SimCity

Re: SimCity
I am really looking forward new Simcity. I played every single one (Societies is not SC game for me, so not this one.) and still, I have not beaten the SC 4. Or better to say, only that one. Like every two years or so I install it and give it a new try, but that one is so damn hard for me.
I kinda like the look of it. But I don't like, that it looks more like SC 3000 than SC 4. Well, we'll see once it out.

Re: SimCity
I've always been a fan of SimCity, but 3000 is still my favourite. SimCity 4 is incredibly slow (even at a good PC) and seriously lacks an easy difficulty setting
Hope the new SimCity will solve these things

Suffice to say I'm a little wary of the price... http://store.origin.com/store/eaemea/en ... SimcityUK/

Re: SimCity
Then I will get it like two years after it has been released :/ . But if it will be origin-only game (required to run), then I will probably pass.

Re: SimCity
Ah, Origin, a necessary evil. And the price is quite high indeed. I guess I won't buy it when it's still shiny new.

Re: SimCity
I recently bought Cities XL 2012, was a discount on Steam, and I quite like it. I know from SC3000 that it was mostly squares and no freedom to place something diagonal, while Cities XL really gives you the freedom to just make it the way you want it (although it contains some bugs making houses disconnect form the road). I think Cities XL is more in depth also, because you have to set up a bus line completely yourself, decide which roads to use, and stuff like that, while SC was more general (although I believe SC4 made a big leap forwards wrt to the roads to use).

Re: SimCity
It asks for a difficulty for each city you create on a map (but I think this only affects the available money).Purno wrote:I've always been a fan of SimCity, but 3000 is still my favourite. SimCity 4 is incredibly slow (even at a good PC) and seriously lacks an easy difficulty setting
I think, SimCity 4 is relatively easy. I don't say this because I consider myself a SimCity-Overlord, but if you run out of money, you get plenty of buildings that provide you with money, so this is not much of an issue. If your cities do not grow, simply start a few neighbouring cities and then open up the first city again. The first city will then grow quite fast for a while. What does not work, is building a skyscraper-megacity without neighbours.
Re: SimCity
In SC4, you get some extra demand for easier levels and the cash. Also, if SC would force me to plan bus network, I would be pissed. I want to build city, not play another mini-game. That's like playing war games and being general, colonel and soldier at every moment. Or like building a city in a transport tycoon game .
doktorhonig, that's an interesting. Nevertheless over all the advices the good players, like you, give away, I always "sink". And for the record I never had money problems. It's just ... I really don't know.

Ugh... What's with this fassion in the games industry to take the exact same name from their original groundbreaking titles to use in their upcoming ones, if not to create confusion years down the line on which game people are talking about when they mention the title. Why can't they just call it SimCity 5?

Re: SimCity
Perhaps this will be a good time to start playing Sim City 4...
I played Sim City 3000 quite some time, but it wasn´t really challenging anymore.

Re: SimCity
I'm looking forward to the release of the game. Over at Simtropolis, where I'm from, there has been a lot of buzz about SimCity.
Here's a link to the SC(2013) forums, if anyone's interested.

To clarify myself (hopefully); I need Origin to play the games (necessary), but I don't like it (evil). Thus, it's a necessary evil.

Re: SimCity
You can still survive without playing Origin games.
Re: SimCity
In that context, yes. However, in the context that people were probably thinking; Origin is needed in the games industry but it's horrible.Purno wrote:You've succesfully confused me.ACM wrote:No I haven't...

Also, this latest Simcity looks like it could actually be alright, shame about the price though, that's way out of my buyable range.

Those are Digital Deluxe and Limited Editions. But yes, the city sets are only included in Digital Deluxe. I will definitely not buy it.SkeedR wrote:(...) shame about the price though, that's way out of my buyable range.
Re: SimCity
Purno, The context I assumed in your original post was one where you were somewhat defending Origin. But it turns out that wasn't the case, I just misread you. Sorry about that.
Which is pretty much what my attitude towards the video games industry has been for the past few years. I can't even look at an upcoming game without first wondering what kind of digital restrictions are in place before any other equation comes in.doktorhonig wrote:You can still survive without playing Origin games.
