This game is sounding like a let down. Thanks for ruining that for me too. :eek:

Totally agree with Mike about Origin though. No idea wtf is up with that.. let's just hope ME3 won't be an Origin exclusive title. That'd be scandalous.


All future EA games are going to origin as far as im aware, im sure EA mentioned this at E3 this year. So yeah unfortunately you'll have to install Origin


Doesn't look like I'll be playing TOR or BF3 any time soon then. Origin breaches privacy almost as badly as Facebook.

Unless they shape and turn the data taps off I won't be taking part.

Figures EA would turn completely anal at some point, they just need putting down. :)

You can buy a physical copy of the game and not use their Origin service.


I thought EA was using Origin to activate all copies of BF3, storebought or otherwise?

free to play in the MMO world isn't a sign of failure, the fact is wow is a monster and eats up alot of the subscription that people will pay for a MMO, by offering the free to play you are basically allowing them to pay for more content if they want to etc.. its a clever business model since nothing has come close to stealing wow's thunder...

And you can bitch all you want about wow, but the fact is, it a solid MMO that gets it right, great end game to keep people, a solid pvp setup with good balance across the board etc.... thats why MMO's aspire to wow so much.

Dont give me the guild wars 2 crap either, yes it looks fantastic but its a completely different type of game, it doesn't even use the trinity of classes ( which is good to have something different )

Homefront LOL
And yeah, Portal 2 was absolutely amazing, but I'm not sure if I want to categorise it as a FPS... there's kinda not much shooting going on there. Oh and I forgot about bulletstorm - haven't played it myself, but a lot of people with fairly refined tastes said it was a good game. But yeah, the FPS genre has been honestly a bit lackluster ever since consolification kicked in a few years ago.

Crysis 2 wasn't bad, but it wasn't particularly good either imo... rather mediocre at best. Speaking of which, I don't actually remember the last time I played a really good FPS - maybe L4D2?

well for me portal 2 was like the only really decent thing in like past year or so. even then its not even the real fps :P
then notice how many fps were hyped?
brink, homefront, fear 3 crysis 2 etc.. really average games or... duke nukem forever. mega failure.
then again dont we have the same in every genre...

one good game from every genre every year.
most hyped games being crap, a few good ones, some 'old franchise revival' most of times being complete failure. normal year i guess.

mmos being a bit difficult to determine. some die in one month, others become f2p after a few months or one year.
a lot of games look really great during the development period...

I only played a little bit of Crysis one. Interesting concept, but not my cup of tea.

I'm disappointed in EA for shoving this Origin nonsense down people's throats with BF3. At least if you buy it via their silly little service they give you a free copy of Mass Effect 2, Dead Space 2 or MoH. But still, BOW DOWN TO STEAM OKAY.

I'm really interested on TOR's storyline and I bet they are developing game mechanics even further at next expansion packs...

EA consistently bring out quality titles

no. nfs you speak of is still shitty since nfs u2. carbon being the only good title since then in terms of style and soundtrack... while the game has to have good gameplay lol. shift being an odd title (like lolwtf an arcade title trying to be realistic and failing at that lol).
sports titles? you mean like football when there is only one other good game on the market? PES? which cant buy all the licenses thanks to EA monopolism? lol. and thats like the only feature preventing PES from becoming the best football game hands down? xD Quote:
They are doing really good sport games, but when those games have seen any real development... Except adding new players, teams... etc

zero.
less development than sims countless expansions.

End of the day KOTOR and KOTOR2 were great, so we know that bioware can take the SW universe forward and do it justice at the same time

we also know that bioware can put countless of pointless content in their game just to make it longer and bigger.

End of the day yes it's been overhyped but by god its the most expensive game ever to me made.. i would market the shit outta it aswell!

its like talking about AVATAR.
countless money spent, countless time spent... and you get an entity with no soul whatsoever.
and i would market the shit out of it as well if that was my job, but... that doesnt automatically make the game perfect or even averagely good does it?

Come on any major publisher or game designer has a few turkeys but EA consistently bring out quality titles, Their sports franchises are by far the best in the genre across the board, NFS has got better of late, dragon age 2 was a bit of a turkey but i like i say we can forgive, mass effect, mass effect 2, Battlefield, All these games are quality titles.


Quality titles due to Bioware, Digital Illusions CE and ...etc

EA is just a big bad company who wants our money... *sniifs*

Serious note on EA Sports, They are doing really good sport games, but when those games have seen any real development... Except adding new players, teams... etc

yeah, watched the latest videos and they are amazingly bad.
sad how many people are getting fooled tbh.

the game looks in pre-alpha state when the first screenshots should be revealed. sadly its close to release lmao.

as masta said:

QFT

I wonder how many of you people would be even remotely interested in this game if it didn't have the SW theme.

you might add 'but its made by bioware' element to that as well.
tbh these days its important to stay aware that companies can and will use their good company name and excessive advertisement and hyping to sell mediocre products. EA is one of the leaders of this crap.

the only major company that keeps their quality and good level is probably valve. blizzard... not sure, not as excited about diablo 3 as i was some time ago, but we shall see.

biowares change of game development direction was quite obvious for quite a few titles now.

I would, tbh. But I wouldn't be AS excited for it. The SWKOTOR thing is what makes it so appealing.
