I fancy snapping up mass effect 3 but i'm not sure if I should given all the outrage over it's ending. Thought?

knowing about it makes it a lot more paletteable and with the DLC its poor but passable.

Get it

I've just had a look at the Secret World forums and there aren't any of the usual posts on an MMO's forums complaining about the state of the game. Just lots of posts saying how surprised they are at how enjoyable the game is. Now, this could be because all the people who tried it and didn't enjoy it left ages ago never to return, but it was nice seeing the vocal minority for the game was positive rather than negative.
I also found out that it doesn't matter which server you pick as you can group across servers anyway. Gonna try it and if it's crap it's only £12.50 gone.

Ive played it over the last few days on the trial someone gave me. I ended up buying the full game it just now (took about 30 minutes with the lag on origin right now). The first map is great and its a different experience to other mmos. Then again its made by the same people as Conan, which was also very good in the first map (Tortage) but got dull after that. For £12.49 im willing to give it a go.
I could probably send you a trial but I have no idea where to find the keys.

It's ok thanks, I've done the weekend trials and enjoyed it. Hopefully I can apply the game to the trial account and carry on where I left off.

Wow

I wouldn't have expected it to be that high so quickly.

The secret world for me was 40gigs! having a 128gb ssd i had to uninstall it not long after playing. Seemed ok though didnt expect to be fighting a town full of zombies.

Even when Origin holds sales, it usually ends up cheaper on play-sc.

It keeps up the quality, but the difficulty also ramps up by the time you hit the third map (blue mountains). You have to start thinking seriously about your mix of skills at that point - like having openers that hinder, and follow up skills that crit if the target is hindered, sort of thing.

Bought Dead Space 3 and Mass Effect for £25 with 20% quidco cashback that's only £20

kmax86 · 20 Mar 2013 at 19:53

is there a complete list on what games u can use the 20% topcashback?
planning on buying crysis 3 but couldnt find it in the description

V4NT0M · 20 Mar 2013 at 20:09

Have edited my original post, cashback should be for all games and purchases by using quidco, topcashback should be the same.

GTRacer · 20 Mar 2013 at 21:28

Blah, all of the ME3 DLC I want (Citadel and Omega mostly) isn't actually available in the store proper so you have to buy undiscounted BioWare points. What a convoluted system.

Payday on Monday 25th...so that'll be Secret World grabbed then if its still on sale

Sorry but i'm not buying any more games that use Origin until:

a) They release something that isn't utter crap.
b) They actually make the thing as fast and useful as Steam.

For me I would have to add that they need to include some actual competitive prices in their sale.

Hmm is BF3 Prem worth it? Played the normal game to death on xbox but I burnt myself out by the time i upgraded my rig to run it...

AndyT · 21 Mar 2013 at 00:51

Bought crysis for 20 squid. Graphics are insane, almost too good. There is so much detail it's impossible to focus on things.

MissChief · 21 Mar 2013 at 01:47

And the sale ends the day before payday. EA Fail.

A. BF3? Crysis 3? ME Trilogy?
B. 3GB speed for me. 2 on Steam.

Don't forget 20% cashback on Quidco and Top Cashback I think

Definitely going to get Dead Space 3 and maybe give ME a try at about £5, why not.

Totality said:
Battlefield 3 for 5 GBP (equivalent) is awesome so I have picked up a copy. Always wanted to give it a go so for that price it is rude not to (even though I have read it is full of micro transaction rubbish at least a cheap price means I dont care)

Can you use both Quidco & Top Cashback at the same time, If so how? (not used either before)

As BF3 is on for £9.99 atm, so I wondered how Totality got it for ~£5

Delbert · 21 Mar 2013 at 07:41

Wow... AC3 Deluxe Edition £35 ????
Just goes to show what a great deal it was on Steam at the weekend.
