SimCity Offline Mode Launches Today

Oh, fantastic! Now it's one step closer to being on-par with Sim City 4! Just as soon as they fix the engine, increase the plot sizes and bring back the slightest hint of complexity.
Sorry Maxis. You were a huge part of my childhood but I can't give up my long standing EA boycott even for SimCity. Yes it finally works offline but I'm guessing you still need Origin to install it and that is never happening on any PC of mine.
Guess I always have Simcity 4 for when I feel like zoning.

I'm not sure why they bothered at this point, were they thinking this is going to rake in positive excitement like "See they listened to the community! They care!"
Which if that was the case, it, like Diablo 3 would not have sported an always online model with a bullshit coating of 'it's for community and online play'.
It's why Ubisoft has always been off putting, all their games used to sport always online DRM, limited installs and they claim protection, while pirates are having a laugh at all the idiots who actually paid for it with such nasty anti-consumer bullshit tacked onto it. (not supporting piracy just stating, they had it better than paying customers, which is the problem)

I just tried the offline mode and it works FLAWLESSLY! And the best part is that it doesn't put any additional load onto the computer and it still runs just as well either online or offline. I quite like this change and actually went out and bought the game once the update was confirmed in order to support them for finally fixing one of the major problems with the game.

So have they, i dont know, fixed the bugs, made city size actually be worth the name "city" or heck even fixed the broken game time engine? no? so its still broken by design i guess.
Except that these guidelines are not legally binding, and now with offline mode they cant even do anything about it if they wanted to.TheSYLOH said:
