are you stupid
hit PC then the type of game[/QUOTE]
yeah i sorry that they don't have a big list of PC games instead of this bullshit genre list only
anyways i found the big list, it's a TINY button
I got a game but how do I download it? It says I ordered it and its direct download but I can't download it on the page.

Install Origin?
When it says [B]direct[/B] pc download I didn't think origin download.
This is why buying from digital download services fucks you over, because they can take away what you own at anytime
Origin's servers are getting slammed, this must have hit r/gaming frontpage.
[QUOTE=manian112;38023703]That's quite a pain, trying to remember all the account names and passwords, changing your accounts whenever you want to play something else and shit like that.[/QUOTE]
I just added 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 etc to the end of my account name, and used the same password. :v:

It was on the front page of /v/ a few minutes ago.
yep I can confirm that this stopped working for my account where I used it twice
oh well I got Simcity 4 and fuckin' BF2142, hope some servers for it are still up
I'm starting to feel as if EA did this only so they could get people to join Origin. I mean this code shouldn't be working anymore, it's as if they want this to happen.
Looks like it might be the end. I got the code to work and show it discounted for $0.00, but at final check out the price is full again.
Drat.
Sims 3 is 29$ but this is a 20$ coupon
what2do
Look for a better and cheaper game?
[QUOTE=DaWhatTheFox;38024189]Look for a better and cheaper game?[/QUOTE]
I've already set out that if I wanted a "Fuck around game free" it might as well be the sims
Wanted to get the C&C ultimate collection but oh well. 30 euros isn't a bad price anyway.
Well, I hope EA enjoys the loss of potential prophet. (Meaning from people who actually use Origins.)
is origin seriously this bad
search the sims
it shows Need for Speed and a bunch of terrible DLC that costs more than the game itself
[QUOTE=J!NX;38024269]is origin seriously this bad

Origins is the least user friendly online gaming service out there. I have had a friend who got Origins just for BF3 and he got fucked over many times trying to work Origins.

I bet they lost a lot of prophets, and messengers too.
Interesting how they do not sell The Sims 2 on Origin.

goddammit all I want to do is burn homes down
is that really that hard to ask for origin
apparently you cant find sims 2, NOPE! they have 2000 different DLC's that cost like 20-40 bucks though
Yea, Origin is just so bad when it comes to searching games.
Search a game, you'll end up with 80+ results and won't find the game itself. That, and for some reason they include XBOX, PS3 and PC versions of the same game as seperate items on the search resulsts list (when you visit the page, you can choose which platform you want there). It's just really bad.

check out this rant I made in a different thread
[QUOTE][B]Holy shit origin is bad[/B]
like literally I thought it wasn't that bad and everyone was just bandwagon bashing but in the process of trying to get a free game I had to make an account because it didn't recognize my EA one (even though it claimed it did and said my e-mail was already registered), then downloaded the app which crashed every time I tried to use a dropdown menu, then I tried buying something from the site which was localized against my desires to Spain Spanish and had half the links redirect me to the main page, then when trying to buy RA3 it prompted me for a purchase method (which had only one option, digital) and then it prompted me for a language, none of which were English (but it had Russian, Spanish, Czech, Portuguese...) and I was informed by a friend that it'd be a pain in the ass to change it to English after a Spanish install. [I]The other RA3 game doesn't have this issue.[/I]
[I]Then the website crashed, and it refused to start back up.[/I]

I think it just gives every result for all of the words.
rofl seriously
it's [B][B][B][B]so [/B][/B][/B][/B]much more slow than steam on a summer sale

Yeah, it annoys me how pricey the DLC for Sims 3 is. More than the actual game. I just want Pets to add something that should have been there in the first place.
