Exactly. People judge on what others have said, they jump on the abusive bandwagon - it is pointless. People need to just sit down and make their own judgement, if you don't like it then. Its only 60$ or £44 spent... Not much

I guess all the reviewers who rated it shit never bought it right? Get over yourself and stop defending the shithole of a company.

Or how about you get off your high fucking horse and open your goddamn eyes for a second. The majority of the bad reviews took place on the launch day or only a couple of days after. If your boss forced you to write a review on a game that had no working servers, I'd imagine you'd write an awful review regardless of the gameplay.
You keep hiding behind this stupid fantasy of older versions of the game that it's blocking you from even seeing the upsides and improvements of the game.
Is EA horrible at launching games? Yes. I have no arguments there. They did an awful job of it; but stop calling the game itself awful when you are basing it off extremely outdated reviews. Try it for yourself, and form your own opinion. Jesus fucking Christ....
Re: SimCIty, about to be the lowest rated item on Amazon
Taking aside the bad reviews it does look like a good game if you can play it. I will most likely buy the disc version in a few months

+1.
All of these negative comments are based around what they've heard from the launch, yet they then extend it into the game itself. Calling it a bad game etc. Tbh, I'd love to see most of the people giving it a bad name actually proceed to buy the game, come back and thus still say it's a bad game; because it's not.
Having played it for many, many hours; I can say it's an amazing game (not to mention overly addicting), and it's extremely hard to quit the current game once you've been at it for a while. :P: (Well, from my experience anyway)

You're dead set on defending this title, aren't you? Go read Maxis' AMA on reddit and get a flavor of how they act, then try keeping an attitude like that.

Ok fanboy.
Not to mention on how Maxis has been flat lying to the community, banning anybody posting negative comments on their forums, banning modders, and refusing to refund.
Also, "stupid fantasy of older versions", I guess we shouldn't expect our current titles to improve on old ones, right? But go ahead, be the cancer ruining gaming. Blindly throw money at a company that forces restrictive DRM on you.

If you do a little research and go to the first pages of rates
cough
You'll find a lot of the 0s came during the time of server problems.
I'm simply not whining about the DRM because I don't mind paying for a good game. I'm not sure why you're so set on complaining about it, perhaps you've already spent the $60 on something else, I'm not here to make fun of you for being poor; but please don't tell me the reason you didn't buy it is because you didn't want EA to have $60 more. (I promise you, it won't make a difference either way)
What you're doing here is telling me that this is not a good game when I have already played this game. I am well aware, and have already made the decision (like a big boy), that it's a good, fun, worthwhile game. You, however, are basing your opinion off other people's opinions. Sounds like some other people I know...

Haha get the fuck over yourself kid. Just because I don't want to waste $60 on a broken game doesn't mean I'm poor. If you want to spend mommies money then parade around saying how good a broken game is, then be my guest. Your signature is more than enough proof that you're a fanboy shill.
OH HEY LOOK WHO JUST STEPPED DOWN

This is a good example of someone realizing they're wrong. Take note everyone.

Shouldn't you be playing SimCity if its so good? Instead of white knighting for a corporation?

Lol!
I've actually made up my mind, I'm going to wait until I have some left over cash and give this game a go.
Re: SimCIty, about to be the lowest rated item on Amazon
Let the record show that I am defending Sim City 5, and not EA as a company. After all, this thread is about Sim City 5, and not EA.
