Fenix March 19, 2013 Share Fenix March 19, 2013 I think Diablo 3 still holds that title. Diablo 3's release was horrendous, but it only lasted maybe a few days at most. I don't even own this game and I heard of all the issues with SimCity from my buddies at work. All I can say is that I agree with JC that this is the worst game launch in history. Diablo 3 might be up there because of it's popularity among gamers, and it affected more people, but at least Blizz fixed the main issue right away. Valen you do have a point, but I think you're also adding in the fact that Diablo 3 bombed after the first couple months it was out. Most of that was due to progressive patch releases that had features that were promised when the game was released, like PvP. The auction house destroyed that game, but it wasn't a glitch as much as it was just features like the real-money AH that were promised but not released right away. On top of the over-priced items and low drop rates. SimCity on the other hand flat out doesn't work...which is way worse than Diablo 3's release.

Avengers March 19, 2013 Share Avengers March 19, 2013 Would have been nice to sell ME3 as a package and dragon age series too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VooDooPC March 19, 2013 Share VooDooPC March 19, 2013 EA Boss John Riccitiello Resigns Following SimCity Debacle The SimCity release may have been the nail in the coffin but it certainly isn't the biggest reason Riccitiello is resigning. Spending $200 million to create a Star Wars branded World of Warcraft clone is the biggest failing by EA in years, going from 1.7 million subscribers to below 1 million within the first 4 months and Free-to-Play within a year of release. EA's stock dropped 10% when they said how many subscribers they lost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ValenAlvern March 19, 2013 Share ValenAlvern March 19, 2013 He probably resigning before EA gets labeled as worst company of 2013, like it did in 2012 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Girlzilla March 19, 2013 Share Girlzilla March 19, 2013 (edited) I got Dead Space 3. I already have BF3, ME3 (xbawks), Medal of Honor (thanks lousiest), don't care for Need For Speed. Think I'm with you on this one. Going to pick Dead Space 3, even though never played 1 or 2. I have BF3 and ME3 and don't really care about the other choices. I was hoping they'd let me pick a DLC or two for BF3. Oh well, free is free. Edited March 19, 2013 by Girlzilla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pronouncemyname March 20, 2013 Share Pronouncemyname March 20, 2013 I got DS3... Simply because it was the highest priced game on the list... I don't even know if I'll bother downloading it. If I get Simcity, do I get free games? You have to register SimCity on Origin before March 25th. https://help.ea.com/article/simcity-something-extra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lookback March 20, 2013 Share Lookback March 20, 2013 All I can say is thank you Origin for creating a browser that prevents me from searching and forces me to scroll through 10,000 full games before I can find one with an opening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pronouncemyname October 18, 2013 Share Pronouncemyname October 18, 2013 Epic bump time! I've been playing a lot of Simcity the past couple of weeks, I honestly love this game. They fixed a lot of the problems it had at launch. What still sucks is that the game could be so much better (larger maps, one way streets, expressways and subways come on EA). Went ahead and demolished my old city in the GC #2 region and completely rebuilt it. I'm trying to simulate expressways with bridges, but its not working out so well xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackieChan October 18, 2013 Share JackieChan October 18, 2013 I've been waiting 6 months for my city to be fixed. Although the game was fun when it worked, it was one of my regretful purchases of this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avengers October 18, 2013 Share Avengers October 18, 2013 I will play this game, when they release the next version of Simcity. Compared to the future release, this one MAY make me happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
