I love it when Americans get together for a voting session on different rubbish things.
It makes me laugh and pee pee a little.
Haha gross, also this video made me laugh: Link
In related news, EA just might be win the "worst company in america" award: Link
EA really did win. That's really strange to me considering that BoA has a larger customer base than EA and BoA's customers have a plethora of horror stories.
It's not really surprising considering BoA has the ability to tell the federal government that that was just a one time deal, that no, screwing over a few dozen thousand people was just a phase, they won't hit us again, they swear, they were just drunk and angry that they didn't get that promotion to global chiefs of screwing people over. It won't happen again!
Meanwhile, wholly unrelated of course, I am still suffering quite a bit due to my parents' insurance company griping at them over payments arriving a few days late. I don't think it has anything to do with the $24,000 of theirs that BoA had and subsequently took for themselves when both of them got cancer within six months of each other, nope.
I dislike EA and BioWare and a number of things they do, but any of the higher level owners of BoA - them, I hate. Honestly? EA somehow being hated more than BoA at any one time warrants an actually apt comparison to Hitler on BoA's part. They can literally tell tons of Americans that they are an awesome bank that can never screw anyone over, and that credit unions are evil. Then, when it's proven that they have and that credit unions are actually pretty nice people, they claim that it was just that once, and that it'll never happen again while they reach for your wallet. Comparison to Hitler comes from the fact that he did the same damn thing, multiple times, 'cept with far worse actions each time.

If you're gonna deplore a people, a notion, or a movement, do it right. Include points along with the attempts at ironic humor. Just a suggestion.
I don't really think it's a "rubbish" idea, either. It was a vote organized by a consumer group, and getting a feel for who is generally ****ing people off is kind of what they do. For the larger group of Americans you insulted, I don't know about how your incredibly complex voting systems in the UK go, but voting for online polls of a non-marketing nature in the US takes all of a minute. At most, ten, and that's only if it requires organization of answers instead of just answers.
I find this hilarious seeing as Capcom has an A+ rating, and I have more complaints about Capcom games than I do about Bioware games.
Capcom got an A*.
What.
Link
I think a Phoenix/Layton crossover localisation has been announced since then.

My dear boy, recite the mantra of madness:
"Status Quo Is God!"
It took a beloved franchise of BioWare's not getting a fan-satisfactory ending/an ending with no closure/existentialist crisis to get people in a rut over Mass Effect. Capcom is a company that continues to break even despite a harshly enforced policy of ensuring that 95% of their releases are all part of pre-existing franchises. They've got two original titles being released this year. Maybe three, if you count Steel Battalion being rebooted as something original.
Otherwise, it is damn hard to actually get any large number of people worked up over anything they do. That image? Let me nitpick. Left-right, row by row.
RE5 - On-disc DLC isn't really such a big deal any more, unless only some discs get it.
DR2: CZ - Acted as a paid playable prologue with the ability to import your level and any unlocked weapons/costumes.
DmC - Hideki Karniya (director, guy who made Dante Dante) left Capcom right after the first game in the franchise, as the second and third games pretty blatantly show. And anyone who uses "Developed by Ninja Theory" as a negative is immediately flagging themselves for a punch to the face in my book.
Random Guy From Phoenix Wright that Nobody Liked's Own Little Adventure 2: I'm kidding. I'm sure some people like Miles just fine. But not localizing that game is hardly a travesty, seeing as every game in the series sells much better in Japan, and it sold even worse than the original did. Which, by the way, sold worse than every other game in the Ace Attorney series. Secondary mantra of mandess: "Money, Dear Boy."
Game I honestly don't recognize and Bionic Commando Rearmed 2: Arcade releases, PSN requirement is laughable if there's not also a XBL requirement.
Layton vs. Ace Attorney - See the Edgeworth sequel's entry, but this time, add that the 3DS in US is still perceived as untested waters.
And now I'm sad and refuse to nitpick further, because Layton is Level-5's baby, and I want them to get as much money as feasibly possible since the are responsible for Dark Cloud and White Knight Chronicles. But for the most part, DLC, DRM, localizing. Status quo, status quo, money.

Who cares about reasoning. This Bioware example pretty much proves that people are idiots who get butthurt over anything if it goes against what they want.
The amount of rage going about the internet when UMvC3 was announced half a year after the initial game and then within a week Megaman Legends 3 gets canned was ridiculous.
I don't particularly have anything against Capcom. The only thing that effects me in that list is Investigations 2 not getting a localization =(.
But nearly everything on that list has given Capcom fans a reason to ***** and moan, especially with DLC. Modern day Capcom fighting games seem to use the method of giving you 4/5's of a game for £40 and then making you pay through downloadable or on-disk DLC to get the rest of the game. And it's not like I'm speaking against the crowd. From what I've seen that is the general consensus on Capcom, even by its fans.
I'm just surprised they got an A* is all.
