Origin is a digital distribution platform developed by Electronic Arts. It offers mainly online gaming service and digital rights management (DRM). Origin allows its users to purchase games via the internet for PC and mobile platforms and then download them with the Origin client. It also features many social options, like profile management, networking with friends on chat, and direct game joining (along with the in-game overlay). Another cool option is streaming via TwitchTV, sharing of game library and community integration with networking sites (Facebook, Xbox Live, PlayStation Network, etc.). Electronic Arts wants Origin to match its leading competitor, Steam by adding many new features, rewards, and cross-platform releases. Origin also allows its users to browse and purchase games for full price from Electronic Arts' catalogs. Instead of receiving a box, disc, or even an activation code, the purchased software is immediately (and permanently) attached to the user's account and can be downloaded with the corresponding Origin client. EA Downloader was launched in late 2005. After many changes, it was reopened under the Origin name on June 3, 2011. Currently, Origin has over 50 million registered users.Sandbox is a loose term used to describe the open world video games. In a typical sandbox RPG, players can move freely through a virtual world and are given particular freedom in regard to objective approach - unlike in other RPG games with more linear structure. A sandbox RPG usually lacks the invisible walls and/or loading screens (a common trait of linear level designs) but still has some restrictions in the game environment. Games with a particularly high level of autonomy are typically MMORPGs (e.g. World of Warcraft) and sometimes also classic single-player RPGs (like the Fallout series). The most appealing trait of typical open world games is that they try to simulate reality and allow players to develop many aspects of their gameplay (e.g. character, world, questline, etc.). It should also be noted that sandbox games don’t have a specific goal or pre-defined ending. The best, most popular sandbox games include Watch Dogs, Final Fantasy XV, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Grand Theft Auto V, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, and of course Minecraft. Immerse yourself in a living world! The best sandbox RPG games for PC and consoles - only on Games Republic.Grand Theft Auto is such a legendary franchise. With over 250 million units sold, the GTA brand is well-known in the gaming world. GTA games are typically set in fictional cities (e.g. Liberty City, Vice City, or San Andreas), which are stand-ins for the real-world cities. Gameplay focuses on an open world where the player can choose his/her objectives and complete various missions in order to progress an overall story. There are many engaging side activities, all consisting of driving, action-adventure, TPS, stealth, racing, and even roleplay elements. Each part of the GTA series focuses on a different protagonist who attempts to rise through the ranks of the city’s criminal underworld. It should be noted that the Grand Theft Auto series has been voiced by many film and music veterans, including Dennis Hopper, Samuel L. Jackson, Burt Reynolds, Debbie Harry, Phil Collins, and Axl Rose. Action, adventure, and a lot of humor. Grand Theft Auto is all that and more! Check out the best GTA titles on Games Republic.Hide
