Not going to buy it from Origin nor pay for DLC. They want to go back more to the complexity of Sim2000 as far as I remember, SimCity 4 was really bloated and I hated the water system, placing pipes everywhere and stuff. I didn't really enjoy that. | ||

The video looked good, but I hate all this Online-Only thing for nearly all EA Games. Mass Effect 3 MP and the intregration in SP was a joke and I bet it will be the same in SimCity. I bet you will be forced to trade with your "Online-neighbor"-Cities etc... | ||

If Blizzard made a "Steam" I would get it for SC2, but for Fifa? No way! | ||

If they pull the plug on the clients you'll basically lose all your games even if you have paid full retail price for a game. The "best" thing would be if people actually came to their senses and stopped using steam and origin all together and just go the gog route and such. | ||

Publishers want control, they want to see what, when and with whom you play. -_- | ||

You can't replace a subway with a streetcar (trolley train) -__- Subways moves significantly more passengers than a streetcar and not to mention, they're significantly faster without having to delay traffic. | ||

The new engine doesn't support those type of underground mechanics. The removal isn't all that bad, it allows for more focus on the supply and demand aspects of your cities. also if your looking for what is and isn't confirmed check out these 2 threads: http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/posts/list/8910073.page http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/posts/list/9038027.page | ||

I guess it that's why it routs all the utilities stuff through roads. Please though, after ruining Battlefield and C&C this is the last franchise EA has left that I enjoy ;_; | ||
