SimCity, GTA Online is connected to what is at least still a good single player game. SimCity is connected to well...simcity.

GTA Online. I can deal with not being able to connect sometimes but the fact that most people are losing their characters and progress is unacceptable. It feels like a damn beta. It's sad that some people are probably going to forgive it cause it's R*.

It had the same problems SimCity had. Nobody could actually play it when it launched due to server issues.

Sim City by far. At least GTA V offers a single player portion that doesn't require an internet connection.

Then clearly you don't have adequate information to make a judgement and should refrain from doing so.

GTA online is a secondary mode for what is still a solid single player experience. SimCity requires you to be online no matter what. We're comparing the loss of one mode vs the loss of your ability to play any mode whatsoever. No contest.

Yeah, you're clearly in a valid position to offer an opinion on the subject.

The launch certainly is at least. The online itself will certainly be great once everything is fixed. Though deathmatches still feels really unbalanced sometimes for me. :P

How could I not have adequate information when all you'd have to do is look through the overabundant amount of complaints on the Internet about SimCity's launch? lol

Wasn't GTA V fixed after a day? SimCity went for a week if I remember and the game itself was disappointing anyway

Don't know why people are bringing up the SP of GTAV since the topic isn't about it.

No, the game is still kinda broken. At least from what I've noticed on the PS3 version. The servers goes down a lot and there's a lot of characters deletion/disappearance, especially today. Plus tons of glitches, which include people either losing money or apartments that they've bought. Not exactly fixed yet.

It seems to still be giving some people problems, but I've had no issues since they released the patch.

no, it took like 3-4 days and currenlt it cry and say rockstar server is down but just retrying it few times make it work. Sim city was far worse, It was a good 1+ week before it even begins to smooth out... On top of all that they had disabled main features of the game to get there. Took them like 3 weeks to start turning features on again...

Being a part of the SimCity launch, I can tell you SimCity. Simcity is decent (minus the problem), but it was too tied down and at the time of launch results in so many problems. It was an unplayable mess of a game. I haven't been back since then. Just plan bad execution everywhere.

Simcity was shitty because of horrible DRM issues.
GTAO is shitty because of server overload.

SimCity is worse in my book.
