Hi.

 

I have had yet another bad experience with Origin.

 

I bought Titanfall for PC to try it out and of course it requires Origin.

 

I go to launch Origin to register the game and Origin's servers are down.

 

Seriously, the one time I want to do it your f**king servers are down!

 

Oh well, that's why we have Steam.

 

Let me know what you think, Alpha.

Well, I played the Titanfall Beta once and I didn't have any trouble. However I have not used origin since then so that about sums it up, I think.

Origin's servers or do you actually mean Titanfall's servers? Because Origin is working just fine for me. And Steam isn't perfect...far from it, actually.

 

Anyways, I like Origin a lot. My only problem with it is that it lacks a large library of games.

It's improved tons! Plus ea gives a free game each month without any extra cost. They recently gave out most wanted 2012 and they also have really good support

HP Pavilion p007tx (i5 4210u, gt840m, 8GB DDR3 memory and a 1 TB HDD that makes cool sounds when booting up) 

Since my laptop can't run modern games too well I use a PS4

The Origin client is perfect for what they need, my only qualm with EA is that their games need to be fleshed out more and they need to get rid of Battelog for their Battlefield games. They really need to support community features more like community servers, server browsers, custom game modes, etc.

 

But the client isn't a nuisance at all and they have sales pretty regularly for their games. Also their customer support is top notch.

 

I don't think I have had an issue with the client or their services at all. Battlelog is my only real gripe.

I mean Origin's servers. It wasn't working but I haven't checked since yesterday. I do prefer Steam, it's just a bit more open-sourced and I have like 80 games on it. Find me on Steam at steamcommunity.com/id/AlphaGamer46
