When SimCity released last year, Electronic Arts made it very clear that an offline mode was impossible. And the fans raged. EA finally crumbled under the mad horde and announced 10 months after the game released that EA Achieves the Impossible - SimCity in Offline Mode. So here we are today, a year later, and city builders finally have their offline mode..
Do they even still care to have one though?
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!
Way too late now.
Wait, what, only now?? no thanks, I think i'll stick with Sim City 2000, at least that allowed bigger cities and stuff...
