Preorder ME3 on Origin - Get free BF3

[CaptainOctopus]

Pre-order one "rpg"shooter that will disappoint you and get another one for free that already has, no thanks ^_^.

Also EA didn't ruin my life but they sure as hell ruin Bioware, Dice, Westwood, Bullfrog, Maxis, Crytek and pretty much every game company the last 20years they ever manage to suck into their big slime mouth, the greedy bloodsucking parasites that they are. Furthermore EA supported SOPA & PIPA, this alone is a reason for them to go fuck themselves and stick their sorry excuse for an online service up their arsehole.

No, EA. That's not enough incentive for me to buy it from you. Maybe if you let us link our Steam account with Origin and had everything bought on Steam show up on Origin and vice-versa (as long as it's available on both). Do that and I might consider signing up with you.

EA games do show up on Origin if you bought them on Steam though, my copy of Alice Madness Returns I bought on the Steam Christmas sale can be downloaded and activated through Origins, so I guess thats one half of the battle.

Good thing you people haven't forgotten westwood, I agree with you 110% fuck EA.

I see someone is trying to cost everyone else their day. Won't work on me, given I've read that article before months ago.

What the fuck are you talking about? I seriously don't know. I simply used that guy's exact argument for another situation to show how fucking stupid it was.

Where the hell do you see free BF3 with ME3 pre-order? You're a confused young man. Here are all the pre-order items: http://store.origin.com/store/eaemea/en_IE/html/pbPage.mass-effect-3-IE/

"ORIGIN PRE-ORDER OFFER DETAILS
Prepare to enter the battle! Instructions on how to redeem your bonus PC Digital Download copy of Battlefield 3? will be sent to you via email when Mass Effect? 3 is released."

Thank you for posting that Lost.

Jensen, I linked it in my OP. Its at the top of the screen when you click the link. It works like this: read THEN respond.

Funny. Seeing the same three archetypes:

#1: Cool I'm interested in this / do not want but cool for those who do.
#2: Origin is an AI intent on killing me and assuming my identity conspiracy theorists
#3: MASS EFFECT 3 SUCKS!!!!! (Irrelevant to the discussion we're having here but thanks for your input)

Look I know some of you don't like Origin. I'm not going to tell you that you should run right out and download it. I'm just telling you that the cognitive dissonance involved in vocally hating origin and it's data gathering policies while at the same time continuing to use google, facebook, itunes and steam is baffling.

Tempting, gonna go over their User Agreement again to see if it's been changed yet, some people have told me as much but I never cared to check before since BF3 stopped being a big thing for me.

EA could offer to send a pretty girl over to my house to suck my cock every day for a year and i still wouldn't go anywhere near origin.

It doesn't help that they're being all 'fuck the other 90% of the world, USA is the only one that matters'.

 

[baarserik]

It's a nice incentive i suppose, but i personally wont be touching origin with a 10 foot pole. Also, i've already ordered mass effect 3 for the Xbox, so there is that

That doesn't sound like a bad deal. Although I'm getting the console version of ME3, so it won't matter to me.

Yep, EA officially thinks ME3 is a shooter franchise.

No way around it now. Fucking idiots ruined Mass Effect.

You use guns in the Mass Effect games. Doesn't that qualify them as shooters? You use GUNS to SHOOT things.

As for the people here who insist on not buying it just because it's on Origin, I'll bet at least half of you will crack when it comes out. It happened to the L4D2 boycotters.

Spoiler

That's what buying used is for (and the reason I still own a console). ME is not a multiplayer series to me so if EA has some DRM on that I won't miss out.

 

[Josh123914]

Hmm, tempting, but let down by the fact that anyone that would have wanted Battlefield 3 would have bought it over the Christmas period, and that any fans of Mass Effect that didn't think the game was bad would already have it to get early multiplayer access AND that most people would prefer to go to other recognized retailers to buy it (for instance, over here in the UK, I bought the Collectors Edition at GAME and from what I can tell, will get almost every pre-order item available bar an Origin exclusive shotgun or something) instead of a service that (to many gamers) may or may not contain spyware.

 

[Xerosch]

Hmm... reminds me a lottle bit of EA's tactics before the launch of 'Dragon Age 2'. Remember the avalanche of free stuff they threw at you if you pre-ordered?

Though I admit I have Mass Effect 3 pre-ordered for the 360 and haven't played the demo. Maybe the learned from DA2?

 

[Hawgh]

Still requires Origin. Not buying it.

Hell's bells people will complain either way it turns out.

"Waaaah! Origin has no sales! They have no incentive to use it!"

Pre-order ME3 and get this amazing game we made!

"Waaaaah! ME3 is ruined forever because they want to give me a free game! Boo frikkity hoo!"

Hell's fucking bells man.

 

[Sylveria]

So now you can get two games that EA may spontaneously ban you from if you say mean things about them or curse on the internet.

 

[Keava]

Some people are just.... amazing to not use other words. A company gives You something for free and yet You still manage to come up with crap-tons of reasons to complain. Seriously? You want to be treated like customers with that attitude? Gamers truly are the whiniest bunch.

Pre Order Mass Effect 3 through Gamersgate and get Dragon Age:Origins for free (UK/EU)

well you shoot shit, yes it is a third person shooter -___-
(with an amazing detailed story etc etc)

 

[Plinglebob]

If this offer comes to the UK I'll bite the bullet and pre-order from EA. If not, I'll just grab it from Tesco at the RRP on release day.

Bringing this to everyone's attention: It's US only. Anyone else gets shafted on this deal.

Your avatar is suited very well to that statement.
