Each time theres something different that spoiles my fun. Is it bad traffic AI or trading issues or improper loading. It doesnt matter, its just the fact that theres so much wrong which annoys me. | ||

I'm still not sure how to solve my 'wares not exporting' problem from earlier. Actually the solution would've been to add a ship yard to the trade port, but since I can't reach the 800k export income required for unlocking it and the respective freight containers, I'm probably out of luck... I only have one highway connection into the city and at least the incoming traffic is pretty heavily used. The outgoing lanes are still quite accessible without any traffic jams. | ||

I just wish cheetah speed would be added back and the source code would be opened up (which they said they would) | ||

Already have BF3, ME3, SC4 Deluxe (got it for 3€ on steam when it was on sale) As you said, Bejeweled and Plants vs. Zombies are quite WTF NFS:MW isn't that old (I think it was released october 2012), but not into racing very much. MoH Warfighter, well I already have BF3 to fill for that type of game. | ||

Hilarious this whole bullshit will end up costing them more than piracy ever could. Even though some may say that this will expose people to other EA brands that otherwise wouldn't of purchased it that might now purchase it in the future. So does piracy except you don't have to complete fuck up a game release for that. | ||

That said, I'm grabbing ME3. I never bought that game considering its degraded business development from ME1 - empty and stripped base game to make room for DLC, on-launch DLC instead of in-game features (which in effect increases production time for no added benefit for the basic customer), as well as Origin only. Of course, what I'd really would have wanted, was a fucking working game with single player possibilities for those warm, slow summer nights out at my family cabin. I'm still very bitter about this game, and trying to buy my graces with a game, which ultimately will net them DLC profits from some of the people who recieves it as a gift, is in no way softening my spite. | ||

Anno games are much more complex than sim city on the infrastructure point, and add in very complex resource management. 1404 was the best of the series with essentially the need to build two cultures on one map and manage the flow of resources from one to the other. 2070 is significantly more simple with a bit more focus on combat. Sim city was always more about finding a perfect balance of population happiness and city services. SC4 is much more complex that it's decade junior. Just the city itself is about 16x the area. But hopefully once Maxis finishes with this "beta" version and gives us a fully-featured release, it will have been worth it. The free game is awesome. It gives players something to pass the time while maxis works on finishing the game! | ||

I do think bejeweled 3 lol the rest are pretty good choices. TBH ionno what i could get off that list i have ME3 and all DLC, have NFS:MW have SC4 have PlantsVZombies Have BF3, only things i don't have off that list is bejewled dead space 3(i don't really care for horror/thriller games) and MoH(Why would i play that when i have BF3) and i don't want bejewled lol... I guess i'll settle for Dead space 3 just to have it..

Not really SC4 without any mods is probably less complex then SC5, Size is irreverent in SC4 without mods because of how the logic is done. Just move over a couple blocks and it might as well be a different city agent actions were extremely limited. And All SC5 got rid of was things that couldn't be visibly seen, ie the things that only existed on graphs. SC4 with mods is hands down a much more complex and intellectually interesting game. | ||
