Eh? Where'd you get that idea from Mazda?
I loved the first 2 games, but I'm avoiding the thrid, mostly 'cos of Origin, but I won't rail against anyone else buying it.
To be honest, it really hard to resist, and I'd love to see how Shepard's story ends, but Bioware are now to EA as Blizzard are to Activision.

Probably these:

And while people think that this is what RPGs are, this is all we'll get.
Don't mind me, I just get a bit grumpy about "RPGs" these days.
Edit:
Or, to put it another way, I think genre homogenisation is a shit sandwich.

come on, Origin couldn't be that bad. I had to download it just so i can try out the ME3 demo, and their GUI is actually pretty nice. At least visually and aesthetically, some other user experience interfaces out there could learn a thing or two from these guys. and who cares if there is shitty connections to servers, ME3 is a single player game....and don't start talking to me about achievements etc. tied to account data bullshit, cause I could care less about that.

Erm, how is that relevant Mazda? I even said in one of the quotes you posted that I enjoyed the game.
And Tsalaki, it's a personal thing. You're not going to persuade me otherwise. It never ceases to amaze me when people take someone's negative personal opinion of a game (or platform in Origin's case) as an affront.

The problem with Origin is that it reports back to EA's home base servers info about all the games installed on your machine...pirated or legit. Piracy debate aside it's nobody's business which games or other software I have installed on my machine.

After BF3 I won't be buying any more games with origin. I will pirate ME3 though to try it.
