Sim City

[dodgers2213]

traffic seemed a little better, but i still have an epic jam in one of my cities. Didn’t check the other one. I’ll probably be picking up Need for Speed, i already have BF3, not really interested in Mass Effect, and meh on Dead Space.

I don’t like racing games, and I can pirate (and will pirate) ME3 and DS3. The only reason I didn’t pirate BF3, is because I owned it for the 360, and really enjoyed the online, so ironically, when I went to buy it I ended up getting Sim City instead, then got BF3 anywho due to magic.

yaaaay

Just a reminder, I think the free game deal ends today. Just grabbed mine, went for Sim City 4 (I know)

Just sign in to origin, there should be a pop up about the deal. Its all very straight forward.

I tried playing this the other day. The traffic improvements are better, but still need work. You still get vehicles that get stuck in random places, and destroy your whole city.

The next patch (2.0) will fix casinos (not profitable enough, and you can lose MEGA money with them), and the dreaded Recycling Center bug. Also more traffic fixes.

no idea when this will land, but a lot of that shit is needed. With the traffic fixes, I don’t have as BAD a problem, but as you can see, there is a still a ton of shit that affects how a large city does

Recycling not working, casino’s not working, schools not working, water not working, fire department not working, police not wokring, buses not working…seriously, how did this fucking game get past QA?

this pretty much accurately describes the game:

I had a quick go yesterday and it was still broken in lots of ways.

Heard a rumour that building roads brick style helps ease traffic, haven’t tried it yet. One day this could be on OK game…
