Populous.... a game they don't even sell anymore from 1989. They probably got it off an abandonware site and wrapped it in a dosbox wrapper like GOG releases.
Epic Bonus Troll!

Good point. Would be nice to get the DS trilogy on my pc, but I'm content with just picking DS2 up on the next steam sale.
Comment has been collapsed.
Interestingly, doing that may also be better for PR (the most likely purpose of the bundle, from a cynical but realistic point of view), since a lot of people are disappointed that the leaked games weren't in the bundle. Getting "promised" something that doesn't end up being given generally makes you happier if you actually get it later on, in my experience.

Or probably they are trying to sell some of the games before they go in the bundle(current sale includes some of them)

Yes, but if you bought the bundle before the new bonuses rolled out, then you get them when the bundle updates.

BTA still worth even for standard games from bundle. Don't be greedy.
Comment has been collapsed.
What are you talking about? EA almost promised DS2 + other stuff, but since they sold more than intended they just throwed us 1 shitty game and a 90's game. Base bundle is just awesome (even if DS2 is missing), but bonuses (not the BTA) are just bad. EA behavior is (as always) pritty bad. IMHO.

I like how you think. Nope.
Btw who said i cannot complain about bonuses and get annoyed for the fact im forced buying that Dead Space 2 since i have 1st and 3rd chapter in Origin (since in Steam it costs 30 instead of 10)? You are happy cuz u grabbed your awesome RA3 Uprising and i can't complain about this? Lol, this guy just said he wants to kill person just because they are complaining about something and im the insane :)

I do!
If I sell you Lord of the Rings 1 and 3 for 5 cents each. Are you gonna complain that you still have to buy 2 for original price? If yes: you must be fun at your own parties and people definitely love giving you presents.
The only source there was about these games being included were some steamdb listing 'last modified' entries. Which happened to be at nearly the same time as the ones which were known to be in the bundle. But what if, let's say, Steam gets a notice of what packages to modify, on a weekly basis? That all of the internet went crazy about this and interpreted that as being 'it will be added to the bundle as well', doesn't even come close to implying that EA almost promised it.
Also, I suggest reading your own source again, or polish your English, because in your own reddit source they made it very clear that it is NOT confirmed.
You probably guessed it, but your attituted really pisses me off. You know, they could stop putting in bonus games halfway in a bundle at all right? Maybe they should, to break the expectation pattern of it.

If you sell me LotR 1 and 3 for 3 each im buying them individually. If I'm free the buy the second chapter where i want for a reasonable price there is no problem. If you sell me a bundle without the mid chapter FORCING me to buy that one by your own store (since from steam cost 30 instead of 10, full price) i have some problem with you. Is not only that of course, is the fact that a normal persone would give you DS2 and NOT Popolous (great game i loved so much, but he his 24 freaking years old).
Also, I suggest reading my own message again, beacuase in my message is say very clear they where RUMORS, and we all know what rumors are. Imo EA just didn't expected to sell so much bundles, so they gifted a very old game and a very bad game instead of what they wanted at the beginning. Is only a my opinion, and for this my opinion I'll just continue avoiding EA's titles at any store (Retail, steam, origin). For this my opinion I said that they are stingy (maybe wasn't the right world to say but I'm not good in English and don't know how to say they changed their mind to spend lose less money than gifting bulletstorm+ds2+airborn).
I'll repeat just another time: that's my personal opinion. You can think different, but accept the fact I just think that. I'm a bit bored answering to a bunch of guys who posted "I want to kill the people who complain about the bundle, lol" since they think I am the bad guy here.

