SimCity Finally Back Offline

SimCity Finally Updated With Offline Single Player Mode

SimCity Finally Back Offline

"They said it wasn’t possible. They said it couldn’t be done. It’s just over a year now since its launch, but SimCity is now officially free of its always-online shackles.

EA has finally deployed the crucial update, meaning would-be town planners can now get simming and citying to their hearts content, without the pesky DRM getting in the way of their efforts to turn EAville into a gigantic landfill…

The fix has been packaged in with the new update 10, and will allow SimCity to be booted up in Origin’s offline mode - once you’ve connected and downloaded the update of course. All the region maps are available in the new single-player mode, as well as multiple cities. Anything that requires a persistent internet connection though won’t work - including Leaderboards, Citylog, Achievements, Friends List, Player Profile, the Region Wall and region invites.

SimCity launched to a fair bit of controversy last year, as a trifecta of game-crippling problems saw the return of a once-great franchise brought crashing to its knees. A dangerous cocktail of server outages, always-online DRM, and limited city sizes forced SimCity fans to brandish their burning pitchforks and march on EA HQ.

Server outages became a problem of the past pretty quickly once the mass-exodus of players occurred, while this latest update finally means that SimCity is fully playable without an internet connection."

Remember Me (2013)

Remember Me (2013), setelah menyelesaikan DmC Devil may Cry, selanjutnya gua main Remember Me, karena mereka sama-sama dari Unreal Engine, dan VGA requirement nya sama, jadi santai saja. Anyway, review untuk game ini, entah kenapa website besar seperti GameDebate dan IGN memberi rating rata-rata 7.4 untuk Remember Me. Setelah main sendiri, akhirnya gua tau kenapa mereka ngasih rating 7. Entah ini hanyam gua, atau memang betul game nya begini, game ini FULL OF BUGS. Penuh serangga, seringkali ada beberapa misi yang terpaksa harus di restart karena ada bug nya. Contohnya, bug di waktu kita menjebol La Bastile, waktu mengikuti remembrane nya si Trance, bagian kita pertama kali ketemu madame, yang ada alat raksasa entah apa namanya, yang kalo kita kenak mengurangi HP. Gua ngulang sekitar 4 kali disana, karena bug nya, pintu sel terbuka cuma setengah nya saja, sementara didalamnya ada Remembrane yang harus diaktifkan. Setelah 16 jam gameplay, akhirnya tamat juga game ini, dan gua juga sempet ngerusak 1 keyboard waktu ngelawan first boss, si Kid X-Mas sialan itu. Anyway, penilaian Intion untuk Remember Me :

Graphic Quality : 3/4 Thumbs (Game jebolan 2013 bro, saudaranya DmC Devil may Cry)

Storyline : 2/4 Thumbs (lumayan ceritanya, walaupun rada nonsense)

Gameplay : 2/4 Thumbs (ada combo style yang bisa kita rancang juga, evade yang bagus, tapi inputnya rada lelet)

Overall : 2.3 out of 4 Thumbs (above medium rating)

Mau coba? Remember Me SR

SimCity Offline Mode in Final Testing, Says Maxis

SimCity (2013) Offline

"SimCity dev Maxis has claimed that Update 10, which promises to finally bring an offline mode to last year’s unpopular iteration of the SimCity franchise, as well as allow modders to mod the game and game components without impacting SimCity’s online functionality.

Ten months ago, the development studio claimed that SimCity had been designed to play online, and that to give the game an offline mode would be “impossible”. Back in January, however, they confirmed that an offline update was in the works, and now they have confirmed that the change is round the corner, with single player mode imminent...

“Update 10 is in final testing. Almost there Mayors.” Maxis' SimCity  Twitter account tweeted on Wednesday.

The launch of SimCity last year was something of a disaster, with EA’s highly unpopular servers prone to issues that rendered SimCity virtually unplayable. Crashes, lost save data and extremely long loading times were frequent and persistent, with many resenting issues caused by an online multiplayer mode that fans of the franchise had neither asked for nor wanted.

There’s many for whom these latest changes will be too little, too late; SimCity reached its 1 year anniversary this week. However, if this update does prove as significant as it first appears, it may be enough to tempt some players to give the game another go.

“In Update 10, you can still play solo in Regions on your own, or in Multiplayer with people from around the world," said Maxis Manager Patrick Buechner on the update when it was announced back in January. "What's new is the Single Player Mode, which allows you to play the game Offline by yourself. And because your saved games in this mode are stored locally, you can save and load to your heart's content.""
