Cool, but its only the first -wait, no, it's all three games! That's impressive! It's everything! For like $5 USD! That's totally in impulse buy territory for me.

...wait, I need to make an account and have Origin to run in the background? For a (checks page) single player offline game?? Yeah ok, pass.

Thank you for letting us know though! Might not be a deal breaker for everyone.

I have not tried this but it sounds like a promising work around for the EA BS. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3507950031

I would still rather not financially support companies that try to do this, but still sharing for those who just want to play the game.

Redirection scam to ea

[-] dragontology@retrofed.com 1 points 1 week ago

$4.79 (you're welcome!) is a heck of a deal for a game you'll get 100+ hours out of (across all three). And you'll probably play it more than once. There are choices that carry over from the first two into the third games, and, as such, there are optimal paths in the third one you need to start setting up in the first one. So, play it normally the first time, then look up some guides and then save everyone.

I paid $5.99 for this on Xbox. So for the guy saying you have to run Origin (EA's launcher) in the background, that's not necessary there. I have an Origin account but I did not need it.

Oh, and it is a single player game, but keep in mind Mass Effect 3 was designed around lootboxes and gambling. The Legendary version takes all that out and rebalanced the game around not having any of that. I'd say they met us more than halfway. Now granted, if your computer isn't fast enough to run the game and Origin at the same time without losing frames, yeah, come to Xbox and play it here. Otherwise, it's not really an issue. How resource hungry can Origin be?

The problem isn't that origin is process intensive. The problem is that the requirement for it is anti-consumer.
