Origin sales everything under £5 on selectable games!!!

I did have a look.. but anything I would buy I already own (Crysis, Battlefield, ME series etc). Not keen on EAs approach these days so I am considering a boycott anyway

Tempted by Crysis 2 ME, but I'm not in a rush for it so might just wait for another steam sale.

Syntax error.

DCS A10-C for anyone who was waiting for it, don't need to install it on origin, just use the key and upgrade to DCS world!

Just look at all those devalued IP's - I bet EA will have something to say about this sale; considering how opposed they are to devaluing IP's with cheap sales a'la Steam.

Wait - Origin, you say? Oh.

Hypocrites.

None of the games are worth more than £5.

Glad it's not just me that thought this lol.

Screw Origin, not even entertaining the idea.

Guys, hating on Origin is SO last year

Nice, thanks for the link, going to pick up Kingdoms of Amalur

Ninja_Ferret · 24 Jan 2013 at 23:09

Pity I have every game I want from there

kthula666 · 25 Jan 2013 at 00:58

yeah nothing there that I dont want/have already

SheepBeast · 25 Jan 2013 at 02:48

**** origin tbh

*Rich* · 25 Jan 2013 at 07:38

Don't want to cause argument, but what is so bad about origin for you guys?

I personally don't find it too bad at all. Uplay on the other hand is terrible.

I like Origin, had no issues with it compared to Steam, which seems to come on it's premenstrual cycle once a month.

Tombo · 25 Jan 2013 at 08:05

I don't mind Origin at all but it just doesn't offer me any reason to use it over Steam.

OzZie · 25 Jan 2013 at 10:52

My gripe with Origin is the severe lack of security. Otherwise, i find it ok to be fair. Had it not been for Battlefield 3 however, i wouldn't have opted to use it.

Good few deals, but i'll pass on this one.

LeJosh · 25 Jan 2013 at 13:55

Only thing worth buying there is DCS:A-10C Warthog.

Well apart fom it being another games client, not overly bothered with Origin. I don't think its anywhere near what Steam is, even when Steam was in its early days.

Origin to me is like any other app I guess, you need it sometimes but i'd prefer not to use it. I have to use Windows as nearly all my games need Windows to run, I need Origin as I needed it to play BF3.

I also got a copy of Crysis 2, Fifa 13 and Burnout Paradise (got this for free) on Origin so I do have some games for Origin but like I say, not a client or platform I'd use unless I really needed to..

Wasn't it EA who said sales are not good for PC gamers as it devalues games? When they had a pop at Steam for their frequent sales? Hmmm anyhow, this sale isn't much good TBH not a lot there, so nothing I'd buy that i've not got, or might have got if it was on Steam - maybe.

Dunno, as someone has mentioned.

Remember that?
I use origin, but it doesn't stop those behind it being complete morons, two faced and for all their business expertise; too stupid to see what sales can do.
