Simcity 4 is one of my favourite games of all time. Was highly disappointed with Simcity Societies. Hope this one is more like Simcity 4.
BTW your first link is not working

My favourite SimCity is SimCity 2000 though. It was compatible with SimCopter :)

This new one looks cool , lets see how it pans out.

SimCity 4 was great. SimCity 2000 was good but felt outdated. I'm gonna try Simcity social in FB though.

The real sad part is its by EA..So you guess what can happen.Yea.Just the way they spoilt sims,they'll do it to simcity to.
Probably.If you want this buy a 1000 dlc :(

I really liked the gameplay.
But is it really worth say 1000?
For me i say No! under 400? Then probably yes!

lol... You ready to pay thousand bucks or more for those fps titles which have little replay value, and here we are talking about that type of game where you can keep on playing for months and even years.

And DLCs are here to stay, like it or not. (Even I don't like)

Skud i agree with you, But i don't like the way EA does it.
Besides FPS titles have Multiplayers.
So not going OT.
Heres what EA did to Sims, Sells sims at 1000+ , then if you want pets pay another 1k, and it goes on.
You are right though

wish all were like Cdproject(I.e witcher 2 publishers XD )

Don't like this game much. If I have to spend money then I would rather buy a RPG game rather than a FPS or anything.

Diablo 3 had a same always online DRM, and surprise! 3.5 million sales in 24 hours and 6.5 million in a week, and no sign of its piracy to this day. Those guys pretty much succeeded didn't they?

Half the story. Do you have the numbers of how many people didn't/couldn't purchase the game for this always online DRM?

As an anti piracy tool, it worked like a charm. Though I'm not entirely sure how I feel about the people who haven't bought the game due to that DRM, if an internet connection is an issue, they have some better alternatives like torch light anyway.

I don't think it works always, Ubisoft is already backing out. Diablo III had an advantage of coming very late after Diablo II, if it becomes a regular affair things might change.

And yeah, Torchlight/II is as good an alternative.
