The only thing bad about origins is that their sales are horrendous, but at least they started giving out free poo poo, which is cool. I still haven't bought the last ME3 dlc because it's like $20 or something ridiculous which is more than I paid for the full game.

In my experience, Uplay has given me no problems and Origin has been kind of rear end

Then again I am just a sample size of one so that is ultimately meaningless

Uplay is the one thing preventing me from playing From Dust, which I was enjoying quite a bit. Uplay loving crashes and is a piece of unnecessary poo poo and I hate it and want it to DIE!

This. I've never personally experienced a uPlay problem, but I know people who have and I avoid any game that uses it.

Yeah. Without Uplay they'd just be normal paid DLC. It's nice that you can at least get some of that for free.

DLC weapons and stuff almost always just make the game worse anyway.... who theh gently caress wants an exclusive DLC/preorder Rare Mega Gun or whatever when its just gonna destroy the normal difficulty/progression when you start.... chumps, that's who

It's not always stuff that effects progression

Usually it's just skins

I come home to the Imp Zone (I live in the game) from a long day of gamer, and I come back to people praising origins, of all things? Good job giving out your lovely games no one wants to pay for, for free EA, but no one wants to download another lovely loving webclient to play games on the computer. Why are you talking about Uplay on the computer, the PC version of Uplay loving blows, it's only good on the console, which is the best gaming medium. I tol' you all this and you started talking about the computer anway, lotta gaming fossils itt.

You can buy random poo poo with them. It varies depending on the game. I think some older games you could actually buy real DLC with them, no idea about now.

This is simply not true. You can find the critically acclaimed Infamous: Second Son (Actually the THIRD Infamous game) as well as Infamous: First Light on the PS4.

Steam rules and at least Origin gave me a free copy of Dragon Age. Uplay can't even download a patch correctly. Every time I want to install Far Cry 3 it has to download, then it installs, then it directs me to the game's website to download the patch. That's loving stupid.

Good lord.

The Nintendo Wii U is a standalone console that has exclusive games and is extremely win.

The WiiU is a new independent console, and it already has an arguably better library than the Wii.
