PC wins again

>You know, steam works really really well.
>I KNOW! We'll make our own program so we can shove ads in their face!
And then no one used it!
wait, so this is like, you pay a sub and then all the games are free right
>>323695462
Considering the license agreement says they can basically spy on you and your computer at any time. No.
>>323696457
yeah all 5 of them!
>>323696457
No, you pay to pay.
There are no games. You just pay and kill yourself. You thought there would be an end, there is no end. Even death will not save you.
Seems pointless, you could just buy all interesting games from there for the same price that one year of that sub costs.
>>323695462
>trying to force console bullshit on PC
RIP in peace Origin.
>>323695462
>EA
Don't think so, nice try though.
>>323696753
same as the playstation thing, isn't it?
also,
>exposed to games you wouldn't normally play
>>323696628
You mean, just like steam?
>>323696628
it doesnt though, origin is shit but you dont need to lie about it
>>323696674
>don't pay for the ea origin shit because fuck EA
>die in a fire
>wake up in heaven
>big fucking origin logo on the gate
>wallet burnt to a crisp with the rest of my body
>can't buy premium games so I go to hell instead
>hell is just the free part of the origin store
This and EA access would be good value if the included the brand new games like need for speed and battlefront but they only include games that have been out for about a year.
That's not a terrible deal but I have no faith that they'll regularly add any games anyone hasn't already played but wants to that aren't $5 on sale.
Ok collection to start though if you aren't interested in DLC for those games or shit like Ultimate Team which this is clearly designed to sell.
>>323695656
But Steam shoves more ads in your face than Origin.
Also, have you registered your phone number with steam yet? Gabe reeeealy wants it.
>>323697030
As someone who has bought BF let me tell you, Battlefield is the better deal. Not that many players left on PC, on console it might be different.
>>323697419
>>323697419
Is Battlefield still popular?
>>323697379
how's that tinfoil hat of yours?
>>323697656
People still play fucking Bad company 2
"Not many players" left is still plenty. You won't have trouble finding a game, especially if you're okay playing on EU servers.
>>323697656
BF4 is going still very steady, it's easily the best the series has ever been after all those patches, and most people seem to agree if you read any BF threads in this sub. Can't see it getting dethroned unless 2243 is revealed to be something mindblowing.
>>323697379
you get ads once a day. And most people have a lot of money dumped in either steam games or items. Also the amount of steam accounts that get hacked or stolen is fucking amazing. So fuck you 2nd auth is just the way things are going. But you are a neet asshole that doesn't have a bank account.
>>323698446
>sub
>>323698446
>threads in this sub
>>323695656
They made Steam so they don't have to pay Valve every time they make a sale on PC.
>>323698763
Who hasn't just disabled those ads altogether?
>>323695462
>stealing ideas from sony

