Surprisingly, I've heard good things about Origin so far. That's what initially turned me off about Battlefield 3, after unpleasant experiences with EA's prior download services/systems/policies. The game itself looks good. Right now I can't justify the expense. Were it to stumble onto Steam in a few months with a price cut that's all-too-common for months-old games, say perhaps $30, I will grab it then.

I've picked it up, playing through the campaign, its the generic America blows up the middle east garbage, with a tinge of evil russians, so hardly original.

 

Haven't played multi yet since the beta a few weeks ago, so I'll be doing that maybe next week. Need more free time dammit! :(

 

Origin feels like a cheap version of steam, if they really want to compete they're going to have to up their game EA.

Agreed with Origin feeling like a cheap knock off of Steam. They will have to improve it to compete. I keep getting asked if I want to sync my cloud data for BF3 and it's getting annoying :P Multiplayer is a blast but my video card is old, it makes it REALLY laggy.

Right....... $30 USD is the lowest price to buy BF3 for this Black Friday. The last store I have read that is selling it is Fry's Electronics but it might be applying to video game consoles only. Not sure about Amazon though.

 

I still want Starcraft II for at least $30 to be a reasonable deal if it does have a sale price someplace.

 

But no matter what, I won't be buying an EA game using Origin with its hidden DRM.

Act of Valor

 

Apparently this is possible if you are a North American citizen. However, EA is lenient with the IP thing so there's an alternate easy method to acquire it if you really like it for fun, basically declaring you are a US citizen on your EA account.

Go into the link below, watch the movie trailer and get 5 free dog tags unlocked! Hooah!

There's also Dr. Pepper's promotion but its difficult as its for US citizens only and this time round, it tracks your IP when you tried to acquire their free bunch of Dr. Peppers dog tags to ensure you are legitimate US citizen.

 

See you in the battlefield!

Dr Pepper

 

Don't forget to unlock free stuff from Dr Pepper. Exclusive for US citizens. (another way to go around is you can ask friends who are in US at the moment to help you.)

For those US citizens, this offer is until the end of this year(12/31/2011)! So don't miss out the free unlocks!

6 unlocks in total, 1 set of free multi-player skin, 5 exclusive dog tags.

So for those who have it right now: is it worth getting this minute, or should I wait for a price drop?

It all depends how much you want to play it. Ranking up in multiplayer is pretty time consuming FYI.

 

Anyways, Back To Karkand is OUT!!!
