Frigging piece of crap...

[Mikeus Caesar]

Having recently bought Sim City 4, i can't play it, and guess why? Because apparently quality control at the factory the CD's are made is so bad, they let discs be sent out with little red spots on them. My copy of Disk 1 has a red spot on it, which means that installation reaches about 23-26% and then stops, because it can't read anything else. Talk about a bitch. And guess what this red spot is? It's the paint from Disc 1, which is also red. You'd think they'd have some quality control to make sure this doesn't happen. I can't send it back to the shop though, because my attempts to clean it have made it look even worse. Utter crap i tell you...

I get very angry when games don't work, but in your case not been able to take it back i would turn green like the hulk and destroy the disk to get some fun out of the game.

I'm going to try and install it a few more times, and if it doesn't work, i'll throw it out the window and order another copy off Amazon.

Nice, my friend threw his copy of pro evoloution soccer 4 at the wall because he lost, it snapped in two, i laughed so much my ribs hurt.

[It won't work and I'm more than a little upset! Gah!]



EDIT: I can understand and sympathise with venting, but not when it's one of those nice rants which has the BBC bleeping every third word.

Eheheh...i got it to finally work...with a little persausion of course, from my foot and some heavy objects.

Kick very hard, and then hit repeatedly with heavy objects. Rinse and repeat. If this doesn't work, throw offending product at nearest wall, or even better, window.
