DJ aka GDR DJ Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 The new game Battlefield 3 not of Steam !!! EA has now been announced on his Forum: BF 3 is not over Steam to obtain for info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artisan Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Origin is EA's Steam wanna-be. I had to install it to download the BF3 Alpha. Edit: Agreed with BM.. We added eachother on Origin (EA's software) to play BF3 (EA's game) and adding eachother on Origin was pointless... Needed to add on the specific BF3 website, wtf?

SEGA Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 I think it would be better this way, steam has so many issues :| Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TulsaGeoff Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 It's pretty lame how you cannot remove a game from your steam account, and sell it like any other game on any other platform. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoosterCogburn Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Last I heard you will be able to get BF3 from steam after it has been released. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-=Medic=- Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 It won't bother me to be honest I don't like to have my games working only with steam, for me personally the only benefit is to have the games and data always in the cloud, if you ever wanna install them back... no need for DVD anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nordwolf Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 I've always preferred retail; actually 'owning a copy'. I don't mind it if a game gets bound to your account, but having to download like 7 gb or more for a game isn't funny. I do have some Steam 'exclusive' (no retail) games and thank god there's a backup option so I have a virtual dvd of them, just in case of a reinstall About BF3, might get it, but will choose for retail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kladkakan Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Retail still uses Origin to run it, f*** this. Steam is way better, Origin is a bad copy of Steam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nordwolf Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 I'm reading Origin will not be mandatory, so that's good news. But others saying you do need it.. However I will stick to the good news EDIT: Might wanna make that bad news: http://twitter.com/#!/zh1nt0/status/100413594096779264 No idea how official this is since I don't have Twitter and the site looks weird, but it's twitter.com, so..
