Weekend Confirmed 155 - SimCity, Dark Souls
by Andrew Yoon, Mar 08, 2013 11:00am PSTGarnett Lee is joined by Andrew Yoon and TRS' Dan Trachtenberg. Jeff Cannata is AWOL, presumably because he's still waiting to join a SimCity server. Dan kicks things off with yet another loving tribute to perennial show-favorite, Dark Souls. Listen as he tries to convince Garnett that From Software's hack 'n slasher is, somehow, just like a racing game. But, Garnett counters with Real Racing 3--a racing game so real, it says so in the title. What does EA's freemium game mean for the future of the industry? Finally, we talk about SimCity eventually, but you'll have to wait at least an hour or so before that talk begins. But, you're used to that, right?

So if you're wondering why some people are saying 'this is still the norm', that's why. It's still the norm! That doesn't solve the frustration of people who are angry that MP kinks are entering their traditionally SP game, but they're not going to be less angry when the servers start working well in a week or a month.

If that is the standard then it should be on the box or a disclaimer of launch issues may happen. The other point is if you are pushing an always online game when it does not need to be then I believe you get no brake when things don't work. An offmode could have fixed that issue by allowing people to play the game while servers get fixed.
Why must be settle or deal with this when other markets don't get away with selling broken product out of box. Young market is not a worthy reason for selling broken product when your company is headlining a feature no-one needs to use your product for.They need all the heat so this won't happen again or they think twice before turning a single player game into a always online thing.
