The new SimCity had a troubled launch, with the EA servers not withstand the amount of players that besides having difficulty accessing the game had problems with their saves, which resulted in a few hours of play completely lost. For some days the air was the feeling that this "reboot" of the series could be a failure, just like the last games of the series were.
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 think this review was a tad bit generous. I would have given it a 7.5, just because of the sheer number of features they took out from the last game alone.
So... have the bugs been worked out yet? I want to try it, but don't want to spend the money if it isn't working yet.
I wouldn't even care about the launch problems if the game was decent. It's frankly shocking how horribly limited and restricted this game is. Went from a sandbox to a play pen.
