[SimCity] The beta is coming back February 16 - Page 3

post #21 of 64
I called customer service about not getting a key when pre-ordering the game. EA customer service was very nice and told me that I didn't get selected and also stated that there was a little disclaimer somewhere during the checkout process stating that pre-orders are not guaranteed (though the advertising stated it). Regardless, I canceled my pre-order so I could re-order it with the new promotion of 20 bucks off your next purchase. Glad I called though otherwise I would have waited till beta closed hoping for an email.

The game is still a stinker. There's nothing revolutionary about it graphics wise or other that would require you to off-load the work to the cloud.

The city sizes are extremely limiting, they are literally forcing you to outsource your city utilities to other cities, eg making Sim City a multiplayer instead of the single player it was originally supposed to be.


I will not be buying this due to these conditions. Amongst other reasons people have stated.

However, if you don't mind being pigeonholed into a tiny city that has to rely on multiplayer functions to achieve your ideals, then this game is for you.

They aren't forcing you to play with anybody at all.

You can control ALL the cities in a region. If you want to/need to outsource anything, you can control both the city providing and the city consuming. Or you can invite/allow another person to control other cities and work together.

And just for the record, sharing utilities across cities in a region is not a multiplayer function. Its a core feature of SimCity that existed even in SC4.

The whole point of the server stress test beta is to find these issues before launch. Not so people can play a demo... doh.gif
