Especially when you then have the whole monstrous titanic robot shit flying around – trying to portion that out over dozens of players would probably result in a pretty high, “I haven’t got a robot yet, this is bullshit,” ragequit factor, because obviously not EVERYONE can have a robot, and why are you playing Titanfall if not for the robots? Having loads of AI players probably boosts player enjoyment because they’re able to get more than 50% kill/death without actually having to be better than 50% of players, meaning a greater number of players feel the power trip. Personally, I’d buy the design excuse – in the old days Battlefield was usually populated with bots to pad out a 64 player server with only however many humans could/would join and didn’t really suffer for it, because it meant you had plenty to shoot at. Seemed like a dig at Origin, and expressing skepticism at the idea that 6v6 was a design choice to influence a desired style of gameplay over the likelihood of catering to console restrictions. While I *like* Steam, Origin I just put up with it because I have to if I want certain games While Steam feels like it’s helpful because it’s useful for so many games, Ubisoft and Origin just feel like they’re forced in because really they’re needed for those 5 games you want.
Origin hasn’t got a nice large library of games that I want. Also, the lack of DVD drive in my computer makes it much better to download than run a diskĪs to why I dislike Origin? Frankly, it’s the range. And frankly unless I’m pirating it’s just easier to buy online. Plus Big Picture mode really helps when I want a gaming PC in the lounge room. If I reformat my computer, Steam’s got my saves nice and safe. The fact that it backs up most of my save games is helpful. Game needs Dx9? Steam takes care of it.NET whatever? Steams got that sorted. I like Steam because it not only keeps track of all the games I have, and lets me back them up neatly and easily, it also downloads and installs all the requirements of games for me.