>>323697010
>wake up in heaven
>big fucking origin logo on the gate
>Lord British opens the gate
>Avatar...
It's not heaven
>>323699046
I like them so I know what's on sale since I don't go to the store page ever
>>323699210
butthurt much jimmy ?
>>323698446
BF4 is complete shit compared to even BF3 and I despise anyone that still plays it. Read pic related to find out everything that is wrong about that game.
>>323699542
nope
>>323698763
>trying to defend Valve
>by stating their user accounts get hacked/stolen constantly
>>323699710
I give you that BF3 had much better base game maps, but most of those points listed apply to BF3 even worse and listing Hardline's existence as a minus point for BF4 is just ridiculous.
>>323695462
Why would someone even use Origin
>>323699710
>fourth word is "dudebro"
>expects me to read any of that shit
>>323699973
My main gripes are the vehicle whores, how 90% of the servers are instant vehicle respawn, and how they completely ruined Rush. I had 300 hours logged on BF3, and I'd say 90% of that was playing Rush. I still can't get over how they butchered my favorite game mode just so vehicle campers could have maps better suited to them.
>>323695462
>EA tries to do a Netflix
Yeah, no.
I didn't want to pay Onlive a subscription even if they streamed the games directly to me and I could play AAA on my nettop.
No way I'll pay to feel obligated to install EA's spyware.
>>323700097
Because he's not a filthy a nigger and he wants to play games only found on Origin.
This isn't rocket science, son.
>>323700194
It was a post on 8ch where the the majority of the like one hundred people that still use it are massive weebs. I'll crop that one out of the picture though
>Origin
is that still a thing?
>>323695462
Could be cool if Origin actually had games.
The games they're offering are old, were already included in the humble bundle, or are just plain shit.
Now if Steam offered something like this, it would be a much bigger deal.
>>323695462
>EA
I'm confused, is this trying to trick me?
>5 bucks for 15 games
Is there any hidden fees or anything? This is EA after all.
>>323700659
If Valve did it you'd get access to hundreds of indie games that nobody in their right mind would want to play anyway.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=syPqNTmupvY
>>323700793
>monthly subscription
>>323701139
Good point. Single player games aren't really worth playing anyhow.
>>323700793
You do realize that when you stop paying 5$ a month, you lose access to all games?
>$5 a month for literally nothing
I'm genuinely tempted desu
If you have steam installed, you have no right to bitch about origin being intrusive or a botnet, because they do the exact same thing, as far as parsing your files and hardware.
Valve just has much better PR.
I only really ever used origin to launch BF4, and had absolutely 0 problems with it.
>>323701496
Better do it so that E3 guy doesn't commit suicide.
>>323701139
>he hasn't heard of steam cafe accounts
what a newfag
>>323700793
The hidden fee is obviously your soul.
>>323697379
Yeh, Gave phoned me personally asking me to upload some of the loli doujins I bought in Japan. He told me HL3 release date as a thank. GET HYPE FAGGOT, ITS THIS YEAR.
>>323701237
>multiplayer games are worth playing
Haha
>Origin
Why did they think it was a good idea? GOG has the "no DRM" thing going on but Origin is literally Steam with all the negatives and almost none of the positives.
>>323699067
>steaking ideas from nvidia ;^)
>>323701850
I give EA credit for not turning Origin into Facebook for ERPing autists like Valve has.
>>323701850
They thought it was a good idea because money.
>>323701768
Lead writer is gone, so who fucking cares?
>>323695462
but EA has no games, if they push for more ports of other games it may have some sense
>>323701991
Story is done anon.
>>323701850
What negatives? Origin runs way more efficiently than Steam. Steam is a fucking memory hog.
>>323701605
>>323701496
>>323695462
>origin is going to charge 4.99 a month
ITS HAPPENING
>>323701794
Yeah. They're the only games with real gameplay today. Plus, infinitely more challenging than grinding against predictable AI. The replay value also makes them the only games worth buying.
If I wanted a cinematic experience, I'd watch a movie.
>>323695462
expecting Games with Gold on PC next.
Subscription is much more predictable and reliable way of income.
>>323699889
Brb. Stretching boy.
>>323695462
EA becoming aggressive about Origin means Microsofts GFWL2.0 is near.
Prepare for paying to play your PC games online this summer.
>>323702260
>is much more predictable
sure, i predict thousand idiots signing up
>>323702260
it wont probably happen.The community threw a hiss about the mods fiasco.
The moment suscriptions are introduced in pc the internet will explode.
The day gaben dies the internetmwill collapse upon itself, imaine iwata multiplied by 44
>Origin starts a subscription for "free" games
>Becomes mandatory for online play
>Pushes PC gamers over the edge, no one uses Origin at all
>Console users have to pay for PS+/XBL AND Origin to play Battlefield
EA is stupid enough to do this, you know it
>>323702347
due to outrage it will just make steam bigger
>>323702226
enjoy getting rekt by 13 year olds with aimbots
>>323701547
Hating EA used to be reasonable and rational, with over-priced DLC, buying smaller studios then killing them, etc.
But they were never 100% devoid of good points. I quite enjoyed BC1/2 and Mirror's Edge.
Now hating EA is a just a popular thing to do so anything they touch is now literally satan and Valve are the "good guys" despite doing the same things.
>>323702347
>games for windows live 2
no please i have ptsd from the first one
jesus christ that was shit
>>323702516
it's not the same as mods. Valve and Beth tried to put free stuff behind paywall, oblivious to the modding scene.
5$ and you get 10 or so games with EA or 4-6 with PS+\XBLG. Humble bundle launched their own service. Don't want it? pay 60$ on launch or wait for sale.
Sony users straight out proud of PS+.
>>323702762
>implying 13 year old emelgeee players are playing BF
are you a retard? I heard about retarded people before and you seem to tick the boxes
>>323702260
They tried that with GFWL and it failed badly
People aren't gonna upgrade to Windows 10 just to play Killer Instinct either
>>323695462

