gagebastian Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 well if EA takes over, i probaly wont be playing the next gta well you're an idiot cause nothing says it wont be just as good. When I buy a banana, do I change the way it tastes? No, I just eat it and take advantage of it's fruity goodness. The same applies to EA buying T2.

2798387 Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 If EA will get there hands on GTA it’s the end of the GTA! The will ruin it!! Be sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chitoryu12 Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Haven't we already seen that Rockstar and Take-Two have a history of not letting people f*ck with their games? Besides, EA=/=End of GTA. Stop going all doom and gloom and thinking that every business decision either massively improves or destroys a company. Besides, T2 already denied the last offer. What makes you think they'll accept this one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What makes you think they'll accept this one? i agree with you, Rockstar's games will not change, they will remain a subsidiary of EA, however T2 will accept the first good offer after GTA IV is released, they have stated several times they are all for a buyout, but only after the game is released.

gtabhoy6788 Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 I hope this doesn't happen Maybe if it does, all the people who make GTA just now could quit and start a new company, and make the best game ever, and EA would get no money. Now THAT would be awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chitoryu12 Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 if this is true and rockstar accepts, it will be the end for gta as we know it Oh, enough of the goddamn doom and gloom. EA isn't like Hitler blitzing through the video game industry, taking over everything by force and horribly oppresing the masses. EA is smart enough to know that if they screw with GTA, they're going to lose a major cash cow. They aren't going to mess up one of the most famous video games series and ruin their financial year.

Ten1220 Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 I want EA to burn to the ground. I'm in agreement with most of you. I will NEVER buy another GTA game if Take 2 sells out to those crappy crappy game developers. Case in point? James Bond franchise. VAPORIZED by EA. They ruined the entire thing after taking over Rare and they'll ruin GTA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teetdogs Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 This may have been brought up already but Take Two and R* really have no say in this its the shareholders who get the say so. and guess what they dont care about the quality of games EA makes they care how much money EA has and how much of it they will get. Games mean absolutly nothing to them. its all about the benjamins baby!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gta 4 ever Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 only good game associated with EA... skate ...i hope they don't buy out take two and GTA... if they did take over this would probably be the name of the next game (gta sims) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psyclon_Nine Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 another thing is that medal of honour airboarne actually looked like it might be a good game but then..i guess they probably spent 6months on the parachuting bit and 2 days on the combat.(BTW EA the combat was still the main part of the game) Yeah man, that game was pretty hyped, but it died FAST. EA sucks, period...although NASCAR 09 will be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doa kappatango Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 The funny thing is that the original offer was $26.00 per share. This drop surely wont be accepted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gutslab Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 I despise EA so much. My hate started around 2003 when they acquired the NASCAR license. "In 2003 EA purchased the license to NASCAR for 6 years, ending competition from Papyrus and Infogrames." I have been in the sim racing community for over a decade, and they are still disliked alot by many others. The last game produced by the amazing group Papyrus, was NASCAR Racing 2003 Season. This game is the best thing that has EVER come out. Several hundred this play this game, and it's been over SIX YEARS! Over 10000 cars painted, over 5000 tracks, over 200 mods, this game was my life for quite a while. Of course if you don't like racing, you won't get what I'm trying to say, but basically I also hope Take 2 doesn't sell out. We don't need anymore sh*tty games. I also have the last great console racing game, which was released by Infogrames, in 2002 before they also went out of business like Papyrus thanks to EA.

agincourtsalute Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 So much for the offer only been on the table before the release of GTA IV, now the EA vultures are trying to scavenge for a piece of the leftovers of profit that can be made after the first few weeks of GTA going on sale. Odds on the money grabbing shareholders at T2 sell R* out in a flash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wattafax Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 only good game associated with EA... skate EA are well known for making super-sh*tty games. Even in skate, the gameplay was ok, but the dialogs were unbelievably irritating and f*cked up the whole game. So f*ck you, EA! Go buy out some other crap making companies and leave R* alone.

gcheckov Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 In reference to EA, I'm going to quote the immortal Duke Nukem, "Eat sh*t and die!" EA would instantly destroy GTA as a franchise. They would take out all the cursing, drugs, guns, sex, violence and gameplay. The reason they're making this bid is simply to eliminate the competition as GTA has consistently knocked out any of their garbage offerings. If EA would spend 1/10th of their takeover bid on making anything other than minimal quality games, they might get back on the right track. Madden and NHL have been going purely backwards for 3-4 years, and all the versions they've made for the PS3 so far have sucked. Death to EA!

brz59 Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 I think the main reasin why EA is interested in T2, is not GTA IV, but they are afraid of rivalry. T2 is a new rising star and EA is simply pile of sh*t. They are afraid that T2 will grow bigger than them and out shadow EA. They can suck a big fat cock, because I'm quite confident that after GTA IV launch, they can stick their offer into their anuses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wattafax Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 The main difference between EA and T2 is that T2 periodically knocks out a couple of great games, while EA keep a constant stream of sh*t coming from them. I still wonder why so many people buy their games, though. The only halfway decent things they have are skate and burnout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesm Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 well ea may have 26 billion dollars(they do.) but that doesnt mean they make better games. Take two may only have 260 million but they make 10x better games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
god_hand5 Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 guys, this has been said before T2 is just the publisher, the only thing that will change if ea gets T2 is who gets the money every year, the games will not change other than maybe a logo on the box and in the main loading screen, thats it.

obsidian14 Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 I hope thats the case, but we know EA won't just buy Take2 and leave Rockstar alone. Also does anyone remember what happened to Westwood and the Command and Conquer series when EA pillaged it? I rest my case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havok S14 Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 EA is just trying to buy every thing to make that mulla but it doesn't really mater in terms of the games......I think, does it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boogernut Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Lols EA will ruin GTA if they buy out Take2 and I bet the houser's will leave if they do but it won't stop EA from making GTA games check this article :- http://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/ea-c...ockstar-analyst sorry... i know this is immature but did anybody realize this..... "c...ockstar" ha ha........ actually... it's not that funny... sorry but what is this junk that i see "tl;dr" ???? What does that mean.... and people don't get angry at me for just proving a small point Which is that YOU CAN'T SAY THERE WOULD BE NO BENEFITS from EA buying R* yeah, there maybe a lot of negatives, which aside from the two obvious ones, i can't see, but i believe there are others...... but at the same time there would definitely be positives.. whatever... we'll just have to see what happens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does your day job consist of walking around naked wearing a sandwich board that reads "END OF THE WORLD!"? That has the same chance of happening as every copy of GTA IV ever made spontaneously exploding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
