Dead Space 3 wont launch on Steam or Origin

Hey all, I hope this is the right place to ask about something like this, but I come to you with a problem that I have been trying to solve for the past week or so, but have failed at fixing. I have recently acquired Dead space 3 to play with a friend, I bought the original from steam but was given the exclusive edition when speaking to EA support staff due to the original not being able to launch through Steam or Origin. The problem has not been fixed and neither version launches.

The problem occurs when I click Play on Dead Space 3 on steam the button turns blue and says Stop as if it were going to open, but then after a few seconds turns green and says Play again without anything changing.

The game screen doesn't pop up, there is no error message, it just seems to start opening and then before anything can happen it just stops. The same thing happens when I try to launch it from Origin.

I've tried a variety of fixes and spoken to EA support staff 3 times so far, and I'm willing to go back to them, but so far I've had no success. Honestly id appreciate any feedback or advice from anyone who has had a problem similar to mine. It frustrates me cause my friends copy which I gifted him works perfectly, while mine just refuses to work after all the attempts I have made.
