Zero Punctuation: SimCity

This week, Zero Punctuation reviews SimCity. I'm afraid, he doesn't like it very much.

He's got a good point though.It seems that every new game out there that is coming our way needs internet connectivity for the sole purpose of community interactment. I enjoy this but it now means I can't take my laptop with me and play the game. Sometimes I can't be online, what then???

And yes, sometimes we don't want to interact - just play in our own little world. Who are these people that are telling us we can no longer do that?

Portal 1, he compared it to Jesus. Fallout 3, he compared it to thinly spread Branston Pickle. Bioshock, Just cause 2 and Saints Row 2. I can name more if you want. So yeah, quite a few.

I remember when Origin was the premier developer; Wing Commander, Ultima, System Shock, Shadowcaster; then EA bought them. They gradually ruined all of their properties (Ultima 9, Privateer 2), then cancelled the sequels due to poor sales, then shuttered the studio. Now, as a final insult, they've cut off Origin's head and sewn it onto the body of a shitty DRM/DD system.

Holy shit, does EA suck.

Just you wait until they unveil the Bullfrog ball buster,with which they will require one of these installed hooked into origin at all times to not get your balls crushed while playing any EA games. It may seem draconian, but really, only pirates have anything to fear or if your internet goes down. Fun!

EA - ruining your nostalgia since you got nostalgic.

... and putting that on my computer felt like leaving a child of my own in the Jonestown daycare center.
I felt dirty afterwards. I had to take a Steam bath. That's where you load up Steam and download a bunch of indie games to scrub yourself with.
