  1. RK-Bystricka cesta

    fiver commented on michal27278's file in Residential

    Looks excellently and gorgeously ugly - 5/5! THanks a lot!

  2. Orakarn Building

    fiver commented on on001222's file in Commercial

    I'm not quite into Bangkok style buildings, but this one looks very nice and useful. Thank you very much for your work and sharing! 5/5

  3. The Pactagon (NAM Infrastructure Solutions)

    fiver commented on MandelSoft's file in Commercial

    Wow this is so cool!!! Looks - and is - excellent! 5/5

  4. Can't find it?... Ask here!

    fiver replied to JakeMD's topic in SC4 - Custom Content

    I'm sorry I can't understand which building you mean exactly...

  5. BNL Cloverleaf Insurances

    fiver commented on MandelSoft's file in Commercial

    Might be a good college or uni too. The SC4DESC file is actually not needed, right?

  6. Post Office

    fiver commented on KHRYSTOF's file in Civic & Non-RCI

    They look nice, thanks! Do they work like libraries in the game?

  7. Paeng's PURe No06

    fiver commented on paeng's file in Commercial

    This relot is my favorite of the series so far 5/5

  8. SimCoug's R$$ Diagonal Homes

    fiver commented on SimCoug's file in Residential

    Wow. If it works as described, then it's another "little revolution" and further brilliant development of SC4! Diagonal growables are what we've been dreaming of, so the next steps would be growable diagonal residential and commercial buildings of bigger sizes, right? Anyways, it's definitely 5/5!

  9. Lukoil Service Station

    fiver commented on Krio's file in Commercial

    Huh! Lukoil :-))) Very nice, thank you! (btw, the lot is 2x3, not 2x2)

  10. Piggyback Freight Car Fix

    Thank you! Size much needed. 5/5

  14. NYBT 4 East 59th Street

    fiver commented on Darknono35's file in Commercial

    Beautyfully ugly at day and just beautiful at night. Thank you! Is it 2x3 or 1x2? Hard to tell from the picture. The only thing I'd whish it had a version for W2W on both sides.

  17. Maxis to RPS: SimCity servers 'not necessary'

    fiver commented on Gurning_Chimp's article in News

    Lucy Bradshaw isn't EA, she's "Maxis’ studio head". Therefore every time she lies, she does so on behalf of Maxis. That is why some people at Maxis are not happy to look like liars too.
  18. Thanks for the opportunity to sign against DRM in SimCity.
  19. I love it when people come up with analogies like this. The truth is this happens in manufacturing all the time. Cheap or even expensive products built purposely with cheap parts. It's a way to keep generating sales when those parts break, either people get their moneys worth or they don't, and rate accordingly. What happens when the gas pump goes dry? Your 30k car wont be much good then will it? They don't go around shutting down pumps because that would be bad for business. You rely on their service when you buy a product and you know it upfront. You have the choice as a consumer to buy and take the chance it will keep running or not purchase it. If one assumes that "something happens all the time", that doesn't mean it's always been like that or should be like that at all. When you buy a car from a car dealer, you're not obliged to go (or call or log on) to that dealer every time you want to start the car, are you? That would be absurd to even think of it now. But it might become a reality years later (why not, if we agree to buy something we can use only if the seller's servers are on?). This article explains the concern over DRM pretty well: http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2013/03/11/simcity-is-inherently-broken-lets-not-let-this-go/
  20. I agree. The game should've been boycotted as soon as the always-online restriction was forced upon the player. Pity there are enough people who will to "give it a chance". Thanks to those, EA has a chance to win.
  21. Question 5: When SimCity servers are taken down in a few years, will an offline mode patch be distributed? Perhaps before then? Answer: We have no intention of offlining SimCity any time soon but we'll look into that as part of our earning back your trust efforts. The only thing I'd reply to her is, "Then good bye, I hope you'll be fired soon" :-| Do not be naive, please -- right now she is saying anything to temper down the boiling rage of the buyers. Anything that might seem genuine and making you think she's promising you something while in fact there's no proof she does. The only believable promise is "no offlining any time". Each reply is pre-calculated becasue they are well aware of what they'd be asked. I wish they put as much time and effort in really thinking of their customers (or at least in pre-calculating how many servers they'd need). Bad technical side but excellent PR. A month or so ago they masterly managed to lull the concerns of many as to how the launch would be. Needledss to say, they lied. And look now: the same people come up with the same "genuine lullaby" and very convincingly say that this time they will definitely do all right and you all will be happy. Because they know that people actually want to believe that...

  22. Maxis: A SimCity Update - And something for your troubles

    fiver commented on Dirktator's article in News

    I guess she is as "genuine" when she advocates the 'always online' and the castrated 'SimCity2013'? People who perfectly know why 'always online' is no good for consumers and yet willingly agree to advocate that, are already liars, a priori and de facto. The rest depends on their ability of lying to your face and artfully pretend being "genuine".

  23. Maxis: A SimCity Update - And something for your troubles

    fiver commented on Dirktator's article in News

    So, the only reason for this catastrophy is that people who bought the game did want to play it? I'm speechless. That "reasoning" is beyond the levels of stupidity I would expect from those people. The situation is even worse than I thought. Those at Maxis who sincerely believe the words they've said in that update above, should be fired immediately.

  24. Simcity gets Blessing of Series Creator Will Wright

    fiver commented on jacksunny's article in News

    Is that supposed to make people feel better?

  25. Internal Maxis memo outlines SimCity stabilization efforts

    fiver commented on Dirktator's article in News

    She and that guy (Katsarelis or something) should be fired immediately.
