Sim City

[Gogan]

So Sim City launched today. The trailers looked pretty awesome, so I grabbed a copy. Here's how things have gone so far:

1) Launch game
2) Realize the game requires a constant internet connection to play. Sigh.
3) Select a US server to play on. Discover they're all (all 4 of them) are full. Sit in queue for 20 mins.
4) Realize that it's not an actual queue, but instead of timer in between "attempts" at logging on. The first 20 mins passes and you don't get in, so the game starts your timer over again at 20 mins.
5) Say "fuck that" and select a Euro server.
6) Start a new game by selecting a map to play on. Select a region of the map to "claim" (where you start a city).
7) Alert: "Unable to create your city at this time. Please claim a city again"
8) Repeat a dozen times in different maps and regions. All unsuccessful.
9) Say "fuck that" and play a different game.

So yeah, that's the new Sim City. Sad how they've ruined this once great game.
