I don't count that. Every MMO is a debacle.Quote:

I'm talking about how much money EA wasted on its production.Quote:

Basically, the whole idea that you can follow a single sim through its day is kind of bullshit.
The guy's point is a bit more in depth than that but I'm kind of astounded to see how Maxis went with this new SimCity backbone, crippling the game's complexity in the process, when the final result is so lousy.Quote:
Now, here is where it gets really good... In the evening, when work and school lets out, they all leave and proceed to the absolute closest "open" house. They don't "own" their houses. The "people" you see are actually just mindless agents (much like the utilities agents, as I said earlier) making the whole idea of "being able to follow a 'Sim' through their entire day" utterly POINTLESS!!"
Then there's this interview with a Maxis employee which confirms that the game can very easily run offline, contrary to EA's claims about the master server being required to run various calculations.
I think everyone already knew this was true, but we're just waiting on Skidrow or whoever to offer the proof.Quote:

It also looks like SimCity lies about the population as your city grows: http://www.reddit.com/r/SimCity/comm...ulation_sizes/
It probably uses the same algorithm EA uses to report the number of Origin users.Quote:
