EA Hates DSM's. Protest the new Need For Speed!

[98GSXin]

What fun is life if you take pride in shooting down others when they are flying high? Do all you guys with problems against this have a problem with other people's happiness too? If you don't agree with it or don't want a part in it then leave it alone and go bring somebody else's day down. Your negativity is scaring away those who would have been on the fence of joining.

DSMs are old, sure. But DSMs are also a lot of fun and something that a lot of members are passionate about. If you don't feel the sting of this from EA, then you have lost your passion for DSMs and maybe you should reconsider your DSM ownership for someone who gives a ----.

Its hilarous the people in here boycotting the game are mostly still wet behind the ears when it comes to these cars. The ones that just shrug it off have join dates of early 00's.

Notice a trend there? Grow up kids. Your car isn't a god mobile. Its a shitty mitsubishi red-headed stepchild product to hold them over until the Evo came stateside.

You really think in 2010 theyre gonna include a crappy 15 second car that went out of production a decade ago? GET A GRIP ON REALITY.



Interesting, seeing NFS:U and U2 came out in 2003 and 2004 respectively......last 2g rolled off the line what, late '98 as a '99 model.

I partly agree with you... .Although a Join Date to this Site a few years ago doesn't mean someone didn't have Dsm back in the early 2000's

and like bender said
I think your missing why people are unhappy abouy this... .

 

[Fehrion_sit]

i know dsms that have beaten ferreri's, mustangs, corvettes at autocross events consistently ... EA can kiss my ass

 

[ramsack]

You don't think that maybe someone with a modded car has gotten to know it better than maybe some snob with a Ferrari or Vette? Put the same driver in all those cars, which ones do you think would win an autocross, stock? The amount of money people stick into modding a car and they could just buy a Ferrari or something.

 

[blackhawkgsx]

IM in ad me to the list!!!! Im tired of getting a game and they seem to always forget about dsms and if they do put a "dsm" in the game its the ESI I.E Gran Turismo!

 

[crimsondragon]

You guys are all butthurt. Learn to spell first. Most of these posts look like somebody barfed up a Boggle game. Even the 420A guys are less butthurt than majority of the 4g guys. You guys make the Honda board look like high class gentlemen.

 

[master jared]

hey crimsondragon do u drive a honda no u do not so pull out ## wedgie dude and somebody add me to this list hard core dsmer here guys

 

[MY1GDSM]

Wow, there's so much p¡ssing and moaning in this thread that I doubt anyone would take it seriously. . .

This ^

Lets be real. Most DSM owners I have come across...are your average ricers. Hence the constant abuse and utter ricing of these cars. To those on this forum and few others that know what this car is about and what it is capable of and do a good job of building it them selves and making it look respectable (even though most of you are ####in fan boys and think anything beyond the stock swirly rims is rice) can indeed pat them selves on the back. For pretty much everyone else out there that sees or owns a DSM does not because more often then not when you see one it looks like shit, sounds like shit, and is a giant pile of shit. NFS was indeed about exotics. Are all of the cars in NFS exotic? God no.

Hell I hate most of their games too because at the end of the day its god damn ricer burner arcade. I picked up shift with high hopes because the demo seemed legit and it felt like a nice departure from the usual EA crap with the G27 wheel. 20 minute in boy was I wrong. The usual Array of utterly bull shit BODY KITS. 15k for 3in exhaust and 10k to "raise boost"....needless to say I'm not too happy with the 27 dollars I spent.....

It funny because the DSM sucked...and was probably a FF....and they are in the middle of Hollywood where they park as he said 6 figure price tag cars..... Tell me you would give 2 shits about a DSM if you drove Lambos and Ferraris all day long? I highly doubt it. You know cars that you don't have to constantly fix yourself...every 500 miles.....or less......

i enjoy EA's games..but for that..you can put me on the list.

Those arent dsmers

You never cease to amuse me with your mostly ignorant posts. And you keep coming back trying to defend EA. You work for them or something? You take peoples opinions personally, which is very childish. Everyone has as much of a right to express their opinion as you do. You're not special.

Speaking of people whining, every third post in this thread is you bitching about peoples' comments.

And you can buy a Ferrari or something with the amount of money spent modding a dsm? Are you ####ing retarded? How many people have dropped $350k on a dsm? 8 second drag dsms only have about 80k-100k in them. The average drag racer has about 25k, and the average dsm'r has around what? 5k?

If you want to go head to head ceteris paribus? Sure. Let's assume you spent top dollar for a new dsm. $28,000. How fast are you going to go with a $28,000 Ferrari? Here's news for you. You wouldn't even have a running car.

Right they are just owners. I can respect a full blooded DSMer, though.

True. But, I bet you what ever you get for 28k may just be a real pretty piece of engineering that you couldn't help but oo and and aaaaaw every time you looked at it.

That's the MSRP of the Eclipse GSX in the 90's.

 

[ramsack]

It seems most of the people signing this are "boycotting" because EA doesn't include a DSM in their games that feature exotic sports cars rather than the actual commercial supposedly directly insulting DSM cars. Anyone who bitches about the games not featuring a DSM should have their names removed, then the list would be a lot smaller...

 

[Lofty]

Man, is it just me, or did you go through this whole thread like WTF?

I laughed at this commercial.

Really? You guys are being super defensive over our shitty cars.

I think everyone who put their name on this list, and is making a big deal about this is kind of arrogant.

These cars are worth what, free-3000$ on the market?

I hear you can pick up a 1G AWD.. and get a hand job from the previous owner while loading it on the trailor.

 

[GSX_TC1]

I'm still mad... can I vote twice?

I Second this.

Do they realize what audience they have been marketing to for almost a decade? If I had a Honda and I saw this commercial I'd just say...wow...I feel shitty now.

Yes I agree. It is stupid and asinine to even think a $28,000 15-20 year old sports car would be included in a game featuring NEW $65,000 sports cars and $350,000 exotics.

My impression is that everyone is made that they said "Something you actually want to drive," as in who in the hell would want to drive a dsm?

I see the issue as not insulting the car/platform, but insulting the owner. Like, "What is wrong with you for wanting to drive that car?"

^this

I know I could care less personal weather it's in the game or not...

Hell the Commercial IMO would be funny if it wasn't for a couple obvious reasons but... "Something you actually want to drive" is what I see as the problem as well...

 

[ramsack]

Exactly. If this happened to you, would you not be pissed that you were personally offended rather than them insulting a car? I really just don't get it.

 

[AlaskanDsm]

Wasn't feeling too good last night so I did not update the list. Sorry guys.

There a couple reasons for me to want to sign the petition. First is the one stated above... "Something you actually want to drive". hell yea I want to drive this car and be proud to have owned it. Personally, I would rather take the money I could spend on a new ferrari and I would restore the shit out of my car to showroom form. Why? becasue If I have that kind of money, I would own every version of the DSM (up to 99)! I love these cars. Do I care if the car is in the game... No, but it would be interesting and a bonus.

Second, I don't like NFS anyways, So I would gladly sign something boycotting the game.

 

[2gmummy]

Something you want to drive....

Yes dsms are super fun to drive but i would love to drive any lambo or supercar for that matter. Its kinda like the hottest chick at your high school or like jessica alba/ kim kardashian imo

Image you didnt own a dsm, never had before and had no experience with them, now image you have two cars infront of you and you can have only one..ones is a 96 eclipse and the other is a bugagtti veyron (how ever you spell it) which one would you choose and WHY?