It's possible you got the original Dead Space and the third for £0.68, complaining that you weren't given the complete series when it was so cheap is like complaining that it's unfair that a charity shop had the first and third films in a trilogy (Like the LotR example) as well as several other films that were ridiculously cheap. You have absolutely no entitlement to receive Dead Space 2, it is selfish to think that because you are given the first and third in a series you should also automatically be given the second as well. Both games are complete even if you don't play the second, and considering there's a sale on, if you really want the second you can quite easily buy it for a fairly low price.
Firstly, C&C:Red Alert 3 - Uprising isn't a bad game, so don't badmouth it just because you didn't get what you wanted. Secondly, who knows whether they've "changed their mind", for all you know we could still be given the bonuses that we originally presumed we would get. I'm pretty sure they didn't plan to have their servers take a nosedive either, so who knows, maybe they're adding the bonuses slowly to decrease the pressure their servers will be under.
In any case, you are a very selfish person if you think that you are entitled to have a complete series given to you just because you were generously given 2 AAA games in a series. If you want it, buy it, but don't be selfish and complain about things that no one "deserves".

I think you just read 2 or 3 random words of all my posts and then you posted this reply.
Btw your example is stupid (not saying you are stupid, just your example): the humble bundle don't have any games, EA gives to humble bundle keys. A charity shop with films is just a charity shop with films. If that imaginary charity shop had some contact to the film makers and those film maker "gift" for a cheap price some films making you forced to buy the others directly from their store then its unfair. As always i'll repeat myself, since you didn't read my posts: THE BUNDLE IS JUST A BIG AWESOME BUNDLE AND IT WORTH ALL THE PRICE. I'm getting really tired of repeating this every post cuz you cant just read what i type.
And no. C&C Uprising is just bad, its even worst than RA3 (and i really don't like it, but it can be only me). We could still get other bonus, yes, and if its so im really sorry to have doubt of EA...but you know, it's EA.
For the last thing i'll repeat again another thing: You guys are free to say you want to kill people? (and that guy of this post just said that) So I'm free to say that BONUSES and ONLY BONUSES are crap. Feel free to read ALL of this post this time and don't bother to spend your time randomly saying im a bad person only because i think those bonuses are bad.
tl;dr
Bonuses = Crap;
Bundle = Awesome;
Me = Disappointed By Bonuses;
Me = Happy For The Whole Bundle;
Me = Not Sorry About My Purchases Of This Bundle;
Ok, i hope this will help you to understand.

