Origin is required for all PC editions of Mass Effect 3

Quote :: It looks like EA won’t be putting Mass Effect 3 on Steam, just like they did with Battlefield 3, as it is Origin only. Origin is EA’s new digital distribution service for the PC platform.
You may be wondering why it’s not on Steam. Well, this is what EA’s explanation is:
Steam has adopted a set of restrictive terms of service which limit how developers interact with customers to deliver patches and other downloadable content.
We are intent on providing Mass Effect to players with the best possible experience no matter where they purchase or play their game, and are happy to partner with any download service that does not restrict our ability to connect directly with our consumers.

"best possible experience no matter where they purchase or play their game"

Half of the freaking time the shit doesnt work. It would have been fine if it did. But it doesnt.

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL.

fuck you EA.

Meh. I doubt i will be buying it straight away

If Origin wasn't spyware people wouldn't have a problem with it. Why the fuck do they think it's OK to scan your hard drive? That should be illegal.

I remember when EA did this with Red Alert 3 and used GameSpy. It was terrible.

Good thing I'm getting it on PS3.

As for me, I'll definetely Pirate it, unless BioWare grows a brain and removes Origin from it.

No 360? WHAT ABOUT THE PREVIOUS CHOICES FROM ME1 and ME2?

He has ME2 on PS3 too, and I think the Interactive Comic lets you make the choices from ME1.

Its most likely that EA is telling BioWare to use Origin without letting them have a say.

Anyways since I don't have a super awesome computer. I'll have to get it for the consoles. I love BioWare btw.

EA really wants to take the joy out of one of the most anticipated games this year, don't they?

So the 360 version will be the best. All choices from ME1+ME2 and no spyware

I disagree.

The Trey version is the best. ME1 choices + ME2 choices and no spyware OR Kinect....and it's on blu-ray.

It's irrelevant most of your ME1 and ME2 choices won't mean shit anyways.

Also you gotta take into account that ME3 alone is 60 bucks....On the 360 you have to pay extra for things like AA batteries for controllers. If I plan to spend hundreds of hours playing ME3, I don't want to spend all that money on batteries. Luckily I won't have to on the superior Trey version.

Yeah but you've gotta consider the free buttsecks that 360 fans get from Microsoft, which really balances out the cost of the games and such.