Who the fuck cares?
>>323702950
no they didn't GFWL Gold was completely different thing.
Am I being trolled?
>>323702872
>Don't want it? pay 60$ on launch
come on, they WILL not let you play new games for free, no way
>>323697379
Haven't seen any ads on steam, tell me about tthem?
>>323695462
>PC gets xboxone previously exclusive feature
lol microsoft why keep digging that grave, just kill the xbox off right nao and give us halo pc
I'd care if they made good games.
>>323703059

>>323703098
>load steam

thats all the ads I have ever seen from steam
>>323703098
he is angry about video games "ads" on a video game store, can you imagine?
>>323697379
>>323700254
Then stop playing in retarded servers, most of the clan or whatever else are pretty well regulated to not have vehicle whores in them or retarded wolverine health regen
Seems like it's similar to PS+ but for PC games. As long as it's entirely optional I don't see a problem.
>>323703090
new 60$ AAA? no, they might slash the price by 10% or so or allow early access.
They do sometimes launch smaller 20-30$ games as a début with PS+\XBLG
Some games stay 60$ no matter how old, these games go to service.
>>323703098
You know those occasional pop-ups when you launch steam or close a game? Those.
You can disable them tho.Just like Origin.
>>323702921
>are you a retard? I heard about retarded people before and you seem to tick the boxes
whether they are 13 or 33, online multiplayer games are filled with cheating faggits
>>323703286
this thing is live on Xbox One. they just brought it to PC.
>>323695656
Yes, because not having competition would be so fantastic.
>>323703362
I rarely play bf and thats the only online shooter I ever play and I havent seen a single hacker yet. I know they exist but I just never see them
>>323703275
Is that really considered ads? The way i see it get relevant information that i'm actually interested in.
>>323697379

>Giving any company MORE personal data than necessary
why anon?
>>323703416
wait, xbox live has origin?
>>323703578
yes, it includes ads and update messages
>>323703728
EA access or something, it's a separate optional service.
>>323701150
I guess appealing to reddit isn't paying the Bills.
>>323703578
>The way i see it get relevant information that i'm actually interested in.
That's what targeted advertising is. Whether you like that information being catered to you or not, it's still advertising.
>>323703707
here is your (you)
>>323703729
But i want to see deals on games i'm interested in and that's what i get, to me it's a service.
If you do consider it ads it isn't harder than unticking that thing, something i deliberately haven't done because i want it.
>an entire generation of kiddos is being raised to think not owning your games is cool and letting some drm spyware company decide when you can and cant install them is ok

