Mass Effect 3 PC will require Orgin
- Thread starter DustyDrB
- Start date
Not surprised, and won't change my opinion of the game. Definately going to buy and play ME3. Origin is already running Bad Company 2, Dragon Age: Origins, Dragon Age 2, Battlefield 3 and Old Republic. So far not a single negative effect on my gaming or PC use.
How many percent of the people complaining about Origin being "spyware" you wanna bet use Steam, Facebook, Twitter and the likes? Because those guys sure don't ever look at your personal information, amirite?
Get off your damn soapboxes you sad scaremongering hypocritical knee-jerks. "I'M NOW GOING TO GO ON FACEBOOK AND COMPLAIN ABOUT HOW ORIGIN IS SPYWARE - WHILE THE FOLKS BEHIND FACEBOOK STARE AT MY NAME, PHOTO, PHONE NUMBER, ADRESS, EMAIL ADRESS, FRIENDS, FAMILY, WORKPLACE, HOBBIES, PETS, INTERESTS ETC ETC.
Yeeeaah...
Stay classy, internet!

Eh, its another service, so I don't really see the big deal. Though I'd really prefer to have all my games on one service ( I'm OCD like that)
Assuming that their troubles with Steam and DLC weren't just a pretext to fling poop, they could even make the DLC Origin-exclusive: the die-hard fans will switch to get it and they'll still make money from everyone who buys the game through Steam, even if they keep it vanilla.Adam Jensen said:
I have three playthroughs with part 1, six with part 2. All on the PC. I made three goddamn backups of all my save games so that I can continue on with all my characters in part three. They could literally add Steam, Origin, SecuROM, Games for Windows Live and some actual computer viruses to the copy of the game and I would still buy it. I have invested too much time into what I consider the greatest video game story ever told.
In short: I really don't give a fuck and people are overreacting to Origin's 'spyware' WAY too much.

Grass grows, birds fly, sun shines and brotha'? People overreact to Origin.
They seem to want to paint Steam in a negative light though but isn't that a given with their competitors? First MW3 when BF3 was their thing now Steam when Origin is.
ME3 being not available on Steam is them giving their new platform incentive to be used. Like console exclusives only far less inconvenient than buying an entire new system to play it. The only non-hate founded criticism for it that carries weight WAS the spyware thing and that was remedied months ago to be even with Steam's level.
Won't stop people from willfully ignoring that though.

Looking at the Origin store, I see alot of EA published games. I see what's going on here.
EA, I like you but I do enjoy freedom as well you know. If I can root Origin out of ME3 then I will do so unless you give me a good reason why I can't get a hard copy.

I dislike having to have another program open--as I already run Steam more or less 24/7--but Origin doesn't bother me all that much in and of itself. It's well designed and looks nice, at least.
I won't be purchasing Mass Effect 3, however, because of the way they took the franchise after the first in the series. I won't go into it because we've all heard the arguments before and we're all sick of them.

And you know what that means? It means they are fully aware that people hate Origin, so they couldn't risk losing buyers for a game that took them a lot of money to make. They know that Origin sucks, yet they are forcing it on us. So the question now is, why would I use a service so bad that even their creators know how bad it is?DustyDrB said:
