good to see a real sim city game on the way. None of that sim city societies bullcrap, id rather eat my own face than play that game.

So on top of this game having to be always online it has day 1 dlc that is only for the limited edition. EA really knows how to keep their title as worst company.

DudeJets4093d ago

While I agree with the hate towards day 1 dlc. The online only thing doesn't bother me. The multi player side looks great and uses cloud so I can play even if my friend doesn't. Also it will help combat exe editors. So what's the downside.

exsturminator014093d ago

The always online aspect is limiting to a subset of the audience (slow/unreliable internet connections, people travelling, etc), but I'm more disappointed by the always multiplayer aspect. I don't have any friends picking up SimCity, and I don't want to make friends online or play with strangers. If I want to play alone, I miss out on regional challenges and am limited to a smaller, more specialized city because I'm supposed to have neighbors with complementary specializations. That's what the previews seem to be indicating anyway, won't know until release but the more I read about this game the less optimistic I feel. Fingers crossed this isn't the case and I can get my SimCity fix.

Some games force online-only measures onto people. It sucks! Especially when some titles, like these seven, 100% didn't need it.

You are either sort of young or very old and have memory issues.

Besides the internet can go down for various reasons.

Need for Speed as well. Here's to hope that the new one will be a return to form for the franchise.

Gaming1012435d ago

Dead Space was the worst ruining... micro transactions in a full price game, with co op that was mandatory to get all the story and access to certain areas. Sure Rock Band was oversaturated, and Burnout was basically killed off even though it sold a ton on PS3 back in the day.

indysurfn2435d ago

Wow kudos EA! no one can kill a franchisee like you can kill a franchises.

lptmg2435d ago

Sadly, Rock Band died because of Activision shoving one Guitar Hero every 3 months

Madden Football 2006-2018 2018-?

showtimefolks2436d ago

I want mercenaries 1 remaster

chrono12052435d ago

Or a reboot, with all the fun of the first one.

showtimefolks2435d ago

i agree i had a great time with the 1st game and a good time with the sequel

PhoenixUp2436d ago

Dead Space, NBA Live, & Rock Band

indysurfn2435d ago (Edited 2435d ago )

I really liked Burnout and Need for speed and thought no one will able to destroy this game.....I was WRONG!
