good things about ea/origin :)

[Snickerzz]

i can usually get around 2.4mb/s with origins servers (even now with everyone downloading stuff from the humble bundle im getting ~2mb/s)

mirrors edge

(assuming they dont mess it up) mirrors edge 2

live chat support is much faster than xboxs, i waited for an hour for xbox live chat support ._.

I think they've done quite a good job at the layout of Origin.

Bought the humble bundle and been rocking burnout paradise for hours.....its awesome, thanks EA! :P

Dice won't fuck it up. They know their games! Q3-Q4 and 2014 is gonna be AWESOME! :D

i like it, its not terrible, the only real problem i have with it is it doesnt have 2 step verification and it makes me have to have 2 programs for my games (origin and steam)

Origin was better at launch than Steam was at launch. There I said it.

Only place that has simcity online

Yay! A thread about how EA and Origin are good. That's a breath of fresh air. I really do like the responsiveness of Origin compared to Steam. I also think Origin seems to be laid out cleaner.

I prefer Origin's UI, but half the stuff is messed up, I also do love their fast download speeds :D

2.4 MB/s is pretty slow.

I Like the Origin UI way more then the Steam one and that they have an Intergrated Twitch.
I don't understand the hole hate about it.
It works,its stable and it has a nice clean look.
Its funny how EA did a better job with Origin them M$ with GFWL where they should be the ones supporting PC gaming the most.

No sales ;p and over priced DIGITAL (key word here...) games.

Apart from that Origin is an OK platform.

Except in Canada you can get steam gift cards but not origin ( 13 year olds don't have credit cards)

ic, never noticed lol

Well they don't have regular sales and only on certain select games :P

I only use origin for BF3 ;p which is another good thing about origin I guess, battlefield is awesum :P sucks they limit it to origin though.

[M-ursu]

Over Ethernet I get 6.5MB/s, one of my friends get's 6.5MB/s wirelessly from all the way across his house.

[Kuzma]

>_> I get faster speeds downloading on Origin (500KB/s compared to 450-380KB/s in ANYTHING else) but for some reason it keeps pausing.

[Pingypoker]

still faster than steam :P

 

I've peaked at 11MB/s on Steam.
