SimCity 5

Re: SimCity 5

Had it crash twice on me. Said screw it after that.

The city size is way too small. Feels more like sim neighborhood.

Of all the changes they made, the small city size is what bugs me the most. You simply cannot make a CITY with the map sizes, I do think it will be addressed in a patch or expansion. I know EA and Maxis want as many people to play this game so it was made with low specs in mind but I built a PC just for this game, let me utilize all of its glory!

Re: SimCity 5

Just curious - what makes you guys think the small city size we're being given in an hour-limited beta is going to be the only one we get in the final game?

Its going to be the size of a medium SC4 city(2 km x 2 km). I enjoy making realistic cities, cities do not just pop up over night with skyscrapers, you build out, and then up. Every big city has neighborhoods that are unique to that area. In SC4 I like to build my city realistically, you can tell how old each area is by the buildings. I just feel like this game has made tons of improvement, just not where I wanted it to be.

I will buy this day one but only because I want to support Maxis, I want this game to be a huge success. sequals do not get more simplistic so I hope we see SC do really well. The more indepth and complicated, the better.

I just saw this was gonna come out for Mac after all. Thank God. I was so upset that we were getting skipped over.

Be careful what you wish for.

Not sure of the negativity. I played and loved sc4 and think sc5 beta was decent for what it was (limited beta) the map size is probably limited and there will surely be way larger sizes. The graphics maxed out looked good (for this type of game). I LOVE the new water flow system. No more pipe building. There was so much limited in the beta that a lot of things are left unseen. Disappointed in the beta because it did not show much of anything but the actual game should be more of the sim city we love and more.

I'm telling you you man, the map sizes are small. I will enjoy it for what it is but the maps are the same size as a medium sized SC4 city. Like I said before, it's only a matter of time before they allow bigger cities. The only thing holding them back is the glassbox engine, Like any game engine, there is no reason to believe that it could not be improved upon. Basically I think at launch it will not be great but over time will be amazing.

Re: SimCity 5

Unless I missed something, how are you seeing the map sizes? Is there not only one map in the beta?

Re: SimCity 5

To much open space in the beta. You can only build zones in a straight line. I like the way it was done in Sim City 4

Re: SimCity 5

Pretty fun, but with the map at current sizes and the whole region concept, it's more like Sim Neighborhood for the most part. Won't deter a purchase (probably pre-order), but that's my biggest complaint.

Sandbox mode confirmed!!

In the beta, there was the option for sandbox, just grayed out since it was beta. I thought it was already confirmed.

That is awesome though, always love sandbox for these games!

Re: SimCity 5

So I was thinking of getting into a Sim City game. I havent played one since the old Sim City in my Computer Lab that basically you laid huge sections of stuff down and Hurricanes and earthquakes would destroy everything multiple times.

What ones would you recommend? I have a older CPU.

The specs I know are:

4 GB DDR3 Memory
AMD Athlon II X2 processor P320
ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4250

Lol.

[mestevo]

That should be able to run any other Sim City I'd think, though I'd check the specs on 4 first, heh.