I've read all of your posts in this thread in their entirety and gave you my conclusion/summary of a response to them in my post. My post was made because I disagreed with what you said, not because I simply looked at a couple of words you said and thought "OMG NOOB".
Thanks for reiterating your point, however my disagreement isn't simply because you think the bonuses are bad, it's because you talk as if EA are obligated to giving away Dead Space 2, which they simply are not. That isn't "typical EA", that's just what's known as business. If they add Dead Space 2, that's great and jolly nice of them. If not, then it's perfectly understandable since they are in actual fact a business, not a charity; EA is out to simply make profit(same as virtually every company out there), no doubt about that. By not including Dead Space 2 in the bundle but putting the other two in, they're making it more likely that someone will decide to buy Dead Space 2 from them which will result in profit for their company. There's absolutely nothing "unfair" about this, doesn't matter whether you agree with what their company does or not, if you don't want to buy it because you disagree with things they've done in the past(Which means you can't play the game, lol), the problem for that comes from your end. Plus, you aren't being "forced" to buy the game, you have the option to either buy it or not buy it, there's no "forcing" you to buy it at all.
Whatever you say man, but I know plenty of people who have enjoyed Uprising, even if it isn't the best in the series. I don't think you realise that the OP was joking/using a hyperbole, not meaning he would actually like to kill people. But yeah, you're free to say the bonuses are crap, but that doesn't mean that you're right.
Tl;dr
EA isn't "unfair", it's what's known as business; they're not a charity.
Bundle = great, I agree.
My post = response to you claiming EA is unfair because of not adding Dead Space 2 as well.
Comment has been collapsed.
Ok, I understand. But I didn't want to say they HAVE to gift us DS2. But almost everyone here are saying EA did charity and we have all to thanks the great Lord EA.
You say it's a business, and I'm happy to know you understand that. DS2 as bonus would be a great bonus (not only because it's a great game - I really don't know how it is - but because they are "gifting" a complete series and more stuff like Crysis2). The Popolous bonus represent only a teasing, IMHO. And I'm just sad for that.
You are right btw, i cannot properly say they are forcing me to buy DS2 from their store. But you have to admit that this is their point: giving you an incomplete series and making you buy from them all you need (now that I have ds1 and 3 I'll probably take ds2 [an hypothetical "I"], now that I have BF3 I'll probably buy BF3 premium from them, etc). For The sims and bf3 it's ok, they just can't gift you everything...but they could just do a little effort and "gift" DS2 too making a really nice impression. What they did, though? They just put on sales rumored titles like Bulletstorm and "essensials" titles like DS2 on sale and just gifted Red Alert 3 Uprising. Add the fact their games are sold with a 3x price elsewhere and that you have to buy from Origin if you want them...and I just become upset.
I'm not saying they are just evil, I'm saying this is all a marketing move and as always I'll continue avoiding to buy EA titles.
Happy to see you are not a guy just randomly saying "EA is good!!! EA gifted to us many games for free!". They did a great thing, yes, but they are not stupid enough to really gift things with no return. How many guys will buy BF3 Premium or a The Sims DLC or just DS2 from Origin now?
Comment has been collapsed.
I bought the bundle. In no way shape or form do I have any inclination to buy DS2. I only bought the bundle for Sims 3 + DLC. Does that mean I should think it unfair to have to pay more than the base to get the thing I really want?
Or am I not going to complain because in the end I got a bunch of games for 90% off. I mean really. That's almost like saying I would be mad that EA didn't give the complete Sims 3 with all the DLC. I can play the game just fine without it. You can play DS1 and 3 without 2.
If you like the game then go and buy the rest of it. You sir give bundle buyers a bad name. It's entitlement attitudes like yours that makes companies think PC gamers are just cheapass vultures.
Next time just don't buy an EA bundle. If you didn't have DS1 and 3 you wouldn't be moaning about not getting Dead Space 2. No one forced you to buy the bundle in the first place.

I love how you say that last line like it's the worst possible thing :P
Like, God forbid EA might make some sales after all this! I don't understand how EA making sales off of games you want to play, or having people buy games on Origin is a bad thing.
Sure, the bundle was likely a marketing move, but since when does marketing=bad? I think the bundle was a great way to earn some consumer loyalty.

I wouldn't cry blood anyway. And as i said in some other post: the bundle is just awesome, no doubt. I'm just annoyed by the fact i'm forced to buy DS2 in their store because their prices on steam (Alice, DS2, Spore, etc.) are higher.
Btw im not screwing, yelling random bullshit, destroying everything passes near me or something like that. I just posted on a forum that I'm disappointed.
So, please, explain why i have to spend so much time to let you guys understand that is not good that i can't say "I'm disappointed for the bonuses since loads of motivation, valid for me" but that guys can say "I want to kill the people who complain about the bundle, lol" without anyone annoying him about that?

Probably because you keep hammering on the fact that you are 'forced' to buy DS2 from them. If you don't want to buy DS2, fine. The games don't seem to rely too much on each others stories, although I have only played 1 and 2.
Also for the guy saying he want to kill people. That statement is so over the top that most will probably just read it as : I am really annoyed by.

I'll probabily ask my brother to spoiler me the story and play the 3rd without problem, anyway. I'm just sorry I will not play DS2.
And can't you read that like: I am really annoyed by the popolous bonus? Come on, its Popolous, I had it retail and really don't know where's now. It's 24 years old. Like 1.7kk bundles sold, how many people will really try and enjoy that title? Almost no one, I think.
Comment has been collapsed.
Well, you won't really miss that much I think. You have indeed the what happened before thing. Also, in DS2 itself, there are actually only minor references to DS1 in my opinion. Along the line of, 'yeah I know how to deal with these creatures, had a lot of experience with that before'. And one level that takes place in a part of what happened to be part of DS1.
The story, well, let's say, it makes hardly sense even when getting as much info from it as you can (including reading about the spoilers and stuff from the other games, like handheld versions and stuff).
Great game nonetheless with an intriging story line, but I wouldn't worry too much about missing a part from that. :)

