SimCity Societies PC Game - Build & Manage Your Dream City | Urban Planning Simulation for Strategy & City-Building Fans

If it's not obvious by the title, i am not at all happy with Societies. The game flat out doesn't work, it's defective. It's like buying a broken toaster and trying to toast with it. As you will no doubt read in forms and reviews here, if you're one of the probably 2% of gamers that actually are able to get the game to start without a runtime error, the frame rates are aweful, the game lags out and crashes (so i've read.... on five computer's i've tried to run this game on, i can't even get it to start! ). My gaming rigs aren't slouches either, the computers run other recent games like Team Fortress 2 and Gears of War PC just fine but SimCIty Societies flat out doesn't even start up.I thought SimCity DS was bad, at least that worked! It's become clear to me that EA has butchered the game and SimCity is never going to get any better than SC 3000. It's time to move on I guess and forget what a great game this franchise used to be under Maxis control.This will be the last EA game i buy as well. I had boycotted them already for a year on Xbox 360 after the other steaming piles of crap they'd released for that console. I had hoped their quality had improved over the year but it hasn't. It's no wonder Activision has taken EA's number one publisher spot. EA needs to be ripped apart and rebuilt, get some people in there that actually know how to make games that work and oh ya.... an QA lab would be a worthwhile investment as well.DON'T BUY THIS GAME.... PERIOD!