>>323703349
Didn't think those of ads.
>>323703208
The storefront counts?
>>323703245
That pretty much sums it up.
>>323702076
>What negatives
DRM
Losing access to the games when the service is down
Extra software, regardless of efficiency
>>323704060
no, you get EA Vault(EA games), early access to titles like Battlefield. I think they also give away some content for FIFA, so I think it made them billions
Here's all the current unlocked games you get for $4.99 a month. They'll probably add more later but so far it doesn't seem that bad.
>>323702347
>Playing EA games
Nope, as long as Steam is free we're safe
Or you could just buy BF4 and be done with it. Or just play BC2 instead
>>323704165
Oh wow
>>323699067
>Can't make console itself backwards compatable
>Make users pay twice to play games on PS4 and be forced to stream it.
>>323704106
Except PS+ is godlike unlike this EA shit.
>>323704259
Can't you buy Dead Space for that price on steam?
>>323704259
The only game i wanna test in that list is Inquisition, a third i have already, the rest i don't care about, i think i'll just wait until i can just straight up buy Inquisition for $5 on some sale.
>>323704259
>Dead Space 3
I might do it just to finally see how terrible this game actually was.
>>323704259
>own all 3 dead space for less than $10!
>>323704492
Probably, but if you're interested in any other games then you might as well do the 4.99 access thing.
>>323701547
>install steam

>>323697379
>angry about steam keeping you up to date with game releases

>>323704000
they have a row on the main store page now that lists all recent game updates
you don't need the popup ad anymore, which is 90% advertising now.
>>323704259
>mfw I own half these games already
>>323704259
>pay $30 and get the game forever
>pay $5 a month and have to rent the game
I don't get it. Maybe this is a good idea for shit like Battlebloomfieldduty, where a new iteration comes out every few months, but it's awful for other games.
>>323704534
Pirate it. EA/Bioshit haven't made a good game in years.
>>323704165
>Didn't think of a pop-up trying to sell you a product as an ad
How much Valve cock do you suck exactly?
>>323704259
>install a botnet
>pay monthly to play those fucking TERRIBLE casual games
Who the fuck would fall for this? EA shills are pathetic
>>323704762
there is like 2000 hours of games there
so if you were going to blast through all of it in less than a year then 5 dollars a month would be worth it (if you never played these)
>>323703557
origin is not competition. they sell only EA games
Why would anyone do this? They frequently have sales and I personally picked up BF4, Titanfall, and Sims 4 for less than $15 each before. This is absolute nonsense.
>>323704762
But when you pay that $30 you don't get to play the other 11+ games included, you only get that one.
It's nice for people who might like a lot of the games on the list. If you're only interested in one game, yes buying the game itself is probably better.
>>323704874
>botnet meme
>>>/g/
>>323704762
yeah but if you're just gonna play the game once and then never touch it again it's not bad.
>>323695656
Apart from the popup that takes a whole second to close, Origin does not really "shove" ads in your face. Moreover, sometimes those ads are for their "On the House" deals.
I don't like EA that much as it is kind of creatively bankrupt with the titles it releases, but Origin is not the worst thing in the world.
>>323704762
I actually believe it's quite an alright deal. For 5$ you could play the entire Dead Space franchise, for example, then just cancel your subscription again. These days I usually don't play most games for more than 10 or 15 hours, except for my absolute favorites, so if I hadn't played most of the games offered yet, I would just subscribe for a month, play a few games and then cancel and forget about it again.
Remember when renting things was okay and autists didn't scream and cry about it?
>>323695462
This would be great, if most of the games that they have available were not already discounted to 5 dollars or less, and the library were bigger than 2 1/2 rows.
this honestly seems like not a bad deal, you can basically pay $5 for any game on the list. the tradeoff is that you don't own it
it's not like the other way is going away, so i don't mind this at all
>>323705292
suck my cock slut
>>323704832
Might do that.
As far as EA games goes i'l looking forward to Mirror's Edge 2 and ME Andromeda and as far as my expectations of said games... i hope they are good but i expect mediocrity.
Seems like a cheaper and EA only version of gamefly. Doesn't look that bad desu
>>323705429
>epic games launcher
> how do we get people to use our software? I know, let's give them a free game that was reviewed very well and release it later on other markets, guaranteeing a loyal fan base for the times to come

