New Humble Bundle - Origin

[Jason]

Cool, I'm glad I held out on playing Dead Space 3 cause i just got it for a dolla, so far worth that dolla. I'll eventually replay Mirrors Edge and I'll probably play some medal of honor at some point, being that I own that shit now anyway.

For all the people complaining, at least it isn't the fucking PewDiePie Bundle.

I actually like this bundle more than the Origin bundle. Mostly because the only game I own in that one is Thomas was Alone.

On a completely separate note, first person to PM me gets a free Thomas was Alone steam key

[Neelpos]

I have free keys for whoever PM's me for the following games.

Steam:
Mirror's Edge

Origin:
Dead Space
Burnout Paradise: Ultimate Box
Crysis 2 Maximum Edition
Medal of Honor
Mirror's Edge

As of today, yes it is.

Neelpos is the greatest.

And on Burnout Paradise, apparently, the issue is with Win7 and the webcam drivers. Running in WinXP SP3 compatibility mode and completely uninstalling the webcam software should fix those issues, respectively. However, it didn't work for me. Here is the in-depth fix guide.

If you can get it to work, it's excellent. It was the only thing I played on my 360 for about 9 months.

I have to download Origin, that immediately makes it terrible.

-snip snip-

though using it right now the downloading and patching isnt as smooth as things go on Steam but it's not literally Hitler

I'm one of the people who actually has a problem with Origin, as in it doesn't work on my PC for some reason. Everything just crashes constantly. Uplay works better than Origin for me right now.

I have an extra copy of Medal of Honor and Battlefield 3 for whomever wants it. PM me.

Principally, I'm against having more than one PC game DRM service on my computer, and since that one service is the almighty Steam, it just makes Origin appear even more frivolous by comparison.

EA has also cultivated an incredibly competitive and territorial mindset with their games where they'll only release their newest games on Origin now, which is just an entirely undeserved stance of perceived quality and pride coming from them. They want to be heavy hitters like Steam with their Origin service, but they've done nothing until now to warrant any kind of good faith or loyalty, and even then, they effectively had to take what amounts to a bullet in the chest for them with this bundle to get people to consider using Origin.

I agree with this, I don't like the idea behind Origin, mainly because Steam exists. But Origin on it's own, seems fine at what it's trying to be. I find it nice and quick.

[Erickarkos]

I caved and bought it, couldn't resist. So anyways I have a few games to give away now \o/

Steam:
Mirror's Edge

Origin:
Mirror's Edge
Battlefield 3
Dead Space
Burnout
Crysis 2
Medal of Honor

Just PM me for them.

[Grndslmhttr3]

Bought that shit. I probably won't play any of the games but whatever.

[Haymakers9th]

god the sims has been pissing me off.
i can't even get in the game itself before it starts throwing microtransaction bullshit at me, I sit through 4 different loading screens before I'm actually doing anything, and then it continues to dangle microtrasaction stuff throughout the whole game. choosing a neighborhood to live in, 80% of the list is stuff I can buy with simcoins. Making a sim, pay-for cosmetic options are at the top of the list.

I haven't sat down with it long enough to actually do any simming so maybe it gets better.

[Lad Stankfoot]

Two new things just got added to the bundle today: Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 - Uprising and Populous, both of which you get only by paying above the average. (That's $4.84 right now.)

Bought it, now I can download cracks for those games legally, right?
Props to EA for doing this, but fuck origin / microtransactions.
