It's okay to blacklist an entire publisher.
I haven't bought any games from EA at all since 2013 and know I missed nothing because it's all just reruns of the same game formula.
Mirror's Edge and It Takes Two are genuinely amazing
It takes two looked great, but there are just so many games out there I still feel ok having missed it.
Mirrors edge was 2008.
I mean CS:GO was 2012, and it only "died" a few months ago. Hell, Mario 64 was 1996, and it still has a huge following. Genuinely good games remain timeless
Edit: forgot about the part where you mentioned "since 2013," so ignore my point
CS:GO is a valve title not EA. I was specifically referring to EA.That aside..
CS:GO was only a repackaging of CS expansion which itself was a repackaging of CS half-life mod from 1998.
Sure 14 years later the graphics engine was a little updated and there were new maps, but I played a lot of the original and after installing CS:GO I was supremely underwhelmed by the lack of change.
It Takes Two too often borrowed from that "well that just happened!" school of comedy that I just couldn't stand. Not all the time mind you, but enough to bother me.