How do we get people to use our software? I know, let's take our games off our competitors markets and only offer them here for console prices! Also lets not give any incentives to a consumer base that already hates us!
EA may not be the evil company everyone loves to make them out to be, but they are nothing short of retarded when it comes to marketing. All we needed on release is a couple of games or promos for cheap games that are years old. Now they are moving to the fucking Adobe price model, and I honestly don't know what's worse
>>323705849
they give away free games each month.
Shit I thought that the whole origin library would be free if you pay this monthlee sub .
But instead you just get 10% off for all games and you can play few days before actual release

>Get about one set of ads
Yeah, sure
>>323705849
Origin gives away a couple free games every so often in a similar fasion to PS+ or XBL.
Also Orign brought some life back to BF1942 for a while.
>>323705849
>How do we get people to use our software?
They give out quite a few games for free. Granted it's not new release $60 games, but still.
>Now they are moving to the fucking Adobe price model
I mean you can still buy the games regularly. It's not like the games they have are locked behind a $4.99 a month paywall or anything. This is completely optional from what I'm seeing.
>>323695462
>fucking Netflix for games
>probably stream games, requiring always-online
>probably still pay full price for DLC, but like the game, you don't own the shit
>EA/Origin
>I dub the "the streaming Jew"
Yeah... PC wins NOT for that reason. It'll never be for that reason.
>>323706209
thats the same as Origin though.
>>323705292
I never really liked rentals, and it was mostly only okay then because that was the cheapest and easiest way to get shit at the time. Nowadays, there's not really any point in renting when a lot of shit is cheap enough to keep permanently, not to mention more reason to keep them permanently.
>>323695462
Do you get battlefield 4 with all expansions?
>>323706473
Well, at least steam has more games
>>323704921
And Steam is the only platform where you can buy Valve games. It's also the only platform where a bunch of other games can be purchased.
EA didn't want to be bound by Valve so they made their own distribution platform. It's the same reason why Ubisoft made UPlay.
>>323701912
Yeah nvidia make it first!
>>323704862
Not him, but I just close those as soon as they pop up and have done so for years, and I couldn't remember them either
>>323706476
I suppose it differs from person to person, because I don't mind renting games at all. The games I'm really looking forward to each year I want to buy, of course, but those are only a few.
Most games these days I play once and then never touch again. I'll probably never install 80% of my Steam library ever again, so if renting those games would have been cheaper than buying, I might as well just have done that instead.
>>323706741

>>323710603
yeah I'm sure they'll just let you have a discount on basically ever game that will ever be on pc
>>323704259
if they add battlefront they can have my five dollars for one month. Literally no other reason to sub to this shit. Battlefield is ded
Congrats origin
It only took you 5 fucking years to not be garbage
>>323711598

Microshit is killing the industry again, fucking morons.
PSA for those thinking of getting it: DLC is not included
>>323706679
>It's the same reason Ubisoft made Uplay
Except Ubi are ten times more retarded since they still release their games on steam thus being "limited" by valve and at the same time forcind that crapware down evreyone's throats for absolutely no reason. I crack all the Ubi games I buy and i should probably just pirate them.
>>323711598
BF4 is alive, 3 and Hardline are dead.
I can see it now

Dead Space 3 was alright but it's definitely the weakest game in the series.
One one of the creepiest parts is when you reach the ship that has the big ass door they shut to quarantine all of the Necromorphs.
It has all of these messages written on it to the people that didn't make it out in time, like "FORIVE US" and shit.

I have EA Access on Xbox One already, I don't think it's a terrible deal and it makes sense for EA to try and get people playing the last years (or year before) sports game to try and hook them.
I mean, you can scream 'boo EA' or whatever, but dollar to hour entertainment; if you play a lot, it's not bad at all.
>>323715131
