Gaming Will you install Origin because of the The Humble Origin Bundle

[ShadowSoldier]

Done.

I installed it for the 3 exclusive Humble deal games (I added the other 5 to Steam). Is it really so bad that people refuse to install it even if it allows them to play 3 'big name' games for a few pennies?

Yes. Hell, people expect perfection right away. I mean look at Steam, it wasn't the greatest at the start. It took a while. Even then, people still complain about it.

.....but all the proceeds are going to charity

I'm aware of that, but I'd rather donate to charity without giving any credit to EA.

 

[LockeCole_101629]

no

 

[Hells Malice]

I dragged the bar to make it all go to charity.

Steam does have an "Add non-steam game" feature for a reason.

Except the games require Origin to launch, it has to be running.
BF3 specifically is very anal about that. Not sure about the Sims, but who cares about the Sims.

Origin isn't half bad really. I only use it to play BF3, but they give a lot of free stuff at least (got BF 1942 for free, and the Close Quarters DLC too). Sure, they basically pale compared to Steam, Steam is better on all levels, but Origin isn't laggy or crappy in any way.

I would of course love BF3 on Steam, but it isn't going to happen, sadly, so I just live with it and use Origin. It's annoying and all, but BF3 makes it all sooooooooo worthwhile. Really, BF3, great game, everyone should play it!

Already had it installed, but I only run it when it's needed, like Battlefield 3, and now Dead Space 3.

Same here really. It's sad BF3 is on Origin, but k, it works and I cope with it. BF3 is worth it!

it just adds a shortcut, you still have to install and deal with origin to run the game

I actually already had most of the games in the bundle, but I bought it for Dead Space 1 + 3. I'll probably end up giving the rest of the keys away to friends.

 

[Originality]

Surprisingly enough, I didn't have any of the games in the bundle. Now I do. It can join ME3 in populating my Origin list!

I wonder if it will let me get both Origin and Steam codes...

You get both. I redeemed all codes that you can through both.

 

[ElYubiYubi]

Yes I will. Didn't have any of the games of the bundle and I just started on PC Gaming.

 

[impizkit]

Any guess as to what games will be added to the bundle next week? Hoping for Dead Space 2 so I have the whole lot. Always wanted to play them, but never got around to it. I dont want to buy 2, but will if I like the first.

Edit: Anyone have any steam codes they want to get rid of or trade?

 

[Danny600kill]

No, I got the bundle but only for the steam keys, I'll probably just give the Origin keys away.

There is no other reason than all of my other games are on Steam, as well as my friends ect. I don't see the need for a new place in which I can purchase and play games when Steam does everything I need it to, and has done for years

Sorry EA, you were a bit late ...

They usually add to these bundles (not the weekly bundle), my guess would be Dead Space 2 & possibly Crysis.

What Steam codes are you referring to, this bundle or any Steam codes?

 

[The Real Jdbye]

No, most of the games are available on Steam anyway.

Not steam codes from this bundle or any other humble bundle as I have them all. Just looking for new games that others may not want.
