Oh yeah, I clicked the “my games” tab, but it just showed two links- one to buy more games through Origin, and one to browse free to play games. None of my library was anywhere.
EDIT: Okay, now the library works. I guess it just takes EA forever to update user libraries when they activate products. I activated and started installing BF3 yesterday. Didn’t have a “library” of activated products until today.
That’s weird, can you show us a screenshot of that?
I didn’t happen to screencap it, but it seems like it’s working properly now.
Battlefield 3 itself, however, is another story. Even two years after launch I’m running into glitches and crashes in the single player. Good news with that is that I’m catching most of it with NVIDIA ShadowPlay videos. This thing would be a godsend for LPs.
Battlelog has always baffled me. Why do you have to go to a website to log in and then launch your game from there? It seems really bizarre to me, especially for an FPS.
Personally, I don’t hate Origin, I think it’s decent enough to compete with Steam, but it still has problems on a lot of the little things that make Steam really good. For example, it doesn’t give you any kind of status on your messages to your friends. I have always liked the " is typing…" chat status Steam has, plus the sent times, and the little reminder of the previous convo you had with them. I think Origin might have a couple of those now but the messaging system still could use some work. As could the Origin overlay - more often than not it just refuses to work. Though I am not 100% certain that isn’t ME3’s fault, since it often won’t let you Alt-Tab out of the game. Still, I can’t recall ever having a conflict like that on any Steam games. I suppose this might just be an isolated case but it does irritate me. The inability to change your display name is a drawback too. But it works, they’re always having sales like Steam does, and most of the important features are there. I think most people who hate it are just Steam fans who have most of their library on Steam and don’t want to have to use a second program for just a few Origin-exclusive games. Add in a few little annoyances and Origin is the worst gaming platform since the CD-i.
Fallout 3, or at least I tried. FO3 is the single most UNSTABLE game I have ever played. Even after patching it up with the digital equivalent of several rolls of duct tape, it’s still crashing like crazy.
I’m thinking of getting New Vegas. Please tell me it’s more stable than FO3?
You must not have tried playing Opposing Force on a high-end PC then.
I played it on my old system and it never gave me any trouble.
And to answer your question, Yes. Fallout New Vegas is more stable than FO3.
BTW: I solved FO3 crashes by using this Large address Aware Enabler. The main reason FO3 crashes is because it runs out of memory.
Most of the crashes I get occur on loading screens. Is that related to the memory issues?
I don’t know, but I would guess no. That sounds more as some kind of compatibility issue.
Memory problems occurs when the accessible RAM runs out, which that program solve.
You’ve probably google’d the problem several times, but I did a quick search and it seems that a lot of crashes is caused by the sound drivers.
I’ve been playing mass effect two, skyrim, and a little darkness 2 for about 2 weeks now. All are great fun, they keep me well entertained. I’m cutting back on them though in order to work and do nanowrimo.
Finished Battlefield 3’s single player. Oh man, there is an epic rant ready, boiling away inside me. This turkey is so awful even Glenn Morshower couldn’t save it. Scripting problems galore, even this long after release. They just didn’t care, indeed.
Batman:Arkham Asylum (From the humble bundle sale). Not entirely sure if I like it or not yet. I’m not a huge fan of the dialogue or voice acting, but the gameplay isn’t too bad. As far as facial expressions go, The Joker and Harley Quinn seem to be the only ones that show emotion. Everyone else idk, they all seem dead in the eyes and don’t move apart from their mouths. Even batman.
Too early to determine if it’s proper fun or not.
Arkham Asylum takes a little while to get really good. I don’t know where you are right now but once the game open up to the outside areas, that’s when the real fun begins.
It wasn’t critically acclaimed for no reason.
How good is F.E.A.R 2 and F.E.A.R 3?
I am either very bad or the game is actually really hard, but I’m having a lot of issues with some of the bigger fights in Arkham Origins. I chose to play on hard because usually hard is a pretty good difficulty but I wasn’t expecting it to actually be hard :ermm: . I’ve died like 10 times already in the fight on the ship after you knock the electric guy out.
Fear 2 is pretty good but not as good as the first game. Fear 3 is generally considered the worst and not even just compared to the other games, but just bad in general.
Made it as far as the second scarecrow fit today, and I can confirm that it’s fun as shit. The only thing I don’t like is having to backtrack to areas you’ve already been to to get trophies you can only reach with new gadgets.
I just finished the bit with Bane. The tactic was easy enough but when they threw in the thugs to deal with, that got a little tricky.
But yeah its gotten a lot better so far. I don’t really like the combat too much since I mainly just like. Spam click and come out alive without taking damage. But the bits where you need to be stealthy and tactical is really fun.
^ that was one of the few fights that gave me trouble, along with the records room where the goons are all wearing those suicide collars.
I actually liked FEAR 2 a lot.
Sure it wasn’t as good as the first game, and they cut out a lot of the combat effects and put in a lot more jump scares in place of the more atmospheric, well paced parts of the first game, but I still enjoyed it a lot.
Speaking of which, I still have to beat it.
And as Kairouseki said, F3AR was absolute garbage.
