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.
i meant what to gain from this knowledge, this list, whats the point of it why make it why should i know these games, sure yeah i do recall some games needing me to be online even to play single player but, why should i know this "seven times" thing
You are either sort of young or very old and have memory issues.
Besides the internet can go down for various reasons.
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.
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.
I really liked Burnout and Need for speed and thought no one will able to destroy this game.....I was WRONG!
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
