Anyone try it? Looks really fun, classic SimCity formula [except for SimCity Societies, but we all try to forget about that].

 

Haven't been able to try it myself because of my inability to give EA money for an always-online piece of DRM they call a "game", I've a feeling I'll try it eventually, though.

 

In the meantime, anyone here tried it? How does it compare to SimCity4/2000/3000?

No but I'm tempting to buy it. But it looks like its to much to handle for my brain. I thought the 4th was abit to much of everything. But hey maybe i'll buy it and try it seems cool. If I do we should play it online and start a region.

I've been reading about it, and with how gimped and broken it seems to be, I don't even care to put the effort into pirating it.

Ha! That's how you know something's absolute crap, when no one wants to steal it anymore. It makes me sad, though. I loved Sim City as a kid.

not that it would matter, you can't do or save anything without being connected to the servers, since... you know... everything pings back to the server in that rats ass of a game.

 

oh well, sim city had to die eventually, just as every EA title has. I'm scared the new command and conquer will be the same way. "do you want to build another tank? only $4.99!" "out of troops? for only $9.99 you can have a second chance with 5 tanks and 3 conscript units!"

 

EDIT: Meant to quote Spleen

Okey I bought it and I tried it! It was pretty funny. The best thing is that you play in a region with other people, you can talk with and help each other out to solve problems and stuff. I think its funny although it crashed 2 times in like 3 hours.

a MMO Simcity takes out all that makes it a game. Now its just a big social server with some planning and waiting mixed together.

¨well you can play it the old fashioned way too. But I don't get that old Sim City 2000-3000 feeling, they are still the best ones of the series. But the new one is pretty good to I think.

Give it enough time and they'll come out with a facebook version of Simcity. It'll probably function better.

I'm sucked in to this monster right now. Just played like 5 hours straight. Its a great game. But man I got so pissed when I didn't turnoff the disasters. That fuckin' Godzilla thing riped down 1,5 miljon cash (enormous) worth of property leaving me almost complete broke. So I hate disasters they are so lame.