Agreed. People get 10 AAA titles, worth over 200$, for 5$ and they complain "Oooh, we didn't get this game" or "Oooh, those bonus games are late".
Two things:

Better now. If you can count just 8 titles (RA3 is just bad) its even better.
I repeat: great, awesome, must have bundle. I bought 2 BTA copies (for me and my gf) and im not sorry about it. But still low, shitty, undesired bonus. I (and most of people like me) wasn't crying about bonuses or said things like "I want to kill all EA emplyees for not giving to me DS2 or Bulletstorm". We just said: Aww, so bad. Or: i'll continue not buying EA games, after this.

Considering Uprising was released in 2009 under a big budget AND the definition of a AAA title is "A video game with a large budget", I feel it's appropriate to include it.
Comment has been collapsed.
no uprising was likely made at same time as RA3 and like most expansions isnt terribly different from the game that spawned it, i paid about double what the BTA was for uprising probalby in 09 as it was the only c&c i didnt have, i dont regret buying it buts its no a full title by any means, was fine for what it is and its an ok bonus but its not a AAA title by any stretch its the spinoff of a AAA title

"We just said: EA is FORCING us to buy Dead Space 2."
Fixed that for you. If you were just simply stating that you were sad it wasn't what you thought or wanted that was one thing. But specifically hating for not getting Dead Space 2 sounds like a straw man flimsy argument. In which case next time those of you who have specific desires should wait until ALL the bonus games come out and then buy or not bother buying at all. But no, no one should complain because you aren't forced to buy anything. So yeah, you deserved to be scolded.
Comment has been collapsed.
Lol. I agree with you.
The only problem is that I'm not hating EA more than before this bundle. I'm disappointed for the reason I already told (popolous in bundle instad a game of this millenium, ea games' prices incredibly high elsewhere but in Origin). I know for you guys it's impossible to have an idea and stay coherent with that idea, you just see a discounted game and don't think about anything. I do not like EA as company, so I won't buy their game, that's all. The policy they have to set different prices (30 elsewhere and 10 in their store) is bad, for example.

dunno why ur hating Origin so much, for me Origin for now is better than steam. i always have steam freezing or problems with checking store/profile etc. also origin for me looks much better. it reminds me ubuntu :) if i had a chance to play game withought steam i would be happy
Comment has been collapsed.
The problem, for me, is that i won't buy DS2 from origin...so i'll not play DS1 + DS3, and its pretty bad :( I have to get it "elsewhere" or steal it from my brothers account or just ask him how the story goes on, dunno.
I'll still have fun with Crysis 2 and...well, just crysis 2 for the base bundle. Still 1$ anyway :)

Has that ever happened? I do not think it has. Besides I am happy that they even put up the bundle in the first place.. nice as is to get the first set of bonuses as well. I admit it would be nice if we get more, but its not something that will be horrible if we did not.

I'm only upset for the same reason. It's not humble or ea's fault, just my own for thinking they would add some of the games that was shown being update on that forum making mostly everyone think those are the bonus games. Also, most people have bf3 and sims 3.

Exactly. I'm just sitting here reading all these stuff thinking the same thing. I'm just happy to get BF3 and DS3. Always wanted to try them out, but not desperate enough to buy for full price. Don't really care about the bonuses. I might give it away.

You do have to pay more for bf3 and, I'm not saying they should put it with the game if you do get it I was talking about if they ever put premium with it which would still be a lot since i'm sure they wouldn't make it the same as bf3 and sims 3 I mean you are getting lots of dlc and content.

Abandonware is a term people made up to justify piracy of old games that are difficult to get. I'm not going to demand they go and try to find an original copy of many of the games labeled such, which will likely be on floppy disks, but that doesn't make it legal.
