It’s still great. My kids are playing it and are big fans.

Lol true, the campaign doesn’t really prepare you for the hell that is pug pvp. However, in private games with your buds, best gaim evar!

Titanfall 2 is still the most fun experience overall imo.

Still better than Apple

“EA said, ‘Make this a live service.’ We said, ‘We don’t know how to do that. We should basically start the project over.’”

I read this article as EA interference to the point that the games were made to suck ass.

We’re past the point of adding gambling and live service. Consumers are more savvy imo.

tldr; EA does EA things. Tries to make Dragon Age: Fortnight edition. Fails miserably again lol.

That’s a really great question. I will leave it to other people in the comments to answer.

I took OP’s question to mean, “Give me some top-down game suggestions”.

Now that I read it again, I see your point. But also, I can’t think of any of the suggestions in this thread as being unique.

Factorio 🏭

Factorio is a game in which you build and maintain factories. You will be mining resources, researching technologies, building infrastructure, automating production and fighting enemies.

Already boycott lootboxes and gacha games.

Sell me the game and give free updates or fuck off. I’m done paying you to be your beta tester.

You’re going to hell for this 🤣🤣🤣

This reminds me of 2010 when lootboxes and gacha games were okay because teaching children to gamble with Dad’s credit card was awesome.

15 years later and YouTube doesn’t even know what gambling is anymore, lol.
