Girlzilla March 3, 2013 Share Girlzilla Member March 3, 2013 http://www.pcgamer.c...ity-size-maxis/ That better be a free update... ROFL. Someone's comment in that article: "THAT'S IT! My first tower/skyscraper will be called "EA Headquarters" and I WILL BURN IT TO THE GROUND.... you have forced my hand.

VooDooPC March 4, 2013 Share VooDooPC Member March 4, 2013 (edited) estimated arrival, march 12th... delivery date march 4th... someone shoot me Want to receive this the day it comes out? Order it in the next 5 hours and 35 minutes, and choose One-Day Shipping at checkout. If it makes you feel better I'll probably be on New New New Detroit by the time you get the game because I'll be so bad at it.

ZeroDamage March 4, 2013 Share ZeroDamage Member March 4, 2013 Guys, please let us all know how the game is. I had it preordered then canceled it after reading about the EA DRM junk. I want the game but that has me concerned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might just order a digital copy then sell this one for half price... I can't wait for a whole week :'( All you need from the delivery is the redeem code for origin, don't you ? Once you enter that in origin, you should be able to direct download it again in the future from it, right ? Because, if so...i might actually buy it off from you since its half-price, since i haven't yet lol Edited March 4, 2013 by Avengers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avengers March 4, 2013 Share Avengers Member March 4, 2013 (edited) unfortunately, redeem code is in the DVD that's only coming on the 12th I dont mind waiting till the 12th lol initially i was going to purchase the game, but after some research the negatives have won me over quiet a bit..... - Always-on connection to Origin (EA servers). - The presence of empty spaces not editable (useless empty spaces) with automatic road connections. - Absence of terraforming. - Absence of farms. - Not being able to save your maps on the hard drive (you will not be able to reload the city to a stage prior to disasters). - Airport City (the city is only one International Airport, occupying the entire map 2x2km). - Absence of subway. - Automatic road connections. - Player doesn’t have complete control over the zoning by population density (almost automatic zoning). - Size of the maps is 2km by 2km (small maps). - Not being able to control the regional transport. - Modding restrictions. - The developers of SimCity MIGHT end up expanding their maps per city ONLY if there casual players continue playing that too might be a paid DLC. Also since i see newer games coming out on the frostbite 2 engine which i am very excited for...i highly doubt people will stick to this game or specifically i will. @lousiest - PM me at some point, ill give the notion of buying it another thought tonight however let me know the price you would be willing to part it for, i just need the redeem code anyways, keep the CD lol Edited March 4, 2013 by Avengers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Girlzilla March 5, 2013 Share Girlzilla Member March 5, 2013 (edited) Well, somebody might find this amusing. My Monday night class is governmental and not-for-profit accounting. My professor mentioned "a game called Sim City" that he plays. He then proceeded to try to describe it to the class (it was one of the older Sim City versions) and how it was relevant to the chapter we had to read and I'm sitting there grinning like an idiot. Probably the only one because the other students in my class are poops. I wonder if my professor will give me extra credit for playing Sim City. ROFL. Just funny because my professor is not someone who I'd peg as a Sim City player. Edited March 5, 2013 by Girlzilla 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
