At its core, SimCity seems to be a quality entry in the city-building franchise. However, extreme functionality issues have led legions of angry buyers to give the game less-than-stellar reviews on Amazon.
Some games force online-only measures onto people. It sucks! Especially when some titles, like these seven, 100% didn't need it.
The following is an excerpt from Chapter 5 of The Secret History of Mac Gaming, “Simulated.”
EA has something of a reputation when it comes to awkwardly handling much-loved franchises. Here are 7 that Screen Critics feel they ruined.
Need for Speed as well. Here's to hope that the new one will be a return to form for the franchise.
1,000 well deserved 1 star reviews...
I'm glad to see that DRM is working out for you...
/s.
EA: "Just that pesky vocal minority, SimCity is spectacular!"
You know its coming.
Believe in the power of Karma. This is gonna come back to bite EA on the a**.
And of course we get the people who say "we told you so", but bought the game anyways just to complain, smh. I don't feel sorry for anyone who bought the game day one and can't get it to work. It's a common thing for games like this to have problems day one, especially if it's all based on inter-connectivity.
