Not sure, just assumed that's what everyone saw. Confused
I haven't changed anything. Its been that way since I installed. Maybe its a US thing? I know me and my friends can all see the same ones, we was talking about them the day we picked one to goto.

Its pretty much confirmed Simcity V is a disaster. DRM alone is one *ULTRA* disaster, the other is real backward bone-headed design decisions they made like in Aliens: CM..

Quote:
I played it last night for the first time since release date. Got a task from one of my citizens to let them party, and ensure I collect all their trash. Seemed an easy way to make 25k simoleans, no lie. The task had me collect 250 cans of garbage in 24 hours. I received the quest about an hour before they would collect their garbage for the night. The people only generate garbage twice a day, and only 170 a day at my current population level. So I obviously failed this impossible quest.

The traffic simulation is awful. The pedestrians on a sidewalk slow down traffic in the street, because they drunkenly wander into it. They also do not cross on a schedule,as there are no lights. They just walk across whenever they feel like it, 9 times out of ten blocking traffic.


Also, what happened if the server or your Inet connection goes down when you are building your city? Mad Or what happens in 3-5 years when they decide to shut the servers down and you basically now have a bricked game? FCUKING GAMES THAT TIE TO ONLINE ALL THE TIME!!!

An EA spokesperson has denied these claims saying, “We would never stoop so low as to hire Chinese spammers to post positive spin about SimCity’s always online requirement. There is no reason to since the always online requirement is a good thing.”


I guess he's also Chinese? Laughing

That's the best part. EA themselves are spinning it that having the game be always online is a good thing. They are doublespeaking this shit up so hard.

@DXWarlock This shot was not from me.
I don't have my "cheap" key right now, maybe tomorrow.
The user experienced hardtime to download the game, then he wasn't able to pass the tutorial and then all servers said "Buzy".

So this could explain the 2.7% positive user feedback on metacritic Mr. Green


Pfff, they just should have made the sandbox mode full offline at least ... EA

The funny part is, they claimed they learned after the Blizzard's Diablo3 launch and that they will not do the same mistake...

Well done.

This is worse then Diablo 3. Two days after launch you could generally get into D3 and not have issues. Not to even mention the fact that D3 itself was a shit *game*.

Two days later and still can't do shit with this game. Now that the game has full release it's really bad. All of the servers are busy (Or show available, but you can't connect), and even if you manage to get in EA has turned off certain services like the leaderboards, inviting friends, etc..

It's a fucking joke. Get a refund if you can and buy a month from now if you still want to play it.

And now they say this !
So why is the damn sandbox mode not offline gameplay ?

I was about to cancel my preorder but ...

Amazingly there is only rare places left to find a limited edition around 40€ (I got mine at 32€)
All the other key stores are out of stock !



This is quite scary Shocked

Servers hard times are certainly mean to last for some weeks Sad
Why are so much people buying this ?
Oh wait, it is a good game after all Smile

Err... I finally got into the actual game at trinity point... and it says that I must connect to the highway before I can place residental areas...
The thing is, the highway does a bend in my region... and I tried doing some crossings from it to deeper inside my region, but I'm just not allowed to place any residental areas.

I've now spent all my money building roads EVERYWHERE on the map and still says that the highway is not connected. Razz

Lol.... I had to unpause my game to advance the 'quest' Razz

Well, this was to be expected from EA.


"Enlightenment is man's emergence from his self-imposed nonage. Nonage is the inability to use one's own understanding without another's guidance. This nonage is self-imposed if its cause lies not in lack of understanding but in indecision and lack of courage to use one's own mind without another's guidance. Dare to know! (Sapere aude.) "Have the courage to use your own understanding," is therefore the motto of the enlightenment."

Thats not true. One week before the release of Sim City, all sellers reduced the delivery quota because EA promised to much copies. Next Problem was that some "EU-versions" from Spain for example had only Polish, Russian, Hungarian language, so most key-shops cancled all pre-orders.
