Forced online is a fail to me. If the net goes down or whatever ya cant play the bleeding thing that is not good in my book. Also many people buy these for theif kids who either arent allowed online or just dont have it. My question is why fix what isnt broken. Leave it offline to play. Simple as that.

Maybe 9,950,000 are gold seller bots rest casual bored out of their mind players maybe

Simple way to get sales up..Longer games including high quality. More content not like the last what 4 FF games..Open world multi cities kinda like in FF7 - 9 stop charging more for less.

As long as people keep paying them greed money they will get worse and rob people more. Simple way to make this microcrapaction stop is stop buying from the greedy arse companies.

I am honestly over all this greed from game makers, I am totally over microcrapactions. Slowly thiis sort of thing will cause people to totally lose interest and not buy their nice looking short arse games (Mostly EA at this point) Until other game makers take a step back and look at a true customer loving company like CD Red (The witcher etc makers) and see how they GIVE its players HUGE content updates and such for free never asking for more after you buy the game and have the best of the best support.. The other companies who are greeding people with short games or rushed games both with DLC that should have been in the game from the start or already on disc or cmicrocrapactions will fail sooner or later.

Its a good start not the rest of EA just needs to do the same.

EA: SimCity offline mode 'didn't fit with our vision' with that said I say my money dont fit with your broken arse forced online DRM.

The graphics are meant to be that way 90% of the time you are in sewers what does this reviewer want all flowers and candy.? I agree the connection can be a paid rarely but not that much as are most mmo. Lowering a review score just because a game chooses to use cutscenes and text ..really?? kinda grasping at straws it seems. I been playing this from closed beta its great fun and hard.

I wont buy this game even tho I wanted to as I do not care to play online with others in a game like this I prefer the old sim city single player. I guess not preordering it was a very good choice as it has failed everyone. Free game bah probably the sims 1 haha

For once I feel the reviewer gave too high of a score this game is a near complete failure. EA is a failure. Greedy company tring to drag in all the money they can even by giving us a failed game. More so forced online is and will always be fail.
