I still wont buy anything from EA. They're forcing shit games out from devs now. TOR is horrible. DA2 was a giant turd. ME3 was a below average Gears of War with an absolute shite ending. Dead space 2 and 3 are crap.
I'd rather download EA titles than pay for them. I'll save my money for publishers/devs that deserve it, like indie games and CD Project RED. Oh, and those lovely steam sales.

It is not that it is that it will take a lot more then this to redeem themselves. They have only done this good stuff in the last 2 or so months. That is not nearly enough to make up for the previous Decade of some of the most underhanded business practices in years.Lur-King said:
However I do see they are making an effort so I will let up on them for now. But if they do a 180 and another shitty thing comes out of them they will forever lose all trust.
AH-H....wait...*rereads* oh...So....they reduced the cost of a lot of older DLC and took away online passes for some of their games. Okay...I read that wrong, and came to the wrong conclusion. it doesn't really help me any as for the games on that list that I own I already paid for the extra stuff. But hey it's a...good? Decent? thing for them to do...I'm sorry just putting the words good and decent near EA feels like I'm trying to divide by Zero.
Actually notice how it all changed with the change of CEO. you know, when the guy that ran EA back when EA was AWESOME started running it again. at first i was worried but it seems that the old EA is slowly creeping back in, which is awesome.Lur-King said:
Though we should never extra service before a system bug. especially with no comment stuff.
Capcha: First world
yes, first world problems, screw you capcha from the second world.
What about DS3 co-op mode?
You know what tho? I never thought I'd utter these words, but EA get a little kudos. Sim City was a disaster, DS3 a massive let down and Origin is still a constant pain. But it would be remiss not to at least acknowledge a step in the right direction.
If they give up on Origin exclusivity, I might even be able to buy their games again.

This. Maybe they realised that posting about how none of it is their fault and that costumers were meanies for being disappointed in their many failures was probably not gonna cut it.Osaka117 said:
It's a start. I'm waiting for their sincerity to extend to their more "recent" titles like Battlefield 3 and Mass Effect 3, and the new ones they're producing now.
A few more moves like this and I will feel like I can give EA my money for Mass Effect. Keep up the good work. I've wanted to buy that series for ages but did not feel they deserved it.
However, does it still need to have origin installed? If so that is still a dealbreaker for me. Although thanks for the heads up that is semi-good news.Lur-King said:
Just looked on steam and talked with friends who own a copy. Both state nothing about Origin being involved.GAunderrated said:However, does it still need to have origin installed? If so that is still a dealbreaker for me. Although thanks for the heads up that is semi-good news.Lur-King said:
Finally I can play my Evil Character in Mass Effect 2 with the extra bits and bobs I wanted. Not sure if the Dragon Age pass is even vaguely worth getting, but it's a nice thing to do. Now to try and squeeze them onto my pitifully small Xbox hard drive....
Well I'll be damned, I may actually give EA some of my business for the first time in a few years. Thanks again for the update. I would have never cared enough to research it on my own. lolLur-King said:Just looked on steam and talked with friends who own a copy.

You know, this actually came around at a perfect time for me. I just recently got Dragon Age 2 as a way of balancing out my utter frustration and ire towards Halo 4. Now I can have some extra items, the chance to change my characters appearance should I be unhappy with it, and now my Hawke has a sweet hound. All for free. I won't complain at all, I think its great.
However, given the uproar over the Xbox One (Which I can understand), I can't help but feel like this is the Game Industry trying to... Maybe balance the scales somewhat? Some really shitty news came out, so to kind of soften the blow, hey, EA is changing things up in a good way, have some now-free DLC.
Let's just hope it doesn't stop there. Legacy or Mark of the Assassin next, perhaps?
