Titanfall requires Origin.

Yay! Expected news is expected.

I don't mind at all as Origin isn't all that bad to be honest. Gives me an excuse to have it open now at least rather than sitting dormant for the odd time I play BF4. Plus Origins needs to continue with some form of support if not it will die and take all of its games with it like BF etc :p

There are literally people that won't buy the game because of this.

Yep proud to be one of them.

If someone wants to force me into installing something i don't want i show them middle finger.

I'm the customer here so if they want to get my money they have to come to platforms which i want to use.

Not like i cared much anyway after they told us there won't be any single player.
 
Do not understand the people b*tching about Origin. I remember people saying the same stuff about Steam on release and look where we are now - "I don't want any stupid DRM! I will only play games on my preferred DRM method because it's made by Valve!".

At least Origin doesn't update at 4kb/s like uPlay and seems to have decent download speeds. It's really hardly the worst thing out there and, if you think it is, you need to sort out your world view.

I'd prefer for everything to be on Steam just for convenience's sake, but I don't go around bemoaning Origin as the worst thing EA has ever done because of it.
 
I won't reinstall Origin after the SimCity debacle. No way.

Lol

Just consume guys.
 
For me personally, whilst I have games on Origin, I bought them months or even years after release. I like buying my games on Steam. I like going to the forums and reading actual impressions from users that haven't been money hatted to give a fair impression. I like the fact many devs appear on Steam forums to defend or even apologise for things we may not like. I like having my games in one place, all 572 of them. If I'm not sure about a game, I'll keep up to date on the forums for a week or two and get a much better impression as to whether it's for me, than any review can give me.

Not being on Steam, for me at least, means I will wait. I imagine many people are the same. It's not a question of "Haha, you won't buy a game on frontend A rather than frontend B". It's a question of "I won't buy a game without going through a process that tells me I want to play it". Steam makes that process easy.

Hardware fanboys aka video card fanboys or mouse fanboys or whatever, didnt bring tried and true console war bullshit to PC. Because of Valve and their virtual console we know have people that refuse to play a game even though they have the equipment to play it.

This made me lol. Some truth to it as well.
 
I didn't think this was big news either.

I mean, I really don't enjoy booting up Origin- but for EA published exclusives, I assume this is how it'll be always.

I wonder if they'll adopt the U-Play within Steam model in time.

Still looking forward to it. I mean why wouldn't I? I use shortcuts on my Desktop where I click on a game I want to play and then the game launches. It's pretty neat.

The moment they wanted to compete with steam was the moment they should have made sure the PC versions of their games were in tip-top shape which, from what i've seen, is not the case.

Total bullshit.

Which games have EA done a poor job of on PC?

There was a possibility that Titanfall will come to steam because it's EA partners published game.

Have grief.exe commented in this thread?
Click to expand...

That was never a possibility. It's an online game, it's not gonna use both Steamworks and Origin.
 
Origin region locks not only their store (Like steam), but they disallow me from purchasing games from other non-origin stores key sellers (Greenmangaming, Getgamesgo etc). With Steam on the otherhand, I have the option of paying $79 for the game on steam, or $35-$40 on Greenmangaming, or anywhere else.

So yeah...EA and Origin can go fuck themselves. I didn't buy BF4, I'm not going to be purchasing Titanfall, Dragon Age, new mass effect etc.
 
I'm not going to miss out on games just because they're exclusive to Origin. I do not prefer Origin, but it works fine.

And yet every Origin game I have was a 3rd party key ( including BF4 + Premium for £54)

And you can buy games on their regional store and play it on your main like all those guys who bought BF4 + Premium from the Mexican Origin store.

I hope this is a rethorical question. People how posted thousands of posts talking about the bf4 or simcity bullshit, for example.
Click to expand...

BF4 was broken on several platforms.

SimCity is an exclusive. It's not a PC version of anything.

When it comes to multiplats, EA always does right by the PC version.

Wrong. They've been hacked via EA services even if they haven't played fifa. It's happened across psn, xbl and pc all the same.
Click to expand...

No it's what I said. What you said makes no logical sense. Why would they be hacked by EA's service if they don't use it. Think that statement through. Fifa Ultimate teams is the reason why people get hacked because it allows hackers to withdraw money from the system it's not how people get hacked, there's numerous ways how that occurs.
 
no issues with origin. If you honestly thought there was even a slim chance this wasn't an origin game..then I don't know. I thought it was expected from announcement??
 
I think I'm right in saying that you don't even need to open Origin to play Origin games? I never open it to play The Sims.
 
i really don't care, i mean i prefer steam but if i was interested in the game i'd buy it. i see no reason why not. This whole "no steam, no sale" thing always baffled me, i can sort of understand it here but i see it on here when talking about non DRM games...

competition is fine.
