Dear Origin, You Stink

The Escapist's Shamus Young - "I am on record as saying that I would like for Steam to have a worthy rival in the digital distribution market. Nothing against them, but a little competition is good for us. The problem is, very few companies have the clout, the cash, and the connections to build a proper competitor to Steam."

Why rant about Steam EA games not available on Origin you forgot to research most EA games from steam can be activated on Origin.

Get your serial number, open Origin, under the my games tab, select the little gear icon, select redeem game code. It will ask you for the language, select English. And that should be that.

tmoss7265274d ago

That's because EA doesn't want you to use Steam....

Dovahkiin5274d ago

What a pendejo, clearly missing the point...

lugia 40005274d ago

Dear guy, Origin only sucks because you got mad that Battlefield 3 didnt come to Steam. Its called competition, get over it.

closnyc25274d ago

haha what a noob. You cant see its not competition. If it was then they would take it off every other digital distribution, however, d2d, gamersgate, impulse all have bf3, fifa, me3 and all other ea games. Steam is the only one that EA doesnt want to have it. EA makes all the profit and they know gamers these days are so dumb theyll buy it anyways, like you. So they get all the money. Fact is, a game is not on steam for me = no buy.

gamingdroid5274d ago

I'm kind of happy they are failing. I would hate to see EA be dominant at anything. They are a very consumer hostile company!

I don't know of any other company that would ban you from your legally purchased games simply for violating forum rules.

closnyc25274d ago

sad thing is theyre not failing. FIFA 12 has had the most sales ever, me3 pre orders are high, bf3 sold well and nfs the run sold very decent as well. They are not in the millions, but its enough to make a couple million in profits, so as long as they keep making that, theyll keep pushing origin.

Chnswdchldrn5274d ago

I'll take steam anyday over this spyware piece of shit origin

Mass effect 3 Origin required? Bad move EA. Bad. Move.

solar5274d ago

My mate tried to buy SWTOR off Origin and they were "sold out" of the standard digital.copy. yet had the $20 more SE copies available. Yeah right EA. Another mate had to wait 2 hours to PAY EA for another month of SWTOR because of errors on there webpage.

Laughable.

NYC_Gamer5274d ago (Edited 5274d ago )

i refuse to buy any EA title that forces me to download origin

Nitrowolf25274d ago

wait
wtf
how could you be out of digital copies?

That is absolutely BS EA!!

Darkfocus5274d ago

I can understand a 3rd party like steam or direct2drive running out of licenses to sell(this happened with prey and they never got more) but EA owns the new republic it's purely to sell more of the more expensive edition.

zeal0us5274d ago

Seem like the other day I was joking with my cousin about getting hit with a sold out page while trying to buy a digital game....But dang didn't know it could actually happen.

Nitrowolf25274d ago

@ zeal0ou

as Darkfocus said, it can happen to third parties, but for a first party to run out of it? Just bollocks

Rolling the Dice: Do Modern RPGs Miss the Point of Team-Based Play?

It seems it was long time ago. A bunch of friends spending hours on end playing RPG games, sitting around the table with the box of cold pizza. Excited about the story, listening to the Game Master, they were completely engaged in the worlds only visible to them and their imaginations.

The GM is the programmer, and in MMOs and co-ops, you can play with others. If you want to ONLY use your imagination for the visuals, read a book.

1) Hope they put it on disc this time.
2) Hope this is a positive for Neptune coming over as well.

Demons Souls5867d ago

If so, that's being developed & published by Idea Factory. Compile Heart has nothing to do with it (Thank God for that).

Godmars2905867d ago (Edited 5867d ago )

Thought Compile Heart was one of the companies lending characters.

Was also speaking in general as in regards to a US of Neptune. If these guys are offing a second game, NIS or Atlus, both of whom offer quirkier titles, will put that one out.

@kagon01:
My issue isn't - wholly - with the DL-only option, but the price. The first game should be $30. Maybe $40, and by that I mean $39.99. The only reason its $45 is the 360 disc version which has extras. Nevermind that by all rights its a PS2 game. Something that proabbly could have been done if the devs had the GOW2 engine or tools.

ClownBelt5867d ago

I approve of this god damn message.

Could have gotten my 60 bucks if they just put it on a disc.

Another exclusive damnn the ps3 keeps on rollin wit games awesome ;)

Jack-Pyro5867d ago

Is this a half decent SRPG, porn aside, cause if it is, i might just decide to go and buy it for the 360.

Anon73495867d ago

There's no porn just some sexual innuendos but that's it.

Also it is a great game by itself, maybe not graphically but everything else is top tier.

RedDevils5867d ago

so it had some kind of "top tier" porn story jk

ThanatosDMC5867d ago

Yup, it's a decent game. I just hate that a move has to go first before any attack options.
