Title: Is there a game LIKE Sim City but without all the DRM / online only crap?
Post by: Mr. Analog on November 29, 2013, 03:59:25 PM
And not "freemium" crap like Cities XL either

Something that looks decent and doesn't require Origin or an always on net connection and isn't a decade+ old?

I was going to say Sim City 4, but I think the last requirement rules that out.

Otherwise.. There haven't been a lot of sim games as of late that I know of.

Damn

I really like a lot of elements of the new Sim City now that a lot of the bugs are fixed, I still don't like the really small maps or the online requirement.

I was reading some rumblings that the online-requirement may be going away next year but who knows. I would love to set up LAN Sim City or private server Sim City, I just don't want to be tied to some external dependency for a game that I'd buy and play off and on for 5+ years.

No worries, they'll probably turn off the servers in 4~

All I know is that if the internet is down I don't want to have to log into to play a single player game.

So play FreeCiv?  It's basically Civ II and then way improved.
