I just wasted my money and I would never recommend Origin for anyone

(I actually found the installer for Physx had been downloaded by Origin to the ME2 folder, but neither Origin nor ME2 bothered running it.

When I inserted the discs, installed Origin (idiotic and useless program

All three amazing games, I wish I could use them with steam, rather than be forced to deal with EA's unreliable origin, but it's not much of a downside considering how amazing these games are.

The reason for this is EA's ridiculous Origin software

Origin is just like any other client, maybe not the best and not user-

i found the solution and how to trick Origin to use the DVDs instead of the download.

Origin is not good.

Even though I am not a big fan of Origin (I REALLY hate Origin), still worth buying.

The origin account link and required download is not working, several attempts to fix it with Origin tech support (India) and still no joy.

Too bad its Origin, but I guess my library will keep growing.

Ugh, Origin

The games are fine, the low rating is due to dismal Origin/EA quality control and failing to fix the product for years

Even though I am not a big fan of Origin (I REALLY hate Origin), still worth buying.

My first guess is that disabling the Origin features like Origin in-game was what did it

Luckily, origin patched the game so it should work now, but was still very annoying

You can only install it to ur origin account and origin sucks, so I never even sign in to remember that I need to install mass effect

Rather than Origin being useful and alerting you that a patch is needed, you have to comb the internet and see that you have to visit the Bioware website, manually download a patch, and run everything in Admin mode to make the patch install

; I like the games, Origin isn't the Devil, I recommend this purchase to anyone curious about the games

I bought the trilogy as a windows userI installed origin completelyI launched mass effect one to no availI spent more than 2 weeks in contact with the very unhelpful ea origin staffI attempted to fix the problem with my own knowledge and that of the internet and my friends,

In short, Origin's complete failure to handle installation and licensing appropriately makes this a frustrating experience even before you get to the game.

ORIGIN destroyed this product.

I just hate EA/origin.

If only I knew how useless origin was, I would have just spent the 50 bucks on steam and get a game that you can play rather than this unless data that sits there doing nothing

I didn't find Origin to be intrusive at all (in fact, I find it to be less intrusive than the commonly applauded Steam, but that's just my opinion - others may feel strongly differently)

Disregard the previous reviews that say Origin is difficult to work

The top of this page clearly states DRM:Origin

I'm only giving this two stars not because of the quality of the game, but because of EAs horrible Origin software

Origin and EA customer service is awful
