If this wasn't Origin only I would play it.

Seriously, what makes Origin any worse than any other digital distribution platform? Other than it is Electronic Arts, but then you probably shouldn't buy it because it's being published by them.

I've had nothing but headaches with the Origin client. Maybe it's my setup but when I was trying to play through Dead Space 3 it would bump me out at weird times. Maybe it's my dual monitor setup or multiple hard drives or something I can't think of but when I open that client my computer bugs out in weird ways. It's either Steam or no overhead client at all when it comes to PC games for me.

The problem with that logic of EA's is almost everyone hates them and their "service" and being forced to use their service is actually a deterrent for many potential customers. So yeah they're actually decreasing their sales and thus their profit by keeping a game strictly available for play using one service. Their own greed ironically costing them money as usual.

We don't know that for sure though. The amount of money gained per sale might be enough to augment the people that don't want to install origin. I can almost guarantee though that if someone really wanted to play the game installing one more client isn't going to stop them.

@tehjedicake: Gamefly? That's what I did.

Also lol at the people who won't get this because EA IS THE DEVIL, as if that really matters. It's going to sell a ton regardless, and a few hundred people won't make much of a difference.

And if you're so lazy that you can't stand hitting another icon to bring up Origin, holy fucking christ. My main problem is that I just forget about the games I have on Origin and Uplay. Blacklist remains barely-played.

@lukenuk3m: it opened like 5 pop ups and tried to get me to fill out a bunch of surveys and such and nothing actually changed anything. might not have actually installed anything but it did not look safe that's for sure.

I'm not getting my hopes up but I really hope that the 360 version runs well. I'm gonna hold off on buying it until I hear whether it's functional or not.
