Hey gang,

Hopefully this is clear from the info Chris, Derek and Jessica posted today - but I'll just repeat it for clarity. I'm seeing a bit of dismay about "having to buy bf3 to get the early demo", which is not the case.  To recap:

- the demo will be both singleplayer and multiplayer.
- the single player portion is available to everyone on day one of the demo.
- if you are a BF3 owner who has redeemed online pass, you will have early access to the multiplayer section.  This works across platforms because it is based on your EA account. So if you buy BF3 on PC, yes you can play the MP demo early on xbox 360 (as an example).
- as the FAQ states - there are other, fairly painless and *no purchase required* ways for you guys to get the early access as well (and maybe some other goodies...). We just aren't ready to roll that out until ~ early Dec.  Stay tuned, it should be pretty fun. I hope!  And no, it's not limited to X-hundred people or anything like that. You'll see.
- and the demo will be spectacular :)

Spread the word, stay positive, talk to you later!

Regards

Jarrett

Right on. Appreciated.

this isn't a beta, its a demo.

also to those complaining about EA, they kinda own bioware and this is an easy way to get other people interested in teh game thereby increasing sales and increasing the funding BW gets for future projects.


Well I'm one sentence away from showing EA and Bioware the middle finger and not buying their games anymore.

"ME3 will require Origin to play."

To which I say, "Really? That was to be expected, but really? I switched over to PC (rebuying both games and DLC) and then you ****** in my face. No, I'm done."

Yea, way to tell off Bioware huh?

Then why are you still posting here?


You won't buy any Bioware games?
Then get out of here.


Otherwise you're just a troll or whiner that whines for the sake of whining that will most certainly still buy the game.

It's funny, I used to say the same thing to people like me, but seeing things from the otherside I know I won't just blindly buy ME3. Trust me, I want to, but I will most certainly not if Origin has anything to do with it.

I have a right to voice my displeasure, just as you have to voice your praise. It was not praise that made changes from ME to ME2. It was complaints. If it weren't for people voiceing their displeasure with something nothing would change. So before you write me off as a troll or a whiner take a look in the mirror, we have all complained, just because someone doesn't agree with you doesn't mean you should brush them off.

Good man. I HATE Origin too, damn spyware.


Yeah, if this requires Origin to play, then count me out. I'll happily pay for a videogame, but not malware.

I have a few issues with going back to the 360 version. I don't have my playthroughs that I have on PC. If I go back then I wasted the money I spent to switch from 360 to PC. Also PC is my prefered system, and ME1 runs so much better on PC.

The only plus side is playing with all my friends over xbox live.

I realize that; I'm just saying you have a last-minute alternative, should you ever require it. Also, if I'm not mistaken, there is a way you can convert PC save files to Xbox save files (and vice versa) through Gibbed or some similar software. Some people on this forum have done it.

There's a difference between complaining about something and "I WON'T BUY THE GAME IF X IS NOT REMOVED!!!!".

That's my problem.
Way you're showing your displeasure is very childish
.


And there's nothing to suggest you'll need Origin for physical copies of ME3 and you'll need it on entire time with Digital version.
Look at The Old Republic for that.
You need Origin just to install Digital version for TOR.

I understand that my comment can be taken that way, but I don't mean it to be childish. All I'm saying is if Origin is needed for any part of this game I will not buy it. I would buy a physical copy, if that doesn't require it in any way.  It may sound childish, I get that. I've openly said similar things to people over the inclusion of Multiplayer. That is a stupid reason not to buy the game. However, I'm sure you've heard all the stories about Origin and should easily be able to understand this is different. I'd never not buy a game without a good reason. Mass Effect is one of my favorite series but that won't stop me from standing up for what I believe is wrong.

Thanks, I'll refer back to this if needed. It'd be very interesting to be playing ME1 and 2 on PC then convert them to xbox and play ME3 on there, as much as I'd rather it be on PC.

Well either you don't know anything about Origin or you don't care. You can look into that yourself, if you decide to care.

Oh, I'm well-aware. And I have my own deeply-held opinions on the matter. I just don't really discuss them much -- and I certainly wouldn't stick around here if I felt as highly offended by it as you do. My original point was that you're, by your own admission, 'one step from not buying anything from BioWare' or whatever it was. If you're living that close to the edge then you're very dissatisfied. It stands to reason that you should stand by your conviction and step away entirely. For your own good.

Myself, I'll say this and only this regarding Origin -- I'm not thrilled. Not at all. But as a console gamer and one who is very, very satisfied with what he's seen otherwise from the company and from ME3, I'll gladly give them my $80 for the 360 edition.

I've said this before. Mass Effect is one of my favorite series, I'd gladly give them my money, but one sentence can ruin it. I'm not disatisfied with the game, but the "service". The reason I say Bioware as a whole is because if one game requires it then they most likely all will after.

It is still voicing an oppioon. Where on earth do you think he should do it so someone might actually take note. Not that EA Bioware would care ... but still. Calling somethinge childish and trollening just because you don't agree to it ... is weird.
Just because one person disagrees with a specific part of a game does not mean they don't like the game perse, just that certrain things are too high a barrier for this game ... what the future brings who knows.
Any argument that tries to discretied something by calling it "Fanboyish" or "trollish" is in my book not valid one way or the other, regardless of that content

Comapring TOR with ME3 for the requirement is just ignoring things. TOR doesn't need Origin for DRM methods as an MMO itself is the DRM. BF3 will require Orgine and so will ME3 regardless of what people want / wish / or believe to the contraty. it just wouldn't make sense.

a) EA wants to push Orgine, What better way to do that with some of the most highly anticipated games
B) ME3 requires some form of DRM , if people like it or not, it will have it. Therefore it is thye most logical thing to use Orgine for that as well instead of using a 3rd party DRM methode. IN the end it would work just like Steamworks ... not too manyt people complain about that.
d) there are plenty of games that you can buy off-line and stull need to have Steamworks (and a Steam account) install. There is no principle dofference between Orgine and Steam ... at least not in their aims.
c) combining a), b)and c)  makes Origine inevidable for DRM usage and that's the only reason why you'd need to let it ruyn in the background (be it offline mode or not).

Anything else is just trying to ignore the most likely thing just as much as some people did about the posibility of MP when it was officially just a rumour.

I find the way how he expresses it is childish. And BSN is full of them.

Is that as in as early as the rest of the soon to be announced methods to accuire the demo.

Or should it be read as earlier, e.g "this way you will get the goodies the fastest"? :mellow:

Jesus Christ.

I did not call his opinion childish.

2 whole different things.
