    That being said, I'm definitely looking to pick this up, but not at $60. I'll wait for a good deal on this one.

    Origin name is either TheRealGumby or pktgumby, I'll have to check when I get home.
    Like wait four years for low end video card and CPU'S catch up so we can have a city twice as big as before.

    You're assuming they don't pull the plug on the servers before then!

    I feel for you guys that want to play over the weekend. The game launches today in EU and the rest of the world. EA has already come out and shut down some gameplay features with their latest hotfix for the servers. They turned off leaderboards, achievements, and search filtering. They really bungled this launch. I'd hate to be at Maxis. SimCity probably is a really good game, but they had to fit it into EA's mold. Giantbomb's review said there is a fantastic game under all the limitations, but you can't get to it.

    Edit: Wow it seems they turned off "cheetah" speed as well.

    And this is what happens when you don't stress test. Idiots!

    Aside from some issues finding my friends online, the servers were fine for me the first day. Yesterday, I couldn't log on to any server the several times I tried to do so. Will I be able to log on after work today? Will disabling Cheetah speed allow me to actually see my city and region again?

    And does the fact that they needed to disable Cheetah Speed mean that all the game's calculations are happening server-side?

    Burnout and Need for Speed should not be in that corpse pile! Also SimCity really is quite fun when it's actually working. D:

    Neither should Dead Space or Dragon Age. Pretty sure that's the whole point.

    No, I meant Burnout and NFS weren't killed by EA as that image suggests. Burnout Paradise was freaking awesome and NFS started sucking some time around Underground and stopped sucking just a couple years ago.

    The last need for speed my friend bought (hes a huge fan) sucked according to him. And what they did to both Dragon Age and Dead Space is pretty lame.

    They have a form of reverse Midas touch.

    I was a huge fan before Underground and thought the series became absolutely terrible from then until the new Hot Pursuit. Every release I would still get all excited and try it out then just become disappointed. They have managed to turn that series around and make it fun again.
