SimCity 5 GIVEAWAY

[THE_EGG]

Hey peeps! I bought this in Russia while I was on holiday for a friend and they changed their mind about wanting it so I've been left without someone wanting it. So it could be in Russian AND/OR English. It should work outside of Russia as I bought Need For Speed: Rivals at the same shop and it works fine but is in Russian.

So I thought I should give back to the awesome TPU community. I present to you, a brand new, sealed copy of SimCity;

Rules:
-Member since Dec 2013 or earlier
-Either 150 posts or received 50 Thanks
-Must not own the game
-Need to have Origin Software

To enter, simply explain what you do with your cities once you have played around with them enough, DESTROY THEM or BASK IN THEIR AMAZINGNESS

Entries close 7pm AEST Saturday 5th April. Winning entry drawn ~10pm AEST Saturday 5th April.
Random.org will be used to draw the winner.

I will pm or email the winner the key and if they wish to have the physical copy, simply pay postage and I can organise that.

First time doing a giveaway so I'm hoping everything is all good.

Not entering, but eternally thanking you for the giveaway!

It's properly Руссиан только, if NFS:Rival was too...

but nice giveaway

 

[z1tu]

Nice one, always wanted to try the new one, even with all the negative reviews. Thanks for the giveaway!

 

[THE_EGG]

maybe I should bold the entry condition

I should probably add that I already have the game myself hence why I'm not keeping it.

You mean me?

 

[THE_EGG]

You mean me?

maybeeeeee but it's ok, don't worry.

 

[RCoon]

maybeeeeee but it's ok, don't worry.

You can't possibly expect tech enthusiasts to READ. Madness.

 

[z1tu]

maybeeeeee but it's ok, don't worry.

If I can't participate, I understand, and I did read but I can't seem to see where I don't qualify "-Either 150 posts or received 50 Thanks", I have 236 posts, it's either/or so I figured since I have the posts I don't need the thanks

Don't worry man haha. You qualify and have entered I didn't make it clear enough before you posted so it's ok.

This is already the most successful giveaway on TPU.

Lol, now I feel like an idiot I read that as, "To simply explain this game, you can either destroy your cities or bask in their amazingness" I wish my brain didn't have this "simplify" function, it has some bugs in it But I would just watch them flourish, I couldn't bring myself to destroy what I've worked for x amount of time...maybe if I could save before

Nice giveaway! Not entering, because I already own the game For those interested - it clearly states that the game is in Russian, but I believe you can switch languages in Origin or just add the game using only the CD-KEY and let Origin download the rest.

Thank you for clarifying that - I can't read Russian, well I can but I don't know what anything means unless it is a borrowed word . Tbh I think the game would still be easy to play because of symbols being used a lot in the game rather than text. e.g. oil, ore, coal reserve levels, building types etc.

 

[MustSeeMelons]

Well, you could play the game, but it would be hard reading some of the statistics It's a very good game, EA did some mistakes, but the in it's core - it's a real Sim City game. Fun and games till more people move in..

it is written also that it is for children older then 6 years so i wonder who from partisipants in the thread can qualify as child

on the topic
i havnt played simcity since simcity 2k and i am kind of off from what destruction tools are avialable in game lately but for sure i will test how much time will take me to destroy what i have build for X amount of time
thx for giveaway

 

[Jaffakeik]

Count me in

Too bad you can't change the language if it is the russian version, otherwise I would have entered.

 

[brandonwh64]

I am in if possible. I usta build cities in SC2000 that would make killer money but after I got bored I would send some bad weather its way to see what happens.

This doesn't seem like can't - "If you want to change the language of your installed SimCity game, you can do so by uninstalling and reinstalling your game."
I might just try it for fun.

FUrther down it says it doesn't work with the russian version though.

 

[MustSeeMelons]

That's just rude. Looking at the price, the game costs the equivalent of 25 Euros. I bought mine for 20 Euros through a shady key place and it was English and has worked no problem.

Destroy or bask? I'm pretty sure I just slowly fail at managing it until it turns into Detroit.

Haven't you seen The Wire? Baltimore sounds far more terrifying than Detroit. At least they have the RedWings *cheers*
