Graygor 1kB Realty 1kB Galactic 11912	Posted - 2013.03.08 02:34:00 - [1] - Quote I was really looking forwards to a new sim city. I've loved the series since the original Sim City back on the Amiga 500. (Yeah! Amiga!) But i knew, deep down, that it would be tainted by EA and DRM and issues gallore... So I held off buying it. But hey, I got Sim City 4 on steam at christmas for $4.99 + expansion pack and it runs just fine. "I think you should buy a new Mayan calendar.

Its getting to the point i look at older games for a new thrill before looking at new ones. Games stopped being made for love / passion and a nice profit that allowed you to do what you love. To being all about money. I think this happened around 2001. "I think you should buy a new Mayan calendar. Mine has muscle cars on it." --áKenneth O'Hara Post with your brainGäó

Bioware went downhill after it got bought out, same with Bullfrog, Maxis (as is now) is just like "Atari", its a name that bears no semblance to the original.

Oh and Cyberpunk 2077 but that isnt going to be out for ages. Honestly I agree with you Krix, why the hell does a single player game require internet connection?

Its a great game and fans of sim city 4 will love it. The only drawback is a lack of disastors. So its more a building sim than say sim city with its godzilla attacks? I can live with that. Next time its on steam sale ill snag it. "I think you should buy a new Mayan calendar. Mine has muscle cars on it." --áKenneth O'Hara Post with your brainGäó

Graygor 1kB Realty 1kB Galactic 12140	Posted - 2013.03.08 16:15:00 - [13] - Quote Command and Conquer 3 was an awesome game though. In my mind it is a worthy end to the series. "I think you should buy a new Mayan calendar. Mine has muscle cars on it." --áKenneth O'Hara Post with your brainGäó
Graygor 1kB Realty 1kB Galactic 12142	Posted - 2013.03.08 16:28:00 - [14] - Quote C&C4? I have no idea what you are talking about? Did they release a base building game? I do recall a game that was so abysmally bad that had the same name. But this must have been in error. To my recollection there have only been 3 quality command and conquer games in that series. Red Alert 3 wasnt bad... it just took the pee a tad too much. But the Japanese were hilarious. And you must be joking about the bad acting right? All the C&C games had crazy acting. Although Michael Beihn was good. But hiring **** stars... well what did you expect? "I think you should buy a new Mayan calendar.

BUT ill guarantee in 6 months everyone here will have played. They arnt gonna let it go down in flames, just testing the waters - waters were far better than they thought. I also hate always on games btw - however theyre fun when theyre on. I can guarantee that i wont be buying it, mostly because i don't see the point, too many drawbacks for it, not enough appeal. Id rather be stuck playing simcity 3000 then the new one. I liked 3000, yes there are some improvements, it looks nicer. But always online? strike one. Need origin? strike two, and if after a few years the servers go down? no game and strike three. Pretty much same for me. I wish origin didnt exist. For all the negatives steam at least doesnt stink of EA taint. Same for ubisofts UPlay. Thats 10 times worse than origin. "I think you should buy a new Mayan calendar.

I wonder what "wonderful" games will be available. I hope for command and conquer 4. Just to rub salt in the wound. "I think you should buy a new Mayan calendar.
