I've never played BF3, but I've heard great things about it. Is it worth installing Origin? :P

Depends, does the opportunity to get free presumably good games outweigh some of the dubious business practices EA as a whole partakes in? If the answer to that question is yes for you, then by all means go for it :p

That it true, you can get better deals for Battlefield 3 Premium if you look around. That being said, the free version is a good free taster before taking it a step further and getting Battlefield 3 Premium or Battlefield 4. :yay:

Nooooo

Noo

BF4 on PC is still a clusterfuck of bugs and glitches, even after all the patches. Lol.

It's the original full game, just no DLC maps or anything. Online play and everything is included.

People like to get buttmad when a company has more interests in money than the consumer, AKA literally every company ever. I think at some point there was some bullshit "ORIGIN SPIES ON YOU OMG" fear mongering or something and people still think it does, despite there being no proof that it was ever a thing.


I honestly think people who take a company's business practice as personal insults is absolutely silly, but hey...people.

Honestly, my only gripe with Origin is having to deal with yet another game manager. But heck, it's a free former retail-priced game. Can't say no to that.

I have other gripes with EA, but this isn't the place to talk about that, now is it?

It's literally the same paranoia as with the Kinect. Origin is just a "worse" Steam, that's all there is to it.

    That's a relief to hear. Do you know what happened?
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, Any idea what happened? I hope that your brother's doing good.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    Well, from what I've heard from my parents, he had a seizure last night, perhaps an epileptic episode, fucking died, had a near death experience, my dad called the paramedics, they showed up, took him to the hospital, and he woke up covered in tubes, and started complaining.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    He couldn't eat until after his MRI, when he had a bomb pop.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    What matters now is that he's doing alright.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But you still don't know what it was?
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Has he had seizures before?
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
