Im not going to lie and say that i don't want FIFA 13 or 14, but im still content with this. Sure the squads are outdated, but that isnt a minus, there are some players that aren't in FIFA 13 that I still want to use (Santino Quaranta for example), so it isnt all the bad. As for the gameplay, its a FIFA game, which means that its great. The only complaint that I had was that defenders constantly get caught not marking somebody or just going off into nowhere. Its almost funny how they run in a random direction, but this doesnt happen often enough to make the game bad.
Good thing I downloaded the demo and not spend money on it. after reachig the temple and clicking above the door the screen went black and I was unable to do anything. retarted the game and it was still there.
Great story, but gets rather boring after some time
I love the walking dead series, and I love the story in these episodes, but I wish they had made a game with more engaging and interesting gameplay, or even dialogue. Interesting dialogue rarely comes along becuase for a lot of the game you are just looking for items, and in some cases it takes FOREVER to find these items. It feels like a chore, rather than a fun activity, which makes it less of a game in my opinion.
The problem with this game is that it does not constrain your cursor. What I mean by that is, as you play your cursor wonders all around the playing field eventually hitting the reset icon, which terminates your play and starts over again. Really slows you down, having to keep bringing your cursor back into the field of play.
I was expecting more from this game. I was hoping it would be a 15th Century version of one of the X3 games. They really talked up the trade and combat. It turns out this game is very limited in scope.
Many of the actions that you need to take to get the economy going are not intuitive. I ended up restarting the "Campaign Mode" about 6 times before I figured out how to set it up. Then I stuck it on high speed and just watched the money accumulate.
"Campaign Mode" is kind of a misnomer because all they do is tell you that you need to start a new town, build a church or upgrade a theater in the next year or two.
Building your towns is a little weird because they have a list of "suggested buildings," or a list of "all buildings." The "all buildings" list lumps everything that you've built in with everything you could build, so you have to scroll through the big long list every so often to see if there are any upgrades available to your existing buildings.
Oh yeah, the game voice is kind of annoying too.
I've played it for about 3-4 hours and am ready to move on.
Extrem detailverliebt und ganz und garnicht nur ein Jump'n'Run Minigame. Abwechslungsreiche Rätsel und angemessene Spielzeit. Hatte teilweise mehrere Zuschauer, die durch die spannenden Aufgaben und die Atmosphäre mit rätseln wollten. Einziger Kritikpunkt, der mir aber nicht besonders wichtig war, ist die mangelnde Story und besonders das schwache Ende.
Aber davon noch eines der besseren. Bin zwar eigentlich kein Fan dieser Lego-Games aber die Star Wars Umsetzung hat es bei mir mit Abstand auf die längste Spielzeit gebracht, obwohl ich noch einer der wenigen Menschen bin, die nie einen Teil vollständig gesehen hat :)
You pay a lot of money and it only loads a lot of sample tutorials called Bridge Baron Teacher. Each asks you to pay more for fuller tutorials. There is no way to actually play a single game of bridge. The advertising is misleading and I will make no more purchases from this store. You are instructed after purchase to enter a serial number but it provides no such opportunity.
New players have fun, Old players... not worth it.
Let's start with the good things...
The graphics are nice if your rig can handle them (mine defaulted to low for everything so it looked like sim city from yesteryear until I upped it all), I cranked up all the graphics to max just to see what it looked like and it looked pretty nice, even though my laptop can't handle it. I run it at medium for the most part now, and it looks good enough.
The city specialization is nice, make a mining town or Las Vegas... but it's very limited in how long that will work, especially for mining, more of that later.
The MMO part where everyone can join a region is fun, make your city work with others in the world, something I'm sure most of us wanted... but it was implemented so badly it's not really worth it.
So the good things have a lot of bad attached to them. Let's move on to the bad then.
You MUST have a permanent internet connection or you can't even play, there is NO offline mode at all... WoW anyone? Due to the need of the internet connection it's SLOW, as everything has to be d/l or u/l from the cloud (best to let your city run for a few game hours before you quit or it might not save everything you did so sucks if you crash and EA and crashing...)
SimCity used to be a long term game, it's not anymore. I'll explain.
So it's great that we can make mining cities and stuff now and that resources aren't endless, but the resources barely last long enough for you to make a city reliant on those resources, after selling off nearly all your resources to upgrade your HQ it seems kinda pointless when you can't keep that up. I've never seen a mine in RL close after two years because it ran out of resources and yet in SimCity this is exactly what happens, you have to respecialize your city, after spending a lot of time and money to make a great mining town you're basically kicked in the privates and told to make a new city.
Again on resources, water...
Water runs out, fast.
So like in RL our cities are relying on water and power and even garbage from outside of the city... but... there is nothing outside the city other than what other people make. It's been mentioned a lot about the small size of city land now, you really don't have room for power plants and land fill, now we need a bunch of water pumping stations that all run out? With less land to put them on? Bad form EAxis.
I guess the Sim City of old is dead, the new Sim City is for people with no attention span that don't want to spend weeks or even months on their city to make it great. This five minute city is not appreciated to this reviewer. I don't want to make a new city, I want the one I made to be long term. After all wasn't that the point of it in the first place?
Sim City... make a city that grows and is profitable... lucky to get a full day play out of a city now. Your resources run out way to damn fast. For example, you go with mining, plop a mining HQ and have to sell of nearly all your resources just to upgrade your HQ... then have nothing left to sell or smelter... not very long term.
I know this review is long winded, but I hope some people read it and get something useful out of it. Some of us have waited a long time for this game, and it was a total disappointment.
New players have fun, for the old players, not worth it.
