It's silly for the amount extra you get.. personally I thought GAME's Collector's Edition was a nice balance for £43. It has the London DLC, nice steelbook cover and 3d sleeve.
Pretty awesome as it's £2 less than Origin's Limited Edition and neat if you want the physical copy.
£65 is too expensive for this stuff!
With all the talk and promotion coming out of this game I thought it was coming out next week or something, not March.
I feel like this is going to be like the Sims in terms of DLC.
Sure, thats exactly what houses in germany look like. What the fuck man
Slowly, we're getting close to this

It's actually £30 more expensive.
Is it "EA makes terrible terrible decisions" week? Only thing nice I've seen so far was the LGBT rights thing.

Nope, EA almost always makes terrible terrible decisions.

Nearly everything they do is terrible, they're just doing a lot more this week.
EA's recent unreleased games are looking increasingly shite.

Just because there's an expensive deluxe edition doesn't make the game shite.

no that's the always online DRM's and tiny cities' job
[QUOTE=latin_geek;39414399]no that's the always online DRM's and tiny cities' job[/QUOTE]
The game is always online because it's meant to be played online. Why does nobody complain that WoW or Guild Wars 2 are always online games? And the cities aren't tiny either, they have already been confirmed multiple times to be about the size of a standard/medium SC4 city, but now you can manage multiple cities (up to 16) in a region. The game is actually pretty good when you are playing it and not reading articles from RPS about how bad everything EA touches is.
Because people have small attention spans and are incapable of attacking the substance of an argument, replace WoW or Guild Wars 2 with any game that requires online play for it to work.
WoW and GW2 are MMOs.
Sim City is not an MMO.
Stop defending this.

Maybe you should stop demonizing a game you haven't played. The beta was really fun even without most of the features included.

Okay, Battlefield 3 multiplayer and Path of Exile.
The delineation between MMO and not MMO doesn't really matter; the game was made to be played online. The creative director already said that they wanted to take advantage of the growing amount of broadband users to create a more unified global experience.
Also you can play offline for some time; I think someone on FP posted that they played an entire hour offline in the beta, so it's not like it's entirely malicious, they just understand that most of their consumers have reliable, high-bandwidth internet and want to make the game better for them.
Holding back a lot? Maybe if they were saying that in the deluxe edition you'd get like 3 games bundled with it and a mode where you can go inside of every building and just do what you like I'd consider that a lot but 3 city packs is hardly a lot.

Good to know you were actually able to get in to play, unlike some people who left the game attempting to sign in for 3 hours and got nowhere.

It was a stress test, and it was actually down for 8 hours on Saturday. Yeah, it sucks, but you learn to live with it after playing online games for several years.
Can I just have the game for £29.99?

Yeah, you do, when it's games that actually require online. SimCity has been singleplayer since it was created. Personally, I like the idea of multiplayer, but not this fucking retarded always online bullshit.

Why should anyone have to live with not being able to play their singleplayer games?
And then there are all those people who have unstable connections, or hardly any connections at all. The spaces you're allowed to play the game are also narrowed down.

but the city sizes are 2km squared
[del]literally larger than any existing real life city ever.[/del]
I'm pretty dumb but it's larger [URL="http://www.citymayors.com/statistics/largest-cities-area-125.html"]than a lot of real life cities[/URL]

WoW and Guild Wars 2 are MMOs, meaning they are intended to be played with lots of other players. No game in the Simcity series is an MMO. The largest city size for the new one isn't very big when compared to previous games. People might not want multiple cities and want one city - which they can't do.
If the other SimCity games were multiplayer focused and the things shown so far weren't a downgrade from previous versions, people would be fine with it.
I haven't played many Simcity games but i was looking forward to this when it was first announced, i still want it now but I'm disappointed with what I've seen. Some of it just seems like one big step backwards.

How does that have fucking anything to do with what I said?
It still isn't an MMO.
