They have forgotten the most important one: All of your f’ing money for the inevitable DLCs that should have been included in the sodding game to begin with.
Sounds like bad optimization. Just like with SimCity. The game’s graphics look rather poor to say the least – worse than The Sims 3.
Maxis is EA’s Bethesda, only worse.
So many features will not be in this game . They always come up with stupid excuses . We all know they’ll sell them later as DLCs or Expansion packs .
i guess they deleted 86 features 😀 and game doesn’t send review copies to reviewers until after launch
“At least 9 GB of free space with at least 1 GB additional space for custom content and saved games”
at least 20 more GB for additional space for DLCs and 200$ more for contents that were deleted
lolz, i don’t give a shit….
Ea dlc challenge everything
Its EA so its time to skip just like with homo Dragons Age 3. (Wish it gets banned in Russia for sick homo subject matters)
I didn’t really knew that an i5 and a Athlon X4 are on the same level.
