounced Rush Hour (as in the movie) Rush Whore. Dear god.. I still cringe about it, over 20 years later.
TacticalL0tion
These days you're a very close family I take it....
Jayfourke
I'd love to, but I'm a little tied up...
Fluffyduck
This may be one of the best comments I've ever read
usersubbordercontrol
But everyone else did. And didn't want to tell you
batlrar
That's a total older brother move. "Oh, Mom's great at it; ask her to play, but don't use terms like 'N64' or 'video game'."
waitwasthatreal
My brother and I got it for Easter... it was our first T rates game
cousteau
Gaming? Try even programming, or using quite a few pieces of software.
InternationalPhoneticAlphabet
you're doing programming wrong, mate. only reason i need internet access for that is that googling stuff is easier than using manuals.
cousteau
Dunno if it was Matlab or what, but it needed internet access to work due to licenses.
InternationalPhoneticAlphabet
> a game.
InternationalPhoneticAlphabet
shoulda used R or just plain python. this is exactly why i don't want to pay for software even though i could afford it, unless it's >
cousteau
University just gives me the license. Also at home I just use Octave. (Although Matlab has some quite good DSP toolboxes)
cousteau
Also, plain Python for matrix crunching has to be slow as balls. (Numpy maybe not; dunno)
InternationalPhoneticAlphabet
depends on what you do exactly. personally, i'd rather wait twice as long for my script to finish than learn a proprietary GUI.
TeamToasterNeverForget
lol what kind of retarded game is online in singleplayer?
t00tie
Every single fucking one of them. Civ V claims it has offline mode but that never ever works.
SomeDetroitGuy
Fifa is.
McGreed
Well, you cannot play Diablo 3 without internet.
PhiIIipJFry
Yeah I remember when I got home after work my gf had bought my D3 and I found out I couldn't play it because it needed the internet.
Tastesicle
Anything with shitty DRM.
Talligan
Scurix
Destiny.
Dolphinsaurus
Destiny isnt a aingle player game
dreikommavierzehn
Most prominently: EA and Ubisoft productions. Had several games like that from them.
dreikommavierzehn
fyi: that already started in 2010, which is the reason why I had a copy of Settlers7 but was unable to play it.
Tastesicle
Yup, and why I will never buy EA or Ubi again, even if it pays me instead.
dreikommavierzehn
The most debated title so far has been SimCity5. As EA claimed on behalf of Maxis that the game cannot be run offline as PCs aren't >
dreikommavierzehn
powerful enough to compute the game. It absolutely needs to compute parts of the game in a cloud. That's no sarcasm here.
TinnyOctopus
Until, of course, there was: https://www.theregister.co.uk/2014/01/13/simcity_offline_turnaround/
Tastesicle
Yup.
dreikommavierzehn
indeed
ThatGuyWhoThinksEveryoneIsAPineapple
90% of modern triple A games.

American Automotive Assistance?

Asian Asshole Assistance?

Anti Aircraft Artillery?
fistermatic5000
AHHH AHHH AHHH?
ManMashine
Haven't bought a AAA title in years since they started with this always-on shit and Microtransactions and Season Passes and Origin, etc.
UnassumingAscotCap
I just started playing og Castlevania yesterday. I think its been like two years since I played a new game
GodLikeButHumble
What's that? Assassin's Creed II is gonna improve on the original? Sweet. What? Always on? Even singleplayer? Never looked back.
superanth
Yeah that pretty much why I skipped Destiny. WTF Bungie???
onlyhalfthetime
Can someone ELI5 season passes?
SombreroWieldingLawmaker
Usually they just give you all DLC
UrKungFuNoGood
I put my foot down with ME3 and as it turns out life is just fine without caving in to invasive corporate policies. *checks Steam wishlist
VoidIncarnate
I hope you put Hellblade on there because that game is amazing.
UrKungFuNoGood
Ah that's the one with the amazing looking trailer! I'd forgotten about it. Just added it. :cheers:
VoidIncarnate
Wear headphones!
AhmadSouhad350
Same , I always stick to offline games such as the witcher 3
SirLintalot
and now we're just waiting for Cyberpunk..... just waiting... anny minute now new info will come.... any minute...
SomeDetroitGuy
Witcher is a AAA title.
ManMashine
but not from a AAA publisher and developer. That's a huge difference. The Wither games are more or less ambitious independent games.
ManMashine
Yeah! CD project is amazing. DRM free (on GOG), excellent performance, great support, the game is actually done developed at release… :D
cuzynot
CD Projekt*
ManMashine
thank you
JaegerBombster
Which by God what a phenomenal game
Avishul
Is it worth playing through?
PudgyPinkiePie
No.
JaegerBombster
It's honestly one of the best games I've ever played. Lots and lots of game play and the storyline is simply amazing
FartLongerNotHarder
As someone with a similar question a year ago, yes...yes it is. You'll get into it, and it will be awesome.

