    No way! EA not like to give us such a big games like NFS. For me Need For Speed Most Wanted for 2013 is worst NFS ever made, when you play the game you will understand.

      Im sorry but that title goes to The Run hands down!

      Also dont forget Rivals

      • MagicOZ on 03/02/2016 - 08:54

        What about Rivals , is good to me is like reborn Hot Pursuit but open world and fun. Ea NFS can't present new ideas for than reason we didn't see Need For Speed new game in pass year.

          There was a need for speed game released at the end of last year but it has no manual transmission option :(

        • britta on 03/02/2016 - 09:37

          I didnt mind Rivals but it really didnt bring anything to the series. Felt more like a cash grab to fall in line with a new console release.

          Hot Pursuit was a great game. Was hoping EA would learn a lesson from Hot Pursuit and maybe go back to underground

    • Konn on 03/02/2016 - 13:05

      I find it to be the best NFS. This game was built for car enthusiasts. Audio is just orgasmic. Many people complain about the handling but don't even play 30 minutes in to unlock the lightweight kit or the short shifting transmission. SO many cars you can play with. How was it the worst?

    • Agret on 05/02/2016 - 10:39

          do you have access to a mac? real mac?

        • albert0pia on 24/02/2016 - 18:48

          @millusions: No I don't. I need one to create a USB install disk, don't I? I've been meaning to embark on this project but I'm too lazy to work out what parts to get that are hackintosh-ready. Can I PM you fron here on out? Thanks

    Being free it's almost worth it

  • lostn on 03/02/2016 - 10:41

    Origin is screwed for me after the latest update. Whenever I run it, nothing happens. I can't update it again since it won't even run so I can't get to the update phase.

    My only option is to reinstall, and since there's no guarantee it won't do that again, I just haven't bothered.

    Anyone else get this problem?

    • Nilfunds on 03/02/2016 - 11:29
      +4

      remove it. etc.

      to re-install games Origin is the worst thing about it, hate it.
      but here's what you do.
      move the games to a safe directory or alternatively change the game directory in your fresh install.
      when you have fresh origin up and running start the game install/download - to an empty directory make sure.
      when the download gets to 1% kill origin using task manager.
      copy or move game to download location.
      start origin.
      repeat for each game

      they should really fix this stupid process.

      btw. no. havent had any issues with origin like you describe and use it often.

      • albert0pia on 23/02/2016 - 22:41

        Pausing the download and resuming it after copying also does it for me.

    I keep getting Origin games for cheap or free, but I don't bother installing or playing anything on there. It's either Steam or DRM-free for me.

    Thanks, OP. I'll be doing the same with this one… add to library, then forget about it. I might play it once I get around to playing my 100+ unplayed games on Steam. :P

      I do the same thing with Steam.

  • Phreebee on 03/02/2016 - 20:21

    Origin is really taking on Steam by offering AAA free games like this - something that I cannot recall Steam ever doing. I have Battlefield 3 and now Need For Speed Most Wanted in my Origin library that were both given away by Origin for free. Steam mostly distributes PC games, while Origin (EA) is also a developer & publisher so I suppose EA has more discretion to run free game promotions like this one. Well done to Origin, I say. Can anyone remember if/when Steam ever game away a comparable post-2010 AAA title for free?

    • lostn on 03/02/2016 - 21:48

      Precisely that. EA owns the games they give away, Valve doesn't and can't unless the publisher/dev is willing to give it away.

      But EA's selection of AAAs is a lot smaller than what is available on Steam. If they keep giving away these games, they'll eventually run out of stuff they can give.

    • CyberGenesys on 03/02/2016 - 22:59

      This game isn't AAA, it's barely even an A. Also, it's an EA product which means by comparison to the cost of the ridiculous amounts of DLC; the price of the base game is nothing. There are 13 items listed under DLC ranging from $2.99 to $29.99.

      The game is free, the content is not. Much the same as BF3.

    • Agret on 05/02/2016 - 10:53
