I think we have enough mature games now a days... I mean I still love mature games but I also really miss the days of Crash Bandicoot and Mario. Games that every one can enjoy, hell yeah. That's why I'm hoping Knack will be better than it looks!

Well from what I've heard the launcher doesn't use Origin's servers to download the game, they use separate Maxis servers. The only thing Origin launches is the launcher.

Holy shit nice! Hopefully they are proper games and not the budget titles.... God dammit.

No it's just one of those deals where you download the launcher and then download the game through the launcher. Like an MMO or something.

Because you would just preload the launcher, it's pointless.

Yeah sounds like a scam to me also.

Nah I hate EA, I really do. But while EA deserves hate, Maxis deserves some praise for developing a really good game. Praise that they aren't getting because everybody is making a huge shit storm. But oh well this happens every time a big game launches without a doubt. Just wait for GTA V or something to come out and…

It's awesome. Many improvements from SC4 except for the smaller city sizes. Also I think the controversy has been blown out of proportion a bit... I mean I've played the game for 25 hours already but there have been times when I can't log in which does stink for a game you paid for... But still Kotaku and the…

You are such a hipster, man.

I like both...

Must be the East side or something. I've already logged in 18 hours on the game the only problem I had was I couldn't log in for an hour at 10PM last night. I play on the western US server.

Hey I learned something.

Oh hell yeah bring on the religious debates!

I don't get it I played the game all day and all evening lol. No issues on my end and there is plenty of people online.

Well it's working great for me, thank jesus.

Bingo.

This does sound like a better Sim City 4 to me. Except for the map size, that is the only thing that is really bothering me. The simulation engine sounds awesome though, there is a lot more actual simulation going on than in SC4.

Well the singleplayer still sounds the same as the old games. I think it's just that people are bored of it now, I mean building regions by myself? Been there, done that. But you can still do that if you want.

Yeah I am loving the indirect multiplayer in all these games since Demon's Souls. For some reason I like it more than just regular singleplayer or regular multiplayer. Seems like it's going to be cool in Simcity 5 too with neighboring online cities affecting each other.

Yeah 4 is crazy. It looks like a photo of a real car was photoshopped into a game. It's got to be the lighting or something, looks just like a pic you'd see on craigslist of a car at a dealership on a sunny day.
