Titanfall requires Origin.

Because I was trying to at least make it palatable as an MMO. If we agree that it is ancient and not worth paying for once, much less for monthly we can safely exclude it from the conversation, can we not?

Are we now only including MMO games that you deem worthy?

Help me understand.
First it was non-F2P MMO games that didn't play like EVE.
Then it was subscription based MMO games that had an initial buying price.
Then it was MMO games that matched the content and quality of WoW.
Then it was MMO games that you like because you can arbitrarily throw out the games that you don't like (this happens numerous times).

Key point is: people will pay for a game without a singleplayer campaign. MMOs, more than one of them, are an example of this. Some MMOs require that you play monthly (FFXIV:ARR), others only charge you once (TSW). The thing to remember is that people will pay for a game even if they know that it has no singleplayer.

How many people will remain to be seen, in Titanfall's case.
 
Origin has always worked fine for me. At worst, it's a minor nuisance separating my library from Steam.

I used it for BF3/4, and Medal of Honor: Warfighter (for some reason). I'll use it for Titanfall, since I have to.

You're shifting my original point. A point which still stands, btw. The 1.0 MMO space is deader than a doornail because nobody has the capital or willpower or simply balls to go 1v1 with Blizzard.

I wasn't talking about paying for multiplayer-only games. I love multiplayer-only games. I pay for them all the time. I wish bf4 didn't waste any manpower on sp.

I was specifically talking about the 1.0 MMO market, and by extension Blizzard's ongoing dominance of it.

Titanfall on the other hand is an entirely different topic, is it not? Don't mistake my opinions of the MMO market as a statement about the viability of Titanfall, they're not.
 
People were expecting this on Steam? They would have been promoting it long ago like they did on Origin if it was...
Anyways, just need to add it as a shortcut on Steam and force the overlay and there you go!
 
Origin is perfectly fine. Doesn't have all the bells and whistles that Steam does regarding community features and the store sales, but it's a perfectly capable service. I don't know how anyone expected otherwise.

The game is published by EA so if you wanna get the game even on steam you're still buying an EA game

I have no issues at all with Origin. It alarms me those who are so polarized by Steam they are not open to alternatives.

When the alternative is objectively inferior, its publisher feels it necessary to make the content exclusive (which valve does not engage in), and continues to participate in myriad anti-consumer practices ... I'm not sure why you're so surprised
 
It's an EA published game, and they have already made it very clear that their PC games will only be available through Origin.

Also, Origin is alright. Don't really get all the hate.

But BF4 does not equal Titanfall. This game is pure unadulterated fun and the excuses not to get it are really weak.

Uh huh, I would rather not pay $15 every month for DLC "mappacks" just to play the current version. What's BF4 up to now? $30 worth of DLC after barely six months out the gate. So it's $90 just to use the damned thing now.

You'll see, EA will grind this franchise into a fine paste and sell you each particle.
 
We have single player only games that take less than 10 hours to complete released fairly often. I don't see the big issue with a full price multiplayer only game.
 
No surprise here. But anyone who has used Origin.. Knows it doesn't suck. And Valve does it with all there games too. Business is Business.
 
Origin is not games for windows or uplay. It's a nice piece of software now, people not buying the game because of origin..that's just silly

still campaign only. what about infamous,bioshock 1,etc?

All still pretty large, content filled games.

The point is, multiplayer only experiences are rarely ever $60, and some people are concerned on if there's enough content to justify that price.

Go look at the MGS: Ground Zeros thread if you want to see people bitch about a single player game being overpriced for what it looks to be. Maybe some folks are doing this, but not everyone is just picking on poor Titanfall because Xbox One/EA.

Edit: Holy shit, stand corrected. $80 for a multiplayer only game that may or may not be worth admission for various reasons. Most people would bitch about an $80 single player only, or hybrid, game as well.

Do you even have a point?

3 million people bought Gw2 based on it's initial and current high price. The fact the games price hasn't completely collapsed is a testament to it's relative popularity.

So yes people are more than willing to pay for multiplayer only games. God knows how many people bought D3 and that game required an Online connection even for it's single player.

Amalour was EA partners so there was a chance for this game too. Not everyone supports bad companies like EA.

Simply buying this game would be supporting EA so why are you in a Titanfall thread.

How does it cost a lot? Does skyrim cost a lot? $60 with no online.

Is Titanfall more like Syrim or more like DotA2 or perhaps Warhawk? You need to compare it to contemporary titles in a similar genre. And prices for games in its genre range from free to heavily discounted. The onus of justification for the higher than usual price tag is up to Titanfall. It's certainly well above the standard price tag for its genre. And it's no secret what EA is going to do to the game. That $60 is basically for the starter kit. Soon you'll be inundated with various add-ons and DLC that are going to quickly bring the price skyrocketing even further on up.
 
Oh no. So I'll have to move my mouse a centimeter to the right to launch the application that runs the game.

I don't know how I'm going to rise up and overcome this, but... I think I can look deep inside myself and find a way.
 
I don't have a problem with Origin. If I could minimise it to tray I wouldn't have a problem with Uplay either.

I just want all the other publishers to stop pretending and release their own clients too.
 
I was one to point to other EA Partners games and say that the game may not require Origin, but even so I can't say I'm surprised -- this is the first EAP game EA has thrown its weight behind, something I actually mentioned in the same breath as a caution to the contrary.
 
I don't have problem with origin. it serves its purpose without problems. I don't see the valid reason to hate it.

I mean, it is free, it is usable not being a resource hog. What exactly is its problem guys?
