I've seen some streams and they look really limiting, and I don't want to be pausing one city while I go and work on another -- that's just disruptive and annoying. After an hour of play I'll probably either have to make skyscrapers everywhere, destroy everything with disasters, or start anew. And even then, I might have to wait a while to actually play if I have to downloaded and authenticate from overloaded servers. Eh, I'll probably buy it anyway. The engine just performs too badly. Some people with really beastly rigs have reported that the framerate goes well below 30 FPS in a full city. Doubling the length/height of a city would mean 4x worse framerate. My guess is that the engine is really badly optimized for multi core usage, and this is probably something that they're going to work on for an expansion. | ||

my UI was kinda buggy so i tried to reload my city but now i cant get back onto any server.. well i should do a lunch break anyhow :D isnt that entire multi threading thing a huge lie? most of the games dont use it properly. In fact i dont know any game that hasnt got problems with multiple cores. It feels like we've just reached a limit for now.. | ||

I know some had lower prices when you preordered and GMG had a 30 % off a while ago. Maybe you could have gotten down to around that level (even if 30 bucks seems quite low). There's some more shady sites that maybe had better offers but I'd do some research before buying from any third party sites that you don't recognize. | ||

I don't mind online-only games, never had a gripe with it. If I can't play because the internet is down, well, that's life. Which is why I'll probably buy this game, once the servers are stable. Pre-buying games is for retards I swear. You either get these problems, or you get scammed like it happened with Aliens: Colonial Marines. What I feel is actually a ripoff is the whole thing of making incomplete games to complete them with DLCs, or in-disc DLCs, which by the way almost killed proper expansions. This is why I feel no shame in pirating Mass Effect 3 in its entirety  . DLCs should be like Dark Souls' Artorias of the Abyss one, that's DLC well done. | ||

I really don't care much about the drm aspect, but I am bothered because games like Skyrim and Civ4 are so much better modded. | ||

Well in 4, you can change it. I really don't care much about the drm aspect, but I am bothered because games like Skyrim and Civ4 are so much better modded. SC5 wouldn't be so bad in traffic if I could just plop down some one way streets. I can avoid intersections and corners pretty effectively with curved road tool but intersections kill my traffic and sometimes i just want a road only take traffic from one side.

At least with Diablo 3 there were frequent updates, blues that posted about the situation and so forth. Just a few more days and EA has surpassed D3's disastrous launch. Also, does anyone knows how to um...clean this up?+ Show Spoiler + Actually there has been quite a few hoxfixes(server side patches) along with a few small patches to the client it's just not as apparent because their launcher doesn't quite display changes have been made. If you look into the installation folder though the logs you see quite a few updates also more dlc to come XD | ||

I used to play SimCity years after it got released just because simtropolis offered so much new buildings or mods for free. You could just activate the cheats and create some wonderful looking cities. | ||

I can't even log in to Oceanic I managed to play about an hour yesterday after midnight, game crashed and my town was gone after I managed to log in again. Sometimes I manage to get into the game, then lose connection inside of the game while the map is loading. Then it's time to wait ~20 minutes again because of the queue. It's getting more and more sad with the always online connection. I wonder if the game is cracked already... | ||

Well in 4, you can change it. I really don't care much about the drm aspect, but I am bothered because games like Skyrim and Civ4 are so much better modded. The new SimCity however is super easy to mod, at least for easy stuff like buildings and the like. It uses the same sort of struccture as Spore did, and like The Sims/Spore you just dump the .package file in the main folder. Although they don't officially have mod support they don't mind people modding and they were going to talk about it soon. | ||