MarcUK
Add Gamestorm to that list. EA bought them in 1999 and then shut them down in 2001. I miss Air Warrior. :(
spookytwigg
That bullfrog logo. So many of my favourite childhood games.
RepublicofTexa
2k football games
Cipher915
I've played at least 2 games from every one of those developers. This only furthers my hatred of EA.
RedWingsofSteel
"Invented the RTS as we know it?" I think that's a bit of a stretch
justherefortheshitposting
I didn't make the image, just reposted it. Goodness knows the bullets would be less of a clusterfuck if I had.
GrantLeavitt
I like to this that most racing games were also victims of Ea cuz they had Porsche exclusivity. Thank god after 15 years, it's finally ended
CheshirePhoenix
Mythic didn't have the longest running MUD. Not even close - that goes to Avalon: the Legend Lives and it's still running today
BecauseJimmy
C&C omg
Arakmyr
Don't forget Blackbox, developer of the skate games
ISayFuckAllTheTime
Jesus fucking christ. I had no idea.
DamianWinters
Dragon age origins should be under Bioware, they basicly finished it before EA grabbed them. luckily for us.
ConstructiveCriticismOnTheInternet
I think you forgot Lionhead but i may be wrong
joeys2323
Fuck, remember those burnout games......
spookytwigg
Burnout revenge was fucking amazing.
EndersdoyouthinkthisisafuckingGame
Kept my PS2 just for that game, still play from time to time when I feel like a nostalgia trip. One of the best game soundtracks ever, IMO.
ManMashine
They were great in the 80s and 90s but after the 2000s… they have become Electronic Assholes.
squirreltactics
You forgot Lucas Arts
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
Lucasarts and Sierra. The king and queen of game companies.
toasteheh
Dice as well. They pretty much shat down the Battlefield series throat.
justherefortheshitposting
Dice is on there, man. :P
ratpatoot1e
You missed one: the entire gaming industry.
iamalreadyaghost
This is very true. Games as we knew them will never return
tzxAzrael
but you ever think that if EA could take over that many studios in '04, that maybe all was not well in the world of gaming to begin with?
tzxAzrael
i mean, yea, EA is terrible, not pretending otherwise... but the way things were was clearly not working either.
justherefortheshitposting
I'm not sure how having many small, independent developers producing interesting high-quality games is a bad thing.
tzxAzrael
*shrugs * idk either, but clearly something wasn't working if they didn't have the money to make it on their own.
corvettee01
Gotta add Mass Effect Andromeda up to the Bioware part.
ISayFuckAllTheTime
God, that game was such a fucking disappointment. After playing the first three over and over, I was so looking forward to andromeda...
justherefortheshitposting
The games listed are what the companies produced /before/ they were eaten and ruined by EA.
justherefortheshitposting
That aside, I think that all of the Mass Effect and Dragon Age games are low-effort crap, mindless dialogue tree simulators with bad plots.
Tassyr
Andromeda was done after Bioware was gutted.
Randomman96
for the ME trilogy, Montreal, who was mainly a support studio before making Andromeda, and Austin, who is doing SW:The Old Republic.
Randomman96
Also people forget that Bioware had at least 3 studios during Andromeda's development. Edmonton, who is the main team, who was responsible-
Stagracker
How did EA destroy Spore?
ZeRootOfAllEvil
It was originally scientifically accurate, but they thought that was boring.
Stagracker
Wait what why would they do that? and what exactly do you mean by scientifically accurate ? How would that work in the game ?
ZeRootOfAllEvil
http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Removed_features
ZeRootOfAllEvil
They even hired biologists and xenobios. Then they said "Too difficult" make some cocks. Check original adverts.
ZeRootOfAllEvil
Spore originally had a DNA splicing element to make it an "accurate" simulation of life 1/2
Stagracker
Oh my god this sounds amazing wtaf EA. I'm going to research this now thank you for enlightening me!
