Was able to get Burnout Paradise for free yesterday. Glad I waited for the best possible deal. In all seriousness, what the fuck is my problem? This game is AMAZING. Definitely getting NFS at full retail to make up.

Burnout Paradise is one of my favorite games this gen. Enjoy it

 

[SephirothRK]

Thanks to Wario, I got 39 games/dlc for the low price of $0.

..... That I may or may not play.

We need to have a Wario appreciation day where we post the amount of money we've saved because of him.

Pay him all the money we owe EA?

can people still launch bullet storm. cuz i still can't. curse you GFWL.

Yes, when it says GFWL needs to verify the date of this game or whatever, just hit enter on your keyboard. The game will launch and update.

 

[DarkFlow]

Well played, EA. Allow us to download your games thinking we're getting them for free and then hit us up for the activation code when it comes time to actually play them. And to think we thought we were playing them all along. EA got game and gamed us all.

The code is in the game info screen, or the Email. You have to input some manually.

I wasn't serious. I'm one of the few that actually had an Origin account before all of this and actually paid EA cash money for their games.

I had asked this in the Origin thread, but how can I use the download key on a different PC service? I want to get achievements on the Dragon age games.

I don't think you can, as far as I know.

Edit: I just checked and Bioware's social network has achievements for Dragon Age. Bioware's service handles dlc too.

You can't but Dragon Age has in-game achievements.

DA uses Bioware's social network service.

Games for Windows!!!!!!!!

The best thing ever.

So people that like GFWL do exist. That or you're living up to your screenname.

How did you get your code to run on GFWL if you don't mind me asking?

 

[bigace33]

Is your actual Live account in good standing or up to date? It worked just fine when I did it as I was having the same problem at first.

 

[Stronghammer22]

What's your operating system? What version of GFWL are you running?

You may need to dabble in some port forwarding depending on what else you've tried and what your answers are to the above.

 

[10k]

So, what games does this thing work for? Cuz I tried Darksiders I, II and deluxe edition and it says invalid code.

Reading OP and thread helps. EA titles only. That and If I am correct, it has expired.

windows 7.

I've played FIFA 12. All. Day. Long.

I am now sorely tempted to buy FIFA 13. Well played EA, well played...

Does the XBL window show up at all once you're in-game so you can sign in?

If not, you may need to download Windows Live ID if that's the case, like I did. Apparently it's "Microsoft account" now. Here you go.

My problem used to be that I couldn't even do anything in the main menu of RE5 because the usual XBL window didn't show up, thus I couldn't sign in. I couldn't even do anything; no button prompts showed up in the game menu, iirc.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Played some B2K before work earlier and installed my 4 games. Life is good.

 

[Nabs]

Bulletstorm installed without a problem.

If you're serious about picking it up, it's on sale at Amazon right now. There's also an addition 2 dollar off coupon from Tony: "SQRLUVIO"

I can play FIFA 12 forever because I have no idea who the players are.

So very tempting. Are the new play controls a big enough improvement over FIFA 12 to buy now or should I wait until I've gotten my moneys worth out of 12?

Spoiler

Moneys worth, I made a funny!

There's some new fangled way to control your players. That's what is tempting me....

You might have to ask that in the Fifa thread, I haven't had a chance to play it yet. I'm still enjoying Fifa 12 (I picked it up when it was 10 on amazon), so I'll probably wait until the holiday sales.

 

[01DragonFly]

We tried playing the latest Sims 3 Supernatural and got this error:

"Unable to start. Please reintall the base game."


ARGH! The base game is on a CD somewhere, but everything after that was downloaded from EA.

you have

There is a big PC FIFA Community for the new game!

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=493534

They play quite frequently as well (I have played less recently :lol). My friend who has never played a FIFA game before and has zero interest in Football has been really enjoying it. The biggest change is the first touch system which means the ball bounces off your feet rather then just sticking to your feet.

I'm not sure if you will find it is worth the money but with the sale on Amazon I would say go for it!

i can't even start the game cuz its trying to validate the date but can't connect to live services. ive kinda given up so its k.

 

[gotee12]

Thanx for all the input guys. I'll probably just wait for a bigger sale since I'm enjoying FIFA 12 so much.

 

[SomeOneInaHat]

Thanks to the NeoGaf Origin spreadsheet I now have friends to keep up with in NFS: Hot Pursuit. I previously bought it, but it lost luster when I couldn't compare times through Autolog.

Also, I cannot believe it took me this long to play Spore. I am really enjoying how layered and relaxing it is to just make a dumb thing that makes friend or destroys other dumb things.

For Mercenaries 2... I'm glad it was free.

Anyone have trouble launching Battlefield: Bad Company 2?

Hi everyone,

The coupon code is now expired; we’ll honor all sales made with the coupon code over the weekend and hope fans enjoy their games.

Ah well, got SimCity Societies for free, can't really complain too much about a free game, even if I could have gotten more.
