Elizabeth from VividGamer.com Writes:
"The closed beta for EA and Maxis’ SimCity ended yesterday. For those lucky enough to obtain a code, you have probably already put in some time. Others who might still be on the fence and unable to play the beta might wonder just what this upcoming city-management sim has to offer. We at Vivid Gamer managed to get our hands dirty with the weekend beta."
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.
I missed the beta but it's exciting to have a new Sim City title coming out. It is a shame about the always-on DRM and that you have to use Origin, though.
Hmm always online drm might get annoying at some point. But I do like that it ran well on a laptop if i ever wanted to play away from home.
The price for the deluxe version is far too high IMO. I only got to play it a little but it seems they've dumbed bits down like no more laying pipelines down.
Hm... Origin... I haven't bought or installed an EA PC game since they started with this BS.
i played the beta... im kinda diapointed on the smalll space you have to play your beta
