Does the Mass Effect Trilogy require I install Origin?

 

[cicero]

uhhh. Are the emails with the Publisher promotional credits they are sending out being duplicated at all? I have received like 16 emails and that doesn't really seem anywhere near right. 6 Ubisoft, 6 EA, 4 THQ...

 

[Omiee]

Always depends on the bundle, it lists it on the product page next to "DRM:"

For this one
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008235PQQ/?tag=neogaf0e-20
no. I know they used to have a Bioshock Dual Pack that was steam keys but I'm not finding one at the moment.

This one is 5 bucks more and has spec ops
www.amazon.com/Desert-to-Sea-Bundle-Download/dp/B0091T6FQO/
Does have steam keys though

 

[RurouniZel]

Yes.

Fuck. Thanks for the info, nearly bought it. >>;

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

its the only way you can play ME3

ME 1 and 2 don't need it (on sale now on steam)

 

[C-Drive]

EDIT: Entirely wrong thread.

 

[RurouniZel]

ME 1 and 2 don't need it (on sale now on steam)

Yeah, but I'd rather play them all together on the same platform. Origin is a deal breaker for me, sadly.

 

[Sysgen]

Yeah, but I'd rather play them all together on the same platform. Origin is a deal breaker for me, sadly.

It shouldn't be. Many of the games you don't need Origin running.

 

[Mr. Luchador]

Amazon have had more of my money than Steam this Sales. Well played.

 

[inm8num2]

Amazon have had more of my money than Steam this Sales. Well played.

Most of that money to Amazon probably went to Steam as well.

Actually I have no idea how much Amazon might be paying Steam for keys, or if they buy keys from the publisher, or something else.

 

[RurouniZel]

It shouldn't be. Many of the games you don't need Origin running.

But it has to be installed on your computer, right? And I don't want to install it with that EULA giving it the right to collect my data. No thanks. >>;

 

[Mr. Luchador]

I'd have thought they'd get the keys from the publisher. Can't imagine Steam getting much (if any) of the money.

 

[LumpOfCole]

Amazon has really won Christmas this year. Steam got lots of my money with the summer sale but they just can't touch Amazon for the holidays.

 

[Boken]

Any Australian been able to buy Dark Souls? I've used a US address, but I think because my Credit card is australian, it just freezes and doesnt accept the purchase.

stuck on verfication.

 

[OniShiro]

Amazon has really won Christmas this year. Steam got lots of my money with the summer sale but they just can't touch Amazon for the holidays.

Agreed. Spent more than 25$ on amazon and only 2.5$ on steam.

Verification can take a while, my first purchase took more than 30 seconds on verification.

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

Fuck. I hope a lot of games are 4.99 or lower on January. Got almost $100 on those coupons.

 

[Sorcerer Supreme]

I just checked my email and saw the email about the THQ discount but I don't see the discount in the check out process.

I'm guessing it's over?

EDIT:

Dark Souls from Amazon redeems on Steam correct?

Haven't started yet.

 

[Kinky John]

Dark Souls from Amazon redeems on Steam correct?

Correct.

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

Wouldn't you get Dark Souls cheaper with the coupons? That's why I'm holding on.

 

[Kinky John]

Assuming they keep the current price, yes. There's a chance they could jack it up come the 1st of January. Maybe someone here who's in contact with Amazon Tony could ask him about it.

 

[GK86]

$13 w/coupon come Jan i think.

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

Check the OP, you save $2. It is not much, but money is money! It is going to be 17.99 until 1/5, that's 12.99 with the coupons.

It will be back on the 26th to January 5th 2013 at 17.99.

So with the $5 promo coupon that is one time use only on a game it will drop to 12.99

 

[Kinky John]

Check the OP

I should start doing that.

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

Question, can I use the coupons multiple times on the same game? I mean, if I buy something with the coupon and want to buy another copy for a friend, can I still use the coupon again?

 

[toastyToast]

I've been purchasing from Amazon since this time last year and it's been working fine. I'm using a Visa debit card if that's any indication

 

[Boken]

I don't have an amazon coupon so yeah...

Verification can take a while, my first purchase took more than 30 seconds on verification.

I asked my friend to do it and it took several minutes, yeah. My own account got locked though. Maybe it was the Google address!

 

[hitmon]

Is Spec Ops: The Line's story really as good as its hyped up to be? Considering that bundle with the Bioshock games.

 

[A Human Becoming]

Have the Christmas deals gone up yet? I was hoping X-Com would be more than 25% off.

 

[StopMakingSense]

I just checked my email and saw the email about the THQ discount but I don't see the discount in the check out process.

12/25 only.

 

[Minion101]

Is Spec Ops: The Line's story really as good as its hyped up to be? Considering that bundle with the Bioshock games.

It's a pretty good video game story.

 

[Zero-Crescent]

Coupons are active. I just bought SRTT: The Full Package for $2.49.

 

[xJavonta]

But it has to be installed on your computer, right? And I don't want to install it with that EULA giving it the right to collect my data. No thanks. >>;

Just uninstall it after downloading the games. It's really not a big deal.

 

[Nabs]

You need it installed for ME3.

I guess no EA credit for me.

 

[Wario64]

OP updated on more details about coupon. I haven't gotten my 2K coupon yet but apparently they should be going out in next few hours

 

[lolmoose]

Nothing too interesting EA wise for me.. maybe ME2 for $5..

 

[O.DOGG]

Is Spec Ops: The Line's story really as good as its hyped up to be? Considering that bundle with the Bioshock games.

Yes, pretty good. But the game is not "fun". It's an unpleasant experience, and that's part of the point. Don't want you going in with the wrong expectations. Still, having said that, I think it's an experience worth having, and the game has a lot of balls for saying what it's saying. It will probably make you think, and that's valuable.

We have an ongoing discussion about it but it may contain a spoiler here and there.

 

[Nabs]

Picked up SR2 for 2.49. Not bad.

If you don't have a THQ coupon you can always buy that $0.32 DS2 dlc.

 

[Zero-Crescent]

Heads up, Guild Wars 2 is going to be $29.99 today.

Guild Wars 2 $29.99 FYI 12/25 only.

Cheers,
Tony

EDIT: Also, the Darksiders Franchise Pack is back at $13.19, and I believe that the $5 coupon can be applied to it.
EDIT 2: Now it's back at $39.99. Probably working out a bug some have experienced where it shows the regular price for it and the DC collection in the checkout screen.

 

[Aaron]

What time is the Dreamcast pack going to flip prices?

Edit: Just flipped.

 

[toastyToast]

Damn! That GW2 deal looks pretty sweet

Stupid Amazon, passing thoughts are turning into purchases with these crazy ass prices.

 

[IcyRhythms]

What time is the Dreamcast pack going to flip prices?

I'd like to know that question but replace Dreamcast with Borderlands 2

edit

NVM

deal is up but it's no better than it was a few days ago or the Steam deal...ugh

 

[Zero-Crescent]

XCOM: Enemy Unknown just flipped to $24.99, though the 2K coupon isn't active until the 26th, so it's not known right now whether the price will stick around for that.

 

[jediyoshi]

Jesus Christ. Darksiders Franchise pack.

Order Total: $8.97

You toy with my emotions, Amazon.

 

[Echoplx]

XCOM: Enemy Unknown just flipped to $24.99

Will this work with the 2k credit?

 

[Basileus777]

Jesus Christ. Darksiders Franchise pack.

It's still $13 for me...

Edit: Oh, right, coupon.
