How long has the game been out? How much more of a hit can EA take over this?

Yi-Long4051d ago

... this travesty of a release is still selling very very well.

So despite all the 'always online' crap, despite the DLC-milking that's already been announced, despite the smaller cities, and despite the horrible launch and other bugs and stuff that's just crap, EA can just shrug their shoulders, look at the sales, and say: "Hey, we did OK!"

.... which is ofcourse horrible.

As if the game wasnt unreliable enough...now you gotta watch out for a City destroying hacker too!

kostchtchie_4051d ago

can't wait to see the fun ways hackers destroy peoples city

Godmars2904051d ago

More like rebuilding them into pornographic shapes.

kostchtchie_4051d ago

ha ha, indeed

people will log in be like wtf how did that strip club get there

Godmars2904051d ago

Thinking more of having buildings grouped into boobs or a face, the streets phallic so that traffic is - coming and going all over the place.

Really, your icon's the Joker and all you can come up with is dropping a strip club or two here or there?

Shame.

cyclindk4051d ago

Game sounding a bit more interesting now oddly enough... where can I buy it?!

JKelloggs4051d ago

People are taking this the wrong way, this guy is finding out glitches, and not releasing them to people, because he is expecting EA/Maxis to fix it. Take it that way guys, not everyone's city is going to get destroyed over the next few days..

Godmars2904051d ago

Uh, he's giving warning that the hack is easy to do. That others will do 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.

Gaming1012429d 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.

indysurfn2429d ago

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

lptmg2429d ago

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

OldSchoolGamer692429d ago

Madden Football 2006-2018 2018-?

showtimefolks2429d ago

I want mercenaries 1 remaster

chrono12052429d ago

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

showtimefolks2429d ago

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

PhoenixUp2429d ago

Dead Space, NBA Live, & Rock Band

indysurfn2429d ago (Edited 2429d ago )

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