    Re: SimCity 5

    I'm excited yet skeptical. I don't like the multiplayer aspect to be honest. Get rid of that (or make it optional) and bring back the SC4 style regional view so I can make a huge Megalopolis.

    The graphics look good. My biggest hope is that you can make a realistic highway system. Much like in Cities XL 12 with the realistic highway mod.

      Too bad Cities XL doesn't have anything under the hood, it's pretty to look at though.

      I'm on my phone so I don't have a link but EA will be offering a educator version of SC, that sounds like something I might have to get.

        Yeah, Cities XL isn't really a sim game. It's more of a make a model city game. It's too bad. It has a lot of potential. The memory leaks make it all but unplayable though. Even on my top end machine.

          Most End User License Agreements (EULA) are far too long and complicated for anyone to bother reading. And in the case of games, you just want to play the game so click past them without a second thought. But sometimes they do contain some quite ridiculous conditions, and the EULA for the SimCity beta has just such an example.

          The point of having a beta is to discover and eradicate as many bugs as possible before a game ships to the consumer masses. Gamers included on a beta get to play the game early in return for stress testing the title and reporting bugs.

          EA wants beta testers to report any and all bugs found in SimCity as and when they are found, but if you choose not to report one, the punishment will be very severe. In fact, the SimCity EULA states that if EA discovers you haven’t reported a bug the publisher will treat you “no differently from someone who abuses the Bug.” What that translates to is you will be banned from accessing any and all EA products (games) you currently own/play.
          I wish EA did the same thing for their own QA department. Maybe then their sports games wouldn't be so buggy if it was a severe penalty.

            I think if EA did that for any of their sports games, none of them could be released haha.

            Looking forward to this game, but I still need a new computer before I can play it. Wishing I had some sort of income right now!

                EA came out and said they worded it incorrectly, and won't be banning people for not reporting bugs.

                    Wonder if the beta is region locked.

                    Edit: Nope, not region locked.

                      A lot of previews are out today and so far positive stuff to say. As a faithful SimCity guy, I am starting to get pretty excited. I have been playing a new region in SC4 to hold me over, it's actually by best region so far because its really the first one where I know exactly what to do so everything's runs perfectly.

                                I hate Betas that are tutorials. I miss the old days when Betas were essentially full games.
