I think the code has stopped working now, but it did work in the UK. You just had to get onto the US store.Let me guess...this still doesn't work in the UK, does it?

It's a shame the two games I picked run like complete CRAP. CRAP!
Mercenaries 2 wont even show the world, just floating trees. And Saboteur has terrible light streaking glitches, and hitches like crazy.
You get what you pay for, i suppose :lol

And it seems that nobody took Dragon Age 2. I hope EA can use these statistics in future. Nobody liked Dragon Age 2, even when it's free. And many people got Mirror's Edge and there isn't a sequel for it.
It's like EA trying to see which IP has more fans buy giving them free.
Mission Successful.

That is actually the game I got with my code after taking the survey. Been wanting it for awhile but always hoping someone would eventually bundle the dlc. But for free I am willing to buy the dlc for extra.
I don't think GAF has that functionality, but slickdeals does.

ahh so I guess I was a little late to the party.
Thanks for clearing that up.
I'm actually thankful that someone posted a link to the US store because I ended up buying Fifa 13 for $39 US instead of $79 AU(!) out of this lol. So EA got my money in the end
I found a way around this: when you first click on "time trials," a message comes up about connecting to the EA servers for a few seconds before the screen asking for the code. Press B on the controller or esc on the keyboard during that screen, and it'll ask you if want to play offline. Say yes and you can play all the maps, you just can't upload your scores.
(This is about the Mirror's Edge DLC, BTW)

Now it won't start downloading anything, just spits out an error. Even with free games Origin manages to annoy me.
But EA already knows DA2 is shit and the last audience they care to listen to is PC gamers
Awww, I missed the endgame frenzy. Ah well. I at least I was there day 1
Edit:
Oh wow, didn't know this got around overclock.net

It was the only game that worked that I didn't already have, or hadn't already gamefly'd.
So it remains the only game in my Origin account, and maybe I'll get around to playing it at some point

I think we can use a NeoGAF Origin Friend List.
I made a google docs list. You can add yourselves if you want.
Here is the form.
And here is the list itself for viewing.
Don't be jealous
Seriously it's sad people "brought" games they will never ever play in their lifetime.
Added my Origin account to the list. Feel free to add me.

That Origin option "Keep game installers after installation of the game" doesn't seem to work for me.
The folder I selected for that purpose remains empty.

TBH, I prefer a full on Steam SALE to this. I still think the only thing Origin is good for is BF3 lol.

Which you can alleviate with a simple dll file which basically makes it so you can launch BF3 without Origin

oooooooooOOooohh.. I have to look into that.

hide your water-based mammals
About the only thing I use Origin for is managing games. Once I install, I don't really need to deal with it anymore. That's the way it should be when I have Steam fulfilling all my community needs. I don't mind giving EA money if they have a good game though.

Until they patch that out.
Don't know why they would now. I first heard about that fix about a month after the game came out.

That's been out for a while. I don't care if they patch it out but they haven't done so yet.
And I just realized that I got that nice haul and I also now have the first map pack for BF3. Looks like I'm getting back into that later today after work.

It's a fantastic game once you get over that little hurdle. Almost better than BF3. ALMOST.
Oh, and this.
LiquidMetal14
hide your water-based mammals
Should have bought it on Steam
And it's not quite as good as BF3 but fun to have on the side.

I think that predates Origin...wasn't the Beta done through Steam?
EDIT: Appears Steam was one of many options.

Here's the little secret about this, the installer is stored in the folder where the game installs, so take bullet storm, it would be in...for example:
D:\Origin Games\Bulletstorm\_Installer
Hope that helps

It is better than BF3, I had way more fun with BC2. One of the best multiplayer FPS's of this gen by far IMO.

Lol, I double dipped for origins and awakening, and got mirror's edge, but no Da2.

But BF2 is still the best in the series. Luckily I got that as well after I lost my discs

May I have a cookie?
Bulletstorm is free!
Ahhhh!
I live in EU... is there any way to get this game? Like is there gifting in Origin?
