Where is the cheerleader squad to tell us what an awesome perfect diamond of a game this is and that all those flaws we see are just figments of our imagination?

Simcity is going downhill so fast it's beyond comical. We all knew it was going to be shit with always on DRM, we knew they were dumbing the game down, we knew EA lied, yet there are those who just can't resist going throat deep.

the game is still screwed on the server side, and while they're cleaning that up we find out that the rest of the game is just utter shit from one end to the other.



There just isn't even enough time for all the "I told you so"s that need to be said.

I'm betting 2014 simcity reboot. EA will quietly turn off the servers on this complete fucking disaster and launch some kind of shitty facebook game.

This clusterfuck of a game just gets worse day by day, nothing shocks me now, certainly nothing as regards EA.

Well, that truce we made not to insult the people, but instead to insult the game itself while in a game thread...didn't last long did it?

Btw, if anyone has problems with water, i found out (yes im not very smart) that you need to have your water pumping station near your sewage treatment plant for infinite amounts of it, instead of digging for water all over the place Rolling Eyes .

Dude, I've been saying that for like a year at least. All the "wait and sees" I got during that time.. haha.

On the facebook page, some people are reporting EA is scrubbing the page of any negative posts and people posting links to articles talking about what a pile of shit the game is.



what a great image I found when searching for "down the toilet"..

Doh! Why didn't I ever think of that? Thx! Great tip! Cleaning up your neighbours shit just became alot more interesting!

I think EA needs to do some serious "bugfixing" when they are all done fixing the servers that should have been there a month ago. Still, heaving heaps of fun with it (even without a sore throat) Razz

BTW, do my neighbours profit from my services when offline? I maxed out all my public services on NFO3 and was wondering if you guys profit from it when i'm not there.

apparently modding simcity is possible now and this man has edited out the disconnect timer so you can run the simulation indefinitely without a server, but the rest of the requirements for cracked play shouldnt be unreasonably hard.

I dunno if you're my neighbour, but yes, the ones you are connected to, benefit from what you have and vice versa. even when offline.

What does it matter if millions bought the game anyway. EA will apologize and "win back the trust", and the same shit will happen next time. Gamers are not learning animals.

i think its more a mix of :

What EA asks for (always on, server side stuff to prevent cracking)

and Maxis "cheating" EA, by basically not doing anything (because its probably just not possible or at least not feasible lol).


I have no doubt, that EA wanted them to make a lot of things "server side" (calculations etc), because they don't want anyone to crack/emulate it. But it seems as Maxis (maybe because of lack of time or whatever), cut corners left and right and rushed the product out, hoping (or rather ignoring) that nobody would find out.

Things like :

Nothing is actually computed server side,
Sims have zero ai behavior and are simply trickle down clones (as explained).
False pop. counter
Everything is broken to the very core and its simply a "visual city builder without anything behind it".

Its like a paint program for a village.

Are You Serious Mind Is Full Of Fuck LOL

Sorry I couldn't resist Very Happy

I love this thread, and the development of simcity

Aww Yeah


BUT if a simcity modder has already figured out a way to play it offline, how come we have not seen a crack yet ? Can't be far off ?No I'm not playing that, I'm curious.
