  1. Will Wright calls EA’s server problems “inexcusable”

    cirugo commented on Dirktator's article in News

    I'm aware of that. He sat down for an interview with Ocean Quigley and talked it up and they used it to try to legitimize this version of the game. He should've just kept quiet.

    He saw it coming and yet allowed himself to be used to sell the game as is. thanks Will!

  3. SimCity Update 3.0 Coming

    cirugo commented on Dirktator's article in News

    nothing about toning down the agent-based simulation that's behind how drastically they had to cut back the scale of the game and also behind all of the traffic issues in the first place (and the small maps and so many other things people don't like)? Nothing about providing an offline mode when connecting to the servers has been a hassle since launch and people are still dealing with rollbacks? particularly when it's been shown over and over again that they lied about the reasons for the server connections? The game just needs to die.

  4. Sims 4 Announced For 2014

    cirugo commented on pcwhiz24's article in News

    with SimCity in the state that it's in they're plastering this announcement on the splash page for www.simcity.com really disgusting if you ask me. It's just another slap in the face.
  5. no one said that.

  6. Cheetah speed....not?

    cirugo replied to ForensicCRAFT's topic in SimCity (2013) General Discussion

    I have no way of knowing but let me tell you a story: Back in the early days of World of Warcraft, the developers were catching continual flack from players about latency. The latency indicator would turn from green to yellow and then red depending on your latency. What did they do? They changed the parameters for the indicator.

  7. The Workers of SimCity

    cirugo commented on I. Lostalim's article in News

    he actually admits to being behind this?
  8. not unless I don't need to connect to a server to play it. It's not an MMO.
  9. which is why we shouldn't support this one.
  10. there won't be a next version. Maxis killed the franchise with this one.
  11. anti-piracy is just the icing on the cake. they are moving to making games into a service rather than a product. they can monetize them, data-mine and sell your info, and sell you DLC much easier with this model of gaming. That's what it's all about...not providing a good game. Surprisingly enough, I don't object to any of that. what I object to is not being able to play when and where I want.
  12. More about Maxis/EA's lies about the game needing to be online: http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2013/04/22/the-power-of-silence-why-the-simcity-story-went-away/

  13. The Power Of Silence: Why The SimCity Story Went Away

    cirugo commented on Freddyeddy's article in News

    yup they lied. and they continue to do so.
  14. Brick and mortar stores, where they even exist anymore, don't have computer game areas...they have one or two SHELVES and that's it.
  15. instead they gave you stupid balls of twine and llama statues...
  16. i think the author was trying to be sarcastic which actually didnt come across well. i had to read it again just to be sure. If so then I agree with the article

  17. Question: Any major updates?

    cirugo replied to SimCityerMan's topic in SimCity (2013) General Discussion

    I guess you missed this? http://kotaku.com/buy-toothpaste-get-new-buildings-in-simcity-because-a-473994552 coming to a toothpaste tube near you!
  18. this guy thinks this DLC is actually worth taking the time to download. that invalidates everything else he says.
  19. yup. I actually bought that one and it was fun in its own way for a while.

  20. IGN: Cities in Motion 2 Review

    cirugo commented on Hellken's article in News

    I have yet to dig into it. Tutorial was next to useless and it's going to take my a while to get the hang of it. It seems to have a lot of potential though and you can't argue with the cost.

  21. New DLC, official info

    cirugo replied to CaribbeanSail's topic in SimCity (2013) General Discussion

    uh yeah, they're stupid and ugly and even If I HAD purchased the game I wouldn't put these in my city if someone PAID me to do it.

  22. Tourist Attraction DLC Preview on SimCity Brasil Facebook

    cirugo commented on Hellken's article in News

    why would anyone?

  23. EA Closing SimCity Social, Sims Social

    cirugo replied to macscfan's topic in City-Building Games

    How long do you think it will be before they shut down the SimCity servers?

  24. SimCity Social is Closing Down

    cirugo commented on tSlater's article in News

    anyone who buys SimCity after this announcement is NUTS! They close down simcity social after less than a year...and you think they're going to keep up SimCity itself if it's not profitable? server-based games are a BAD deal for customers unless they are specifically MMOs...which SimCity is not despite how badly EA/Maxis wants to believe it.

  25. Tourist Attraction DLC Preview on SimCity Brasil Facebook

    cirugo commented on Hellken's article in News

    remember they also featured that giant green thing over a sim's head as a park as a selling point for their deluxe edition... anyone who expects Maxis to fix this game is kidding themselves.
