LATEST FEATURES Being A Console Is Actually Xbox One's Worst Asset
Microsoft's newest console has lots of different features, but video games might hold the device back from the software giant's true intentions.

I wasn't allowed to talk about the new Infinity Ward game last week when I met with Activision, and I don't have much to say now that Xbox One spilled the beans.

On the future of some gamers

Before Microsoft and Sony do something regarding their future in the video game business, I wanted to write, and I've wanted it for a long time now, but other things kept getting in my way, and fearing that tomorrow might be too late, today will have to do.  ...

SEGA Joins Origin

Posted on Wednesday, March 14 @ 13:59:04 Eastern by Keri_Honea

EA announced today that SEGA will start offering its PC games through EA's Origin. The first game to join Origin is Total War Shogun 2: Fall of the Samurai, which is now avaialbe for preorder.

"By partnering with publishers like SEGA, we're able to bring even more of the industry's best games to players on Origin," said Craig Rechenmacher, Vice President of Business Development and Marketing for Origin. "With 11 million registered users around the world, Origin is fast becoming the destination for consumers looking for fresh new content to play with their friends."

SEGA's partnership brings the game developers and game publishers total to 35 with Origin. Whether you love or hate Origin, it appears to be sticking around for a considerable while. I'm not a PC gamer, so I have really no comment or insight into using Origin outside of using it in a roundabout way to activate my passes through BioWare.

But for the PC gamers out there, does this anger you, make you go "meh," or make you happy to see Origin continue to grow in this manner?

    If their games are only going to be release through Origin, then I have a problem with that. Exclusivity is bad.

    I would not expect to see Valve's offerings anywhere but Steam. Right now, Origin is a piece of crap that EA can get away with because of their incredibly desirable IPs.

    If you had told me that there would be a console war WITHIN PC gaming ten years ago, I would have laughed. Now I just cry.

    I've resisted buying and bashed consoles for 6 years about exclusivity. Felt like a pretty small voice though.

    I am also not much of a PC gamer. Is Origin like Steam only shitty or what exactly?

    Basically like Steam, except with utterly, utterly horrendous customer service.

    LOL yea SEGA is still alive though. No idea how they are turning any kind of profit though, they continually release subpar games that never sell very well. They need to remove their heads from their asses.

    Sonic Generations was pretty damn good (most fun I've had with a Sonic game since I was 8), as was Renegade Ops (despite its utterly generic name), and the Total War games have consistently ranged from good to brilliant. Football Manager (or Soccer, for you yanks) is basically a guaranteed money maker in most of Europe, and of course they've got their whole "Classics" library to fleece money from nostalgic fools.

    Considering that Shogun 2 Total war is a game with a broken feature (which is advertised on the box), I can expect anything out of Sega. Bunch of *******s. and Chunibrow is right.

    This is the stuff that is killing PC gaming. It is all bullshit. A lot of people don't remember but Steam was a pile of **** when it first came out too. It took a few years to get in the shape it is in now.

    Also, when I play games on my pc, I just want to ****ing click the icon and play it. So sick of have to start other programs. Back when fallout 3 was still putting out DLC I had it on steam oh but the DLC was on games for windows live. So I had to DL GFWL buy the add ons, run the program, then start steam, THEN start fallout 3. Just for 1 ****ing game. That's the main reason I don't want yet another bullshit thing like origin on my pc. I just want to play my damn games. And don't tell me about running in offline mode. Just more bullshit.
