Mass effect 3 demo

/edit you seem to need to install something called Origin to d/l it for the pc so I left it. Ill try the xbox version.

origin is the EA version of steam. everyone hates it because its not steam.

i dont hate it because it not steam, i hate it cause it a bugged pile off poo

its never been a problem for me - i start it up, install a game (say, BF3 or iirc dragon age 2), close it down, play game. 6 months later i start the process again with a different game. maybe its because i give it very short windows of time to produce bugs in .
steam otoh makes me start it up every time i want to play a game, which just gets really annoying.
(yes, i'm an antisocial bastard that doesnt have steam running most of the time, as people keep talking to/at me.)

I picked up the GOY edition of Dawn of War 2 yesterday.

Popped the disc in and then had to wait ages & ages until I could actually play the game, due to Steam having to download the game files or something! They were not patch files, but it really reminded me why I bought a console for gaming Grrrrr.

Saying that strat games don't work well on consoles and I like to play World of Tanks on my PC The faffing about with pc gaming is annoying though.

Err you can install from the disc you know takes like 10 mins to install mine

think you'll find that depends on how Steam is feeling tbh whilst they've moved back away from you buying games in shops that just contained a CD-key for steam (thank god), they do have a habit of having several GB of day-1 patches that steam forces you to DL before you can play single player. its fine for people who have good broadband i guess.
