[Origin] Crysis for a buck. 24hrs only. Be quick!

That might be a good reason to try Origin client again.

The first and only time i used it to buy a game the game was not added to my games list. After i downloaded and installed the game i had to start it outside of the client and as far as the client goes there was no trace of me buying the game.

The link just redirects to the home page.

confirmed, I tried it and it took me to home page. Upon finding Crysis it told me it was 20$

Works fine for me (UK)

Origin isnt that bad. it's not nearly as polished as Steam, but a lot younger. I bought some DLC through Origin recently, and it was painless.

Everyone and their mother has a game store with a mandatory application that has to run while gaming.

Anywho, the offer I get is both Crysis games for 5 Euro each.

UK site is listing it for ?5.

Weird, I'm getting shown $1.00 not using any proxies or vpns

EDIT - Looks like its taking me to the AU site

By use of a proxy I managed to get to the checkout but it wanted billing information, PayPal and my Debit Card both didn't like the fact that my only country options were AU and New Zealand. :s

I just re-installed Origin but the game is 5$ ... well since i played it already i'll pass. For 1$ it would have been interesting to replay the game before Crysis 3 but not at 5$.

Origin improved but the road to Steam is still really really long. At least looks like they are working on it. Also 113MB of ram you got to be kidding me. Steam takes 25MB only close to 5 times less ...

At least the game i bought is now showing in my games list. The first time i tried Origin the game i bought was not even showing in my games list that was really fail.

They really need to improve the information page for the games. No achivements. No trailers. Few screenshots. No linked articles. No news. There's like nothing but a short marketing description of the game. It's bad when you need to visit the games web site before making a decision.

    • Could you come up with a slightly less depressing background for Tux instead of that gray gradient? Doesn't have to be cheerful, just less of a downer...
    • Linux 7.2's first release candidate gets off to a good start by Paul Hill Credit: Larry Ewing It has been a few weeks since the release of Linux 7.1, and in that time, the Linux 7.2 merge window has been open, where developers can submit their features and patches ready for the upcoming release. That window is now shut, and the release candidate phase has begun so that new features can be tested and further fixes applied. According to the founder of Linux, Linus Torvalds, this week’s release candidate looks “reasonably normal”. Although we are super early in the release candidates, this is a good sign as it makes it more likely that an eighth release candidate will not be needed. Torvalds even mentioned that the update’s stats are only larger than they really are because there was another AMD header drop with a third of the patch just being AMD GPU register definitions, which aren’t big changes but make the code contributed look larger overall. In addition to this, he noted that just over half the patch is drivers, even when excluding the AMD register dump. The rest of the changes are spread out over architecture updates, tooling, documentation, and core kernel updates. In the next week, Torvalds says that he will be chilling out, taking the week “mostly off”. Despite this, he will be reading emails and keeping up with things, so if he is slow responding, now you know why. He said he is hoping for a calm week, but we will just have to see if the second release candidate is actually like that. We should expect seven or eight release candidates before Linux 7.2 is released, so expect it around the end of August. If you missed it a few weeks ago, be sure to check out our coverage of Linux 7.1's release.
    • Ridiculous claim that the labor cost difference of $6000 annually would increase cost per phone by $200. The employees produce 3 phones per month or what?
