SimCity [Megathread]

[Nickelob Ultra]

Ok I'm very much tossing and turning mentally over the "online only" because

Like this stuff is going to happen and I'm not going to really enjoy it.  The difference between SimCity servers and Planetside 2 servers going down is that the entire basis of PS2 is multiplayer, there is no singleplayer capable content in PS2 (like what are you going to run around the whole continent alone?).  Simcity has such a capability for singleplayer, it's not even funny.  Considering the entire franchise was singleplayer til now, it's very hard to understand that there isn't an offline portion (i.e. my idea earlier in the thread).

As fun as this game is, it's such a problem to me.  I really don't mind the always-online, I really don't, but knowing the server owning companies, they're never going to put their full capability towards actually providing for the users 100%.

I'll probably play in an online place for maybe a week and go back to solo.

if they had called it a SimCity MMO from the beginning they wouldn't be getting so much fire for their stupid "ideas"


also, i manged to get a population of 15,000 in 50 minutes
buildings are pretty damn expensive, even when making 7k+ an hour. also people are dying all the time

i think the only bug i've encountered so far was the texture glitch previously posted. it's definitely a fun game, but the various things they've constricted it with don't make me want to buy it

it's online only to stop the crackers
but this won't stop them
if anything, they'll just host their own servers

Not to mention what'll happen in 5 years when I want to play this game and EA closes down the servers saying some stupid stuff like 'wow that was really such a great gaming time, we are so sorry we HAVE to shut down the servers because they cost us like 50 bucks a month and we can't afford that compared to our 5 bazillion yearly income'

Clinics seem to do a horrible job, ye. Just like in simcity 4 I canNOT see any difference atall after placing a clinic. All these people are bitching 'o no someone cal me an ambulans plzzz' while there are 5 ambulances just down the street sdfsjgkhdgdjh.

Clinics work for me, my whole city was sick until I placed a clinic. Then only a couple of people got sick (a day).

I can only use tornadoes too, zombie apocalypse just randomly happened.

I guess it's when theres no police or enough clinics

Last 5 mins of my 2nd town. 2 buildings got destroyed by a fire in the last 2 mins of my playthrough :(

Is this game hard to run on max?

[TheArmyGuy]

Was just about to ask, is there anyone that can run this with everything maxed out smoothly?
And if so, please tell me what graphics card you have so I can go buy it.

ALso eww why are rail road crossings so goddamn ugly? They're just traffic lights. Nothing else :(
