i would be interested in this if they have like, a single game for a dollar a month. or bundles for $5/month. something like that.

 

one thing i thought was funny about their CURRENT xbox sub service, speculating on how the pc version COULD be:

 

EA Access gives Xbox One users the opportunity to play games like "Dragon Age: Inquisition", "Titanfall", etc. for no additional cost and the players can have the games in their vault and play them whenever they desire.

 

 

no freaking way... whenever i desire? so its like buying the games only, you pay monthly forever?! lol just had to. keep on diggin EA

This could end up being a really good deal for EA drones that play everything they release as soon as it comes out, which is probably who this is aimed at because our community is an extremely small minority of gamers when compared with the "mainstream".

[KemoKa]

I ain't going anywhere near that shit. Because EA. Ain't holding up with any of their shenanigans.

Fuck EA.

battlefield 4 is freaking great... when it works. its been almost two years i think ??? maybe more. and the game still crashes here and there.

[Albatross]

EA being EA.

[SPAS-ID]

i bought BF4 i play it only for like 1 week

You know what they should do is take a percentage away from your monthly fee and put it towards one of the games or at least prioritize them which you get to choose so eventually you will own something.

You need to include a summary of the article in your post.

And nope, I wish these publishers would stop being greedy as Sholes and using proprietary software, it only hurts the consumer.

Edit: I'm just going to leave that typo in, thanks auto correct for making me puritan with cursing.

i could be wrong, but the quote i used did give a slight summary of how ridiculous the notion of paying monthly for unlimited access to select games is. i also implied that, this could be what they are (EA) is proposing, though the article isnt very specific as i dont think they even know for sure what the details will be. and also left room, as the forum rules state, for you to read the full article.

I'm interested. But would have to see what games would be available. If they somehow combine this with the existing Xbox one deal for a low price I would definitely be in.

funny thing is... i play BF4 on PS4.... i was like "this close" to buying it for PC too (to play with a couple of guys i know around da world). But, ultimatly what made me not buy it for PC was just what you mentioned... bugs, crashes and another element of shitloads of balance updates..

on the PS4, updates are less frequent so the bugs that exist do "last longer", but the game hasnt really crashed a lot since like, when it came out...

Also, less hackers on consoles cuz its more of a hassle to crack games and install cheats...

I'd rather put a Corsair CX PSU in my rig and risk an antimatter explosion than let EA filth on my PC.

What's wrong with Corsair PSUs?

 

 

As for the actual OP I hope game subscriptions never catch on. I still rather own stuff then having to pay a fee every so often and not being able to randomly reinstall a decade old game every now and then.

What's wrong with Corsair PSUs?

not sure..... been running a CX750m for 2 years now with no problems....

Exactly. I have a Corsair PSU (probably CX750 or something like that) and it's been running perfectly fine for about 2-3 years too.

Except at least on consoles you dont get games at launch, you get them like 6 months after release

People around here hate Corsair's CX/CS lines with the fury of a thousand suns because there's a Chinese-made capacitor or two in there or something.

 

To be fair, Corsair's more recent PSU product series have gone down a bit in quality versus how good the Seasonic-based TX/HX units were a few years ago. They still get generally good reviews.

nothing wrong with them. Just overpriced for what you get.

EA Access is neat for trying out games a head of time. I used it to check out DA Inq and that convinced me to pre-order and buy the game. If it was on the PC I'd do the same for some games. Buy it for a month, check out the early access game, cancel the service until something else I'm interested in pops up.

Haven't encounter any crashes in 2 years . Ran great on phenom 965/550ti ,965/R290 . Runs buttery smooth with 4770k/R290 everything maxed out and downsampling from 2k.

 

Never had any issues . Especially now when netcode is better than BF3.

 

I highly suggest to check out if You haven't - Origin let's you test the game for week for free.

[You_are_a_cunt]

No DLC for the new NFS -> EA doing something right for once.

 

Then this happens.

 

Fuckin' EA -.-

70 euros for 500W is overpriced?

Well, it depends on what other 500 Watt units that €70 could buy instead. I have no idea what pricing is like in Estonia, maybe they're the best deal available.

There are others available, but 70 euros for a good quality semi-modular 80+ Bronze 500W PSU is generally a good deal here.

fml.... I don't even have the motivation to explain why this sucks ass
