SimCity V (2013) - screens/artwork and information

Having to QUE for 30 minutes to get into a single player get only to be told its full and puts you back in a QUE....single player game...DOES NOT COMPUTE
 
Websites that have taken pre orders for the key themselves and not a physical copy, do they usually get sent out automatically at 12:01am or sometime during the next day?
 
I'm kinda amazed at how bad a job they've done. I remember when there were network issues during the beta they said its fine as this is one of the main things the beta is there to test, so they can get it right for launch. So ummm..

Exactly what I'm thinking. Sim City has always been a single player game so why the hell do we need to mess around with servers at all???

EA are obviously intent on ruining what was looking like a pretty good game. I played the beta and it was loads better than the tosh that was SimCity societies.

I've been looking forward to this for ages now (still play sc4), but I'm scared of buying and getting too involved if EA can seemingly pull the plug on the servers at any time :(
 
I'm off work tomorrow. I was planning to stay up until midnight, start the download....then play in the morning.

At this rate, I'll be amazed if I get to play at all tomorrow!

The sooner EA fold the better frankly.
 
Sorry, not been following this thread lately...

Am I right in thinking, you have to connect to a server just to play the single player game?

Or is this just to download the game?

The theory is that Cheeta speed is causing the servers to buckle due to all the simulation being calculated via the cloud and servers.

A new theory is thats why the cities are also tiny, due to them being server side.

but it often says disconnected from server attempting to reconect up in the top left and whilst thats happening often for 10+mins you still play as normal lol

Yep. To play this game at all, you need an internet connection.

Genius.

I would dearly like to meet the retard that thought of that.

There isn't a singleplayer mode, when you press play you have to choose a region which is like a shard on one of their servers.

You then get to choose to make it public or private/invite only, so yeah no singleplayer option.

Before all that though you have to get passed the launcher, which if they're servers are full or busy you can't launch the game.
 
I really hate it when I hear about a new game, and look forward to it, only to find out it's being published by EA. Thinking about not bothering at all just because I hate the hoops they make you jump through.

It was fun for the few hours I played earlier...

all these server issues and **** though atleast give people free dlc god dman city packs it's not like we can play them but its better than a massive great big wall of silence
 
I just feel dirty that I've actually paid money to EA. So I'm supporting them to make this crap!

I'm sure Maxis has done a great job on the game, but just typical EA to screw it up.
