Offline Mode Coming Soon

[Griffon 19]

I haven't posted anything in a while, but I've been checking the simcity.com website and this one for info about when they will finally come out with that patch (I didn't think about checking twitter or facebook, but figured I'd just save time checking here first).

 

For the most part I've given up on SimCity since Banished came out (I logged over 200hrs in the first 2 weeks on Steam and got every achievement too).  I think Banished has more potential for modding than SimCity does (this one at least), not to mention I had more fun playing Banished than I did this SimCity and still not tired of playing Banished either, where with SimCity I got bored playing it often.

 

Sorry for the off topic comparison but I think Banished is so much better of a game already and there hasn't even been one patch yet (well there is a Beta patch for Banished that I'm using now).  There is only one guy that made the game and is working on the patches right now so the patches, DLC, and expansions would probably come slower.  He even said he'd release the full mod tools before the first DLC or expansion (right after he fixes most of the current bugs).

I really have high hopes for Update 10. I would love to play SimCity 2013 with extensive mods.

 

I really want to play Banished but I have to buy a steam gift card with cash in order to buy steam games anymore since I cancelled my debit card.

Quick question: Does Banished change with the times, or does it stay in one era, that is, does it get technologically advanced, or something?

It's amazing how much fun a game is when it's finished and it works.

I think mods at first will bring new buildings and fix little annoyances (like warehouse storage) but I would buy an expansion that would take the game a little further like allowing industry of sorts.
