EA don't even deserve 1p a month let alone £3.99

I decided to give it ago, downloading a few games now,and there is a couple that my daughter can play to so that's good

Doesn't seem to be many games on offer for £3.99 a month. BF4 is a great game if you don't already have it, but other than that there's nothing there I would say is worth getting

BF4 is pretty much the only thing I use Origin for, so I definitely don't think I'll be buying this. The titles available to play are actually pretty good from what I can see, but I've played most of the ones I'm interested in from that list so it's not worth it for me. Maybe once they've added more games to the vault then I'll consider it.

Dragon Age, Battlefield, Dead Space, This War of Mine and even Sim City would be worth £3.99 for a months play if you don't own them, especially if you're someone who doesn't replay games. If you don't like the games on offer then that's fine, but people criticising EA for it as though they're charging £15 a month for it is baffling. The games they add and the frequency that they add them is what will define the service in the long term, but this first month is a very strong showing.

Ah,EA..They make great games,But some of the business choices they make are not helping the gaming industry at all,Soon they will all turn like this so you have to pay a monthly subscription to play games instead of just buying them..trust me,If this works well for EA and other games company's catch on..

Might do this for Dragon Age, i'll be done with it within a month so it's good value for me

kenny_st · 17 Jan 2016 at 21:31

Anyone signed up for this and using the service? I'm tempted to sign up.

It currently has a nice list of games I'd be interested to try out / play. Battlefront, BF4, Plants v Zombies 2, Titanfall, Unravel, Command and Conquer, Aragami and Furi. Looks like a pretty impressive list to start out with, plus the £20 for a years subscription looks very tempting. By the time the sub runs out, who knows what else could be added and you'll more than likely have moved onto newer games.

I'm just disappointed that Battlefront is only the base game. If I have Battlefront in access, will I be able to buy the season pass / DLC?

Oh and they have also just included Fifa 17 in the vault, so something I'll try out.

£20 for a year is a bargain. (Though I own most of those already)

Spacedeck · 21 Apr 2017 at 13:31

I know that when the service was first launched, people didn't feel like it was worth the price. But I don't think they had a £20/year option and the catalogue lacked content. Looking at the games between EA Access (Xbox) and Origin Access (PC), it doesn't look like much is different between the two anymore. Just american sports which not everyone is interested in anyway. I would like them to add golf and NHL 17 though.

Quite pleased with it tbh, get a few nice free games. and for £20 a year... I couldn't say no!

This is fantastic, esp if you have an older system as the games are still class (if a little older now)

Digital X · 21 Apr 2017 at 15:19

Need for speed rivals is what I play most on Origin, haven't tried garden warfare yet.

heartburnron · 21 Apr 2017 at 18:42

I'm subscribed at £3.99 a month. I think it's great value but then there were only a few games in the vault that I had already played. I guess it depends on how many of the available games you've got already doesn't it. Although you do get the early trials of new games to try if that is you're sort of thing...

Spacedeck · 21 Apr 2017 at 19:42

I hope they add MoH: Airborne to the list.

@heartburnron I hope you haven't been subbed for a long time

if so you should definitely go with the yearly sub when it's so much cheaper.

I must say, I'm surprised this isn't talked about more.

Spacedeck · 10 Jul 2017 at 17:22

Just a heads up on Origin Access. Some new games being added that I didn't know about!

Battlefront has had all DLC packs included.
Sims 4 is joining 11th July.

Also, if this post (https://www.ea.com/en-gb/news/coming-soon-to-access-summer-2017) is anything to go by. We will be getting Battlefield 1 and Titanfall 2! I hope this also includes us and not just America.

LeMson · 11 Jul 2017 at 00:16

I enjoy playing fifa 17 on this, it works well

Spacedeck · 9 Aug 2017 at 20:44

BF1 (standard edition) is now available via Origin Access! I didn't expect the game this early.
