So we still have to sit though those stupid logos while the game loads?

WTF is with EA nickle and diming people to death?

Then maybe submitter will use his earnings to buy friends.

I find this lame on so many levels, the first of which regarding my own personal financial stability.

Give me a break. One person pays for it, posts it online, and it's fly free little bird!

Or wait for the Action Replay for 360 to come out and cheat for free (other than the cost of the AR). I wonder if EA will sue...

Waiiiiiit....is that Scott's Code? Scott's Code anyone?

Blues_X: I remember in video gaming days of yore when seeing "Electronic Arts" on the packaging was a good thing.

Now, not so much.

*nods solemnly*

Callous: UP, UP, DOWN, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT, LEFT, RIGHT, B, A, B, A, Select, Start

Indeed. Submitter doesn't know his/her Contra as well as he/she thinks.

EA games lost my "just came out on the shelf" dollar when they packaged content for the Sims 2 that should have been downloadable as an expansion pack that didn't change the gameplay at all. I'll wait until it hits bargain bin now.

I'd just like to remind everyone that Neverwinter Nights 2 is out.

It is everything I ever thought it would be and more.

I don't know if there are cheats for it. I'll look for cheats once I play through it normally.

Pelagius

You can't post it online. It's locked content you have to pay to download a key to "unlock". Kind of like the Xbox Live Arcade games, where you download the whole game with the trail, and when you pay to "unlock" the full game, it just runs a 2 second patch that sets the game to "OK, whole game open".

man, i sure hope i can still get my cheats for Madden Roster Update 20XX Ultimate $65 Edition!

/fark EA

Road Rash baby.. and a little bit of Skitchin'.. but mostly Road Rash.

Sniff...sniff...whats that I smell? Why, it's capitalism! If you don't like the system, don't buy the farking game(s)! Personally, I have heard so much whining and biatching from my friends about EA that I wish they would drop off the face of the earth, yet they continue to purchase games marketed by that company. Sheesh.

Can someone help me?

I cant get past the maze of twisty little passages, all alike.

"EA GAMES!"

(whisper) "cheat at everything"

EA is hereby awarded:

I wish battlefield 2142 were made by someone else. If they want to use my bandwidth to give me advertising on a game I purchased, I better see a little bit of that money back...

EA can do what ever they want.

I have not purchased one of there games in 2 years, and I never will again.

EA can suck it.

IT WAS FOR CONTRA!

EA is hereby awarded:

Konami code! yup it was up, Up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A, B, A, Select Start..

kb7rky: WTF are you yakkin about?

They are really milking the customer these days, and not in a good way like prostitutes!

Still, hard pressed, I wouldn't give back SSX3.

keep trying, kb7rky.

Whatever happened to the Pinball Construction Set, anyway?

The code for Contra and Lifeforce(and tons of others) IS up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, and finally, A.

If you've been pressing select then start for a one player game, you've been adding a step for let's see...about 20 years.



/yeah, my nerd blood cried out to me to post that

Hee hee. Submitter had no friends.

bah, I always thought it was retarded to code in cheats...

Uh, the original contra was U, U, D, D, L, R, L, R, B, A, Start (select if you had the friends i never did). It even says so on my video game shirt that wards off the cootie-ridden females.

Back when I was a kid, EA games were good, and jokes about the Konami code weren't played out. And arcade games were only two quarters!

FARK burped all over my farking keyboard.

Fixed it, now...all better

Had to re-photoshop the "Certified Dumbass" pic...

Please, feel free to steal a copy for yourselves...

/I stole it from a webpage ;)

This nickel-and-diming crap is the #1 reason I have no plans to buy any of the new video game systems. Ever. Charging me incrementally for new features in video games? Give me a break. I paid my money, I want access to the whole game. What's this crap I'm hearing about Gran Turismo for the PS3 where it doesn't have, like, any cars or tracks in it and you have to buy them all individually?

Dear video game publishers, get bent.

Sincerely, SeC.

two quarter games were too rich for my blood back then :D

/ wonders where all the arcades have gone
// and all the wasted time went too
/// good times
//// *sigh*

I hear they are giving you the logos and title screen up front but then its pay per level unlock

Yeah, deevo. Remember Desert Strike? Launching Hellfire missiles at school buses was never so fun. I forget what level that was...

Killing "Saddam" while he was trying to get away in his cargo plane was a pretty good ending too.

You know, I'm not really happy with EA Games as of late. The Sims 2 sucked so hard, and Madden 06 was about the buggiest waste of a video game I've ever purchased.

Seriously, if you have the PC version, you can't go more than 4 seasons on Franchise mode without the game freezing up after nobody in the enitre NFL retires, becomes a Free Agent or anything. It's terrible.

And EA Tech Support? Terrible.

EA has no shred of decency left. I refuse to buy any games made by EA, but this doesn't surprise me. It's sad that there are a ton of idiots who will pay for this, though.

So if this was patched content and not code-accessed content then no one would care.

I don't blame EA on this one, this is just bad spin
