but yeah, it's just like EA to announce an expansion pack slash DLC before the actual game release

Thanks for including the context.

Well done blocking me. Whatever, you're going to be back soon.

Thanks for including the context.

It probably was the usual ''origin sux'' bandwagon stuff

[Tudoreleuu]

It was probably because MrLol seems to agree with the game+DLC being 70 loving dollars.

The game itself looks awesome but EA is just trying to stuff as much money out of it as possible.

Remember how with simcity 4 rush hour expansion you had to buy the base game then all of the styles separately?

No? It came with 4 of them? Really?

Place your bets on the next course of action from EA:

My guess: another DLC for more american buildings, another one for being able to drive vehicles (again), another one to fix a stuffload of vital bugs, and about 5 expansion packs which only contain filters.

EA is making it so hard for me to want this game. I really want to play it but all this bullstuff they do is making it so much more difficult.

I thoroughly enjoyed the beta, even if it seemed more like a demo.

Honestly wouldn't be surprised.


I don't even want to pay more than $30 for it.  It's a great game, it's greatly designed, but knowing EA I do not want to have to even deal with the in-game advertisement bullstuff too.

My roommate think simcity number 5, I told him... not have 5 such thing, just simcity.

Say that again?

his roommate is equally as deficient #burn


The game will feature a "sandbox" mode, where you will be able to basically start with a stuffload of money, give yourself more money, disable disasters/etc. and everything to make it more relaxed for yourself.  The downside:  You will not be able to participate in leaderboard challenges, affect the global market (still can buy/trade/etc. but just will not impact global prices I think), and you will not earn achievements.  It is multiplayer capable so you and your friends can enjoy sandbox mode together.

It's still obviously kept online though.

it technically is simcity 5, considering the last one was 4.

Did you just use technically to mean the exact opposite of technically.
