No One Had Ever B**ch Again!

[Atrocities]

For all those who *****ed about having to buy Space Empires Gold after buying Space Empires a year before had better never ***** to me again!

Maxis released a flawed and rather problomatic SimCity 4 in Janruary and have now just released an Expansion pack for the game that includes features the orginal should have had.

Add to the fact that Maxis's www.simcity4.com is one of the worst fricking game sites I have ever been to, topped off by a complete lack of support ability and customer help, Maxis can kiss my ***!

Shrapnel and Malfador are so far superior to Maxis, Fraxis, and QS that it makes me sick to think that I have shelled out good money to these companies only to purchase crap! Simcity 4 is vertually unplayable, even with the patches, and now they release an expansion pack that fixes a bunch of the original game problems and they want to get paid for it? Civ3 was a joke, and everyone knows it. Moo3, well......... trash is a kind word for that F-ed up game.

I am registared with Maxis, so is my game, but from some unknown reason I can no longer log onto their web site and get updates or post in the forums. Forums, a joke to be sure compared to this site or any site that has updated its forums since 1997.

There is no one to call, no one to email, no one to help. God you have to love a game that has no support, that is unless you want to pay for it.

I loved simcity 3, even the unlimited Version, but SimCity 4 is simply a great looking game that can not be played effectively. It is not enjoyable like SM3 was nor is it, even at this point, worth playing.

I will buy the expansion pack, what choice do I have, and try to play it. I paid 50 bucks for the game and have about 50 hours of actual game play with it. I play it hoping that I can learn it enought to enjoy it. Even after 50 hours I am still annoyed by the game and even more so because of the Expansion pack issue.

I read somewhere where the expansion pack was going to be free, but that never happened.

So if any one ever *****es again about shrapnel and malfador selling SE IV Gold, well then, they are wasting their breath as far as I am concerned.

does this expansion pack require the original game to run or is it standalone like se4 Gold? It might be worthwhile for those of us lucky enough not to have bought the original.

six things to click on, no description of the game. can't remember if that one had contact number's or email's. actually, forgetting to describe the game is a bigger problem than you might think. often enough i've had to go to the fan sites to find out what something is about. and you'd think describing a game would be an OBVIOUS step.

oh look, i'm ranting.

I've bought the SimCity 4 Deluxe package for 50$ and have been quite satisfied by it. I find the gameplay just as fun as the other games in the series, and the Rush Hour features are really cool - new highways, roads, rails, and the ability to cruise around your streets etc. is quite fun.

Of course, I'm running a bit of a higher end system, so I cannot comment much on performance.

I think the website is fine, although sometimes information that seems obvious is a bit hard to find.

What kinds of problems are you having?

I really like Rush Hour. I do agree, the website is lacking and slow to load. Of course, a game description for the SC series is well, kinda unnecesary for many.
Anyhow, I hope that you can get your game running better than it has Atrocities. SC4 was fun before, but RH rocks.

Being unecessary for many is irrelevant. It is bad business to not describe your product, period.
