Yeah, there's a lot of obnoxious bugs still floating around. I've all but given up on the game until they turn Cheetah back on and get the more glaring issues fixed. Am I the only one who would happily take an HD update of SimCity 4 over this game any of the day week?

I know I'm not the only one, but I really have the urge to get this game... Just not in the state that it is in now. Just trying to imagine it not in the hands of EA...

Same here, for some reason I have an urge to buy the game even though I hear almost nothing but complaints. I'm proudly forcing myself not to buy it though because I honestly think it's downright wrong that EA are making a profit of something they've botched so hard. At this point, I doubt I will buy it even if they fix all the remaining problems.

Ive given up on SimCity yesterday. I tried to stick with it and see the positives but its just impossible to play normal.
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.

So today is the day of the free game they're giving out. Let's see what we get

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.

Well, the game is despite the bugs still super addictive. I just wish cheetah speed would be added back and the source code would be opened up (which they said they would)

I am just waiting for the tpb version, then when the game is on sale and bug free i may buy it.

Only one sensible choice for me -> Dead Space 3

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.

Glad to see they didn't cheapen out on the games they offered at least. Reason Bejeweled and Plants vs Zombies is on that list is simple, not everyone who bought Simcity is a 15-30 year old male. I'm sure a bunch of people will pick those two up. Hell Plants vs Zombies is an awesome game and even my ass is looking forward to the sequel in a couple of months.

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.

Mass Effect 3 without any DLC is worth ~5€. Battlefield 3 without DLC is worth 10$. And the rest is crap and isn't even worth Pirating for free.

Plants vs zombies are a good game for what it is but you have been able to pick it up for dirt cheap for ages now and in production value it's not even close.

Oh the irony - when the SimCity facebook released that link, the servers couldn't handle the requests, and shut down. I can't help but love how toroughly useless it feels as if their networking crew is.

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.

Great news and is actually a nice deal, some of those games are awesome especially dead space 3! but thanks to this whole tragedy i have discovered Anno games, probably will buy simcity5 when i am bored with all of them i guess and by then it better drops its price to a tenner!

I was hoping for an Xbox 360 game actually. I don't ever want to use Origin again. I will probably grab DS3 even though I don play horror games or single-player RPGs.

Kinda saddening I'm gonna grab a free game and prob never play it, like how I bought Simcity5 and played it once since launch.

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!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Need_for_Speed:_Most_Wanted_(2012_video_game)
It's not old and it's pretty good game abit short but good.

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.
