How big is the dick on that guy to be able to say that Origin is going to bigger than Steam with a straight face? Holy shit man, dude must be built like freaking moose.
EA Wants "To Be 90 Plus Metacritic at Everything"
- Thread starter The Wooster
- Start date
1) Metacritic is fucking terrible and should not be used at all. AT ALL.
2) You won't ever beat Steam, because Origin is a buggy clusterfuck still. I'm still lucky if any of my friends actually show online to join me in ME3 MP, when I physically know they are online since I'm on Skype with them.
3) I love the "Gabe finally mentioned us!" logic, despite his comment being a flagrant insult.
4) The MySpace vs Facebook arguement is the exact reason why Origin is awful. People switched to Facebook because it was a far superior platform for social networking. They didn't switch to fucking Geocities, which is basically what Origin is now. A defunct mess.

Anecdotal evidence makes everything true, right? By that logic, my use of offline mode on a daily basis (my ISP is unreliable as hell) means I'm right and you're wrong. At least it would if the world worked that way. Offline mode works, it's just not flawless, which nothing is.animehermit said:
I find it funny that I've completely forgot Metacritic even existed, until EA (and IGN) brought it up.Zachary Amaranth said:
Let me put this into perspective:
Capcom is evil because their stupid.
Activision is evil because it's business.
Nintendo is evil because their consoles print money.
Square Enix is evil because their ignorant.
EA is evil because THEY LIKE IT.
Ea, is the only company that willingly accepts and embraces their blatant maliciousness. Now they think arbitrary numbers determine the quality of a video game?! that's crazy.

your asking entirely to much of EA.Charli said:
in ether regard really .....
OT:
'90+ on meta critic'
i loled, no way EA can pull that off, not with the 'meh at best' games they turn out
And those of you that hate how the game industry uses Metacritic as its "success thermometer," please remember that the next time some politician tries to tell you about the quality of our education system by yammering about "standardized test scores."Grey Carter said:

I guess there are kinks to straighten out.animehermit said:
Personally I have never had any problem - if I start Steam without an internet connection, it will pop up a requester asking whether to continue in offline mode and that has been that.
Only titles that I have been unable to run at such times are those that require some sort of connection to any additional authenticator, on top of from Steam, such as the EA network, for the Dragon Age games and Mass Effect 2.
The difference is Valve treat their source of income with dignity and fairness.
Users choose Steam over Origin for more reasons than just features.
It's just a nicer place to be. :/

Unfortunately it never works like you'd think it should for me - I have to go offline whilst I'm still online to get into offline mode when I start up Steam again without an internet connection. Most frustrating, and seriously reduces the entire point. Would be nice if they could fix it so it does what it implies it should (and it's always silly frustrating when you click 'star offline' and it bounces back an error saying 'Unable to connect to Steam'. Well DUH!)Somebloke said:
Dear EA:
You are not Facebook to Valves Myspace. You are Google+ to Steams Facebook. Except you are way shittier then Facebooks business, and Valve is even friendlier then Google. You expect to break Steams huge momentum by being WORSE, and you show not even an inkling of knowing what direction to go. There is no reason for anyone, investor, consumer, or employee, to believe that you are competition. Now give up, put your games back on Steam where they make more money, and deal with one aspect of the video game business that you can't seem to understand for the life of you before you jump into another aspect (Digital Distribution) in which you know even less.

If your connection is spotty, try going into offline mode when your connection is still good, and turning off your computer while its still in offline mode. I find that, though not completely devoid of problems, I run into much fewer problems. I reliably used steam for several months with no internet connection at all that way. Its a weak point definately, but going into offline mode before you need to be offline seems to significantly mitigate the problem.Wicky_42 said:

Dear God, it's like EA is trying to outdo every single evil, bullshit thing every other company does.
Random EA manager - "Blizzard-Activision puts a level cap on new purchases of Diablo 3 for the first three days? Well hell, we can do better! Let's lock new players out of their games entirely for the first day or two!"
Keep it classy EA. Keep it classy. (and fire DeMartini. The guy's either a complete idiot or a colossal douche-bag. Either way, whenever he speaks he makes you look worse.)
