It came out the week before the financial year ended which is why it was not talked about more. It will be something discussed more in depth during next years financial report.

Not necessarily, plenty of successful games don't get DLC and if a sequel was in development it is far too early to flesh about it. Multiplayer DLC and patches are possibly still to come and the team has not so much been decimated as moved on to various other projects. Happens all the time these days.

there will be no further DLC or updates in ME:A apart from the multiplayer.

Which is exactly what I said.

I'd say a lot of those copies were bought by fans in the first while it was on sale and pre-order who were really excited about the franchise moving on. Once those players starting talking about how not great it was (I won't say it's a BAD game, it's not, it's just kinda meh) then the folks on the fence were put off buying it new, and probably plan on picking it up 2nd hand or now in the vault.

I bought a copy in the first week and I really was not impressed. I LOVE the original trilogy (currently replaying it, actually) and I just couldn't get into Andromeda. It was my first time buying a game that soon after launch and I'm annoyed at myself that I did, tbh. I didn't pay full price for it (I bought an elite controller on deal that came with a game, traded the game and used my game stop points, so the disc copy for me ended up about €40) and I'm really glad I didn't pay full whack. It wasn't worth it, in my opinion.

Yes, we know there are no more future patches for single player and to quote myself "Multiplayer DLC and patches are possibly still to come".

Deep Thought · 17-10-2017 8:37pm

was thinking of signing up for this for the young lad, is it still worth it?

Kerplunk124 · 17-10-2017 9:16pm

For sure, pretty sure there's a free trial

sniper_samurai · 18-10-2017 6:41am

Mass Effect Andromeda is now in the vault.

Lord TSC · 19-10-2017 10:36am

Man, I love the Mass Effect games, and have played 1,2 and 3 multiple times. Love Dragon Age too.

I played througH MEA once, and while I really enjoyed it, there's zero replay ability in it

Christ, do you fly through them or just have incredible amounts of free time to play through those games many times? :eek:

omb0wyn5ehpij9 · 24-10-2017 10:27pm

I played and finished Battlefield 3 a month or two ago, really enjoyed it. I’m currently on the last mission of Battlefield 1, and I didn’t enjoy it anywhere near as much. Any recommendations for what I should download next?

I'm sure you played Titanfall, but if not, Titanfall... the second one.

Nope, never played it. Is it worth playing the first one first?

Max Mafioso · 25-10-2017 9:30am

First one is only multiplayer, no real story to it

The campaign in TF2, while relatively short, is hands down one of the best FPS campaigns I've ever played. Enjoy!

It's a cracking game, I'm really looking forward to giving it a 4k run through in T minus 13 days, whoooop!

That and not having a social life help :P

Folks, is it possible to push EA Access downloads remotely via an app/website etc?

CatInABox · 09-11-2017 10:00am

Should be, yes. It should just be available through the xbox website, just go to whichever game you want while logged in, and it should be available.

I'll have a look. Stuck in work and fancy a bit of that star wars demo tonight, too big a download to wait until I get home

You need to see the "Try now for free" button, if you're logged in and have an active EA Access sub. After you click that and confirm (make sure price is 0.00), you should have the "Install now on XBox One" button, to kick off the installation.

Hope this helps.

Could have sworn they were already on it?

Yeah you're dead right, already there!

CatInABox · 01-12-2017 6:54pm

Yeah, but weirdly enough, they weren't on sale. Perhaps it was meant as a kind of Access bonus?

CatInABox · 19-12-2017 9:43pm

Battlefield: Bad Company is in the vault.

SeanHarty · 20-12-2017 10:47am

when you guys say the valut is that just the vault of games to choose from when you have EA access? also is there somewhere you can see the full list of games available?

Hope the story mode in NFL is worth playing

Everytime I see this topic bubble back up to the top I hope that it's because Syndicate has been made backwards compatable and added to the vault. Still no joy.

I went to find it last night and it's still not showing up in my app, but when I went to the store it showed up as available to install for me. That's why I missed it.

Is there a way to kick off the download remotely?
I keep forgetting

EDIT: I managed to do it on xbox.com but you can't do it in the Xbox mobile app

Lord Spence · 12-04-2018 3:04pm

any sign of Fifa 18 in the vault?

maximoose · 12-04-2018 3:06pm

Not too long away I'd say

FIFA 17 was added in April 2017

NHL 18 is now in the vault
