Origin Thread of trying to get EA games for free

Also, I will never understand why Bioware doesn't allow PC gamers to use gamepads. It's so amazingly annoying.

For the Dragon Age games it actually makes sense since the PC UI is totally different and that kind of game just works better with mouse and keyboard.

Mass Effect is a different story though.
 
Too bad I already got most EA games I want cheap/free even before the coupon "deal".
Still I got Crysis and Mirrors Edge to "try" for free, so I cannot complain :)
 
Add me on Origin and I'll be down for Battlefield 2 and Burnout Paradise.

Add both so because I have different games for those accounts.

I regret not getting DA2 for shits and giggles.


I felt the same way when I tried DA:O. I enjoyed it, but it was lacking everywhere. Never bothered to buy it after but now I'll jump right into Awakening eventually. I don't know what mods my friend had but he had some sweet non-vanilla stuff. Definitely had a cool mod scene.

Mirror's Edge is all right? All right? They didn't make it for you! In all seriousness, though, it controls so well with M/Kb. Give it a shot. I should've double dipped for the DLC - apparently the Steam version doesn't allow you to view cd key to activate on origin.

edit: oh shit, I don't know what happened but I was met with a "Not connected to Origin" message just now. When I selected "go online" I held my breath...but it's all still there. Thank goodness.

Well I already played Origins on 360 and loved it.

I already had the Dragon Age games by adding my CD keys from the physical copies. I also had Mass Effect 1 & 2 on Steam, but figured I'd get them again on Origin (back when you can do multiple games in one transaction)

Total damage done was $12 because I bought Mass Effect 3. If the servers didn't suck so bad, I was going to get Battlefield 3 for $16, but they took down the sale before I could buy it. I did manage to get Back to Karkland; little good it does me without BF3 though.

I think Origin/EA might create a new survey and issue some new coupons, probably better crafted this time.

It seems that I was right, EA is issuing a new coupon for those who filled the survey.

Hi everyone,

Last week, we emailed some Origin users in North America asking them to participate in an online survey, and offered a promo code for $20 off their next Origin purchase in return for completing the survey. Unfortunately, due to some misuses of the promo code, we had to discontinue its use early before its stated expiration date.

We wanted to clear up the confusion: all users that completed the survey will receive an email soon (in the next 1-2 days) which will contain a new code for $20 off a purchase of any EA game on Origin priced $19.99 or above.

Thank you again to all users that took the time to provide us with feedback about Origin.

Their Euro prices are really high, I don't know why they are doing that.

Yeah, the vast majority of their decently priced games or vouchers/sales are North America only. Hopefully the reason we don't have the survey over here is that everyone took one look at the prices and lack of competitive sales on Origin and decided not to buy anything from them. The only games I have on it are ones bought on Steam or at retail.
 
Added myself to the doc. I just recently installed origin and need some friends, I picked up Butnout Paradise and NFS Hot Pursuit today for $8. I have Most Wanted preordered and will be down to play.

Add me: jyoung188
 
Origin name: Ploidz

I have a lot of Need For Speed games, and I just got The Run (I like it). I kinda want some autolog action.
 
So I downloaded Bullet Storm and GFWL started popping up everywhere. Is that what it's turned into? A platform agnostic social platform for other launchers?
 
Just loaded up Origin and there is an ad on the store saying 50% off games when you play there haloween game. It includes Battlefield 3 Premium for £19.99.

Since this is the Origin |OT| and Origin is all about free games I'll point out that they are giving away Battlefield 1942 for free on their page. Here is some more information.
Maybe this'll push both Origin and this thread back to life.

Nice. My uncle and aunt got this game with a PC they bought and gave it to me, so I have the disc version. I never really played online so I never experienced the game as it was meant to be.
 
Anyone wanting FIFA 10 for free:

https://www.zucaritaspromo.com/
- click in "Quiero el juego"
- Choose Equador as the country
- insert e-mail address and a 4 letter code. Try several combinations until it works. I managed to get one at the 3rd attempt.


You'll then receive a origin key at your e-mail address

I hope these four-letter combinations aren't unique and that you aren't inadvertently screwing somebody out of a legit copy if the game.

Codes seem unique. Try EKCG, if it gives an error we will be sure.

Also you need to see this:
"Hemos enviado un código de descarga a la dirección de correo que nos proporcionaste, recuerda revisar tu bandeja de correo no deseado."

to know it worked.

Tried this, said the code didn't exist, tried another random code, worked. Got an email from Tony the Tiger with a key

Guessing some kid in Latin America is going to try punching the code he found in a box of Frosted Flakes into the computer who'll become sad when the code fails, then.

Either way, it's just another free game we won't care about. :P

Somehow I convinced myself that it is as good as Fifa 13 and there is nothing but minor team changes. I'll never find out how good/bad it is if I never play it, and if you don't spoil it.

I'm actually playing Fifa 10 with my friend on XBOX since he has no intention to get any newer versions and I don't bother because they are just short matches.

FYI, PC version looks nothing like the Xbox version...(Xbox 360 right?)

It is Xbox 360, but I'm not sure if you mean it in a good way or bad. So thanks for the ambiguity.

I wanted to cheer this conversation up with a funny meme on Latin America but couldn't find any. So I'll put in a racist joke instead:
Why should that kid eat Frosted Flakes when s/he could have cocaine.
*Rimshot*

I'm an asshole :(

That kids deserves my Origin account, with the full 14 games in it... for which I haven't paid a cent. Gotta thank EA for being so generous.
