He is even collecting games on Origin: 105 games on Origin | A_dJ_OffCourse
Wish EA did know how pricing works and what and $ actually meant instead of placing them randomly.

Not that I've noticed, nope. It's kinda nice because now I can tab out of the game to surf the net

I have 31 games on Origin if you are wondering. And I assume you don't, but I'm going to post anyway.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
Applied, tempted to also apply the term "propaganda". Oh dear, the steam forum for that is a catastrophe

honestly, I would just go dark for now. Personally, the game is out in a week and I don't want to see anymore than I already have. I've tried to stay out of all the DS2 threads and go in clean*
*as soon as Nuuvem gives me my key.
There is so much trolling in this.
my job is done
I do find this odd, to be honest but people lose their Zen so quickly. That is not the way.

I've done my part and added to the tags.
Also added "Mt. Dew" since the full name isn't accepted.

Also, Geoff Keighley being the publisher just is hilarious to me for some reason.
So shameless holy shit lol.

Say what you will about The Final Hours of Titanfall, I'm probably gonna buy it. :x
Physical copies were delayed in the UK for some reason. I ordered from amazon.uk. After waiting for them to release the game, which is going to be even more late I still have to wait even more time due the International Shipping. I feel I've been waiting forever and now I'm going to wait even more. *tiny tear*

ME3 is Origin exclusive to this day. So is Dead Space 3 and BF3/4. If those guys didn't come to steam titanfall sure as hell aint coming.
Before Enlightenment chop wood, carry water, troll Steam forums. After enlightenment chop wood, carry water, troll Steam forums.
To be honest 90% of it seems ironic though.
I thought those Final Hours of Half-Life 2 and Portal by him were pretty well regarded. It's really only because the game itself is not on Steam that's making it weird.
The only exclusivity it has is MS paid them to not release on PS3/4 or WiiU. They could release it on Steam if EA wanted to, but they love Origin.
Don't expect Titanfall 2 on Steam, unless Origin is dropped altogether.

I love the sound of the new ideologies/affinities in Civ: Beyond Earth. Harmony is symbiosis with the new alien world, Supremacy is symbiosis and augmentation with advanced machinery (cybernetics, artificial intelligence) and Purity is refining what humanity is through genetics and terraforming the alien world to be more Earth-like. There are Affinity victories, the old-y but a good-y domination victory and contact with another sentient alien lifeform offworld which sort of replaces the old diplomatic victory from regular Civ. The unit upgrades are the same through the first two affinity levels but start to diverge after that. Purity is all about heavy munitions, Harmony is about using the terrain and alien lifeforms and Supremacy is "tactical geometry" kind sounds like the Honor Policy track from Civ V with offensive and defensive bonuses based on unit positioning.
Hnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnggggggggggggggggggggggg. I want it now.

LAWL @ Titanfall The Final Hours
Stumpokapow
listen to the mad man
Jasec , post if you are okay !
Jase essentially cannot catch up fully while the people at the top of the list are still in the game--too many previously removed games are unavailable now. Same goes for anyone who would want to start collecting now. But he knows that. It's be a fools errand investing as much time and money into the racket and then falling prey to anxiety over things that can't be helped.
And 521 games wishlisted lol
Yeah, that seem to be it. I've been staying clear of EA/origin titles since Battlefield 3. I think Mirrors Edge 2 will be the difficult one to avoid as it's the only game of theirs that has me interested anymore
I never quite understood the reason for Origin, but that might be related with my lack of information to understand why. I do see, however lot's of older EA titles coming on sale every now and then and I can't imagine how many sales they are loosing with a game like Titanfall because some people will simply refuse to buy it if it's not on Steam. At first it seemed like some sort of "pride" from them, doing their own thing, creating their own path, etc, but they are a business company who likes money and I can't help to wonder how much money they could do with such game on Steam. There are games on Steam that requires Uplay and people still prefer do own it on Steam instead of buying the game from Uplay itself. PS: I'm not sure if this makes any sense, sorry if it doesn't.

But then he'll want his german skin, his russian skin, his limited edition skin...
It'll never end.
It makes sense and it's actually one of those things I usually debate with friends (also, extending to why publishers don't port games from console to PC).
The only possible reason I came out with is a super long term action, something like Microsoft pushing Xbox at a loss for years before actually being able to compete fairly with Sony (and Nintendo, before they changed their target).
Now, a digital delivery service costs way less than a console (planning, development, production, etc.) and it's relatively risk free, as matter of fact if they tomorrow realize it's a fail, they just need to up their games on Steam and call it a day.

"He used to collect games that have been removed from Steam. But now someone's trying to remove him from Steam."
~Tagline from a horror movie that will never get made
Origin only exists so they can have 100% of the money instead of having to give a cut to Valve. I'm not sure the trade-off in lowered sales from not being on Steam is worth it in the end though. I kind of doubt it.
Say what you want but I was hoping for a Steam release of Final Hours of Titanfall. Earlier today Keighley tweeted that it's now available on PC/Android/etc. but the PC release was Origin only so I passed, hoping for a Steam release. Really enjoyed every Final Hours so far and I doubt this will be any different.

Except that I imagine if it goes, it'll take everyone's games with it. EA seems more the type to pat you on the shoulder and tell you, "Hey, your library had a good run. We always said it could be nuked at any time, and now's that time." And I'm not really keen on seeing the money I sank into stuff like
offensively overpriced
You were hoping for a written documentary to be on Steam? Like, that was your first thought? You didn't want it to be on iTunes, Amazon, or whatever other ebook service?
Interesting.

Anyone play the Agarest series? Are they good games? Was wondering since Zero launches tomorrow and the discount pre-purchase price won't be an option much longer.
Short answer: no.
Long answer: lowest of the low when it comes to Japanese tactical games. They're popular on Steam only because there isn't anything else available.
Sigh, I really hope Squeenix puts out FFTactics sooner than later.
They already have high-resolution support and assets for the iPad version.
PC players have been shown to love tactical RPGs in the past. I see no reason why it wouldn't be a success.
