Anyone play games on Origin?

Just reinstalled my Origins game platform. Been playing Titanfall 2 and Battlefield 4 on it.

Two great games although I still struggling with that side jumping and running along the walls BS in Titanfall.

Battlefield 4 is outstanding and reminds me of Medal Of Honor.

A little bit. My EA games on PC are via Origin. Now as a platform, it is pretty good and considering games are direct from EA they are well optimised, which can be a problem via Steam and their terrible tech service. The community is cool though and have received help through them.

The big difference is Origins online rule. Eff that.

Origin is pretty great, actually, you could argue it is the one thing EA has done really well for some time now.

It's kind of like that expensive bar you go to occasionally that always tries to be trendy; you really want to go there, you liked what it was back in the day, it's still good...but the drinks are too expensive and they keep changing their shit up for the worse. It's like "C'mon, Bar, stop trying so hard, let drinks be drinks and stop trying to get hipsters in."

I mostly rely on Steam, it's still the best and most stable DRM-Plattform by far when it comes to games. However, I also have a Origin-, Uplay- and Battle.net-Account. Not only because some titles are only available through Origin or Uplay but also because i like having all my franchises on the same Plattform: For example, I have all the Assassin's Creed-, Splinter Cell- and Far Cry-titles on my Uplay-Account and the Medal of Honor-, Command & Conquer-, Crysis- and Battlefield-series on Origin. Anyways, here's my Origin library:

- Battlefield 3, 4, Bad Company 2 and Hardline

- The complete Command & Conquer Collection

- Crysis 1, 2, 3 and Warhead

- Dead Space 1, 2 and 3

- Mass Effect 1, 2 and 3

- Medal of Honor 2010, Warfighter, Airborne and Pacific Assault

And that's how it's about to stay. I plan to get Battlefield 1 and Mass Effect Andromeda at some Point, but those will most likely be the last titles i get over Origin because compared to Steam, it's bullsh*t.

Experienced quite the opposite. Just wanted to buy the Medal of Honor Allied Assualt War Chest via Origin and it did not work because the Link in the store was broken. Contacted the customer Service twice, wasn't helpful at all. Then placed the Problem in the community forums where after 2 or 3 days finally an EA community Manager took notice and now they removed the title entirely from the store instead of fixing it. So yeah, the community is pretty okay, but to Steam's flawless purchase- and download-System, Origin doesn't hold a candle.

@vanilli: I'm not saying theres a download problem with Steam, I'm saying there is a gaming optimisation problem. I had KOTOR2 for example ,running fine on my old pc, on the new one, since the windows 10 update it isnt working and there are many others experiencing similar problems.

When I have to. It's a fine platform, if a bit slow. If EA had more games I liked I'd use Origin more without complaint. But I don't care for much of what they offer.

Origin is a ok launcher , it´s not steam but it works.

I play on Origin when I have to.

Not remotely interested in such games anymore, so no.

Steam games actually saved my gaming life from being dead and over just a few years ago

Well, I am on Steam most of the time. But yes, sometimes I play games on Origin as well.

After that EA bullshit, I didn't feel like going there...

@Enragedhydra: Again, go back to what I said originally, optimisation is the issue. Older games on Origin, because they are directly from EA, are properly optimised, whereas on Steam they dont have control over that. Regardless of it being a Valve issue or not, it is an advantage EA gave over them.

Plus, there was also a problem with Half Life 2, Portal et al optimisation which became quite a big issue and there were numerous online messages on how to fix it. So that was definitely a Valve problem.

I sort of use it, but only for on the house offers. I only spend money on it when I bought crysis 3 for 5 bucks and to try access for a month, which coincided with battlefront's "beta"

@Enragedhydra:

i‘m one of those weird people who only play singleplayer, even in games like the battlefield series. so i can‘t comment on the mp in hardline.

in case you are one of the few weird people like me who actually only care about the sp (even in bf) i can tell you that the sp in hardline is nothing amazing, but one of the better sp experiences in the bf series. Of course its shorter than a rat‘s penis again, but the move away from the standard military stuff towards this whole police and crime stuff is kind of refreshing. i enjoyed it a lot more than the absolutely mediocre sp in bf 4 at least.

so i‘d say if you can get it for 10 bucks or less, go for it dude.

The last game I played was Battlefront and that was purely out of necessity. If EA also released their games on Steam, I wouldn't touch it.
