Aint expecting much, honestly. Not after the absolute greedbomb disaster that was the most recent Simcity. That game came out *BAD*. And again, the greed factor from EA then just added to it.
As it is, I'm fully expecting the fourth Sims to be bloody horrible.
AS for SimCity I agree, I ordered the game even before the release, in fact, it is probably the most expensive game that I bought, I am not a rich person, but I had to have this game. SimCity 2000 was the first game in which I ever played, I got it from my uncle, along with used computer, on my 10th birthday. I'm a big fan of the SimCity series, but very disappointed when it finally installed. The game was simply unplayable, the servers did not work. The game just was released too early, And the maps are definitely too small in my opinion
Yeah, pretty much. Whole thing was a disaster. Sure wasnt just the servers that didnt work right. And the devs seem to NOT want to increase the city size, which is like THE thing that'd improve the game and make it better.
Granted, I aint played it in ages, so for all I know it might be a bit better anyway, but.... I doubt it. I only played it a little when it released, and then ended up finding and going with Anno 2070 instead (a bloody great choice, that).
I had loved and respected Maxis for a VERY long time, even going back to the ancient days of games like SimEarth or El-Fish (both of which I still have box + manuals for!), but now..... uuuuugh.
I aint gonna complain and say "Well they suck because all they do is the Sims now", because the Sims is a good game and I've followed it since the first one. But after Simcity 5.... ugh. Not sure that love and respect is there anymore. The old Maxis that I knew would never have put out such a thing. But the corruptive touch of EA is all-consuming, it seems.
