Sim City
 

Is anyone else planning on throwing their personal lives away beginning March 5? :excited:

Must.....resist!!!!!

Cant wait! I actually forgot about it until this thread. The Commercials look pretty awesome!.

Check out youtube, they have some great videos of the game play and new features.
Looks like they are really getting into the "online" era with the ability to link cities with others I believe and your city is also not just by itself. You have to bring in other people.

I pre-ordered so I'm anxiously waiting. It's good timing too since my future sister in law will be visiting next week. I'll be hiding in the basement building cities.

I just hope it will play on my laptop, I have pretty much got out of the computer world and been just using my xbox to game. Might have to pull out the old PC and see if I cant get it up and running.

Now im going to be watching SimCity videos at work today, thanks :shakes head:

haha

If anyone was thinking about this... SAVE YOUR MONEY.

No good? Glitchy? It looks good though. I guess its only torrent worthy? lol

EA ruined it with their DRM crap. You have to be connected to the server even for single player... trouble is the servers are always down or are buggy as hell.

IF you can actually play... it's a major let down. The game engine is cool but the cities themselves are FAR too small. You run out of space so easily... they needed to be at least 5x the size if not 10.

Of course EA will probably fix that with paid DLC. :shakes head:

Yeah, I only got to play about 1 hour. It was alright, but like Steve said, you run out of room way to quickly. Supposedly they are offering refunds. I saw an article about it earlier, but don't feel like looking for it again :icon17:

I'll have to look into that.

The killer for me is the city size. Assuming they solve all the server problems the game likely would be good IF they increased the city size 5 or 10 times over.

I agree. Not having to run power lines and water lines are so much better :icon17:

I'm tempted to try Cities XL

Never even heard of that one, although watching youtube vid's the graphics seem pretty good. Not sure about the rest however.

Its cheap enough on Steam that I wouldn't care much if I didn't end up liking it. $79.99 for Sim City on the other hand is really, really annoying. F*ck EA!
