What console were you able to play HL2 offline with? My point is that any console game that you can play offline can also be played offline on the PC.

Half Life 2, xbox 360 that has never been online
On PC, as soon as you install you have to join Steam, then update the game to the current patch level, then select "offline mode" - even then you only go a month before it forces you to update. After EVERY update "offline mode" has been disabled so you have to go online and re-enable it. If offline mode isn't on, it connects to the internet to check for updates and authorize your copy every time you launch it. This shit ain't new info - here's some discussion of it from 5 years ago.
Can I play Half-Life 2 without internet? - PC-Gaming - General
On 360 - buy the Orange Box, play HL2 and expansions for 5 years never needing an internet connection.
Yeah, I hate that shit. I'm still a single player. Multi is fun sometimes, but I really prefer a good story to play through. The market for that is shrinking so I fast I may not have anything to play in five years
Same here. Most games, to me, are like interactive movies. I want a good story and enjoyable gameplay. I couldn't careless about online multiplayer...Yeah, I hate that shit.

Last game I played was intellevision baseball.
Despite the massive suck of having to wait for their servers to come back online and despite the fact more than half the available options were blocked in the Beta- it was still fun... A couple of cities...
What I can tell with this version is you'll be using the bull-dozer a lot more than previous SimCitys... The city map is relatively small and buildings like schools, town halls, casinos have to grow physically to be upgraded. If it's just basic residential/commercial/industrial in the way they will automatically be removed by the act of placing an upgrade but roads or other specially placed buildings need bull-dozing.
As the city evolves you may not want as much industry or you may need to move industry to clear up pollution so you'll be doing a lot of demolishing.
Cities have resources like coal and oil too, you want to zone industry over those areas to tap into them.

I wish I had some Cheetos... I should tell Mom to pick some up next time she goes to the store. .gif "Idea :idea:")
Couldn't tell you the last time I played a PC game. Played some lego pirates and Disney Universe with KEW on the PS3 though. Even console games always want to update and shit before you can play them even offline.
WTF!?!?! I ordered it a 2 months ago and nothing yet!
