[PC] Boycott SimCity 5 (Societys)

So the fifth and if current indications are anythign to go by, the last SimCity game has been announced.
It's being developed by Maxis TILTED MILL STUDIOS! "Who the fuck are they?" I hear you ask. That's right, EA, has handed over one of the greatest and oldest PC/Mac franchises to some fucking STARTUP DEV. Wait that's not true, this developer did the universally panned sequel to the Caeser III, which of course wasn't that good to begin with.

So now they're going to sully a franchise people actually give a shit about.
I'm not buying it, and neither should you.


Where the fuck are we?

Mimetown is shit.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Cheers I'll fix that.

yeah sounds a lot liekthat trash City Life. and No, EA have MAXIS under their wing. you know that companyt hat managed to deliver 4 fucking awesome SimCity games. Jesus crists. This enough should be catalyst for Will Wright to take Maxis and Spore and jsut leave EA, fuck knows they make more money for EA than they get back. Then, we can see the REAL SimCity 5.

How ya doing, buddy?

Yeah SimCity DS only let's you save ONE CITY AT A TIME. Which is also a joke.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

In before "it was too hard"

If anything, I found SimCity 4 the easiest. Easier than 3000 which was easier than the unceramoniously exploding powerplants and ridiculous bond repayments of 2000

Worthy critisims fo SimCity4 are that the game was broken shipped, and while Rush Hour fixed it, it broke OTHER THINGS like making you be able to get money on a whim with the missions. The NetworkAddon mod made everythign much more awesome though.

True. I saw the statement as more "This gme was some otehr crap invovling towns but then we figured taht SimCity fags like RABicle will buy it if we put SimCity in the name."

You got that.

Yoot Saito left Maxis and developed it himself witha new developer and publisher. He was obviously so proud he named it afterhimself. It was released in like, I dunno the 90s. I hear it's EVEN HARDER.


But yeah, I'm still COMPLETELY HEARTBROKEN over this. I mean, Maxis are making motherfucking spore. Youc an't tell me that parts of that engine couldn't be modified to create a new, SimCity game that we're all dreaming of.

And I just feel that Maxis and the SimCity brand deserve better. I mena, Maxis have probably made more money for EA than ANY OTHER DEVELOPER they own. The obscene profits The Sims generates would fucking outstrip Madden surely. SimCity was the game taht made Maxis and clearly the game Will Wright holds most dear. And now some fucking startup with only a mediocre Rome themed SimCity clone to their name gets the franchise.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

The only problem with the Network Addon Mod is that like, well they've released a new version in the past fortnight or so. Can I really be bothered installing it again (no installer for mac) and then openign and closing each of my cities to let it take effect? Cos really, that's a lot of shit to do for what? Marginaly better performance?

If however someone can confirm for me that they fixed (or at least changed) monorails then I'll make teh effort.
