GameDynamo - I don’t mean to open up freshly-closed wounds and bring up the disastrous launch of the online-exclusive SimCity, buuut…
Some games force online-only measures onto people. It sucks! Especially when some titles, like these seven, 100% didn't need it.
The following is an excerpt from Chapter 5 of The Secret History of Mac Gaming, “Simulated.”
EA has something of a reputation when it comes to awkwardly handling much-loved franchises. Here are 7 that Screen Critics feel they ruined.
Need for Speed as well. Here's to hope that the new one will be a return to form for the franchise.
“Right now we have a team specifically focused on exploring the possibility of an offline mode," said Patrick Buechner, General Manager of Maxis’ Emeryville studio, on the game’s official website "I can't make any promises on when we will have more information, but we know this is something that many of our players have been asking for.”
It's funny how pirates have been playing this offline for months, so it can't be that difficult to implement :/
If they implement offline mode I will buy the game. Otherwise they know where they can shove their online only game.
