Awesome, all my thoughts on this game compressed into 5 mins !!!!

I really cannot understand why so many people defend EA over these decisions. The only thing they got right was a poo map lol.

I haven't played a SimCity game in years...

Maybe I should get 4, since that's widely considered as one of the best?

Because their heads are inserted so far into their own rectums, they sniff farts and think they are smelling cake?

Or you could get Tropico 4 and deny EA some more money.

You should grab 4, I have been playing that and Tropico instead of this new one. If you play 4 install NAM and CAM mods. NAM makes the traffic work properly and CAM allows for bigger and better buildings (eventually). I cannot believe the amount of still active content creators there are still about for Sim City 4

That is the most level headed review I have heard actually. Everyone wants to talk about the little tiny things the game does that is "amazing", when the reality is that it offers slightly less than SimCity 4 unless you're looking for online features... which from what I understand not too many people are. And it's not because they aren't halfway decent features when they work, it's because other games offer much more robust online features, though not in a city building game.

This may have been the slowest Zero Punctuation I've ever seen...

I would think about hazarding "most sarcastic," too, but there's a lot of competition for that.

You'll hear from a lot of old-school SimCity players that say 2/3000 was the pinnacle of the series, but I don't quite understand why. SC4 did everything those games did better and did it's own things well too.

SC4 still has an active modding community, and still manages to look pretty good (minus the silly portraits of the advisers). A big complaint is that it's pretty hard, which it is at first.

Honestly, I'm impressed their word filter is complex enough to catch something like "Dogbollock". It's just a shame they didn't put that effort into something less pointless.

Your web show does not invalidate the point about extroverts. Loved the video.

Damn, you beat me too it LadyRhian.

Well, glad to see he took a basebat to EA and this games kneecaps for the sheer nerve they had to say that they know how we want to have fun. No you fucking don't EA, you haven't in a very long time.

"Gonna burn thy honky ass."

Oh Yahtzee, that line made my day and maybe my week. I needed a good laugh this morning and that did it. :D
