Origin Free Game Giveaway

I just got an e-mail saying Origin is letting us choose 1 of 3 games for their 1 year anniversary... check your e-mails.

Are Dragon Age or Spore any good?

Pick up Dragon Age. It's newer out of the two if I remember correctly and is a massive RPG from the guys who made Mass Effect. Spore has a cool central concept and potential for limitless play but the criticisms of it was that it was a large collection of mini-games.

You might be getting it soon. Some people have been saying they're only getting it in the U.S, which if true is complete bullshit...

Well that's good.

I ended up going with Dragon Age as suggested... I've heard it's a boring, linear, and tedious game, but I already have BC2 and Spore is supposed to be complete and utter crap.

I guess it just depends on the person. I preferred Dragon Age 1 compared to the second one.

Dragon Age 1 is one of the highest rated RPGs of all time, so you must of heard that from a retard.
I've got over 500 hours into DA:O so I got Spore because I've heard it was a fun timesink.

Sure hope so. I've never really looked into the game, but I've googled some reviews. Critics are normally wrong, though now that I think about it.

Dungeon Siege was oddly one of my favorite RPG's. Nobody has ever heard of it though.

I've never known a PC gamer who DIDN'T know of Dungeon Siege...
Very fun game.
2 and 3 not so much.

Zulthus · 2012-06-21, 12:10 AM

Yes.. the first game always seems to be the best (not graphically), as proven by nearly every game series to exist...

Hopefully the same fate does not fall on Planetside.

USA here, no email in inbox, spam, trash or otherwise.

Zulthus · 2012-06-21, 03:35 PM

Oh yeah, definitely enjoying Dragon Age Origins much much more than the second one at this point. Story seems to be much deeper.

I have a lot to learn though, that damn Ogre in the signal tower took me about eight attempts before I could bring the damned thing down.

Warborn · 2012-06-21, 03:51 PM

Ah, Spore. What an amazingly shitty game that was, and yet, what an amazing hype engine they built around it.

Also, there isn't an option on the website to get to said page/downloads for the free games. Plus, I can just JD or UTorrent any game I want in the first place.

The only reason you should have to pay for a game is if you want to support the developers.
imho
