It's okay, it's just that people are still very mad from the server forget-ups

Yeah, the game is great it's just ONLINE DRM HNNNG.

It's really fun. But the way people work is butt forget handicapped. Traffic, public transportation, utility vehicles, and emergency vehicles are so loving stupid. They had the balls to call it a "feature". Other than that this game is tons of fun.

Why would they remove a core feature of Simcity? Terraforming was like half the fun in Simcity4.

I never used terraforming at all in Sim City4, I always though it was just something people liked to bitch about

The game is highly addictive.  I played for about 6 hours straight last night.

My only qualms with the game involve the likely introduction of an in-game store where we have to pay $15 for a new building set or even more upsetting, bigger city tiles.

My current dislikes in the game are that cities are so small, the "agent" system that Maxis prided so much about GlassBox with is a joke, and Maxis effectively lied to us regarding online requirements.

Has anybody else gotten the craving for a desert-type of city? it would look cool to me.

my sister says that ea isn't putting offline mode because they want money

[Hiok1998]

Is the game worth $60? or should I wait until it goes on sale. $60 for an online game is a bit much.

Their agent system is flawed because I'll have plenty of water, but not enough water/power because I have buildings on the opposite side of the city, it's like power, water, and sewage flow really slow.

Which is weird because "agents" are supposed to apparently go to the next unoccupied space, which I'd guess means power "agents" are supposed to flow to the next available unpowered building.  Which they don't.  God forbid you actually hit your power or water, and critical buildings like ore mines are the first to shut down for whatever loving reason.
