I just blame EA for any bad things that happens in any games or in the industry. Then I feel better after :)

I do hate to agree on that bit about the review score being a bit low because any time a Battlefield game is released it has server issues for the first week.

This guy cracks me up, keep up the good work you filthy brit. And yes anyone who buys EA at full price is a moron, if you pay over 4.99 for any of their games, yes you got it, you're a moron.

The one guy was right about this new generation of gamers not having enough balls or patience to weed out bad gaming companies, this wasn't a problem 20 years ago, back then it was software issues, mainly a crappy windows platform, which btw really only took them 20+years to finally get a working stable platform, Kudos to another crappy company named Microsoft. With companies like MS and EA who needs the proverbial enemy.

I've almost gotten to the point now, where gaming doesn't appeal to me anymore, which is sad for me, because now I have to get a life and go into the sun and I'm not digging that.

@boomer0901 "Kudos to another company named Microsoft who's made it possible for gaming, and yet I'm likely on Windows, and yet I'm on a gaming website, and yet it doesn't appeal to me anymore cause microtransactions make me weely saaad" It's still practically winter dickhead, i can't get any sun. And if you were to be digging you wouldn't get any sun at all, so you contradict your resolution.

EA is now offering free game downloads for who ever downloaded SimShitty. They are BF3, Dead Space 3, Mass Effect 3, Medal Of Honor Warfighter, Simcity 4, Need For Speed Most Wanted, Bejewelwed 3, Plans Vs Zombies. Which one should I get? SimCity 4 is 10 times better then 5. :D But I prefer getting my money back!!! SimCity5 maps are freakin to TINY!!!!!

a side effect of having a larger gaming audience means that not all of them will be knowledgeable enough to know when theyre getting ripped off... slowly but surely EA will chew through the good will of its current buyers

Welcome to feedbackula! Where gamespot's videoplayer is still utter shit and lags so if you couldn't stand the voice of mine and many other coworkers from gamespot, you'll be happy to hear that each syllable i say comes after every 20 seconds! Also a lot of this video is us making impressions of comment-ers and add in our own commas so that we can waste some more of your time. "If you don't like it don't watch it." **** off

I am about to make a comment that is completely/kind of off topic, feedbackula is a rip off of points of view (not in a bad way I loved that show) with Anne Robinson, okay that show was about TV shows but it is basically the same concept. Is Johnny related to Anne Robinson in some kind of weird lovechild kind of way, I only ask because he has the same persona and screen presence that she had in the show. Check out YouTube for old video's on points of view and you will be able to see the similarity.

Putting the DRM aside, correct me if I'm wrong but, while you can technically play an 'individual' city in offline mode, you still need to be connected to EA servers in order for region play to work. so if you are offline while connected to the region, your cities won't communicate with each other properly. This is going by what EA told u before launch (not that i trust them) but also from personal experience playing the game.


Also, i don't know why people are complaining about map size, the map size is perfect considering that one city is not meant to do everything.

Does anyone else notice that nearly everyone who defends this game has trouble making legible sentences? Any other company in a different market sector that put out as many defective products as EA would have gone under long ago.

Providing feedbacks and reviews serve as a vehicle for improvements -- doesn't make sense to wait for patches before providing reviews as the best kind of feedback are immediate constructive ones.

There should be a Mega Man or Mega Man X feedbackula after all those cancelled games in a row!

Oh sob it to hades, drama queen. I have been playing this game for 40 hours, yes it has it flaws, but what game doesn't? They said they will not give the offline mode, so live with it. Most of people complaining, actually don't even buy the game, just jumping into bandwagon, just like ME 3 ending, it kinda a thing at first, but then EA/Maxis start to make it better and better, yet you still complaining about exactly the same thing. Yes you rubbing salt in the wound, just like a bitch you are.

@KrizardXV Thousands of people had problems with this game at launch but you're the one guy that feels the need to defend it so i'm guessing you're a troll. It's people like you that keep shady companies like EA going.

@KrizardXV I am glad you enjoy paying for a product that did not work till two weeks after launch. I am also happy you like aspects of a game forced upon you. Furthermore, I am really glad you enjoy bending over for a company like EA. Here is your cookie.

@Jallakebab What Mass Effect 3 debacle, what are you talking about? That wasn't always online and the MP worked from day one (and is actually still one of the best MPs out there).

@Jallakebab

I gave in to ME3 but not Diablo 3, Anno 2070 (when it had always online DRM), MoH War Fighter, CoD MW2 and on, yearly sports games, Dead Space 3, RE6 or now this (Sim City). ...Always online DRM is probably the fastest deal breaker for me.

people need to grow a pair

stop funding EA/activision/ubisoft and buying games from companies who actually care about their customers

if each and every one of you guys will stuff buying their products they will lose less money and fall on day (in the future maybe)

but still you people just need to make a true gamer oath: we fight against greed, hell and wallet rape

we are white the white knights. praise our true intention to make the gaming world a better place for everyone
